Christmas in Connecticut

One-shot: Christmas in Connecticut

Dear awesome readers, as a little thank you for the last months and your nice feedbacks, I thought as a present for you I would write several Christmas one-shots with different pairings and I hope you will enjoy them. I also started the #GilmoreGirlsChristmasChallenge and I hope other authors also join and write Christmas one-shots. You will find all the stories on FB, following the hashtag or in my reading list on Wattpad (named like the hashtag. I already added some awesome stories).

I named all my one shots after famous Christmas movies, because I love watching cheesy movies in December. Merry Christmas, ClaudiaCleland

Disclaimer: Most characters, settings and some dialogues are property of the creators of Gilmore Girls (GG). Some quotes are from famous movies and poems. This story is not written to make money. I own nothing, just borrowing a bit for this fanfiction and adding my own ideas. I am not a native English speaker and I will try to do my best and have the best beta who helps me (thanks again for that Linda).

I thought as a Christmas present for myself I would write my first Logan and Rory story.

One-shot

T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

It is Christmas Eve, the night before Christmas and Rory is reading her favorite Christmas poems while thinking about her life since New Haven. She enjoyed working on the Obama campaign, but the nights were filled with many nightmares. She never dreamed about monsters before she declined Logan's proposal. Every day she awoke feeling lonelier than the day before. She knew she had to say no to his proposal to experience the world of journalism without the Huntzberger name, however in the past few months the nightmares increased. At first, she dreamt only once about breaking Logan's heart, but now it seems that she is having that dream every night.

In addition, she now recognized that her dream of being a second Christiane Amanpour wasn't exactly the goal she desired anymore. Living and traveling with the Gilmores she learned to enjoy the creature comforts of first rate hotels. She did not enjoy staying at the second-rate hotels with lumpy beds and moldy showers that the reporters were placed at. She hated sleeping in so many different and disgusting beds. She now realized that being a second Christiane Amanpour was not as glamorous and this type of job would lead to many uncomfortable situations. She missed her cozy bed and the familiarity of New Haven and Stars Hollow. She honored her contract and now she started to search for new employment. She surprised herself in applying for jobs on the west coast instead of the east coast. So far, she had only sent two applications, to the Chronicle and the San Francisco Bay Guardian.

Palo Alto didn't have a large newspaper, but she couldn't stop the feeling of being drawn there. Her dreams lately were haunted with Logan's smirk and his chocolate brown eyes. Why did she let him go? She avoided eating guacamole, because it reminded her of the house he had rented for them with the avocado tree in the back yard. She wondered if he was still out in California, could he be living in that house?

Sitting there, feeling sad and lonely, she decides that she should fight to get him back. He had respected her wishes and never called her again. If she wanted him back that means, it's her turn to take a risk.

She knows that Logan will be in Connecticut for Christmas, she remembered that his family always had a large Christmas celebration that he was required to attend. Though he never was close to his family, but on Christmas Finn always hosts a Christmas Party for all the young society members that survived the stressful family dinners. Finn's family always escapes to an island far away and Finn always chooses to remain in Hartford so that he can celebrate in his own style with his friends.
