Chapter 12- Long Road Home
Rory awoke the next morning in her hotel room bed. She looked at the bedside clock, 9:15. That was a good night's sleep. She'd gotten up pretty early when Jess knocked on the car window. But she was trying to be nice, and not chew him out for it. It was hard though. She'd succeeded, which actually amazed her. Her mother couldn't do that.
It was time to go home. She showered, dressed, and looked at herself in the mirror. She grabbed her bag, checked out, found her parked car and drove off to see Jess.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Jess came down the stairs in his coat and he had his bag slung over his back.
"Where are you off to?" Jimmy asked looking for a bowl.
"I'm going back, to Stars Hollow."
"Why? You said that you had nothing there. This has to do with that girl, right? Rory, was that her name?"
"I'm going, all right. I couldn't stay here much longer anyway. Thanks, I guess." He turned to walk out the door.
"Take good care of her. If you care about her, I know I've made more than a few stupid mistakes in my love life. Not the least of which, being---, well you know."
"Thanks Jimmy." He replied semi-sarcastically. Shutting the door behind him, he walked out onto the sidewalk and up the street to Rory's hotel. He hadn't walked but a few blocks when he spotted Rory's car a block or so ahead of him. The car approached quickly and she stopped noticing him walking. She rolled down her window.
"Hey, I was just looking for you. Are you ready to leave?" She asked
"Yeah, I guess so." He replied. He got into the passenger side of her car. "Drive on."
She did and they were headed home.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
*When I woke up this morning I thought it'd be another boring day.
Start the coffee skip the shower I'm out the door and on my way.*
"I'm bored again, Luke." Lorelai sat on a stool with her coffee mug, staring at Luke.
"What do you expect me to do about it?"
"Let's go somewhere, let's do something."
"Lorelai, you know that the town doesn't know about us. We can't go out"
"I'm sick of being bored."
"I got that part."
"Why can't we go out?"
"You really want to go out?"
"Does Michelle Kwan know how to skate? Is Madonna a material girl? Can Elton John play the piano? Does a panda bear eat bamboo? Does Hilary Clinton---"
"I get it, that's a yes, right?"
"Yes."
"All right, we'll go out tonight. Where do you want to go?"
"Bowling alley" She replied quickly. "And then I want to get ice cream, and walk around town."
"Okay, that's what we're doing."
"Good." She replied.
"Since we're going out anyway" he said, walked clear across the room and kissed her goodbye.
"See ya later." She replied and closed the door behind herself.
Several of the customers looked at Luke with surprise. They weren't regulars, or major townspeople but word would get around. He could count on that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
"Here's your burger, and yours." The waitress handed Rory and Jess plates topped high with fries and giant burgers.
"Thanks." Rory replied. "These look good. We have to remember this place."
"Yeah"
"Where are we?"
"I think somewhere in Illinois."
"Okay, Illinois got it." There was a long silence where they both ate their hamburgers and fries. "So what are we doing for sleeping arrangements?" She asked. It was getting dark out, and it was about time.
"We can both sleep in your car." Jess replied taking a bite of his hamburger.
"How?"
"You've got reclining seats, right?"
"Yeah"
"So we each get a seat, and tip it back into bed position."
"Why didn't I think of that when I was driving to meet you?"
"You have to think like the car, Rory. You have to be the car."
"I see, and I am not BEING, the car." She smiled.
"Right"
"Okay." They sat and ate in silence.
"You want more coffee, miss?" The waitress asked.
"No, thanks" she replied. The waitress left. "So how is Hemingway these days?" She asked Jess.
"He still wants to meet you, but he's good."
"Well, I can't say that I am very anxious to meet him, but he seems nice enough."
"How's Ms. Rand?"
"Good, she's a little talkie these days, but still entertaining."
"She always could babble with the best of them." They finished their dinner, paid the bill and went out to the car.
"Which side do you want?" Rory asked.
"I'll take the driver's seat." He replied.
"Okay." She threw him the keys. "Just for the heck of it" she replied. They got in and lay down. She moved over as close as she could to him. The console in the middle was kind of in the way, but she got pretty comfortable. He put his arm around her.
"So, do you really want to go to Yale? Or would you rather be at Harvard?"
"I don't know, it meant so much to me when I was younger, going to Harvard and all. But I really like Yale now. Plus my grandfather went there, so that's good."
"And it's close." He added.
"And it's close." She repeated. "I think it'll be good. I wonder what college Paris decided on."
"That your blonde friend? The one with the Kerouac issues?"
"Yeah, that's her."
"Oh, she seemed all right."
"Yeah, we used to be arch enemies but I guess we're friends now."
"Arch enemies? You had an arch enemy? Aren't you little miss, friends with everyone?"
"No, I just try to be civil to everyone, that's all."
"Right, so you planted the Luke and Lorelai seed, huh?"
"Yep, I just hope I haven't created a monster."
"I doubt it, but if we get home and Taylor is running around screaming and all the women are hiding in fear, then I think maybe you did."
"I'd have to lull them into my command with music."
"Classical or Rock?"
"That's a good question. Mom would want rock. I'm not sure about Luke. And does their musical taste change when they are together? I hope not, because that would throw off the whole process."
"You lost me a while back." He yawned. She rubbed her eyes.
"Goodnight, Jess." She said as she snuggled into his chest.
"Goodnight, Rory." They fell asleep there.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
"Have you never been bowling before?"
"Yes, I have been bowling; I'm just not very good. That's all." He picked up his ball from the return and started aiming. He counted his steps and rolled it. He got 5 down on the first ball, and 2 on the second.
"Let me show you how it's done." Lorelai got up, tugged on her shirt and picked up her ball. It was much lighter than his. She took her steps and threw it. It looked like it would be a direct hit, but it veered off to the right and hit 3 pins. Her second shot was no better, doing the same thing, only to the left this time.
"That's how it's done? I think I can do that." He laughed.
"Hey! That was not how it is done, that was me showing you how it is NOT done, I'll show you HOW to do it next frame." She sat down and watched him bowl.
*Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin' down the street,*
20 minutes, and 9 frames later they were back in town. Lorelai had her ice cream, and they were walking around. She had her free arm hooked through his.
"I can't believe you beat me? I am like the queen of bowling!"
"Well, I'm as surprised as you. Long live the King!"
"Oh, you are so not the King."
"If you're the Queen, doesn't that technically make me King?"
"Only if we were married."
"Oh, never mind."
"You want to be the King?"
"Sometime, maybe" he replied looking over at her.
*Holding hands with you, and we're out at night
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?*
"You are sure that you don't want any ice cream, its good, Luke."
"Nope, the stuff is too fattening. I don't know how you can eat how you do."
"Come on, just a little?" She asked. He noticed she had a little on her lip.
"Okay, just a little." He replied and he kissed her, kissing off the ice cream. "That was pretty good. What flavor is it?"
"Strawberry-Cheesecake" she smiled.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
*Let's go home
For once in my life, I finally see
You mean everything in the world to me
I'm willing to take all the bad with the good
I'm ready to do everything that I should*
Rory awoke the sound of a car engine. She rubbed her eyes, and found herself situated back in her reclined seat. She lifted it back to upright.
"Morning" Jess greeted her.
"Hey." She replied. She looked at the time. Eight O'clock. "You're driving?" She asked.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep very well. I mean I slept till about one-thirty and then I couldn't sleep. So I moved you back to your seat and decided to start driving again. I hope you don't mind."
"I did give you the keys." She said yawning. "How far are we from home?"
"A little less than 5 hours, by my calculations."
"Can we stop somewhere and get some coffee?"
"Yeah" He replied. They pulled into a gas station a few miles later. "You need gas anyway."
"You want a coffee?" She asked going in to get it.
"Sure." He replied opening the gas tank. He pumped it and went inside to pay for the gas and coffee. They got back into the car and drove the rest of the way home.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Luke stood looking angrily at Taylor.
"What do you want now, Taylor?"
"I don't want anything, Luke. Are you always this mean to your customers?"
"No, just the ones that always need something stupid."
"Well, now that you mention it---"
"Here goes." Luke replied sarcastically.
"---word has it that you and Lorelai are some sort of thing. Is that true?"
"Some sort of thing? By that you mean, what? Like a two headed purple monster?" Luke laughed
"No, Luke. You know what I mean. Are you dating?"
"Yes." Luke said matter-of-factly and stared at him, "anything else?"
Taylor looked flabbergasted that Luke had just out rightly admitted it. "No, I guess not. Good day, Luke."
"Good day, Taylor." He chuckled a little bit. 'I love playing with that man, he's such a nutcase.' He thought.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
*I'm finally home now
And I can see through the rain*
It was raining when they arrived in Stars Hollow. Jess parked the car at the Gilmore's and got out. He threw her the keys.
"Well, I guess I better go talk to, Uncle Luke."
"No, wait. Let's go talk to my Mom." She headed up to the house. He caught up to her and grabbed her hand. "Mom, I'm home!" She hollered as they entered the house.
Lorelai came bounding down the stairs with a laundry basket full of clothes in her arms. She peered around the corner, dropped the laundry basket and hugged her daughter.
"Rory, how are you?!"
"I'm good. California was fun. And look what I brought home?" She squeezed Jess's hand.
"What have I told you about bringing strays home, sweetie?" Lorelai replied sarcastically.
"Mom!" Rory snapped.
"Nice to know, nothing has changed." Jess replied. He dropped Rory's hand.
"Jess, I'm sorry. I was just kidding, okay? I didn't think I'd ever say this, but I'm glad you are back."
"You're glad I'm back?" He looked at her funny.
"Yeah, you mean a lot to the two most important people in my life. So, I need to just cool it with you. I've never really tried to like you before, who knows; maybe it'll work this time. Plus Luke really needs you back. I can't spend all my time helping Luke; I have work to do on The Dragonfly as soon as the closing is finalized."
"Mom, do you think you could talk Luke into letting Jess come back?"
"Way ahead of you, honey. We talked about it while you were gone. He said he'd like the help.
"Okay, let's go talk to him." Rory replied.
"You go, okay? I have stuff to do here. Say hi for me."
"All right, bye." She left her backpack at side of the door and they went to go talk to Luke.
They walked a ways down to the town part of Stars Hollow. It had suddenly stopped raining and Jess was back to his usual withdrawn self, Rory noticed.
"I remember now why I left." He started.
"Because people judge you?"
"Yeah, people like your Mom."
"Don't let them bother you; they just don't like the unfamiliar. You really have to win them over. You'll get there."
"It doesn't really bother me that they think I am a screw up, I am. What bothers me is that they think I am this bad boy who is going to hurt you. Luke thought that when we first started going out. What good reason do I have to hurt you? I understand they think I am a jerk now for leaving you without an explanation, but I would never actually hurt you."
"I know that. They don't though."
"Why would you want to purposely hurt something you love?"
"The old saying, you always hurt the ones you love, maybe?"
"I guess. But never purposely." He wrapped an arm around her waist, the one that he didn't have his bag held with.
"I'm kinda glad things are mostly back to normal." Rory replied.
"Oh yeah, why's that?"
"You have your arm around me; we're walking through Stars Hollow just like we did before you left. My mother already bickered with you, and you're going to ask Luke to let you come back, which you've done before. It's all very familiar and comfortable, that's all."
"Good." He replied. "It should be, because I plan on staying here a while." She smiled.
*Now I can see that I was blinded
All that I can say to you
It's better now this way*
The pair entered Luke's and he looked up.
"Jess, you're back." He began.
"Yeah, I'm back, if that's all right with you."
"Welcome home. Grab a pot and start pouring coffees." He looked surprised, dropped his duffel bag at the counter and started filling coffees. Rory waved at him, and left.
'Well, maybe this won't be so bad after all. Maybe you can come home again.' He thought.

I'm sorry this took longer than usual, I have/had severe writers block. I need to have a full season (something like 20ish episodes) and I have the last few episodes plotted out, but I am at a loss for what to do with the rest of the season. I mean Rory needs to go to college, but Luke/Lorelai and Lane/Dave's plotlines had gone stagnant, and I don't know what to do without making it really boring. If you have suggestions, email me.
