DISCLAIMER: If I owned GG Rory would have said yes.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I hope that his long-awaited update doesn't suck. I tried to include a little bit of everybody.
RATING: PG-13ish there is some lemony content when it comes to Rory and Logan, but nothing too over the top
Finn nervously sat on the couch waiting for Camille to emerge. He fiddled with his tie not sure whether it looked right. Normally Camille would fuss with it until it looked perfect. Tonight that wasn't an option though. He walked across the room to pour himself a glass of Wild Turkey hoping that his favorite beverage would calm his nerves. Just as he had sat down on the couch her bedroom door opened and he had to will himself not to let out a low whistle. "Camille, love, you look beautiful."
Camille looked down at her dress and covered up her sigh of relief with a smile. She had been so worried that the woman at the boutique had lied about the dress being made for her. After all people would do anything to earn a commission. "You really think so? I feel I don't know. Anyway you certainly look handsome. You did a great job with your tie. I couldn't do it any better myself."
"The only thing you should feel is beautiful because that's what you are." The fact that Camille never felt pretty enough was the only thing that Finn disliked about her. He wished she understood just how crazy her curves drove him sometimes. He'd seen the way other men looked at him enviously when they went out and about. He smirked at the way the blush crept up her cheeks.
"We better get going. Our reservation is not long from now." If Camille hadn't known better she would have sworn that he was flirting with her. Still that was impossible because why on earth would Finn Adler one of the most sought after bachelors in the state if not the region flirt with her.
He couldn't help but check out her ass as she sauntered in front of him. There was nothing like a woman with junk in the trunk.

Lorelai grinned when she heard the doorbell ring. She had been sitting on the couch flipping through an old issue of Marie Claire waiting for her very special guests to arrive. She squealed in delight as she opened the door and found Remy carrying a car seat in each hand. "Oh Remy you have just made my day." She grabbed Lo's car seat from Remy's right hand. "Come on in."
"Something tells me you have a big night planned." To put it mildly Remy just loved Lorelai. She thought she was just wonderful. She was always so happy and willing to help. There were few women like her out there. In fact until their meeting Remy had been convinced that women like Lorelai only existed in novels.
"You know it. I swear there is nothing more fun than being a grandmother. Being a mother was pretty awesome, but being a grandmother makes being a mother even more worthwhile."
Remy smiled. "Rory said something about baby sized trench coats. I assume she was kidding."
"Whether or not they'll wear them has yet to be decided, but they do exist. Do you have big plans tonight?"
"Uh sort of yeah I have a date." It was the first one she'd been on since moving to Hartford.
"Ooh details I need details Remy."
"His name is Jonah and he actually he's Lo's pediatrician. And I have no idea what to expect. I've never gone on a date with someone so successful before."
Lorelai nodded understandingly at the girl's obvious nervousness. Dating a guy from the upper crust could certainly be scary sometimes. "Did he say where he was taking you?"
"A place called Elbow Room."
"You'll be fine there. They have a kids menu. Just do the casual thing. Maybe leave the Phish t-shirt at home." Lorelai joked.
"Oh I will never live that shirt down will I?"
"No chance."
"Thanks for the advice Lorelai."
"Thank you for bringing these two. It really means the world to me."
"No prob." Remy kissed both James and Lo on their foreheads and whispered that she'd see them in the morning before making her way towards the door.
Chris walked into the room just as Remy was leaving. He'd been in the kitchen making dinner. He grinned as he removed James from Lorelai's right arm. "It's unnerving how much he looks like Finn sometimes."
"I used to think the same thing about you and Rory." Lorelai replied as she made a funny face Lo.
"What? No way. Rory is all you. Sometimes I wonder if you somehow managed to have a child with yourself."
"When she was a baby she was all you. It was the eyes really and the looks she'd give me. She was reserved like you even as a baby. Now Lo I can't peg who she's going to be like when she gets older. Some days she's all Logan and others she's all Rory." Lorelai stared at her beautiful granddaughter for a moment. She just looked at her. She looked over at Christopher and kissed him softly on the cheek. She snapped out of her sappy moment and smiled. "I'm thinking it's time to put on a play. What do you think?"
Christopher couldn't help but laugh at her. Never in his life would he understand how he had gotten so lucky.

Rory sighed as a very pompous French businessman named Jean-Henri launched into yet another explicit and inappropriate story. She had had enough. She excused herself from the table in hopes of being able to hide in the bathroom for a while. She stared at herself in the mirror for a moment before sitting down on the toilet and pulling her Blackberry out and sending a very scandalous text. She twiddled her thumbs as she patiently waited for the bathroom door to open. It only took two minutes at the most. She grinned wickedly at the sight of Logan walking in. "Took you long enough."
"Somebody's impatient."
"I hate these parties. I figured we could create a sub-party."
"Just you and me in a bathroom?"
"Well I'm sure Jean-Henri would love to join us right there at the dinner table but I'd rather he didn't. He's really quite repulsive you know. We'd probably become his next inappropriate tale."
Logan smirked. "Did I tell you that you looked stunning tonight?" He whispered seductively into her ear before nibbling her lobe gently. "But then again what's new. When are you not stunning?"
"Uh let's see right off the bat I'd go with when I was pregnant. I was anything, but stunning then." Rory shifted so that he could trail kisses along the curve of her neck.
"Oh you were extra stunning then. Don't you remember how I loved to kiss your belly then? How I'd wake you up in the morning by placing gentle kisses all over each inch of it? How I'd whisper sweet nothings to it?" His voice was so low that it shocked even him. How he'd worshipped her stomach when she'd been pregnant. For a time it may have even better his favorite part of her body.
She swore between his voice, lips, and hands she was sure that if it weren't for the vanity that she was leaning against her knees would have given out on her. She moaned when she felt him start to unzip her dress. "Don't you think they'll notice we're gone?"
"It's a little late for us to worry about things like that now don't you think Ace? I'm pretty sure there is only way to handle the situation I've got going on in my pants." He compromised by zipping her back up and settled on instead pushing her dress up so that it wouldn't take long for them to fix themselves once they were done. He couldn't believe he was about to have a quickie in a bathroom at a business dinner party. He groaned when he felt her hands unzip his pants to speed the process up. She needed him just as bad.

"What was it like growing up in Australia?" Camille asked as she took a sip of the champagne Finn had ordered for her. "I can only imagine the stories you must have."
"Let's just say Stella was just as tough on me then as she is now. Still I wouldn't trade it for anything. My parents while quick to give me everything I wanted were not exactly around. Notice how many times they've called to check up on James." Finn rarely talked about his parents because they brought out a side of him that few knew existed. They disappointed him though never in his life had he actually said that out loud. "What was yours like? I realize I know so little about your life before you started working with me." He made a point to say with me instead of for me because he thought it sounded far better. Even when they were just two people working and living together he never once thought that she worked for him.
"I grew up in Cambridge. My father is a surgeon and my mother is a British Literature professor specializing in Chaucer of all things at Harvard. I had a nice life. Good home. I went to a private Catholic school." She stopped when she heard someone say her name. She turned around and almost choked when she saw who the voice belonged to. It was Virginia 'Ginny' Lucedale her ex-fiancé's older sister. "Ginny it's been a while."
Ginny could not hide her shock when she saw that Camille of all people was the girl having dinner with Finnegan Adler. She'd never understood how the girl thought she could actually do better than her brother. I mean a girl that size was lucky that Peter had even glanced her way. Still though she'd never admit it to Peter she knew that Finnegan was definitely a step up. "It certainly has. Who's your friend?"
Camille glanced at Finn not sure what to say. She didn't want to give Ginny the satisfaction of letting her know that he was her boss and not her significant other. She had never gotten along with the stick thin, over-botoxed, cartilage loving blonde. Before she could say anything Finn stepped in and introduced himself.
"Finnegan Adler. It's nice to meet you. It's always lovely to meet a friend of Camille's. And you are?"
"Virginia Lucedale. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Well I better let you two enjoy your evening. It was lovely seeing you Camille. I'll be sure to tell Peter that I bumped into you."
"Goodbye Ginny." Camille rolled her eyes when she knew that the blonde could no longer see her. "I'm sorry about that."
"Oh don't think you are going to get away without explaining how it is you know that surgically enhanced creature."
Camille took a deep breath before saying anything. "Three years ago I was senior at Harvard and I was pre-law. I was also engaged to marry Peter Lucedale, Virginia's younger brother. The Christmas before our last semester I had an epiphany and I realized I hated the law and I didn't love Peter. I called off our engagement. I withdrew from school. And I just lived life. When a friend told me about this job it just felt right and the rest as they say is history." Camille watched him carefully to see if the news shocked him like she thought it might. Few people knew of her story.
"I'm impressed Cam. I always pegged you as the responsible kind. You were brilliant for not marrying into a family that like. I can only imagine what Peter must be like if she's that crazed looking." Finn joked pleased that life had brought her to him. If there was a reason to believe in fate this would be a good one. "Would you care to dance?"
"I'd love to." Camille smiled peacefully as he pulled her close to him. She rested her head on his chest. As they danced she couldn't help but notice that Ginny was scowling in her direction.
"Love," Finn's voice was so soft it was barely loud enough to be considered a whisper.
"Yes Finn?"
"I-" He started to tell her how he felt when his phone started to vibrate in his pants pocket. He pulled it out and sighed when he saw that it was Colin. He opened it because he figured it had to be big for him to call when he knew that Finn was on a date. He mouthed sorry to her. "Yes Colin?" His eyes bulged. "Alright we're on our way."
"What is it?" Camille asked worriedly as she pulled away from Finn. "Is everything okay?"
"Things are more than okay. Stephanie has finally gone into labor." He threw a few hundred dollar bills onto the table before escorting Camille out of the restaurant. He placed his hand on the small of her back as he guided her towards their waiting town car.

Rory sighed contentedly as she fixed her hair which had gotten mussed during their activities. "They're going to know."
"Do I look like I'm concerned with what they think?" Logan asked as he fixed his shirt. He started to say something else when his phone began to ring. "Shouldn't you be on a date Finn?" Logan smirked when he heard the news. "It's about time. We're on our way."
"Don't tell me Finn and Camille are planning to elope." Rory joked when he hung up the phone.
"Better. Stephanie's finally gone into labor. I'll go tell them that you don't feel very good and then we'll be on our way."

At seven in the morning after several decrees that Stephanie hated Colin a beautiful and pink baby girl named Olivia Dianne was born. Sometime during the wait for Olivia to make her appearance Lorelai and Christopher showed up with both Lo and James. They couldn't miss the birth of their new best friend. While the waiting room didn't look quite as funny as it did when Lo was born it was still an interesting site when Colin made the announcement. Finn, Camille, Logan, and Rory were in evening wear. Lorelai and Christopher were in sweats while the children were dressed up like characters from Casablanca. He and Stephanie had wanted it to be a surprise so they were of course on the edge of their seats wondering what the babies' sex was. He paused before declaring that it was in fact a girl.
