At about six o'clock, people started showing up at Lorelai's house for dinner. Jess, Luke, and Lane already knew what the surprise was, so they had gotten there earlier than Rory, Paris, and Babette. When Rory and Paris entered the house, Rory asked, "Mom, what's this big surprise? I'm kind of nervous."

"Do not be nervous, my daughter. It is a good surprise. I promise. Now, please sit next to your cousin slash boyfriend thing, and Paris you can sit here," Lorelai said, gesturing to the seat on the other side of Rory.

"Mom, and everybody else who wants to bring up the fact that we're cousins, please don't. We're only step-cousins and I already thought of that before anything really happened. I'm fine, he's fine. Lets look past it," Rory said as she sat next to Jess. Paris sat next to Rory and Lane sat next to Paris.

"Doll, what's for dinner? I'm starving and Luke always makes the best food," Babette said while she sat down next to Lane.

"Oh, Luke didn't cook. I did. I thought that since it was my idea for dinner, that I'd be the one to cook," Lorelai said proudly.

"Oh, so we're all going to die," Jess mumbled into Rory's ear. Rory pushed Jess' chest softly and kissed his cheek.

"Lucas? Can you please serve the food? You know, since I cooked it," Lorelai asked, already knowing the answer. Luke loved her so much that he would happily do anything for Lorelai.

"Of course Lorelai," he answered. Lorelai sat at an open seat, two seats away from Babette, and left the seat next to Jess open for Luke to sit in. Luke started serving everybody the chicken that Lorelai had cooked and the doorbell rang. "Rory, could you get that? It's probably Sookie."

"OK. I'll be right back." Rory got up to answer the door. When she did. Sookie gave her a huge hug.

"It's so good to see you. So, do we know what this surprise is yet? Lorelai didn't tell me that you were coming. Is that the surprise?" Sookie asked when she walked into the house.

"No, I'm not the surprise. She didn't tell me that you were coming either. I have no idea what the surprise could be. Lets go find out," Rory said. Sookie smiled and followed Rory into the kitchen where everybody was sitting. Sookie sat in between Babette and Lorelai.

"What is Jess doing here?" She whispered into Lorelai's ear when she sat down.

"He's here with Rory, as her boyfriend. That's not the surprise, though," Lorelai explained. Luke had already served everybody the chicken, the salad, and the wine.

"OK, Mom. We're all here and we're all here for a surprise, so could you possibly tell us this secret? I'm dying here," Rory said after she took a bite of her food and a sip of her wine.

"OK, Sweetie. Luke and Lane and apparently Jess already know."

"You know and you didn't tell me?" Rory asked Jess when she turned to look at him. He smirked and shrugged, not sure of what to say.

"Don't blame him, Honey. Luke wasn't supposed to tell him and so he told him not to tell you or he'd kill him," Lorelai explained, everybody could tell by her tone that she was a little mad at Luke.

"Yeah, what she said," Jess told Rory.

"Sorry Jess. OK, Mom, proceed," Rory suggested.

Lorelai smiled and rubbed her stomach and looked at Luke. "Do you want me to tell them?" Luke asked grabbing Lorelai's hand.

"No. You've told too many people as it is," Lorelai told him. She didn't take her hand away, instead she covered his with her other hand. "Here it is. Rory, Babette, Paris, I'm pregnant."

Everybody's faces lit up, even Jess'. Rory practically screamed for joy. "Mom! I'm so happy for you. You too Luke," Rory said. She stood up and walked behind her mother and Luke and hugged them both before sitting back down next to Jess.

"How could you have not told me this Lorelai?" Sookie asked. "This is huge. I am so happy for you!"

"I didn't want to tell anybody else before I had told Rory, but Lane had overheard a conversation with my doctor, so I had to tell her," Lorelai explained. Sookie hugged Lorelai from her seat.

"Oh Dolls. I couldn't be more happy for you. Don't worry, it will get around town. To Luke and Lorelai and Baby Danes," Babette said, holding up her glass of wine to make a toast. Everybody clinked their glasses together and took a drink.

"I'm very happy for the both of you," Paris said after she had taken a drink of her wine.

"Thank you, Paris. And thank you to everybody. We are both very delighted," Lorelai explained.

"Doll, you shouldn't be drinking," Babette pointed out.

"I'm not. I am drinking grape juice. And I've decided to drink decaf coffee for the duration of my pregnancy, one of the hardest things I will ever have to do," Lorelai said, looking at her coffee pot with mourning eyes.

"I'm sure that it will be worth it," Lane told her.

"I know it will be. Look how good the first one came out," Lorelai said, now looking at Rory.

Rory's face turned red and everybody smiled. Jess kissed her on the cheek and everybody went back to the dinner.

After dinner, Lane and Babette went home. Rory, Jess, Sookie, and Paris stayed at Luke and Lorelai's house. "So Mom, have you thought of any names yet?"

"No, I have no idea. I'm thinking that maybe Luke should come up with something because I'll just want to name her Lorelai if it's a girl and I know nothing about boy names," Lorelai explained.

"You want me to name our baby?" Luke asked. "I'm not sure if that's a good idea."

"Well, you guys still have time before the baby comes," Sookie pointed out.

"Yeah, you guys have plenty of time," Jess chimed in. Lorelai nodded and rested her head on Luke's shoulder.

"I think that I'm going to bed," Lorelai announced.

"OK Mom. I'll bring Jess to the apartment and Paris to the inn and I'll be back in a little while," Rory told her.

"Thank you, Honey."

"Bye Sweets," Sookie said as everybody left. Rory and Jess got in the front of the car while Paris sat in the back.

"What a night," Paris said as they sat in the car.

"You're telling me," Rory said as she started the car. "Thanks for coming with us by the way, Paris."

"It's no problem. Do you mind dropping me off first?" Paris asked. "I have to finish a piece and send it in before morning, then I'm done for the week."

"Of course. It's nothing," Rory said. They drove past Luke's and kept driving as Jess sat quietly in the passenger's seat. "Jess, are you alright?"

"Uh yeah. I'm fine. I'll be fine," Jess answered as they pulled up to the Dragonfly. "Bye Paris."

"Bye Jess. Bye Rory. I'll see you and Lane tomorrow for shopping right?"

"Yeah, I'll pick you up and then we can get breakfast at Luke's and we'll all leave," Rory said before Paris got out of the car. "Want to do something before I bring you to Luke's?" She asked Jess.

"We could just hang out there if you want," Jess suggested.

"Ooh, I like that idea," Rory said as she pulled out of the Dragonfly's parking lot.

"You have a dirty mind Miss Gilmore," Jess told her.

"Oh, you know that you were thinking the same thing that I was."

"Yes, I was, but I didn't say anything about it."

"Jess, are you sure that you're OK?"

"Yes. I am fine. I'm just in a weird mood."

"You can be really cryptic sometimes. It makes me nervous," Rory told him as she pulled up in front of Luke's.

"Nervous about what? Rory, you know me. You know that I don't talk as much as others."

"Yeah, I know. Just talk to me when you need someone, OK?"

"Of course," Jess said when they got inside of the diner. "Lets go upstairs." Jess closed and locked the diner's door and walked behind the sheet that hides the stairs.

Rory followed him up the stairs. When they got into the apartment it was spotless. There was no bed just the couch and a cot. "Wow, this place has changed since Luke moved out."

"Yeah you should have seen it before he moved in with your mom."

"When did you see it before he moved in with my mom?"

"Since I couldn't make it for the wedding, I told him that I'd help him move in while you and Lorelai went away for the weekend," Jess explained as he sat down on the couch.

Rory sat down next to him on the couch. "Did you come when we were gone so that you didn't have to see me?"

"Yeah. I didn't want to screw things up for Luke so it was better that I did it then. It was nothing personal."

"Well, thats good. I'm so happy for them. I don't believe that they're having a baby."

"Yeah, I know. It's going to be interesting to see Luke with kids. I never thought that he would get married." Jess pulled Rory onto his lap. "I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have had such a crappy attitude."

"It's OK. A lot happened today. I understand. Just talk to me, K?"

"I already said that I would. And I will if ever need to."

"Good." Rory got comfortable on Jess' lap before she kissed him. "Hi."

"Hello." He kissed her lips hard and then he laid her down on the couch. They kept kissing until Jess' cell phone rang in his pocket. "Sorry," he said as he sat up. He pulled his phone out of his pocket. "Hey."

Rory sat up too. "Who is it?" She asked.

"Luke," Jess answered. "Yeah, she's here. Why?" Jess said into the phone.

"Lorelai wants her to come home. She needs to talk to her," Luke said to Jess.

"OK. I thought Lorelai was asleep."

"She was and then she woke up after, like, ten minutes and wanted to talk to Rory," Luke said. "Can you have her come home?"

"Sure," Jess said and then hung up the phone. "Your mom wants you home. I don't really know why, she just wants to talk to you."

"She wants to talk to me now? Man way to kill the mood," Rory said jokingly. Jess looked upset but kissed her on the lips romantically. "I'd stay, but it might be important."

"I know. I'll see you tomorrow for breakfast right?"

"Yep. I love you Jess." Rory laid Jess down on the couch and kissed him very passionately on the lips.

"I love you too, Rory. I'll see you tomorrow." Rory got off of Jess and walked out of the apartment with disappointment in her eyes. "Bye."
