"Is she asleep?" Logan whispered as he crept into the apartment that he now shared with his girlfriend.
"Yeah, she only just zonked out." Karen answered, matching Logan's volume.
"Good," he said leaning down to give Karen a quick peck on the lips, "my parents want to visit this weekend."
"Oh boy." Karen muttered.
"What?"
"So do mine."
"Oh boy."
"Do you think if we leave them alone in a room together for over an hour, the world will implode?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm willing to try."
"Good. How was work?"
"Boring."
"Then, how about tomorrow, I go to work an laze around all day and you stay and look after Kate?"
"I don't think they allow that."
"Shoot."
"So, you wanna watch a movie?"
"I only just got Kate to sleep."
"Hold on." Logan said, carrying Kate through to her bedroom/playroom.
Karen smiled, who knew that one day, she'd be living with a rich blonde, heir to the Huntzberger fortune? She didn't. They'd gotten together a little after Karen was born, they'd been watching a movie and he kissed her, completely out of the blue and it just took off from there.
She continued to grin as he came back and slumped down on the sofa beside her, arm around her. She was content again, it wasn't perfect but hey, she thought leaning her head against Logan's shoulder, it was pretty close.
Ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
"Hey!" Rory said, trying to put her shoe on while hopping out of her room, "We're gonna be late."
"So?" Jess replied, typing away at his laptop.
"So…it's mom and Luke's anniversary and we have to be there on time."
"Thanks for that, I didn't hear it the first million times you said it."
"And yet you're still not acting upon it."
"Huh."
She moved in between him and the laptop and gave him a passionate kiss. While he responded she scooped the laptop up and pulled away, "Now fix your tie and be ready in five." She said, heading back towards her room with the laptop.
"Manipulator!" he called after her.
"As if you don't love it." She retorted, looking over her shoulder before closing the door behind her.
He smirked to himself as he straightened his tie and grabbed some snacks and CDs for the ride.
They'd moved into an apartment in New Haven a few monthes ago, they'd found one just the right price. Given, it was the tiniest apartment either of them had ever seen, but it was still there's and they loved it. Besides, they liked living in close quarters.
Rory emerged, once again, her hair fixed and some new earrings picked out, "You ready?"
"As I'll ever be."
"Good, let's go."
Gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
"Have you decided on a name yet?" Rory asked her mom, who was now four monthes pregnant.
"Nancy."
"We're not calling our child Nancy." Said Luke, coming out of the kitchen.
"You already Vito'd Lorelai!"
"Don't you think that would be a little bit confusing?"
"No!" Lorelai and Rory argued, simultaneously.
"Don't argue with them Luke, it never does any good." Jess advised from the sofa.
"No Lorelai, no Nancy."
"And does he listen to me? No." Jess said, rolling his eyes.
"What about Kimberly?"
"No." Rory and Luke say simultaneously.
"What now?"
"'Hi, I'm Kimberly, can I take your order?'"
"Thanks for that, kid."
"Luke, don't you have any suggestions?"
"None that won't get laughed at."
"Oh, come on Luke, when have we ever laughed at you?" Lorelai cooed.
"Don't answer that question, it'll take too long." Jess piped in again.
"They laugh at you as well."
"I know."
"Aww, don't be hurt, it's only because you're so darn adorable." Rory said, going over to Jess and pinching his cheek teasingly.
"You too Luke, won't you marry me? Oops, too late."
Luke gave Jess an imploring look, "Is there an off button?"
"Haven't located one yet."
"Aww, come one guys, you know we love you really." Lorelai said.
"Yeah, but you're just so teasable."
"Says the woman who uses teasable as a word."
Rory stuck her tongue out, "Meany."
"I need a beer." Luke announced, getting up.
"Fine, flaunt the fact that you can have alcohol!" Lorelai cried.
"I'm gonna get more champagne." Announced Rory, getting up, too.
"Traitor!"
"Never mind mom, you only have five monthes to go." Comforted Rory as she came back with her glass.
"And this is supposed to make me feel better how?"
"Don't ask me, I'm hopped up on champagne, boy, it tastes good."
Lorelai glared at Rory, "Luke, she's being mean!"
"What?" Luke asked, coming back into the room.
"Luke, you need to start giving her coffee again, she's becoming more and more whiny."
"Hey!" Lorelai complained, "But, yeah, I do need coffee."
"Our child will not be a caffeine addict."
"Where's the fun in that?"
"Exactly."
"Fun sucker."
Lorelai looked over at Rory and Jess. They both had cheesy grins on their faces and Rory was muttering something in his ear. They were happy, her and Luke were happy. Jeez, how did their lives end up like the ending of some cheap Hollywood movie?
