Lorelai got up to answer the door five days later.
"So you're back." Lorelai said when she saw Jess standing there.
"I'm back."
"Five days." Lorelai said.
"Someone was out sick so my boss made me work too days before he'd let me quit and then I had to try and explain where Star's Hollow is to the guy who is going to ship my stuff out here because he has lousy maps and couldn't find one with it on."
"You should mention that to Taylor he'll get right on it." Lorelai suggested.
"I'll mention that about the time I apologise for the sweater comment."
"What sweater comment?" Lorelai asked.
"Taylor asked why I was in town and I told him I wouldn't ask why he wore those awful sweaters if he didn't ask about my living arrangements."
"Now I would have liked to have seen that."
"I thought Rory would have told you. She knew about it."
"She didn't mention anything." Lorelai said.
"Is she here?"
"Rory, visitor." Lorelai called.
"Who is here to… Jess." Rory broke into a smile and ran and hugged him.
Lorelai grabbed a camera from the draw and took a picture of the look of shock on Jess's face.
"This is where I grab my purse and go and visit Luke. It's nice to have you back Jess and I'll be going out the back door." Lorelai grabbed her purse and left.

"Luke coffee." Lorelai yelled when she entered the diner.
"Is there any chance you could be quieter?" Luke asked.
"Give me coffee and a kiss and I'll think about it."
"How about the kiss first before the coffee?" Luke suggested.
"I'm easy."
"I think that would count as one of you 'dirty' comments." Luke said before he kissed her. "By the way Jess is back."
"I know. He dropped by."
"Did he tell you that his boss made him work a couple of days before he quit?"
"He mentioned it. Then I told Rory he was there she hugged and he pulled a funny face since he wasn't expecting, I got a picture by the way, and then I left."
"Rory okay?" Luke inquired.
"She loves your idiot nephew for some reason but other than that she's fine. Packing."
"You need to borrow my truck again?" Luke asked.
"As long as you come along with it. For all our moving needs."
"We should be able to arrange something."

"Rory, as nice as this is. You've been stood here hugging me for fifteen minutes." Jess had started feeling awkward the moment Rory had hugged him.
"I'm sorry." She apologised.
"No problem." He paused. "I guess you missed me."
"What would make you say that? Pregnancy hormones make you do strange things."
"I see." Jess said.
"So when did you get back?"
"About an hour ago. I had to unpack a few things. The rest arrives next week."
"So you're back to stay?"
"I told you I was moving back here."
"I know. I think it's the whole seeing is believing thing."
"You seem to have amassed a few boxes too." Jess commented.
"All stuff that needs to go to Yale."
"You have more boxes going to Yale than I do have coming from New York."
"You've seen it on TV; the guy has one small suit case."
"And the woman has six." Jess finished for her.
"I think it works for boxes of personnel possessions too."
"Right. I suppose I have to call Liz."
"Whenever you're ready."
