AN: Update yay!!!!! so review and i'll write more!!
Ch 9
"Love, were the bloody hell are we" Finn questions as we drive into Stars Hollow. We left Australia two days ago; we wanted to spend New Years in New York with Steph and Colin.
"Stars Hollow Finn" I state making a turn into the town.
"Is that a moose?" he questions confused looking on the top of school. there's a moose instead of Rudolph the red nose reindeer.
"Yep, Rudolph was kidnapped before the Christmas Eve play a few years ago and Taylor needed a replacement for immediately, so Tiger too his place" I say like its common knowledge.
"Tiger love, that's a moose" he says pointing to it.
"I know that Finn, but the kids named him Tiger since they painted stripes on his left side to piss off Taylor" I laugh as we pass it and he see the orange stripes on him. He just shakes his head. He's not really prepared for the craziness of Stars Hollow. "Oh, remember to turn left at Monty or you'll be looping the town again.
"Monty, what in a bloody hell is a Monty" he says and I point to the yellow rooster on the top of the street light. "Kitten, are you sure you didn't make a wrong turn and end up in Oz. Are there munchkins that will jump out with big suckers and tap shoes?" he questions and I laugh.
"No, but there's a overgrown man that still lives with his mother and will try to sell you anything, one that will accuse you of wrong doing like walking down the street on the wrong side on a Thursday and a dance instructor who might want to make you husband number 7" I state pulling my car behind Mom's jeep. I'm afraid to see his shocked face so I look at the house. "Looks like she went easy on Luke this year" I state getting out and Finn follows.
"Easy, love you have a waving Santa drinking a martini on the roof and enough lights to be seen from space" he says shocked.
"I know I know the signing elf is missing kid, and the sleigh of hobos too but Luke ran it over and the elf broke when he refused to change songs. The damn thing was playing jingle bells over and over again" Mom says walking out of the house. Finn just looks at me and then back at Mom who is covered in red and green with gold glitter hat that says Santa's naughty elf on it.
"Mom, it only plays jingle bells" I laugh hugging her.
"Oh, that explains so much and now I feel bad about the bat to its head and…no fair you're tan and I'm still carry baby weight" she complains looking me over.
"What baby weight" Finn says and we look at him.
"Oh you better keep this one kid, flattery will get you everything" she laughs.
"Finn, my crazy and somewhat delusional mother Lorelai Gilmore" I say and she hugs him.
"Okay, Mommy is cold, inside now" she says pulling us both inside.
"Mom, what the hell did you do" I say looking at the gold glitter on the floor by the fireplace after removing our coats.
"It was the glitter I tell you it was possessed" she says and I look at Finn. He looks afraid for his life.
"No, your mother is just crazy and decided that you needed a hat too and thought that she would just make you one instead of getting it out of the top closet where she forgot she put it" Luke says walking in with Will and a matching hat for me. I place it on my head and model it. Finn laughs at me craziness.
"Finn, Luke the savior of all things Gilmore, the maker of the elixir of life for years, my step dad" I state and Luke looks at me.
"Don't instigate your mother?" he warns me and I stick my tongue out at him.
"Nice to meet you sir" Finn says and Mom bursts out laughing.
"Mother, be nice" I scold her.
"Sorry, kid but sir and Luke should never be in the same sentence it's just too funny" she giggles and Luke looks at me.
"Hey don't look at me, I had no choice. You did but you married her anyways" I say stealing Will from him and walking back into the kitchen.
"Finn" I yell and he follows.
"I think you're mother lost it, love" he says glancing back to the living room.
"Nope, she's quite behaved. She's probably low in coffee consumption. She'll be at par later" I state and he looks at me.
"Hey exotic one, come help" Mom yells and I look at Finn smiling.
"That's you, but be warned she could want anything" I state and he shakes his head before going inside. I pour a cup of coffee before looking at Will.
"Mommy is still crazy, uh Will" I say drinking the coffee and spitting it out quickly.
"Ahh" I yell dropping the cup and it shatters on the floor. Everyone comes running into the kitchen.
"My mug" Mom cries looking at the floor and the small pieces everywhere.
"Your mug, I think I've been poisoned and all you care about is the mug. Thanks mother really see what your priorities are" I say holding throat.
"They're a bit dramatic" Luke says to Finn and we look at them.
"What the hell is wrong with that? You're willing to risk your life in this house?" I demand pointing to the cup.
"Nothing is wrong with it, it's you and that fancy coffee you consume, this is real coffee kid" Mom says grabbing another mug and filling it before drinking it and dropping the coffee pot and mug to the floor.
"I think I'm dying kid" Mom says leaning on me.
"Oh and it was me right?" I state sarcastically to her and she hits my arm.
"Destroyer of coffee" she claims pointing at Luke. Finn looks afraid as Mom grabs the spatula to hit Luke with it.
"What did you do Danes" I state and Finn looks between us.
"You two drink too much coffee" he defends himself.
"I agree" Finn says and Mom looks at him.
"Correction, drop the Aussie on his sexy ass and find a real man, what about that hot one from the tour with the body of a God" she says and Finn steps back.
"Mom" I say stealing the spatula and hitting her with it. Of course she would bring up Tristan. She loved Tristan. He left society, started his own like and sent her coffee from every state we stopped in. I thought at one point she was going to adopt him as her own.
"It's unhealthy for you" Finn says defending himself and we laugh.
"Like all the alcohol isn't" I counter him and he looks at me.
"If I drink as much bloody alcohol as you did coffee in one day, I would be bloody died" he states.
"Okay that's only one strike Aussie Man, but rule number one in the Gilmore girl handbook is never deny a Gilmore girl of the elixir of life because it could cost you your life" Mom states crossing her arms.
"And never change it to decaf, it's not the same and it will cost you" I add and Finn laughs.
"You're joking right" he questions.
"Unfortunately, they're not" Luke says grabbing a broom from the closet. "We get clean up now" he says handing Finn the dustpan.
"Sure you know how to use that Morgan" I smirk.
"Yes, love occasionally Mama did make us clean up ourselves" he states.
"Good, we'll be a Luke's getting the good stuff when you're done and I want pancakes and bacon Luke and don't try slipping fruit on the plate this time" I say kissing Finn's cheek as Mom and me leave with Will.
Finn POV
"Never try to understand them and they're worse together" Luke says as he sweeps up the glass.
"She's never this carefree, sure in Australia, but that was like vacation to her. I love this side of her" I say smiling and he nods. Rory is so Rory here.
"Lorelai and Rory have a strange twisted relationship that many don't understand" he says and I nod. Rory told me as much. Even Logan didn't understand it. "They're more than mother and daughter Finn, best friends" he says as I help clean up.
"I know Rory was a mess when they weren't talking in Yale. I remember" I say and he looks at me.
"That's right Lor said you know Logan" he says his hatred for Huntzberger coming out.
"I would never stand between them, Luke. Lorelai means too much to her" I say and he nod understanding my attentions with her.
"Rory is like a daughter to me Finn; I almost killed the last three boyfriends she had not to mention that idiot from the tour. You seem true in your feelings and Lorelai said she's happy. Keep it that way and we won't have a problem" he states seriously as he trashes the rest of the glass.
"Duly noted" I state as we head out and I see all the cars there. "It's three blocks, they walked. It's the only exercise they get" Luke states walking towards town. I smirk while walking, thinking of all the sex we had over the past week and that was so exercise.
"Caesar, I don't give a flying monkey uncle what Luke said give me that damn pot now" we hear Rory yell as we enter the diner. I thought it was hardware store, but I was wrong.
"No" the short man says.
"Caesar, I'm not my mother, I will come back there and get it if you don't give it up willing" Rory demands and I smirk. Gilmore desires are something you don't toy with. I try not to laugh and Luke looks amused.
"Luke says no one gets it, Rory" he responds.
"I will hunt you down Caesar and castrate you if you don't give it to me now" her voice booms in the diner. He only takes a step back. "Oh for the love of Pete" Rory says getting off the stool and flipping the counter up and walking behind it for the pot. She pours her cup and smirks at Caesar.
"Luke I swear, I told her no" Caesar says spotting us.
"Rory" Luke says.
"Oh don't you start with me destroyer, Caesar was hiding the real stuff from Mom but she's upstairs changing Will and I need the real stuff and I need it now. You don't want to see me off the coffee it's not pretty" Rory states.
"Addict, I tell you" Luke says shaking his head and walking to the counter. "Out" he orders her and she does but takes the pot with her.
"Hey Finny" she says kissing my cheek and sitting down at a table.
"Love, we might have to get you some help" I state sitting next to her and she looks at me after downing another mug.
"Whatever for, I'm perfectly fine as long as no one withholds the nectar of the gods from me" she says.
"You know if you were talking about drugs or alcohol, people would throw you into rehab for this addiction or a 12 step program" I say and she laughs.
"Will they call it CAA?" she smirks at me. I have a feeling she's up to something.
"Or maybe CAFP" she says and Lorelai laughs from behind me. "We could be president and vice president" she adds pointing to herself and then Rory.
"I want to be president" Rory says excitedly.
"No way young one, I have been drinking it longer" Lorelai states.
"But, you taught me, and I drink more daily than you and who drank twice as much while you were pregnant because you couldn't and who snuck you cups when Luke wasn't looking. That alone make me president" Rory says fast and shake my head.
"I'm prettier" Lorelai says.
"I'm smarter" Rory counters. They continue bantering like I'm not even sitting there.
"CAA talk again" Luke questions setting down pancakes, bacon, sausage and what seems everything else from the breakfast menu when its 1pm, I just nod and watch the two of them bicker.
"Food" Rory says grabbing bacon. "Finn, what are you eating" she questions after finishing her mouthful of pancakes.
"Probably whatever the two of you don't bite off his hands for" Luke jokes and Lorelai threw a muffin at him.
"Finn, whatever you want is yours" she says and I look at Rory. "Gutter mind and you already had plenty of that" Lorelai says and we laugh. "Oh Lor, come on" Luke complains.
"Here try this" Rory says holding out a fork with pancakes on it.
"What is he one and can't feed himself now" Lorelai questions laughing at us.
"Shut it mother" Rory says as I lean over for the food.
"It takes like a pancake covered candy bar" I say as the sweet pancakes goes down.
"Yep, Gilmore specialty" she smiles.
"Are you sure you don't have rotten teeth in there, love?" I question. If she eats like this all the time, how are her teeth so perfect?
"All white and cavity free Finny" she says smiling at me.
"Don't try to understand that either" Luke says joining us.
We spent the rest of the day walking through town and seeing everyone. Sookie made us eat at the Inn and I was already stuffed from the diner. But not Rory, she just ate and ate. I knew she could eat more than normal girls, but seeing her today in her element was something else. Sookie sent us home with three boxes of goodies for Rory's freezer and I now understand why she doesn't starve. Between Luke and Sookie, she can feed a small country for the month with all that food we had to take home. I met Lane officially again. The last time was at Rory's 21st birthday. Her boys are adorable and loved having their Auntie Rory there. I realized that this town is such a part of who she is. Just like Australia is for me. It's something Logan never understood. I understand now why there was always a standstill in their relationship. She's not society Rory here. She's carefree and more herself than when in Hartford, there's no one to impress here. Everyone knows everyone and they all treat her like the town princess, which she was twice for the ice cream parade when she was younger. A guy Kirk kept trying to sell us hand warmers on a stick or offer his services to deice the car. It felt like he was following us around town all day. I was violated by a feisty redhead Miss Patty that Rory thought was too funny until I picked her up and dropped her into the snow pile. That started a snowball war, forget about fight. It was like a town event that stirred up. So much for her having bad aim, my head is still throbbing from the one she hit me with in the back of the head. Babette told me all about the love of her two gnomes and how they want to have kids but can't so she bought two little gnomes for them to have. The woman is slightly off her rocker.
"So, what did you think Finn" she questions driving back to the city that night. Lorelai wanted us to stay, but we have to work Monday and Rory said she'll see her soon.
"It was quite unusual love, I'm not going to lie" I state.
"Too unusual to keep you from coming back?" she questions and I intertwine my hand with hers.
"Sign me up for the next adventure in Crazy town love, maybe we should charge admissions for it though" I state and she smiles at me.
"Thank you" she says and I look at her. "For not thinking I was crazy or mental. For accepting Stars Hollow for what it is instead of judging it" she continues and I realize that is exactly what Logan did.
"It's a part of you and I love you. To accept you for you, means accepting Stars Hollow and everyone there too" I say and she pulls over to the rest stop pulling the car to the deserted area in the back.
"Urge to pee kitten" I question, she acting odd.
"No" she says parking the car and pushing her sit back.
"Then" I question.
"Rest stops aren't only for bathroom breaks Finn, especially at this time of night" she says reaching down between the seats and push mine back too.
"Love" I say shocked at what she's suggesting but loving it.
"Half the adventure is trying not to get caught" she smirks climbing over and straddling me.
"And getting caught is half the fun" I smirk before pulling her down kissing her passionately.
