DON'T WORRY BABY

CHAPTER 12 – The Amazing Adventures of Flannel Diner Man and Duck Boy!

Rory and Jess spent some more time relaxing on the bridge, reading, kissing, talking, kissing, and kissing.  At sundown, they got up and started to make their way back to the diner, stopping only when Miss Patty saw them and insisted on pinching Jess's bottom, causing Rory to go into a fit of giggles.  She was still giggling when they made it to the diner, where Lorelai was harassing Luke.

"So, since coffee comes from beans, which is a vegetable, technically I'm eating vegetables and you can't curse me for being unhealthy."  Lorelai exclaimed triumphantly, a smug look on her face.  She saw Jess and her giggling daughter walk in.  "Hey babe, hey Rory."  She said, laughing.

Jess looked at Luke.  "How much coffee did you give her?  She's calling me 'babe'!"

Luke just rolled his eyes. 

Lorelai noticed that Rory was giggling. "What's up babe?  What's so funny?"

"Oh nothing.  Just Miss Patty pinching Jess's butt again, in the middle of town."

"That's cause it's such a great butt!  So very pinchable!"  Lorelai said, pinching Jess's backside to prove a point.

"Hey!"  He yelled, squirming out of the way.  "Rory, learn to control your mother."  This just caused Rory and Lorelai to laugh harder.  Luke even joined in.

"Not you too Luke?"

"Hey.  I'm getting to see you squirm.  It's funny."

"Insane!  That's what you all are!  Crazy people!"  Jess went behind the counter to pour Rory a cup of coffee.

"You've trained him well!"  Lorelai said to Rory.

Jess put the cup down for Rory, and poured one for Lorelai too.  "YAY!  You're my new favouritest person!"  Lorelai exclaimed, clapping.

"Traitor."  Luke said.

"Hey, Rory rewards me."  Jess replied, smiling and kissing his girlfriend.  He turned to Lorelai.  "And what's this about me being your new favouritest, person?  And here I thought I always was your favouritest.  And is favouritest even a word?"

"Aw, Jessie.  Don't worry.  You'll always be my favouritest duck boxer wearing diner boy.  And it is a word when you're with a Gilmore!"  Lorelai exclaimed.

The group sat around, laughing and talking until Luke was getting ready to close the diner.  Rory leaned in towards her mother.

"We're going to tell Luke tonight."  She whispered.

"Tell Luke what?"  Lorelai asked.

"About us, 'Virginia' and 'Oliver'…"  Jess whispered.

"Oh.  Oh!"  Lorelai exclaimed.

"Mom, can you stay when we do it?"

"Dirty."  Lorelai said.

"Mom.  I mean.  Can you stay when we tell Luke?"  Rory pleaded.

"Sure.  If you want me to.  But why?"

"We were thinking that maybe if he sees how great you're taking it, he won't try to kill me."  Jess said.

"Hmmm.  A world without Jess.  Now that is tempting."  Lorelai said, smiling.  "But then Rory would be all gloomy like and I wouldn't get to tease about duck boxers and pinchable butts.  I'll do it."

Rory hugged her mother.  "Thanks."  Jess smiled in appreciation.

"No problemo."  Lorelai said.  She turned to Jess.  "And when I said teasing about duck boxers and pinchable butts, I mean teasing about duck boxers and pinchable butts."

"Oh I believe it."  Jess said.

Meanwhile, Luke was locking up the diner.  He turned to the table where the 3 were sitting.  "You girls do realize that you have a house that you live in, right?"

"Pssh."  Lorelai said.  "House schmouse.  Who needs it when you spend all your time at the local diner, harassing the flannel diner man and his nephew, duck boy with a pinchable ass?  HA!  That would make a great comic strip.  'The Amazing Adventures of Flannel Diner Man and Duck Boy!'  I like it!"  Lorelai exclaimed.

This just caused Luke and Jess to roll their eyes.  Luke sat down with them.  "You guys want anything?"

"COFFEE!"  Lorelai and Rory exclaimed at the same time

"Right.  I've known you girls forever and I still ask."  Luke went to get the coffee pot, shaking his head.  He returned with it, poured their cups, and set the pot on the table and sat down.

"Hey Lukey, wanna hear a joke?"  Lorelai asked.

"Not really, but knowing you, you're gonna tell me anyways."

"You know me so well."  Lorelai said.  "Okay.  This guy walks into a bar.  What's the first thing he says?"

"I have no clue."

"OUCH!"  Lorelai exclaims, laughing.

"What, did you hurt yourself?"  Luke asked.

"No, silly.  When the guy walks into the bar, he says ouch."

"Why would he say that?  Why wouldn't he say 'hey give me a beer' or something."

"It's not that kind of bar, it's, ah forget it."  Lorelai said.

"On that note, Luke, Jess and I have something to tell you."  Rory started.

"What is it?"  Luke asked, concerned.

"Ummm, I don't know really how to say this, but, ummm, we kinda, we, ummm…"  Rory tried to say it but couldn't. 

Jess took her hands in his and looked at Luke.  "Rory and I are sleeping together."  He quietly said.

"Excuse me?"  Luke asked.

"Jess and I, we're sleeping together."  Rory said.

"You mean just as in falling asleep on the bridge or something, right?"  Luke asked, hopefully, getting angry.

"Ummm, no."  Rory said, looking down at her hands.  Lorelai gave her a hug of encouragement.  "We're having sex."  She whispered.

"YOU'RE WHAT?" Luke yelled.  His face red.

"Luke, calm down."  Lorelai pleaded.

Luke turned to her.  "CALM DOWN?  How the hell am I supposed to calm down when my hoodlum of a nephew is sleeping with Rory?  And why the hell are you so calm about it?"

"Rory told me a few days ago."

"And you're okay with this?"  Luke was in shock.

"Actually, I am."

"Can't you see what's going on here?"  Luke asked.

"Oh?  And what might that be?"  Jess asked.

"That you just want sex from Rory and then you're going to leave her."  Luke exclaimed.  Rory started to cry.

"What the hell are you talking about?"  Jess exclaimed, standing up now.  "I happen to love Rory, and would never do anything to hurt her."

Luke snorted in disgust.  "Like hell.  Get out."

"What?"  Jess asked.

"You heard me.  GET OUT!"

Lorelai put her hand on Jess's arm and glared at Luke.  "Come on Jess.  You can stay with us."

And with that, the three left a very angry Luke at the diner.
