Rory lay absolutely still in the bed in their hotel room. The warm morning sunshine was streaming through the window and she could feel it heating up her face. Carefully, she opened one eye very very slowly, not really daring to move her head too far off the pillow, as she remembered how much alcohol she had consumed the night before and she was pretty afraid of how much it was going to hurt. She lifted it gently and looked around the room.

"Ow," she said before putting her head back down on the pillow.

"Sore head Ace?" Logan laughed as he placed two aspirin and a large glass of water by the side of the bed.

She let out an audible groan. "What time is it?"

"It's just coming up to 9 am, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but we've got a brunch date with the guys at 10 am so you're going to need to get moving".

"Nooooo," Rory said as she pulled the pillow over her head "I'm too tired and I'm too sleepy. Need coffee" she grumbled.

"Don't worry, I'll get you coffee Ace, but I can't do anything about the tired and sleepy, you brought that all on yourself madam."

Rory pulled her head out from under the pillow. "I did?" she said as she looked at Logan suspiciously.

"Sure. You seemed to just find me so wildly irresistible last night, you couldn't keep your hands to yourself" he smirked.

Rory's memories of the night before were pretty hazy, but she knew that it had involved a whole lot of alcohol and a fair amount of intense sexual activity. They had both been incredibly turned on after all the playing around and teasing at the club and it had resulted in some of the hottest sex they had ever had.

"Oh. Right. Yeah." Rory said as she remembered what had happened when they had returned to the hotel. "Well, I've got to say, from what I can recall, it was worth the eye bags I will be carrying around with me today."

"And what's this?" Logan said holding up a piece of paper "I can't believe you actually took that guy's phone number." He said pretending to be hurt.

"I thought it might come in useful, you know, in case we don't work out" she laughed as she threw the pillow at him.

Logan jumped down on the bed and leant over to kiss her. "No chance of that," he said. "Last night was nothing short of amazing Ace" he whispered into her ear. "I hope we get to do a rerun sometime."

"It was pretty good" she agreed as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her, before pressing her lips to his and deepening the kiss with her tongue.

"Ace…" Logan said as he started to pull away from her. "As much as I'd like to continue last night's festivities, and believe me, I would REALLY like to continue last night's fun, we've got less than one hour until we have to meet the guys…so go have your shower."

"You're so bossy" Rory pouted. "Okay, I'm going," she said as she threw her legs over the side of the bed. "But only on one condition," she said as she looked back over at her shoulder at him.

"Oh yeah, what's that?"

"You have to come with me," she said suggestively.

That was an offer Logan could not refuse.

Just over an hour and a half later, they finally made it out of their hotel room and managed to meet and their friends for brunch. It was a searing hot August day in New York City and Rory was glad that she had packed an ultra-light cotton sundress to help keep her cool and more importantly, she was wearing her very dark oversized Chanel sunglasses – her eyes were so not ready for the daylight.

"Ah, here they are, the lovely couple" Finn announced as they walked into the bar "You're late."

"I know, I know. Rory is a bit hungover this morning and I had to help get her into the shower" he winked at her and traced his fingers along the back of her neck.

Rory blushed and felt a shiver down her spine. The mindblowing orgasm that he had just given her with those fingers was still very fresh in her mind. One thing was for sure it had certainly taken her mind of her hangover.

"Okay, we so do not need to know," Rosemary said, putting her hands over her ears.

"Where did you two kids get to last night anyhow?" Finn teased. "One minute Rory is playing around with some fella, no doubt sending him away with completely blue balls. Next thing you two are practically going at it on the dance floor and then boom, you're nowhere to be seen."

"I think you can probably use your imagination Finn," Colin said, deadpan.

Rory twiddled with hair. "Oh we had to go, something came up…" she said not quite making eye contact.

"I bet it did," Finn said suggestively and Rory rolled her eyes. "Did you have fun playing your kinky games last night?" he asked. "Got to say, Gilmore, I did not know you had it in you."

Rory blushed once again. She was far less confident without the Dutch courage but thankfully Juliet stepped in to rescue her.

"Don't mind him, he's just jealous"

"That's damn right love, I am. Logan, I've said it before but I'll say it again, you're one lucky son of a bitch." Finn shook his head.

"I know I am," he said as he put his arm around Rory and kissed her more passionately than was decent for a Sunday brunch.

"Oh god, would you ever just get a room you two" Steph said as she threw her napkin at them.

"We already have one" Logan smirked, "And it got put to excellent use last night".

"Okay, okay," Rory said as she waved her hand "Can we please just talk about something other than our sex life for once? Or at least order some food, I'm starving!"

Rory felt a fair bit brighter after their brunch and decided to make the most of their time in New York. She was going to try and push through her hangover and get a few wedding things sorted while she was there. There were only a couple of weeks left to go before the big day and she was becoming more and more conscious that she needed to start ticking off the things to do list as soon as possible.

Logan offered to go with her but he was secretly pleased when she said she was happy to go on her own as he had something he wanted to do too, so they said a quick goodbye and went their separate ways for a few hours.

First on Rory's list were the dresses for Lily and Fifi. She had decided that the girls really were too little to embrace being flower girls - it was a lot to expect them to behave and conform – but she still wanted them to have beautiful dresses, especially now that they were both up and on their feet.

Last time she had been in the city, she had popped into Bergdorfs and had seen the most perfect dresses, so she headed straight there to go and pick them up. She hadn't bought them when she was there the last time as her mother was with her and Lorelai had talked her out of it, telling her that spending $400 on a dress for a child that was only eighteen months was complete lunacy. Rory kind of agreed - it was lunacy but Shira had kindly offered to buy the dresses for her granddaughters and therefore money really wasn't a consideration.

Honor and Rory had both thought that with the girls being so close in age it would be so precious for them to wear matching dresses. The dress that Rory had picked out for the girls was an ivory and gold floral dress. It oozed pure luxury with embossed flowers embroidered onto the bodice, a soft chiffon sash bow to the back and a full feminine skirt boasted layers of soft tulle. She picked up two pairs of ivory ballet pumps to go with them.

Meanwhile, Logan was across town on a mission of his own – he was out shopping for a present for Rory. He wanted to give her something special on their wedding day, something she could keep forever. As he really wanted her to be able to wear it at their wedding, he had taken Steph shopping with him as she had seen Rory's wedding dress and would know what matched well.

Being reassured by Steph that the necklace would work well with her gown, Logan settled on the 'Sunflower by Harry Winston' diamond necklace. He listened as the overly flirtatious sales assistant told him how the Sunflower Collection was inspired by the beauty of nature and featured a cluster, where the diamonds are set with minimal metal to maximize the light returned. It had thirty-one round brilliant diamonds, and despite it's $40,000 price tag it was pretty versatile and wearable piece that would transition well from day to night. He made his purchase, said his goodbyes to Steph and headed off to meet Rory to head back to Hartford.

When they returned home, Lily was so excited to see her mommy and daddy she was practically bouncing off the walls. As it was such a beautiful sunny evening Logan thought it would be nice to Lily to the park for a play before bedtime. Rory had intentions to do some studying but decided to go along with them.

At the park, Lily sat happily on the grass playing with a new ball that Marta must have picked up over the weekend. Logan and Rory sat on the bench nearby just watching her play and chatter to herself. Rory feeling quite contented lay back with her head on Logan's lap and he gently played with her hair. It felt like a pretty perfect moment, the type Rory wished she could capture and hold on to forever. As she sat there completely relaxed and at easy with the man that she loved with all her heart, watching their beautiful daughter playing in the sunshine, she really didn't think that it was possible that she would ever be happier than in this moment.

"What are you smiling at?" Logan asked when he looked down at her.

Logan had been watching Rory for a while, she was obviously off somewhere deep in her own thoughts and he wondered just what was going on in that head of hers.

"What?" Rory said as Logan pulled her out of her thoughts.

"You were just smiling to yourself"

"Oh. I'm just happy" she sighed.

"About?" Logan questioned.

"Everything, all of this. It's just perfect isn't it, and she's so perfect." Rory said as she looked over at her daughter. "I love our life together"

"Me too," Logan said as he leant down to give her a gentle kiss on the head. "And you are right she is pretty damn perfect, we're very lucky parents indeed."

Rory took a deep breath, there was something she wanted to say to Logan but she didn't really know how to broach the subject.

"Logan…you know when we spoke about having more children…" she paused and Logan jumped in.

"Rory" Logan shook his head "It's fine, we don't need to go over that again" he smiled.

"I know, but I…"

"Honestly, we talked about it enough. I overreacted but I completely understand your reasons. To be honest, it was a bit crazy of me to suggest it, you were right, it's not the right time."

"Really?" Rory looked at him questioningly.

"Yeah" Logan smiled "We'll know when it's the right time Ace," he said as he gave her a squeeze.
