Chapter Two: The Luckiest Girl Alive Meets Her Ex's Fiancée

--

Luke's Diner - Stars Hollow, Connecticut

Luke Danes was wiping up the counters when he looked up to see his nephew, Jess Mariano, and a girl that he could not identify.

"Uncle Luke." Jess greeted.

"Jess." Luke replied. He glanced over to the girl that Jess was with and added, "and friend.

Jess took his friend's hand and announced, "This is Tracy – my fiancée."

Luke's jaw literally dropped when Jess announced that he had a fiancée. She was pretty and tall with brownish curly hair. She smiled at Luke and then at Jess.

"Married?" Luke said.

Jess nodded, "In October, a few weeks before Tracy's birthday." The couple looked at each other and smiled. Luke had never seen Jess this happy before … other than when he was with Rory.

Yale University - New Haven, Connecticut

"I can't believe that you're taking a class with David Brynes." Paris said, as she watched Rory pack her things. They were previously discussing the class and how easy it was to pass. "I mean he's young, intelligent, rich, and single."

Rory smiled, "He also is writing a sequel to his book and he might let us read it and even revise it."

Paris was in shock, "You're going to be his personal editor?" Rory nodded and continued to back. Paris added, "You like him don't you?"

"I never said that." Rory pointed out, grabbing her bag and walking out the door.

Paris followed her and walked in front of her, "I heard that you were making glances at him during class."

"Who told you that?" Rory demanded, upset that people were spreading things about her.

"Never mind that, just tell me – his he as cute as he is on the back cover of his book?"

Rory walked out the door and yelled back at her, "He's better."

Paris smiled and took out her autographed copy of David's book. "She is the luckiest girl ever."

Dragonfly Inn – Stars Hollow, Connecticut

"Rory!" Lorelai happily said as she saw her daughter enter the Dragonfly. She saw that Rory had two duffel bags so she added, "And how long do we plan on staying with Mommy?"

"A week." Rory reminded her. She grabbed one of her duffle bags and Lorelai took the other one. When they got to Lorelai's desk, Rory asked, "So how are things with you and Luke?"

Lorelai smiled, "Fine. He's moving in soon." They dropped the bags and headed to the kitchen.

"Already?" Rory asked, grabbing a cookie that Sookie freshly baked, "How long have you two been together?"

"A month and a half." Lorelai reminded her. She smiled, happy to finally be able to be open about her and Luke.

Luke's Diner – Stars Hollow, Connecticut

Luke was staring at Jess and Tracy talk in the corner of the diner. She was smiling and laughing and so was he. They were both so chipper and looked happy. Luke didn't like how happy his nephew was. He casually wandered off to their table and poured them both coffees. "How's it going?" he asked.

"Great." Jess said, trying to ward his uncle out of their table. But Luke didn't budge, instead he glanced at Tracy and asked her a few questions, "So where are you from?"

Tracy smiled and answered, "Originally Long Island. Then I moved to New Jersey because I was offered an internship there."

Luke continued on, ignoring the fact that Jess was giving him the look that said, 'Please just leave her alone.' "Did you go to college?"

"Yeah. New York University, Jess and I met through mutual friends." She smiled politely at Luke and took a sip of her coffee, "That's really good Mr. Danes."

"Please, call me Luke. Now does your family know about you two?" He pressed, wanting to know everything about his future 'niece'

"Yeah. They were like the first people that we told. They're paying for half of the wedding."

Luke nodded his head, "Oh so it's going to be a big wedding."

Tracy began, "Well …"

Jess interrupted her, "Well look at the time, it seems like we're going to be late for that thing that we planned."

Tracy looked confused; she glanced at the clock and asked, "What thing?"

Jess stood up and so did Tracy. "You know, that thing with those people that we have to be at like now."

Tracy and Jess headed out the door, "Bye. Luke." Tracy called out before leaving.

In front of Taylor's candy Shoppe – Stars Hollow, Connecticut

"Jess. What is wrong with you?" Tracy asked when they were finally out of the diner. Jess didn't reply, instead he grabbed Tracy and kissed her forcefully on the lips. They were sharing a little moment until a voice said, "Jess?"

They both looked up to see Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter, Rory.

Jess and Tracy were both embarrassed. Jess waved to them, "Hey." He pointed to Tracy and explained, "This is Tracy Stevens, my fiancée."

The Gilmore Girls both had the same expression that Luke had when Jess told him the news earlier. No one could believe that Jess was getting marred.
