Chapter 5 : Do I get a cookie?

After school Jess dropped Rory off at the shop so she could pick up her car.

"I'm here to pick up my car" Rory stated

"Name?" the mechanic asked

"Rory Gilmore"

"Go outside then take a left and it should be right there"

"thanks" Rory said then went outside to get her car and go home.

When she arrived at her apartment building, she decided to take the stairs . ¾ of the way up she slipped on a wet spot and fell down the stairs. She became unconscious and the apartment manager witnessed the accident and ran to her side. He tapped her cheeks lightly.

"miss, miss are you awake?" he asked. There was no movement so he went to the front desk and called the ambulance. Meanwhile a girl about Rory's age walked over and noticed Rory on the ground looking lifeless. She bent down and tried to wake her up, but she made no movement.

"shoot I have to get Jess" the girl said to herself then ran up the stairs to Jess's apartment. She knocked on the door constantly.

"Jess!" she yelled. He opened the door

"What do you want Kelly?"

"Some girl is unconscious downstairs, I need your help" Kelly stated before proceeding back downstairs. Jess followed her. As they approached the girl Jess's face turned into fear. He saw that it was Rory and ran to her side.

"Rory, Rory, wake up for me please" he said propping her head up on his lap. The apartment manager came back.

"Ambulance should be here in 5 minutes" the manager said

"Thanks Joey….wait Joey can you get me a cold wet cloth?" Jess asked. Joey nodded and got the cloth.

"Thanks" Jess said… "Rory please wake up" Jess whispered.


The ambulance came and took Rory away. Jess followed behind in his car. The hospital called Lorelai and she nearly had a heart attack. Jess waited in the waiting room until a doctor came out.

"Mr. Mariano?" the doctor asked. Jess stood up.

"How is she?" Jess asked worried

"she is fine, but unfortunaly she lost the baby, she's a little weak but you can see her"

"Does she know about the baby?" Jess asked. The doctor nodded. Jess went into the room and saw that Rory was asleep so he sat down and she turned to look at him..

"Hey" she said. He jumped a little bit. "Didn't mean to scare you" she laughed a little bit

"you didn't scare me" he lied

"uhu" she said in disbelief.

"So how are you feeling?" he asked

"Better, that fall hurt" she said rubbing her head

"Sorry about the ummm baby"

"It's ok I guess it wasn't my time to have the baby after all"

"I guess not"

"but I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders…does that make me a bad person?" she asked

"No" he said simply. There was a silence until Luke and Lorelai came barging in.

"Rory baby are you ok" Lorelai cried

"Yea mom I'm completely fine, but I lost the baby" Rory said

"Omg how are you feeling?"

"Better, hey luke"

"Hey, geez you really know how to scare a person" Luke said worried.

"Sorry didn't meant to scare you" Rory said apologetically. Luke looked over at the boy leaning against the wall.

"Hey there smartass" Luke said to Jess. Lorelai hit Luke's arm

"LUKE!" Lorelai almost yelled

"Hey there uncle Luke" Jess said with a smirk.

Rory and Lorelai looked at the two men dumb foundly.

"Jess is my nephew, Liz's kid" Luke informed them. Lorelai's expression went away but Rory's still stuck.

"You have a sister and a nephew! How come I didn't know this?" Rory asked

"I knew he had a sister but I never knew he had a nephew" Lor said

"You guys never asked, the only thing you asked-actually demanded was for coffee" Luke stated

"not true, I asked you to marry me" Lor said matter-factly

"Lor I said no remember, then I asked you the next night"

"So that's how it happened" Rory said eyeing her mother.

"Yea I told you that" Lorelai said nervously

"No you told me that you purposed and he said yes" Rory said matter- factly

"Rory honey what have I always told you?"

Rory sighed "That you are always right"

"Exactly" Lorelai said proudly

"You taught Rory that?" Luke asked

"Since she could talk" Lor smiled

"Rory you seriously listened to your maniac mother?" Luke asked in disbelief

"Yea, she's my mother, she's always right" Rory said. Lorelai clapped her hands.

"Mom do I get a cookie?" Rory asked. Lor went into her purse and pulled out a bag of chocolate chip cookies.

"Go crazy" Lor smiled. Jess and Luke looked at them like they were crazy.

"Want a cookie?" Rory offered Jess

"No I'm good" he said

"Mommy, he's a healthy eater" Rory said acting scared. Lorelai looked at him wide eyed.

"We must do our work" Lorelai stated

"I call nights"

"Why do you get nights?" Lorelai argued

"Cause at nights all you have to do is sleep!"

"Fine but after 2 weeks we switch" Lorelai protested.


"What are they going to do to me?" Jess asked Luke quietly

"Try and make you become one of them"

"Should I start running?"

"no they should be done right….about…….now" Luke said watching the clock

"FINE!" Rory said acting angry.

"Yes I won!" Lorelai sang.

"How did you know that they would stop fighting at that exact time" Jess asked

"When you have been around these girls for 22 years, you kind of get to know there habits and how long there fights last" Luke stated

"You've known them for 22 years?"

"Yip, a couple of weeks after Rory was born Lorelai came barging in with this little baby and I got to know them pretty well, I even helped take care of Rory when she was a baby and I still do know"

"Wow that's a long time" Jess said

"Not that long" Luke smiled at his soon to be wife and the girl he practically called his daughter.

"Luke we have to go, I have to work in the morning" Lorelai complained

"Geez your cranky" Luke said

"Luke did you get my mother pregnant?" Rory asked jokingly

"No Rory I didn't" Luke said

"OK bye mom, bye Luke" Rory said

"Bye babe, bye Jess"

"Bye" they said in usion.

They left and now it was just Jess and Rory.

"So that was your mom" Jess said

"Yup that was her" Rory said proudly.


A/N:...xxxLotxxx: This is a literati story. And while I was watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I got the idea for this. In the Movie Charlie got the golden ticket and also got the factory and Rory got her job in New york and also got Jess. (Jess is basically her golden ticket)

Thanks guys for all your reviews they mean a great deal to me! ;)
