A/N: I promise I am still going to be writing my other story but I had to
start getting this one out of my head.
Disclaimer: I do not have anything to do with Gilmore girls nor do I own the characters on that show.
Everything was perfect. There were candles, a home cooked meal, wine and two people very much in love. The meal was almost over when his expression grew very serious. "There's something I have to tell you before we go meet your mother," he said in a shaky voice.
Her blue eyes studied him intently. She wondered if it was bad news. Everything between them always seemed so perfect that she was always expecting something to go wrong. In had been her experience that the better the relationship, the worse the ending. Taking a deep breath, she finally managed to respond. "What's wrong?"
He smiled. All his nervousness disappeared when he saw how concerned she had immediately become. "I wanted to tell you how much I love you. I love absolutely everything about you."
She smiled, relieved that her fragile world wasn't breaking just yet. "I love you too." Smiling, she leaned over the table and kissed him.
"Rory, there's just one more thing. Will you marry me?" He reached into his pocket and produced a ring box. She looked from him to the diamond ring. "Oh my god..." She hadn't been expecting this. Could she marry him? Could their lives really stay like this forever? He was so.. so .. sophisticated. He was grounded and reliable. She couldn't really understand why he loved her.
She looked into his expectant eyes. "Yes..yes I'll marry you." There was no jumping or yelling as one would expect from a Gilmore. There was just a romantic kiss and then they left to meet Lorelai and Luke.
As the bell on the door jingled, the newly formed couple that had given in to a kiss over the diner counter jumped apart. "People eat there you know." Rory scolded the pair.
Lorelai jumped up from the counter and ran to her daughter. "Rory I missed you so much."
Rory laughed. "Mom, it's been less than a week. Anyway, I'm sure you've been spending too much time with Luke to even think of me."
"Never!" As Lorelai exclaimed this in mock horror, she noticed something sparkling on her daughter. "Oh my god!!! Rory!!! WHAT IS THAT?!"
She glanced at her fiancé and sighed. "Well Mom, Luke, we were going to wait until greetings were over before announcing it bus since Sherlock over here saw it, we're-"
"GETTING MARRIED!" Lorelai screamed.
Rory laughed and nodded. Lorelai, unable to contain herself, turned to Luke. "RORY'S GETTING MARRIED!" Luke smiled. "Yes Lorelai, I heard you the first time. Congratulation guys." The couple smiled in response.
As if on cue, the bell jingled again. Seeing Luke's face light up everyone turned to see who it was. In a barely audible voice, Rory whispered, "Jess."
Luke examined him. Jess had written him a letter a year earlier that actually began a decent relationship between the two. Jess had grown a little and matured a little but in many ways he appeared unchanged. Luke approached him and the two hugged. When the hug ended, Jess turned to the three onlookers. His attention immediately locked on Rory and the strange expression she had on. "You're not going to say hi?"
