Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls or any of those Characters - Amy Sherman-Palladino does. I do own most of the plot, if it was used on a different fanfic, I am not aware of this

A/N: I am so sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I have been watching Gilmore girls season 3 in all my free time. I also have this important mock trial going on in my English class. Ugh, I can't believe the season finale is tonight. Well, it should be a good one! Ok, back to what you came here to read. Oh I found out it was about 20 minutes to Yale, I think. If I am wrong, correct me. Oh and just ignore the whole hour and a half I wrote before. We will pretend it was. Oh and I decided from watching last weeks episode, that Rory is not doing her internship anymore. I am sorry!


"Ok, is he wearing spandex?" Lane asked Rory.

"Hell yea!" Rory said smiling.

"Is that Logan he is talking to?" Lane asked squinting.

"Ok, he promised no fighting."

"I see a handshake and a going the separate ways," Dave added.

"Oh, well, that's good, now, is Jess taking off his shirt or getting ready to go in the water?" Rory was smiling.

"Well, he is meeting with about 4 other guys, one really short, and they are walking into the boathouse," Dave said.

"Now, don't you have a good sight," Rory said, trying to squint to see what he is seeing.

"No, I just have binoculars and have been hiding it from you two," Dave laughed.

"He is my boyfriend! I want the binoculars!"

"Fine," he reluctantly handed them over.

After Rory was gazing through the binoculars watching Jess get ready, Lane looked around their surroundings. "Uh, Rory, this can't be good," she said as she pointed behind them.

Rory turned around, "Now, how did they find out about this, I thought mom said they were going to stay out of other people's business. Wait, mom!"

Lane laughed when Lorelei came up and gave Rory a hug, "They followed me, I told them nothing, I swear!"

"Make them leave," Rory was a bit mad.

"Oh, yea, I also couldn't wait to tell you the important thing," Lorelei said, smiling.

"Tell me after you get them to leave," Rory said, as she went back to look for Jess through the binoculars.

"Fine," Lorelei said as she went towards the Stars Hollow group. Lorelei cattled them back into their cars and they drove off.

"What did you say to them?" Dave was confused.

"That Luke called and there was some hooligan there, writing graffiti all over the town."

"Nice," Dave laughed.

"Oh, they are getting on the water!" Rory exclaimed.

"Let me see," Lorelei said as she grabbed the binoculars. "Ok, now I know why you really wanted to come watch this. Nice spandex Jess!" Lorelei laughed.

A little bit later, Rory watched two boats set up in a race formation. She looked who was in the other boat.

"Oh no!" Rory exclaimed.

"What!" The other three exclaimed.

"Well, Jess's boat is racing Logan's"

"That can either lead to trouble or an easy victory," Lane said.

"I don't know what that means!" Rory confessed.

They watched the race and Jess's boat win. Everyone decided to wait for Jess to come out. So they had some small talk.

"Oh, wait mom, what did you want to tell me? I totally forgot!" Rory was curious.

"Uh, well, remember you are the 3rd person to find out," Lorelei said.

"Ok, so Luke and Sookie know," Rory said.

"Yes, they know," Lorelei was stalling.

"So, what did you want to tell me, mom, I cannot wait any longer!"

"Well, I had a craving for an apple and all that,"

"Apple, now that is weird."

"And I got a test done, and found something out."

"Which is?" Lane asked. Her and Dave were into the story now.

"I am pregnant!" Lorelei exclaimed.

"With Luke!" Rory exclaimed.

"Of course," Lorelei was surprised.

"Wait, wrong thing to say, I am so happy, I get a little brother or sister, or both if it goes according to that dream of yours about 3 years back."

"Yay, wait what dream?" Lane asked.

"She dreamt she was married to Luke and she was pregnant with his twins."

"Ok, fill in details later."

"Wait, were you trying?" Rory asked.

"Going away from people not named Lorelei," Lorelei said, dragging Rory a little away from everyone.

"Were you?" Rory repeated.

"No"

"How did it happen?"

"One drunken mistake."

"Ok, now I really didn't want to ask that, this will be getting to disgusting for me."

"Well, I just want to make sure that…well that you are safe and all."

"I am"

"Ok, I will get more into detail with that later," Lorelei said nodding over towards Jess walking towards them.

Rory, feeling a bit awkward from that discussion, went up to him. "You are wet, I thought you were in the boat," she exclaimed as they kissed.

"Well, there was this initiation thing where they threw me in the water."

"Damn, I can't believe I missed that!"

"Wait, you weren't watching me this whole time!"

"I was until two seconds ago, I was talking to my mom."

"Oh, yes, that important thing she had to tell you," Jess looked past Rory, "Hey Lorelei!"

"Hello Jess, nice rowing"

"I can't believe you said that with a straight face," Rory said turning around.

"Neither can I, wait, the laughter is a bit slower. I see the spandex close up!" Lorelei said laughing.

"Yea, it's a great look, man, maybe I should start dressing like that!" Dave exclaimed.

"I would be pleased," Lane joked.

"Ok, so I am going to go back to Stars Hollow, I will see you all later!" Lorelei said and walked off.

"So, after I shower, what do you all want to do?" Jess said.

"Dinner," Rory and Lane said at the same time.

"We can hang at my dorm until then," Rory said, "We will meet you back there," she told Jess. They kissed. Rory, Dave, and Lane walked off in one direction as Jess walked off in the other.


At Rory's apartment:

"So this is double date like!" Lane said.

"We have been hanging like this the whole past weekend, what is different?" Rory asked.

"You and Jess are officiallygoingout now!"

"Ok, you are right."

They hung out for a while, just waiting for Jess to come back. About a half an hour later, he showed up.

"Hey," Jess walked in without knocking. It was about 6:30 and Lane, Rory, and Dave were flipping through the channels, just hanging. Jess took a seat next to Rory and kissed her. "Its good that its not as awkward as when we first started going out," Jess exclaimed, getting himself comfortable with his arm around Rory and Rory lying with her head resting on his chest.

"Yes, but we don't have that whole awkward feeling that the whole town is watching us," Rory added.

"So, should we go to dinner, or wait for a little bit?" Jess asked.

"I don't know man, I am kind of comfortable!" Dave said, in a similar positing as Jess.

"Good, me too!" Jess said as he kissed Rory's forehead.

They all stayed like that for about and hour and a half, where there was a knock at Rory's door.

"Where is Paris to get that?" Jess asked, as Rory got up.

"That is a good question." Rory said, walking over to the door.

She opened the door to find no other than: "Hey Ace!" Logan said barging in her dorm.

"Logan, what are you doing?" Rory asked as he walked up to the couch.

"Why are you still here, I thought we had a deal?" Logan asked Jess.

"Logan, I told you not to bother us, why don't you just leave, wait what is this deal?" Rory was confused as Jess stood up.

"Rory, I think I need to talk to Logan outside a bit, do you mind?" Jess asked, carefully glancing back at Logan every so often.

"Jess, no, you promised no more fighting," Rory got worried now, and Jess noticed, "Uh, Logan, can we take care of this later?" Jess asked not keeping his eyes off Rory.

"Jess, look out!" Rory yelled as Logan's fist flew towards Jess's face, but luckily Jess ducked.

"Logan, just leave," Rory exclaimed; hurt was written in her voice and eyes.

"Jess, what is going on?" Rory was confused.

"Uh, me and Lane are going to see if there are any local band playing right now," Dave said, leaving Jess and Rory alone.

Jess kept his head down and sat on the couch, "I blew it, I blew it again. I promised I wouldn't, but I'm Jess, I screw up everything that is important to me!" Jess never looked up at Rory. He was surprised how open he was, keeping that promise to himself and Rory.

"Jess, you didn't blow it," Rory said turning his head to face her's, she kissed him to show that everything would be alright. "Just tell me what is going on."

"First of all, I had no intention of fighting Logan, I just wanted to keep it outside because I wasn't sure what he would do," Jess said, brining Rory closer to him to keep her safe.

"But what was that about? The deal?" Rory asked.

"Well, at the boat house, before we started rowing, Logan brought something to my attention." Jess was stalling.

"What?"

"Rory, I don't want you to think less of Logan, I would feel bad about making you mad, but…I will anyway." Jess warned her.

"That just brings my hopes up."

"So, Logan said that if I stayed away from you, I would stay on the team."

"Is that possible?" Rory asked.

"Well, it seems that he decides who the new team members are because he is the captain."

"There was so little that I knew about him." Rory got deja-vous saying that.

"Yea, and he wanted you back so he decided to play that on me."

"But he knows the only way you can come to Yale is if you row."

"Exactly, so I decided that I would say I would stay away from you, but actually secretively see you when Logan does not know it."

"How were you planning on doing that?"

"I don't know, but I can stop trying to figure that out!"

"Well, you have to figure out how to stay here."

"Good point."

"Oh and Jess?"

"Yea?"

"Thank you for not fighting him."

"I keep my promises."

"And…"

"Yea?"

"You can fight him if you promise not to get hurt and to have someone with you just in case you need back up."

"You are pissed off at him."

"He is dead meat, in other words."

"Rory?"

"Yes?"

"I love you" Jess knew that they really haven't told each other that since they got together. Jess wanted to make sure he said everything that he wanted to just in case he would regret it later.

"I love you, too" Rory said, sitting up and kissing him.

"So should we go find Lane and Dave?" Jess asked.

"Yup…" Rory got up and looked through the peep thingy in their door to see if Lane and Dave were there, "How long do you think they were listening for?"

"Until we said we were going to find them, I saw them run away through the window."

"Ok, lets go find them now." Jess got up and grabbed Rory's hand as they left.


That night, after dinner, in Rory's room:

Jess and Rory were kissing. Jess wanted to make no mistakes this time, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes," Rory said, laughing a bit because of how worried Jess was.


The next morning:

Rory woke up in his arms, happier than ever. She felt safe in his arms. All her worries went away when he was holding her.

Jess felt her stir in his arms. How did I ever deserve this? How am I going to keep this? He was never this happy. He was never 1/10 of how happy he was feeling now. He didn't worry about staying in Yale, or making mistakes, or work.

"Morning," Jess said, opening his eyes seeing that she was staring back into them.

"Morning"

Jess leaned over and kissed Rory, "Are you hungry?"

"Do you even have to ask?"

About 10 minutes later they were waiting in the living room of the dorm on the couch for Paris and Doyle.

"Should we wake them?" Jess asked, as they were in the same position as yesterday afternoon before the Logan incident.

"No, I am kind of comfortable right now."

"Good, me too."

20 minutes later, Doyle and Paris started arguing waking Jess and Rory, since they fell asleep waiting.

"So 10 more minutes?" Jess asked.

"You remembered!"

"Yea, but trying to forget what they do from now until when we leave."

"Lets just leave without them!" Rory didn't was getting really hungry and needed coffee.

Jess nodded as Rory wrote a note and they left.


At the cafeteria:

"So, Logan, coming up to us, not good," Jess said.

A/N: Again, I am really sorry for making you wait for a bit under a week.
