A/N Hope you enjoy the new story, there are two before it in the series, Dean's Return and Together

"I love traveling." Rory said. "But it's nice to be home." They had been on their honeymoon in Italy.

They were both exhausted, and were very jetlagged. They planned on staying in for the night, watching movies and ordering in. "Ready?" Dean asked holding up the DVD they planned to watch.

Then the phone rang. "Hold on…" Rory said. "Hello." She said as she picked up the phone. "Really? Okay, thank you so much. I'll have to get back to you. Yes, I'll call you back soon. Thank you, bye." Rory hung up the phone. "I got a job!"

Dean gave her a big hug. "Congratulations!" Dean paused "which one?"

Rory laughed. "The Hartford News. The others emailed me telling me the positions were no longer open, but they'd consider me for a later date."

"But this was the one you wanted!" Dean was very excited, too.

"Yep." Rory said. "Wow, my first job."

"So when do you start?" Dean asked curiously.

"June 8th, next Monday."

"That's great!" They sat on the couch for a moment. "So do you want to watch?" He said holding up the DVD unenthusiastically.

"Not really." Rory said. "Can we surprise my mom? Let's go tell her the good news."

"Okay," Dean said grabbing the keys.

"Welcome Home!" Lorelai hugged Rory. "How was your trip?"

"Oh Italy is Italy. Anyway, guess what?" Rory was ecstatic.

"You were bitten by a radioactive spider and now have amazing superpowers?" Lorelai guessed.

Rory didn't even take the time to acknowledge her mom's usual smart-ass response. "I got the job! I am a reporter at the Hartford News."

"Oh my gosh!" Lorelai hugged Rory again. "Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Rory." Luke said.

"Thanks guys!"

"So….." Lorelai said as they all stood their wondering what to do next.

"We brought movies." Dean proposed as an idea.

"I've got junk food." Lorelai said.

"What a surprise." Luke said sarcastically.

They watched a movie, and ate lots of crap but called it an early night. Around 10, Dean and Rory were beat, and they went back home and went to sleep. The next day Dean went off to work. Rory slept in late and spent a nice morning at home catching up on some good reading. She went online and subscribed to the Hartford News, and in the early evening Dean came home from work. "How was your day?" She gave him a kiss, nice and long.

"Wow, you must have had a good day."

"Actually, I just stayed home. I've been feeling a little sick lately…"

"You should go to the doctor's."

" Maybe in a few days…let's just take it easy tonight."

"Okay." Dean said. Then Rory ran to the bathroom, and puked.
