Chapter 16
Lorelai's POV
For the past hour and a half Luke and I sat down in the living room, and talked about his sister. Mostly, he told me what he was like growing up and how he felt like he didn't even know her now. He couldn't get over what he had discovered tonight. He couldn't believe how much she had neglected Jess. I didn't like it either. Not only was that boy making my daughter life better, but he had touched mine too. He was best friends with Chris, and he got along with Alley even though I could tell she was to preppy for him. And even though he had just met Tristan, they were both getting along with each other. And of course now Luke was looking out for him as though he was his son.
When we were done talking, Luke stayed in the living room to mull over the things he had learned this evening. And I went to check on the growing number of teenagers that were our children.
After Liz had left and we had managed to calm him down, Rory had taken Jess to her room, of course the window was fixed now. And Alley, Chris, and Tristan had moved to the kitchen where they were currently playing a very angry game of "WAR", using three decks of cards.
Lorelai: (sighing) Hey, how are you guys doing?
T, A, C/B: (mumbling) Peachy.
Lorelai: (smiling) It's times like these when I know you guys are four-tuplets.
Tristan: (chuckling) Mom the word isn't four-tuplets, it's quadruplets.
Lorelai: Yeah yeah. Don't mess with mommy's mind and use those big words that they teach you at Chilton. (smirking)
I smiled at them and then went to check on Rory and Jess. As I was leaving the three just shook there heads in amusement. When I got to Rory's room I saw Jess and Rory laying in her bed. Jess was asleep and curled into her with one arm around her waist and his head laying on her chest. Rory had her eyes closed but she wasn't asleep. Her left hand was running up and down Jess' T-shirt clad back, her right hand was running through his hair.
I smiled and quietly turned to Alley.
Lorelai: (whispering) Alley, get my camera for me hun!
Alley quickly got me my camera and everyone took a quick look in Rory's room and smiled. I couldn't help but take a few pictures of the two of them. They both looked so peaceful, when not long ago the mood in the house was anything but.
After a few more moments of watching them, I quietly closed the door and let them sleep. Chris ended up crashing in Tristan's room, so as not to disturb Rory and Jess. Alley went to her room to do homework, and Luke and I went to our room to try and get some sleep after the days events.
A/N: Well here is Chapter 16. I know its short but I didn't want to dwell on the part of the "after effects" to long, since like 99% of my reviewers want more Jess and Rory action. Don't worry its coming. Read and review.
Thanks
