A/N- Thanks for the reviews! Updates will come pretty regularly now, I was in a full arm cast so typing was kind difficult. I just got a short cast yesterday and I can type with both hands again. Rory and Jess are now six.

Author's POV

Rory and Jess were sitting in their first grade class room on their last day of school before Christmas break. Their teacher was going around the room asking about their Christmas plans.

"Rory, what are you doing for Christmas?" Mrs. Hendricks asked.

"Me, Mommy, Daddy and Jess are going to Washington, D.C to see the Nutcracker!" the girl answered excitedly.

"That sounds like fun! How long will you be there?"

"Two weeks! We're going on a plane! We leave tomorrow!" Rory bounced in her seat. Jess smiled at his best friends enthusiasm.

"That's great kids." She said smiling and skipping over Jess having heard his plans. "What about you, Kayla?"

The Gilmore-Danes House (later that night)

"Hey," Jess greeted as he walked into Rory's bedroom. He plopped down next to her on her bed. "Watcha reading?"

"Charlotte's Web." She rolled over to look at him. "Did you finish packing?"

"Yep, you?"

"Yeah, Mom said it's supposed to snow tonight. You know what that means." She poked him in the ribs and smiled.

"A midnight trip to the bridge." She nodded and scooted closer to him. He pulled her even closer, resting his hands on her lower back. "So, we should sleep now." She nodded again. Several hours later Jess gently shook her. "Ror, it's time to go for a walk. Look outside." He whispered.

She rolled over and out the window. Snow had begun to fall, in big flakes. Rory grabbed his arm. "Come on!" she walked over to her closet and pulled out her snow boots. The two kids snuck out the window. Rory held onto Jess' hand as they walked through the deserted town. Jess brushed the snow off the bridge so they could sit. He held her close keeping them both warm.

"Are you excited about tomorrow?" Jess asked.

"Yeah, but I'm kinda scared to go on the plane." She admitted resting her head on his shoulder.

"It's gonna be okay. I'll hold your hand." he promised.

"Okay." She agreed. The two kids sat and watched the snow fall for a little longer before heading back home and falling asleep next to each other.

A/N- So I decided to break this part into a couple chapters. The next one should be up tomorrow. Review!
