Note: The sequel to The Reigning Lorelai! Less sad but a lot more drama mixed in. This is set 16 years after The Reigning Lorelai. Jess and Rory are 43 and Lori is 16. Jess and Rory's other son Jake is 11. Janelle is 21 and Gigi is 25. Enjoy and review!

"Why do you insist on that damned pig squealing to wake us up? Even on a Saturday morning?" 43-year-old Jess Mariano asked his wife groggily.

"I love that alarm clock and I know you do too."

"Sure I do. Wanna make it up to me?"

"Depends on how I can."

"Kiss me and wake me up," he asked while yawning.

Rory grinned and sat up to position herself on top of Jess. She nibbled on his earlobe and ran her hands up and down his chest. She gave him a light kiss on the lips and trailed more down to his stomach. She returned back up to kiss him fully on the lips. Her lips parted immediately so Jess's tongue could come through and work its magic. They parted a couple minutes later in need for air and looked into each other's eyes.

But their peace was broken when Lori made her Saturday morning wake up call.

"Hey Dad stop doing dirty things with mom and come make me French Toast," she yelled from outside her parent's door.

"I hate that she inherited her cooking skills," Jess mumbled.

"Or lack of cooking skills. At least she got the coffee gene. That's all that matters for me."

"You're going to be held responsibly if she dies early."

"Coffee makes you happy though!"

"Dad, French Toast! Mom, coffee!" Lori shouted again.

Rory jumped off of Jess and ran out of the room chanting, "Coffee coffee coffee!"

Jess laughed as he slowly got out of bed. "Just another morning at the Marianos."

11 year old Jake Mariano groaned hearing his sister shout and his mother do her coffee chant. He put his pillow over his head trying to draw more sleep in but when is door creaked open he knew that wasn't happening.

"Jakey," Rory sang, "coffee time. And French toast."

All she got was a gruff leave me alone.

"Come on babe get up."

"I'm not your babe…and don't call me Jakey…I don't know why you do that."

"You're a Luke incarnate you know that."

"I drink coffee."

"Good point…will you get up if I take you to Barnes and Noble for a new book and Love Park?"

"Bribery will get you everywhere mother."

Mother and son walked out of Jake's room into the living room of their 4-room loft in Center City Philly. In the kitchen Jess was at the stove while Lori sat at the table drinking coffee and flipping through a magazine. Rory stopped at the doorway of the kitchen while Jake headed over to get some coffee at the counter. She observed her family and how much they had grown.

11-year-old Jake was male version of his mother but held his father's eyes. He had a nature like his dad to be quiet and brooding and pretty grumpy in the morning. But he had the same love of books like both of his parents and the Gilmore wit and coffee addiction.

But it was 16-year-old Lori that brought amazement to bother her parents. She was a carbon copy of her grandmother Lorelai (A/N: Think of the girl who played teenage Lorelai in "Dear Emily and Richard" and you've got our Lori.) in looks and personality. Jess thought it was a little creepy how similar she was. It was why she got along so well with her mother and her godparents. Luke was extra protective of her and even took it upon himself to teach her how to fish. She helped Sookie at the Dragonfly during her stays in Stars Hollow and she had a very odd bond with her grandpa Christopher.

Looking away from Lori she looked at her husband of 21 years and felt the same flutter in her stomach that she felt when she first met him. He aged well with only little shades of gray in his hair and a rough beard on his face. His body had filled out nicely from his scrawny phase. He'd stressed himself over the years by writing 4 best-selling books since Lori was born. But only true Mariano fans knew about The Subsect. The day Lori turned 16 was when he started writing the book he promised Rory he would. It was dedicated to all 4 of the Lorelai's…even Gran.

Rory shook herself from her thoughts and went to the cabinet to get a mug for her coffee. She poured the black substance in the giant mug and joined Lori and Jake at the table. Jess joined with their French toast 5 minutes later and forks clattered as the Marianos settled down to breakfast.

Next up: "Why are you pushing this Jess? Why are you so afraid she's gonna get pregnant?"
