"What?" Paris snapped as she opened the door.

"Good morning to you too Paris." Jess greeted her.

"Rory isn't here she has a final and I have to study."

"I know." Jess replied.

"Then why did you drive all the way over here?" Paris asked.

"Lorelai asked me to give you this." Jess handed her a pink envelope.

"What is it?"

"An invitation to the surprise baby shower they are throwing Rory in a couple of weeks." Jess replied.

"And she hasn't heard of the mail?"

"She didn't want Rory to know about it and I was coming anyway. So can I come in?"

"Why?"

"I'm here to pack." Jess replied.

"Pack?"

"Finals are over on Saturday and since she hasn't packed anything I thought it would be one less thing to stress her out."

"She threw out all the boxes at the beginning of the year."

"Which is why I brought boxes." Jess grabbed the flat boxes he had brought with him and the packing tape. "So can I come in?"

"Just don't make noise, I'm studying."

"Fine."

When Rory got back from finishing her final, she noticed the light was on in her and she could hear someone was moving about.

"Paris." Rory tapped on her door and opened it without waiting for a response.

"I'm studying." Paris stated.

"I'll take a minute of your time. There's someone in my room."

"I know."

"Who is it?" Rory inquired.

"The guy who knocked you up." She replied.

"Jess? What's he doing?"

"Packing. Now I have to study."

"Thanks Paris." Rory left closing the door.

When Rory pushed open the door to her room she could see Jess was tangled up in the packing tape and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey." Jess looked over at her. "How did the final go?"

"Okay, I think." Rory replied. "Only two more to go." She paused. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd help you pack."

"And by help you mean sneak in while I'm busy and pack for me."

"I don't think it counts as sneaking in when Paris let me in but okay."

"It sweet but you haven't packed all my books have you? I still need to study."

"I only packed things you brought with you. Books and notes and anything on your desk I left there."

"Okay." Rory smiled and sat down on the bed. "I can live with boxes for a few days."

"I'll take home the ones you don't need."

"That's the benefit of having a car." Rory pointed out.

"I know."

"I know you wanted something a little bit more…." Rory couldn't figure out the word she was looking for.

"It's practical." Jess shrugged. "And I can afford the payments."

"If you're taking stuff home, you can take the laundry."

"Okay."

"Just remember to separate the whites and the colours."

"I have done laundry before." Jess reminded her.

"We're going to need to go shopping when school is out."

"For?" Jess prompted.

"I don't know, car seat, stroller, crib, the practical big stuff."

"How about we wait until after Christmas, it will give us time to do a little research?" Jess suggested. He knew the Gilmore's were planning on giving them one of the travel system stroller car-seat combination things and Luke was working on a surprise for Rory.

"Okay. We've got a couple months anyway."
