30 Life Support

November 25, 2011

Friday morning, Finn woke up first and looked at his beautiful fiancée lying beside him. He gently stroked her arm as she lay sleeping with her head on his chest. He loved waking up each morning with her in his arms like this. Until Rory he never would let anyone sleep in his bed, he would never bring them back to his personal bedroom and he would make them leave his hotel room soon after they had sex. But with Rory, he wasn't complete unless she was in his arms and now he couldn't wait until they were married. He never could understand how his brother and Mia could be apart for any length of time. He was glad that Rory wanted to get married soon and now, knowing that they will be having the baby, it was an added bonus.

Smiling down at his sleeping fiancée he started to think ahead, making plans for their future. What a difference a year made in both of their lives. He was so grateful that his father and brother saved him from the rabbit hole that Logan was taking him down, and now at 28 he was mentally, emotionally and financially ready to start a family. He always saw himself as father of three or more children and he hoped that Rory would agree to have more than one child. Funny they never talked about this before, but he knew she would be an amazing mother. Kissing her on the forehead he looked over at the nightstand, by their bed. Lorelai had set out a dish of peppermint candies and some saltine crackers for her daughter.

Lorelai was proving to be a strong ally. At first he was afraid that she would not like him, when he had met her before he was either drunk or partially drunk. Being a close friend of Logan's didn't win him any points either. However, he charmed her with his quick wit, humor and the love he showed her daughter. Lorelai knew her daughter was happy and in love with him and excepted him as soon as she saw how well he treated her. Last night she pulled him aside and asked him how she was feeling. He confessed that she had been getting sick in the morning and that it started the day after their engagement announcement , and that was the reason for missing the engagement party. At first they both thought it was the flu but when Rory went to the doctor, she told her it wasn't the flu and she was pregnant.

Smiling Lorelai handed him the dish of peppermint and the crackers and told him to have her suck on one before she got out of bed, and it will help her.

Rory slowly opened up her eyes and looked up at her handsome fiancé. "Hi, have you been awake long?" she asked him as she snuggled closer into his chest and slowly began to run her fingers through the fine hair on his chest.

"Mmmm, not very. Hey how are you feeling?"

"Ok, why?"

"Your mom suggested that before you get up you should suck on one of these peppermint candies."

"Oh, ok. Are they the chocolate ones?"

"I'm not sure, let me check. No, love, they are the red and white hard candies. Would you still like to try one before you get up?" He reached over and unwrapped the candy for her. She popped it into her mouth and proceeded to caress his stomach and slowly slipped her hand under the boxers he was wearing and began to fondle him.

Groaning he quickly removed his shorts and began to kiss her neck. He slowly kissed her breast and then moved down to her stomach. He stopped and gently kissed it. Looking up at her he said, "We have something growing in here."

Giggling she said, "I know, it seems so surreal."

"I know," he looked at her lovingly and kissed her flat stomach again. He began to move back up to her lips, slowly licking her lips he said, Mmmmm, I like the flavor of peppermint."
