This story follows the Rory Gilmore and Jess Mariano. I am kind of making it into a mini-series. Leave reviews. I am new to this so please, suggestions is invited.
Chapter One:
"So you're getting in tonight? What time?" Lorelai asked eagerly. "I will be there before you practice falling down the aisle." Rory joked with her mother. "Thank you for the vote of confidence, kid. I'm only asking because your grandmother won't stop calling with questions and suggestions about how the floral decorations are too immature or how she knows this cake person. But all I hear is, "All of your ideas suck, Lorelai." Otherwise known as Life with Emily Gilmore." Rory laughed, "Well I will be there in—" Lorelai interrupted, "4 hours. 39 minutes and 47, 46, 45…" "Mom, relax. This will be the one time I will tell you to lay off the caffeine for a while. I already called Sookie and everything is ready. She is currently working on your cake, I will pick up the flowers in the morning. Babette is decorating. All you have to do is show up." Rory reassured.
"Okay, okay. Even from Chicago, you take care of business for your old lady." Rory smiled at that. "What can I say? Now BREATHE. I will call grandma. See you soon." "Drive safe, baby. I love you." Rory hung up and put her things in the car.
After she hung up with her Grandma, she went through the wedding details in her head: Mom got her dress and Luke's tux this morning, Sookie is taking care of all the food and cake, Babette is decorating (with guidance by Lorelai and Sookie), I have to get the flowers in the morning, Sookie, Liz, and I have our dresses, and Luke said he would take care of TJ, Jess, and Jackson's attire. Other than that, everything was set.
Even though she knew everything was ready, Rory was nervous. When the thought of Jess came into her mind, it made her tense. This would be the first time she would see him since that night at Truncheon five years prior.
"It is what it is. You. Me."
What was that supposed to mean? The question that has been planted in her head when Jess's face pops up. The question that would be answered in less than five hours.
When she got to her mom's house, Luke was already at the inn setting up with Babette. She went into the house to find Lorelai asleep on the couch or so she thought. As soon as the door creaked shut, Lorelai was up and took her daughter in for a bear hug. "Oh. Hey there, Sleeping Beauty." Rory said startled. On that note, her mom did what she did best or in her head she did. She grabbed her daughter and started dancing while singing, "I know you, I walked with you Once Upon a Dream." "You know, when I said that, I didn't mean for you to reenact it for me." Rory said breaking away from her mother. "Ahhhh, I missed you kid."
As they were all lining up on the stage to practice, everyone was there except Jess. Typical. He would probably pop up during an intense moment like usual. As Lorelai walked up the stair steps to Luke, you could the happiness and love plastered across their smiling faces. Looking at them made you jealous of how in love they were. And of course, the door squeaks open. Jess runs up the stairs to the Best Man spot. He apologizes to the clearly frustrated couple which led the pastor to bring them back to the point of this get together. Jess looks at everyone, then he looks at Rory, who was already staring at him. When he saw her, she looke back to Luke and Lorelai. Trying to not make a big deal. Trying to hide her shaking hands.
