"Are you almost done?" Logan asked Rory as she looked around the dress store.
"Hey, this is your mother's event we have to go to tonight, and I need a dress." Rory said.
"The only good thing about this things is that your mom agreed to take the kids for the weekend." Logan said
"You love the kids." Rory said.
"Of course, but it'll be nice to have the house to ourselves." Logan said, wrapping his arms around Rory's waist form behind and kissing her neck.
"Logan, stop." Rory said reluctantly pulling away.
"I say you wear this." Logan said, pulling out a short black strapless dress with a white center on the front that had criss-crossing ribbons.
"Logan, I can't wear that!" Rory exclaimed.
"Why not?" Logan asked innocently.
"First of all it's too short, my dress has to be long, and it looks like a maids outfit from a porn movie."
"I don't see a problem with that." Logan said with a smirk.
"You wouldn't." Rory said. "Now let's find a dress, and then go get some lunch."
"Fine." Logan huffed; he put the dress back on the rake and followed his wife around the store.

Rory decided on a white and black dress. The dress itself was white and strapless but had a black top attached giving it straps. It had a pleated sweetheart neckline, an empire waist with a flowing skirt and a slight train. When she went to go pay for it and Logan went to the car she saw someone she recognized.
"Lindsey?" Rory asked the cashier.
"Oh, hey Rory I haven't seen you in ages." Lindsey said.
"I know. How are you? You're glowing."
"Yeah, well we finally got pregnant!" Lindsey said excitedly.
"We?" Rory asked.
"Yeah me and Dean. We ended up working things out." Lindsey said with a smile. Rory wondered if she knew about the restraining order she had against Dean. Her question was answered when Lindsey started talking again. "I'm really sorry about Dean all those years ago."
"Its fine Lindsey, you didn't do anything." Rory said when she handed Lindsey her credit card to pay.
Before Lindsey could respond someone walked in. "Hey babe you ready to go home?" Dean asked
"Yeah, just let me finish." Lindsey said. She wrapped up the dress and handed it to Rory. "Bye Rory." she said.
Rory kept her head down as she tried to walk past Dean, but he grabbed her arm.
"Let go of me Dean." Rory said.
"Rory I just want to try and explain."
"I don't want to hear it. Now let me go before I call the cops." Rory said.
"Rory come on." Dean pleaded.
"She doesn't want to talk to you." Logan said reentering the store. He left the car when he saw Dean go in.
"Fine." Dean said as he backed away and let Rory and Logan leave.

"Rory the car's here." Logan said entering the bedroom later that night. They decided to use the limo so they could drink.
"OK, I'm ready." Rory said finishing putting on her shoes. She was wearing a journey diamond necklace Logan had gotten her for their anniversary along with the dress she had bought earlier.
"Then let's go." Logan said holding out his arm for Rory. He led her out side and to the limo.
"So what's this event for again?" Logan asked once the limo pulled away from the house.
"It's for the Hartford children's hospital." Rory answered him with a sigh, she must've told him a million times.
"Did we already make our donation?" Logan asked.
"Yep." Rory said.
"Are you OK?" Logan asked.
"Yeah, I just wasn't expecting to see him." It had been the first time Rory had seen him since the incident.
"It's OK, He won't get near you." Logan said, pulling Rory close and kissing the top of her head.
When they arrived at the event the car stopped and Frank came around and opened the door. Logan stepped out first, and then helped Rory out of the car.
As soon as they left the limo they were blinded by the flashes of cameras as the walked into the hotel where the event was being held. As soon as the entered the door Emily came up to them.
"Rory, Logan how are you." Emily said giving them each a hug.
"We're fine grandma. How are you?" Rory asked.
"Well I'm well. It's a shame your mother couldn't come." Emily said.
"Yeah, well she decided to stay in Stars Hollow and watch Maya and Tyler." Rory said.
"Well that's nice. Well I see some people I have to talk to have fun you two." Emily said walking away.
"I'd hate to do this to you Ace but I need to go talk to someone too. You can come if you want." Logan said
"No thanks, I'm not all that interested in shop talk. How about I get us some drinks and meet you at the table?" Rory said.
"That sounds good see you there." Logan said, giving her peck on the lips then walking away.
Rory headed over to the bar to order drinks when someone from behind her started to hit on her.
"You know if you were my date I'd never let you out of my sight." A slightly familiar voice said.
"Tristan," Rory said turning around. "What are you doing here?" Rory asked picking up her drinks and leading Tristan towards her table.
"Well I was invited Mare, how about you?" Tristan asked.
"I'm here with my husband." Rory said.
"Has it really been that long since I've seen you that I didn't even know you were married?" Tristan asked.
"Must be, I haven't seen you since I was in London with Logan." Rory said sitting down. Tristan happened to be sitting at the same table so he took his seat too.
"What ever happened with you two?" Tristan asked. But his question was answered when Logan sat down next to Rory.
"No way!" Tristan exclaimed. "You two got married?" He asked.
"Yep," Rory answered. "A little over 5 years ago."
"That's good. Do you two have any children?" He asked.
"Yea." Logan answered. "2 of them actually, Maya and Tyler."
"That's great." Tristan said.
"How about you Tristan?" Rory asked.
"What about me?"
"Any women in your life?" Rory asked.
"Not at the moment." Tristan answered.
"That stinks." Logan said.
"Yea." Rory agreed. "You should come over sometime. We're having a BBQ next weekend with a bunch of friends and stuff. You should come."
"Sure." Tristan agreed with a smile as Shira announced that dinner was served.
