Title: Seasons of Love

Chapter 1: Lorel

Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls. I never will. Wish I could, but I can't, so if that disappoints any of you, then I'm sorry! :-P

Summery: Rory and Jess have to struggle over the many obstacles that are placed in their way. R/J pairings and maybe a few others. Future Fic!

"Isn't she just perfect?" Rory Gilmore Mariano asked her husband.

"Perfect." Her husband, Jess Mariano, murmured as Rory gently rested her head on his shoulder. 

The young couple was staring at their 3 month old daughter, Lorelai Ashley Mariano (nicknamed Lorel) as she slept peacefully in her crib.

"Come on Ror, its late and I'm tired. Lets go to bed." Yawned a sleepy Jess as he struggled to keep his eyes open.

"Oh fine. I guess I'm tired too" Rory replied as she took one last glance at her sleeping daughter and walked over to her bed. "Good night Jess."

No sooner had they both gotten into bed then they both heard a sharp wail from across the room.

"Jess," whined Rory, "Cant you get her. I'm tired!"

"Rory, sweetie, I love you, but you still haven't been able to get up in the middle of the night to take care of Lorel. You're just like your mother!"

"Not now, Jess! You take care of her," insisted Rory. "Please?" she added turning over towards him and giving him her pleading look.

"Oh fine," Jess agreed reluctantly, "But just because I love you so much! You owe me one!"

"Fine! Sure, sure" was the reply he got from the other side of the bed.

Jess went across the room and picked up his daughter. "Are you hungry sweetheart?" He cooed to her. The baby stopped crying and looked at him with her big blue eyes.

"Looks just like her mother."  Jess thought as he stared at her. Yes, Lorel did have her mother's blue eyes, and a layer of soft brown hair framed the top of her head, just like Rory. Lorel also had her mother and grandmother's personality. All three of them wanted what they wanted when they wanted and now one was going to tell them otherwise. Jess was also sure that Lorel would, just like Rory and Lorelai, become addicted to coffee. In fact, it would surprise him if Lorel actually didn't become addicted.

He walked into the kitchen of their small house in Stars Hollow, opened the refrigerator and pulled out a bottle of baby formula. He then walked into the living room and sat down in the rocking chair. Jess gently rocked Lorel while feeding her the bottle. When she finished, he noticed that the bottle had made her quite sleepy, so he rocked her a little bit more and then put her to bed back in her crib.

"Goodnight honeybear." He softly murmured calling her the pet name he had thought of for her.  Then, careful not to disturb a sleeping Rory, he quietly crept back to bed, pulled up the covers, and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Well, that's what I've got so far. Please review and let me know what you think of it. If I find that by the next chapter I don't have a lot of positive reviews, then I'll just delete the whole story. So, PLEASE click the little purple button down there and submit a review! Also, please keep in mind, that if you are going to be critical, don't be too mean. I'm only 12 years old! Thanks everyone!
