Hey guys. As you know the holiday season is upon us which means Christmas parties with family members we don't know, lots of holiday nog (the fun flask kind) and of course, no school. Here's the thing; my birthday was last Friday and I got engaged. So, this will more than likely be my last update for a little bit. At least as long as break is here for because I do my writing in class. So thanks for listening. Enjoy this short chapter.

Luke's POV- (dum dum dum)

"Jess!" I yelled. He was walking away from the Inn.

"Yeah. Yeah." He continued walking.

"You can't just keep coming back here and screwing stuff up. All you're doing is hurting her. Don't you love her?"

He stopped but didn't turn around. "I'll love her til the day I die."

I sighed, knowing that was the answer I was gonna get. "Then leave her alone, Jess. Let her be happy for once. You keep messing her relationships up. She even gave you a chance and you left her."

"I'm so tired of hearing that."

"Didn't you run away Jess?"

"You kicked me out. What was I supposed to do!" he yelled.

"You know Rory. None of that would have mattered."

"Whatever. I'm leaving."

"Seems like a pattern. Don't come back here."

"You're taking her side." He accused.

"Why wouldn't I? She's my daughter and she did nothing wrong. She's just made some bad choices. She shouldn't have given you another shot. But I'm serious Jess. Don't come back here."

"You don't have to worry about that. I'd never come back to this half a block freak show again. Tell Liz I went to Shawn's."

"Tell her yourself. I'm not your messenger." I turned away from Jess and walked back to the Inn.

Lorelai's POV-

"Hey! Where'd you go?" His face was all red and I could tell he was just was Jess.

"I never know what to do." He sat down in a chair next to me. Everyone had started to leave after the scene with Rory and Jess.

"With Jess? Hun, there's nothing you can do. Hopefully, he'll work it out. But if he doesn't you're not the one to blame." I put my arm around his neck.

"I told him not to come back here. I never want to see him again." He put his head in his hands.

"You should not have done that. He's family Luke, whether you like it or not."

"No. You're family. Rory's family. Logan will eventually be family. Jess is blood related. That's it. I thought I could help him."

"You did everything you could possibly do. Stop feeling bad for it."

"I'll be okay. So, I never did get to give you your ring." He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. He handed it to me and I opened it. It was a diamond with two smaller gems on each side. One was Rory's birthstone and one was his. "We'll always surround you, Lorelai. No matter where you are. We love you."

I was definitely crying now. "It's so beautiful. It means so much that you put thought into this. You could have just bought the biggest most expensive ring and that would have been it. But this is unbelievably better." I kissed him.

"I'm glad you like it. So, do you wanna clean up now or wait?"

"Neither, I hired people to do that. Let's just go home." He pulled me up. "I'm so tired. Carry me."

"Uh, I don't think so, sorry." We walked over to Rory and Logan. They were talking to Lane and helping her pack up her stereo equipment.

"Hey you guys ready to leave? It's getting late." I asked.

"Yeah. We were gonna give Lane a ride home. We'll meet you at the house."

"Okay. Thanks Lane. You doing this was a huge help." I handed her an envelope with $50 in it.

"Music is my life. I'd do it for free. But the cash is nice. Thanks. Congrats, guys."

"Thanks, sweetie. See you guys at home." We left the Inn, after grabbing our coats. Luke was silent.

"It was a nice party. Lots of people and the karaoke was a big hit." Luke was still silent. " Okay. Am I talking to myself here? We're not even married yet!" I got into the Jeep.

"I was just thinking about something. Sorry."

"It's okay. Whatcha thinking about?"

"Jess. He can never grow up. Be a man. He wants all the perks and none of the responsibility. He's just like his mom."

"Well then maybe he'll work his life out like Liz did. She's doing okay."

"I guess. I just don't know what to do anymore."

"Nothing. You don't have to do anything. Jess is not your problem anymore."

"Let's just go home." He said, obviously not wanting to discuss this.

"Okay." I started the Jeep and we went home. To our home.

Well, I guess that's it for a while. Sorry its short but the good thing is is that it's all L/L so that should make up for the lack of length. Hope you enjoy the chapter. Review please. Thanks.
