Title: The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Learn

Category: Gilmore Girls

Pairing: Rory and Jess mostly, some Luke and Lorelai.

Rating: K+

Summary: Rory is marring Logan… at least until she receives an early wedding present signed 'Jess Mariano' and catches Logan being unfaithful. Complete Fluff. The lives of Rory and Jess, kids and all. Some Java Junkie too, but Literati all the way!

Situation: Everything that was on the show happened, except for Rory sleeping with married Dean a week after Jess asks her to leave with him. She really doesn't deserve Jess. I turned off the TV and didn't watch Gilmore Girls for a month. It was that devastating.

Disclaimer: Later in the story there might be some quotes, so just to be safe, I DO NOT own anything related to Gilmore Girls except Seasons 1-6 on DVD and a deep desire to own Milo Ventimiglia.

Theme: "The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Learn is Just to Love, and Be Loved in Return" Baz Luhrmans' 'Moulin Rouge'

Jess stared with open eyes at Rory, who was in the delivery room. She kept fainting and coming back, but nothing was happening yet. She seemed to be in great agony, but instead of screaming, silent tears rolled down her cheeks. Jess held back his own tears, he had to be strong for her, for him, for his kids, who were about to be born.

"Mr. Mariano?" the doctor asked Jess.

"Yes? Doctor, is there anything wrong? She's been in labor for I don't even know how many hours."

"There might be, if we don't take her in immediately for a C-Section."

"Okay." Said Jess, now petrified beyond recognition. He followed the nurses as they wheeled out Rory from the room. She woke up and looked around frantically.

"We're going to have to do a C-Section Mrs. Mariano. Sorry Mr., you cannot come in." At this, Rory began to cry harder than before.

"Jess. No. Jess, please. I can't do this alone. Please! Don't leave me alone. Please, Jess, Please!" she sobbed as she grabbed his hand and pulled him close to her so that they were face-to-face.

"Rory. Listen. I'm going to be right out here, outside this door." He responded, stroking her hair.

"No, Jess, No. I can't…" she cried as she stroked his face in return. He began to cry too.

"Yes you can. Rory, yes you can."

"Jess! I need you! I'm not strong…or…or brave or anything like that!" She cried.

"Well Rory, you're going to have to be. For me, for you, for our kids. Promise me Rory. Promise me right now that you're going to be strong."

"I promise. I love you Jess." She said softly through tears.

"I love you too." He said, as he rested his forehead against hers.

"Sir, we have to…" interrupted the doctor.

"It's going to be okay." He whispered to her, kissing her on the forehead as she nodded and was wheeled away into the room. While she was in the room, Jess paced right outside the door. He had already called Luke and Lorelai, and they were on their way. Christopher and the elder Gilmore's would come to visit later, as would Paris, Lane and the other family friends. Jess looked around as he wearily saw Luke and Lorelai approach him.

"Hey. What happened? Are Rory and the kids alright?" asked Lorelai, clearly on the verge of tears.

"I don't know. She was in labor for like fourteen hours and then they took her in for a C-Section about half an hour ago. I'm going crazy. I don't know how any thing is going…I'm just standing out here like freaking' Betty Crocker waiting for her cake to finish baking." Finished Jess, who was about to explode.

"Did you put your Buns in the Oven?" Lorelai offered.

"Not funny." Said Jess seriously. Lorelai smiled sympathetically and rubbed the side of his arm gently.

"Call me on my cell if you hear anything. I'm going to go down and get some coffee." She exited through the doors as Jess stared aimlessly at the floor.

"You're going to be a dad." Luke said.

"That's the thing. I'm not sure that I am." Said Jess, his eyes watery. Luke affectionately slapped the side of Jess' face and neck.

"Don't worry. It's going to be fine." Jess and Luke embraced, as the father Jess never had and the son Luke had always wanted. Jess looked up as Paris walked in.

"Hey! What's with all the wait?"

"There were some complications and Rory went in for a C-Sec."

"It's just like you to conceive rebel children who do not want to be born. They just know what's in store for them with the two nut job parents they have."

"Sir? You can come in now." Said the doctor. Jess jumped towards the door and raced in.
