A/N: Thanks for all your reviews. I love whoever reviewed! ( Mecca, you crack me up.

"Um, hi Dean. Can I get you anything?" Lorelai asked

"No, I'm here to talk to Rory." He said glaring at Jess who jumped up.

"Fine Dean. I'll talk to you." She said quietly

"Okay, let's go outside." He said

"Do you want me to come Ror?" Jess asked

"I'll be okay."

Rory and Dean walked outside.

"Watch out Jess, I don't trust him." Lorelai said.

"Me either."

Outside

"Okay, I'm talking to you, now tell me what you have to say so I can go back inside." Rory said

"Rory, I love you. It hurts me to see you with Jess. I can't believe you married him. Did our long relationship mean nothing?" he asked sounding hurt

"Dean! It was 20 years ago, and you hit me! You expected me to sit around for twenty years and not fall in love with a guy who treats me a million times better than you ever did? I'm sorry but that's not the way things work out." She shouted

"Maybe this will help." He leaned over and pressed his mouth onto hers.

From inside the diner, Jess and Lorelai had been watching.

When Dean kissed Rory, Jess shot up. "Oh my god!" he shouted as he pushed through the door. He ran outside and pulled a struggling Rory away from Dean and stood protectively in front of her.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" he asked

"Trying to get Rory back."

Jess swung his arm and punched Dean square in the face. He turned around to a trembling Rory and walked her inside the diner before Dean could hit back.

Lorelai ran out from behind the counter and hugged Rory.

"Are you okay?" she asked

Rory nodded

Jess sighed. "Come here." He said pulling Rory into his embrace and rocking her gently back and forth.

"Lor, is it okay if we go up to the apartment for a few?" Jess asked

"Of course. It's open."

"Come on Rory." He walked her upstairs and settled her down on the couch.

"Wanna watch a movie?" he asked hoping it would cheer her up

"Willy Wonka?" she asked showing traces of a smile

"Sure." He put the movie in the VCR and turned out the lights. Rory snuggled up into his arms, and twenty minutes into the movie she was asleep.

Lorelai walked into the apartment with Courtney.

"Can we turn the light on?" she asked

"Yea, but shh, she's asleep."

"Poor kid." Lorelai said as she handed Jess a blanket for Rory

"Thanks. Have you heard from the kids?" he asked

"Yea, they were just downstairs. Mary, Laura, Kim, and Luke just came back from a day in Hartford while Michelle was at Jaimie's but they picked her up and are going back to the inn to sleep. Lane said they have the room next to them so they'll keep an eye out for them. You and Rory can crash here. It's late.

"Thanks Lorelai." Jess eased Rory into a lieing down position on the couch and he laid down next to her, and wrapped his arms around her waist. She stirred and snuggled up closer. He kissed her on the cheek before falling asleep.

"Hartford is pretty cool." Mary was saying as the kids walked into the inn.

"Yea, it is." Replied Kim

"I'm beat." Said Laura

"Me too." Said Luke who gave Mary a kiss on the cheek. "See you tomorrow."

"Aww!" Laura, Kim, and Michelle all said in unison

"Shut up." Luke muttered as he hit the elevator button.

"So crabby." Laura said to Kim who nodded in agreement

Mary walked into her room where Tristan and Jackie were waiting for her.

"Hi!" she said as she sat down

"Hello Mary." Jackie replied smiling

"So what have you been up to?" Tristan asked

"I went into Hartford with Luke Laura and Kim. It was fun."

"Do you like Connecticut?" Jackie asked

"I really do. SO much more than Boston, why?" she asked curiously

"We were thinking we might move back." Tristan said

"Really? Oh that would be so cool!" she said jumping up and down

"whoa, so its unanimous!" Jackie announced

"We're moving to Connecticut!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
