*I know it may seem a bit odd for me to suddenly mention that Rory is a Hayden as well and may add even more confusion for why the two of them have had money issues to begin with. It will be slightly explained later in this very chapter.*
(The two finally left the house around one in the afternoon and headed to their favorite park)
"So Miss Hayden?"-Steve
"You know, I was thinking that maybe I could just become Mrs. Gilmore-."-Rory
"You aren't going to take my last name at all?"-Steve (sounding a little hurt)
(walks up to him and quickly kisses his lips before getting back into the fountains to pose)
"Baby of course I will be taking your last name, but just adding it to the Gilmore part."-Rory
"What about the Hayden aspect of your life though?"-Steve
"I am not ignoring it for that matter but considering that my trust doesn't kick in for another three years what would be the point of adding to the names at that point of the marriage? If that made any sense at all."-Rory
"You need to look a bit more serious, and bend your back a little bit more, so your body looks arched. (she fixes the things he asks for). Perfect. Anyway, yes it did make sense but don't you think that your grandparents will be a bit offended?"-Steve
"I'm sure that they will but honestly at this point I really don't care about how they feel."-Rory
(gets in the fountains with her to adjust her to the position that looks the best, then gets back out)
"Are you sure?"-Steve
"Of course, I am sure. On a side note though baby, I figured that mom and Luke could visit us after this shoot if that is okay with you?"-Rory
"Does she know about us? The house?"-Steve
"She knows that we are back together, she ran into Finn a few weeks back and he accidentally let it slip that you and I were attempting to be an us once more."-Rory
"Let me guess, she said I told you so until she was blue in the face right?"-Steve
"Actually she didn't. She called to confirm Finn's story, and once she heard it from me, along with the explanation and the fact that you fought for me unlike him, she was happy for me and asked when she could visit the two of us. And I told her this week would be fine."-Rory
"Sounds like a plan to me."-Steve
(they took about three dozen more shots in the fountains with many different poses. Then head to other places in their park to capture different backgrounds, as well as her beauty. Around two o'clock in the afternoon they finish up then head back to their house to change into their lunch clothes and headed to a café where they were meeting Lorelai and Luke)
*At the Café*
"Hey, Steve. How are you doing?"-Lorelai
"I'm fine, how about you?"-Steve
"The same I guess. Where is our girl?"-Lorelai
"She wanted to park the car, then she should be coming in. Before she does though can I just say a few things and get them out of the way, so our lunch can be enjoyable instead of an awkward situation?"-Steve
(sighs) "I guess."-Lorelai
"I do love your daughter, through thick and thin. Even when I shouldn't have loved her I cared, wanted to fight for her, but she didn't want to leave Finn in the condition that he was in which I more than understand. But, anyway she is really the best thing that has happened to me in a rather long time. I would be lost without her."-Steve
(puts her hand up to stop his rambling) " Steve, I never once in the time that I have known that the two of you were back together have said I told you so. I am happy that the two of you were able to find each other once more. Just don't hurt her, or I will personally kick your ass."-Lorelai
"I promise that I won't, in any way cause her anymore harm than she has already endured in her past relationships."-Steve
"I agree with what my wife says as well. However, I will add that if you need advice for anything, how to purpose, sort out the house etc just give me a call?"-Luke
"Thanks, Luke that means a lot."-Steve
(Rory finally walks in, looking a bit upset but instantly relaxes when she sees her boyfriend, as well as her mom and Luke sitting together and getting along flawlessly)
"Finally, what took you so long fruit of my loins?"-Lorelai
"Sorry, got a phone call about Flawless, then Logan called in so I had to sort through those things quickly."-Rory
"What's going on with the studio?"-Lorelai
(she had been there a few times and instantly fallen in love with it, actually she regularly recommended to her guests at the Dragon Fly to get their couple or family photos taken there, which the four of them were rather grateful for, however there was one couple that was being a tad bit difficult about things.)
"When is the wedding for that couple anyway?"-Luke
"Not soon enough."-Rory
(the four of them pause their conversation so they can place their order for coffee as well as food, then resume as soon as the waitress leaves)
"But the actual date of it is July 15."-Steve
"So about a month and a half away, then. Not to bad"-Lorelai
"No it isn't, however she is being the pickiest and most indecisive brides we have met yet. We aren't doing the actual wedding days photos we just can't fit it in this time around even with Finn on staff once more. We have told her this countless times, and she says she is okay with it, she just wants us to the pre-wedding photos, she will schedule, then keeps cancelling mere days after booking the appointment. What do you think we should do?"-Rory
"Well if that was a guests at the Inn they would have the chance to do that twice but then we would potiely explain that due to the constant cancelling we are going to have to take other guests at moment and when they know for certain what they are looking for to kindly call back and we will consider putting them back in the books."-Lorelai
"That sounds rather professional and logical."-Steve
"She can be that way on occasion."-Luke
(the table laughs, and continues to converse about the photo shoots, life in Stars Hollow, as well as the grandparents. They ended the lunch around 6:00 in the evening but not without scheduling a movie night for next weekend at their new house.)
*Back at Steve and Rory's place*
"Well that went rather well, don't you think?"-Rory
(while getting changed) "Yes, I do actually."-Steve
"They do the usual you hurt her I beat the crap out of you speech while I was in the car?"-Rory
(laughs, then walks over and kisses her gently on the lips before heading to the bathroom to wash his face and get ready for their evening in)
"You know your mom and Luke."-Steve
"They mean well, honey. They just want to make sure that you treat me right and don't pull another Finn is all."-Rory
"I know, and I told them that I won't. I have no intention. In fact it is just the opposite."-Steve
(looks at him with confusion then understanding) "Steven, I am flattered that you want to take that step it seems only logical which is one of the reasons I fell for you to begin with however, I don't think that now is the best time to be walking down the aisle. Do you?"-Rory
