Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls I do however own Lizzie not that she really does anything yet. I don't own Lifetime, Willy Wonka, When a Stranger Calls (original or new), Amityville Horror, Almost Famous,or anything related to them.

"You want to talk to the crazy shrink or talk to me" I asked.

"Neither" Jess walked into the kitchen.

"Jess come on"

"Rory I barely knew her I'm not going to dwell on the fact that she's gone"

"At least wallow for one day"

"Fine what ever"

"Great I'll get the snacks you get the movie and refrain from picking Almost Famous"

"I'm not making any promises" he smirked.

--------------------------

"Ok I got cookies, cake, ice cream, massive amounts of candy, chips, and many other things"

"I got When a Stranger Calls and Amityville Horror"

"What's with the old scary movies?"

"Don't know"

"Ok well they're definitely not wallowing movies so we're watching a lifetime movie first and then we'll watch Willy Wonka"

"Why?"

"It's always sad then funny so you get your hidden pain out then laugh a little"

"I have no hidden pain"

"Well maybe I do"

"Really"

"Yes"

"Why did your mother die because if I remember correctly she was in the diner an hour ago begging for coffee" he started "I don't see anything wrong with her is she sick is she hurt"

I smiled.

"You wanted that didn't you" he asked.

"You're so smart that's why I love you but you still managed to fall for my plan"

"Let's just watch the movie"

-------------------------

"Lukey" I squealed.

"Fine you can have coffee but I'm not watching I don't want to see another person I care about die go get your own coffee"

"Luke I'm…"

"Don't"

"Ok hey where's my chocolate chip pancakes"

"I know there's a reason I like you I just don't know what it is" Luke mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Nothing"

"Luke do you want to um have dinner with me sometime"

"Lorelai you have dinner here almost every night"

"No I mean like without everyone else"

"No Lorelai I'm not closing the diner just so you can eat here alone"

"You're not this stupid" I pulled him forward and kissed him fiercely. I heard faint clapping but it didn't really register with me or Luke.

-------------------------------------

"We didn't watch hardly any of the movie" I said.

"You're right" she looked at the TV that was now playing The Nanny instead of the movie we were watching before.

"Not that I'm complaining though" I pulled her closer again.

"Hey none of that mister you're supposed to be grieving"

"Oh joy"

"It's not supposed to be joyous"

"Huh"

"Let's go to Luke's"

-----------------------------

We walked into Luke's and saw the diner shockingly empty. There was laughter and a thump and then someone came walking down the stairs. It was Luke wearing nothing but his boxer.

"Did we interrupt something" Jess asked.

My mom called from the stairs "Whoever it is tell them to go to Weston's"

"Oh gross I'm dating my uncle's girlfriend's daughter" Jess noted.

"You can't get married" I said

"Yea I got Rory first"

"Mom are you wearing…flannel"

"I'm going to get dressed" mom turned.

"Yea me too help yourself to what ever and reopen the diner for me will you" Luke followed my mom upstairs

"My mom slept with Luke" I said slightly disgusted.

"Yea… oh god I just got a mental picture get out get out get out" I kissed him lightly and he seemed to have lost the image then it somehow floated into my head and I pulled away hitting my head.

"It's not fun is it" he said.

-----------------------------

"Is it that weird" I asked.

"To them" Luke shrugged.

"And to you" I asked.

"It's not weird at all"

"I've always thought of you as more than a friend" I sat down on his couch and he gave me a cup of coffee. I smelled it and gave it back to him "It's decaf."

He rolled his eyes and put it back in the kitchen.

"Same here" he said. He sat down next to me and I pulled on the collar of his shirt pulling him close to me and then our lips met.

----------------------------

"So school starts tomorrow" I said

"Yup"

"Are you going?"

"Do you want me to?"

"Is it really up to me" I asked.

"I'm going to school Rory I'm not going to risk having to leave" Jess told me "but it would make everything easier if you tutored me."

"Nope not doing that again you can get a tutor from school" I smiled "preferably one who doesn't like ice cream."

"You have no trust in me do you" Jess asked.

"Of course I do" I smiled facetiously.

-----------------------------------

"Mom come on I'm going to miss the bus" Rory yelled.

I came down the stairs wearing one shoe and still putting on her shirt. We rushed out the door and went to Luke's. Once we got there. Rory looked at her watch and turned around.

"Wait" I heard a voice. I turned around and saw Jess holding a bag and a cup "I noticed you were running late so I bagged your breakfast."

"Thank you I love you bye" Rory kissed him and ran out the door.

"AWWWWWW" I smiled.

"Shut up" Jess walked away.

"So what do I get from you" I asked.

"You get to sit here and not annoy me" Luke said grumpily.

"Fine be that way at least get me a cup of coffee"

"No" he said.

"PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE" I begged.

Jess walked by and poured me a cup of coffee "I had made that especially for Rory so it's really strong"

"You made a pot especially for her" I gasped "Luke why don't you do that for me"

"I want you to live" he defended himself.

"Are you suggesting I want my girlfriend to die" Jess asked in a strong defensive boyfriend way.

"I can't deal with this today" Luke walked upstairs.

"What's with him" I asked.

"He's having a hard time with the funeral arrangements" Jess said.

"Oh can I go up" I asked.

"Don't see why not" he shrugged "just don't wake Lizzie it's the first time she's slept for more than 3 hours since we got back I think it has something to do with her spending a lot of time with Sookie"

"Hey she's a great baby-sitter" I defended my best friend in the whole wide world next to Rory of course.

I got up and walked upstairs. Luke was sitting next to Lizzie's bassinet smiling at the baby that looked oddly like Jess considering they most likely had different fathers.

"Are you ok" I asked.

Luke nodded. I sat next to him on the couch.

"She's beautiful" I smiled.

"I just can't imagine her growing up without a mother" Luke shook his head.

"Then don't" I suggested. Thinking maybe Jess's way of dealing by avoiding everything was best at this stage.

-------------------------

I walked into Luke's and threw my backpack down "coffee lots of it and fast."

Jess put a cup of coffee in front of me and I dank the whole thing quickly.

"6.2 seconds wanna tell me what's wrong" he refilled my cup.

"Paris is kind of making this year a living hell" I sighed.

"Want some sugar" Jess asked.

"Chocolate" I continued on with my explaining of my day "well Miss Castro is treating us all like poor Cubans"

"Nice reference" he noted.

"Thank you "I took a bite of the chocolate pie "mm this is really good Luke did not make this Luke uses skim milk so it's not as creamy Caesar did not make this Caesar makes the thickest nastiest crust in the world who made this"

"I made it now you were talking about Cubans"

"Well anyways Francie is being well Francie and is trying to get me to convince Paris to go easy on us a little bit and I'm so not capable of that I just realized I'm rambling on about trivial nonsense when I should be asking you how you're doing" I said breathlessly.

"I'm fine, continue" he said.

"No I'm done" I finished off my pie "you are a good pie maker person do you know where my mom is"

"Upstairs"

"Oh" I swallowed hard.

"Lizzie is up there too" he said in a comforting way.

"Oh yeah and she's such a great chaperone" I rolled my eyes.

"Hey sarcasm is my thing" he complained.

"I got to go get ready for Friday night dinner" I said "later"

"Later"

---------------------------------

"How did you convince me to come" I asked. Lorelai kissed me.

"That's how" she said.

"Hello kid here" Rory waved her hand.

Lorelai rang the doorbell and a maid opened the door.

"Hi I'm Mr. and Mrs. Satan's daughter here for Friday night dinner" Lorelai smiled.

"Come right in Miss Gilmore" the maid opened the door wider and took our coats. Emily walked in and moved us into the living room for drinks.

"Lorelai Martini" Emily asked.

"Yes please"

"And Rory would you like a soda" Emily asked again.

"Yes please Grandma" Rory beamed.

"Luke what would you like" she asked me.

"Um water would be great"

"Sure"

"Thank you"

She came back with all the drinks and handed them to us.

--------------------------------

I rang the doorbell not really knowing what I was doing or why. The maid came to the door and let me in. I walked into the living room and saw Lorelai and Rory as I had expected but I also saw someone else.

"Christopher" Emily said brightly.

"Emily so nice to see you again" I said.

"Chris" Lorelai said.

"So moved on so soon"

"Me what about you we slept together and then suddenly you're engaged come on Chris"

"She's pregnant Lor"

"I get that Chris really I do but you already have a kid who's already born and raised"

"Yea and I'll always be there for her but Sherri needs me too"

"You made your choice Chris you didn't really expect me to wait around for you did you"

"I love you Lor"

"I think you should leave" Emily said.

I left without another word.

"You really should have a horse and a mask when you do that" I heard Lorelai say.
