Glad so see some of you liked my twist. Hope you enjoy this chapter
Luke was cleaning up as the last of the lunchtime crowd left, when Lorelei arrived.
"Jess not here yet?" She asked as she made her way over the counter.
"Nope," Luke told her, "How's Rory?"
"Freaking out" Lorelei answered, "They're coming down till Monday now, think she needed more time".
"It will all be okay, you know" Luke told her; "He was always going to have to find out".
"I know" Lorelei agreed, "Just worrying about it will all play out".
"He's here" Luke said, suddenly, looking behind Lorelei to a car, which had pulled up by the dinner. Jess got out the car first, and looked around before going to the back seat.
"He looks older," Lorelei commented, "And he has a better car".
Then Sawyer got next and looked around much like Jess did. Sawyer was a very pretty girl with dyed red hair and bright green eyes. She was dressed in dark blue skinny jeans with an old Green Day top and black converse.
"Who is she?" Lorelei asked Luke.
Luke shook his head, "No idea".
"She looks young" Lorelei commented, trying to figure out her connection to Jess.
Jess walked round the car carrying a small blonde child in his arms, he said something to Sawyer that made her smile and the trio headed into the dinner. The bell rang and they entered, Luke and Lorelei stared at them, head full of questions. The door shut behind them.
"Hey, Uncle Luke" Jess greeted, "It's been a while".
No one said anything.
"Congratulations, on the upcoming wedding" Jess added.
Luke and Lorelei still didn't say anything.
"Hello," Sawyer greeted.
"This is Sawyer," Jess introduced, "And this is Charlie".
"Jess, who are they?" Luke asked, not expecting Jess to turn up with two children in tow.
"They're my kids" Jess answered simply.
"Your kids?" Luke questioned, he was in a deep state of shock at this point.
"Yes, my kids" Jess answered again, "I adopted them over a year ago".
"You adopted kids," Lorelei said, trying to make the situation make sense in her head, "You're a father?"
"I try," Jess answered with a smirk.
"You're doing an average job," Sawyer told him with a smile.
"Thanks, can I get that in writing?" Jess asked, "Maybe on a card for father's day".
"We'll see" Sawyer told him playfully.
"Wow" said Lorelei, "This is…"
"I know" Jess agreed, "I hope its alright that I brought them, I kept meaning to bring them down and meet everyone but the adoption had to go through and I had a new book and then we were moving. It got crazy".
"You adopted two kids over a year ago and you are only just telling us now?" Luke exclaimed.
"I was busy" Jess told him.
"Busy!" Luke yelled.
"Dad, I'm hungry," a sleepy Charlie said from Jess' arms.
"I bet you are" Jess said, "You slept most of the way here and missed out on snacks and its way past lunch. I'm sure Luke will make you something?"
"Yes, food" Said Luke, "I can make food,"
"Good, I'll have a burger with fries. Do you want the same, Buddy?" Jess asked Charlie who nodded, "You hungry, Sully?"
"I'd love some Chilly fries" Sawyer said, "And coffee if you have it".
"Coming right up" Luke said as he walked back in the kitchen, looking back at Lorelei, Jess and his kids as he went.
"Should we sit?" Sawyer suggested pointing at the many free tables.
Jess nodded, and sat down with her, placing Charlie on the chair next to him.
"Do you want to join us, Lorelei?" Jess asked, "I'm sure you will have a few questions".
Lorelei snapped out her daze and yelled, "Lukey! I am going to need a burger and fries and the larger cup of coffee you have!"
"You'll kill yourself eating like that!" Luke yelled.
"My choice, Sweets" Lorelei yelled as she sat down at the table, "So you now have two adopted children,"
"Yes, these are Sawyer and Charlie Mariano" Jess introduced, "Guys, this is Lorelei Gilmore she is marrying your…Uncle Luke? Great Uncle Luke?"
"Granddad?" Lorelei supplied.
"Luke's our Granddad?" Charlie asked, "Like a grumpy old man who gives out sweets".
Lorelei smiled at the cuteness of the kid, wondering how Jess won the world most adorable little boy. Charlie was small for his age and had fairly long thick blonde hair and green eyes like his sister "That's no a bad description of Luke you know, only he doesn't give out sweets but burgers and coffee".
"I don't like, coffee" Charlie said in a small voice.
"Oh you will, young grasshopper," Lorelei told him.
"You are not giving my six-year-old son coffee" Jess told her firmly.
"We'll see" Lorelei smiled.
"So is Luke our new granddad then?" Sawyer asked, "Can I call him Grandpa Luke?"
"Oh my God! Please do!" Lorelei squealed, thinking about the luck on Luke's face.
"You'll have to ask Luke?" Jess said, as Luke came over with some drinks.
"Ask me what?" Said Luke.
"What we should call you?" Sawyer asked sweetly.
"Well…erm...Luke?" Luke suggested.
"We were thinking more Granddad Luke or Grandpa Luke" Lorelei told him.
"Well…I'm not really…" Luke said, finding the situation very strange and uncomfortable which only amused Jess and Lorelei even more.
"We've never had a Grandpa before" Sawyer told him.
"Are you our Grandpa?" Charlie asked.
Luke looked at the two children and knew he had no choice in the matter, "Sure, I'm you Grandpa and because I am you're grandpa you can have ice cream after you food, sounds good?"
"Yay!" Charlie cheered
"Thank you, Grandpa Luke" Sawyer smiled, as she took a sip of the coffee "Oh my God this coffee is good".
"That stuff will kill you" Luke told her.
"But I'll die happy" Sawyer retorted.
Luke smiled and headed back to the kitchen.
"So how old are you kids?" Lorelei asked.
"I'm fifteen and my brother has just turned six a couple of weeks ago" Sawyer informed her with a smile.
"And he really is your brother?" Lorelei asked, "I mean biologically".
"Yeah, we share the same DNA" Sawyer answered, "Jess adopted both of together".
"Still find it hard to believe that you are a parent to a teenager and an adorable little boy" Lorelei said to Jess.
"I think it's going to shock a lot of people," Jess told her.
"Yeah it is" Lorelei said as she thought about everyone's reactions, then her eyes lite up and a smile came over her face "Please let me be there when Taylor finds out!"
Jess smiled at this, as Sawyer asked, "Taylor is one of the people we should stay away from right?"
"Yes, avoid him, Kirk and TK" Jess said, as Luke brought the food over and sat down with them.
"Are you are Grandma?" Charlie asked Lorelei.
"What Charlie?" Jess asked.
"Well if Luke is our Grandpa that makes you are Grandma" Charlie explained.
"He's kind of right" Sawyer added, with a smile at the shock on Lorelei's face at being thought of as Grandmother to Jess' children.
"They do have a point," Jess said with a smile.
"So are you?" Charlie asked Lorelei.
"I guess," Lorelei said, "Logically I guess I am, I am you Grandma, but I don't like that name. Call me Grams".
"Grams?" Charlie repeated, "I like it,"
"I haven't had a Grandmother before" Sawyer smiled.
"What about Liz?" Luke asked. "Does Liz know?"
"Nope" Jess told her, "If I hadn't told you do you really think I would have told her".
"Liz is your Mom right?" Sawyer asked.
Jess nodded, "Don't worry Uncle Luke, I will tell her, all though with his town I might not get a chance".
"You will" Luke told him, "She's away with TJ and Doula till the end of next week at one of their fares, they were meant to be away for all of the summer, but are coming back for our wedding".
"That's true," added Lorelei "If Miss Patty knows, so will most of the town with in the hour".
"Is there somewhere for us to stay?" Jess asked.
"I was going to offer you upstairs," Luke told him, "Will you three be alright up there?"
"We will be fine" Jess told Luke, "Thank you".
"And we are more than happy to help you in dinner, Grandpa Luke" Sawyer told him, "Well me and Jess, Charlie's a bit young to be put to work".
"You don't have…" Luke told her before Jess cut him off.
"Its no trouble," Jess said, "We're here for a few weeks and things must be hectic with the wedding coming up?"
"We'll see" Said Luke.
"Jess, you didn't lie this food is so good" Said Sawyer as she took a bite of her burger.
"Told you" Jess said, as he helped Charlie cut up his food.
"I'm going to have to head back to the inn" Lorelei said, "I'll see you at home tonight,"
"Will be home after I close up" Luke told her.
"Good because we need to go over seating charts," Lorelei reminded him.
"We can close up" Jess told Luke, "Let you get out early".
"Are you sure?" Luke asked.
"Positive" Jess answered.
