Disclaimer: I think we know I don't own anything.

Note: This is the last actual chapter. Since I had such a good birthday I think I'm gonna write a little epilogue on the year after Lorelai's death. It'll be nice hehe. I'm a little disturbed because I read in People magazine today that Lance Bass from NSYNC is gay. I was like in love with that boy when I liked NSYNC. But then again out of all 5 of them I'd say he was the most likely to be gay. Who knew?

Review responses

shopppingchik1314: The sequel is pretty much 16 years after this story takes place. It'll feature Jess and Rory's two kids Lori and Jake. Chaos will ensue.

Lee: Oh don't cry...the story is ending but the series isn't. This isn't over...not by a longshot! Hopefully you'll like the sequel. I'm working hard on it already. And yes let's be friends!

Kimberly: Haha I just turned 16 too! Yeah the sequel will hold a lot more drama for the Mariano family. It'll be heartfelt with much homage to Lorelai in between. And Milo and Alexis better get back together. I don't know if my heart can take much more of this "Milo isn't coming back to GG" nonsense.

Enjoy!


"They want to have a Lorelai day. Taylor wants it anyway. But you get to call the shots," Luke explained to Rory.

"Why are you telling me this and not Taylor?" she asked.

"He knew I could reason with you."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"When?"

"Day she died."

"We can have a movie night. Like with the movie festival but Lorelai style!"

"Perfect."

"Can you help me choose when the time comes?"

"You know I will."

A moment of silence passed until Rory spoke up again.

"I'm pregnant," she blurted.

Luke didn't look surprised. "I figured. It's a girl…and she's gonna be a Lorelai."

"Wait…Jess didn't tell you did he? You haven't talked to him have you?"

"Um…no. Why?"

"No reason. I see where Jess gets his psychic abilities from."

"He got a lot of things from me apparently. Especially his love for Gilmore Girls."

"I think that's a very good trait to have. Be the Godfather will you."

"Can I whack someone with a cannoli."

"If necessary."

"Then I'd be glad to."

Rory beamed and gave Luke a hug. He smiled and held onto Rory tightly. "Love you Luke," she whispered into his chest. "Love you too," he whispered back in her hair.


Liz had a tendency to ramble when she was nervous. And sad. Jess knew this. His 5 year old little sister Janelle knew this. Which why the two of them didn't snap at Liz while she rambled on and on about how great the service was and how amazing Lorelai was. Jess looked around bored acting like he was listening to his mother. His eyes fell on Janelle who was sitting next to him, just as bored, reading Animal Farm. He found it disturbing that a little 5 year old took great pleasure into reading Orwell. He promised himself he wouldn't let her read 1984 until she was at least 15. That's when he read…the same would go for her.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he saw Rory head over to them. Liz stopped rambling when she saw Rory and greeted her enthusiastically. She gushed over how great Rory's speech was and how touched Lorelai would be. Janelle looked up and smiled brightly at Rory and jumped off the couch forgetting about Orwell and the hierarchy of farm animals. Rory picked her up and spun her around laughing and giggling like the sisters they almost were. Janelle went off talking about the books she'd been reading while Rory listened intensely. Jess felt a tug at his heart watching the two of them. Janelle was an unusually quiet 5 year old but when brought together with Rory she became a typical kid. Rory had a gift with monosyballic people. She found that gift in Jess.

"And now I'm reading Animal Farm and I really like it. Can you buy me 1984 next I see you Rory please please please?" the little girl begged and pleaded.

Rory gave Jess an amused expression and answered Janelle, "Janelle you can't read 1984 you're too young. And I don't think your mother and especially your big brother would be too happy knowing I gave you full access into how cruel the world can be."

Janelle pouted and gave Rory her famous babyface trying to reason with her. Rory just shook her head and stood her ground. "Sorry kid. But if it will make you feel better I'll take you out tomorrow and we can go to the bookstore. Maybe I'll even take you to the library at Yale."

"What's a Yale?" Janelle asked furrowing her eyebrows looking confused. Rory giggled.

"I went to school there and they have the biggest library you'll ever see. I think you'll really like it."

"Really?" Janelle asked with hope in her eyes.

"Really." Rory stated nodding.

Jess decided to end all the talking and blurt out the only good news of the day. He was getting a little tired of everyone talking and he knew he could shut them up.

"Rory's pregnant!" he blurted out.

Rory gave him a deer in headlights look while Liz squealed and squeezed Rory to death. Jess laughed as she started going on about how beautiful the baby was going to be. But the best part was looking at Janelle who was very nonchalant and just gave out a, "Huh."

Rory giggled and got herself out of Liz's clutched. She spotted Christopher and Gigi getting their coats and thought it would be at least nice to say goodbye. She at least owed them that. She excused herself from Liz, Jess, and Janelle and headed over to her father and sister. Jess saw where she was heading and sighed whiled Liz sat down next to him and gushed about the new developments in his life. Jess just sat back and faintly listened to his mother while Janelle got back into Animal Farm.


"Christopher…Gigi…thanks for coming," Rory said to them politely.

Gigi stared at Rory as if she was analyzing her. Rory felt uncomfortable under her gaze and raised an eyebrow at her. Gigi just smirked at her and finally said something.

"You're pregnant. It's going to be a girl. So name her Lorelai." She stepped towards Rory and awkwardly gave her a hug. Rory was too shocked to respond and before she knew it Gigi had said goodbye and skipped out of the inn. Chris and Rory's mouths were hanging open staring off at Gigi. Rory regained her senses a few seconds later and stiffly told Christopher, "I'll let you know when the baby is born." With that she turned and made her way back to where Jess was sitting.

Christopher smiled and made his way out of the inn. When he got outside he breathed in the fresh air and looked at the sky. "Rest in Peace Lorelai," he whispered. He continued his walk to his car where Gigi was waiting for him.


After all the madness Jess and Rory returned to the Gilmore household and got comfortable in their pajamas. They snuggled on the couch watching Casablanca and ate pop tarts…the only food in the house. When the movie ended Jess carried Rory upstairs to Lorelai's bed. They lied down and Rory set the alarm for 7am. Jess watched Rory as she got comfortable and turned to face him. Her blue eyes looked as if they were going to spill. She looked 17 again when he first met her…so innocent. He pulled her to him and kissed her forehead.

"Jess," she whispered, "can we cry now?"

"I insist," he managed to get out.

Sobs racked her body as she poured out her grief while Jess held her as tightly as he could. Her tears soaked his shirt and Jess felt his own cheeks begin to get wet from his tears. Neither of them had cried this much in their entire lives. They let out the hardest day into the night crying for the loss of the greatest woman they'd ever known. When they finally fell asleep they knew a new day would start when the pig squealed.
