Previously on Let me Fall:

I guess Jess saw me playing with my ring and he took my hand and kissed my knuckles. 'Maybe we should take the bull by the horns and do it before we move?' I looked at Jess and I saw that he was smiling. 'We could, I'd never really thought about it.' Jess smiled and kissed me. 'Well think about it.

That night we drove to Stars hallow. It was family dinner night. April and Anna would be there, with T.J and Liz, and their adopted son Cody. Luke and Mom would be hosting, and grandpa would probably be there. Grandma had begun to accept that Jess and I were together, she was never nice, but she didn't full out tell me that I was making a mistake every single dinner.

Jess drove us and we got their faster than if I had been driving. Know that he knew the route so well; he could speed, but not break the rules of the road. Ever since we got in that accident, Jess took extra care when I was in the car.

'You realize that when we tell them, your grandmother will know.' Jess says and I laugh. He pulls the car into the driveway, and we see that we are the last ones to arrive. We spent most of the day together in bed.

'It doesn't hurt to trust that she won't take over. We'll just say that we want to do this our way.' I say and Jess nods. 'Your right, you ready?' He asks and I shrug. 'Let's go in.' WE got out of the car and walked towards the door.

'Daughter? Is that you?' Mom called as Jess closed the door behind him. 'Yeah.' I yelled and took off my coat and put it on the hook and walked into the kitchen. T.J and Liz were sitting at the kitchen table. Mom was sitting on the counter and Luke was straining something. 'Where are the rest of them?' I asked and she hopped down and came over and hugged me fiercely.

'I've missed you kid.' She says while hugging me. I smiled in her arms and she let go to go say hi to Jess who I had assumed was behind me. Mom and I had this weird hybrid relationship now. It wasn't what it was, too much time and actions had ruined that, but it had evolved into something that was even better.

Now I could do things on my own, I didn't feel like I needed to run every single thing by her, but at the same time, I knew for any reason, I could go to her and ask her to help me or even talk me through anything, and she would be there in an instant. That's just the way we were.

'Why don't you go sit with your grandparents in the living room while we finish things here.' Mom gives me the look and I know why she is sending me in there. Probably Grandma said something meant to annoy Mom or offend Luke, and finally she had enough and sent them in there to wait.

Jess shuffled behind me and I turned around before we got into the hallway and I kissed him. 'Thank you for this.' I whispered and he shrugged. 'Half of them belong to me unfortunately, so we must suffer together.' He smirked and I giggled and pulled him into the living room.

The living room hadn't changed all that much. It was still full of love and it felt comfortable. I discovered that not everyone's houses feels safe and warm and like a favorite pair of jeans. Mom had managed to always make our surroundings like that, even the potting shed.

'Hi Grandma, Grandpa.' I said and both kissed them on the cheek. Grandma scrutinized my outfit like usual and she rolled her eyes when she saw Jess. She had learnt over time that saying things about Jess in front of me never gets her anywhere. 'Mrs Gilmore, Richard, it's good to see you'; Jess murmurs and we both side on the love seat near the fireplace.

I notice Grandma give Grandpa a look at hearing that Jess called him Richard, but after all those lunches and dinners we had gone to with him, it was natural. 'So Rory, I heard from your mother that you had a major job interview today, how did that go?' Grandpa asks and I smile.

'It went well Grandpa, they offered me a job.' Grandma looks surprised. 'You are certainly working fast.' She says and I notice she looks tense. 'Well it isn't fair to expect Jess to do all of the providing. And I want to write.' I said and Grandma muttered something under her breath. I chose to ignore it.

April came in and hugged Jess and I. April and Anna had pretty much become part of the family. They were at a lot of these family dinners, and had been at my graduation.

'Hey April, how's school?' Jess asked. April smiled and sat between Jess and I. 'Oh it's great, we are exploring the differences between R.N.A and D.N.A.' She began to go on about that, and I just watched Jess react with her.

'So Jess, have you decided to go to college yet?' Grandma asks and he sighs. 'No, I am perfectly content on being uneducated.' He says and Grandma just stews in his reaction and finally Luke comes out and tells us that dinner is ready.

Sookie waves to us as we go and sit down at the dinner table. Martha and Davey were in my old room playing, while Liz stumbled around. She was unexpectedly pregnant, which according to T.J is a miracle and he goes around town pointing to Liz and shouts to everything that she is giving birth to the miracle baby.

'Rory!' I hear and I turn around and Lane is there with Dave and Brian. Zack was still on his self-discovery and he called once every six months to let them know he was still alive. Lane didn't tell anyone, but you could see that she still worried about him. That she still loved him in her way.

I hugged her and Dave and Jess did that guy on the back slap thing they do so well. 'Hey guys, so this is some family dinner.' Dave says and Jess makes probably a not so nice comment under his breath and I poke him in his side and he tries to act like he didn't say anything.

The table took almost all of the room and Mom looked nervous as she sat between Brian and Luke. She kept looking around and finally she got up as Emily sat down. 'I need to go to the bathroom.' She says and rushes out.

Luke doesn't look phased and continues to cut the roast beef. Jess just shrugs and gets up to help him serve out the meat. Lane leans over from her seat three chairs down from me. 'do you know what that's about?' she says and I shrug.

'That girl has no table manners.' I hear grandma say to Sookie, and most of the people turn to glare at her, and she shifts under the extra scrutiny.

Anna comes in and she waves to April and to Luke. 'So sorry that I am late, I had to mail off a shipment of pillows.' She says and sits down in her designated seat. 'no worries Anna, you know we are casual here.' Luke says and Anna smiles at him.

After mom has been missing for five minutes I get up to find her. Luke gives me a smile when he notices where I am going. 'Excuse me.' I say and rush upstairs. Taking two stairs at a time. I hear the water running and I poke my head into Mom's and now Luke's bedroom.

'Mom? You ok?' I call and I hear mom's soft reply from the bathroom. 'No probelmo kid, be out in a sec.' She says but I can tell that something is wrong. 'Mom?' I say and I hear her retch and I grimace. I'm not too good with the dealing with other people's puke. I had spent way too much time with the LBD and Finn to be a virgin of puke.

I walk into the bathroom, and she is clutching the toilet with one hand and the other holding her hair back. I start to rub her back and hold onto her hair for her so she can go through another round. Finally after a couple dry heaves she sits back down on the cool tiles.

'Mom, are you sick?' she shakes her head immediately. 'I thought I was, but I got the answer today. I am way too old for this.' She moans and puts a cold wet washcloth on her forehead. 'What are you too old for? You're a Gilmore!' I cry and she groans.

'When Liz told us she was pregnant, I actually chuckled. I figured that maybe I was destined to have the one perfect kid, but it seems you have some competition sweets.' She says and she groans.

'Ok, I am still confused here.' I say and she smirks. 'Kid, you're a graduate of Yale, figure it out. Your old mommy is preggers!' she then cringes. 'I hate that word!'

I just sit there with my mouth open. My mom pregnant? Sure she's only 40, and look at all the women who know who start to have children older than mom. 'What?' I finally say and she smiles. 'It seems that the Danes men are more potent than we originally thought.' She says and I cringe at that thought.

'When did you find out Mom?' I asked and she shrugged. 'Unofficially, I've suspected it for almost a month, but officially I got the word from the good doctor today.' Mom says and I look at her and she isn't anxious anymore, she looks…calm.

'Does Luke know?' Mom shakes her head no. 'He knows something is up, but he probably thinks this is part of woman trouble.' Mom says and she laughs. 'Poor Luke.' I say and begin to laugh with her.

'Kind of unfair for us to leave them to the wolves.' Mom says and I shrug. 'There men, they can deal, Grandma and Grandpa aren't' so bad.' Mom giggles. 'I was actually talking about the rest of them as the wolves.' I laughed at that and I got up and helped mom up too.

As we walked back to the dinner table together I began to realize, that it wouldn't be mom and I ever again. 'So this is it for the Gilmore Girls?' I asked as we entered the room. Mom stopped me. 'No, this is just the beginning kiddo.'

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Dinner was under way and there were already a lot of tense moments. Grandma was in a snit tonight apparently, and she kept on insulting most of the people at the table. She even said a nasty comment to Lane, which made Dave bristle and call her a stuffy old bag under his breath, which made me spit out my food from laughing.

Grandpa was talking about this new theory in genetics with April, and Liz and Anna were comparing notes on design and how to sell it. Mom was mysteriously silent through the whole evening, and I could understand it. She freaked out if she had a new freckle, finding out your pregnant, was a huge thing.

Finally everyone was done, and we were having coffee and laughing and talking. Jess stands up and he clears his throat. 'I know that most of you are getting ready to leave, so Rory and I have an announcement to make.' I stood up and walked next to Jess, and I grabbed his hand. He looked at me to continue. 'Since I got this new job, we would have to move to New York.' One simple pause and everyone was in an uproar. Lane and Dave and Brian were congratulating me, Grandma was yelling about a proper establishment, and Grandpa and Luke were congratulating me. Sookie and Jackson were arguing with T.J and Liz on which area of New York was the best, and I wanted to sit down from the sheer shock of everyone's uproar.

Jess did the two-hand whistle, which caused all the commotion to stop. 'Ok, obviously you are concerned but that wasn't what we were announcing. Rory and I decided to get married before we move, so we're getting married!' He yelled and then the commotion that he stopped worsened.

He and I both sat down and watched the arguments and yelling and laughing, and I started to laugh. 'I feel like we should be eating popcorn.' I said in his ear and he got up. 'No Jess, it was a joke.' I pulled him back down and we watched. The only person who wasn't in the orgy of arguments was Mom.

She looked at Luke and watched him argue, and she had this small personal smile, and whatever was going on in my mother's head, it was something good.

Finally I got tired of this and I stood up. Of course I couldn't do the whistle thing that only special people could do so I yelled. 'Hey shut up everyone and sit down!' I yelled which made people stop. 'Ok, I understand that this is exciting, but no more yelling.'

I sat back down and so did most of the people in the room. 'Are you sure this is what you want?' Mom says and I nod. 'It seems like the best time. They gave me 10 weeks to get settled, so you think you can work some magic?'

Mom smiled. 'Sure kid.' Grandma just glared at Mom. 'Grandma you ok?' I asked and she turned her glare onto me. 'You are not marrying him!' She says and I sigh. 'Ok Grandma, thanks for the input, anyone else have questions, comments?'

April chuckled at that and Luke just shrugged. 'Might as well marry him, he is already ruined for anyone else.' Mom just gave Luke the Gilmore look, and he rubbed the back of his neck and whispered under his breath 'Aw geez.'

April comes up to both of us and she hugs both of us. 'Congrats, can I come visit you sometime?' Jess smiles at her and shrugs. 'Sure, if it's ok with them.'

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Everything was shifted into the living room. Rory and I sat on the loveseat and we were bombarded by questions and comments from our various family members. Lane had tried to convince me that the theme should be glam rock. Liz and T.J were talking about if we waited for her to give birth, the miracle baby could be apart of it, and Lorelai was just quiet.

There had been this moment, when Rory had gone upstairs to get her mother before we started to eat. When they came down, Rory had that worried look she wore for days before a final was coming. 'You ok?' I asked her and smiled. 'I'm fine.' She says and she goes over to talk to her mother.

Lorelai looked worried the whole time during dinner. Usually she loves getting into the arguments that always seem to happen during these family dinners. She would goad her mother endlessly, and she would tease and flirt with Luke, even though they had been married for almost three years.

Finally Luke came up to Lorelai and kissed her temple and she smiled. 'Uh Luke there's something you should know.' I heard Lorelai say and I watch as she leads him out of the room.

Jess and I put on our coats and are ready to head out when I see Grandma sitting outside on the porch bench and Jess just winks at me and I know that he is letting me talk to her in private and i sit down next to her.

'Grandma, what's wrong?' She looks at me and I see that she has been crying. 'Oh Rory, it's nothing.' She gets up and I look around and I don't see Grandpa's car. 'No Grandma what's wrong? You can tell me.'

She sighs and wipes the residual tears for her eyes. 'I had a fight with Richard, he is just so damn stubborn.' She sniffs and I put my arm around her and rub her back, like Mom did when I was little.

'Do you want to tell me about it?' I ask and she sniffles. 'Immediately after we closed the door, Richard started yelling that I was being horrible, and that if I wasn't careful, I would lose you too.' I roll my eyes. 'Grandma, I would never meant to hurt you, but I gotta say, Grandpa hit it on the nose.'

She gasps and I put my hand on her shoulder. 'I love you Grandma, but man do you burn bridges. You can't expect to be rude and awful to us, and expect us to come to you with our arms wide open. You need to apologize to Jess, and Lane and everyone else you insulted tonight. And don't' worry about Grandpa, he loves you.' Before Grandma could say anything else, I kissed her on her cheek and ran to the car, and got in.

'Is she ok?' Jess asks and I smile at him. He had been treated horribly, but my grandmother, and yet he is still kind and wonderful. 'I think she will be.'
