*Well. That was a surprising turn of events! Now we have to tell the parents!

"Mom? Luke? Is anyone home?" Rory ran into her house enthusiastically, bursting with the news she had for her family.

Jess came up behind her. "It's Friday night. They're at your grandparents". He reminded her.

"Oh yeah. Well, let's go to Hartford, then!" Rory turned around and headed for the door.

Jess took her hand. "First this". He drew his lips to hers and they shared a kiss much like the one they shared, years ago, on that bridge.

*Half an hour later*

Rory and rang the doorbell of her grandparent's enormous home. The Gilmore's latest maid, Henrietta, opened the door and showed them to the living room where the adults were sitting around with martinis, Shanda with a sippy cup of juice.

As soon as Rory and Jess entered the room, Lorelei jumped up and ran over to Rory, shrieking with excitement. Jess had told all of the adults what he was going to do that night, and they all had been waiting in anticipation for them to arrive, knowing that Rory would want to tell her mother the news right away. The adults all took turns coming up to Jess and Rory and talking to them for a few minutes. Lorelei mainly cried, and hugged Rory, then moved on to Jess. Luke came up and took Jess aside "If you ever do anything to hurt her…"

Jess laughed. "You'll hunt me down and kill me. I've got it, but don't worry. I love her."

Next Luke moved to Rory. "If he ever does anything to hurt you…"

Rory laughed. "You'll hunt him down and kill him. I've got it, but don't worry. I think he's changed from the kid he was when he first came here. Seventeen without a purpose or direction".

Finally it was Richard and Emily's turn. They took the two out of the room and Richard handed them each an envelope. Emily explained what the contents were. "Here is $1000 each. You will receive another $1000 a month after the wedding, then after your first child, it will be $1500 and we will hire a part-time maid for you".

Rory and Jess were stunned. "Thank you Grandma and Grandpa, but I don't think this is necessary. We don't need a maid, we'll be in such a small place, and it won't be hard to keep it clean. Luke has given us the apartment above the diner and we really don't need your money. Jess has a job, and I'm qualified to do anything, really, having my Harvard degree. We will be fine." Rory handed her envelope back to her grandfather who handed the money right back.

"Nonsense. We will help you as we would have helped our daughter, had she not run away. We refuse to let you deny yourselves of this."

Rory sighed, defeated. "Alright, but no maid".

Emily smiled "Alright, but if I find out you're having trouble keeping house…" She let the threat go unfinished.

Rory took Jess's hand and the four of them walked back out into the living room.

The rest of the night was spent making wedding plans, dinner completely forgotten until Henrietta came into the room and announced that dinner was ready. Lorelei looked at a sleeping Shanda and knelt down beside her to wake her up.

Rory stopped her mom. "Here mom. Jess and I can take her home and put her to bed. We've already eaten anyway. You guys can have a nice peaceful dinner, which you haven't had since Shanda was born." Rory stooped down and picked up the sleeping infant and carried her to the door. Jess took Shanda while Rory put on her coat, then handed her back and swapped keys with Luke, so that they would have the car seat for the baby. They then said their good byes and made plans to discuss the wedding the next day, then Rory, Jess and Shanda left for home.

*A/N Not too much to say. My brain wave is still going, even though it's 2 am. Yeah, I know that Rory's going to Yale. This story is the way I wish Gilmore Girls was. I also know that Rory and Jess' relationship is doomed, so this isn't going to happen L . Jeez. Sleep brain, sleep! I'll write the next chapter, and then I think I'll be out of ideas, so I'll go to bed. But, you never know! I could be here all night.
