Thank you for all your reviews, seriously you are amazing, I would have never thought I'd get that much.

So, I got asked all over again why Rory cheated on jess. I try to explain.

I wanted to write a realistic story and in real life things like that happen, I don´t like it, since my one big priority in life is being loyal to the ones you love, but as sad as it is, it happens. Rory had had too much to drink (which is not an excuse, of course not. If you were sitting next to me right now you could actually see me glaring ) but some people just do things they shouldn't do while being under the influence of alcohol. I wanted to create a rory that is not flawless and perfect, and since I like jess more I wanted to make rory the one who cheats, well cheated.

Don´t get me wrong, I like rory as well, it´s just that sometimes she bugs me big time with this wanting to be perfect thingy. Anyhow, and since I think that Jess had matured a lot and that he finally figured out what he wanted in life… I made him want Rory, you can´t blame me, and you want them together too. I hate how things went with jess on the show and, please, the dean thing? Makes me wanna throw up endlessly. What were they thinking? (ASP and co that is)

I was actually contemplating not watching the show anymore. But the witty dialogues finally convinced me otherwise. Okay, rant over, it´s dinner time …lol Thanks for staying with me and I f you got any suggestions of where the story should go, please let me know. It gets harder and harder to keep writing this.

Rory's POV:

"Mow mow mow mow " I groaned. Why did Mom convince me to buy that stupid alarm clock? I was lying still, not moving an inch of my body, I was too lazy to reach out and push the smooth button. Tate had slept through the whole night but I was still feeling as if a truck had hit me. Months of not sleeping properly could do that to me. I listened to the sounds around me. I could hear cars, sirens, my neighbour next door was apparently getting ready for the day as well. As I listened to him flushing the toilet, I swear I'm gonna make sure that our next apartment isn't gonna be wall to wall to the neighbour's bathroom. It bothers me to exactly know that guy's digestive habits. Suddenly the alarm clock went off again. As I tried to get my body to move, an arm reached over me all of a sudden grabbed the alarm clock and threw it against the wall. It landed on the floor with a loud thud and was instantly silent. I turned my head and smiled at Jess who was again on the verge to fall asleep again, or so I thought. I took in his messy hair that looked particularly messy this very morning. My eyes travelled down his face, his collarbones, the left one slightly more prominent than the other. (Jess had fractured it when he had tried to learn surfing in California). My gaze started wandering again. I finally rested my eyes on his bare chest, not a hair in sight and I had to smile thinking about how well my head fit onto that chest. Jess grunted which took me by surprise since I had thought that he had gone back to sleep.

" You have no idea how long I have wanted to do that.," his voice heavy with sleep and it might have even sounded a little bit annoyed.

" What do you mean?" I had no idea what he was talking about.

" The stupid alarm clock? God that damn thing was driving me crazy. Promise me that you never, and I mean it, never buy anything that Lorelai suggested again. " I smiled. He was definitely not a morning person.

I snuggled into his warm body and felt sleep coming again. I yawned but knew that I had to get up, it was Friday, not any Friday, it was THE Friday; the Friday jess feared the most. Dinner at my grandparents´.

I nudged Jess in the ribs, trying to get him up.

" Jess, we have to get up, Tate's gonna start crying any minute now, and you have to go to work."

Jess, still with his eyes closed pulled the blanket over both of our heads and snuggled deeply into the pillows taking me down with him.

" I don´t wanna go to work. Not like work. Work sucks. Friday sucks. Wanna stay in bed all day….with you," he added and I had to laugh at his childish behaviour.

" Okay, Jess, but only five more minutes, someone needs to be the mature one in this relationship." he nodded and kissed my forehead.

" Well, I am very delighted to tell you that I never claimed that position. Never!" I swatted his chest with my left hand but he caught my wrist and pulled it down, rolling me over so that I was trapped under him.

" So, what could we do in five minutes? " he smirked as he leaned down as if he was about to kiss me, but instead he bit my nose softly, pulled back and locked his eyes with mine. He lowered his head again, this time claiming my earlobe with his teeth. I chuckled and moved slightly under him.

" jeeeheeesss" I whined, and at this very moment all down- to earth-thoughts were forgotten.

" I am a tease, aren't I?" jess whispered in my ear. He was driving me crazy.

Tate took this as his sign to make his existence known. He started crying with all force, and thought I might have heard my neighbour complaining about it.

Jess groaned and released me from his tight grasp. He rolled over and lay lifelessly on his back for a moment.

" I hate this day already and it hasn't even started yet." He cried while facing the ceiling.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" You ring." lorelai whined as we were standing outside the Gilmore mansion, glaring at jess.

" I will not ring that bell, Lucifer is awaiting us on the other side." jess stated.

It was weird watching Mom and Jess get along so well. Maybe it was the fear they shared.

I had taken Jess hours to get ready; he had complained about having to wear a tie and then had struggled to put it on properly. He had been cursing all the way to Hartford, he really didn´t wanna be here.

I sighed and stepped forward, ringing the doorbell.

" Are you insane?" both of them shouted at me at the same time, glaring at me as if I was the most evil person on the earth.

Mom shook her head, whispering all over again:" don´t be home, don´t be home, please don´t let them be home, please, do…" she was interrupted by the opening door.

" God, where can I find a decent maid nowadays, I swear they have no education at all."

" Rats!" lorelai exclaimed, her head dropping.

" What is it now, Lorelai? You forgot something in the car? Maybe your manners? That's not the right way to greet to mother."

" Hi mom, it is so nice to see you again." lorelai forced a full smile, showing her teeth.

" Have I passed the test now? Can we go in? Tate is getting heavy on my arm, I know I seem to be a very strong woman, but man, what are you feeding him." lorelai ranted, looking at me and Jess.

Grandma stepped aside, letting us in.

" Of course, come in, come in, dinner is almost ready!"

I could hear Mom whispering a " almost? I'm starving" into Jess's ear.

" Grandma, it´s so nice to see you again." I greeted her properly as I hugged her.

" Yes, indeed, it has been ages that we all had dinner together." I couldn't miss the accusing tone in her voice.

Grandma's eyes instantly lit up when she saw Tate. She took him from Mom and Mom dramatically wiped her forehead.

" Hey Tate, so nice to see you again too. You are big." I wrinkled my nose. Tate was not big, he was well fed, as Jess would have put it, hadn't he been hiding behind me. I watched Grandma talking to Tate and I was relieved. She didn´t exactly take the news of my pregnancy very well, especially since Jess was involved.

Suddenly Grandma stood still, and lifted her head the way she would always do when she was disapproving something. I could feel Jess stiffen behind me, he knew what this meant.

" Rory? Where is that boyfriend of yours? He hasn't bailed, has he?" Jess took in a deep breath behind me and stepped forward.

" No, I have not bailed I just wanted to wait for you to finish your greetings with rory and lorelai."

Emily wrinkled her nose.

" Well, we have finished that, hours ago. Has no one told you that it was impolite not to greet the host?" Jess swallowed down his pride and glanced at me then he turned once again to Emily, looking her straight in the eye.

" Mrs. Gilmore thanks for the invite."

" Well, let's have some drinks, shall we? " Emily turned around, ignoring Jess's outstretched hand.

I was furious as I sat down on the sofa, but jess who had been nothing but polite till then just patted my knee and calmed me down silently.

" What would you like to drink? Rory? Lorelai?…..Jess?" Jess, I thought bitterly, she dares to call him jess and he still directs a " Mrs. Gilmore" to her.

" Martini, olive please and keep them coming. "

" A soda for me please, I'm the designated driver." jess told her politely as if he tried to lighten up the mood. Emily just nodded and swallowed down the words that I bet were about to leave her mouth.

" I'll have a white wine." she looked at me curiously.

" Alcohol? But aren't you still breastfeeding him?" I just shook my head, not wanting to be polite to her.

After we received our drinks an uncomfortable silence settled over the place.

I saw Mom wreck her head to come up with something to say.

" Ha!" she exclaimed, apparently succeeding at the task.

" Where's Dad?" she looked around, picking up a pillow as if she wanted to make sure he was not hiding under it.

" Lorelai, what are you doing? And your Dad will be joining us any minute now."

"Hopefully" she added, but I think I was the only one who caught it.

So we were sitting there and were doing the one thing people would do in this very comfortable atmosphere. We all concentrated on Tate who was lying on the carpet, enjoying the attention.

Finally, what seemed to have lasted hours, Grandpa appeared in the room, apologizing for being late.

" I was held up by a client. Apparently he didn´t get the fact that we would not take any responsibility if he came back from Peking having caught the SARS." he stopped when he saw us sitting there in silence. He walked over to Tate and stroked his head slightly, then picked him up and carried him around.

" Well, isn't he a big boy?" he chuckled as he put him back on the ground.

He then proceeded to greet us, first Mom, then Jess and then me. I observed it expectantly, being ready to blow off this whole evening if grandpa would even blink while greeting Jess.

To my surprise he approached him, extended his hand and slapped Jess's back with his free one.

" Oh, how nice of you to join us, Jess. Emily didn´t tell me that." he glared accusingly at her but let it go.

Jess shot me a glance. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

" Dinner is served, Madam.," the maid pronounced and we moved the little feast to the dining room.

While passing my Mom she whispered in my ear.

" He is high. I knew it, I always thought that his cigars looked a bit strange and smelled strange by the way."

We settled down at the table, Jess next to me and my mom in front.

" Ah good, I am starved. Dig in." Grandpa exclaimed and loaded up his plate.

" So, grandpa. How is the business?" I was determined to find out why he was acting so nicely. And I thought that small talk would be a good start.

" Oh, it´s going very well, we took over another company, not a big one, but a company nonetheless." Emily beamed.

" Rumours are that Richard's business is the most successful at the east coast, isn't that great?"

" Sure is." Mom mumbled, her mouth full of food.

" Lorelai, I don´t want to see the contents of your mouth, please swallow first."

Mom rolled her eyes and continued eating.

" The food is great, Mrs. Gilmore." apparently Jess thought that he should do small talk as well.

" Thank you, very nice of you to say that, especially since I see that you haven't even touched yours yet." I looked down at Jess's plate that indeed was still untouched. I smiled at him at stroke his knee under the table, where no one would notice.

" So, Jess, How is your work coming?" jess swallowed his bite and answered.

" It is going really well. I am the main editor, but the boss is gonna resign soon and I think I might have a good chance to take his position, unless they employ someone from outside, Mr. Gilmore."

" Ah, Jess, I am Richard, we are family now, aren't we?" he asked suspiciously, glancing at the ring on my finger.

I choked on my bread and jess patted me on the back. I locked my eyes with Mom who just shrugged her shoulders.

I took Jess's hand in mine and said.

" Grandpa, Grandma, I'm sorry I haven't told you sooner, but Jess and I are getting married. I really wanted to tell you, especially because you are so great with Tate, but I just thought that maybe you would disapprove this marriage and I was scared, but I love Jess, and we are a family, whether you like it or not. I don´t care that Jess's family doesn't have money, all I care about is that he makes me smile and that he gives me the feeling I am the most important person in the world. There is nothing you can do about it." I had to stop my rant because air was becoming a much needed factor.

Silence.

More silence.

" And then Mr. Potato started to insult me and …" Mom began ranting.

" Lorelai, really, you're giving me a headache." Grandma spat.

" Of ´course, you're getting married. This is great. Congratulations!" Grandpa's words startled me.

" I have to be honest, I didn´t approve of this relationship at the beginning, but I finally realized that Jess would be a permanent person in your life and there is no way I would give you an excuse to exclude us from your life. You are my only grandchild and I want the best for you, I have come to the conclusion that if you think Jess is the one, he is. Welcome in the family, Jess." a sob escaped my mouth as I abruptly jumped up and went to hug my grandpa.

I knew that I didn´t really need his approval, but it was important to me nonetheless. I wouldn´t have blown off the weddings of course, but there would be a thing missing on my wedding day if my grandparents wouldn´t attend.

I looked over to my Grandma and all the optimistic thoughts in my head vanished.

She didn´t approve.

She was sitting in her chair stoically, not moving a muscle, not blinking once. I glanced over to Jess and I could see that he was hurting. My grandma hurt Jess.

I let go off my Grandpa and collected myself.

" Grandpa, we really have to go now, it was nice seeing you again. Thank you, I love you."

With that I gave Jess the sign to leave. He got up and collected Tate from the maid. When he returned Mom and I were already in our coats.

" Mr. Gilmore, I mean Richard, thanks for the dinner, Mrs. Gilmore, thanks again for the invite. It was a blast!" He turned on his heels and went after us.

" Hey, rory, go ahead, I forgot something in the dining room." he handed Tate over to Mom and went back in. I had this funny feeling in my stomach and although I didn´t want to, I went after him, hiding behind a plant. I could see his figure entering the living room once again. He stopped in front of Emily and spoke up.

" I don´t really know why I do this and don´t take it the wrong way, I am not begging here. We don´t need your approval, not a tiny bit, but think about it. Do you want to see your Great-grandchild grow up? Do you want to be there when he has his first day at school? Do you want to be mentioned in his graduation speech? Because if you do, you have a damn weird way of showing it. What is it that makes you hate me so much? Is it the stupid car accident when I was 17? Yes, I was 17 and I still feel bad about it. Is it the black eye that I had when I first met you? I didn´t get into a stupid fight.

You know what I don´t need this, and I don´t need you, but I am doing this for rory, because she needs you. I am doing this for her because I love her, I love her more than anything and although I really shouldn't be telling you this I am, and you wanna know why? Because I want Rory to be happy, and for some strange reason I do not get she also needs you to be happy. " I gasped. My eyes teared up and I couldn't make out his figure anymore, I bit my lip really hard to suppress the sobs that were about to be audible.

Finally Grandma looked up at Jess, for the first time in her life she looked him directly into his eyes. I could see Jess shiver.

" I don´t wanna loose her. " her words were only barely audible.

" What?"

" I lost Lorelai, I don´t wanna loose her as well." Jess didn´t give in.

" Well, you are losing her. The way you acted tonight proved it. And it´s not Rory's doing, she wants you in her life, which inevitably became mine as well. Deal with it." he spun around once again and hurried away. I made it barely to the car before him and when he got in and saw my tear strained face he just took me in his arms and tried to comfort me.

This night I never let go off jess, I held him in a tight embrace, not wanting to loose touch of him.

And when I was sure he was asleep I snuggled even further into his body and told him that I loved him all over again.

The next morning I woke up late, it was Saturday and Jess had taken care of Tate.

I decided to enjoy the comfort of the bed and Jess's smell that still lingered on the sheets a little longer when I was interrupted by the doorbell.

I quickly got dressed and went to open the door.

" A letter for miss Gilmore." the UPS-man said.

" That's me."

" Sign here please and have a nice day."

I shut the door and ripped open the envelope.

Dear Rory,

I want you to be happy! It just took me a while to understand that we have different definitions of what makes you happy, but I think we both agree that being loved, no matter what, makes you happy. I am glad you finally found the one person that makes you feel whole. I have found him 45 years ago.

Congratulations on your engagement,

Love, Grandma.

So ? What do you think ? Good? Bad? I had fun writing Emily, she may be OOC, but well,I tried my best. REVIEW please and I will love you forever…lol
