"Lane! Everyone's going to start arriving in like, fifteen minutes!" Rory cried out nervously looking at the clock behind the desk at the Hummingbird.
"Don't worry, everything is under control." Jess said rubbing her tense shoulders.
"We haven't seen some of these people in like, 20 years!" Lane cried
"I can't wait to see the trio. I wonder what they've been up to." Rory wondered out loud
"The trio?" Jess asked
"Paris, Madeleine, and Louise." She replied
The Door to the Inn opened and Tristan walked in with a woman with shoulder length blonde hair, and a girl with long blonde hair and brilliant blue eyes.
"Hey Rory, hope we aren't late." He said as he walked over with who Rory assume to be his family
"I'm Jackie." The woman introduced herself
"Its nice to meet you." Rory said
"This is our daughter Mary." Tristan said introducing the girl to Rory.
"It's nice to meet you Mary." Rory smiled at the name
"I think part of the reason we named her Mary was because of you!" Jackie winked at Rory
"Well let me introduce you to everyone!" Rory said
"This is my best friend Lane." She said as Lane came over and greeted everyone.
"This is my husband Jess, I think you two know each other." She said to Tristan as Jess came over and took her hand.
"Where are the kids?" she asked
"They're coming." He replied looking at Tristan
"How have you been?" he asked Tristan
"Things are good." He replied
"Oh, here they are." Rory said as her three kids entered the lobby.
"This is Luke, he's sixteen, this is Laura, fourteen, and this is Michelle, who is eleven." She smiled as they all said hi.
"This is my daughter, Mary." Jackie told the kids.
Just then three women entered the inn.
"Oh my g-d! Paris, Madeleine, and Louise?" Rory and Tristan ran to greet them, followed by Jess and Jackie.
Nobody saw the looks of interest being passed between Luke and Mary.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Rory?" the women asked?
"I'm so happy you guys came!" she said hugging them
"Tristan?" they asked
"Hey, nice to see you guys again."
"Guess we better introduce everyone again." Rory said laughing
"This is my wife, Jackie." Tristan explained
"And this is my husband Jess." She said
"Wow, so you ended up marrying Jess, huh?" Paris asked
"Guess we owe Paris twenty bucks." Louise sighed as she and Madeleine each handed over the money.
"What are you talking about?" Rory asked
"Oh, we all bet on who you would marry." Paris explained
"Yea, I thought you and Tristan were gonna get married." Madeleine said.
"I thought you and the tall guy would get married." Louise said slyly.
Rory laughed. "Nope, Jess is the one for me." She said leaning her head on his shoulder.
"So who else is coming from Chilton?" Louise asked
"Oh, a bunch of people. I'm not sure about Stars Hollow High though. Lane? Who's coming from SHH?" she asked
"Lots of people! The cheerleading squad, Jess is here, Dean, everyone!" she cried
Rory turned white. "You invited Dean?" she asked
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The kids had been talking for quite awhile.
"I have to go help mom and Lane out." Laura said getting up
"Me too! She said I could be a helper too!" Michelle said following her big sister.
"So, you want a tour of Stars Hollow?" Luke asked
"Sure, let me just go tell my parents." She agreed
"Okay so first stop, the center of town. That's Luke's Diner, my grandfather. That's Doose's market, the music shop." he pointed everything out to her.
"Wow, it's a cute little town." She remarked as they continued walking.
"This is my house. My mom grew up here." He said as they walked onto the porch and sat down.
"I wish I lived in a town like this. It sounds so interesting and unique."
"It is, where do you live again?" he asked
"We live in Boston. It's so busy around there. Maybe I could convince my parents to move here." She said looking around.
"That would be cool." He said
Mary blushed.
"So, do you like reading? She asked ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, everyone was staring at Rory, wondering what the big deal of Dean coming was. Only one person knew the truth. Jess.
FLASHBACK
It was the beginning of senior year, Rory had just come home from Washington.
"We need to talk Dean."
"Yea, we do. Are we going to see a movie, or going out to dinner?"
"Dean, please just listen to me."
"Okay, go ahead."
"I think we should break up."
"What?" he cried
"Dean, you heard me, I think we need to break up."
"Rory, what the hell? This is because of Jess isn't it?" he cried angrily
"I'm sorry Dean."
"Not as sorry as I am." He slapped her across the cheek, hard, and turned and walked away.
That was the last time they had spoken.
END OF FLASHBACK
The group looked curiously at Rory and Jess.
"He hit her." He explained wrapping his arms around Rory protectively.
"Don't worry. If he pulls anything, I'll kill him." He whispered softly.
Rory nodded and tried her best to regain her composure.
"Let me show you to your rooms." She said getting the keys from behind the desk, where Lorelai and Courtney were filling papers out. "Mom, everyone is here. Come say hi." Rory said
She brought Lorelai over who met everyone, and gave Rory the keys for the rooms.
As soon as Rory handed out the keys to everyone, the front door opened, and in walked Dean.
"Rory!" he called as he made his way over to her.
Jess grabbed her hand and held it protectively as Dean approached them.
"Hi Dean." She said
"Dean." Jess said coldly
"Whats he doing here?" Dean asked Rory
"This is my husband."
