Chapter 5: I'll get you one
The next morning in Luke's apartment…
Rory slowly woke up when the morning's first rays of light entered her eyes, She felt content and safe in Jess' arms. She turned her head to face Jess's still slumbering body and smiled to herself. She knew in her heart that she wanted to wake up like this every morning and that thought made her the happiest person in the world. She leaned up and placed a soft kiss on Jess's lips. At the contact he stirred slightly and pulled her closer so he could fully respond to her kiss.
"Morning baby." Rory said when they pulled apart from there good morning kiss. Jess gave her a loving smile and then moved his head down to give her another kiss.
"I'm going to go get us some breakfast, what would you like?" Jess asked her as he got off the bed.
"Chocolate chip pancakes and lots of coffee!" Rory said excitedly.
"Coming right up." Jess said as he gave her a quick peck on the lips and went out of the apartment and down to the diner to get them some breakfast.
Rory stayed sprawled across the bed looking at her promise ring. She wasn't a girl that wore large fancy jewelry and she didn't expect her boyfriend to shower her in expensive gifts and Jess new that. He got her a simple heart shaped ring with a small diamond in the center. It was perfect. Jess was perfect and Rory was thinking about their future she let her mind wander and she was thinking about having a ring on her other ring finger. She hadn't thought about marriage much before, sure she talked about weddings with Lane when they were little girls but she hadn't thought about that in years. However today she found herself thinking about marrying Jess. I would love to marry Jess; I can't even imagine my life with out him. I don't know how I will survive the time he's gone not talking to him or seeing him in the diner will be the hardest time of my life, but I will be in Europe with mom so that will keep my mind off of him and hopefully he will be back by the time mom and I get back. She slowly slipped the ring off her finger and placed in on her left ring finger.

Jess slowly ascended the stairs with a tray of food in his hands. He brought Rory tons of coffee and some whip cream for her pancakes. He quietly slipped into the room and saw Rory on the bed, she had her back towards the door he could see her looking at her ring. It made him smile to know that she liked the ring so much. He saw her take it off her finger and put it on the other hand, that's when he realized that she had it on her left ring finger. Rory Gilmore was imagining an engagement ring. She wanted to get married to him. I've never thought about marriage before. I would have thought that even the thought of it would send me packing, but it's not I love Rory and I want to marry her someday. Jess smiled as he saw her slip the ring back to her right hand. He walked further into the room.
"Hey Babe, I've got your breakfast." Jess said as he set the tray down on the table.
"It smells great." Rory said as she got up off the bed and joined Jess at the table.
"I bet it tastes great too." Jess placed Rory's plate of food in front of her. "Whip cream?"
Rory smiled and nodded at him. The two teenagers sat and ate their last meal together before Jess would leave for California.

Around 11:30 Luke and Lorelai showed up at the apartment just as Rory and Jess were packing up the last of his things.
"Jess?" Luke yelled.
"In here." Jess replied.
"Lets go or you'll miss your flight."
"I know, I'm just getting my last bag well meet you in the truck."
"Fine hurry up, I'm going to bring this bag downstairs."
"Okay." Jess turned to Rory who hadn't said much in the last half hour they had been together. He crossed the room to where she was picking up the last of his books.
"Hey." Jess said as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Rory gave him a slight smile as she put her arms around Jess's neck and nuzzled her head on his shoulder. He took her left hand from around his neck and placed it against his lips kissing it softly. He pulled away and she looked up into his loving eyes.
"When I get back, I'm going to put a ring on that finger." This brought a tear to Rory's eye. Jess smiled and kissed her. He put everything he had in that kiss, the promise to come back to her, the promise of a future, the promise to love her forever. Jess pulled away and wiped away Rory's tears. He grabbed her hand and entwined their fingers together as they made their way out of the room and down to the awaiting truck that was to take them to the airport.
XxXxXxX
Jess and Rory sat in the backseat just holding each other. The ride was silent, Luke and Lorelai were in the front seat and the only sound in the car was Lorelai as she changed the music. Within no time they were at the airport.
They got out and went to check Jess in. Lorelai said a quick good-bye and made him promise that he would be coming back to Rory or she would track him down and slaughter him. Jess promised he would and Lorelai left his side to go and wait for Luke and her daughter.
It was Luke's turn to say his good bye's next.
"Here." Luke said as he handed Jess an envelope.
"What's this?" Jess asked him.
"It's just something I got for you, open it on the plane or when you get to Jimmy's." Luke said.
"Okay." Jess said a little puzzled but he put the envelope in his pocket.
"Listen Jess, I don't want to have a heart to heart or anything so I'm just going to say this and then go."
"Okay." Jess said with a smirk on his face.
"Do what you have to do and then come home. Rory can't live without you for that long, for some reason she loves you and she needs you here."
"I will Luke. I'll be back before you know it." Jess said with a smirk on his face, he knew that this was his uncle's way of telling him that he would be missed, not just by Rory but also by him as well. Luke nodded and went to go stand with Lorelai at the door.
Jess walked over to Rory who was standing off to the side he pulled her into a tight embrace and she put her head in his neck taking in his scent. This would be the last time they would hold each other for an undeterminable amount of time. He pulled away slightly and kissed her. She responded with as much passion as she could find. Jess deepened the kiss and they stayed that way as long as they could only stopping to breath.
Jess reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He handed them to her and she looked at him puzzled.
"These are the keys to my car. Since I'm leaving it in Stars Hollow I thought you could have it. I took care of the insurance and everything. I know it's not the greatest cat but it works." Jess said smiling at her.
"Thanks Jess." Rory said as she put the keys in her pocket and put her arms around him again.
"I'm gonna miss you so much." Jess said into her hair.
"I miss you already." She replied and Jess could feel the hot tears land on his neck as she started to cry.
"Don't cry baby, I'll be back before you know it." He said to her as he felt his own eyes tearing up.
"I'm still going to miss you and the thought of not being with you makes me sad."
"Well when ever you feel like you need to see me just look at the ring and know that I'm thinking about you as well." Rory gave him a small smile. And he wiped her cheeks free of her falling tears.
"Have Luke tape your graduation for me. I'm sorry I won't be there."
"I already have the video camera charging."
"Good, and I'll send you Jimmy's address when I get there incase there is an emergency here and you need to contact me." Rory nodded and Jess leaned in for one more kiss. The loudspeaker announcing the bearding of Jess's flight interrupted them.
"I love you Rory Gilmore." Jess whispered in her ear.
"I love you too Jess Mariano." Rory replied. Jess leaned into give her one last kiss before he pulled away and picked up his carry-on.
He turned to leave but stopped and leaned in for one more good-bye kiss. Rory pulled away and gave him a light push.
"Get out of here." Rory demanded.
"I thought you didn't want me to leave." Jess replied slightly hurt that she now wanted him gone.
"Well I do want you to leave so you can get back here faster." Rory replied with a smirk. She leaned in and gave him another last kiss. After a second he turned and waved to Luke and Lorelai who where also a little misty-eyed. They waved back. Jess turned to Rory and told her he see her soon. She smiled a shaky smile as she watched him turn in the direction of the plane.

Regina Halliwell - I love the fluff as well, I'll try to make it less sappy. And I was so excited for the new episode, but I was disappointed with the confrontation between Rory and Lorelai I was hoping for so much more than that.
Somebody – I agree that the characters are ooc, but I wrote them that way on purpose and I stated that in my authors note in the first chapter.
