Oh Those Gilmore Girls.
Jess and Rory got to Stars Hollow around 9:30 at night. Jess drove most of the way, things where different know, they where going to get married, they where no longer just a couple they where some thing more. Neither one of them knew what the more part was however, they both had questions for each other, that neither wanted to ask. They where both sure however that they wanted to get marred how hard was it going to be? If they made it through this much they could make it through anything. There was only one problem how where they going to tell Luke and Lorelai.
Jess drove Rory home and walked back to the dinner, this would be there first night away from each other in 4 days. Rory had gotten used to him being there all the time, she missed it even though they where only apart for a few minutes she missed him already. She looked down at her hand and saw the ring Jess gave her and she smiled, remembering the past 4 days. Rory opened the door. "Mom I'm Home." She saw Lorelai rush over to her. Rory was greeted with a hug from Lorelai. "Hi, Mom!"
Lorelai missed Rory, she was so happy to see her that she for got about her anger, but soon remembered it. "You made me worry so much why did you do that and if he made you I'll kill him!"
"I'm sorry, I wanted to get away before college started."
Lorelai was shocked that it was Rory choice. "Rory tell me before you leave next time so I don't go crazy. Where did you go to anyway?"
Rory smiled as her and her mother walked towards the living room. "Maine, it was great."
Lorelai knew that Rory and Jess had slept together, it was so obvious to her she could see it in Rory's glowing electrical blue eyes. "So is there anything else you want to tell me?" She wanted Rory to tell her she didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, the way she did with her mother.
Rory glanced down at her hand again, and then she lifted it to show her mother.
Lorelai looked at the ring and then back at Rory, "Wow, are you sure about this Rory its something huge, it will change you're life forever." Rory nodded and smiled. "You really do love him," Lorelai let out a nervous giggle. Lorelai felt as if she wanted to cry she just lost her only child to the James Dean of Stars Hollow, everything was going to change. "So did you." Lorelai moved her hands.
Rory looked at the ring again. Rory knew what her mother meant, "Yeah,"
Lorelai reached out and hugged her daughter, she felt tears coming to her eyes, and Rory was no longer her baby.
Rory felt Lorelia's and decided to change the subject. "How was you're last 4 days with Luke?"
Lorelai smiled, they had been great. "Great, I worked at the Diner! I got free coffee,"
"Looks like you didn't miss me much!"
"No I missed you.. Rory?"
"Yeah,"
"How would you feel if Luke moved in?" Lorelai knew it was soon to be thinking about it, but she couldn't help it.
Rory was a little shocked by her mom's question. " Umm, well don't you think its little soon?"
"Rory I have never felt this way it's kind of weird, but I like it."
Rory nodded understanding her mothers feeling. "If that's what you want its ok with me, I mean I'm not going to be here much longer."
"Yeah," the thought made Lorelai sad but she still smiled. "Oh, you have to go to Friday night Dinner to tomorrow."
"Oh yeah, did you talk to grandma?"
"Sorta,"
"Oh, what did she say?"
"The usual."
"Mom I'm kinda tired I'm gonna go to bed." She slowly trailed off to her room.
"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow, by the way where are your bags?" She didn't see Rory bring them in.
"In the car. Good night Mom."
"Night Hun." Lorelai started up the stairs but didn't get any sleep that night.

Jess grinned the whole way home. Jess's grin was short lived as he entered the apartment. Luke heard the door open and it woke him up.
"Jess?" Luke couldn't yet see his figure.
"Luke,"
Luke let out a breath. "Jess, why did you have to do this?"
"Do what?"
"Runaway with her!" Luke raised his voice.
"We weren't running away, I don't know why you get so pissed over this shit, What do you think is going to happen!"
"You know what I think, you're gonna run again and you're going to break her heart Again! Like you did before! You just leave everyone and thing behind!"
"I'm not going to leave! I'm not him!"
"You better not."
Jess collapsed onto his bed, "I asked her to marry me." Jess said in a low voice.
Luke looked over at him. "What?" Luke lowered his voice. He had no clue that Jess loved her that much. Luke still had to get up enough courage to ask Lorelai and here was Jess who was so young yet he could set the world on fire in a way it made Luke proud, in a way he wished he could be like Jess.
"Yeah,"
"Are you sure?"
Jess nodded. "Yeah."
"Wow." Luke got up and walked over to the fridge. "Want a beer?"
"Sure, When did you start to drink?"
"Their Lorelia's."
"Oh," Jess took it from Luke, "Thanks,"
The air was calm between them, for the first time in a long time. Then Luke spoke, "Those Gilmore Girls sure can make a guy fall." Luke some how loved that about Lorelai though he fell hard for Lorelai years ago.
Jess nodded and smiled he was in the same boat as Luke, in love with a Gilmore Girl.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you before." Luke hated to admit he was wrong, but he was wrong about yelling at Jess when he had good intentions.
Jess just nodded and took a slug of his beer. He lie down in the bed and smiled thinking of Rory and how he missed her already.
Luke looked over at Jess and smiled, and soon fell asleep. Jess waited for Luke to sleep then he slipped out the window.

Jess walked in the shadows of Stars Hollow. He soon approached Rory's window. He slides the window up and jumped through without making a noise. He slipped of his shoes to be quieter. He walked up to the bed and looked down at Rory she was sound asleep. He kissed her forehead. He gently got on the bed and lies down beside her, she stirs a little then realizes its him.
"Jess," Rory whispered as she moved closed to him.
"Shhh,"
"I love you," she whispered against her pillow.
Jess smiled "I love you too." But she had already fallen asleep, a few minutes later he was a sleep as well.
