A/N: For everyone who keeps asking that the chapters be longer, I'm currently working on five ffs and the only way for you to get an update at the current rate is for the chapters to be this long.
Rory woke up the next morning it took her a second to figure out why there was a weight around her waist. She then remembered where she was.
Jess had obviously rolled over in his sleep, he had his looped his arm over her waist and had his hand protectively on her stomach. He also had one of his feet resting on her leg.
Rory couldn't help thinking that it was a nice way to wake up.
Jess woke with a start as Rory's cell phone rang and he realised what he was doing and rolled onto his back.
"Good morning Mom." Rory answered the phone.
"How did you know it was me?"
"Who else would call me this time of the morning?" Rory asked.
"It's nine-thirty."
"What?" Rory sat up. "That was a bad idea." She held a hand to her forehead.
"What was a bad idea?" Lorelai asked concern in her voice. Jess looked concerned too.
"I just sat up too fast that's all."
"So you've only just woken up?"
"Yes." Rory replied.
"What about Jess?"
"The phone woke him up too."
"Too?" Lorelai questioned.
"Mom I told you we had to share a room."
"Did he behave himself?"
"He was a perfect gentleman." Rory said looking over to Jess who had hidden his head under a pillow.
"Jess?"
"Mom. I'm going to get up and get dressed and go and have breakfast and then we'll drive to Boston. We should get there at around lunch so I'll call you when we get there."
"Okay." Lorelai agreed. "Drive safely and I'll talk to you later."
"Bye Mom." Rory hung up and looked at Jess. "Good morning."
"Morning." He mumbled from under the pillow.
"It's nine-thirty so we should probably get up." Rory heard a mumbled what she thought was okay from him. "For a motel mattress it was surprisingly comfortable." She paused. "Jess, it's okay. It was a nice way to wake up." He didn't say anything. "Maybe you'll be more talkative when I get back from taking my shower. Don't smother yourself with the pillow unless you can guarantee I'll get on the cute cops from TV to investigate."
"Good morning." Rory said when she re-entered the room, Jess was reading a book. "Feeling slightly more social."
"Rory…"
"If you apologise I'll be forced to confiscate all your books." Rory crossed her arms.
"Fine." He huffed.
"Good. I'll go and find something for breakfast while you get dressed. I'll be back soon." She grabbed her purse and the room key and left.
"Well that went well." Jess muttered under his breath before going to get take a shower and get dressed.
When he left the bathroom Rory was sat eating what looked like an omelette out of a Styrofoam container and sipping on something out a takeaway coffee cup.
"I hope that's decaf." He said.
"Of course." Rory replied. "Yours isn't."
"Thanks." Jess picked up his coffee cup and looked to see what Rory had gotten him to eat.
"I couldn't make up my mind while I was there so I got both things I wanted and decided which one I'd eat when I got back."
"It's fine." Jess began to eat his breakfast.
"If we make sure we've got everything when we're done eating and then check out."
"Sounds like a plan." He paused. "How do you think your Dad is going to take it?"
"Better than my grandparents will and hopefully better than TJ."
"That was pretty funny." Jess recalled.
"It should take us a couple of hours to get to Boston." Rory said.
"You know where your father's office is?"
"Yes. Well roughly which is why I got the directions."
"So we eat and leave."
"And remember to check out." Rory said.
"Right."
"I grew up around the inn, checking out is important. There was this guy once who didn't actual check out, he packed up went home, Mom had to call him."
