Chapter 21: Temp Jobs and Scary Pictures
Pounding. Lots of pounding is what woke Lorelai up. Her neck cracked as she got out of the unnatural position she had slept in. Rubbing it zealously, Lorelai rose from the couch to find the source of the pounding. The front door. She trekked to the racket with the intension of shutting it up. Pulling open the door, Luke stood there with a huge styrofoam cup full of what she hoped was coffee.
"Hey, I thought you'd like some coffee," he told her with a dazzling smile.
Lorelai smiled and threw her arms around the man she loved. Before falling asleep the previous night, she decided she loved Luke. She didn't know when she would tell him, but for right now she was in love! He hugged her back and grabbed her hand the second she pulled away. Lorelai drug him into the house and they sat on the couch. She gulped down the cup of coffee and Luke looked at the pictures Lorelai had been looking at the night before. The one lying on top was taken when Lorelai was eight or nine months pregnant. He picked it up and laughed.
Lorelai looked at him curiously, "What's that?"
"You," he said showing her the picture, "I didn't know you when you were pregnant. You were cute."
"I was not! I was fat. I can't believe Rory's going to look like that in a few more months," Lorelai laughed as she remembered when she was pregnant.
Luke's tone got serious as he said, "I think you were gorgeous, and you still are."
Lorelai grinned as she leaned over to kiss Luke. It was a soft, sweet touch that left them both feeling satisfied and happy about their future together. They pulled away when it felt as if their lips had just met and Luke rested his forehead against Lorelai's. They turned back to the pictures and started going through them. Lorelai told Luke stories about growing up with Rory and what they used to do. They had a wonderful morning, and even though Lorelai felt saddened that Rory had moved away from her, she knew that change was good.
------------------------------
Sunlight streamed through the window of the Mariano's apartment and woke up a very sated woman. Rory stretched and sat up to greet the day, when a horrible churning caused her to jump out of bed and run to the bathroom butt naked! The commotion stirred Jess from his slumber and he opened his eyes just in time to see Rory streaking across their bedroom. He laughed at her at first, until he heard her getting sick in the toilet. Sighing, he put a pair of boxers on and opened the door to find his wife lying on the floor, wearing nothing but a frown. This sight made a part of his anatomy wake up a little, but he took a few deep breaths and crouched down to help Rory.
"Are you okay, hon?" he asked her with concern in his voice.
She heaved herself off the floor and started to walk towards the sink while saying, "Yeah, the doctor told me to expect this almost every morning and sometimes in the afternoon."
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry," he apologized.
Rory laughed as she put toothpaste on her toothbrush, "It's not like you wanted me to get sick."
"I know, but I still feel bad for you. Would it help if I puked, too?" he asked her seriously.
Rory almost spit the minty foam all over the mirror, but managed to aim for the sink. She turned and replied, "What!? You think I'd actually want you to suffer as much as me? Well, I kind of want you to suffer, but in a different way."
"What way?" Jess asked her nervously.
She smirked, "We can start with a cup of," she sighed, "decaff coffee. And then a foot massage might be nice, oh and a backrub. I am carrying your kid around, and it doesn't seem to be losing any weight."
"Sounds fair to me," Jess told her while heading into the kitchen to make Rory's coffee.
-------------------------------
(A/N: At this point, Lane is still living with her mother and she doesn't work at the diner... YET!)
At the diner, Luke was in the middle of scrubbing a table when a disheveled Lane ran through the door. Lane had been in California for the past week visiting Dave, so she hadn't had a chance to talk to Rory about her honeymoon. She jumped onto a stool and spun around.
"Hey Luke!" she greeted with a grin.
"Hi Lane, how was California?" he asked her.
Her grin got even bigger as she chattered about all the fun it was. She told Luke a funny anecdote about Dave getting attacked by a duck. (A/N: That actually happened to me and I thought it would be fun to put that in there!) Just as she finished Rory waltzed through the door with Jess at her heels! The girls squealed and hugged each other chatting about their respective vacations. Jess needed to get a book, so he gave Rory a kiss and left the diner.
"So?" Lane questioned, raising her eyebrows at Rory.
Rory smirked and replied, "So, what?"
"How's married life? How was your honeymoon?" Lane inquired.
Rory laughed at her friend's enthusiasm, "Everything's wonderful! I can't wait for you to see our apartment! It's perfect! There are two bedrooms, and we're going to start decorating the nursery in the next few weeks. How was California?"
Lane relayed her trip to Rory and they decided to get together later and watch each other's slides. Rory stopped by the Dragonfly to see her mom and then she was going to meet Jess for lunch and then go maternity clothes shopping. At the Dragonfly, Michel was on the phone yelling at someone in French and Lorelai was watching him with an amused smirk on her face.
"What's going on?" Rory asked as she walked into the lobby.
Lorelai exclaimed, "My favorite offspring! Well, Michel's on the phone with what I'm guessing is one of his relatives, and they've been yelling for twenty minutes! It's very entertaining. How are you?"
Rory laughed at her mother, "That's hysterical! I'm doing okay, but I've already gained so much weight. I look like a cow."
"Aw, babe. No you don't, you look pregnant," Lorelai encouraged.
"Same difference," Rory muttered.
Lorelai gave her a reassuring hug as Michel hung up the phone. It rang the second he set it down and he sighed and greeted the person on the other end. He wrote something down in the appointment book and slammed the phone onto the hook. Stalking over towards Lorelai, she had to fight to hold in her laughter.
"You work me to death!" he sputtered.
Lorelai and Rory both started to laugh. Lorelai said, "I'm sorry, but what can we do?"
"Actually, my mother needs for me to go to France for a few weeks," Michel informed them, "Maybe you could find a replacement for me for a little while."
Panicked, Lorelai replied, "What! You're the reception person. Without you, who will answer the phones? Who will I annoy? How can you leave us, Michel?"
"I need to get away! I want to go home to see Mother. Please, Lorelai. Pretty please with a cherry on top," he begged.
"Fine," Lorelai answered, reluctantly, "but, who will I get to take your place?"
"Hmm... What about Rory! I'm sure she could use the money and she could hang around you more often," Michel suggested.
Lorelai grinned at Rory and raised her eyebrows. Rory agreed to the plan and they decided she would start before Michel left, so he could show her the ropes. Rory was a little nervous about telling Jess, but he had 2 jobs and she didn't have any. She didn't think it was fair at all, and she was pretty sure he'd be on board with the idea. Rory left her mother to find Jess and tell him about her new temporary job.
---------------------------------------
Jess had been scanning the bookshelves for an hour trying to find something to read. His trail always came back to the baby books. Rory had been steering clear of them for the past couple of months, and he was a little curious to see what was so bad about them. Jess figured they'd have some descriptive words, but it wouldn't be anything he couldn't handle, so he picked one off the shelf and sat down in a plush chair.
He read the table of contents and decided to skip the first trimester since Rory's was almost over. Turning the page, he saw what was in store for him now. More severe mood swings and even more weight gain. The baby would start developing faster and the sex could be found out by an ultrasound. He read one section that made his heart jump a little; movements of the fetus could be felt as early as four months.
He skipped ahead to the third trimester and saw all the stages of development. Jess was fascinated how much of a person the child looked at seven months. The cravings and massive weight gain didn't look too appetizing for Rory, but he was still intrigued by the idea of feeling the baby kick and move inside of Rory. He turned the page, and the awe that was on his face was replaced by one of horror. Jess had reached the birth section.
---------------------------------
Rory would have skipped into the bookstore if she wasn't pregnant. Instead, she settled with power walking. She saw Jess engrossed in a book and smiled at how cute he looked. His forehead was creased and he was staring intently at the page. Creeping behind him she sneaked a peak over his shoulder and almost screamed when she saw what he was looking at. It was one of those baby books!
"Why are you reading that?" Rory inquired, disgusted.
Jess nearly jumped out of his skin, "What are you doing here?"
"I already saw Mom and I was coming to tell you something, but I repeat why are you reading that?" she informed him.
"I want to be informed, and I think you should be, too," Jess told her, truthfully.
Rory shook her head, "No! I'm not ready to read the scary books, especially not the ones with pictures."
"I have an idea, we can buy the book and you only have to read about the second trimester," he offered, "deal?"
Rory sighed, "Deal. Hurry up and buy the stupid book so we can go to the diner. I'm starving."
Jess went ahead and paid for the book. While they were standing in line, Rory realized she hadn't told Jess about the job at the inn. She decided to tell him once they got to the diner. Rory thought he'd be okay with it, but sometimes Jess could be unpredictable. She would only be working for a few weeks, so it wasn't a big deal. A part of her wished it was more permanent, though, but she knew there was no way she could work for anyone outside of family. Hand in hand, the couple walked to Luke's.
-------------------------------------
Luke was taking orders when Rory and Jess strolled into the diner. In his hand, Jess was carrying a book with a picture of a pregnant lady on it. Luke had to suppress a laugh at the sight of bad boy Jess carrying a book about babies and pregnancy. Jess helped Rory onto a stool and he took their order. Rory turned to Jess and told him about her encounter at the Dragonfly.
"The job would only be for a few weeks while Michel was out of town," she finished.
Jess smiled and took her hand, "If you want to work, I think it's great."
Relief washed over her, because she didn't want to fight with her newlywed husband. They embraced and Rory linked his hand with hers. Luke watched this exchange and started to miss Lorelai. Just as the thoughts entered his head, she hopped into the diner and threw her arms around Luke and kissed him passionately. When she pulled away he had a grin from ear to ear on his face.
"Want coffee, Lor?" he asked her.
She laughed, "Do you even have to ask?!"
She took a seat next to Rory and they started planning the weeks Rory would be working. Jess would start working at Luke's and the bookstore the next day, so he was enjoying his last hours of freedom. Rory wished he'd get his diploma, but what she didn't know was he was in the midst of studying for his GED. He didn't want to tell her until he was sure he had it. The next fall Jess was going to go to college with Rory; he owed that much to her.
Rory gave Jess a parting kiss as she left him to buy some clothes. He walked down to their bridge and laid on it for a while thinking about how he would bring his child down here some day to read them a story. The bridge meant a lot to him and Rory. This is where it all started. On this bridge he fell in love with his Rory.
A/N: Hallo loves! A little sappy at the end, I know, but what can I say except the potential fatherhood is turning Jess into a mush. I'm going to try to update as soon as I can cuz after this I want to try my hand at writing a Trory. I love the Valentine's Challenge and I'm thinking of starting my own thing for the summer.
