Jess and his siblings move to Stars Hollow after Liz dies. ooc Rory is best friends with Tristan and plays hockey. Lit.

Jess woke up in a hospital bed drowsy and dizzy, he felt the small heater next to him that he recognised as his 6 year old sister and looked up to see his brother asleep layed out on 2 or 3 visitor chairs. He looks to the other side expecting to see Jen his best friend but instead finds a large brutish man in his late thirties, or maybe early forties holding his baby brother David. He looks at the man a little longer before the realisation hits him 'Uncle Luke.'

Luke looks up from the sleeping child's delicate face and over to the bed 'Jess.'

'What are you doing here?'

'Waiting for them to let you out.'

'Don't tell me mum finally decided to ship me to you? I didn't even do anything - she's the one who crashed that car...wasn't she?'

'Yeah...that's why I'm here - you're mum...'

'Yes Luke - my mum - your sister - we both know he as Liz...?'

'She...ah jeez... she...'

'Shit.'

'She passed on jess.'

5 days later, on an early Tuesday they rock up at the Gilmore house - a 'minimanson' in an odd town with a done up suv and black jeep wrangler parked in the drive. Jess and Matt have similar expressions on their almost identical faces and both haul a bag or two over their shoulders before Jess then picks up Jamie as well as she is still half asleep and Luke takes any remaining bags and David. Walking them to the door that is big and intruding.

'looks like Uncle Luke did better than we thought he did.' Matt mumbled sarcastically before following him in. Inside they are confronted with a warm more cheery atmosphere - especially with photos on every possible space between things like the dilapidated barbie doll and a monkey lamp, most the photos are of two girls, some including one or two boys or a small Korean girl. As they walk through the lounge they can begin to hear a small thumping noise and Luke drops bags and sighs before opening the door leading to the kitchen. The boys drop the bags and follow as they begin to hear the thumping become clearer. They find themselves in the kitchen with a girl about their age, chestnut hair and a good body in a pair of boy legs and a white school shirt with a round brush in her hand and a mug the size of a cereal bowl in the other. She was moving to 'man who murdered love' and singing along with parts as she took another sip and her eyes got wide 'hey Luke.'

'Hey Rory.' She spun back around and skulled the rest of the cup putting it discreetly on the side bench 'you know Lorelia is going to kill you when she wakes up to your music.'

'Oh - mums not here - something about your smell and the diner - spent the night there last night.'

Luke simply nodded and grabbed an orange juice as Rory looked for her skirt 'Luke - have you seen my uniform?'

'Why are you looking in the kitchen?'

'You've been away - I'm the only one whose used it to cook - did you expect to come back and find it functional?'

'At least your mother didn't cook.'

Rory avoided eye contact 'mmmm - do me a favour? Don't look in the grill.'

Luke sighed and went to the grill as Rory sat on a kitchen bench with a bowl of coco pops and marshmallows with the odd fruit loop in a bowl that seemed to be a clear mixing bowl 'so - how was it?'

'...Went as well as suspected.'

'Mum made room for them - hope you didn't like the white sheets to much.' She said as she watched Luke begin to scour the grill 'you let her cook?'

'Hey! I didn't let her...I wasn't here'

'You left your mother unattended in a kitchen?'

'She wasn't meant to be home - I was at a hockey game.'

'Win?'

'But of course. Doubled there score'

'Party wasn't here was it?'

'Tristan's.'

'Thank god.'

'mmmm...LILY!' a small blonde came bouncing down the stairs in a school skirt and a nightie

'mm?'

'Have you seen my skirt?'

'The grey ones in the living room...I think you left the last clean plaid one at my house'

'Thanks kiddo.' Lily nodded and bounced out of the room Luke looked at her

'So I take it Tristan's over?'

'Yeah - he may have spent the night here.'

'May have?'

'Yeah - I mean you never know what a guy like him does in the night - could be like...new jackko or something.'

'Hey! What are you implying?'

'Simply that...well ...under the hardcore womaniser shield there could be like fully fledged woman hater who seeks revenge on the better sex through the night... Nothing big.'

'Right.' He laughed 'better sex. That's a good one.'

'See - your willing to admit subservience - your at least getting better at this.' She shot over her shoulder before turning out of the room and into the connecting lounge looking for her skirt and coming face to face with the two boys who had excused themselves after a few seconds but had heard all anyway. Jess smirked at the sight Rory looked down and tried to avoid eye contact until she found her skirt 'you must be Matt.' She said looking at the still smirking face as she pulled on thigh highs 'jess actually.'

'...right - making you matt ...right?'

'Right.' Both boys watched as she did up her Mary Janes

'And you'd be Jamie?'

'Who are you?' the small girl questioned from her brother's lap.

'I'm Rory...Lorelia's daughter.'

'lolia?'

'Yeah - you'll meet her later - she lives here to.'

'I'm living with a girl?'

'try two - with another two or three part time.'

'Wow - can you be like ...my pretend big sister - I've never had a big sister or anything - just the boys - and they don't know about boys and stuff.'

'Sure - just not this second - I have a practice to get to before school kid - Lily will stick around though until Luke takes her to school...I think Luke's taking her to school.'

She turned around as Tristan walked in from the kitchen 'eat.' He said as he put a new coffee in front of her along with the remainder of her mixing bowl of cereal. She skulled the coffee 'Luke!'

There was a grunt from the kitchen. "Can you take Lily to school?'

'I have to open the dinner Ror.'

'I know but ...cant Caesar?'

'His closing.'

'LILY! ... Lil!'

'alright already.' She mumbled as she came into the room trying to do up her tie.

'you think you'll be ready in...'

'5 minutes.' Tristan finished for her.

'Fat chance.'

'ok so...we practice - I come get you in the 30 minute break and we get to school as the bell goes.'

'But don't you have pool?'

'After school.' Rory replied picking up a jersey and a hockey stick and putting them down to finish her cereal. Luke walked in 'when are you getting home?'

'After pool practice so like...quarter past five.'

'But you finish at five.'

'Yeah?'

'And you are going to get from Hartford to here in fifteen minutes?'

'yeah, oh and I need to stop at the Franklin before I leave.'

Luke sighed 'it's a 40 minute drive ror.'

'Not in my car its not.'

Lily sat on Rory's lap and threw her hands around her neck 'can I come here tonight?'

'Sure kid. Tris?'

'For how long?'

'The night silly.'

'But lil-'

'Have you been home lately? Mum deicded to change the living room again. Shes taking ove rhte house again.'

'what do you want for breakfast lil?'

'hmm...PIZZA!'

'the norm?'

'extra chesse.'

'ok well you get started on the daily coffee and when I get back ill bring the pizza with - you can eat in the car. Deal?'

'I can eat in the car?'

'yeah ...so?'

'Tristans car?'

'yeah - just don't tell him if you get anything on the leather interior deal?'

'deal.'

'Tris - come on - the ice'll melt!'

'Whose car?'

'Yours - im driving though.' She grinned devilishly and swung his keys around her finger.

'Seat belts! I will not have you die on the way to training!' Luke shouted as she opened the door.

'be back in an hour...BE READY!' was shouted before the door shut and a car could be heard starting up and playing foo fighters full boar as it drove away.

Jess looked at Matt 'well she seemed..'

'intresting.' Matt finished.

'I like her.' Jamie put in 'and shes beautiful' she commented looking at one of the photos.
