Chapter 10: "He Really Loves Her"
"Oh my god you're pregnant" Lorelai said as she took a seat one their white sofa that was now covered in boxes.
"Mom I'm n…"
"You're me, how could I let this happen? I should have made you go back to Yale; I should have locked you in your room." Lorelai said now in a panicked state.
"I'm not pregnant Mom!" Rory said finally grabbing Lorelai's attention.
"What, you're not?" Lorelai asked.
"No" Rory replied calmly.
"Ok so reaction B. What in the hell are you thinking Rory? Oh my god I think I'm having a heart attack what does a heart attack feel like?" Lorelai said as she rested her head between her legs.
"Mom you're not having a heart attack stop. I love him, I always have." Rory said as she pushed a box aside to sit next to her mother on the couch.
"But Rory, Jess he's really the one you want? Do you know what this means?" Lorelai said behind a smile.
"Yeah it means I'm marrying Jess, Why are you smiling like that?" Rory asked suspiciously.
"You do realize that you will be married to your cousin right? Oh my god, your babies could have three eyes or a snagle tooth." Lorelai said as Rory got up from the sofa.
Lorelai was right behind her though.
"Mom" Rory wined as Lorelai continued.
"Or they could be mutant creatures and you could start your own family of super heroes. I can sew your costumes, cause we all know that you shouldn't be trusted with a needle." Lorelai said sarcastically.
"There will be no sewing of super hero costumes, and our children will not be mutant creatures." Rory said angrily
"You can't control these kinds of things, but no worries I'll still bring them out and spoil them, at night of course that way people won't notice the green hue of their skin as much. Luke can make them special mutant burgers." Lorelai said
"I give up" Rory said as the front door opened revealing a shocked Luke and an amused Jess.
"Well if it isn't mutant dad now." Lorelai said as she spotted Jess in the doorway.
"Huh?" Both Luke and Jess said in unison at Lorelai's greeting.
"Nothing, Mom's just in the middle of one of her delusional fantasies just give her a minute to float back to reality." Rory said earning a playful glare from Lorelai.
"I smell coffee." Lorelai said as she crossed the room to grab the Luke's diner bag from her fiancé's hand.
"She's back" Rory said as she too crossed the room to stand with her own fiancé.
"So, how did it go?" Jess whispered in Rory's ear as she cuddled up next to him.
"Surprisingly well, how did it go with Luke?" Rory whispered back.
"See that expressionless grin he has on?" Jess whispered.
"Yeah" Rory said.
"He's had that face since I told him, I think he's still waiting for Ashton to jump out and tell him he's been punk'd." Jess said with a smirk.
That made Rory let out an amused giggle, which cause Luke and Lorelai to give the couple a suspicious look.
"So Rory and Jess, Jess and Rory, together, like before, only they're older, and seem taller, and…"
"Luke its ok, just relax" Lorelai said as she touched his arm warmly.
"So you're ok with this, we're ok with this?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, we're ok with this." Lorelai said as she looked at her daughter.
"Ok, I guess we're ok with this." Luke said still seemingly uptight about the whole announcement.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
When Rory awoke the next morning and inhaled sharply. It had been so long since she had woken up to that smell. It smelt like fresh coffee, and lavender, with a hint of daisy, and baby powder. It smelt like her mother. It smelt like home. When she rolled over to indulge in the bed she had missed so much she saw a mass of black hair peaking up from the comforter. She was surprised she hadn't noticed him there before, it being such a small bed.
"Jess you aren't suppose to be in here." Rory said quietly as to not wake Luke or her mother.
"I know but the couch was so cold and Roryless." Jess said as he placed his hand on her cheek.
"Well you better get back out there before mom and Luke wake up." Rory said as she shooed him out of bed.
"JESS!" Luke yelled as Jess looked around the room frantically.
"Shit" Jess said as Rory's bedroom door flew open.
"One condition and you already break it. We ask for one thing SEPARATE rooms, and what do you do? Wait I don't want to know what you do. God why couldn't Lorelai have woken up first? Oh god I just saw a leg." Luke said as he covered his eyes.
Rory giggled. "Its ok Luke I'm fully clothed and I didn't even know he was in here until about two minutes ago."
Luke looked at Jess who simple shrugged his shoulders. "Ok Jess may I see you for a moment please?" Luke asked pointing to the hallway.
Suddenly Jess felt like he was seventeen again being scolded by his uncle look for making out with Rory in his apartment.
Luke slowly closed Rory's door and looked at Jess. "Are you and Rory having sex?"
"What? I can't believe you just asked me that. I'm not seventeen anymore Luke I'm 21 and I'm not answering that." Jess said.
"Oh you will answer that I have a right to know what's going on under my own roof." Luke said pointing a finger at Jess.
"We have not had sex in your house, but if we wanted to I have every right to make love to my fiancé. I know you and Lorelai aren't just catching z's up there." Jess said in a challenging voice.
"What me and Lorelai do or don't do is none of your business." Luke shot back angrily.
"Dido" Jess commented back.
"Fair enough just be careful Jess." Luke said in a fatherly tone.
"What's going on down here?" Lorelai asked as she entered the room.
"Nothing" Both man shouted at the same time.
"Ok…." Lorelai said as she poured herself a cup of coffee and eyed the two men as they awkwardly excused themselves and traveled to opposite ends of the house.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"I distinctly remember asking for Rye, and this is clearly wheat bread."
"Just eat the damn sandwich, for five years you have ordered ham and cheese on wheat." Luke said angrily.
"Yes but today I asked for Rye because I read in a magazine that Rye is better for your skin complexion and Lulu said my skin looked dry the other day while we were having sex."
"Oh geeze, Kurk! I'll make you the new sandwich." Luke said clearly uncomfortable with the turn of the argument.
"You know Luke your skins beginning to look a bit rough perhaps…"
"Shut up Kurk or I'll make you eat the original sandwich." Luke said as he walked away from the table.
"I know Lorelai would appreciate a soft face!" Kurk yelled across the diner in Luke's direction.
"You know I didn't want to bring it up…by since Kurk did I have noticed a less then acceptable skin complexion..."
"Oh how love just radiates out of you this morning." Luke said as he leaned over the counter to kiss Lorelai on the mouth.
"Ah yes, it comes and goes." Lorelai said getting up from her stool and grabbing her purse.
"Where are you off to?" Luke asked.
"Rory and I decided to rob a bank and flee to Mexico where we will then become drug lords, and all the while you will be pining away for our return, which of course will never happen because we will have married two of the original members of Menudo." Lorelai said as she took a long gulp of her coffee.
"Don't try buying me dress pants again." Luke said
"You need another pair." Lorelai said.
"No I don't when do I ever go out to a place I will need another pair of dress pants for?" Luke asked.
"I'm not making any promises." Lorelai said opened the door to the diner.
"I'll return them!" Luke yelled back but Lorelai pretended she was out of ear shot.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Rory there is no way Jess will wear that hideous piece of cloth they call a shirt." Lorelai said.
"You think?" Rory asked still eying the shirt.
"Babe, even Richard Simons would feel too feminine in that shirt!" Lorelai replied.
"Then it's perfect!" Rory said as she walked to the register to pay for the hideous shirt.
"I still think mine is better though." Lorelai said with a triumphant smile.
"I have to admit it took talent to find that pink and purple flannel shirt." Rory said.
"You forgot about the matching hat!" Lorelai said obviously proud of her purchase.
"We won't be able to tell who won until tonight at dinner though." Rory said.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Come on Luke! It's not that bad! I spent so much time picking it out!" Lorelai said trying to hold back laugher.
"What would possibly make you think I would wear this hideous clothing?" Luke said.
"You have to or we'll loose." Lorelai slipped hoping Luke hadn't noticed.
"You and Rory competed on who could buy the ugliest outfit and get one of your idiot fiancés to wear it didn't you?" Luke asked knowing full well what Lorelai was up to.
"How dare you make an accusation like that, it hurts Luke." Lorelai said using her best stunned face.
Luke threw the shirt onto Lorelai's bed and put on his previously picked out shirt. Together the couple exited the room.
"Well if it isn't an idiot now" Luke said as he eyed Jess and what he was wearing.
"Shut up, Rory picked it out she was so excited about it I didn't know how to tell her I hated it ok!" Jess said obviously embarrassed by his ensemble.
Rory rounded the corner and eyed a very normal looking Luke. "HA! I win" Rory said as she kissed Jess' cheek. "You can go change now." Rory said to a confused Jess.
"Huh?" Jess asked.
"You have a lot to learn about these two still Jess." Luke said to his nephew.
As Jess and Rory went back to her room to find a more suitable outfit Lorelai leaned over to whisper in Luke's ear.
"He really does love her." Lorelai said as she quickly wiped away the tear that had escaped her left eye.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
