A/N: Happy New Year everyone! I'm sorry it took me so long to update, but it's vacation and I've been in France an entire week... Hope you like this chapter...
"Show me! Show me!" Lorelai yelled as she let Rory, Jess, Lora and Jeff in. Jeff was a bit surprised by this welcome, she hardly even noticed him. He was also surprised at how much Lora looked like this woman, even more than she looked like Rory.
Lora pulled the ultrasound from her bag and gave it to her grandmother. Lorelai accepted it with a grin. "It's beautiful."
"You can keep it, we made copies" Lora told her, after which she received a hug.
"Lorelai, maybe you should let the kids in." A voice came from the living room. The grandfather, Jeff assumed.
Lorelai grinned and rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry." And then she turned to Jeff.
"So, you're the boyfriend." She gave him the once over and then shook his hand. "As you might know, I'm Lora's grandmother, call me Lorelai." Jeff just nodded.
Lorelai turned to her daughter. "Did I intimidate him?" Rory shrugged and gave her mother a kiss.
"Hoodlum." "Mother." And with that, the greeting ritual was over and they entered the living room.
Luke entered as well and hugged his nephew, step-daughter and granddaughter and then stopped and looked at Jeff. "Be nice, Luke." Lorelai said softly.
"Mr. Danes." Jeff put out his hand, a bit scared. "Jeff, was it?" Jeff nodded. The man took his hand and shook it. Jeff did his best not to sigh from relief.
"Where's Lucas?" Rory inquired as they sat down in the couch. "He's not coming tonight."
Lorelai's eyes where sparkling. "What's her name?" Rory asked her mother.
Jeff couldn't help but smile, these women were incredible.
"Rose."
"Yale?" Lora joined their conversation.
"Oxford, she's an exchange student apparently." Lorelai spoke, not being able to hide how proud she was.
"I hope it doesn't get too serious."
Everyone looked at Rory, surprised, except for Lorelai, she seemed to understand what was going on.
"I told him the same thing, but he said she wants to move here. Besides, have you ever seen your brother in a relationship longer than two or three months?"
Rory shrugged. "It could happen you know."
"Mom, come on, it's Lucas, he's like the heartbreaker of Stars Hollow." Lora objected.
"I'm sure he'll be glad to hear that." Luke told the three women.
"Well, we won't tell them, and you won't either." Lorelai put out her tongue.
Jeff was observing the entire situation very carefully. He'd been to Lora's house regularly and knew her parents rather well, but this was entirely different. It was as if these three women would understand each other without saying a word. Very fascinating indeed.
"They do this all the time, you'll get used to it." Jeff looked up surprised, Jess was talking to him.
"So, Jeff, Rory tells me you are the son of Paris Gellar." Why did everyone know his mother?
"Yeah." He answered Lorelai's question.
"Ah, a new one-syllable man." Now he was getting confused.
"Grandma." Lora rolled her eyes.
"He reminds me of Jess when he was your age."
Now what was he supposed to say to that?
"Which reminds me, you need a nickname." Seriously, this woman was just disturbed.
"Lorelai, please." Jess looked at his mother-in-law, couldn't she spare the boy a little?
"No complaining Hoodlum."
Jess turned to the teenager. "She'll give you a nickname and you'll be stuck with it your entire life." "I'll live." Jeff said calmly. "I highly doubt that." Jess shook his head as he watched Lorelai 'think'.
"Mini-Christopher?" Jeff was the only one at the table that didn't quite grasp that, but Luke objected. "Lorelai!"
The woman shrugged. "It was only a joke." "Well, it wasn't very funny." "Sorry."
"What about…" She continued. "Frenchie."
"That's just too far-fetched." Rory complained, but the rest of them just stared.
"Frenchie?" Luke repeated after her.
"He's Paris's son, you know, Paris is the capital of France, so he's French."
Luke rolled his eyes. "You've got to be kidding me."
"Okay, but do you have another idea?"
"Why don't we just not give me a nickname?" Jeff couldn't stand this any longer.
"Not a chance in hell, dear." Lorelai answered.
"Nice try." Jess told him. "Thanks."
"He's got a point, mom, why does he need a nickname?"
Lorelai couldn't believe her ears. Had her own daughter just said that?
"Because, my dear offspring, everyone needs some kind of nickname, especially if they are boyfriends of the Gilmore girls. It's tradition."
"We didn't give Dean a nickname?"
Lorelai paused for a moment. Then a smirk appeared on her face.
"We didn't have to, Tristan did it for us."
"Bagboy." Jess remembered.
"Bagboy, Bible Boy, Hoodlum. That's a nice group of boyfriends you have there Ror."
"First of all, I never dated Tristan, second, what about Logan?"
Both women were enjoying their selves immensely.
"He gave you a nickname, and I hardly knew him." Lorelai objected, but Rory had won, and she knew it.
"Fine." Jeff had never seen a fifty-year-old woman pout, but there was a first for everything. At least Lora had a funny grandmother, he could hardly say that about his grandparents.
"Are you telling Stars Hollow?" Luke tried to start the conversation again. Jeff couldn't help but stare at him, why did everyone find it necessary to tell the whole town?
"We figured we'd tell Patty."
"That'll do it." Luke couldn't hide that he was seeing the humour in the whole thing. "You sure you want EVERYONE to know?" He was frowning now.
"Yeah, hun, Mrs Kim will do everything in her power to stop Allie from hanging out with you ever again." Lorelai backed him up, the pouting had ended.
"Allie Rygalski?" Jeff asked surprised.
"Yeah, her grandmother lives here." Jeff nodded. He didn't really know the girl that well.
Lora and Allie had always been friends, but Allie toured a lot with her parents so she was often away from school.
"I don't think Lane and Dave let Allie alone with the woman, so she probably won't get a chance." Rory remarked.
"How are they anyway?" And the conversation shifted again, thanks to Lorelai.
"They're touring through Europe at the moment." Lora informed her.
"Europe loves them, if you believe Lane. She called me last week, she sounded more excited than I've ever seen her."
"Purple hair excited?" Jeff looked from Lorelai to Rory to Lora, who smiled. He seriously needed a history lesson about these people.
"More like, first time she met Dave excited."
"Good for her."
