"You do realize that if your mom walked in on us right now we would be in so much trouble?" Dean asked with a grin.
"Nah Lorelai would be completely cool with her daughter lying on top of a married guy on her couch."
"Very funny, you're joking now but if she finds out I know you will be blaming me for this later."
"It's not like we are really doing anything wrong though, we're just enjoying being with one another." Rory said seductively as she played with his hair. "You look so tired, poor baby."
"I don't want to close my eyes, I'm scared you won't be there when I wake up."
"Dean you're in my house, of course I'm going to be here when you wake up."
Dean laughed at her. "You know what I mean."
Both of them were silent for a while before Rory spoke up again.
"There's something I want to ask you but I want you to promise me you won't get mad."
"That's not fair, I don't even have a clue what you are about to ask." Dean argued.
"I sort of overheard part of your conversation with Lindsay earlier tonight."
"Okay so what's the question?" Dean asked cautiously sitting up a little.
"Well I heard what she said to you, she asked for another chance. I thought that both of you were on the same level with this, it just sounds to me like she isn't ready for it to be over. I just don't want..."
"It's over Rory, it doesn't matter what she says to me ever again. Even if you weren't in the picture, but thank god that you are, it would still be over. I don't want you to feel guilty about any of this, nothing that happened had anything to do with you. I wish that I could go back and change some of the things that I did, who knows maybe you and I would be married or at least engaged by now."
Rory smiled at the thought. "Could you just imagine telling my mom and grandparents that I decided to get married before finishing school?"
"It would definitely be a Kodak moment for all of us."
"Let's go to bed, if we both fall asleep out here it is not going to be a good morning."
"You say that like your bed is so much bigger than the couch."
"Well it is a little bigger and for sure more comfortable."
Rory got up from the couch and held out her hand for Dean to help him up. He grabbed her hand and let her lead him to the bedroom much like she had done earlier to the honeymoon suite.
Rory got into bed first and quickly scooted over to make room for Dean. She patted on the side of the bed motioning for him to join her.
"Are you sure your mom won't come home and find us like this?"
"Well actually no I'm not positive that she won't come home but it's doubtful. It's okay, relax, I mean even if she does find us it's not like I haven't told her about everything."
"Yeah I guess, it's just we decided to wait and I don't want her to get the wrong idea."
"Come on let's go to sleep." Rory insisted.
Without hesitation this time Dean quickly joined her.
"This is a little weird..."
"Why?"
"I don't know...having a boy in my bed. It's a new thing for me. It's nice though...like a big pillow."
"Something you could get used to?"
"Yeah...I think so."
Dean smiled with his eyes closed. Rory continued to watch him as the smile slowly faded away and his chest began to go up and down rhythmically. Things would be a mess for them the next couple of months but right now everything was perfect.
