Title: All I Want For Christmas Is You
Summary: It's Christmas in Stars Hollow, and romance is in the air.
Pairings: R/J, L/L, L/C
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance/Humor
Setup: Dean and Rory broke up at the Dance Marathon, but Jess did not follow Rory to the bridge, and they act like nothing's between them. Lorelai didn't go to Sherrie's baby shower (Heh. I just noticed it said 'show'. Kind of fitting, yes?), and she and Rory are still not speaking to Chris. The rest of the show is the same. Set to "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey. I cut and moved and pasted and altered the lyrics to fit my own needs, but they're still not mine.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the lyrics.
Distribution: Sure, why not? Just email me and tell me where.
Author's Note: Pure, cheesy, one hundred percent Christmas fluff. I'm in the Christmas spirit. I can't help myself. It's a sickness. The chapters are going to be SHORT and FLUFFY, because I'm working on "The Waiting Room" and that takes up a lot of my time. Please check that one out and tell me what you think! (Not a R/J..I flip flop between the 'ships..R/J to R/T to L/C to L/L..)
I fully intended to post the last chapter last night, but FF.net was down. Was is just me? Was I the only one who couldn't get on?
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Anyway, sillies, of course that wasn't the last chapter. I'm not cruel.
And God, I am such a sap.
Feedback: Reviews are like crack to me. I need them. I get them, I'm a happy happy girl with inspiration. I don't, I'm well..not. On both counts. :hinthint:

~~~~Chapter Seven: All I Want For Christmas Is You ~~~~
.More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You..."
Lorelai's fears about waking Rory weren't needed. Rory had tossed and turned for hours, hot and sweating under her comforter despite the freezing air outside. She was as wide awake as her mother had been, and she couldn't rest.
She finally climbed out of bed, pulled on jeans, a warm sweater and a heavy coat, grabbed her hat, gloves and scarf and climbed out her bedroom window.
Her mother didn't know of these secret outings, and Rory doubted she would be very upset if she did. She wasn't sneaking out to drink, have sex, or do drugs. She merely needed space to think, space she couldn't get in her room. She walked down her street, shivering in the freezing air.
She had started taking these walks after her breakup with Dean, to sort out her feelings about it and him. Now, she took them to think of anything on her mind. Her mom, dad, or Jess..
That did seem to be the thing on her mind this night. Despite all the speeches she'd given herself, she was still thinking of him.
It was Christmas Eve, couldn't she be thinking of tomorrow and presents? No, she had to be thinking about a guy who probably didn't want her anyway. After all that had happened, the way she'd treated him, how could she think he could ever want her?
She walked into the center of town, staring up at the dark windows. She remembered when she and her mom had watched "Bed of Roses", and she thought how creepy Christian Slater's character was for taking those walks and looking in people's windows. She understood, now.
She took a seat in the gazebo for a bit, her legs tucked underneath her as she replayed the events of the previous few months in her mind.
*"I moved back." "But-what-why?"
"Just wanted to."**
**" I'm sorry, did I hear from you at all this summer? Did I just happen to miss the thousands of phone calls you made to me, or did the postman happen to lose all those letters you wrote to me? You kiss me, you tell me not to say anything. . .very flattering, by the way. You go off to Washington. . . then nothing. Then you come back here all put out because I didn't just sit around and wait for you like Dean would've done? And yeah, what about Dean? Are you still with him? 'Cause last time I checked, you were, and I haven't heard anything to the contrary. Plus, the two of you walking around the other day like some damn Andy Hardy movie. Seemed to me like you're still pretty together. I half expected you to break into a barn and put on a show."**
**"Everyone can see, Rory! Everyone."**
Rory snapped back, hearing a noise behind her. She knew she was in Stars Hollow and it was most likely a friendly deer wanting to say hello, but she tensed anyways.
"Rory?" Jess said. She turned around and saw him walking towards her, bundled up much like she was.
"Hi," She said, stunned. She hadn't seen anyone in the weeks she'd been taking these walks, and she certainly never expected to see him.
"What are you doing out here?" Jess asked as Rory stood up and walked down the stairs.
"Just.thinking," Rory replied.
"Oh," he nodded, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"So."
The silence between them replicated the one a few blocks away at Rory's home. The tension could have been cut with a knife, and they both felt it.
"Well, I think I'm gonna..." Rory said, thumbing over her shoulder in the direction of her home.
"Want me to walk you?" Jess asked, then laughed. "Wait a minute."
Rory giggled uncomfortably along with him. "Okay," She shrugged as if she didn't care.
They began to walk. After a bit Jess asked, "What'd you ask for?"
"What?"
"For Christmas."
Rory shrugged, "Nothing really. You?"
"Same," Jess agreed. They made their way down the main street, when the skies opened up and snow began to fall.
"Oh, wow.." Rory said, feeling the fluffy flakes land on her face as she looked up into the black sky.
"Finally," Jess said, pulling a hand out of his pocket and catching a snowflake in his black gloved hand. "White Christmas."
"Beautiful." Rory sighed.
"Yes," Jess said, looking over to her.
She smiled shyly as she felt his eyes on her face.
"Look, Rory.." Jess said, stopping suddenly as they turned onto her street. "I'm sorry."
"For what?" Rory asked, confused.
"Everything," Jess said. "For causing trouble with you and Dean-"
"You didn't cause trouble with Dean and I. Being Dean and I caused trouble between Dean and I and God, that sentence breaks so many grammar rules-"
Jess laughed, "And causing trouble between you and your mom.and being an ass most of the time."
"You weren't," Rory said quietly.
Under the falling snow, she reached out and took his hand. They moved together, the nearness of their bodies creating warmth in the icy air. Jess ungloved one hand and reached up to touch her cheek. His arm wrapped around her delicate waist and pulled her closer, as he leaned down slowly. Their lips met, creating the fireworks she'd never felt with Dean and the love he'd never felt before.
They separated briefly, Rory's breath short as she fumbled her words. "Jess- I-mean-"
"Shhh," He said, placing one finger on her lips. They moved in again, more passionate this time, just like the love at her home a few blocks away.
"Actually," Jess whispered in her ear. "I lied. I wanted something for Christmas."
"Me too," Rory smiled. "Me too."
The End!
