I disclaim all…

Chapter 5

Telling Lorelai

The next morning- Gilmore House:

Rory awoke and rubbed her eyes.  She smiled when she realized she'd spent the night in Jess's arms.  Soon, Jess woke up too.

"Hey."

"Hey." Rory smiled.

"How are you?"

"I'm good… thanks to you." Rory blushed, and Jess smirked [what a surprise!] 

Jess kissed her, but after a moment Rory pulled away, "My mom!" she exclaimed.

"What?" Jess then realized, "Oh my God…"

"She'll kill us!"

"No she won't."  Lorelai stood in the doorway.  She'd been awake for a while, and Rory's yell brought her to the room.

"Mom!" Rory said surprised.

Jess quickly sat up and moved a little away from Rory, "Nothing happened Lorelai… We just fell asleep…" Lorelai put on a fake glare and shot it at Jess, whose eyes widened. 

Rory laughed, and Lorelai soon joined her.

"What?" Jess asked confused.

Rory moved closer to Jess and put her arms around his waist, "It's okay."

Jess sighed and rolled his eyes.  Would these Gilmore Girls ever cut him a break?

"C'mon kids- it's time for coffee!" Lorelai said.

Rory jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to change clothes, leaving Jess and Lorelai in Rory's room.

After a moment of silence, Lorelai spoke, "You know, as cool of a mom as I am, I don't know that I like us just sitting here."

Jess nodded and stood.  They began to leave Rory's room.

"Ror we'll be in the other room!" Lorelai shouted to her daughter.

Luke's:

Amber awoke, confused.  She looked around, dazed wondering where she was and how long she'd been asleep.  Soon, she remembered.  She sat up in Jess's bed and stretched, looking for Jess.  Not seeing him, Amber yawned and got dressed.  Then, she headed downstairs.

"Morning Luke."

"Hey." Luke greeted, putting down the coffee pot he was holding, "You okay? You slept for a long time."

"Oh. Yeah I'm fine."

Luke nodded.

"Is Jess here?"

"Nope."

Amber eyed the clock on the wall, "Isn't it a little early for him to be up on a Saturday?"

"He spent the night at Lorelai's." Luke replied.

"With Rory?" Amber smirked, realizing what Luke had allowed.

Luke opened his mouth to argue with her but the door opened to reveal two weary, un-caffeinated Gilmores and Jess holding Rory's hand.

"COFFEE!!!" Lorelai screamed as she entered.

"Keep it down Lorelai." Luke demanded.

"Coffee!!!" she tried a little quieter.

"No."

"Aw Lukey!"

"Stop it."

"I need coffee!"

Jess dropped Rory's hand and went behind the counter.  He retrieved two mugs and a pot of coffee, setting them down in front of Lorelai and Rory and filling them.

"Oooh, thank you!!" Lorelai gushed, drinking hers quickly.

Rory smiled and kissed him.  Jess took a seat next to her.

"Traitor." Luke murmured.

Jess leaned over to Rory and whispered, "You gotta tell her."  Rory looked at him confused. 

"About Chris… and Sherri?"

"Oh. Yeah." Rory sighed.

"It'll be fine." Jess promised.

Rory turned to Lorelai who was now begging Luke for a refill.  "Hey Mom?"

"Not now honey. Mommy's out of coffee."

"Mom I need to talk to you." She said seriously.

"Oh. Okay."

Jess gave Rory's hand a quick squeeze and stood up.  "Amber you wanna go for a walk?"

She nodded and followed Jess out of the diner.  Luke went back to his customers.

"What's up?" Lorelai asked.

"I skipped school yesterday." Rory began, sadly.

"Yay! Congratulations! Coffee for everyone!"

"No. Mom, don't you want to know why I skipped?"

Lorelai shrugged.

"Dad showed up."

"What!?"

"With his baby."

"At Chilton!?"

"Yes."

Lorelai cursed him under her breath.

"So I went home.  And Jess came over-"

"Skipping as well?"

"He was showing his sister around."

"Ah, continue."

"Okay, so we were watching a movie."

"What movie?"

"Willy Wonka"

"And you didn't call me!?!?"

"Mom."

"Okay, then what?"

"Then Sherri called.  Looking for Dad."

"That little- "

"And then later, I fell asleep, and someone came to the door.  Jess got it."

"And it was?"

"Dad."

"I told him not to bother us!"

"When?"

"Yesterday!"

"Wait, what?"

"Uhhh"

"You saw Dad yesterday and you didn't tell me?"

Jess and Amber wandered aimlessly around Star's Hollow.

"Soo."

"Yeah."

"Are you not going to tell me what was wrong with Rory yesterday?  I waited for you all day long."

"I'm sorry."

"For the record- you live in a very small and very boring town Jess."

"I know."

"So?"

"Her dad came back."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He ran off on her when she was born.  He and her mom got together last summer, but then he left to go have a baby with his girlfriend.  And now he's back.  And he brought the kid."

"Wow."

"Yeah."

"Well, she's lucky she's got you then hm?"

Jess shrugged.

"So now she's??"

"Telling Lorelai."

"Ah."

"I saw him at home- after you left for school."

Rory groaned, "Let's just ignore him.  Pretend like he doesn't exist."

"Okay." Lorelai agreed, "You know that won't work for long right?"

"I know.  But by then we'll have had more time to think of a better plan."

"Indeed."

The two sat in silence, staring into their empty coffee cups.  Luke came by and refilled them.  They smiled their thanks.

"I should get to the Inn."

Luke brought her a Styrofoam cup.  "Thanks Lucas."

"Luke." He corrected.

Lorelai giggled, kissed Rory and left with coffee in hand.

"So that went okay?" Luke asked.

"You don't fool me."

"What?"

"I know you were listening."

"I was not."

"Oh? How else could you time the coffee so perfectly?"

Luke sighed, "Okay, fine. I listened."

Rory laughed, "I think I'm gonna head back home."

"Alright."

"I'll see you for dinner?"

"Of course."

Rory smiled and left the diner.

A/N:  I'm going to start speeding things up a bit- lots of ground to cover and I don't want it to take 3 million chapters!  Please review!!
