The next morning he was down in the diner promptly at 8:00. Luke looked up as he entered. 'Your Up!'
'You said you needed me at 8 so here I am.'
'I know what I said, I just didn't think you'd be up.'
'So can I go back to bed and wait until the expected time you thought I'd be up?'
'No'
'Right'
'Clean that table up for me will you'
'Sure'
He worked all day long and was finally sitting down for a break around 5:00 when Lorelia came in.
'Luke fill me up!'
'You could try asking politely you know'
'I know, but where's the fun in that?'
'Of course' he looked around 'Where is Rory?'
'Oh, she said something about needing to do some work before break starts so she has more time to do something, I don't know I wasn't really paying attention'
'Good mother'
'Hey"
'Sorry, you are an excellent mother even though you tend to be caught up in your own doings occasionally'
Jess snorted at this and Lorelia threw him a glare, mind you it was an almost friendly glare. He went back to reading.
'Oh guess who called this morning!'
'Hartford Mental Institute they finally have a room available for you?'
'Hey I'm trying to be serious. No, Dean called'
'Really?'
Jess stopped reading and listened intently with his eyes still focused on his page.
'Yep, him and Mrs. Forrester are coming home for the holidays-'
'Whoa, Dean got married?' Jess laughed 'Who gets married at 18? Man I always thought he was wacked, but not enough to get married! Who's the poor girl he's got under his possession now? Oh don't tell me it's the Michelle Branch and Matchbox 20 fan' he just sat there laughing
'Her names Lindsey, and what's wrong with Matchbox 20?'
'Your kidding right?
'Yeah, the really do suck'
'Yes, yes they do'
'Any way like I was saying' she turned back to Luke.' They get in next week, and he wants to have dinner with Rory'
'Just them?'
'I don't know, she didn't say much, she doesn't seem to be in the best mood today'
'I wonder why that is' he shot a disgusted look at Jess. Who rolled his eyes and got up. 'I'm going out'
As he left her heard Lorelia ask 'What did he do? I swear if he hurt her I'm going to-.' The door closing cut off her sentence. He hoped that Luke had enough sense to not tell Lorelia. It wasn't his business to tell. Rory would probably get pretty pissed if Luke told her Mom what happened. He suddenly started to laugh, Dean getting married, that was the stupidest thing he had ever heard.
Okay I know short chapter, I just wanted to put a little dean in, basically cause I think that dean getting married is the stupidest thing ever, that was the worst way to write him off the show, I mean they could of sent him back to Chicago or something. This and the next couple of chapters are really just filler, before I can get back on to my original course. It is kind of difficult to write these chapters ,cause like I said I had already written future chapters, its hard to go back to the events leading up to them, so just bear with me for the next few chapters.
