Paris left a day early. She decided to fly, and give Jess and Rory some alone time. She had left a little before the party ended so that she could catch her plane and Rory gave her a ride, never getting to give Jess his little "dance" until she returned. "Hey," she said walking into the apartment above the diner. The diner was closed, but Jess had left the door unlocked for Rory.

"Hi," Jess said, getting off of of the bed. "How's Paris?"

"She was excited to get back." She kissed his lips. "I was just excited to come back to see you."

"Good. I was excited to see you too. Come on," he led her to the couch and turned on the TV. "I'm pretty beat though. I'm not gonna lie. The party got pretty wild at the end, I decided to leave when I saw Dean. I hate him."

"I know, Jess. I was there practically every time you guys were together. He hates you, too, if it's any consolation." Rory smiled at him, a sweet smile.

"Well, I never thought that I hated him while he was secretly gay for me. He's a jealous asshole, nothing more," Jess told her. She moved closer to him on the couch and laid her head on his chest. "Hey, are you OK?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired too. We have to pack though, because we should leave early tomorrow. I need to work and I'm guessing you do too."

"Actually, yeah I do. I don't want to work, it's too early. I don't know if we'll be back in time, so I'll have to show up late and then walk around the city for three hours. Not my idea of a good time, not to mention the fact that I won't be able to see you after you drop me off. I've been with you everyday since we've been together," Jess said, but when he looked down at Rory for a response, she was asleep. He kissed her forehead and turned off the TV, thankful that she hadn't heard the cheesy side of him. He got off of the couch, trying not to wake Rory, and moved to his duffel bag. He opened it and then opened of the drawers holding his clothes and started packing.

When he was finished he left for Lorelai's and Luke's. It was past midnight, but Lane, Zach, and the rest of the town were still scattered around, enjoying the party. When Jess got to the house he found the hidden key and unlocked the door. He wasn't expecting to see anybody, so when he saw Luke he almost yelled, but then realized who it was and that they were asleep. Jess walked into Rory's room and found the bags that she had brought and started packing her stuff when he heard someone in the kitchen. He figured it was either Luke or Lorelai, but when he opened the bedroom door and saw Rory he said, "Uh, hi."

"Holy crap, Jess. You scared me," Rory jumped at the sound of his voice. "I woke up and you were gone. What the hell are you doing?"

"I came to pack so that you wouldn't have to worry about it. Did you know that I was here, or did you just come so you could get to bed?"

"Honestly, I came back for my bed. I figured that you'd be back eventually, so I left you a note," she said as she walked into her bedroom with him. "But it was very nice of you to come and pack for me. I appreciate it greatly." She kissed him long on the lips until they were laying on her bed.

"We seem to be ending up like this quite a bit lately," Jess teased. "I'm not complaining, but come on, Gilmore, have some self control."

Rory didn't answer, she just shook her head, with a smile, and pushed her lips to his and he kissed back, now his hands in her hair. Her hands went from his chest to the hem of his t-shirt. She felt her way to the back of it and started to pull it off. "Why does packing have this affect on us?" She asked before taking his shirt off completely.

"I just think you like to look at my bare chest. Don't worry, I have that affect on a lot of people," Jess told her and then proceeded on kissing her and he took off her shirt. "I love you," he whispered into her neck.

"I love you too, Jess." Now the kissing was in full swing when they heard a noise in the kitchen.

"Good God. Have we ever been alone when we try to do this?" Jess asked when Rory jumped off him and put her shirt on.

"Honestly, I think it was a one time deal," she handed him his shirt and while he was putting it on, she opened her door a crack to see Lorelai going through the fridge. She closed the door again. "Late night cravings, I guess." Jess shrugged and laid down comfortably on Rory's bed.

"Come on," he told her. He put his hands behind his head and she laid down on her small bed, cuddling close to him. He put one of his arms down and gracefully hugged Rory's shoulders before they both fell asleep.

Lorelai walked into Rory's room and almost fell back when she noticed Jess asleep with her daughter. She looked at the clock and realized that she had to wake them up or they'd both be late for whatever they had to do in New York. Lorelai didn't exactly want to deal with Jess, so she walked back into the living room and dialed Rory's cell phone number.

In the next room, Rory and Jess awoke to the sound of her cell phone ringing loudly. "Ah jeez," Jess said at the shrilling sound.

"Sorry." Rory got off of Jess and her bed and grabbed her phone off of her nightstand. "Hello?" She questioned into the phone.

"Rory, honey, it's me. Yeah, I saw you and your boyfriend so comfortably laying on your bed, so I didn't want to wake him or you by hand."

"Mom! What's up anyways?"

"I was calling to tell you that you should get packing so that you guys can get back to the city before it's too late." Rory looked at the clock and nodded.

"OK, Mom. Thanks, I'll see you in a bit. You know, you could come in and talk to me. You're like five feet away," Rory told her mother over the phone.

"No no. It's fine. Just come out when you guys are done packing so that we can say goodbye. Luke's gone, so you guys should stop over there too," Lorelai told her. "OK, well I'm going to take a shower. I'll see you in a bit." They both hung up their phones and Rory turned around to see Jess back to sleep.

"Jess," She whispered in his ear when she reached her bed. He didn't move, or respond in any way. "Jess, we need to get going. I need to pack and then we need to stop at Luke's to say bye and you can get your suitcase," she said in a normal tone, starting to pack.

"I don't want to get up. It's too damn early," he whined into her pillow.

"I don't want to leave, but I have to. Just like you have to get up, so get up." She threw a pair of balled up socks at his head and he finally got up.

"Fine, I'm up, but I am far from happy. How much longer 'til we leave?" Jess asked, sitting up on Rory's bed.

"I'm just about finished, thanks to your help last night. Thank you again. Then we just need to go to Luke's and we're done in Stars Hollow for a while. Aren't you happy that you get to go home. Not much longer until we're on the open road," Rory teased as she finished up packing the last of her stuff.

"As happy as I can be. I think that I'm too tired to actually be happy. What time is it anyways?" Jess laid his head on Rory's wall while she came to sit next to him.

"A little after seven in the morning." Rory hugged him tight and he kissed the top of her head.

"Early," he replied, groggily. Rory nodded her head and then got up, her hand extended.

"I concur. Lets go say bye to my mom." Rory walked out of her room, Jess following, carrying her bags. "Mom?" Rory called out when she got to the kitchen.

"Living room," Lorelai yelled from the couch.

"We're leaving now," Rory told her mother as she walked into the living room and Lorelai got off of the couch. They hugged, Jess watching from his position leaning against the wall. "I love you, Mom. I'll see you as soon as possible." Rory kissed her mom's cheek and walked outside.

Jess was about to follow but was stopped by Lorelai's hand in his face. "OK, Jess, Rory seems happy, so I won't get in the way. I swear to everything I believe in that if you hurt her again, you will feel the wrath of Lorelai Gilmore. That is not something that you ever want to deal with. Especially not a pregnant Lorelai Gilmore," Lorelai warned him.

He wasn't sure what to say, so he smirked, not rudely, and nodded. Lorelai accepted this and patted him on the shoulder. "Good," Lorelai said before getting out of Jess' path.

"Bye Lorelai." Jess walked to the car where Rory was now sitting, confused.

"What was that about," Rory asked when Jess slid into the passenger seat.

"Oh, you know, if I hurt you I have to deal with the wrath of a pregnant Lorelai Gilmore. Something, apparently, that I would never want to deal with," Jess explained.

"I wouldn't think so. Hopefully, you have nothing to worry about though," Rory said kissing his cheek, his eyes closed. Keeping his eyes solemnly closed, he smiled and when she pulled away he pulled her back and kissed her hard on the lips. "To Luke's," she exclaimed when she sat normally in her seat, wiping her lips.

"To Luke's," he agreed, still smiling, eyes still closed.
