Thanks so much for all of the reviews and I have decided to make this a longer story. And because they only have to be married a month I'm going to write a chapter for every day this like not included so there's going to be like 30 more chapters after this but I'm not sure when they're going to be up.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
We packed up all of our stuff and traded in the chips that ever never got a chance to turn in the night before. I guess we had gotten into a casino before we got married. We drove for what seems like forever. It was silent but it wasn't awkward. "How long did it take for us to get here last night?" I asked.
"Like ten hours but I kept on driving for some reason and we ended up in Vegas," He said.
"So you had no idea where you were going?" He shook his head. "We're lucky you didn't land us in the middle of the ocean."
"Are you going to complain the whole time?" He asked. "Cause if you are I'm going to get some ear plugs." I laughed.
"No I'm not going to complain the whole time but if you see a gas station can you stop. I need coffee! I haven't had some in 24 hours and it's killing me!" I hadn't gone without coffee for more than three hours because of classes in the past three years.
"Okay, you sound like my uncle's girlfriend. He's always saying that she needs some major help and she's always in the background protesting," Jess said. He was actually a pretty decent guy. Owned a book store with some of his friends his dad left him too but he was never in contact with him except for a couple of times while he was a teen.
"Coffee is awesome. I had my first cup when I was four and I've been hooked ever since."
"That is just really bad for you," He said.
"Yeah well you know what, it's good. Where are we going now?" I asked.
"Gas station up ahead. You're going to get you're coffee so I can see how long it'll last," He said.
"Yay!"
"And pus, we're running low on gas. You go in and get your coffee and whatever else you need to get. Can you get me a coffee too?" I nodded and grabbed my purse. Walking in I grabbed three cups of coffee and one of those little holder thingys that you can put like four cups in and not spill. And then a bunch of junk food.
"Comes to be 10.49. The old guy at the counter was really cranky and it wasn't even that late at night. Only like seven. "Come on, are you going to take all day?" His words were kind of slurred and I smelled alchol, he was drunk.
"Here keep the change," I said grabbing all of the food and the coffee. I threw a ten and a one at him and walked out.
"why are there three cups of coffee?" He asked.
"Cause I need two. Do we have gas?" He nodded. "then let's get going. Wait where are we going? You've just been driving."
"We're heading to Stars Hollow. I figure we can get the hard part over first. Telling your parents," He said. Uh oh. I have to warn him that my parents aren't the bad part, well not the worst anyways.
"It's not going to be my parents that have the major problem. It's going to be my grandparents."
"You never mentioned them. Can't your parents tell them?" I shook my head.
"Once my mom hears she won't even go near them for a week after we've told them." I started playing with my new ring and really looked at it. It had a large diamond and then a couple on the sides.
"Why do they hate each other so much?" He asked.
"They don't hate each other. There's just that little resentment that's left over from when my mom got pregnant and ran away. We're only about ten minutes away now. Turn right here."
"This place looks familiar," He said. "Stars Hollow." He started thinking as he was driving. He swerved a little but I grabbed the wheel.
"you aren't going to kill us now are you? I mean come on, we just got married." I laughed at my own joke. "The diner's right up here and knowing my mom she's there." He pulled up and parked on the street.
"Uh oh," He said.
"What? You haven't even seen my mom and she's not that bad."
"I know but what's your mom's fiancés last name?"
"Danes, why?"
"Cause that's my uncle. That's why this looks familiar, I visited once and thought this was a town full of wackos."
"This is not a town full of wackos! Sure there are a few like Kirk and Taylor, maybe some other ones too," I said. "Okay, so there are a few but it's a really nice town."
"Okay, it's a nice town. Well at least we'll get everything done at the same time." Now I was even more nervous, I get to tell everyone at the same time.
"Let's go," I said. We got out of the car and walked into the door. Of course my mom was sitting at the counter sipping at a cup of coffee.
"My baby!" She yelled when she saw me!
"Hey mom," I said hugging her.
"Paris called me. Do you know why?" I shook my head. Crap I forgot to call her back. "She said that you were missing and she was getting mad cause you talked to her and then hung up."
"Whoops but I'm not missing cause I'm right here," I said. "I need to talk to you and Luke. Actually, we do." Jess walked up next to me. And surprising me and himself I think and everyone else actually, he grabbed my hand.
"And who is this?" my mom asked.
"Jess?" Luke asked coming out from the back. "What are you doing here?" He was going to hug him but stopped. "And holding Rory's hand. What am I missing?"
"We need to talk to you Uncle Luke," Jess said.
"Can we go upstairs?" I asked. He nodded.
"Cesar you're in charge for a couple minutes. I've got to talk to someone really quick."
"Okay," He called back. All four of us walked up the stairs and into Luke's small little apartment that he still had for some reason even though he lived with my mom.
"So what is going on? You're not pregnant are you cause you see what happened with me," she said.
"First, mom, this is Jess. Jess this is my mom, Lorelai. And you know Luke," I said.
"This is your nephew? The one that was really moody?" my mom asked.
"I'm not moody," Jess said.
"Fine but you were when you were younger. I've got to say you have cleaned it up a bit now," Luke said. "But what's wrong?"
"How did you two meet?" Mom asked.
"Well when you sent me home in the cab a couple of nights ago I made the cab driver take me to the nearest club and that's where I met Jess and we danced," I said.
"We talked," Jess continued, "and then it's all a little vague but we do know what happened."
"What happened," Luke asked. "You didn't do anything to her right. I swear if you pressured her I'll hurt you nephew or not."
"You make it sound like you like her more than me," Jess said.
"Well I kind of do," Luke said sitting back down. My mom grabbed his hand and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Hey!"
"Well I never see you and she's going to be my daughter pretty soon. Besides I never even see you anymore."
"Look, let's forget about this. Here's the thing, we ended up in Vegas. And we actually won like three hundred dollars," I said. "But we also kind of, maybe…you say it," I told Jess turning to him.
"Well we woke up and we kind of figured out that well, we didn't do anything. We passed out before we got more than halfway undressed."
"Here," I said grabbing my purse and taking out the ring. I slipped it on my left ring finger and held it up.
"WHAT!!" Both of them stood up and grabbed my hand.
"How could you get married? You barely even knew each other," Luke said.
"I agree but this is a nice ring," my mom said.
"Yeah they have a lot of ring stores in Vegas," Jess said. "But we called and we can't get the marriage annulled until we're married for a month and we have to be living together and everything."
"So we were thinking that I would take online classes for a month and we would move into Jess's apartment," I said.
"Okay it sounds good but who's telling everyone else?" my mom asked. We shrugged.
"I guess if I just wear the ring Patty will figure it out sometime," I said.
"Okay, but you can tell your grandparents. Do you want to stay here for the night?"
"Sure that'd be great. Is that okay with you?" Jess asked me. I nodded and smiled at him. I'd only known him for a couple days but he is nice, and cute.
"Awww, he's so cute." Apparently my mom was thinking the same thing.
"We'll tell grandma and grandpa later. And we'll tell Jess' mom." I said. They nodded and got us settled in. Jess and I argued for ten minutes about who was sleeping in the bed and finally I gave in which my mom thought was amazing.
I quote 'I can't believe that you just got my stubborn daughter to actually give in. It's a miracle.'
So they're probably going to be telling everyone else in the next couple chapters but I hope you like this one.
Amanda!
