Lorelai opened her front door and flung her arms around Rory. "Hey Hun. Glad you're here. Lexie is very excited about this weekend". Rory smiled.
"Good because I have lots of activities planned".
"You made a list didn't you" Lorelai asked smiling. Rory did her best to look indignant.
"I did not make a list". Logan came up behind her with their bags.
"She made a very long list. Hi Lorelai".
"Ha I knew it. See how well I know you daughter. Hi Logan. I was really sorry to hear about your Grandfather".
"Thanks"
"So err…let's go inside".
As soon as they were all seated in the living room with refreshments, Luke kissed his wife and said his goodbyes to everyone before heading off to the Diner. Lexie smiled at Logan which made him blush slightly. Lorelai and Rory exchanged amused glances before Lexie took it upon herself to crawl up onto her big sisters lap. "We're gonna have fun this weekend Rory. I wrote a list of things for us to do". A smile creped onto Logan's face as he realized that in a lot of way's Lexie was a clone of Rory. The same dark features and perfect face, same out going if not somewhat crazy personality, which they both got from their mother, and their bond was amazing to watch. He realized Lorelai must have the same feeling because she was sat watching them interact with a broad smile on her face and a loving look in her eyes.
"So", Lorelai interrupted, "You and Logan should get settled and then maybe a little later we could go get Dinner at the Diner? Luke's working late tonight".
"Sounds good". Rory smiled and reached for her hold all before being stopped in her tracks by her little sister.
"Logan, where are you gonna sleep"?
"Logan…is going to sleep on the couch. Right guys"? Lorelai offered.
"Absolutely", Rory and Logan both blurted in unison.
"Okay Lex, let's go get changed". As Lorelai made her way out of the living room holding her daughters hand, she smiled back at Rory and Logan. "Just don't make too much noise when you sneak into the guest room with Rory later on. Lex is a light sleeper".

Jess breezed into the Diner around 5pm and sat at the stool he had been occupying most afternoons whilst catching up with Luke. He ordered a coffee and noticed his uncle coming towards him. "Hey Luke. Where've you been?"
"Oh just upstairs, I was getting my old hold all. Lorelai and I are leaving tomorrow and I still need to pack when I get home later on".
"So what do you keep up there these days"?
"Oh I use it for storage mostly. You could always crash up there if you wanted. You don't have to stay with your Mom", Luke smirked. He knew all too well the strain of having to spend longer than a few minutes around TJ and he guessed Doula had inherited her Fathers hyperactivity, especially when he saw the boisterous child playing with Lexie. Although he couldn't exactly say that Lexie was the most docile child, he loved her clumsy out going nature. Just like Lorelei.
"That could actually work, if you don't mind".
"Not at all bring your stuff round later on before I leave and I'll give you a set of keys".
"Thanks Luke".
"You know I would have offered to let you stay at the house but there's not much room with Rory and Logan visiting for the weekend".
"Logan huh"? Jess was suddenly interested.
"Yeah. I think he and Rory are getting quite serious. I didn't take to him when I met him but he seems to make her happy and I guess he's grown up a lot".
"Yeah I guess. Well I'm going to grab my things and I'll be back soon. See you later".

Rory and Logan entered Luke's at 6pm and Lorelai and Lexie followed behind. They grabbed their table near the window and and waited to be served.
"This is a nice little place", Logan observed. "I remember when you brought me here on my first trip to Stars Hollow. All I seem to remember id a weekend full of hay". Rory and Lorelai laughed in unison.
"That's the magic of Stars Hollow", Rory said. "Now, I could kill for a cheese burger. Where's Luke"?
"I'll go see. He might be upstairs". Lorelai left the table and scooted off through the door that led to the upstairs apartment. Lexie then decided to take over the conversation reminiscing about her day at Kindergarten. Both Rory and Logan were listening intently when they were distracted. Jess entered the diner with his carry case and darted a smile towards their table. Just then Lorelai and Luke both appeared and took their seats.
"Hey Jess. Upstairs is ready for you. You want to join us for dinner first", Luke offered oblivious. Lorelai cast a worried glance at her daughter but just then Jess declined.
"I'll eat later but thanks. I'm going to go get settled in upstairs".
Fifteen minutes later they were all sat with their plates of food in front of them but Rory couldn't eat. What the hell did Jess think he was doing here? She had to find out. "I'll be right back. She smiled at Logan and patted his arm and then excused herself and headed upstairs. She banged on the door to Luke's old apartment and Jess answered the door wearing a pair of jeans and nothing else. He smiled at Rory and moved aside to let her in. She barged past him. "What the hell are you doing here Jess? How long have you been in Stars Hollow? Did you know I was going to be here? Better yet, sis you know Logan was going to be here"?
"Okay, one question at a time. "I didn't know okay. I got here a few say's ago. Luke said you'd be watching Lexie over the weekend. I thought maybe we could hang out and talk about what happened".
"Jess I told you what happened. It was a mistake. I love Logan. I'm finally happy. Did you think you could sweep me off my feet in two days?"
"Maybe". He sighed and turned away and then out of nowhere rushed forward and planted hid lips on Rory's, wrapping his arms around her waist, as if binding her to him once and for all.
"What the hell are you doing"? Came Logan's angry voice. Rory managed to push Jess away and swiveled round to see Logan standing in the doorway. Before she had chance to speak, Logan came rushing forward and before she knew it, Logan's fist had connected with Jess' jaw and he was lying on the floor.
