As they stepped up to Rory's front porch, Rory stopped and sat down.

"Aren't you going in?" he asked as he sat down beside her.

"I don't want to confront her."

"You're going to sooner or later."

"Yeah. How about later?"

"Rory."

"I know."

"Do you want me to go in with you?" he asked hestitantly.

"I actually would but I know how uncomfortable you would be so, no."

"Okay."

"So..."

"Call me later to tell me how it goes, okay?"

"Okay." she said as they leaned in for a kiss. Dean deepened the kiss, bringing Rory closer and holding her neck gently. Their kiss broke as they heard the door open. Lorelai stood with a stern look on her face. The two teens gazed up at her.

"Mom.."

"Dean, I think you should go home. I need to talk to Rory." she said trying not to look straight at him.

Dean stood to leave and walked away as Rory stood face to face with Lorelai, "Mom..what's going on?"

"Do you want to explain to me what these were doing in your dresser drawer?" Lorelai said as she walked inside and held up a box of condoms. Rory looked down at the floor and was silent.

"Are you and Dean..."

Rory didn't want her mother to finish the sentence so she did for her, "Yes. I was going to tell you but I was afraid of what you'd think."

They moved over to the living room and sat down across from each other.

"Well I sure as hell didn't want to find out this way!"

"I'm sorry!"

Lorelai groaned out of frusteration and closed her eyes.

"I know we're talking about Dean here but he...he didn't pressure you..did he?"

"No, not at all."

"Are you sure? Because sometimes it might not seem like it but--"

"Mom. Dean wouldn't do anything like that. Actually, i'm the one who took initiative on the situation." she admitted quietly.

"Oh?" she said shockingly. "I really don't know what to say about this, Rory.."

"You know you don't have to talk to me about this. I'm a big girl." she said with a hint of exageration.

"I know." she said with a smile.

Rory got up and went into her room silently.
Later....
It was night-time by now and Rory already had studied. She wanted to clear her mind so she dressed in some workout clothes and did some excersizes. As she was pulling up for one last sit-up, she heard a tap at her window. Covering her upperbody up self-conciously, wearing only a sports bra and sweatpants, she raised the blinds and saw Dean.
Smiling, she opened the window.

"What are you doing?"

"I didn't know if it was safe to knock on the front door."

"Lorelai took it better than I expected so it would be safe but it doesn't matter anyway, she's at Luke's."

"So she took it well?"

"I think so..she was just upset that I didn't tell her about it before."

"Oh, so can I come in?"

"Oh! Yeah, sorry.." she opened the window a little more and let him step into her room.

"What were you doing before I came?"

"Excersizing.."

"Why?"

Rory gave a smile, "Oh, well you know, prom's coming up and I just have to look my absolute fittest to accept my rightfully owned crown on stage!" she said sarcastically.

Dean laughed, "Well just to let you know, you already have a perfect body." he said pulling her towards him by her tiny waist.

"Is that so?" she asked playfully tilting her head, giving him access to her neck, enjoying the soft kisses he placed.

"Oh, yeah." he said as he brought his lips up to hers. They fell back onto Rory's bed, still kissing hungrily, Dean atop of Rory. She wrapped her arms around his neck to bring him closer. She spoke in between kisses, "You know...if my mom walked in right now.....she'd get the wrong idea."

They broke apart and looked each other in the eyes.

"And what idea would that be?"

Rory spoke with heavy breaths, "Come on, Dean. You know I want this as much as you do but..we can't do this here. Especially since my mom could come home in any second."

"You're right." he said, rolling to his side to face her.

She agreed with a smirk, "I know."

She rolled on top of his body and whispered into his right here, "Although, there are those harmless kisses that I can't live without." She said as she nipped his earlobe.

"Can't live without?" he asked repeating her words.

"Mm-hm." she complied, looking at him now.

"Hold on..." he said as he got up from the bed and moved over to the window. He glanced at Rory and at the window, closing the window and blinds shut, "To be on the safe side."

"Clever boy." she said teasingly. She rose up to her knees still on the bed and met his lips with her own, pressing hard against him. Their hands began to roam around each other's bodies daringly until they heard the front door slam. They broke away and stared at her closed bedroom door. Dean quickly dove under Rory's bed, not wanting to make a scene, and Lorelai walked in seeing Rory staring at her strangely with a smile.

"Hello daughter."

"Hi mom."

"Guess what Luke told me!"

"What?"

"Jess went back to live with his mom."

"Really?!" Rory asked relieved and with a bit of excitement.

"Really."

"Did--he say why?"

Lorelai moved over to Rory's bed and plopped down on it.

"Nope. He didn't even tell Luke in advance...he just came down with his bags, said 'bye', and went to catch the bus."

"Huh...strange."

"Yes. Strange."

"So...what's for dinner?"

"Dinner. Hm, how about.." Lorelai said while slightly bopping up and down on the bed, "pizza?"

"Okay...i'll run and get a movie before the store closes and you order the pizza."

"Okay, you do that.."

"I will." Rory said as she pulled on a shirt overtop of her sports bra.

"So...you never told me...how was it?"

"E-excuse me?"

"You know--with Dean. How was it?"

"How was what?"

"Don't play dumb, Rory. Was it good, bad, 'okay', or world-series level?"

"Mother!" Rory said surprised.

"What?"

"I'm not telling you that."

"I won't leave until you rate it."

"I'm not rating it because I have nothing to compare it to."

"Well for a first time there has to be a rating of how good you thought it was."

"Isn't this breaking some type of rule?"

"What rule?"

"I don't know..mother and daughter should not talk about sex-life."

"Oh..so now you have a sex-life?"

"Ugh! Yes. No. You know what I mean."

"No, I don't and yes we are allowed to discuss these types of things. It's not breaking any type of rule."

"But--"

"I'm not leaving until you just tell me. Either scale 1-10 or bad-to-world series level."

Rory was silent, as if thinking, then said, "It was a 10 and world series level..okay?"

"Oh he got both excellent scores. Huh."

"Yeah."

Lorelai stood up and started for the door, but turned back and said, "Oh..and Dean, would you like to stay for dinner or go right home and avoid the humiliation?"

There was silence, then they heard his voice mumbled from under the bed, "I'd like to avoid the humiliation, please."

Rory let out a sigh and scrunched her face. She looked at her mom, "Is there anyway that I can avoid the humiliation as well?"

"No..no, I don't think so." Lorelai grinned evilly and walked out, closing the bedroom door.

"You can come out now, Dean."

Dean scooched out from under the bed, "How did she know I was here?"

"She's Lorelai..she knows everything."

"Huh."

"Yeha."

They moved closer to each other and Dean leaned down to meet her eyes, "So...world series level, huh?"

Rory smiled wide and hit his arm, "Yeah..."

"I thought so too."

"Good."

"I'll call you later."

"You better." she said, still smiling.

Dean just smiled in return and climbed out the window the way he came in.
================

A/N: Okay, since I made Jess move back with his mom, I might make one or two more parts concluding it all. I already have an idea in mind but it might take a while to write so hold tight.
