Okay I'm am so sorry that it took me so long to finish this but it is the longest chapter of this story yet, which isn't saying much considering there's only four chapters now. But just another note, I'm taking random stuff out of the series and saying that it's happened, even if it's out of order. I really hope that you like this chapter.

The next morning Jess and I were walking out of the diner and all eyes were on us. Miss Patty had seen me come out of the studio with the ring on and of course, that night, everyone knew.

"Rory, is it true?" I turned around and saw Dean, my first boyfriend, love, everything. Of course that went down the drain and he's engaged.

"Is what true," I asked. Jess kept on walking and sat down on a bench not too far from us. He pulled out a book and started reading ignoring the stares.

"That you're married?" I nodded and held up my hand. "Wow, is that him?" He looked over to Jess and frowned.

"Yes, why are you frowning?"

"He just doesn't look good enough. Where does he go to school?"

"He doesn't," I said. "He owns a book store, that's where I'm going to be living for the next month. And he is good enough for me."

"How long have you known him?"

"I think it's been five days, let's see the party, yeah I think five days. Don't look at me like that, we were a little drunk. Where's Lindsay?"

"She's off somewhere getting her nails done and trying to find a job," he said. "Rory just make sure he's safe. I don't want you getting hurt." That's the one thing I can't stand, saying that they don't want you hurt when they've hurt you.

"I'll be fine. I'm a big girl and he's really sweet. I really want you two to get along. If it makes you feel any better he's Luke's nephew." I looked over to him and smiled. I think I was lucky that I ended up married to him instead of someone else.

"You seem happy," He said.

"I am," I said. "I mean yes I got married but he's a good guy. And I get to read all the books in his store without buying them." He laughed at my comment and smiled.

"Well you're probably happier than I am right now," He said. I looked at him confused. "Lindsay and I just don't go together anymore. We were good in high school but now it's different."

"I know, it all changes. Do you really love her?"

"I'm not sure anymore," He said.

"Rory!! We have to get going!! Paris will kill me if you're late, she'll think that I beat you or something!" Jess yelled.

"I'll be right there!"

"So Paris knows?" Dead asked. I nodded. "You better get going then."

"Just one thing," I said. "If you don't know if you love her then that's a reason not to get married. I know it's a bad thing to say, I just don't want to see your marriage end. When you get married, get married to the right one. I know it's not a lot coming from me anymore but…"

"I know what you mean and I've been thinking about it. I'll see you around," he said. I nodded at him.

"What was that about," Jess asked coming up to me.

"That's Dean, my first boyfriend, love and everything else," I told him as we started walking.

"Still have feelings for him?" I shook my head. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," I said. "He's engaged to his high school girlfriend."

"Not sweetheart?"

"No, he kind of had two, me and Lindsay." Jess nodded and started the car.

"Paris we're here!" I yelled through the door. "Come on Paris I forgot my key when I was here a week ago!"

"What's the signal," Doyle asked. I sighed and rolled my eyes before kicking the door two times and then hitting it once on top and then on bottom.

"Why do you have to do that," Jess asked.

"It's not the safest here," I said. Right then a gunshot went off down the street. Jess jumped slightly and looked out the window in the hallway. "Yeah that was real."

"That's really bad, are you sure you should be living here. It looks like a hell hole and now I think it actually is one," he said. I laughed and shook my head.

"I'll be fine, we've got protection. Paris took classes," I said acting like it was some big deal. "Doyle let us in!!"

"Hi Rory," Doyle said opening the door. "Who's the dude?"

"My husband Doyle, this is Jess."

"When did you get married," Doyle asked following me in.

"Just a few days ago. You're going to have Paris all to your self for a while," I said walking into my room and grabbing a suitcase.

"I'm home!! Is Rory here yet? If she isn't that boy is getting a real beating!" Paris yelled as she walked through the front door.

"Don't worry Paris, I'm here!"

"Good," She said. "What do you need help with? I brought nanny over to help with your packing." Nanny rushed in and moved me out of the way grabbing clothes and folding them for me. "She'll cover everything in here, is he treating you right?"

"Yes Paris, don't worry. He hasn't done anything wrong," I said.

"They were a little late though," Doyle said from the couch. "I was getting a little worried and then they showed up. Why didn't you tell me they were married?"

"Because you didn't need to know. Why were you late?"

"Paris, I want you to take a deep breath and just calm down. Dean stopped us and he and I talked a little bit before we came. He was just wondering who Jess was," I said. "Now breath." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"Rory do you need anything that's not from your room," Jess asked.

"What movies do you have?"

"A lot," He said.

"Then no." Nanny came out with two suitcases packed and ready to go. "She did that fast." I walked into my room and checked my closet, there was nothing in it and everything was cleaner. "She cleaned my room again! It's so cool!"

"That's kind of scary," Jess said coming up behind me. I nodded. "Does this always happen?"

"When nanny's here."

"That's good," He said. "She won't be coming over to the store right?" I shook my head. "Okay. We better get going, it's about a thirty minute drive and we have to get this stuff downstairs." He grabbed the handle of one of my suitcases and tried to lift it.

"Having some trouble?" He nodded.

"What all did she put in this?" I walked in my room and looked around.

"From the looks of it, about everything that was in here. And all in two suitcases. Thanks nanny!" She smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up.

"But how do we get it downstairs? We can walk up and down, just not with these." He said.

"You need help?" Nanny asked. Jess nodded. "Move, move, move!" She took Jess's place and grabbed one bag in each hand and walked out the door.

"Wow," Jess whispered. "How old is she?"

"I'm not sure actually but she's not that young," I said. "I'm going to say good bye to Paris." I let go of his hand and walked over to her.

"What am I going to do without you?" She blurted out to me as I walked up.

"I'm sure you'll be fine and I'll still have my cell phone so you can call me or text me whenever you need to." My hands went to her shoulders as I looked her in the eyes. "Just don't kill Doyle while I'm gone."

"I'll try," She said. She pulled me into a tight hug and shook my back and forth a bit. "Tell me if Jess hurts you in anyway and come home as soon as you can!"

"Okay, but we have to go. I forgot one of my suitcases in Stars Hollow so we have to stop by there before we head to the store. I'll call you later," I said pulling away and walking back over to Jess.

"Everything ready," Nanny said as she walked back up.

"Thank you nanny," I said giving her a small hug too.

Walking down the stairs Jess stopped me and turned me to face him. "How did she get in the car," He asked. "I never gave her the keys and I locked it, right?"

"That is a little strange. You don't think she just left my stuff outside do you?" He shrugged, that was enough to make me run down the rest of the stairs and out to the car, only to find all of the stuff in the car and the car locked. "I really don't want to know. But we better get going if we're stopping by Stars Hollow."

"Okay let's go," He said. It only took us about fifteen minutes to get there because there wasn't any traffic on a Tuesday night. "Where is everyone?"

"I don't know. I'll text my mom," I said pulling out my mom and sending her a quick message. "Patty's," I read off the screen. "I guess just park and we'll go see what's going on."

All eyes were on us as the sliding doors squeaked open. How could I forget, the town meeting. "Rory late like your mother," Taylor said. She turned around and smiled at me, next to her Luke was shaking his head.

"Hi Taylor."

"Well then I'm assuming that this is your husband," Taylor asked pointing to Jess.

"Oh yes," Miss Patty said sitting next to him. "I saw them walking together, holding hands. They looked so cute."

"Thank you Patty, and yes this is Jess, Luke's nephew," I said.

"Well I'm quite surprised at you Rory, this is another issue I wanted to bring up actually," Taylor said. "Rory Gilmore."

"What? Me?" I asked.

"Yes you, why did you invite no one from Stars hollow to your wedding? You have been the local good girl for as long as I can remember," Taylor said.

"Well the thing is," I started.

"What kind of ceremony was it?" Bebette asked. "I remember you prancing around in your little fake wedding dress planning the whole thing out with crayons when you were younger."

"Thank you Babette."

"And if you don't mind me sayin' sugar, you got a cute one."

"That's very nice and all but back to the subject on hand. Why weren't we at the wedding?" Everyone looked back at Jess and I, waiting for our answer.

"Well, it was a very small ceremony, we didn't want to make a big deal out of it," I said. "Wasn't even in Connecticut."

"It was very spontaneous," Jess added. "But we really only came here to grab one of Rory's bags that she forgot here earlier. She's moving in with me at my store."

"What about college?" Dean stood up and looked at me. Lindsay was sitting next to him staring at her fiancée probably wondering why he spoke up. I looked at his sister and waved at her.

"I'll be taking online courses," I said.

"For the rest of college?" He asked. I don't get why he was doing this, he already knew about the situation.

"Maybe, it's an option right now," I said. "We really better be going."

"Not so fast young lady. You are just like your mother. The fact is, most of the people in this room have been waiting to see you get married since they met you. And I personally do not think that it is fair none of us got to."

"So what you want a fake ceremony?" I asked jokingly.

"That's exactly what I want," He said. I should know by now never suggest anything to Taylor, even jokingly.

"Fine!" I said. "Mom can plan it. We have to get going though. Can we go now Taylor?" I asked. He smiled satisfied and made a little hand motion for us to move to the back door.

"We need the key," Jess said. My mom got up and threw them at him almost missing. "Thanks."

"We'll leave it under the turtle."

"What turtle?" She asked. "Do we have a turtle? I thought it was a frog."

"Well some kind of animal will have it," Luke said. "Now can we finish this stupid meeting so we can all get out of here?"

"Well fine, we only have one more issue. But before you go, Rory, promise you'll come a visit? Of course with Jess, we want to get to know him."

"Yes Taylor," I said. I turned around and pulled Jess out the door.

"What was that," He asked.

"The traditional town meeting," I said. "Taylor's crazy. Did Luke ever tell you about the time he threw a frying pan at his head?" Jess shook his head. "Oh man you're missing out."

"Well then why don't you just tell me? And what was with that really tall guy, Dean?"

"I have no idea what was going on with him, he seemed fine this morning, well he was thinking about canceling his wedding but other than that he as just fine." That was the end of our conversation. We just drove in silence, grabbed my suitcase and went to the store, all in silence.

"I guess they closed up early today," Jess said pulling out his key. When he was done I grabbed his keychain and took the key off sticking it in my pocket. "I need that."

"I know but I'm going to copy it tomorrow. And I know, you could do it but guys always get the boring keys, you know the plain gold or silver. Never the hearts of smiley faces. I got my rambling skills from my mother."

"I can see that," He said. "While you were checking your room of all your stuff she was going on about shoes and everything her dog is afraid of."

"Sorry," I said. "You'll get used to it. Does everyone live in the same apartment?"

"No, only me. Here you can have the bed."

"No it's your's," I said sitting on the couch.

"I'm not sleeping in it," He said.

"Well neither am I."

"Then who is?" I shrugged. "Will you just get in the stupid bed?" I shook my stupid bed. "Rory Gilmore get your butt in that bed."

"Whatcha gonna do bout it?" I asked. He walked up to me and picked me up easily. "That's not fair." He ignored me and dropped me on the bed.

"Night," He said

"I have to change," I said getting up.

"Fine but your still in the bed," He said. I rolled my eyes and walked into the bathroom with all my stuff.

"Night!"

"Ugh!" I laughed. He's got a lot to get used to.


Well I hope you like it. But, sadly I'm putting this story on hiatus, I just don't have enough time to deal with three stories.
