A/N As requested by the one reader who expressed an opinion on the comment, my story is coming to an end, so it does not seem to drag on too long. It has an ending that could complete the series (Dean's Return and Together), or allows more story lines to be made. It's up to you to choose.

A few days later, after spending a day in Vatican City, they left Rome for Venice and went site seeing on a tour. They spent two hours on a double-decker bus. Even Rory had to admit after the first half an hour the information was boring, yet they found enjoyment in making fun of the tour guide, who looked and acted similarly to Kirk.

"I wonder if he lives with his mother…" Rory considered.

"Or has spent the night in your garage…" Dean added.

After a bite to eat, they continued exploring on their own, and relaxed in the hotel room until dinner time. They weren't leaving until late the next day, but it was their last night staying in Italy and Dean had made reservation at a nice restaurant. "Shoot, shoot, shoot."

"You okay?" Dean asked.

"We're going to be late aren't we?" She said as she saw the clock read 6:55, and she still had to put her makeup on.

"We're good. The reservation is not really until 7:30."

Rory smiled. "You're the best." She kissed him and went into the bathroom to put on her makeup.

They arrived at the restaurant 25 minutes later. "Wow." We're early."

"Maybe I should always lie to you, about reservation times."

"But then I'll know you're lying, and I still won't be ready on time."

"Good point." Dean said, but she knew he was going to attempt to pull it off again anyway.

They were seated and looking through the menu. The waiter returned. "Veal marsala, please." Rory handed the waiter the menu.

"And I'll have chicken parmigiana. Thanks," and Dean did the same.

They sat quietly for a moment. Rory looked up at him, "Thanks. This really has been an amazing trip." She paused. "An amazing adventure."

"I agree." Dean said. "It was an amazing trip, but it is an amazing adventure."

"I really want to have a kid." Rory said. Dean smiled, she knew he wanted this more than anything, also. He just didn't want to be pushy, because originally her career was a first priority. But Rory realized she was fit for the role of a working mom, just like hers. She would shower her kids with love and attention just as her mom, does and still accomplish all of her goals.

"Are you sure?" Dean said thrilled, but was trying to be, understanding. He was sure, but was she? He worried.

Rory smiled and gave one of her nods. It was a confident nod, and made Dean sure it was exactly what she wanted. Later that night their first child was conceived.
