{RECAP}

 Jess: "I'm not going anywhere Rory. I'm not gonna leave you, not tonight, not ever." She sat up and turned to face Jess. She didn't know what to say so they just sat there looking into each other's eyes. Jess leaned closer to her and placed his hand on her cheek. Pulling her closer to him, he softly placed his lips to hers. Rory hesitated at first but slowly placed her hand on his neck and pulled him closer to her. They kissed for awhile until Rory placed her hand on his chest and lifted herself off of him. She smiled slightly and so did he. She placed her head against his chest again and started to drift off back to sleep. He shut off the lamp next to the couch and tried to do the same.

 {At and about in Star's Hollow at night}

            Lorelai stood just a few feet from her lawn facing the small, quiet town in front of her.  It broke her heart that in just a few short hours, when the town came to life again, everyone would know about what happened to her baby. They will all be talking about it and asking questions and assuming what they want. 'Rory doesn't deserve that.' Lorelai thought, 'hasn't she gone through enough as it is?' She took off walking, though to where, she had no idea. She wanted to find Dean, beat his face to bloody pulp, but she knew Dean would be at home and she couldn't go there. So she walked aimlessly. She had walked around the entire town by the time she saw a man walking further ahead of her. Her first thought was that it was Dean but she then figured he was too big to be Dean. The man turned his head to the side and Lorelai saw the outline of a baseball cap. Luke. The one person she needed right now. She walked/ran to catch up with him.

Lorelai: "Luke," she whispered. He didn't hear her. "Luke!" She tried again and he turned around.

Luke: "Lorelai? What the heck are you doing out here?" Lorelai was suddenly aware of the fact that she was wearing pajamas, slippers and a jacket. She reminded herself that that wasn't important at the moment.

Lorelai: "Uh… I could ask you the same question mister."

Luke: "Yah well I'm looking for Jess. All these times that he goes "out" 'til 4 in the morning is just not working for me anymore." Lorelai's eyes widened in shock. They had forgotten to call Luke and tell him where Jess was.

Lorelai: "Oh my gosh Luke! I completely forgot…I'm so sorry, Jess he… he's not a bad kid…we should have called see what happened, Rory….stupid jerk Dean….but Jess he, he really IS good and we should have called you but…"

Luke: "Lorelai! Slow down and try breathing. What is going on? You know where Jess is?" Lorelai was completely exhausted and very frustrated. She rubbed her temples and shut her eyes tightly. Letting out a long sigh she looked at Luke, hoping he would know what her eyes were pleading. "Coffee?" Luke asked.

Lorelai: "Please?" She managed to reply.

Luke: "Come on, let's go to the diner." He put his arm around a weary Lorelai and led her back to the deserted diner.

************************************************************************

{AT THE DINER}

            Lorelai focused on a crumb on the table she sat at while Luke got her coffee. Her brain was trying to process so much that she couldn't wait to just tell Luke and get it out. Plus, look would help her be rational. She knew that was something she needed. Her thoughts were interrupted by the smell of coffee in the air.

Luke: "Here you go Lor, now, what's going on?" Luke took a seat next to her and focused intently on every word she said. Lorelai told him everything she knew which was just facts. That was enough to get Luke outraged. "I'll kill him Lorelai. I honestly kill him. How could he do that to Rory? He must be insane! When I see that little…"

Lorelai: "Luke! Calm down. I understand how you feel. Trust me I wanted to kill him too. But that won't help things in the end. We can't handle this ourselves. I wish we could, so that the whole town wouldn't hear about it, but that's not possible. We have to let authorities handle this. As much as I hate it, that's all we can do." She finished sadly.

Luke: "Yah, well that doesn't mean we can't rough him up a bit." Luke answered, obviously still angry.

Lorelai: "Here, here." Lorelai responded, raising her coffee cup then setting it back down without drinking it. She placed her head on Luke's shoulder and closed her eyes.

Luke: "Let me get you home, and make sure everything is alright, and we will handle this in the morning.

Lorelai: "You mean talking to the authorities or roughing up Dean?" Lorelai asked as she stood up.

Luke: "Oh, roughing up Dean of course." Luke finished as he opened the door for her.

{Back at the Gilmore House}

Lorelai opened the door quietly, knowing that Rory was sleeping. All the lights were out except the one in the kitchen. She walked into the living room and turned on a lamp.

Lorelai: "Luke, there in here." She whispered as she stood there looking at the two sleeping teenagers. Luke walked in to find Rory entwined in Jess' arms and both of them sound asleep. His face gave off a shocked expression.

Luke: "Uh, I'm sorry…about him, I'll get him out of here right now." He made his way over to Jess but Lorelai stopped him.

Lorelai: "No, Luke, don't wake him. They are fine." When Luke gave her a look of disbelief she continued. "I saw a different side of Jess tonight. One I probably won't see very often, but I know it's there. I know he has genuine feelings for Rory somewhere in that head of his. After all that happened tonight, he is an alright guy."

Luke: "Oh," he said, surprised, "well okay. I'm glad to hear it. Well, I guess…I'll be headed back. I'll see you first thi…"

Lorelai: "Please stay."

Luke: "No, I don't think I should." Although he really wanted to and Lorelai knew it.

Lorelai: "Please Lukey? Stay and you can make us all breakfast in the morning." She begged, giving him her best puppy dog eyes.

Luke: "Yah, right, you don't have real food in your house. And I don't think pop tarts and gummy worms would make a very good breakfast." He laughed.

Lorelai: "Oh come on Luke! That was the only excuse I could come up with. Are you really gonna rob me of it? Plus, I won't get any sleep tonight and I bet you won't either. We might as well be pissed and sleepless together right?" He gave her an exasperated look. "Please?" He playfully threw his hands in the air and sighed.

Luke: "Oh, alright." Lorelai giggled.

Lorelai: "You knew you wanted to." She said as she gave him a wink. "Come on, let's watch a movie."

Luke: "Anything but Willy Wonka." He said monotonously.

Lorelai: "Are you kidding? There is NOTHING better than Wonka."

Luke: "I won't watch it Lor."

Lorelai: "Yes you will."

Luke: "No, I won't."

Lorelai: "Yes HUH!" She replied like a three year old.

Luke: "Nope."

Lorelai: "Yep."

Luke: "Lorelai, why are you putting it in the vcr? I won't watch it, I refuse." Lorelai giggled and their banter led late into the night.

A/N- I know; not too much R/J action but a little L/L which is always nice too. Let me know how I'm doing and if or how I should continue. Next chapter…many confrontations with Dean. Thanks guys!
