Ch 26
Colin called about 2am saying that Jacob Andrew McCrea finally made his appearance at 8lbs and 3 oz. Mommy and baby are doing fine. Logan took the job as to contact Finn, he has been MIA since Hawaii and no one has heard from him or Rosemary.
Colin and Steph took Jacob home two days later and everything is working out fine. It was a week later when I came home from the store with the mail. "Logan" I state walking into the home office later that day with the mail.
"Ace" he says distracted. He's working from home today; we have a home visit for Alex's school at 3pm.
"It's from Finn" I state handing him the envelope addressed to us from Australia.
"What?" he says finally giving me the attention I wanted and taking the big envelope from me, I watch him open it and read the papers included.
"What does it say" I question him.
"They got married. Finn and Rosemary got married two weeks ago and didn't even call us. It's from Finn Sr. telling us not to contact them anymore" he states throwing them down on the desk.
"What like a restraining order or something" I say picking them up and reading.
"They can't do this can they" I question watching him pace the office when I hear the front door open and slam closed.
"Did you get this" Colin states slamming the same legal paper down on the desk.
"Yeah" Logan says.
"What the hell is he thinking? I know this is Finn we're talking about, but come on" Colin says pouring himself a drink.
"I think it has to do more with Rosemary than anything" Logan says.
"What does that mean?" I snap.
"Not like that Ace, we all Rose, but since those two got together, it's like Finn is completely different and not good different" Logan says downing his scotch.
"He's in love, you can't be upset about that" I state.
"No, that part is fine Gilmore, it's her control over him that we can't stand" Colin says.
"What control" I question thinking I'm missing something.
"He can't go anywhere without her, without her permission. He can't even think without her telling him what to do and say" Logan states.
"I can't see Finn doing that, giving up himself for someone else. I know he loves her, but you can't give up a part of yourself or the whole thing for that person. It would never be the same as it was at the beginning if you do that" I state casually and they look at me.
"Is that how you really felt" Logan says stunned and I look at him.
"You can't give up who you are as a person to become someone else just out of love. You need to be who you are and if they don't like it. They don't deserve you" I states and Colin laughs.
"Nice Gilmore really" he states walking out and I look back at Logan.
"What's his problem" I state confused.
"I never wanted you to change Ace, I would have never wanted you to give up your dreams for me" he states looking at his glass.
"Logan" I say walking closer.
"You were everything to me years ago. I would have given up everything to make you happy. I would have done what Finn is doing. Trying to make the love of his life happy" he states looking up at me.
"You do, you make me happier than I've been in years Logan. I don't blame you for anything. I know that I was the one unwilling to compromise and for that, it will always be a regret. But, look at what we have now" I state and he looks at me.
"I love you, we have each other, Alex and we have our daughter on the way, this is everything I ever wanted. It was you and I'm sorry it took me so long to see that" I say crying and he hugs me.
"I know Ace, I love you too. I guess this thing with Finn just got to Colin and me. They already had to help me up from that depression state and neither one of us have the energy to figure this out" he states and I nod.
Alex passed his home visit later that day and will start next week in pre kindergarten. He's getting so big. When Logan was sleeping and I knew I wouldn't wake him, I headed into the den. I found what I was looking for and dial the number.
"Morgan Enterprises" the secretary says.
"Lorelai Hayden" I state.
"Ms. Hayden, how can I direct your call" she says pleasant. It's rare that I use Hayden, but they all know who I am.
"Morgan Sr." I state professionally, knowing that he would be busy.
"One moment please" she says placing me on hold.
"Morgan Sr. is currently busy, I will connect you to Morgan Jr." she says and I'm thinking that's perfect.
"Finn Morgan" Finn says and I smirk.
"You are an inconsiderate bastard do you know that? I hope you know what you are doing to your friends, you're destroying them and I hate you for that. Steph just had the baby and Lexie is due soon. We want you here Finn. We all need you. The boys need you. They are a mess without you. How could you do this? Finn, this isn't you. Where the hell is the Finn Morgan we all know and love? You letting one girl come between you and all your friends. You don't do that. You're losing the Finn that we love and I for only hate it. I wanted you here Finn, Alex misses you and carries that damn kangaroo everywhere. Do you feel happy that you let down not only your best friends but a 4 year old boy that loves his Uncle Finn for one girl? How could you do that? This isn't you. Steph and I wanted you part of the babies' lives and you're not here. You're never going to see Jacob or Lexie grow up, can you really live with yourself if you miss that Finn. No, I don't think so. So do us all a favor and get that Aussie Ass of yours on a plane and back here before I sent out the search party and drag your sorry ass back here by myself and trust me Logan will not be happy if his 6 month pregnant wife charters a plane and goes to Australia to kick your ass" I state hanging up the phone. I feel better now. I can just image Finn's shocked face on the other end. No one hurts the people I love and gets away with it. Smirking, I head back to the bedroom.
"Ace, where did you go" Logan mumbles as I crawl into bed.
"Just had to make a call, nothing to worry about" I say kissing his cheek and snuggling into his arms.

"Where the bloody hell are you?" Finn yells walking into our apartment that Saturday.
"Finn" Logan and Colin state shocked as I walk out of the hall.
"Hey" I say casually looking at Finn. I knew that we could come sooner or later.
"Hey, is that all you can say after the bloody lecture you gave me is hey. Come on Reporter girl I know you can do better than that" Finn states and glance at Logan.
"You look tan, did you go surfing or something" I say smiling walking into the kitchen.
"Wait, that phone call the other morning was to Finn?" Logan questions me.
"That was no friendly phone call, it was bloody ultimatum and guilt trip if I ever heard one" Finn adds laughing.
"You're here" Steph says smiling walking out after feeding Jacob and hugs Finn.
"Well I had a choice and I rather not have an infuriating pregnant Gilmore dragging my sorry ass back her alone" Finn jokes and shake my head. "Come here Morgan" I state and he comes into the kitchen and hugs me.
"Mate, what the hell happened to her she's bloody huge" Finn questions Logan as he rubs my stomach.
"She's close to end of her 6 month man" Logan says and the boys share a man hug.
"Where's Rosemary" Steph questions and he smirks.
"She refuses to travel but sends her love especially to the girls" he answers and we look at him. "My sister is carrying our baby and she refuses to live Catherine's side" he adds and we all look at each other.
"Finn, that's incredible" I say hugging him again. This is what they want so much and it's finally happening.
"Then why the whole letter and restraining order than" Colin questions him.
"My father thinks that if we associate with states people, that we won't come back for the baby. Rose and I had no idea that he sent that and it wasn't until the lovely Mrs. Huntzberger called to scream at me that I figured something was up. The marriage was a sudden thing a few weeks ago when we were in New Zealand" Finn says as we all move into the living room.
"But that doesn't explain the no contact all these months Finn" I state not letting him off the hook.
"There's no excuse for that love, and we're sorry. We were just so caught up in what was going on and the surrogacy that by the time we wanted to call it was too early here" he states and I nod.
"Well we're glad your back man and congrats" Logan states "and you and I will be having a talk about the international phone calls you like to make missy" he states looking at me.
"Why is that? Finn's back and everything is falling back into place" I state looking at my husband.
"I can't stay love. I need to get back to Rose, but we'll be back after the baby is born" Finn says and we all look at him.
"When is that" Steph questions.
"March" he says and I look at Logan, the wheels in my head already turning.
"No way Ace, Lexie will only be a few months, there is no way I'm taking her across the world to Australia" he states.
"Then I guess the kids and I will go alone" I state looking at Steph.
"You won't be alone Girlie, Jacob and I will be there too" she states and Colin looks at her.
"Steph" Colin scolds her.
"No, Rosemary needs us and we understand why she wasn't here, but that's no reason as to why we can't be there for her" she states and I nod.
"Fine, we'll go, but we get okay from the doctor Ace before we board that plane" Logan says giving in and I smile.
"Good, now I need pie" I state pushing myself up and they all laugh.
