It was 11:00 when Rory woke up. She had just indulged in 12 hours of sleep. In the past month it had been unheard of. She woke up before Logan and was just so excited that today was Christmas eve. She climbed out of bed and heard Logan grunt at the loss of contact, Rory grabbed her bathrobe and walked to the window, still no snow, she really wanted snow. She grabbed her book and headed to the kitchen, she turned on the coffee pot, and waited for it to brew, while it was brewing she went outside to get the paper, and she began to read it, by the time she got into the kitchen Logan had poured them their coffee.

"thank you but I was going to pour the coffee this morning"

"beat ya to it" Logan said while stealing the paper out of her hand

"hey I wanted to read it first," Rory said with a little whine

" and I say we should order to papers then, they are free for us"

"no it's a waste of paper"

"are you calling our papers crap and not worthy of being printed"

A shocked Rory said " absolutely not, I am just conscious of the environment"

"see what I meant about bantering yesterday" Logan said with a smirk

" I need breakfast first." She said with a smile.

"and my dear Ace what would you like for breakfast this morning?"

"bagels and muffins, then we have to wrap all the presents for today and tomorrow."

"but I hate wrapping" Logan said like a five year old

"but you love me."

"look who's got the ego this morning" Rory's face was shocked she could not believe he just said that

"oh you are so not fair Mr., now go get dressed so we can have breakfast, and enjoy some other festivities today."

"and that would be avoiding your grandparents party tonight, and just staying home, and make love to my beautiful wife"

"we can do it all today if we go get dressed pronto" Rory said while shooing Logan up the stairs

"fine lets go." Logan said . they made it to the bedroom when they began to shower and get dressed, Logan kissed Rory.

" I never said good morning"

"no you didn't" Rory said while kissing him, before she knew they were walking toward the bed, and since they were getting ready to shower, they were already naked.

About 45 minutes later Rory and Logan emerged from the bedroom, dressed, hair still wet and really hungry, and ready to go to the Bagel store. They hopped into the car. On the way to the bagel store Rory saw the car she wanted it was a dark grey Volvo SUV,

"Logan that's the car I want, next week we are going with Matt to test drive okay."

"I told you anything you want Rory anything"

the line at the bagel store was really long, so Rory went next door to CVS to get things she needed. Christmas cards, Motrin, vitamins, coffee, CVS had everything, she also picked up candy, she walked passed the pregnancy tests, she knew it was too soon, so she kept walking paid for her things and me Logan in the bagel store. He was next,

"I'd like half a dozen, 2 everything, 3 poppy a cinnamon raisin, and a blueberry muffin, and a mocha chocolate chip muffin, that's it."

"I got everything I needed, Logan"

"good"

"it will be 13.50 please"

He handed the man a 20, "keep the change, and Merry Christmas"

"merry Christmas too"

Logan grabbed Rory's hand, he always did, it made her feel safe, they reached the car, and stopped at Starbucks.

"I'll just run in" Rory said, within seconds she was back

"that was quick, "

"I know when they see coming they must start making our drinks" she said with a giggle

They drove home listening to their favorite Christmas songs, singing all the way home.

They entered the kitchen and ate breakfast, reading the paper. Rory got excited when her article was in it.

"how come no one informed me that my holiday shopping article was going to be in the weekend paper?" she said excited

"consider it an early Christmas present"

"why thank you. It's already 2 o'clock, shit we have to be at the grandparents by 5:30"

"look at the Brightside, honor will be there and Stephanie, and Finn and Colin."

"Finn, you said positives, Finn is an instant headache, Logan he still hits on me and we've been together for 6 years, it's ridiculous"

"Finn, is just Finn, he does it to Steph and she and Colin were dating longer then we were except for the time they broke up when we went to Europe that summer, and Colin fell in love with the milk made, but they got back together a week after he got home, but that's besides the point, it's Finn's character anyway he has a steady girlfriend now, Rosemary finally gave in."

"no" Rory said in disbelief

"yes, I know it's hard to believe"

"anyways, I must wrap presents, you can wrap theirs"

"fine, lets get a move on it,"

An hour later, Logan had wrapped Finn's Wild Turkey, and Colin's scotch, Rory wrapped Stephanie's blue cashmere sweater, and Rosemary's new bag. It was time to wrap grandma and grandpa's present Richard got a first edition Oliver Twist, Emily a month of personal tennis lessons at the club. They got Honor a spa gift certificate, and Josh a new putter, with the ball return thinger, it's what he wanted so that's what they got.

"now we have to get dressed, I really don't want to go Logan."

"but they are your grandparents, think of the positives, Mom, apple tarts, friend, sub party, alcohol."

"Logan you do realize that we are too old for sub parties, everyone will notice if we are gone, we are the newest Brad and Jen of Hartford."

" I am still in denial, don't remind me."

"it's time to face the facts baby, and just think, next year, I may be pregnant or just had a baby, so that will me no alcohol for me and everyone flocking."

It was 6 by the time they were standing in front of the Gilmore's door, they still had Friday night dinner but it was down to once a month. Rory rang the door as Logan unloaded the presents. Emily opened the door.

"Rory!" she exclaimed "it's so good to see you, and Logan, Richard come here and help Logan," Richard walked over to help Logan " good to see you, how is business?"

"great, Rory and I are happy with how the company is running so is dad"

"so Rory what is new, would you like a drink?" "sure grandma, can I have an apple martini"

"coming right up," Emily said, "Logan, scotch?"

"yes Emily."

"so grandma what time are the rest of the guest arriving?"

"shortly, your mother called, she and Luke are stuck in traffic, they should be her by the time the party starts."

Before Rory finished her drink numerous guest arrived, and before she could think Honor and Josh walked in with Matt. Rory went over to great them, she had lost sight of Logan, hopefully, he saw them come in. Rory hugged Josh, then Honor, but Honor whispered something in Rory's ear, " this better be you next year, it's your turn" Rory just smiled she knew what she meant, being the center of every story. Rory knew she could trust Honor, so she whispered "we are trying, no emotion, mention it to no one." "lips are sealed" . at that point she turned to Matt, "Aunt Rory!" Rory picked him up, he was the most adorable two and half year old she had ever met, he look just like Logan, it was because well Logan and Honor were pretty much clones of each other, but different genders. She pictured her children to look like matt, but with blue eyes, instead of Logan's brown.

"hey Matt"

"where's uncle Logan?"

"somewhere, want to go find him with me?" the little boy nodded his head, he loved Logan so much, and the feeling was mutual. They found Logan in the corner talking to Mitchum.

"Look matt , Uncle Logan and gramps" the little boy wiggled out of Rory's arms and ran to his uncle and grandfather, he jumped in Logan's arms and gave him a kiss. it melted Rory's heart away.

The night wore on Lorelai had arrived by 7:30 and Rory knew that there wasn't bad traffic, it was lorelai's excuse. Matt had stayed with Logan the whole night. Lorelai came up to Rory, "you would think Matt was his son, if you just walked in"

"I know, people ask every time we baby-sit him. And Logan gets all excited and then tells them it is our nephew. I always feel bad at that point, but I want you to know that as of yesterday, we are both consciously trying to have a baby."

"aw, I sensed it yesterday with the honor talk so I moved right past it. And my lips are sealed"

"good, I don't want to tell his parents yet, or the grandparents, too much stress."

"totally understand"

"we are getting a new car, I want the Volvo SUV, I researched it at home, it has rollover and everything, it's really safe, and it's so pretty!"

"my daughter is buying a grown up car, I am getting old."

"I am going to get another drink, you want one?"

"yeah, apple martini," she turned around and saw Stephanie, "hey Steph"

"Rory hi, I haven't seen you in a month, how are you?'

"good, really good," Rory said with a smirk

"so the goofy grin, is telling me that you two are having really good sex"

"well, yeah" Rory said like she was a school girl.

"well Colin is still Colin, the stick in the mud, but it's what I love about him"

"well I should go find Logan, before he and Finn cause a riot."

"I'll follow, Colin shouldn't be far behind."

"we have your Christmas presents we will give them to you before you go so don't leave without saying goodbye."

Rory and Steph found Logan Colin and Finn,

Rory walked up to Logan and said " don't teach your nephew anything bad, or you will have to deal with your hormonal sister."

"I didn't teach him anything bad, right buddy, what did you learn?"

"aunt Rory is pretty" the little boy said and smirked,

"you know I think that smirk is gentic, our kids better not get it because we will never be able to say no to anything"

"well your doe eyes won't help either."

"here hand him over, I will bring him to your dad." She leaned over and whispered for him to meet her in her bedroom upstairs.

When she walked away Logan reminded Finn to bring Rory's big present tonight, and leave it in the mud room.

" I am going to get a drink" he said as he walked towards the bar, and then went up the stairs.

" I think they are going to do the hanky panky upstairs" Finn said

"gosh, I think he is right for once," colin said

" well Rory told me the sex has been great. " steph said

"We all know that it has been for the last 6 years, do you see them they are always just so up in cloud nine." Colin said

"we should be more like them colin" steph said

"then we wouldn't be us."

"True so very true,"

Logan went to Rory's room in the grandparent's house. He opened the door, where he was pretty much jumped by Rory. She began unbuttoning his shirt, barely breaking the contact. Logan locked the door behind him, and began pushing Rory to the bed.

"Ace not that I am complaining or anything what has gotten into you?"

"everything, seeing you with matt, I want it really bad"

"Ace I want to give it to you." He said kissing her with ever fiber of his being. They continued, and within 15 they were laying motionless on the bed.

"it was better than last night,"

"definitely" Logan said

"this room brings back memories"

"yeah, it was weird it was a bad time in my life, but with you it was amazing, I think you were the only reason I didn't totally fall apart."

"I like the spontaneity in you ace"

"I know it was so unlike me" Rory said blushing,

"don't blush, its different, it makes it more passionate, but we better go we have been gone for 20 minutes and like you said our presence is like the Brad and Jen of Hartford. "

Rory began to panic, "we can't go down their now, everyone will know that we.." she pointed between her and Logan.

'well ace I hate to tell you, but people already know we are having sex, and the fact that we did it here is no big deal, just before you talked to steph she and colin just had a quickie in the bathroom, no one cares, they all did it at some time. But I will give you a 5 minute delay," he said while buttoning his shirt.

"thank you" she gave him a kiss before unlocking the door and heading downstairs.

the first person she saw was steph, "follow me please," steph said, they were in her grandfather's study, "did you even look at your hair before you came down?"

Rory's face went white, " is it that bad do you think everyone noticed?"

"no they are too smashed by now, and 2 they really don't care, as long it's not scandalous like the year, some hooked up with someone elses wife. Like if you came down with Finn."

" really that's how it works"

"welcome to the Hartford elite."

"thanks for having my back steph."

"always Rory, we have to go shopping next week."

'definitely, but my mom has to come I sorta owe her from yesterday when I went to Target without her."

They walked out of the study giggling, She saw Logan and walked over to him, he was laughing about something when he turned to Rory and said " you ready to go home Ace?"

"yeah let me say goodbye to everyone."
