Part Two: Misgivings and misunderstandings
Luke and Jess walked into to see a very pregnant Lorelai and Rory trying to lift up the largest trunk between them. "Rory! What on earth do you think you're doing letting Lorelai lift heavy things in her eighth month?" Luke admonished. "Hey! I tried to stop her, but she insisted she wasn't an invalid. It was easier to just give in." Rory protested. "Yes, but she is insane from lack of cof-" Luke was cut off by a grumpy Lorelai. "No saying the sacred word around here. I will not stand for it! I am NEVER doing this again Luke. You'll just have to satisfy yourself with three kids. Or four if you include Jess." Lorelai added as an after thought. "Which I do." Luke nodded. (A/N: Lorelai is pregnant with triplets. I love the idea of Luke coping with a highly caffinated - is that how you spell that? - Lorelai and three little babies. I love Luke! He's cool. Okay. Stopping my babbling now.) "I went through the motions with him." Luke said gruffly. "Hello?" A voice called out from the kitchen. Jess leapt up. "Paris? In Rory's room!" He called. Rory and Lorelai exchanged knowing looks. The usually gruff and monosyllabic Jess turned into mush when Paris was around. "Hello, Lorelai, Luke, Rory." Paris greeted them. She kissed Jess. "Hey Paris." Rory and Lorelai chorused. Luke just grunted. "Are we ready to leave yet?" Paris asked dreamily after Jess and she had finished kissing. "Nope. We still have to load the SUV with Rory's stuff. I'm glad that we don't have to haul all your stuff as well, because we wouldn't fit it all. Lucky you took it all up two days ago." Jess informed Paris. She just laughed and plonked herself down next to Lorelai and Rory who had collapsed onto the bed. "So, Jess, who is it we're staying with again?" Rory asked as Jess came back into the room for another case and trunk. "A guy named Charlie Todd and his cousin, Dristan, Christian or something DuGrey." He said casually. Rory and Paris shot up. "Not Tristan DuGrey?" Rory asked, her voice rising. "Yeah, that's it." "And Charlie Todd?" Paris asked, panicking. "Why? Is that a problem?" Jess asked. "You told me a Charlie Todd and his cousin. You didn't mention a Tristan! I can't believe it." Rory said in shock. She sank back down onto the bed. "Didn't you go and meet Charlie? I mean, you would have known then! I mean Charlie. He looks just like Tristan!" Paris started pacing. Jess put down the trunk he had picked up. "Okay. Explain it all to me about the problem." Jess said seriously. "Well, you've probably heard us refer to a Evil Tristan, Boot Camp Boy and the spawn of Satan? Maybe Bible Boy?" Lorelai started. Jess looked puzzled. "The one who called Rory Mary!" Lorelai said exasperatedly. "Oh." Jess said. "Well, he." Lorelai continued.
