Title: Expect the Unexpected
Chapter 11: The True Explanations
A/N: Very sorry to drag this out, I've just been working on an ending and why Dean would do this. I hope this justifies it.

The hospital from before.
"I-I'm still in love with you."
"What? What the hell kind of answer is that?" Rory was taken aback.
"I think that's why I did that. I'm still in love with you."
"What did you do exactly?"
"Uh-" Dean's mind flashed back to the night before. "I- My daughter came into the hotel room. She told me about how she had met all these people in town who wanted to say hi. Let's see, Jess said something like 'If you ever come near Rory or the diner I'll beat you so bad you'll have to pee through your nose.'" Dean looked up at Rory to confirm this. She nodded.
"Sounds like something Jess would say."
"Yeah." Dean snorted. "And then Jen said something about you saying hi, but she said your last name was Mariano, and I knew you'd married that punk, and I just got so mad, and-" Dean knocked over a piece of medical equipment.
A doctor rushed in and ordered the two of them out of the hospital. They continued the conversation on the ride into Stars Hollow.
"Okay, so you got mad at me and Jess, but what did you do exactly?"
"Well, I ran around Stars Hollow for a couple hours."
"Screaming 'Stella!' and ripping your shirt?"
"No. And after a while I found myself in front of the diner. It was closed and dark, and the apartment upstairs was dark too."
Rory smiled as she remembered what they had been doing in the dark. Dean thought the smile was for him and barrelled on, ruining her memory.
"And I pulled this bench from the square-"
"The one that's always loose?" Rory interrupted.
"Yeah. And I placed it in the middle of the street, and I jumped."
"Why?"
"I don't know. Because you hurt me and I wanted to hurt you, I guess."
"But it's Luke's diner. It's the most beloved structure in the town."
"I know. I don't know what I was thinking."
"Me either, but if I was you, I would pack up my family and head out of town. Just forget about the reunion."
"Yeah, that's what I would do, except for the fact that my family loves this town, and they wanna move here."
"Oh, that's a dilemma."
"And, my daughter is in love with your son."
"What?!"
"Yeah, she met him at the diner. She's absolutely infatuated with him."
"Oh, someone's in trouble."

Rory ran into the diner. Chris was sweeping up the glass, and he looked up as the door slamming caused the window frame to rattle and a few more shards of glass to fall out. Rory looked at him.
"You-Are-Dead!"
"What'd I do?"
"You perfectly well what you did! It's not gonna get me that mad, but your father is gonna kill you. Not to mention Luke. And maybe Lorelai."
"What is it?"
"Wouldn't you like to know. You just keep sweeping up that glass. You're gonna be doing a lot more sweeping from now on!" Rory took the stairs two at a time and ran into the apartment. "Jess?"
"On the phone!"
Rory made her way through the apartment to the spacious family room. Jess was sitting at the table on the cordless phone. He had a pad in front of him and was writing in it. He held up a finger, said, "Thank you. Goodbye." and hung up.
"What's up, sweetie?"
"Well, I was talking to Dean, to get the story for the insurance and the gossip chain, and his daughter is in love with our son, and apparently our son feels the same about the girl."
"What?"
"Yeah. Guess we shouldn't have named him Christopher Hayden. Sometimes I think names determine your personality."
"Yeah. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go kick some ass."
"Jess!"
"Yeah?" He turned around.
"Don't hurt Chris too much. Dean I don't care about, but no murder."
"Okay." With a twinkle in his eyes and a smile on his lips, he stalked down the stairs.
