Why Me? - Chapter 30 (Final Chapter)
"Couldn't Be Happier"
*~*
About three years have passed since that fateful day, and Jess and Rory are still happily together. Rory is going on to her fourth year at Yale and is a full time student who works weekends at the Dragonfly Inn. Jess works the diner with Luke, as well as attending Hartford Community College. The two are saving up for a house, and as of now, live together in an apartment.
Rory escaped from Brad's brutal attack with a broken cheekbone, a cracked rib, a fracture wrist, and a concussion. As well as many physically bruises that faded away with time, and emotional bruises that will remain forever. She's attended, and continues to attend, counseling and has recovered as fully as someone can, after being attacked so viciously.
Jess got off scotch-free on all charges against him. He claimed self-defense, saying that Brad had attacked him. And with Brad's previous records, the court had believed him. He to went to counseling for post-traumatic stress with Rory, and was told to attend anger-management by the court system. He did.
Luke and Lorelai's relationship eventually blossomed into something much more, and on February 24th, 2004 he asked for her hand in marriage. She accepted and they wed on May 7th, 2005.

"Hey Jess?" Twenty year old Rory Gilmore yelled from the bathroom.
"Yea babe?" Twenty-one year old Jess Mariano yelled back.
"Come here."
"Hang on!" Jess said, intrigued by the last few plays of the football game he was watching.
"NOW."
Jess got up from the couch and walked away as far as he could from the TV while keeping his eyes glued to the football game. Then he turned the corner and walked through their bedroom and into the master bathroom. Their apartment wasn't small by any means but they still wanted a house to call their own, hence Jess and Rory saving up for one. He made his way into the bathroom and found Rory in a towel, obviously she had just taken a shower. He walked behind her and gently wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Geez you just can't resist me can you?" He said, tenderly nipping her earlobe.
"Jess..." she said, motioning to the bathroom counter.
"Wha..." he was cut off when the sight of a pregnancy test meet his eyes.
"Oh my God..." he said, staring at the test, "Are you..."
"Pregnant?" she said, finishing his sentence. "Yea, I think I am..."
At first the two said nothing, but continued staring at the test for a few seconds. Then a smile crept on Jess's face, which Rory hadn't seen, and he grabbed on to the test as if to make sure it were real.
"Were pregnant..." he whispered.
"Definatly pregnant." Rory replied.
"Were pregnant." Jess repeated, in disbelief.
"Ok hun, now its getting kind of redundant." Rory paused and looked at Jess, who was still staring at the stick he was holding tightly in his hands. "And you might not want to hold on to that stick so tight, I peed on that thing." She stated matter-of-factly.
Jess quickly dropped it and shook his hand up and down as if to 'shake off' any germs he might have acquired touching the test. Rory laughed at his absurdness, but quickly stopped when he faced her with a serious look on his face.
"Were not married." He said.
"I know."
"We don't know anything about raising a child."
"I know."
"So, what now?"
"Now," she sighed, "you tell me what your thinking because I have no idea whether your happy about this or... not." She searched for any kind of answer in his face, in his eyes, in his expressions... but with Jess being, well, Jess - she found none.
Jess looked to the ground and shook his head back and fourth. Rory closed her eyes when she saw him do this, 'He doesn't want to have a baby with me,' she thought, 'what am I going to do...'
She opened her eyes and to her surprise, she saw an estatic Jess with a smile from ear to ear standing in front of her.
"Were having a baby," he repeated smoothly and quietly, "and I'm probably the happiest person alive right now."
Rory screeched in excitment and squeezed Jess tightly who returned the huge with just as much love.
"Were having a baby!" She screamed, "I know!" He replied in excitment.
"We have to tell my Mom, and we have to tell to tell Luke... what about Yale?" She began to panic and started to pace, "Oh my God what about my job? What about us? Jess!" She turned around but he was gone.
"Jess?" She walked out into the bedroom and found Jess on one knee in the doorway, obviously nervous as hell and holding up a tiny box.
"Oh my God..." she said to herself.
He held up the ring and began to stumble through his speech.
"Rory, I was going to wait to do this until, well I wasn't exactly sure when. But I've known since the first time I laid my eyes on you that you were the one for me. We've been through the worst together, and the best together. You turned me into someone I thought I could never be, and I can say without a doubt that I am a better person because of you."
Rory began to cry as he continued.
"Now we are going to share a baby, something that will always and forever be a testimate to our love. I can't imagine my life without you, so, Rory Gilmore - will you marry me?"
Rory slowly approached Jess and grabbed the box from his hands.
"You can't be serious?" She said in utter shock.
"Not the answer I was looking for..." he replied, beginning to get a little scared.
A smile crept up on Rory's face as she shook her violently up and down and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him passionatly and crying. When she backed up, he took her left hand and slipped the ring onto her finger.
"THATS the answer I was looking for." He said, relieved.
*~*
Later that day, Rory called Lorelai to inform her that she was engaged. Her mother was almost as excitied as Rory was, and invited the two of them over that night for a celebration party at the Gilmore household where Lorelai and Luke lived. Rory took that same opportunity to let everyone know she was pregnant - and happy about it. Lorelai at first was skeptical, questioning Rory about Yale and wondered if she was ready for a young pregnancy. Rory reassured her mother that would continue with Yale and be graduated before the baby was born, and that she was more than happy to accept the hardships that come with a young pregnancy. Lorelai hugged her daughter tightly and then led her upstairs to her room, where she informed Rory that, she to, was a month pregnant.
On December 4th, 2006; Mr. and Mrs. Luke Dane's gave birth to Michael John Danes.
On August 30th, 2006; Jess Mariano and Rory Gilmore got married after a short engagment and gave birth to Lorelai "Lorel" Gilmore Mariano on January 19th, 2007.
Both couples couldn't be happier.
