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: So, I will try to update as much as possible, but the week after next I will have exams and then right after that I am going to Italy for a week and a half. I am planning on about 4 more chapters until then. That is only because I will not have a social life this weekend.
The next morning:
Rory woke up and looked around at her surroundings. The TV was still on, she was on the couch in her living room, lying next to Jess. She turned to see the clock, it was 9:45 AM. She got up, careful not to wake Jess, and went upstairs to see if her mom and Luke came home. She peeked into their room, bed was made; there was no sign of them coming home last night. Rory's face grew into disgust, not wanting to know what they did last night. She went back down stairs, to find Jess starting to sit up on the couch.
"Good morning," she said.
"Oh no," he stated.
"What?"
"They didn't come home last night."
"You knew that automatically, I had to go upstairs to see."
"Well, the TV is on, and your mom would of turned that off."
"Good point."
"And I slept over, and they didn't wake me to go home."
"Also, another good point."
"Ugh," Jess sighed.
"Now what?"
"I hope whatever they did was not in my apartment."
"Okay, we are getting off this subject."
"So, you want to go to diner to get breakfast?" Jess said happy to change the subject.
"Sure."
Luke's:
"Hello my darling daughter," Lorelei greeted Rory as she walked into the door. Lorelei was already sitting at the counter.
"Where were you last night?" Rory asked.
"At my inn, I rented a room, we rented a room,"
"Ew, I don't want to know," was all Rory said as her face squished in disgust.
"Yes, not in my apartment," Jess cheered as he walked behind the counter to get Rory some coffee.
"Can I have some?" Lorelei asked.
"If that is for coffee, the answer is no." Luke screamed from the back.
"This pregnant thing wasn't as fun as I remembered it."
"It was fun?" Rory asked.
"No, but I could drink coffee."
"I am surprised you aren't acting weird at all, with the lack of coffee."
"Me too, its like I am dropping it cold turkey."
"So pancakes?" Jess asked Rory.
"Yes," Rory replied with a grin and smiled watching him walk into the kitchen.
"Aw, he knows what you like for breakfast and you can't stop watching him," Lorelei giggled.
"Aw, there is an engagement ring on your finger and you haven't told me that you were engaged yet."
"Luke told you."
"Luke told you that he told me?"
"Yea."
"He thought you would get mad."
"How mad can I get right now, I am engaged!"
"So, details…"
"Ok, he was all awkward trying to get us to eat in the diner."
"Of course he was awkward, its Luke," Rory stated.
Lorelei went on filling in all the details of last night, well, almost all the details. What daughter would want to hear that? Lorelei was so excited, she forgot to look around to make sure no one would listen to her. Unfortunately, Ms. Patty and Babette were gossiping at the closest table over brunch.
"….So I cracked a Friends joke after that comment…" Lorelei continued.
"Lorelei, I would stop saying the details of your night last night and look behind you," Jess pointed out.
Lorelei turned around and saw Babette and Ms. Patty pretending to go back to some random conversation.
"Shit," Lorelei exclaimed, "I wanted to announce it in like the town square or something extreme because I knew the town was waiting for this."
"Well, I guess the old fashion way is cool also," Rory said, "Go back to the details," Rory was totally into the story.
"Rory, hunny, I don't want the town to know everything that happened last night."
"Neither do I," Rory caught on.
"I second that," Jess said as he gave Rory pancakes.
"And I don't want you telling people that," Luke added as he started to refill coffees.
"So, finish the details," Babette screamed.
"Fine," Lorelei gave in, not in the mood to argue.
"He then got all annoyed and shoved out the box and popped the question."
"Aw," Babette, Ms. Patty, and Rory said in unison.
Luke blushed and sighed. Jess just laughed at how uncomfortable Luke was.
"Hey, Jess, I can make you uncomfortable easily, I would not laugh anymore," Luke said.
Jess then thought if he should test him or not, what they hell, Jess continued laughing.
"Do you guys want to hear what Jess said when he first saw Rory in like a year?" Luke asked the girls.
"Yes!" Babette, Ms Patty, and Lorelei said.
"You already know," Rory said to her mom.
"I want to see Jess's face," she whispered back.
"Well, he said he couldn't live without her and that he would be strong and if the only way to get back with her would be moving back, what they hell."
"Aw," The girls said in unison, including Rory.
Jess blushed, then saw Rory aw-ing. "Wait, why are you saying aw-ing?"
"Its just so cute from my perspective now."
That just brought on more awes from the chorus of Babette, Ms. Patty, and Lorelei, which grew when Jess kissed Rory.
"Luke, why can't you be more like Jess?" Lorelei asked, surprised saying that.
"Because I speak in full sentences, not a delinquent, and am very good looking," Luke joked.
"Funny," Jess sarcastically said sitting next to Rory eating.
"I never thought the day would come," Rory stated as she took a bite of her burger.
Jess gave her a puzzled look.
"The day that you and Luke would be compared, but you being the better one."
"Again, funny," She stated sarcastically.
"Of course, in my eyes you were always better than Luke…" Rory tried covering up.
"Yea, I bet." Jess went on being sarcastic.
"Jess, I was just kidding."
"I don't want to hear it Rory," Jess joked.
"You are one mischievous boy."
"No, I am not…I am a mischievous man."
Rory giggled, then a thought popped into her head, which of course she stated. "Wait, Mom, you didn't say if you and Luke set a date or anything."
"We are thinking about this fall," Lorelei said.
"That soon?" Rory asked.
"Well, it either has to be soon or like 9 months later," Lorelei joked, completely regretting what she said, hoping Babette and Ms. Patty would not catch on.
"LORELEI!" Babette screamed, "You're pregnant!"
"Shh," Lorelei tried calming them down.
"That is why you can't have coffee," Ms. Patty put it all together.
"Uh-oh," Lorelei saw the ricochet about to happen around town.
"What big news Patty, she is engaged and pregnant, we must start telling people soon," Babette was about to have a meltdown.
"No, please, we aren't ready to tell the town yet." Lorelei pleaded.
"You're kidding, we overheard the greatest news that ever hit this town…ever. And we cannot share it?" Ms. Patty was about to die.
"We promise we will tell the soon, just not yet." Luke chimed in, trying to save Lorelei.
Rory and Jess just looked at each other, surprised at Luke and Lorelei trying to stop Babette and Ms. Patty from gossiping. Jess just smirked and enjoyed the show that was coming upon them.
"Luke, no, its like telling Merlyn or Gandalf not to use their magic," Babette was astonished.
"Or telling Taylor not to be crazy," Ms. Patty laughed.
"That is a good one Patty," Babette said.
"Hey, yours was intellectual," Ms. Patty said.
"You guys just can't," Lorelei was pretty much on her knees begging.
"Hunny, we will try our best, that is all we can say," Babette said as Ms. Patty nodded.
This astonished Rory, her mother got Babette and Ms. Patty to keep their mouth's shut! Luke took a step back when he heard that they would try their best. Jess just shook his head and smirked when he went back to his food.
"Wow, really?" Lorelei was surprised herself.
"If it means that much to you…" Ms. Patty started.
"Oh, thank you, thank you very much. It means a lot to me…us" Lorelei was grateful.
Later that night:
"So, do you really have to go now?" Jess asked with pleading eyes.
"Well, my first exam is tomorrow, and I haven't opened up a book since class…" Rory started.
"When are you done with your exams?"
"Wednesday."
"That day is common between us."
"Yes, yes it is."
"Okay, call me everyday or I'll come looking for you," Jess said right before he gave her a small peck and helped her in her car and closed the door. Jess's smile faded as he walked back to the diner. What was he going to do without Rory? Ah, yes, try to see Ms. Patty and Babette attempt to keep this secret.
The Diner:
Jess walked in from saying goodbye to Rory.
"Jess, work, now," Luke said busily.
"Fine," he moped over to behind the counter, Luke whizzed passed him. The diner was full on this Saturday night.
Ms. Patty and Babette walked in, looking like they were about to burst. Jess just smirked and found a way not to be depressed that Rory wasn't around.
That Wednesday (A/N: I hope I am not going to fast):
Nothing really happened the last couple days. Ms. Patty and Babette did not burst yet, they still retain the amazing secret. Then, obviously, Luke and Lorelei did not tell either of their secrets yet. Rory and Jess talked on the phone everyday. Rory felt she exceeded on all her exams.
Rory got up when she heard the knock at her door. She was happy he came to pick her up, she was happy to go home, she was happy that she was going to be able to spend more time with everyone, especially Jess. She opened the door. Jess barged in and picked her up and spun her around.
"I've missed you so much!" Rory said after Jess put her down finally.
"I've missed you, too."
"So, they are telling everyone tonight?" Rory asked about her mother and Luke.
"Yea, town meeting, if we don't hurry, we will miss it."
The town meeting:
Taylor hit the gavel against his podium.
"How much do you think he loves doing that?" Lorelei asked Luke.
Luke adjusted his hat, "Wha…What?"
"Luke is nervous!"
"I'm surprised you aren't, and where is our backups?" Luke looked around the room.
"They will be here soon."
"They better."
Taylor went on about the profits from the bid-a-basket auction and the hoodlums that messed up something-or-another. Jess and Rory walked in.
"Whoa, what are you doing here?" Taylor asked, looking at Jess.
Jess pointed to himself, looked behind him and said "Me?"
"Yea,"
"I'm technically part of the town now."
"So, you wouldn't be caught dead here."
Rory covered up for him, "I wanted to go and convinced him to go." They sat next to Lorelei and Luke.
"Fine, back to business, does anyone have any announcements?"
Rory elbowed her mom when she didn't say anything, her mom elbowed back, which made Rory scream, "Ow." That resulted in the whole room's eyes on them.
"Now is a great time," Rory whispered.
"Fine," Lorelei said, "I have an announcement," Lorelei said as she stood up.
Screeches were heard from Ms. Patty and Babette. They were happy that they would not have to hold the secret anymore.
"Luke and I have an announcement I mean," Lorelei corrected herself.
There were discussions amongst the audience.
"Actually two," she started stalling.
Luke finally built up the never to stand up and help her. "Well, first of all, we…we…" He didn't know which one to say first.
"We're engaged!" Lorelei finished, as Luke took her hand.
There was a roar throughout the crowd.
Lorelei yelled, "Uh, that's not it."
The crowd silenced.
"We are also, well she is…." Luke started again.
"We are going to have a baby!" Lorelei finished for him…again.
The crowd's roar grew louder. Taylor hit the gavel so much and so hard that he broke it. The crowd silenced immediately.
"Well, this news, wow, I don't know what to say?" Taylor was astonished.
"Congratulations?" Lorelei offered as she took her seat.
"Okay, we have to pick out names first, then a wedding date." Taylor demanded.
"This is a messed up version of My Big Fat Greek Wedding," Lorelei whispered to Rory.
"Taylor, what are you doing?" Luke screamed.
"Well, you two are the town couple."
"What?"
"You two knew that we have ultimate control over all you decisions on these two things," Taylor said like they should of known.
"Taylor, you passed the line, you are not going to be living when I am through with you," Luke got up and started storming towards Taylor. Taylor ran away from Luke.
"Luke, okay, congratulations, we won't plan anything you don't want us to plan," Taylor said when Luke caught up to him.
"This summer is going to be very eventful," Jess said sarcastically to Rory.
"Oh, big fun, planning a wedding!" Rory said with excitement.
"Okay, never mind," Jess whispered.
A/N: I'm sorry it took me so long to update, a lot is going on this week, and next week, and the week after that. I probably will update one chapter over that time. I'm going to have the story pick up at fall now, since it will be kind of dull over the summer. I will have a recap chapter though, or would you rather have it left to your imagination? You decide.
