Rory and Jess broke apart both needing to catch their breath.

"We should get back to the diner. Luke will be mad if I don't get back to work."

"Yea and I'm sure my mom will be there too."

"And Rory?"

"Huh?"

"I never forgave my self for leaving you."

"I'm just glad you came back."

Rory smiled and kissed Jess again before walking back to the diner hand in hand.

"Yea I'm glad too." Lorelai smiled and her daughters happiness.

"And I'm so glad that your happy and Jess makes you happy so I'm ok with it"

"Thank you so much mom" she said as she gave her mom a big hug.

"Hey mom?"

"Yea sweetie?"

"I know your not very happy with grandma and grandpa but are you going to tell them about your engagement?"

"Rory – "

Luke heard Rory's question and decided to put in some input. "Lorelai I think Rory's right. You have to tell them.

"Yea they'll be more upset if you wait." Rory said.

"I guess you both are right. But first I want to clear up everything else.

Rory nodded in agreement and Luke thought it was a good idea too.

(Gilmore house)

Lorelai and Rory were sitting on the couch when Rory suggested she call her mother.

"Rory do I have to?" Lorelai pleaded

"Yes now go. I'm going to go in my room and read if you need me."

"K babe"

Lorelai walk up and picked up the phone. She really didn't want to do this but at the same time she knew she needed to. She dialed the number and waited for someone to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Uh mom?"

"Lorelai what do you need?" she asked trying to sound annoyed but was really glad Lorelai called.

"Um well I was wondering if Rory, Luke, and I could come to dinner tomorrow night for dinner. We need to talk to you."

"Well of course you can come. But what's this all about?"

"See you tomorrow around 7?"

"Sure, see you then"

"Bye mom."

Lorelai hung up the phone relived the phone call had gone ok but was nervous about tomorrow night.

Rory was in her room waiting for her mom to get off the phone with her grandma. Once she was sure Lorelai was off the phone she picked up the phone and dialed the number that had been dialed not minutes before.

"Hello?" her grandmother answered.

"Hi grandma"

"Oh Rory, hello. I was just speaking to your mother.

"Yea that's what I was calling about. What my mom has to say is very important to her and I wanted to ask you to please be nice to her. No yelling, just hear her out. Please for me and mom?"

"What is this about Rory?"

"You'll see. Just please promise.?" Rory pleaded.

Emily let out a sigh. "Fine"

"Thank you grandma. I'll see you tomorrow night and also please don't tell mom I called."

"Ok I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Rory"

"Goodbye Grandma." Rory hung up and laid down to read her book. A few minutes she heard her mom come in and looked up from her book.

"Rory I'm going over to Luke's. I'll be back later. Love ya babe"

"Bye mom"

Around 10:30 that night Rory heard a knock at her window. She got up to unlock the window when she realized who it must be. She opened the window and greeted Jess with a kiss.

"Hey" Rory said when they broke away.

"Hi"

"Well come on in. She opened the window and greeted Jess with a kiss.

"Hey" Rory said when they broke away.

"Hi"

"Well come on in. You know you could have used the front door, my moms out with Luke."

Jess now inside the window, "Well how was I supposed to know that. Plus more fun this way." He sat down next to Rory on her bed and kissed her again.

"Hey I almost forgot. While I was in California I saw this and got it just in case you ever spoke to me again. He held up a hard back copy of The Fountainhead. She grabbed it and was looking through it. "It's a first copy" he said with a genuine smile.

Rory's face lit up and she gave Jess a huge hug and gave him a kiss on the cheek .
"Jess I can't believe. This is so great. You don't even like this book."

"I know but I saw it and it was a first copy and it reminded me of you. I couldn't resist buying it."

Rory smiled and pulled Jess into a passionate kiss. Jess responded by running his hands through her hair and deepened the kiss. Rory ran her hands through his hair. She so much missed his hair.

"Jess?" Rory asked through the kiss.

"Huh?"

"Would you read the book to me?"

Jess pulled away and looked at Rory with a pleading look "Rory please you know I hate that book."

"Please Jess? For me?" Rory pouted.

He missed her pouting. It made him give into anything she wanted. "Fine" Jess sighed.

Jess laid back on Rory's bed while she laid her head on his chest. Jess started to read the book to her but not long after she fell asleep. Jess stopped reading and watched her sleep. Without knowing it he also drifted off to sleep.
