Boy, this was a crappy week, wasn't it? You know Facebook? MY ACCOUNT WAS HACKED BY A VIRUS! Yeah, so I had to go through deleting everything and it was so annoying. People are mad at me because the virus got to their computers too! I was so mad. But I'll stop boring you with what's going on in my life and start the chapter...Happy Fourth of July. I'm Beta Reader now! Accepting requests :)

Jess and Rory arrived right on time at their new apartment building by Yale and saw Luke waiting in his truck, ready to go.

"Hey Uncle Luke!" Jess grinned.

Luke rolled his eyes.

"Hi Luke!!" Rory said and ran over and hugged him.

"Hey Rory!" He smiled and hugged her back.

Rory pulled away and went back to the car to help Jess start taking boxes down. Luke followed.

"Wow, what's with all the boxes?"

"They're mostly books." Rory grinned, handing Luke four boxes.

"Geez!" Luke grunted under the weight.

Jess smiled innocently. "Aw, are the books to heavy?" He asked, as if he was talking to a baby.

Luke straightened up. "I'm fine."

"Sure you are Uncle Luke." Jess grinned taking six boxes and closing the car door.

Rory laughed and pulled out the two duffel bags and slung them onto her shoulder. She then took out three boxes and followed Jess into the building.

Luke, amazed at her strength followed.

"Excuse me?" Rory asked the receptionist.

"Yes?"

"I'm Rory Gilmore, this is my fiance Jess Mariano. We called yesterday for apartment 32B?"

"Hmm, yes. I have your papers right here. I'll need someone to sign."

Jess nodded and set the boxes he was holding down. He took the pen from the holder and scribbled his signature onto the papers.

"And the check?"

Rory nodded and set a box down and pulled out the check from her pocket and handed it to her.

"Thank you, here is your key. Welcome to Smithsonian Housing."

"Thanks!" Rory smiled took the key and picked up the box. She followed Jess to the elevator and Luke followed her.

Once inside, Jess hit the 5th floor button and they were going up.

The bell rang when they reached their floor and Rory ran out and down the hall, in search of the apartment. "Jess! Luke! Here it is!" She shouted down the hall and dropped the boxes she was holding and jammed the key into the lock. She turned it and threw the door open.

"How's it look?" Jess asked coming up behind her.

Rory didn't respond, she just picked up the boxes again and ran inside.

"Jess! It's ours!" She grinned and dropped the boxes on the hardwood floor and threw her arms around Jess, who dropped two boxes in shock.

"Wow, nice pick." Luke said putting his boxes down. "Well, I'll go down and get the other boxes." He said clapping his hands together.

Rory and Jess nodded. "I'll come." Jess said.

"I'll start unpacking. Oh my gosh look! There are bookshelves lining the rooms! It's like they knew we were going to move in!"

Jess laughed and kissed Rory on the cheek then followed Luke back down.

Rory collapsed on the polished oak floor and smiled. A thought occurred to her and she pulled out her phone.

"Mom?"

"Loin Fruit?"

"Mom! Jess and I, we got a place by Yale!"

"Ooo. That sounds cool!"

"Yeah, can I come by later to get my car?"

"Sure!"

"Mom?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay? You sound distant."

"I-I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, don't worry about me. How does the new place look?"

"It's, it's to perfect to describe."

"Wow, must be some place."

"Yeah, it is. New building. I think we're the first people to move in."

"Wow."

"Yeah. Mom, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, what is it honey?"

"Can you tell grandma that Jess and I were hoping to have a wedding with Liz and TJ? It's a day before then what they were planning, but Jess really wanted to-"

"Sure honey, I'll-I'll tell her."

"Thanks mom. I hear Jess and Luke coming back so I'm going to go, so I can help."

"Okay, you need anything just give me a call."

"I will."

"Bye babe."

"Bye mom."

Rory hung up and got up to help bring in the boxes with Luke and Jess.

She took three boxes off of Jess' pile and set them aside and then took three off of Luke's.

"Is there anything more?"

"Nope, that was it."

"Wow, seemed alot more when we were packing the car."

"Alright then, so I'll go get the mattress and come back-"

"That's a four hour drive." Jess said eyeing Luke.

"I can manage-"

"Luke, Jess. Let me take you guys to lunch."

"What?"

"Yeah, I know this area, since I go to school a mile and half away. Luke, after you've eaten and relaxed for a bit you can go."

"Um, yeah. Okay."

"Great! Come on, I know this great Chinese place. We'll unpack when we get back."

"We'll need furniture too."

"Well I can get stuff from my Yale dorm, so that's some things. Paris won't mind, she'll be happy to have more room to do things."

"Such as?"

Rory shrugged. "Who know what Paris does when no ones around? All I know is that the room is a mess alot when I come home."

Jess and Luke chuckled and the trio left, Rory carefully closing the door and locking it.

"By the way Jess," Rory whispered catching up to him. "My mom said she'll talk to my grandma about the wedding. We can have it with Liz and TJ."

Jess grinned. "Sweet."

Lorelai didn't know how to tell Emily that her grand daughter would be marrying in Stars Hollow, by the Gazebo with her mother in law. She figured straight out would be the best way.

She dialed her parents house and waited for someone to answer.

"Hello, Gilmore Residence." A small voice answered.

"Hi, I'm Lorelai. Can I talk to My mom?"

"Yes, hold on."

The next voice was Emily's, and she did not sound pleased.

"This call better be to tell me that Rory and Jess aren't getting married-"

"Mom! Would you stop with that already? Do you want Rory's kid to grow up without a father?"

That fact shut Emily up.

"What is it Lorelai?"

"Rory wanted me to tell you that she and Jess will be having their wedding with Jess' mother - Liz - and TJ."

Emily was silent.

"When and where will this wedding be?"

"The twenty first in Stars Hollow."

"Fine then." Emily snapped and slammed the phone down.

"Mom, you didn't hang up."

Emily rolled her eyes and put the phone onto it's base.

That went well... Compared to how it could've gone. Lorelai thought and turned her phone off.

After lunch, Rory took Jess and Luke around the campus and the places to visit close to the campus. Finally, Luke felt he should go and get the mattress.

Jess and Luke left in Luke's truck at 7:00PM and Rory took Jess' car back to Stars Hollow to get her car. Lorelai drove behind her in her car, while Rory took Jess'.

"Mom, I can't wait for you to see the apartment!" Rory squealed when they were heading up. "It's perfect."

She ran down the hall and unlocked the door.

"Ready?"

"Go for it kid!"

"Ta-da!" Rory said throwing the door open.

"Whoa. This is nice. Alot nicer than the Yale dorm."

Rory nodded. "It's like.. everything is falling into place."

"Well then you'll be excited to hear this next news!" Lorelai said grinning.

"What?"

"Emily's fine with you and Jess marrying with TJ and Liz!"

Rory grinned. "Yay! Thanks mom!" She threw her arms around Lorelai and laughed.

The mother and daughter started to unpack all the things, Rory had gone up to Yale and gotten her books and clothes. They went out into the shops around the building and bought pillows, blankets, bean bag chairs, lamps and anything you could find in a house. They ordered pizza for dinner and by the time Jess and Luke got back around 11:30, most of the things were unpacked.

"Hey Lorelai." Luke said kissing her on the cheek.

"Hi Luke! You hungry?"

"Starved!" Jess answered and saw the empty pizza box on the floor.

"We got two pizzas." Rory smiled and walked into the kitchen and brought out the second box.

"Awesome." Jess said and took the box from her and he and Luke began eating.

"Here's some soda." Lorelai said throwing each of them a can.

"Wow, Luke's eating pizza and drinking soda!" Rory laughed.

"I have to die eventually. Plus I'm starved."

Lorelai grinned. "I knew you'd learn sooner or later."

Luke didn't respond. He just chewed.

"Why don't you and Luke stay the night mom?" Rory offered.

"Well I don't mind, Sookie won't let me work. Luke?"

Luke shrugged. "I guess I could call Cesar and ask him to take over for a while."

"Great!" Rory smiled.

"Hey, do you need help getting furniture from Yale?" Luke asked through a mouthful.

Rory shook her head. "I called the movers-"

"They totally rip you off!" Luke exclaimed.

"Oh, well-"

"I'll go get your furniture in the morning. I'll get a truck myself and do it."

"Luke, it's not that much...a couch and a few tables."

"Ah, then I can get it in my own truck"

"Luke, really it's fine-"

"Let the man help!" Jess said, rolling his eyes.

"Oh, okay then."

They only had the one mattress, so Lorelai decided to make it like camping and threw down some of the pillows and blankets and no one slept on the mattress. They were all so tired they slept like logs on the floor.

The next day was a little hectic. Jess and Luke went up to Yale and got Rory's things out, while Rory and Lorelai went shopping for kitchen items, things for the baby (even though it was early, Lorelai could not resist the cute packaging around the toys) and set up the house.

Around 3:00PM, all the things from Rory's dorm were in the new apartment, and Rory had called and told Paris what was going on. She was thrilled to have her own dorm, but a little dissapointed when she found out about Jess.

Lunch was a mix of all the different restaurants they had seen and when Lorelai and Luke went back to Stars Hollow, Jess and Rory knew they were going to be happy in this apartment.

Sucky, I know and I'm sorry. CH 29 and 30 are the last two chapters :( I hate to see this story end. I've used up most of my good ideas here! I'm thinking of posting the epilouge at the end of CH 30. Tell me what you think in a review?
