No, don´t own them.

CoffeeJunkie06, music4mysoul: You guys are amazing. You practically reviewed every single chapter.

GilmoreGirls101: you don´t sound like a perv, that's what I was going for… lol

I wanted to update sooner, but apparently ff . net started again with this whole not liking me thing. It´s getting redundant, man!

Enjoy:

Rory's POV:

I was lying in my old single bed in Stars Hollow, Jess snuggling into me, mumbling incoherently in his sleep. I shifted, not getting comfortable, due to the fact that I was practically as huge as a monster truck. When I was lying on my back, my back hurt, when I was lying on my side, my side hurt, and well, the stomach was so not an option. I felt Jess stir next to me.

„ Rory?" he said, his voice heavy with sleep, opening his eyes trying to adjust to the darkness.

„ I can´t seem to get comfortable" I pouted like a five year old.

„ I told you, we should have taken a room in the Inn, the bed is just too small for the two of us."

I gasped.

„ Blasphemy !when I'm in Stars Hollow, I sleep in my bed. Period" I was suddenly wide awake.

„ Rory, you're moving around so much, I feel like being on a cruise during a storm."

„ yeah, well. Just imagine you swallowed a big, fat, orange basketball, then.." he cut me off.

„ orange?" I heard him chuckle slightly.

„ so not the point, Jess! God, I hate this."

„ I still don´t get the orange part." I knew he was teasing me.

„ Jess, basketballs are orange!" he plopped on his side facing me through the dark room.

„meaning?" I could see his smile getting wider.

„ man, there should be some sort of law against mocking pregnant women." I sighed, shifting in my position again. He opened his arms, inviting me in.

„ come here" he said while patting on the very spot next to him.

I sighed dramatically, glaring at him.

„ you suck." great argument here, Gilmore. But nonetheless I obliged and snuggled into him. I bet he was smirking.

„ I can always count on you to come up with a witty remark." I smiled at this.

„ shut up and just hold me." I whispered and allowed myself, finally comfortable, to drift off to sleep.

I was woken up by hushed voices coming from outside the bedroom door.

„ should we go in ?" that was definitely my mom's voice.

„ are you crazy? What if they're not decent?" I heard Luke's horrified voice and had to suppress a giggle.

I could practically see my mom rolling her eyes.

„ Lukey, it´s rory we're talking about here. She's not having sex with jess in her old bedroom."

„ God, Lorelai. Don´t ever mention Rory and having sex in one sentence. Even worse, we're talking about my nephew here as well."

Silence.

„man!" Luke exclaimed. I thought I could hear him adjusting his cap.

„ bad mental image?" my mom asked , chuckling.

Apparently Luke must have nodded.

„ yeah, me too. But I know what is helping getting rid of the mental image."

„ let me guess! Coffee?" Luke sighed.

„ Ahh, my saviour!" Lorelai cried out. „ but I will make it up to you."

Suddenly Jess stirred next to me, lifting himself in a sitting position.

„ Jeez. Shut up !" he was covering his eyes with one hand, shaking his head.

„ bad mental image?" I asked, faking my mom's voice.

„ God, yes!" he shivered. „ make it go away!"

„ you're such a baby, Jess. What did you think? They're not having sex? I mean, my mom is a young fiery woman and ."

„ stop right there!" Jess took his hand from his eyes and glared at me.

„ why did you do that? I'm gonna be having nightmares about this." when I just giggled he continued.

„ that's it. I'm getting up." he pretended to be angry and got up, grapping a pair of pants and a t-shirt and got dressed.

I suddenly yelled out.

„ hey mom, luke ? It´s awfully quiet out there, you can come in though, I promise, nothing inappropriate for your teenage eyes." the door opened and a flushed luke popped his head in as if to make sure, I was telling the truth.

„ we didn´t want to wake you up, sorry." Mom interrupted him and sat next to me on the bed.

„ oh, I wanted to. Nice pj´s by the way. I like the ducks." I looked down on me and had to smile.

„ so anyways. I wanted to head over to the diner, you wanna join me?" I pointed at Luke.

„ but he's here." I said somewhat dumbly. Mom looked at me.

„ so?"

„ whatever. Just let me get dressed and I'm in."

Mom looked at Jess, tilting her head to one side, asking him silently if he was coming as well.

„ no, I can´t. I have some thing's to take care of. Stuff for work." he added.

Mom laughed.

„ and here I thought you would go all Mafiosi on me, my mistake." her eyes started twinkling.

„mom, go, let me get dressed." she pouted and pointed an accusing finger at Jess.

„ and he's allowed to watch? Dirty." I rolled my eyes.

„ bye, mom, meet me in the living room in 20."

„ why does it take you 20 minutes to get ready? Ah, you know what ? I don´t wanna know."

„ hey" jess suddenly exclaimed. „ I'm offended."

„oh boy" I cried and covered my head with the blanket, hearing mom's mumbled „dirty" once again.

When I was walking to the diner, having my arm linked with my mom´s, a content sigh escaped my lips. Mom looked strangely at me.

„what?" I asked.

„ you seem happy, baby." she said, a full smile on her face now. I looked around the town, nothing had changed and I couldn't get the thought out of my head what it would be like to have a kid running around here. I sighed again.

„ I look happy because I am. I really am, mom." she wrapped an arm around me and pressed a kiss on my forehead, silently letting me know that she was happy for me as well.

When we finally reached the diner, the whole town seemed to there. News travelled fast over here and the return of Stars Hollow's princess was enough for everyone to have breakfast in the diner.

„ oh, my dear, well, well, well, you're huge." I wrinkled my nose. I so didn´t need to hear that.

„ Air, Patty!" I said when she wouldn´t let go off me. She offered me a weak smile.

„ oh, hon., how far along are you?" Babette got right to the point.

„ seventh month, Babette."

Kirk chimed in.

„ my mother always used to tell me that pregnancy was count in weeks, not months. So you're about 28 weeks along?" he asked with pride in his voice.

„yeah, somewhere around that."

„ can I film the birth ?." god, this town definitely was weird.

„ no, Kirk, you can´t. actually I would rather have the kid on my way to the hospital in the car than having you filming the whole thing."

Kirk, oblivious to the stares he received from the others, continued.

„ you may be right, I think I would faint anyhow." he admitted kind of embarrassed.

We spent the morning in Luke's , getting an update on every tiny little piece of gossip around the town. Apparently Rev. Skinner had a thing for Miss Patty. Yeah, right.

When I was finally too exhausted from all the news, I made my way back to my childhood home, hoping that Jess would be there. When I got home, Jess was really there, greeting me with a kiss.

I yawned, suddenly extremely tired.

„ I'm tired. I'm gonna take a nap. You coming?" I asked.

„ nah, I still have an article to write, but you rest, you didn´t get much sleep last night." he didn´t smile, but took my hand and led me to the bedroom.

„ come on, I'll tuck you in."

I suddenly was so sleepy, so tired, exhausted.

I got in the bed and as jess pressed a kiss on my forehead I could hear myself mumble:

„ Marry me?"

Cliffhanger, I know. So what do you think? bad? good? i had fun writing this chapter. what do youthink about the proposal?
