Chapter 6-The Dinner of Death
Disclaimer: Once again, sadly, I do not own any of the Gilmore Girl characters; I'll get over it sooner or later. *Sigh; schemes plans to kidnap all the GG characters.starting off with Jess-evil laugh*
Story time: This is Season 3 taking place with a spin on it by me. All of season 2 still exists, the kiss still happened; the car wreck was there, Lorelei isn't however mad at Luke anymore. I so hope you got the gist of what I just said. Lol *nervous laugh*
AN: This is a rather long chapter so I might end up splitting it up into 2 parts if I get too tired of typing. But I'll tell you if I do split it up (at the end). And also, this might seem like the end of the story, but I'm not planning on it seeing as they aren't really.well I'm not gonna spoil it- ENJOY!!
"Jess! Rory! Very nice of you to join us!" Mom practically yells.
"No problem, Mom." I roll my eyes. "Where are Grandma and Grandpa?" Jess and I sit on the couch beside each other.
"Good question, daughter."
Mom gets up and goes towards the kitchen leaving Luke, Jess, and me with a still feeling in the air. Woo, now I can dazzle them with my wonderful conversation skills that I just learned I had in the car. I think I'll let someone else start-which means we won't be getting anywhere fast with these two. Unfortunately, it looks like it's up to me. To heck with it all, I'm striking up a conversation. Just as I open my mouth to say something I hear a whisper beside me.
"So she doesn't know yet?"
I look at Jess. "I haven't really had a good chance. It's not something you can spring on the one that loves him so much." I gag at that thought, if she loves him so much, let her go out with him. "I think I'll wait until we get home."
"Why then?"
"Well, freaking totally out is sure to ensue."
"Cat fight, perhaps?"
"Meow."
Mom comes back and sits down.
"Ok, 5 minute rule. If the teacher isn't here in 5 minutes, we leave."
"Teacher?" we all say in unison.
"Didn't you guys ever play that game? You know, where the bell rings and if the teacher doesn't come in within 5 minutes, everyone splits like a banana peel." She smiles cunningly.
"I would have to say I have never split like a banana peel or have ever done that."
"Right, you probably found out the homework and did it." Mom jokes. "What about you Luke? Tell me yes."
"That's a negative for me, too."
We all look at Jess and prepare to think Mom's crazy, even though everyone already thinks she is, because she's obviously the one who invented and played the 5 minutes game.
Jess glances up and notices us. "What are you guys looking at?"
"You've never played that have you, Jess?" Luke asks.
"Well, I'm not at liberty to say."
A smile spreads across my face. An even bigger smile comes from Mom. That's certainly a first-someone backing up one of Mom's crazy schemes.
"Ha!! I'm not the only one!"
"Anyways, what does that have to do with Grandma?" I change back to the idea we were at before all of this.
"Even though you're obviously jealous of me and changing the subject, if she's not here in 5 minutes-."
"Hello everyone." We hear a voice coming towards us.
"It's been 5 minutes, let's split! Plus it's getting uber-scary, her voice is coming from nowhere."
"Lorelei-." Luke starts.
"Quick! Before she knows we're here!"
"Hey Grandma," I say and notice Mom's horrified look.
Mom whispers to Luke, "She's right behind me isn't she?" Luke nods his head.
"Hey Mom."
"Lorelei, would you be so kind and introduce your guests to us? Then we can go to the dining room to enjoy our meal."
"Mom-you know Luke-and this is his nephew Jess."
Grandma stares at Jess for a minute and then leads us to the dining room.
"Where's Dad tonight?" Mom asks.
"He has gone on a business trip, Lorelei. That is why I was a little late. I was on the phone with him." Grandma keeps eye contact with Jess and I the whole time.
"So Rory, where is that other young man tonight?" Grandma asks. I get a lump in my throat and before I can answer, Mom responds.
"I forgot to tell Rory to ask him, Mom."
"And he couldn't have made it at the last minute like it seems this Jack did?"
"It's Jess, Grandma. And no he couldn't." I look down at my plate.
"Mom, I just simply forgot and Luke thought it would be fine for Jess to come along."
The continue in a conversation that gets more and more heated for about 5 minutes and the next thing I know I'm spilling the beans about everything.
"Mom, Dean couldn't 'make it' because he and I are not together anymore. That's why Grandma"
Yeah, that and Mom forgot to tell me-but for once I'm glad she forgot something. The table falls silent and Mom starts in on me.
"Why?"
"I'd really not like to go in this right now, Mom."
Mom looks at Jess and gets agitated.
"Why?" she asks me again.
"Lorelei-she doesn't have to tell you if she doesn't want to. God knows you never even told us you were pregnant." Grandma tells Mom.
Mom starts fuming now.
"Rory, one last time-why?"
I can't believe I did this next part, but what else could I do?
"Jess," I say quietly.
"This young man?" Grandma asks. Jess looks down at his plate and starts moving food around on his plate. I don't think it ever occurred to me that he really *was* the reason.
"Yes," I say.
"How did I know? What did Jess do that made him think that?" Mom yelled at me.
"Jess-didn't do anything."
"Then tell me what's going on!"
"First of all, I broke up with Dean, so it was my fault! If you like him so much, you take him, you can have him. Second of all, the reason I broke up with him was because he assumed too much and was a jerk."
"What may I ask did he assume, Rory?" Grandma asks.
This really 'is' the most comfortable situation I have been in, in a long time
"I'd really not like to talk about this right now, please." I look at Mom for support, but I don't know why she would support me at this moment.
"Please answer your grandmother." She says sternly.
Ok, I quit. I don't care what happens now, they asked for it. I can play this game.
"Fine! Dean didn't trust me around Jess and he had his mind set firmly on the fact that Jess and I are sleeping together, ok?"
The table is now stunned and silent. Mom and Grandma are now glaring at me and Jess and Luke are looking down.
"Would you excuse us, Rory and Jess?" Grandma asks politely.
Jess and I leave the table and walk slowly enough to know that they're talking about this. Grandma doesn't seem to believe that Jess and I aren't sleeping together. Mom isn't sure, and Luke is saying that we're not; well he just seems to be getting a syllable in right now at the pauses. At least he believes me.
Jess and I retreat to the semi-newly furnished room that I've just had done for me. Jess opens the door and we sit on the bed together.
"How ironic," I say.
"What is?"
"That fact that we're sitting on a bed and they're fighting that we may or may not be sleeping together."
"Seriously."
"God, does he have no life? Going around stalking me and accusing me of things?" I start to get angry. "He's always been doing this. From the moment we met. Now he's gotten me into the mother of all messes. Mom will never forgive me now. I sure can't live here. Jess, where can I live?" I look at him with innocent eyes.
"Rory-who wouldn't want to follow you around? You're one of the most interesting, people I know. That's a complement." He smiles at me, "But it'll be ok. Trust me, Luke is down there and he can make it better. After all, he knows."
"Knows what?"
"That I'm not giving you chocolate," he laughs.
I start laughing, "Luke Danes teaching tools, eh?"
"Yeah."
We look at each other for a minute and start to lean in towards each other. Just then we hear voices coming our way. Jess quickly stands up and the door opens.
"Ready?" Mom asks kindly, as if nothing had happened. Right now, I really don't want to ask. All I want to do is go home.
"Sure."
Jess and I exit the room and head towards the jeep. We start home and the car is eerily silent.
"How bouts some music, guys?" Mom asks.
"That'd be great, how bout some of that classic-" Luke is cut off by the blaring of our newly bought Pink Floyd cd. Jess takes my hand and I lean my head on his shoulder and we head back towards Stars Hollow.
End Chapter 6-*whew* Ok, there's that one finally chapter finally complete (the one I like to think as the climax) Since I don't want to scroll all the way back up, I'd like to thank Angel Monroe, Mysterygirlco10 for their ideas on this chapter. Thanx!
