I'm really sorry for the long wait but my internet has been down and I haven't had time to really write. The next chapter may take a while cause I have finals all this week and next week. Sorry.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.


"Okay here's everyrthing you shuld need, Rory knows where everything is and if you hurt her I will kill you," Luke said to Jess. They were close by but Luke was trying to whisper, very unsuccessfully.

"Luke, it's fine. You should go back down and close up for the night. We'll be just fine here," I said popping my head around the corner. "You still keep coffee up here right?"

"Yes but I'm not telling you where. If you really want it then you can find it. It may slow you down for a day or two," He said. I started smelling and opening the cupboards. "I'm telling you, you won't find it… or you will." I pulled out the plastic bag of unmade coffee and opened it.

"How did she do that?"

"Her mother," Luke replied.

"Wait a minute," I said. "Where's the other kind?"

"What do you mean?"

"Where's the regular coffee," I asked.

"How do you smell that," Jess asked. He took the bag from me and sniffed it. "I cn't even tell the difference."

"I keep the regular downstairs locked up in a cabinet which only I have the key too," He said. "It's safer."

"So I have to wait until morning?" I asked. He nodded.

"As concerned as I am that Rory did something like this I'm glad you two aren't fighting like a lot of them do. I'll see you tomorrow." And with that Luke walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

"Well, that went pretty well. You're mom didn't freak out as much as I thought a Luke was kind of okay with it," Jess said. I sat down next to him.

"You got lucky," I said. "Honestly you picked the wrong family to marry into. We've still got to tell my dad and my grandparents. But it's getting late why don't you take the bed."

"No you should," He said.

"It's fine. I'm going down to get myself a cup of coffee anyways," I said. "Luke forgot his keys." I pulled out Luke's keys from my back pocket and grinned.

"Well if you're having coffee then I'm going to join you. Is that okay?"

"Of course, hubby," I said jokingly. We both laughed. "I better call Paris too."

"Who's Paris?"

"She's like my best friend and she called my mom and she's probably freaking out right now. It'll only take a couple of minutes." I pulled out my phone and sat at the counter waiting for her to answer.

"Where the hell have you been! First you hang up on me and then you don't call back! I've been worried sick."

"I'm sorry Paris but something has come up and I'm going to have to move out for about a month. I'm going to be taking online courses," I said.

"What? Why?"

"Because something has come up. Look I'll tell you later, it's getting late and I need more energy before I do this. I'll talk to you tomorrow when I come to pick up my stuff."

"No don't you dare hang up on me Gilmore. What about the paper! Who's going to run to fricken' Yale Daily News!" Jess poured me a cup of coffee and sat next to me.

"I'll let Doyle do it, it's only for a month," I said.

"A month! Only a month!! This whole paper can go up in flames in a month. Besides Doyle's gotten so lazy since he graduated!" Jess covered one ear and pretended to go deaf beside me.

"It'll be fine but I really have to go. I'll fill you in later." I hung up again and turned my phone on silence.

"She sounds fun," He said. "so how are we going to tell everyone else?"

"I say we get them all together and see who notices the ring first. When can your parents be here?" I asked.

"Well I have no idea where my dad is but my mom can be here tomorrow if I call her. But I warn you, she's pregnant."

"Great," I said. "My dad's just about an hour away and my grandparents are already here." We finished our coffee and walked back up the stairs.

"Where should we tell them to meet tomorrow?" he asked when we were getting into bed. "Somewhere around here?"

"Miss Patty's. It's a dance studio, we can lock the doors and Miss Patty won't mind letting us use it. Well we better get to bed. Night."

"Night," He said. I turned off the bedside lamp and laid down on the bed. Tomorrow was going to be really fun.


The next morning we called everyone and told them to meet in the dance studio at noon. Of course we waited for about thirty minutes cause we forgot to check if Patty had a class, and of course she did.

When we finally got in everyone sat down, even Paris found out and came. My grandparents brought their own chairs for some reason. I turned around and looked inside my purse.

"You ready," He asked. I slipped the ring on my finger and nodded. He took my hand and led me over to everyone.

"What is this about Rory," grandma asked. "I have a meeting to get to for the DAR.

"Oh my god!! Rory Gilmore!!" Paris yelled.

"Everyone this is Jess," I said ignoring Paris.

"Her husband!" She yelled. She got up and grabbed my left hand showing it to everyone.

"What!" They all yelled.

"If you forced her into anything I swear I'll kill you," my dad said getting up and rolling his sleves up. "I'll kill you, how dare you do that to my daughter. Let go of her!!" I let go of Jess' hand and pushed my dad away.

"you're married! My baby boy is married!" Jess's mom said. She started crying histarically and her husband led her into the corner.

"Rory how could you," grandpa asked.

"Well, remember your party?" I asked. They nodded. "I didn't really want to go and so mom let me leave and I went to a club and we ended up in Vegas married."

"I called and we have to be a married couple for a month before we can get it annulled," Jess said. "You must be Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore. It's nice to meet you."

"Please call me Richard," He said.

"and me Emily. I'll have my lawyer look and see if there's a loophole. If people find out about this our name will be ruined," She said. I shook my head at her. "I'll see you later Rory."

"Grandma," I said. "I think we should cancel Friday Night Dinners from now on," I said bravely. "For me and mom. We're just too busy."

"Fine," She said and turned to walk out. Grandpa followed her quietly.

"Friday Night Dinners?" Jess asked.

"I'll tell you later but we're out of them forever," I said. "Mom will be so happy."

"Yes she will," my dad said. "I'm Chris."

"Nice to meet you sir," Jess said shaking his hand. "Ow!" Jess pulled his hand back and started to read it.

"Dad," I said. "Look just be nice for a month. It wasn't his fault. If I remember I think it was my idea to get married."

"Fine but you're lucky my daughter's protecting you," He said. Jess nodded quickly and let out a sigh of relief when he walked out of the doors.

"You're dad's kind of scary," Jess whispered. I laughed and looked over at Paris.

"Paris," I said. "Do you get why I'm taking online courses for a month?" She nodded.

"but how ould you do this! I mean you're the sensivle one in the family. I don't know what I'll do when your gone!! I'll have to bring my craft table back and I'll have to talk to Doyle for forever while your gone!" She said pacing back and forth in front of us. "If you thought her dad was scary wait for me. You hurt her and I can have a Portuguese nanny come and attack you in the middle of the night!"

"Okay but I won't hurt her," He said.

"Fine but I'm watching you," she said. "I have to get back to school. When are coming to get your stuff?"

"Tomorrow probably, I've got clothes at my mom's place for now. I'll see you later." Giving her a hug and pushing her out the door his parents finally came back and looked at us. The next thing I knew I was in a bone crushing hug.

"Liz, come on hun, let the girl go," her husband said.

"My baby's married!! And to a beautiful girl," she said letting go and wiping her face.

"thank you," I said.

"Mom, TJ, this is Rory Gilmore," Jess said.

"Please call us by our first names," TJ said to me. "My wife's just a little emotional."

"You know what I'm gonna do?" she asked. "I'm gonna make you some jewelry. Very pretty Jewelry that you can wear forever. I love you!! I thought my baby boy was never going to get married!" She hugged me again but this time U had a change to hug back before she pulled back and started sobbing again.

"I'm sure it will be beautiful," I said. "I can't wait."

"Oh she's so sweet! You finally found a nice girl!!" She pulled Jess into a hug and then her husband. It looked uncomfortable considering she was twice her normal size.

"When are you due," I asked.

"It a week," she said. "We better get going actually I'm supposed to be on bed rest but I wanted to come see my baby!"

"Mom can you please stop reffering to me as your baby," Jess asked. I hid a small laugh at his comment. "you think this is funny?" I shook my head. "Are you sure?" I shook my head again.

"It's a little funny," I said. Behind him TJ and Liz were sneaking out the backdoor. I saw them get into their car and drive off. "really funny," I said and sprinted out of the studio towards Luke's. He followed close after me but I ran behind the counter and ducked.

"Rory I know you're behind there," He said. "I can come back there too."

"I'm sorry but no body is allowed behind here," Lane said coming out of the kitchen.

"But I just saw my wife go back there," He said.

"I'm sorry but there's no one back here. You may leave over the counter but that's all," she said. I slipped into one of the cabinets in the counter and watched as his head popped down and then back up.

"Where did she go," He asked. I slipped back out and waited until he put his head back down until I leaned over beside him and smiled.

"What we lookin for?" I asked. He jumped up and looked at me. "I have my ways," I said. "this is Lane, my best friend since like kindergarten. I already told her about everything over the phone."

"you must be Jess, nice to meet you. I've got to say Ror, you got lucky. You're husbands hot," She said. We laughed together as Jess's cheeks turned a light pink.

"And who is my rockin wife talking about? I hope it's me," Zack said coming up next to me. "Rory!"

"Hey Zack. You're lovely wife was talking about my hudsband over here," I said. "Jess this is Zack, Zack this is Jess."

"Is this what kept Lane on the phone all night last night?" I nodded. "Well it's nice to meet you dude," He said. "wait did you say married?" Jess and I nodded. "I don't want to know."

"No you probably don't. but what can I get for you," Lane asked.

"Coffee, French fries and pancakes please," I said.

"Just like your mother," She mumbled writing it down.

"and I'm proud," I said back.

"I'll just steal from her," Jess said.

"Making that two of each," Lane said.

"Smart girl," I said. She nodded. "What are you going to have Zack?" He waited and waited until she gave him a menu.

"A burger," he said opening it and closing it quickly.

We all ate our meals and finished off the day and other than that I don't think anyone else found out that I had gotten married.


Okay so even though there was a long wait it was a long chapter. About 8 pages on word and I worked really hard on this so please review.

Amanda!
