No drama, some fluff, consider the next few chapter the calm before the storm so enjoy it while it lasts ahah. I sound so malicious geez! Uhmm I borrowed some lines from Season 1 episode Rory's Birthday Parties .. so yeah if you recognize them then know I'm not taking credit for them. Anyways, Enjoy!

All of these entertaining characters belong to the creators of Gilmore Girls who aren't me. Yes even the hot ones, lucky I know!

"Rooooorryyyy."

Grunt.

"Rorrrrryyyy," said a different sing-song teasing voice.

"GO AWAY!" she yelled into her pillow. Wait this is weird, why am I alone in bed when I specifically remember falling asleep with Logan here?

"HAYDEN WAKE UP ALREADY!" A voice yelled in her ear surprising her. She shot up and wiped her eyes, noticing that it was still dark in her room and looked to see her 7 friends hovering over around her bed with big smiles. She looked to her clock which read 4.03 October 8. "There better be a sure as hell good reason for this or I'm going Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon on all your asses," Rory said closing her eyes again.

"Such a peach in the morning, must love waking up to that Logan," said a girl's voice that Rory recognized as Louise.

She just heard Logan's chuckle before Tristan cleared his throat prompting silence. "Rory open your eyes damnit we have to finish this in less than 5 minutes or else your mom is going to kill us!"

Rory slowly and begrudgingly opened her eyes and looked up at her friends. The all gave her big smiles before Tristan started speaking.

"I can't believe how fast you're growing up," Tristan said looking at Rory with a gleam in his eyes.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Rory replied. Every year her and her mother had the same conversation at the time of her birth, and that was the first line that Lorelai would say when she crawled into Rory's bed since Rory could talk and understand the concept of birth.

With Rory's comment, Tristan gave her a glare. "You know you're not the only one who had to wake up this early and at least you didn't have to memorize a script," he spat.

Rory sighed, "Ok fine… Really? It feels slow!" she said trying to sound as convincing as possible.

"Trust me, it's fast," Logan said, "What do you think of your life so far?"

Rory looked up to her smiling boyfriend and couldn't help but smile too. At this point she usually answered that it was pretty good but it was better than that. "It's amazing," she said smiling at Logan still, he winked and kissed the top of her head before Finn spoke.

"Any complaints love? Cause I have a few, such as getting up at such an ungodly-,"

"FINN! Roy's day remember, not listen to Finn complain day," Colin mumbled nudging him. Finn just grunted in response.

Now Rory would usually reply something stupid and pointless like humidity or toast falling butter side down but this year had been a great one, it was the year she found Logan and vice versa. "No complaints," Rory replied with a big smile.

"All right, I'll work on that," Madeline said happy that she remembered her line, but not realizing it didn't apply to what Rory had just said.

"So do I look older?" Rory asked recovering her dialogue.

"Oh, yeah. You walk into Denny's before 5, you've got yourself a discount," Louise said with a chuckle at Lorelai's wit.

"Good deal," Rory replied.

"So you know what I think?" Stephanie asked, glad that she received the lines she did.

"What?"

"I think you're a great cool, kid, and the best friend a girl-,"

"Or guy," Tristan inserted

"Could have," Stephanie said with a smile.

"Right back at ya," Rory replied with a sincere smile looking at all of her friends.

"Ok now this is where your mom and you would launch the whole giving birth story, but there is no way I'm going to stand here and talk about 'doing splits on a crate of dynamite'," Tristan said laughing. "Happy Birthday Pinky, I love you," Tristan said giving her a friendly kiss on the lips and stroking her hair before going back over to his air mattress to get more sleep.

"Happy Birthday Hayden," Colin said next leaning over and giving her a kiss on the cheek. He was always the less affectionate one of the group, not always willing to show his true feelings for someone.

Next, Louise and Madeline stepped up, "Happy Birthday Rory!" the both exclaimed before enveloping her in a big hug and giving her a peck on each of her cheeks. The two then followed Colin away from the bed and back to their air mattresses.

"Happy Birthday love, I promise a Finny lap dance when we're both more awake," he said also giving her a quick kiss on the lips before practically running back to the bed for some sleep.

"Happy Birthday Rory, thanks for being such a good friend," Stephanie said also giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Rory returned the hug but held on tighter than she did with Madeline and Louise. Her and Steph had really formed a close bond and she knew that the line Stephanie read had been more than just memorization, it was what she was feeling. "Love you Steph," Rory mumbled. "Love you too Rory," she said before pulling away still smiling and also going back to the mattress, closing the curtain when Logan went back onto Rory's bed.

He pulled her back down onto the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her body against his as he gently kissed her neck. "Happy Birthday Ace, I love AND trust you."

Rory smiled, ever since two days ago when Logan had finally turned down his defenses, he added those extra words to his terms of affection and it meant so much to her. This was her first birthday where she could be guaranteed she could be happy, it just surprised her that her happiness came from a guy instead of a gift or a party like it usually did. "I love and trust you too Logan, now let's get some sleep so that I have some energy to open presents tomorrow," she joked. She heard Logan chuckle and within minutes the two had fallen back into their peaceful sleep in each other's arms.

"You guys really didn't have to pay for me, I have a black card too you know!" Rory complained for about the fiftieth time while sitting in the limo.

"Rory it's not like it was so five star restaurant with caviar and lobster, it was IHOP!" Logan replied exasperated. The group had woken up 2 hours after the speech at 6 am, giving them ample time to get ready and also to go treat Rory for breakfast. Now they were all piled in the limo on their way to the school with Rory complaining about the fact that she didn't have to pay.

"I still feel bad," Rory said.

"Fine then for my birthday you can take me to strip club and pay for everything and buy me a stripper to take home," Tristan replied with a smirk.

"Finny too Finny too!" Finn added excitedly.

"Perverts," Rory said shaking her head. The group just laughed and then sat in silence after that until Rory brought up the thing that had been bothering her ever since the dinner.

"So when we graduate…" she started.

"We'll keep in touch Rory," Stephanie said knowing that Rory was going to bring it up eventually, and if not Rory she was.

"Yale and Harvard are 2 hours and 17 minutes apart by car," Rory said remembering the research she had done.

"Don't worry love, things will be alright. You know you can't go long without seeing your Finny and Finny can't go long with out seeing his Trissy poo bear," he said with a wink to Tristan. Tristan just rolled his eyes and looked disgusted while the group laughed.

"And Berkley is in New Jersey," Rory added.

"Actually we're not going to Berkley anymore," Louise said surprising the group.

"What? Then where are you going?" Steph asked.

"Our parents decided that New Jersey wasn't far enough, so instead they're sending me and Maddy to Florida," Louise said.

"What!" Everyone exclaimed. The two nodded sadly. "It's almost a day's drive to Orlando, where our college and apartment will be, and about a 2 to 3 hour plane ride."

"It's going to be hard but we can do it," Logan said reassuringly looking Rory in the eye.

"Can we really?" Rory asked unsure, realizing that Logan was talking to her more than anyone else.

"I think we can love!" Finn said totally ruining the moment for the two of them, oblivious that there was even a moment at all. The group shook their heads in annoyance at his stupidity.

"We can Rory, we can," Logan said.

"If you say so," Rory replied. Although there was still a strong doubt in her mind, she felt it best to push it aside and trust Logan when he said that they could do it. Rory was sure she would try her best, and hopefully everyone else would too. She leaned against Logan as he kissed her head and hoped that things could stay this way forever, with all of them there but somehow she knew that their dose of drama they had received was only the beginning of it.

As soon as Rory had stepped out of the limo with her friends, she had been bombarded with greetings for a happy birthday by her fellow students. Luckily, her grandparent's plan had worked and press was not present for the big day, although she was pretty sure some tabloids would still wish her a happy birthday on their cover. Rory arrived to her locker and found it covered with wrapping paper and a big bow with messages written on it from her friends and anyone who wanted to sign it.

Of course, Rory had a 50/50 opinion on the attention she was getting. Half of her loved it, because being a Gilmore implied being a princess when it came to birthdays but of course her other half hated the added attention she got. Several people have gone up to talk to her and she didn't even know their first name and some even went as far as to give her a present. She felt horrible for not knowing their names but decided she would give them thank you cards and look up their faces in the year book.

It was 4th period English class with Mr. Porter and Rory sat taking notes on the newest novel they would have to read and write a term paper on for 50 percent of their 1st marking period grade. Now in English class, she was at peace. Everyone was too engrossed in taking the extensive notes about their new important assignment to give Rory any extra attention. Even Finn, who usually just slept through classes, was taking notes knowing that he wouldn't get away with not completing the project.

Just as Mr. Porter was about to start talking about another requirement of the term paper, there was a knock on the door. He sighed annoyed and made his way over to the door. Half of class didn't even notice; too caught up in taking the notes, while the other half looked at the door curiously, knowing that it was seldom a class was ever interrupted.

"Can I help you three?" Mr. Porter asked, confusion noticeable in his voice. The three muscular men at the door just handed him a slip of paper which caused him to sigh. "This is ridiculous. Make it quick," he said shaking his head and leaving the room, closing the door behind him leaving the 3 men in the room.

"Rory Hayden?" one of them called. Rory looked up from her notebook and looked at the man confused. He was wearing a pair of pants with buttons running up and down instead of the normal seams. He held a big box and behind him two similarly dressed and built guys stood, one holding another box and the other holding a boom box.

"Uh yea?" Rory asked confused, putting her pen down. She looked over at Tristan who just shrugged but she could tell he was withholding information.

"We have a delivery for you," the one of the other men said in a husky voice. Before Rory could ask any questions the other man pressed play on the boom box which immediately started playing 'I'm A Slave For You' by Britney Spears.

"No way!" Rory hollered know what was coming, everything making sense minus the other boxes.

She heard Louise and Madeline gasp before digging through their purses and pulling out dollar bills with big smiles on their faces. Despite the beginning lyrics of the song, the three men started dancing around Rory. Rory was mentally yelling at herself for sitting in the front today, at the request of Tristan, and giving the men a perfect dance floor.

She looked over at Logan who looked half surprised and half amused with his smirk in place. Colin was in the process of trying to cover Steph's eyes while she giggled and watched interested as the men pulled their shirts off in unison and threw them in Rory's face. Rory groaned as the men got down on the floor and began doing body rolls while hailing her as the chorus came on. At this point, all the girls in the room had begun hooting and hollering while looking at Rory envious at the treat she was getting.

The men danced around more during the second verse with more provocative moves. When the chorus started once again, the three all quickly ripped off their pants, leaving Rory comprehending the reason of the buttons. The men were left in pink underwear. At this point, Louise and Madeline began stuffing their dollar bills into the underwear while hooting along with the other girls in the room. The guys averted their eyes, not really wanting to be the suddenly very small classroom. Rory turned around to quickly to glare and Tristan only to find him doubling over in laughter with Finn and Logan. Stephanie gave Rory thumbs up and Colin just shook his head defeated.

Rory turned back around watching the three men starting to end the dance, in accordance to the song. Suddenly, they al turned around and shook their asses where Rory saw that each of them had a word written out the back of their underwear saying 'Happy B-day Rory.' As the song came to a silence, Rory began wondering if Tristan had sent the strippers but was quickly answered by the strippers mooning her with the words "Love, Austin, and Matt," on their bare butts. After they were sure Rory had gotten an apt glimpse, they pulled their underwear back up and bowed to the class while redressing. The girls all catcalled and applauded the performance, even Rory who felt obligated to since it was apparently her gift.

Suddenly, laughter filled the air from the boom box. Everyone looked at him surprised but listened attentively. Then the laughter was replaced with the deep voices of Austin and Matt. "Happy Birthday! In case the strippers' asses were too muscular for you to read, we want you know that we sent them as one of your birthday gifts!" Matt's voice said.

"One of them?" Rory asked. As if they heard her Austin answered, "Yes sweetheart one of them. Like we told you we won't be able to visit you for a while, even during the holidays so you'll just have to wait until next year for your main big gift." Rory pouted. "Quit that Hayden," Matt's voice said.

"Are they like psycho?" Madeline whispered to the group.

"Sweetie I think you mean psychic?" Stephanie asked. Madeline just ohhed and completely forgot that she had asked a question.

"Strippers kindly hand Rory the boxes," Austin's voice said.

"Now one of the boxes has your favorite chocolate coffee cake with espresso icing and topped with chocolate covered coffee beans," Austin explained.

"And the other of the boxes is you hoity toity underwear that we took from you. We sent it back figuring you would need it tonight when your boy toy stays over," Matt said causing Rory to blush then glare at the boom box.

"Oh she's gonna hurt us for that one," Austin said. "Next time we see her remember to wear our groin guards," he suggested.

"Do their voices sound familiar mate?" Finn asked Logan. Logan just shrugged; they did sound vaguely familiar but he couldn't put his finger on who they reminded him of.

"Yeah might be the best bet," Matt replied. Rory just rolled her eyes while the class erupted in laughter.

"Anyways, Happy Birthday Rory! We miss you and Tristan a lot out here and wish we could be there tonight when hopefully you get drunk off your ass with your new best friends and embarrass yourself, but we can't! I hope things are better with your friends; we can't wait to meet them this summer. Thanks to Tristan for the heads up on when your English class was. So enjoy the night, and we'll call you to make sure you got this. We love you so much babe!" Austin said.

"Bye, and stop tearing up you'll make us cry!" both of them said in unison before the tape stopped. The strippers gave one final nod before walking out of the classroom with the boom box leaving the class murmuring gossip on who the two boys that claimed they loved Rory were.

Everyone went back to their regular seats and Rory wiped the tears of joy from her eyes. It was a really stupid antic of the guys to pull, but she missed them so much and their message to her made her miss them even more. Out of nowhere she felt a strong arm wrap around her shoulder and the person kiss her head. She looked over to see Logan looking at her concerned. "You going to be alright Ace?" he asked with her 6 other friends hanging around her desk next to Logan.

"Yeah I just miss them," she replied with a smile. Logan nodded in comprehension and gave her a soft kiss on the lips before taking his seat when Mr. Porter reopened the class room door.

"Ok class I really don't want to know why those men walked out of here without any shirts on, so lets just get back to taking notes on the term paper," Mr. Porter said gaining laughter from the class, even Rory smiled, forgetting how much she missed Austin and Matt.

"I think it's gift time Rory," Stephanie said later that night after the chef had prepared dinner using Rory's favorite meal.

"Presents!" Rory yelled like a little girl running into the living room so she could open them comfortable on the couch. The group just followed her laughing at her enthusiasm and took seats around her after getting their gifts from the respective places in the house. Rory tore apart all of the wrapping paper like the Tasmanian devil.

Rory received a 200 dollar gift certificate to Victoria Secret from Madeline and Louise, both chipping in 100 dollars each remembering Rory's vast collection and special orders from the place. Louise had written on the card that it was technically both and gift for her and Logan, causing her to blush and Logan to chuckle while thanking them gratefully. Steph and Colin had also chipped in and bought Rory Coach Sunglasses and a Coach purse with her initials monogrammed into them. They had also went an extra yard and bought her Coach ballet flats that matched her purse. Finn was the last gift she opened, and found he had given her several bottles more of body spread, a 50 dollar gift card to Hustler, a 50 dollar gift card to a tattoo shop, which confused her, and a 2-in-1 coffee machine expression maker for her bedroom in pink with her name monogrammed into it. He explained that he had it specially ordered from Italy, or at least his mom did.

Rory was close to tears seeing the wonderful gifts from her friends and she didn't even notice that she hadn't gotten anything from Tristan, Logan, or her parents yet. She found that it really paid off to have such rich friends, but really what made her love the gifts was the amount of time and thought they put into it, not caring how much they had to spend for her. Rory gave each of them a hug and a kiss of thanks and began helping the maid Abby clean up the wrapping paper. Once she sat back down she closed her eyes and laid her head on Logan's shoulder. "This was a good birthday," Rory said with a big smile.

"It's not over yet Pinky," Tristan said coming out with one gigantic box and one smaller box.

"There's more!" Rory asked excitedly immediately shooting her head up, nearly taking out Logan.

"From me, my parents, and your parents duh," Tristan said. "Which box do you want to open first?"

"The big one of course!" she yelled running over to it and ripping the paper off.

"That one is from me," Tristan said trying to avoid the flying paper.

Rory finally unwrapped the whole thing and opened the top of it, and her eyes lit up with joy. Inside the box were several items of designer clothes, bags of Columbian coffee, and boxes from Tiffany's as well as a couple of new purses and designer accessories. "OH MY GOD!" Rory yelled along with the three other girls who had come over to peer into the box. "Tristan this is too much!" Rory said to him. Tristan just shrugged, "It's not every day your best friend turned 17! And besides, Austin and Matt shipped in some of the European stuff in there, and I took care of the American designers.

"Tristan will you marry me, have babies with me and dress them in Louis Vuitton?" Stephanie asked excitedly.

"Oh us too we don't care if we're mistresses!" Madeline said clapping her hands. Everyone laughed while Colin scolded Stephanie.

"Watch it Steph, boyfriend here!" he said possessively. Steph just pouted and walked over to him, sitting on his lap and giving him a kiss on the lips. "Sorry Col-Col," Steph said. The whole room erupted in laughter and pointed at an embarrassed Colin.

"Col-Col mate! What don't you let me call you that!" Finn cackled.

"Because you don't sleep with him," Tristan replied.

Colin just glared at everyone trying to get rid of his blush, waiting for the laughter to die down. "Steph why did you have to call me that?" he asked annoyed. "I thought you liked it when I called you that," Steph replied confused.

"Ew, ok I think that's enough," Rory said scrunching her face up. For a moment everyone looked confused before they realized it was a bed name and everyone made faces at the two who now both looked embarrassed.

"How about you just open the gift from our parents and completely erase this memory from our minds?" Tristan suggested handing her the smaller box.

"Good idea," Rory said as Tristan pulled out his personal DVD player and pressed the play button, holding it front of Rory's face. On the screen, Lorelai, Chris, Elizabeth, and Eric sat waving.

"I know you're probably tired of all these videos hun but it's your birthday and we're halfway across the world in Europe so we can't be there for your birthday. I'm hoping that your gorgeous friends fulfilled their duty of giving you our annual speech, and if they didn't I hope they know that they are no longer allowed to stay over! Anyways, kiddo, you're a great girl and I love you so much and right now I'm probably in a European hotel bawling my eyes out cause I can't be there. Enjoy the day, and I knew you and your friends would get back together eventually. Oh, and I'm also sorry I missed the stripper!" Lorelai said with a big smile.

"You're sending her strippers!" Chris hissed at her.

"No silly, her European boy toys are sending her strippers of course!" Lorelai replied in a duh tone. Chris and Eric shook their heads.

"Rory, I really hope you covered your eyes when those men were there. Anyways kid, Happy 17th birthday, I can't believe you're all grown up, it feels like just yesterday I was pushing you on the swings in the playground. But you're not that same little girl anymore, and I can't believe we aren't there for your big day. We all feel really horrible about it but I hope our gift makes up for it. Be safe Rory. I love you very much, and don't grow up to be like you're crazy mother or Liz!" Chris said with a wink.

"I resent that Chris! And the guys are going to leave on their underwear but moon her, so don't worry about that!" Lorelai said with a smirk as Chris's face paled.

"Hiiiiii Rory!" Liz started, "Happy Birthday! I don't really have much to say you, but I did write some rules on getting through your 17th year of life that I left for you in the gift box," she said waving around a piece of stationary.

"Oh no Liz, this isn't like your list of Hangover remedies is it?" Eric asked.

"Hey several of those work Eric!" Lorelai defended.

"She had drinking more on that list!" Chris replied.

"It builds up tolerance!" Liz defended glaring at the men.

The group just watched with humor dancing in their eyes. "I could use that list mate," Finn mumbled to Logan.

"Rory, I have a feeling that much of that stuff are things we, as in your father and I, don't approve of. So my advice to you is don't listen to any of it. Have a great birthday, me and Liz love you lots!" Eric Dugrey said still gaining glares from his wife.

"Now Rory, understand that this gift is one that we trust you with because you're a great kid and we told the people that you were responsible and wouldn't totally mess them up," Chris explained, "We'll go over all of the details of it when we get home, we don't want to ruin the surprise. But unfortunately you have to share the gift with Tristan because it's only fair, but know that you are the technical owner of the gifts. You can open it now, and we'll see you soon!" he finished as the screen went blank.

"Do you know what it is?" Rory asked Tristan considering she had to share it with him.

"No clue, but I promise not to hog it, it is technically your gift," he said. Rory nodded and held the box in her hands; she gently pulled off the bow and opened it. Sticking the stationary that held the rules Liz had written in her pocket for her to read later. Underneath it was a key ring with three keys on it labeled: one, two, and three. Rory lifted the keys in the air with a gasp, which was echoed by everyone in the room.

"Are these what I think they are?" Rory asked surprised.

"They're penthouse apartment keys," Tristan replied holding a piece of paper he found at the bottom of the shallow box.

"How'd you figure out that?" Rory asked still in disbelieve.

"Because this paper says: Rory these are your penthouse apartments' keys," Tristan said stressing the plural apartment.

"What you get more than one?" Louise asked.

"Keys one and two are for the New York one on 5th avenue while key number 3 is for the one we'll be living in while we go to Harvard," Tristan said reading off of the paper.

"No way," Rory replied still not believing any of it. "This is an elaborate joke or something."

"I don't think so love," Finn replied playing with the keys he took from Rory.

"You're a crazy rich bitch!" Stephanie exclaimed as a compliment. "I can't wait to see what the places look like, but why did they get you one in New York?"

"I'm assuming for the trip to New York that we have planned in December and for weekend getaways," Rory said looking at the paper trying to find any other type of explanation or a "Just kidding" written but was unsuccessful.

"5th avenue! I can't wait!" Madeline said excitedly with Louise in agreement before she yawned. "Ok I'm sleepy now," she said, "Bed time for Maddy."

"Yeah it's already 2 I think we should all get to sleep so we're not totally out of it tomorrow morning," Rory suggested still not fully recovered from the surprise, but her mind would be taken off of that very soon. Everyone nodded in agreement and everyone but Rory and Logan headed towards the basement.

"Where are you guys going?" Rory asked confused.

"We don't want to be hearing any grunts, moans, or groans of sexual approval tonight so we're sleeping down here," Colin replied.

"I'm fine with yours love, but Logan mate ick!" Finn said shaking his head. "Have fun though!"

"Guys we won't be doing anything it's a school night!" Rory said trying to convince them.

"Ace, don't fight it," Logan said with a smirk dragging her upstairs with a wink to the rest of the group.

"Logan I don't want them to think we're fooling around," Rory whined as they climbed the steps. Logan just shook his head and shushed her leading them to her room. He stopped at it and motioned for her to open. Rory looked at Logan weird but shrugged and opened the door, gasping at the sight in front of her.

Her whole room was filled with birthday balloons, making up a room of dangling string. Every balloon had the same thing written on them, "Happy Birthday Ace! I Love and trust you –Logan" The message on them made Rory laugh and aw at the same time.

"Do you like it? You should've seen the weird face the lady at the gift shop made at me, especially when she thought Ace was a guy," Logan said looking around at his work.

"How did you get all of this here without me noticing? I'm sure this wasn't here this morning or when we changed after school," Rory said looking around in awe.

"I hired people to bring it in while we were eating dinner," Logan explained.

"I love it!" Rory said giving Logan a hug and a kiss on the lips. "It's not all yet Ace, go look in the bed," Logan said nodding his head to behind the curtains.

"Oh kinky," Rory replied giggling while pulling back the covers. On the center of her bed was a bouquet of roses and a single Tiffany box with its familiar blue box and white ribbon. Rory stared back and forth between Logan with tears in her eyes, it was the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for her. She remembered her birthday she had spent with Dean, he had gotten her a 20 dollar gift card to Westin's Bakery. Not only had Rory thought it was impersonal, but it made her feel like he never listened to her. He knew that Luke's was her favorite and that Westin's was far from it, but she didn't say anything to it, not wanting to start a fight.

"Are you going to open it or just stare at it," Logan said with a smirk and raised eyebrow pulling Rory out of her memories. Rory just looked at him one last time before plopping down on her bed and picking up the box gently, as if it were buried treasure. She untied the silky white ribbon, letting it fall to the mattress before slowly taking the top off of the box, revealing a matching colored cloth pocket.

"The pocket isn't the gift keep going," Logan urged getting antsy to see her reaction.

"Don't ruin the moment!" she said to him laughing but gingerly pulling the pocket out of the box. She lifted open the flap and pulled out a long chain with a large flat heart shaped pendant attached to it. She held on to the pendant and saw that 'Rory' was encrusted into the front with blue and white gems.

"It's white gold and blue and white diamonds," Logan explained. "If you don't like the colors I can have them changed and I can even have your full name if you want," he rambled.

Rory grazed the pad of her thumb over the jewels, feeling the cold smooth gold contrast against the ragged bumps of the diamonds as tears fell freely. "I love it Logan," she said giving him a tight hug.

"Then why are you crying?" Logan asked confused and worried, when he had seen the tears he had thought she hated it and was ready to stick hit foot up his butt.

"Because this birthday's been the best one I've ever had," Rory said still not letting go while scolding herself for being so emotional.

"But you like it right?" he asked making sure.

"I love it and I love you," she replied pulling away and looking him in the eyes.

"I love you too Ace," Logan replied before releasing her from his grasp and picking up the necklace. "Let me put it on for you," he said. Rory handed it over to him and turned around allowing Logan to latch it on as she held up her hair. She turned back around to face him and immediately pulled him into a kiss, pushing Logan down onto the bed and sweeping off the bed, but gently putting the flowers on her bedside table all the while kissing Logan.

The need for air came shortly, and they pulled apart and looked each other in the eyes smiling. "I'm glad you had a good birthday," Logan said stroking her hair.

"It's not over yet," she said with a smirk.

"Rubbing off too much on you Ace," Logan replied mirroring the expression.

"Dirty!" she said laughing.

"I should've seen that one coming," he said pulling her into another kiss. "Aren't you happy they're sleeping down stairs?" Logan asked once they pulled apart again.

"Oh yeah," she said before closing the curtains around them.

AN: Then bucks to the person who can guess what they're doing behind the curtains! haha no just kidding but seriously if you don't know... then feel free to ask... but I doubt anyone really doesnt know haha. I'll update soon on schedule as long you my lovely readers review review review!
