Chapter 14

Rory/Leigh's POV

I was laying in my hospital bed listening to my friends and family talk outside in the hall. Then I noticed my door open and Jess sneak in. When he saw me looking at him he smiled and walked over to my bed. Oh my god. He smiled that smile that I love so much. His smile is incredibly gorgeous.

Rory/Leigh: (smiling) Hey sexy!

Jess: (smirking) Did they give you to much morphine for the pain!?!

Rory/Leigh: (smiling) No. The pain isn't that bad.

Jess looked at me funny for a minute. And then I remembered he didn't know that I had been shot before.

Rory/Leigh: (matter-of-factly) the pain isn't to bad this time. It was worse the first time I got shot, 3 years ago.

Jess: (surprised) You were shot before?

Rory/Leigh: Yeah. But don't worry about it. It was just one of those "at the wrong place at the wrong time" things. Nothing to get worried about.

Jess: (concerned) What happened?

Rory/Leigh: I was visiting Bri in New York and we were helping Brandon move. It wasn't the best place to live and before we knew there were bullets flying. He had this psycho neighbor who thought we were trying to kidnap him or something so he opened fire on us.

Jess: (surprised) That was you? -- How long had you been going out with McAllister?

Rory/Leigh: About one month.

I sat up and moved the back of my hospital gown. I could tell when he saw the scar on the back of my left hip, he gasped. Then I felt him touch my skin really delicately, as he ran his fingers over my scar. His touch was so gentle and comforting. I couldn't help but close my eyes and let my mind wander to thoughts of other places that I really wanted his hands.

Jess: (quietly) I wish I had met you back then.

Rory/Leigh: Believe me no you don't. I was to naive and delusional back then. I'm glad not now though. I know I've gone through all this shit to get here. But here is where you're my boyfriend. And I'm glad I'm here. I wouldn't change it for the world. (smiling)

Jess smiled at me and gave me a gentle kiss. After the kiss I pulled him down on the bed to sit behind me. He did, and held me in his arms. I love the feeling I get when I'm in his arms. He makes me feel so safe and loved.

Rory/Leigh: (happily) I love you dodger.

Jess: (smiling) I love you too, princess.

Rory/Leigh: (frowning) I am not a princess.

Jess: (smirking) You're my princess.

And with that he started kissing me down my neck.

Rory/Leigh: mmmm…If I get this kind of treatment being a princess, I think for once, I won't object.

Jess smirked into my shoulder and held on to me a little tighter.

Jess: (distantly) Rory, do me a favor. Please don't lad your self in the hospital again any time soon. I don't think I could take it if anything happened to you.

I couldn't help but smile.

Rory/Leigh: Nothing is going to happen to me baby, well at least nothing that we won't be able to make it through, okay. You're my guy and there is no way that I'm going to be going anywhere with our you.

I looked up at him and smiled. He smiled in return and kissed me like he always does. The kisses that let me know that I am completely and totally loved by him.

Mmmmmmmmm. I really love his kisses. But I was so caught up in my boyfriend that I didn't hear my mom walk in.

Lorelai: (smirking) Okay you two. I get the whole wanting to be close to each other right now. But could you wait to get all kissy-kissy till after your grandparents leave.

Rory/Leigh: (breathless) sure.

Jess nodded and moved to get up, but I held onto him and mom shook her head.

Lorelai: No, Jess, you can stay there. Just don't eat her face in front of them. (smirking)

Jess just nodded again. But this time he got comfortable again, and held me to his chest. I rested my head on his shoulder. And he leaned his cheek against my head.

My mom smiled at us.

Lorelai: I'll be right back you guys. You two relax before the Gilmore's get here. -- Oh and Brandon called he and Jake should be here by this evening.

Jess and I just nodded. After she left I closed my eyes and rested peacefully against my boyfriend. He must have closed his eyes too, because the next thing I know were both groaning after a flash goes off in front of our eyes. I opened my eyes to see my mom smiling with a camera in her hand.

Rory/Leigh: (smiling) Mom what are you doing?

Lorelai: I took a picture of my wonderful daughter and her wonderful boyfriend while in a peaceful mode. (smiling proudly) --- (firmly) By the way young man, you have yet to tell us about yourself growing up.

Jess: (calmly) Yeah. I know. But now is not the time.

But I could feel the tension that had crept into Jess' body. Whenever he does finally tell us, it's going to be a hard day on all of us. I can tell you that right now.

I brought my left arm up and put it around his neck and held him tight. I rested my right hand on his leg and rubbed gentle, light circles there. I felt him kiss my head and sigh as he relaxed into me. It was then I realized my boyfriend had never been comforted by anyone he really loved. I already hate his parents, from what little I've been told about them. But the more I realize how much he was deprived of, especially the simple things, such as comfort, it really pisses me off.

I think my mom saw this too. Because she came over and pulled him into a hug and gave him a gentle kiss in his hair. Jess leaned into my mom. And I saw the look on his face. The one that told me he wished his mom had been more like this.

Lorelai: (whispering) They can't hurt you anymore, Jess. We won't let them.

I turned around and buried my head in his chest. I felt one of his arms around my back. I looked up a little and saw that his other arm was around my mom. I also saw tears in my moms eyes as her new "son" held her close.

Jess: (quietly) I wish I had know what a real family was like a long time ago. --- But I'm glad to be learning now.

Lorelai: (whispering) Your family now Jess. And I love you as though you are one of my boys.

Rory/Leigh: (teasingly) yeah, I love you too. But in a girlfriend way.

And with that I saw my boyfriend smile as he hugged his girlfriend and his newly acquired mom.

Jess: (barley audible) I love you guys too.

My mom and I smiled and held him tighter. And then there was another flash. We all looked to see Sookie and Alley taking pictures with smiles on their faces.

Rory/Leigh: Alls go get dad, Bri, and Tris. (smiling)

Alley smirked and got the other. A few minutes later dad was standing next to mom, with his arms around her waist. Alley was sitting next to me with one arm over Jess' shoulder and her head on my shoulder. And Bri and Tris were standing behind us. Bri out jess into a head lock and Tris put Bri into a head lock as well. Sookie smiled and took a couple of pictures of this pose, and many more pictures with other goofy poses we all came up with.

A/N: Well here is Chapter 14. I hope you like and remember to read and review. Thanks everyone.
