Summary: Rory comes back from Washington to some different surprises.
*Thanks X-identaty, your ideas were awesome and helped so much!! Thanks!*
Rory came home from the diner that Thursday night. She had done her homework earlier and just got home from her usual make out session with Jess. Lorelai had to work late at the inn, so there was money on the counter for some pizza.
Rory ordered a pizza, and then sat on the couch. She placed the phone on the table in front of her, but seconds later, it rang.
"Uh, hello?"
"Rory, hello." Emily said cheerfully, as if nothing happened.
"Grandma, I was actually on my way out. Can we talk later?" Rory panicked.
"We most certainly will not talk later. We will talk now. Why have you been avoiding me young lady, as if you are mad at me. Why should you be mad anyhow? You walked out on me remember?" Emily raised her voice.
"Well you didn't have to judge Jess that way just because I slept with him. This is my life, I'm not my mother. Not every girl gets pregnant from having sex and the way you reacted was ridiculous. You yelled at my mother. IT was crazy. Ever heard of don't judge a book by its cover, that's exactly what you did, but you didn't see the cover, because you've never seen him, let alone met him." Rory said, out of breath.
There was about a five second pause.
"Alright. Why don't you bring him to dinner tomorrow night." Emily said in a way that Rory could tell she had a smile on.
"What?" Rory said in a serious voice.
"It's a good a time as any. Richard will be back and if he's as great as you say, then yes, you are right and I shouldn't have treated him the way I did and I will apologize." Emily said.
"Um, ok."
"Great, see you then." Emily said and hung up.
Rory hung. "Great." She said to herself.
She dialed a number and held the phone to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" Rory laughed nervously.
Jess laughed. "What do want?"
"I want you to come to dinner tomorrow night." Rory held her breath.
"Rory.."
"I know, I know, it's not really your type of thing but my grandma called and she said if she sees the Jess I've been talking about and you are everything I described, then she will admit that I'm right." Rory said quickly.
"But Rory...I don't like formal things." Jess sighed.
"But this depends on my happiness and my relationship with my grandmother. Please, remember how much you love me. Remember how much fun our make out sessions are! Come on, please, after we can do whatever you want." Rory begged.
"Anything I want?" Jess asked in a sneaky voice.
Rory knew what he meant. "Yeah, anything. Just please, come with me!" Rory yelled.
"Fine!" Jess sighed.
"Thank you! Thank you! I love you!" Rory yelled.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll see you tomorrow." Jess said in a sarcastic cheerful voice.
"Great, bye!" Rory hung up and smiled to herself.
The day at school went by quickly for Rory. In a way, she was excited to bring Jess to Friday night dinner. She went home after school and got ready for the dinner. She was 3 hours early, so she walked to Luke's.
"Hey!" Rory said as she walked into Luke's. Jess was behind the counter.
"Hey." He said and leaned across the counter and kissed Rory. Rory put some more feeling into it.
They pulled apart. "Well, that was nice." Jess laughed.
"Yeah. You're doing so much for me." Rory smiled.
"You're 3 hours early."
Well, I was thinking we could go upstairs and you know, hang out, not hang out." Rory smiled seductively.
Jess laughed. "Sure." They walk upstairs.
Two hours later, Lorelai walked in the diner.
"Luke, where's Rory? Jess is coming to dinner with us tonight!" Lorelai laughed.
"I heard, and their upstair-" Rory and Jess walk down the stairs. "They're right here." Luke smiled.
"Nice try. Hi Rory. Jess, ready for the night of your death?" Lorelai smiled.
"I guess." Rory smiled at Jess's comment, not as sarcastic as she expected.
"Great, let's go." Lorelai said, excited to see Jess nervous in front of her parents.
"Well, mom, I was thinking me and Jess could go in one car and you go in another. This way, if things don't go as planned, well, we can, you know, leave." Rory smiled.
"Fine!' Lorelai gave in and the three left.
After about a half hour drive because of traffic, they finally made it.
"So, do we go in?" Jess asked as the three of them stand at the front of the door, just staring at it.
"We could." Lorelai whispered in a creepy voice.
Lorelai rings the doorbell and Rory grabs Jess's wrist and pulls him down so she can kiss him. "Incase you don't make it out alive." Rory smiled and Jess smiled back.
"Hello, hello! Everyone, please come in!" Emily said, all excited.
"Grandma, this is Jess." Rory introduced him.
"Hello Jess, it's nice to meet you." Emily smiled.
Jess put his hand out and that shocked Rory, Lorelai, and Emily. Emily reluctantly shook his hand and smiled. "Same here." Jess said.
"Well, let's all go into the dining room for some drinks." Emily led them into the dining room. Rory and Jess sat on one couch and Lorelai sat across from them.
"Jess, would you like a beer?" Emily tested.
Jess looked at Rory and Lorelai with his 'what the hell?' kind of face and they looked at Emily confused. Lorelai nodded and smiled, realizing what her mother was doing. She rolled her eyes at Jess and he understood.
"No thanks." Jess replied.
"Alright, soda?" Emily smiled.
"Sure." Jess rolled his eyes.
"Rory?" Emily asked.
"Okay."
When Emily finished serving the drinks, she sat down next to Lorelai.
"So, Jess. I've heard wonderful things about you." Emily smiled.
"Me too." Jess lied.
"You have an interesting biography."
"Um, I didn't really know that." Jess stammered.
"Yes, I've heard so many myserious things." Emily said.
Rory and Lorelai rolled their eyes and before Jess could answer, Richard walked in.
"Hello, Rory." He smiled and leaned down and kissed her on the forehead.
"Hello Lorelai." He said.
"Hi, daddy." Lorelai laughed as if it were hysterical she called her father daddy.
"And who is this?" Richard looked at Jess. Jess stood up and extended his hand towards Richard.
"I'm Jess. It's nice to meet you." Jess smiled.
"Same here, quite a grip." Richard laughed and Jess laughed back as if he found it funny.
"He must have been in fights." Emily smiled and Lorelai gave her a stare that Rory gave her earlier.
"Oh, Emily, that sense of humor of yours is horrible." Richard laughed. He takes a seat in a chair near the couch Jess was sitting on. "What are your interests?"
"Rory." Lorelai coughed.
Rory rolled her eyes at her mom and Jess smiled.
"Something wrong with your throat, Lorelai?" Richard asked.
"I'll be fine."
"Dinner is ready Ms. Gilmore." The maid announced and walked back into the kitchen.
"Shall we?" Emily led them into the dining room. Everyone sat in their usual seats and but there was another seat next to Rory's seat, obviously for Jess. It was on the side where he was between Rory and Richard.
They began eating. "So, what are your interests?"
"Reading. I'm almost as big of a reading freak as Rory." Jess laughed and Rory joined.
"Yes, well I suppose we are all freaks." Richard laughed.
"Excuse me, did you just use the word 'freak', dad?" Lorelai asked in disbelief.
"I suppose I did." Richard smiled. "What authors do you like?"
"Hemmingway." Jess answered.
"Fascinating! I'm impressed. You found a guy with some brains, Rory." Richard said. "How are you academically?"
"Well, I am certainly not an A student like Rory, but I use to get C's and D's but when I met Rory and we started dating, I brought myself up to B's and occasionally C's." Jess explained.
"Well, that's okay, as long as you try, you can get A's. What are your college plans?"
"I'm not sure. I might go to a community college near Rory." Jess smiled at Rory and she smiled back. She couldn't believe how behaved he was being around her grandfather. Then she looked at her grandma to see she was pouting because Richard actually liked Jess.
"Well, I could always get you a job at my company, work your way up and you could have all of this." Richard waved his hands in the air and smiled.
Jess laughed. "I may take you up on that."
Lorelai looked at Rory and smiled and Rory smiled wider.
Emily interrupted Jess and Richard's conversation.
"So, Jess, what brought you to Stars Hollow?" Emily asked, thinking maybe she could get some dirt on him here.
"My mom sent me here." Jess simply said. He kind of saw this coming.
"Any reason?" Emily pushed.
"Couldn't handle me." Jess responded.
"And why was that?"
Lorelai eyed Emily, but she just smiled.
"I got into some trouble."
"Like what?" Emily smiled.
"I drank, partied too hard. Just, trouble." Jess confessed.
"Doesn't sound too good." Emily said.
"I suppose we've all gotten in trouble at one point in our lives." Richard smiled at Jess.
"Didn't you break Rory's wrist?" Emily continued.
"Come on mom, we've all gotten over that. Seriously, that's why it's called an accident."
"Lorelai." Emily warned.
Lorelai gave Rory an 'I tried' face and Rory nodded.
"Yes, I did. And that was an accident." Jess admitted.
"It wasn't even his fault, grandma." Rory added.
"So, have you ever been arrested?" Emily asked.
Rory got angry and Richard was a little disturbed by Emily's behavior. "Grandma, stop!" Rory yelled.
"Yes, Emily, stop! This was all the past, why can't you just accept that this is a good man." Richard yelled.
"Richard?!" Emily said, outraged at his tone.
"Mom, what is wrong with you?" Lorelai added in.
"Grandma, how could you do this to Jess? He is being nothing but nice and honest to your insane questions. Why are you asking him so many questions which are none of your business? Grandpa accepts him for being honest, but I guess you're too small to accept that." Rory yelled.
"Rory! Don't you yell at me!" Emily said.
"This is like last week, only this time, Jess is here!" Rory yelled.
"Rory, don't waste your time. Come on, Jess, you, and I will go into the study and look at my books to get away from the commotion." Richard said and all three of them got up and went into the study.
Lorelai looked at Emily and shook her head. "Unbelievable." She said and got up and went into the study. Emily sat there and sighed to herself.
After looking in the study and having many different book conversations with Richard, they left without saying a word to Emily.
Rory was gonna ride home with Lorelai since they were all exhausted. Lorelai sat in her Jeep to warm it up and let Rory and Jess talk.
"I'm sorry." Rory said to Jess.
"It's ok. It went better than I thought." Jess smiled. "Your grandpa is an interesting guy."
"Yeah, he is." Thanks for doing this for me."
"No problem." Jess sighed.
"We'll have fun tomorrow." Rory winked.
Jess laughed. "Looking forward to that one." He shifted and looked at his feet.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Rory smiled and kissed Jess passionately. Lorelai watched from her car and smiled.
"Okay. See you for breakfast" Jess laughed. They kissed again.
"I love you Jess." Rory smiled.
"I love you too, Rory." Jess smiled back and felt a little mushy again. Rory smiled again and walked to the Jeep and Jess walked to his car, got in, and they all drove home.

"But this depends on my happiness and my relationship with my grandmother. Please, remember how much you love me. Remember how much fun our make out sessions are! Come on, please, after we can do whatever you want." Rory begged.
"Anything I want?" Jess asked in a sneaky voice.
