Takes place right at the end of "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels" Jess and Rory are leaving together...will it be forever?

I really appreciate all the reviews. Like I said, each meeting with Jess and Rory will start a new story, and I'm laying down the ground work for the next one. It'll be in the same story, just taking place within chapters. But that does not mean this story is close to being over - believe me. It's far from it. :) Adding this chapter tonight, because tomorrow I will be REALLY busy with finals and all that...yeah. They start Thursday! But then SUMMER!!! :)

Disclaimer: I should've mentioned this before, I do not own the show or characters of the show. Any characters that have not appeared at this point in the show but appear later (Logan, Gigi, April etc.) Will not appear in the first story. Any other characters I do own (Such as Mark.) Any songs I do own, unless of course I say otherwise.

"Marriage?" Liz asked.

TJ nodded. "I don't have a ring right now...It, it just hit me. Just now. When you told me you loved the bridge. I don't know why it hit me then, but it did." He sat down beside her and took her hands into his.

"Liz, I love you. And I want to spend the rest of forever with you."

Liz blushes and smiles.

"Is that a yes?" TJ asks hopefully.

Liz nods. tears coming into her eyes. "Yes. It's a yes." She throws her arms around his neck and kisses him.

"Lorelai, what are you-"

"Luke please! No pointless questions!"

"Pointless? Lorelai, you're standing in my doorway wearing a coat, sweat pants and a hoodie. What are you doing here?"

"Luke!" Lorelai smiled, out of breath.

Luke smiled back, despite the fact that Lorelai was dressed the way she was, and her hair was windblown, she looked beautiful to him.

"Luke." Lorelai breathed again before collapsing tiredly into his arms.

Rory and Jess lay next to each other, holding hands and panting slightly. They had finished about twenty minutes ago and now they were just lying talking about other things. As if nothing ever happened. Finally, Rory couldn't take it anymore.

"Thank you Jess." She nuzzled into his side.

"For what? I've been waiting to do that myself..." He let out a small laugh and wrapped his other arm around her.

"I love you."

"I love you too." Jess spoke into her hair and the two drifted off to sleep.

---

Luke didn't know what to do. She had fallen into his arms, after saying his name repeatedly. Was everything okay? She looked like she was about to cry...

Luke gently picked Lorelai up and went and laid her down on the bed. He then took the phone and dialed Rory's cell phone.

"Hello?" A voice answered sleepily.

"Rory? It's Luke."

"Hi Luke..." her words turned into a yawn.

"Are you tired?"

"What?" Rory asked confused.

"Nothing, never mind. Hey, is your mom okay?"

"Mom?!" Rory quickly became alert.

"What is it?" A voice asked sleepily in the background.

Probably Jess. Luke thought.

"Yeah, Rory. Your mom came here a few minutes ago and she looekd upset..or excited...or something. She kept saying my name and was smiling-"

"Nothing's wrong with her Luke!" Rory said as if it was supposed to be obvious.

"Then what is it?" Luke asked, confused.

"She...I don't know how to say it. But she wants to be with you."

"Oh." Luke smiled. "Thanks Rory."

"Umm...you're welcome?" She said confused.

Luke hung up and turned to face Lorelai. He smiled and went and tucked her in.

He had finished getting ready for bed himself - he was planning to hit the couch - when Liz's voice came through the floor.

"Luke!" She called happily from the Diner.

Luke hurried downstairs and flew into the Diner.

"Liz, Liz what is it?" He asked worriedly.

"I'm engaged big brother!" Liz cried happily and threw her arms around Luke.

"You-what-Oh my god-That's great! Where's TJ?"

"He's out, looking for a ring." Liz smiled. "Don't I just have the best guy?" She asked dreamily.

Luke smiled. "Yeah, he's perfect for you."

"So what about YOU big brother? Find the one for you yet?"

Luke shrugged. "Maybe." He said and told her the story of what just happened with Lorelai.

---

"Who was that?" Jess asked pulling Rory back into his arms.

"It was Luke...he was really worried about my mom-"

"Is she okay?"

Rory smiled. "Yeah. She's going to be great."

"You wanna go back to sleep?"

Rory nodded and sunk into his arms and drifted back to sleep.

"Lane! Help me move Brians box of comic books!" Zach called.

"Coming!" Lane grinned and pelted out of her new bedroom and outside. Just last night I was telling Lorelai about this idea! And now...

"Grab it from there." Zach instructed.

Lane nodded and complied.

"Where do you want it?!" Zach asked Brian, who was hooking up the television set.

"Anywhere. It doesn't matter."

Zach and Lane dropped it where they stood.

"Watch it!" Brian said.

"Hey, you said anywhere." Zach pointed out and collasped on the sofa he and Brian had moved in earlier.

"Wheres Gil?" He asked grabbing a Pepsi from the box that had been left on the ground.

"With his family. It's his daughters birthday." Brian answered plugging some wires in.

"Dude! What about band practice?" Zach asked, obviously still annoyed that there was a married guy in the band.

"Well Zach, his family does come first..." Lane muttered quietly.

"This is what we get for letting a married guy in the band!" Zach exclaimed, taking a sip from his can.

Lane shrugged. "Okay you guys, I'm going to go and finish unpacking my room. If you need me-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Zach waved a hand at her.

Lane turned away, slightly insulted. She marched back to her room and closed the door.

She leaned her back against it and grinned. Hey, it was better than nothing, wasn't?

Once again, reviews are never required, but are always greatly appreciated.
