Ch 35
Steph's POV
"Welcome home" everyone yelled as Finn and Rosemary brought make Liam into their new house near ours, a month after he was born.
"Thanks guys" Rosemary says looking around. Rory has been MIA lately when we talked and got together.
"She's not here" I say and she looks disappointed.
"Oh" is all she says walking away. Finn grabs my hand and pulls me into the side bathroom.
"Spill love, what is going on with Reporter girl?" Finn questions and I shrug.
"It's not for me to say Finn. I refuse to get in the middle of this. They are both my best friends and I will not chose one over the other" I state.
"So something is going on between them" he pushes.
"Talk to Rosemary" I say leaving the bathroom and getting Jacob from Colin.
"Still nothing" he questions and I shake no.
"Sorry we're late" Logan says walking in with both Lexie and Alex.
"No worried mate, where's that gorgeous wife of yours" Finn yells to him from across the room.
"Not feeling well, doctor says it's PPD. She's just very tired all the time" he says and I look at him. Crap it's worse than I thought.
"Oh, you're here, where's Rory?" Rosemary says walking out. She must have laid Liam down.
"Home, she's not feeling well" he says kissing her check and handing her a present. His hands are filled with stuff and he looks a little frizzled.
"A welcome home present" he says as Lexie screams.
"Man, let me help you" Colin says taking Lexie from him and Alex goes off to the game room.
"Got your hands fill don't you mate" Finn laughs as Logan comes closer and places the bottles in the refrigerator.
"You have no idea" he says glancing at me.
"Is she okay, do you think I should stop by" I question as Colin comes in the kitchen with Lexie.
"Here, she's all cleaned up man" he says handing her to Logan.
"Steph, I really don't know what to do. She's just been off since Australia" Logan says.
"What happened" Finn questions.
"Talk to Rosemary" he says.
"Why do you all say that, you act like I don't talk to my wife" Finn accusing us.
"I honestly don't think you do man, because if you did, it would explain hell of a lot. It might even help Ace. You know what, I wanted to be here because we've been friends so long, but Rory was right. You don't know and I can't be her knowing she's hurting at home" Logan says walking away to get Alex. "But Daddy" Alex whines.
"Mate, stop" Finn tries. "Finn, he needs to do what he has to, run home Huntzberger" Rosemary says smirking and we all look at her.
"What the bloody hell is going on here, I'm completely lost" Finn demands. I just laugh.
"You planned all this didn't you" I accuse Rosemary.
"Oh, don't play innocent Steph, you said it yourself. She's not a real friend. A real friend wouldn't have hurt him. We're his friends and should have stood behind him and never forgiven her" Rosemary states.
"Forgiven who love" Finn questions her.
"Rory" she states and we all look at her.
"Whatever happened six years ago with Ace has nothing to do with any of you. I never told you not to stop talking to her. Hell, Steph went out to see her a few times. But if I forgave her, then you should too. She needs you, but you don't care" Logan says looking at Finn.
"Then you're a bigger fool than I suspected Huntz. She hurt you once, what makes you so sure she won't do it again" Rosemary states.
"Where is all this coming from love, you told me that you were glad reporter girl was back" Finn questions as Logan and Colin pack up the kids.
"I was, but not when I saw her book, she portrayed us as nothing more than stuck up rich kids that get whatever we wanted. She's such a hypocrite" she states and I can't believe her.
"It was a fictional story that was changed to make the characters unrealistic" I state.
"Of course you take her side, you're just like her. Wanting everything, but refuse to help others get it" Rosemary says and I look at Colin.
"I have no idea who you are anymore Rosemary. When my friend of from the last 12 years shows up call me" I state walking out.
Finn POV
"Rosie you're going to alienate all our friends if you don't come clean. What happened with you and Rory" I state watching Colin follow Steph out.
"Nothing" she says and Logan laughs.
"Tell the truth for once" he says to her.
"What does it matter now, I have my son and she has you wrapped like a slave around her finger" Rosemary says.
"Finn, I love you like a brother, but you're wife is nuts. I'll call you" he says walking out with Alex and Lexie.
"Bye and don't call him. He doesn't need you" Rose yells to Logan.
"Okay, what the hell is going on" I state grabbing her arm.
"Nothing Finny, come on let's go to bed. We'll forget about these insufficient people" she says placing with my shirt.
"Those are my best mates and yours too" I state.
"Finny, let go you're hurting me" she says and I release her.
"We don't need them" she says walking away.
"I do, those mates have been my family for years and same with you" I state.
"No, Steph and Juliet have been not Rory" she yells.
"What is wrong with Rory" I questions.
"Nothing, that's the problem, little miss Gilmore gets everything she wants, the perfect husband and family. A book on the best seller list, talk shows, everyone wants to know her. She doesn't need any of us" she yells and I look at her.
"Rory worked her arse off for all that. She spent 18 months on dirty bus traveling for her job. She worked for everything she had and gave up on love because of it. She chose between it and it almost killed her for it. She was a wreck when I saw her in Dallas three month later. Sick and looked like she barely ate. She was depressed and missed Logan. She missed everyone. Everyone that she knew for three years at Yale cut her out of their lives. How would you feel? She had to fend for herself and left everything for her career" I state.
"Oh" she says looking down.
"Oh, bloody hell. I was the only one to talk to her for months" I add running my hand through my hair. "What did you do" I question knowing we're finally getting to the heart of this problem.
"I…kind of never asked her about the surrogacy" she says and I just stare at her.
"But you told me she refused" I say knowing she lied to me.
"I didn't want Miss Perfect carrying our child Finn" she yells.
"But you didn't even ask Rosie, Rory is the most unselfish person I know" I state.
"Oh, I know. Did you happen to tell that best friend of yours about sleeping with his wife" she questions me and I look at her.
"I bet Huntz knows Rosie, they don't have secrets.
"Well, let's see about that" she says getting Liam and walking out the door.
"Where are you going" I yell following her down the path and into the street to the Huntzbergers.
"To find out and if he knows then I will apologize to Rory" she says walking faster to the house.
"Rosemary" Rory says shocked as we walk into the living room to see Colin and Steph there. Rory looks sick from her position on the couch. Logan was right, she looks awful.
"Nice to see that all my friends have chosen you Gilmore" she states.
"If you want to come into this house Finn you're more than welcomed but your bitchy lying wife can go to hell" Rory states getting up and walking to the swing to fix Lexie.
"Why so you can have a threesome with my husband" Rose smirks and everyone looks at her.
"This is about Dallas isn't it" Logan says wrapping his arms around Rory.
"Oh, so you do know" She says surprised.
"I told you he did, but you didn't believe me. You had to bloody storm their house" I yell.
"Ace and I don't have secrets, sure I was pissed and punched Finn in the eye, but that's the past. It's not like I haven't slept with Steph. But Colin got over it" Logan says and I completely forgot about that.
"We were 16 Huntz" Steph laughs as does the rest of us.
"So it doesn't bother us that your best friend slept with your precious Ace" she questions.
"Why would it? I love Logan and he loves me. We would do anything for one another" Rory says leaning back into his arms.
"I'm sorry" she says looking down at Liam.
"For" I say to Rosie.
"For not asking you about being the surrogacy; I couldn't get over the fact that you two slept together and then the thought of you carry our baby just pissed me off. Why do you have to be so perfect? You get everything you want?" Rose says and Rory walks over to her, bend down in front of her. But she must be in a lot of pain because it crossed her face. I glanced at Logan who is just watching them. Something is going on here too.
"I'm not perfect Rose, no one is. Do you think I liked that I wasn't asked, no it made me second guess our friendship, something I never wanted to do, but you can't act like this. If you can't turn to your friends in your time of need who can you?" she says and Logan clears his throat.
"Not subtle honey" she smirks looking back at him.
"I'm sick. The doctor found a cyst on my ovaries when I went in for a checkup. I was getting too many pains in my side and got worried. I have to it removed and tested. If it's cancerous, I will need radiation and treatment. We're hoping not, but we're going to need you all to get through this" she says and we're all silent.
"Feel better" Logan says helping her up and back to the couch. She just gives him a small smile.
"Oh girlie" Steph says crying and hugging her.
"Man, why didn't you say anything" Colin questions.
"We could have helped mate" I say looking at Logan who is almost breaking. You can see it. They finally get together after everything and this happens.
"It wasn't for me to tell, only Lorelai knows" he says kissing Rory and walking out of the room. Colin and I follow him to the kitchen.
"I can't lose her" he says completely broken holding onto the island but looking down to the floor.
"Man, woman survive all the time, it could be nothing" Colin says.
"What do you need mate, anything" I question.
"I need time with her. I need Ace to be healthy. I can't do this alone. I want forever with that woman and now I could lose her" he says wiping the tears away. You can see how much he loves her.
"When is the surgery" I question.
"Monday" he says. "Lorelai was supposed to come watch the kids, but I think Rory wants her at the hospital."
"We're watching them, I don't know. You'll need Lorelai there with you" Colin says.
"But work, I can call Honor but she doesn't know" he says.
"No, I'll take off if I have to" Colin says.
"I'm still off until next week mate, I'll help" I say.
"Thanks guys" he says looking relive.
"Logan" the girls scream and he takes off. Steph comes in with both Lexie and Jacob in her arms and Rose has Liam.
"She's throwing up blood Colin, I'm scared" Steph says.
"She's sicker than they are letting on mate" I say taking Lexie from Steph.
"I think so man" Colin says as there is nothing more we can do but wait.
