(It took them a little over ten minutes to walk back to house. What they found once they got back inside warmed Finn's heart and just made Steve smirk. Rory had finally fallen asleep with her favorite episode of Kitchen's Nightmares on in the background. She looked at peace for the first time in months, so Finn walked over and gently woke her up with a kiss. She jumped a little bit at the interaction but calmed instantly when she saw who it was. Steve just grabbed the mugs and headed to kitchen to make them all more cider)

(with a hint of sleep in her voice) "You came back."-Rory

"Of course I did baby. Did you honestly think that I wouldn't?'-Finn

"Kind of. Finn, I'm sorry."-Rory

"I think you and I have been apologizing a bit too much as of late. Don't you think it is time that we started taking the proper steps to move past this?"-Finn

"Can we do that and still be in love by the time we are done healing?"-Rory

"Rory, our love has been through your rape, a miscarriage, fights with parents, friends, losing jobs, moving, breaking up once in college, your grandparents, money issues, and a multitude of other events that aren't important at the moment. If we can handle that fateful night and my drinking problem we can handle anything together."-Finn

(she does the only thing that she can think of and grabs him in a hug, an action that she hadn't done in a few weeks. He just relished in the feel of her warmth as well as love and for the first time in months he has hopes that they truly are going to find a way to fix what was broken between them. While the hug was going on Steve quietly walked back into his living room, set the mugs on the table once more and grabbed the remote.)

"So, who thinks that it is about damn time for some light hearted fun and much needed laughter after this exhausting evening?"-Steve

(the couple just looks at him with identical smiles on their faces)

(with a hint of laughter in his voice) "Steve, it's three in the morning. Don't you think that it's time for the two of us to get out of your hair and head home?"-Finn

"Not after the hell we just went through with those conversations. The three of us have more than earned a night as well as an early morning filled with good comedy movies, as well as Kitchen Nightmares. How about it?"-Steve

"You know, you are right. Let's indulge."-Rory

(the three of them spent the rest of the evening/morning relaxing, sipping cider, laughing with one another. They each felt like a weight had been lifted from their shoulders after the full story had been told and promises were about to be full filled. Around 11:30 the next morning, Steve heard Finn's phone go off, so he quickly picked it up and went to the other room)

"Hello."-Steve

"Hey, what are you doing answering Finn's phone. Shit did he get wasted last night and Rory finally kicked him out?"-Logan

(kind of laughs) "No, it's a long story but Rory came over for a talk, which led to her finally telling Finn the full story her attack which led to other much needed discussions. When everything was said and done I figured that they could use something to relax them so the two just stayed the night watching movies. Anyway, he's late for a photo shoot isn't he and that's why your calling?"-Steve

"Who cares about work at the moment, how are they doing?"-Logan

"Honestly, I think that they covered a lot of ground and once they enter treatment and finish that phase, their relationship will be on a much better path than it was before. There is hope for them yet, Logan."-Steve

"That's good to hear. The two of them have been through hell and back again but they can handle it and it will be great once they do get better. When is he going to treatment anyway?"-Logan

"October 3rd. Why?"-Steve

"I thought that he wanted to propose before he went in. That way Rory knew once and for all the true commitment and love that he has for her."-Logan

"I'm glad you brought that up actually. He still wants to do it and he was planning on the date of that event occurring on September 23rd. He also wants our help to pull it off. The location he wants to do is partly at her work but their favorite location of the Bean in the city."-Steve

"How he is going to pull that off?"-Logan

"It's Finn he will find out a way to do it. Let me go wake them up that way he won't miss the shoot for his clients altogether. I'll see you shortly."-Steve

"Alright, bye."-Logan

"Bye."-Steve

(he hangs up, then heads out to the living room where Finn and Rory had finally fallen asleep leaning on one another for pillows. He gently wakes them up and they head back to their house to get ready. Steve does the same and heads over to the photo studio that Finn and Logan own.)

"She has no idea that the two of them are the clients does she?"-Logan

(laughing) "None, which makes it even better to be honest. She really is photogenic. Actually they both are."-Steve

"Do you think they will dress up for it?"-Logan

"You know they will. He will tell her in a round about way but not give away the surprise."-Logan

*Back at the House*

"You almost ready baby?"-Finn

"Just putting the finishing touches on the make up. I wish you would just tell me what the surprise was honey. You spoiled me a lot yesterday evening before that conversation."-Rory

(he was already dressed in a suit with an orange button up shirt, black tie, and a nice suit. She had decided to wear an a fall colored orange shirt to match Finn, that was slightly form fitting in all the right places with a pair of black heals and her hair was styled in a side bun with a few pieces here and there that were curled)

"I know but after another stressful end to a day I figured that we could spend a day, a proper day together. Full of fun and love from beginning to end. What do you say?"-Finn

"I say I'm sold let's go."-Rory

(they left the house about five minutes after grabbing some coffee for him and chai tea for her. The two of them made it to the studio in record time.)

"Well it is about damn time."-Logan

(the three of them just laugh, Steve was still in the back getting a few things set up for the shoot.)

"Where are the clients, Logan? I thought that's why Finn was in such a hurry to get here."-Rory

"You two are the clients. This is the first part of the surprises for the day. You two always take pictures of everyone's else's love story or other events but rarely of each other. So, I thought that I would help out Steve direct him with certain poses but let him be the creative mind for the rest of them. Should we get started?"-Logan

(before they do she gives Finn a quick kiss for once again being so thoughtful)
