DON'T WORRY BABY
CHAPTER 10 – Phase 2 – Dean
After she and Rory filled Jess in on phase 2 of their plan, Lorelai told the 2 lovebirds to take off and get started.
Lorelai turned to Luke satisfactorily. "Lukey, I'm a genius, aren't I?"
"I think genius is stretching it a bit. Deranged lunatic is a bit more like it."
"Pshh. You're just jealous."
"Jealous of what? I'm very confused right now. What is this plan all about?"
Lorelai smiled mischievously. "You'll find out soon enough…"
"Oh boy."

Outside, Rory and Jess were by the bridge, keeping an eye out for Dean, and talking.
"I still can't believe you did that to me." Jess was saying.
"It was entirely my mother's doing."
"It was cruel! Miss Patty saw me in my boxers!"
Rory laughed. "That was the best part."
"So your mom's really okay with this?"
"Yeah, she is. After I told her, she wasn't upset or anything. She said she thought it had happened and just asked me some questions."
"Like…"
"Like when it happened, if we were safe, if it had happened any other times, who Virginia and Oliver were, how Dean knew, and if you were any good."
"WHAT?"
"Yeah, I mean the nerve of her. Asking about our reservation names…" Rory teased.
"She asked if I was any good?"
Rory laughed. "Yeah. That's Lorelai Gilmore for ya!"
"And what did you say…" Jess smiled seductively.
"I told her not to ask that."
"Good." They kissed. "But just out of curiosity, what would you have said…?"
"Not that I have anything to compare to, I'd say…oh look, there's Dean." She saw Dean walking by the bridge.
"You'd what?" He turned. "Oh. Time to put your mother's evil plan into action." He leaned in and they started making out quite heavily.
Rory noticed Dean watching them and started talking. "So are we still on tonight?"
Jess was kissing her neck. "Mmmm. Hell yeah."
"I can't wait to see, ummm, 'Virginia and Oliver' tonight."
"Oh, neither can I!"
"I'm really glad I decided not to tell my mom. Knowing her, she'd probably say something like 'That little punk. Did he force himself on you? Dean would never have done anything like that. And just when Jess was starting to grow on me.' or something like that. I almost wish that Dean would tell her so that I wouldn't have to go through the awkwardness. 'Ummm mom. Jess and I slept together.'" She laughed nervously.
Jess kissed her. "Please. No more talk about bag boy. Let's get back to doing this. A little warm up for tonight."
They started making out heavily again.
Dean, who had heard them talking, smiled to himself. So Rory doesn't want to tell Lorelai because she thinks she'll hate Jess now, eh? And she wishes I would do it for her. Well, Rory, if it will give me a chance of winning you back and getting rid of Jessie-boy there, I'll do it. He walked away.
Rory and Jess pulled apart when they noticed Dean leaving. "Think he'll go for it?" Rory asked.
Jess laughed. "Only one way to find out!" And they walked to Luke's where they knew Dean was headed.
***
"…And that's why cows are so funny!" Lorelai was saying to Luke.
"Okay then. No more coffee for you." Luke said, and he walked away with her mug.
"But. But. Lukey…!" Lorelai exclaimed, reaching out after him.
"Ummm, Lorelai?"
Lorelai turned around to see Dean. She smiled. "Hey Dean. What's shakin bacon?"
Dean smiled and nervously ran his hands through his hair. "Ummm, not too much. I was walking by and saw you in here, and I remembered that I never got to have that conversation with you last night."
"Oh, right." She leaned over the counter. "Luuuukeeey! I'm going out for a few minutes! I expect coffee and chocolate chip pancakes when I get back!" She heard him grunt and that was answer enough for her.
Dean was nervously twiddling his thumps while he and Lorelai walked outside.
"So, what's up?"
"Ummm, I don't really know how to say this…"
"Usually opening the mouth and talking is a good start…"
"Rory and Jess are sleeping together!" Dean blurted.
"Excuse me?" Lorelai said; hand on her ear as though she couldn't hear him.
"Rory and Jess are having sex." Dean mumbled.
"And you think this because…"
"I overheard them talking."
"…about them having sex or sex in general."
"About them having sex. Yesterday when I told you I knew who Virginia and Oliver were, that's kind of a code name."
"They have a code name for sex?"
"No. That's. They. They reserved a hotel room under the name 'Virginia Twist.'"
"Clever."
"And I just heard Rory saying how she doesn't want to tell you, and... Did you just say 'clever'?"
Lorelai smiled. "Why yes I did."
"But. You're not mad?"
"Why would I be mad? Jess is a great kid. Plus Rory told me already."
"She? But? I? I just heard…"
"Seems to me, Dean. That you have a real problem with listening in on things that aren't meant for your ears." Lorelai said.
"But? Jess! He…" Dean was in shock.
"He what bag boy? What did Jess do?" Dean spun around and saw Jess smiling, his arm around Rory.
"But. You. I. AURGH!" Dean threw up his hands in defeat and stormed off.
Jess and Lorelai high fived each other. "That should teach him to mind his own business." Lorelai said, laughing.
"I sure as hell hope he at least stays out of ours." Jess said, hugging Rory.
Lorelai looked at her watch. "S***! Look at the time. My pancakes and coffee are getting cold. And you two have a hotel to be getting to." She winked and gave Rory a kiss on the cheek and gave Jess a quick hug. "Be home by 1, and I want details tomorrow!" She laughed as she ran off.
"That woman's insane!" Jess laughed, shaking his head.
Rory swatted at him. "Hey. Watch yourself. That'll be me in a few years."
"Oh boy."
Rory laughed and held out her arm. "Shall we?"
Jess linked his arm through hers. "Hell yeah!"
A/N: Hope you enjoyed phase 2 of the evil plan. Personally, I preferred phase 1, which was a lot easier to write, but this one is okay too. So, all I ask of you is that you please SHOW ME THE LOVIN! (And that was my version of Cuba Gooding Jr's infamous 'Jerry Maguire' quote.) *bows/curtsies* 'Thank you. Thank you.'
