The Dragonfly Inn, Christmas Morning

"Ow" Logan banged is leg against the door frame as he pulled his jeans on quickly. Rory was still asleep and he didn't want to wake her, she seemed like she'd had a bad night. It was 7.30am and the boys were too excited to stay asleep any longer so they were up and walking about.

Rory stirred in bed and Logan tried to tiptoe quietly across the wooden floors to reach his shirt. Logan had heard Lorelai and Luke go downstairs about 10 minutes ago so he figured he would go down and wait with them and the boys. He didn't want to disturb Rory but the boys wanted to so much. Eden had slept through it all. She wouldn't have known any different if she'd missed Christmas day.

Logan knew Rory was so excited about this Christmas and she wanted it to be the best ever. Logan and the boys were back, it was Eden's first Christmas and most of all she had her mom and her town back. Rory felt at home for the first time in 5 years and Logan was doing his most very best not to let her down. He wanted Rory to still be the innocent person that she was, she believed and sometimes he asked himself the question 'Do you believe?'

Logan tiptoed down the stairs and into the reception of the dragonfly. He entered the dining room with both Dylan and Levi excitedly following behind him.

"Hey" Luke smiled at Logan and the boys as the sat down at the table

"Where's Rory?" Lorelai asked.

"She's still asleep, I didn't want to wake her, she seemed like she'd had a tough night" Logan explained. He almost felt bad for telling Lorelai things about Rory. He felt like she should be the one telling him things, like it used to, so long ago. But in the space of 5 years things were different, Logan knew the new Rory better than Lorelai and after all he had been the only person to stick with her and care for in the time that ad passed. He had looked after her throughout even after she left, after he moved on and after she moved on. He had helped her through the transition into the schedule set up for access to the boys. He was the one who called her every week to check she was ok. He even sent her food and basic things when he knew Jack was out of town because Rory would be so depressed she forgot to eat and she had no energy to go out. Lorelai didn't know the new Rory that well, he was the one who was with her all the time; he loved her all the time. It was weird to be answering to Lorelai but it was just his responsibility now.

"Oh yeah, why, was she ill?" Lorelai asked as she busied herself in presenting toast to Levi and Dylan and pouring coffee for Logan.

"No well not really she just woke up in the night and looked sort of upset and scared. I thought she might need a bit longer to sleep if she's spent the night worrying about other things." Logan tried. Lorelai liked that he sounded concerned, she liked that he cared for Rory but most of all she loved that fact that Logan loved Rory with every fibre of h is being, she could tell just by watching the way he looked at her, he was in love. Lorelai knew that it would take time for her to get used to being a grandparent and to being back in Rory's life after 5 years apart. It was strange for her and she knew it would be strange for Rory too. Lorelai needed time to grasp everything to understand the pain Rory had faced away from Lorelai, then eventually away from Logan and finally with jack. Logan had once hinted to Lorelai that Rory had suffered with jack, not in an abuse way physically but in a way that hurt Rory more than cuts or bruises could. He tore her heart out and stamped on it, he cheated on her and she knew it but still she didn't leave him. He left her for months on end to play baseball all over the world without even thinking about Rory or the baby of his she was carrying. He wasn't even there when Eden was born, but Logan was, he was outside the hospital room pacing up and down. Logan was there jack wasn't and somehow Lorelai almost managed to out herself in the same category as Jack, she wasn't there for Rory either.

There was an awkward silence for a while until voices could be heard. They were coming from upstairs.

Rory was talking to Eden, whispering comforts in her tiny ear. Logan jumped quickly and started scanning the room, he was looking for something. He stopped, suddenly "Levi, pass me that video recorder quick!" He shouted.

Levi grabbed the camera from the table and passed it across to Logan.

Logan switched the camera on and started recording Rory as she talked to Eden quietly, walking down the stairs.

Rory appeared, she look beautiful In Logan's eyes. She was so alive and awake; she looked like she had waited her whole life for this moment. To see her mom, Luke, Logan and her children all together in the same room as a family. It was her dream.

"Hey" Rory said as she appeared in the doorway. "What's with the camera?" She asked. She walked around the room and kissed both Dylan and Levi on the head before sitting down next to her mom.

"Nothing, just you know home movies" Logan said nervously shrugging off Rory's question

"Sure" Rory said smiling at him, then reaching out for some toast

"So sweetie, you have a good sleep?" Lorelai asked generally

"Yeah thanks" Rory replied sweetly. Dylan and Levi began to fidget in their seats; now that Rory was down they wanted to open presents.

Levi looked at Rory with his sad face and she smiled at him

"She then looked at Dylan next to her and whispered in his ear "Go For it" they both beamed and quickly ran to the tree.

Lorelai and Luke followed them into the other room, hand in hand.

Christmas brought out the best in people and Rory liked that. It was only early still but Rory thought this was the best Christmas ever, she felt so young again, she really felt 25, lately shed been feeling old and worn but today she didn't, she felt like she had a life to live, energy and love.

Logan looked at her, pointing his camera in her face, "So, how's Christmas?" he asked

"The best ever" She smiled, standing up and walking towards him. She placed her arm around his neck and lent towards him, she kissed him softly.

"That good?" Logan asked almost laughing

"Even better" She said smiling cheekily.

Logan looked shocked as she grabbed his hand and pulled him along into the other room.

As the morning progressed, Dylan and Levi found their toys and played games with each other.

Lorelai and Luke both looked so happy together, with the boys and with Rory again, Logan thought it was perfect. He wandered upstairs to find Eden, to bring her for Rory.

He lent over Eden's crib, and looked into her beautiful born eyes, she looked so unbelievably like Rory, and she was amazing. Logan reached in and picked her up, he lent her across his chest and rocked her. Eden gurgled quietly in Logan's ear. It was then at that moment he realised he wanted Rory, whether it was wrong or dangerous, he wanted her, he wanted her and the boys and he wanted Eden.

Logan carried her down the stairs, talking to her sweetly, Eden smiling at him. He handed her to Rory with a smile on his face.

Rory could tell what he was thinking; she had been thinking the same

"I wanna be with you ace" he whispered to her as they stood in the corner of the room, watching Lorelai and Luke playing cars with the boys

"I wanna be with you too" Rory replied, quietly, she kissed his cheek and they both smiled.

"Does it feel like Christmas?" Logan asked

"Yeah, it does" Rory replied with a silent laugh.
