Disclaimer: I do not own ANY of the Gilmore Girls characters. I wish I could at least meet them!! To own Jess would be even better!! (yummy!!) lol….I only own Jerry and Jenny. Anywayz…I really hope that no one directly copies and pastes my story. I had a little mix up with that situation already. If you do want to use my idea please tell me.
Now…on with the story!!!
Chapter 10- Oh wow, its you
Rory woke up on December 25th to the smell of something burning. 'oh no' she thought and got out of bed, walking out of her room and into the kitchen.
"Are you trying to cook again?" Rory asked her mother who was busy with the pancake mix and the mini stove.
"Shhh I think its working this time." Lorelai said and Rory rolled her eyes with a smile on her face.
Every year on Christmas day Lorelai would get up early and try to make breakfast for Rory but 'try' was the key word. Everytime Rory would ask her mother if she was cooking Lorelai would answer with her yearly, "ssshhhh I think its working this time" but it never did. Every year Lorelai would try and every year she would give up and they would go to Luke's. It was a routine that Rory learned to live by.
"Luke's?" Rory suggested, already knowing her mother's answer.
Lorelai looked up, an 'I'm sorry' look on her face. Rory nodded showing that it was alright and Lorelai took off her apron.
"Get ready," she said "Lets go have some real food."
***********************************************
"Jess get up I need you for the breakfast crowd." Luke said as he nudged Jess' sleeping figure.
"One more minute" Jess said holding up 1 finger.
Luke sighed…just like the olden days.
"NOW JESS!"
Jess jumped and his eyes flew open.
"Alright, alright…no need to shout."
Jess threw on a shirt as Luke made his way downstairs. If Jess remembered correctly, there would be exactly 5 minutes before Luke yelled at him again. Still tired, he went to the bathroom, fixed his hair and went downstairs rubbing his eyes as he went.
********************************************
"You ready yet?" Rory called up the stairs to her mother.
Lorelai walked down the stairs in a pair of jeans and a nice turtle neck sweater. Rory looked on the table or Lorelai's keys but she couldn't find them.
"Where's your keys mom?" she asked, moving some things on the table to see if they were hidden. Lorelai lightly slapped her fingers.
"Don't touch mommy's mail." She said. "I moved the keys, follow me."
Lorelai led Rory into the kitchen. Rory followed, wondering why her mother's keys would be in the kitchen. Lorelai opened the oven and pulled out her keys, putting a confused look on Rory's face.
"Since when do you keep your keys in the oven?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well I figured we didn't use it much anyway," Lorelai shrugged and walked back into the entrance to get her shoes and coat. Rory shrugged and followed her.
"Wanna have a movie night tonight?" Lorelai suggested as the Gilmore girls walked through Stars Hollow to the diner.
"Sounds great." Rory said nodding. "Why don't I go pick out a movie and u order me some pancakes at Luke's?"
Lorelai nodded, giving her daughter a quick kiss on her cheek before they went their separate ways.
*******************************************
Lorelai took a seat at a table. The diner was pretty empty this morning, families were probably at home celebrating Christmas. Jess walked down the stairs and caught a glimpse of Lorelai sitting at a table. He took a deep breath and walked out from behind the curtain. It seemed to him that as soon as he was in sight, she saw him and eyed him the entire time. He went to make some coffee, so that he wouldn't have to look at her. He knew she was mad, she had a right to be mad.
The bell on the diner door jingled and in walked a brunette girl. Her hair was short, and flipped out at the sides, her eyes a light green.
She walked up to the counter where Jess was still making coffee.
"I hear the coffee's good around here." She said, leaning a bit forward on the counter.
Jess looked up from his task. He knew that voice, he knew it well. He spun around and his lips formed a smile as he said, "Gwen??" and went around the counter.
Lorelai just watched.
"Hi Jess." Gwen said, making a small wave.
"What are you doing here?" Jess asked, not even bothering to wave back.
"I thought I'd come visit you, thought you might want a bit of good company on Christmas. Cause we all know that Uncle Luke isn't the best of company. Plus I haven't seen you in a while."
Jess smiled.
"Want some coffee?"
"I do."
"Wait a sec."
"Thanks."
**********************************************
Rory walked into the diner clutching Kill Bill Volume 1 in her hand. It just came out so she was sure her mother hadn't seen it yet, plus she loved Uma Thurman. The bell rang its usual ring and of course, Rory's eyes were drawn to the counter first, where a brunette was sitting having some coffee. She smiled, probably a new person into town.
Rory looked to where her mother was sitting and held up the movie as she walked over to Lorelai.
"Oooh what is it?" Lorelai asked, taking the movie. She opened it.
"UMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" she shrieked causing the girl at the counter to look at them awkwardly. Rory gave an apologetic look to her and the girl turned back to her coffee.
************************************************
Jess walked out of the kitchen to Gwen, who smiled when she noticed him. He set a plate a burger and fries in front of her.
"Thanks" she said.
"No problem." He replied leaning on the counter. She took a fry and ate it.
"So..those two in the corner were makin' a bit of noise…is that okay?"
Jess looked up to where Gwen was motioning and his eyes widened. There was Rory, happily sitting with her mother. He didn't know why he was so surprised that she was in Stars Hollow for Christmas but he was surprised all the same. He held up a finger to Gwen, signaling her to wait a minute and picked up his notepad to take their orders.
"What can I get you guys?" he asked, causing Rory to look up quickly at the sound of his voice. She smiled.
"Hey Jess."
"Rory. Lorelai."
The phone to the diner rang and Jess went to get it.
"Hello? Hi Luke…yea…yea everything's fine…yea she's here…yea wait. Lorelai, Luke wants you."
Lorelai walked to the phone and took it.
"Thanks Jess." She said as he walked back to Rory.
************************************************************
"Hi Lukey..what's up?"
"Hey Lorelai…I just wanted to know which colour paint you wanted for the Inn."
"Ohh…umm..that purple colour…C120 I think it was called."
"They don't have that colour, I checked."
"Oh well then get the…wait a minute…what phone are you using?"
"The place has a phone Lorelai."
"Luke, you seriously need a cell phone. When's your birthday?"
