Rory finally got back around 4.
"Hey have a good day?" Jess asked.
"Pretty good." Rory put the carrier on the table.
"Hey baby." Jess unstrapped her and picked her up. "Have you been a good girl for your Mom?"
"She drooled all over Paris and threw up on my grandmother."
"Good girl." Jess told her.
"You're a bad influence."
"How did you do with the rest?"
"Both Lane and Paris agreed. So it's Sunday at 3."
"This Sunday? As in five days from now?"
"That would be Sunday." Rory agreed. "It was the only time Reverend Skinner was free."
"Sorry I have plans on Sunday."
"Jess the only thing on your schedule other than work is dinner with my grandparents. "Rory countered.
"Okay, so I'm free." Jess admitted.
"So is everyone although I haven't check with Mom, Luke or Liz."
"You really think you can pull this off in five days?"
"Mom once managed to through this retirement party for a guy who kept changing the theme every few hours. We'll figure something."
"Speaking of Lorelai, she was in looking for you earlier." Jess informed her and he moved Libby in his arms. "Here you go Lib." He gave her back her pacifier which she had spit out.
"Did she say why?"
"No she came in, we talked for a few minutes, TJ was headed this way so I took a break and went upstairs." Jess replied.
"Do you want to call Liz and invite her or should I?"
"I'd talk to Luke and Lorelai and double check they can make it first."
"Where is Luke anyway?" Rory asked.
"Kitchen."
"Hey Luke." Rory walked over the counter.
"Rory." He walked out of the kitchen.
"Are you busy Sunday at 3?" Rory inquired.
"No. Why?"
"Baptism." Rory replied. "It's a good time for Reverend Skinner."
"Okay. Have you checked with Lorelai?"
"I'll call her and Liz when I get upstairs." Rory stated.
"You do know you're mother keeps making godfather jokes and references."
"I know. Did she tell you the one about the deaf mute accountant?"
"Twice." Luke sighed.
"I'll let you know when I know more details."
"Okay." Luke agreed.
Rory hopped off her stool, and walked over to Jess.
"I've got her while you make your calls." He told her.
"Thanks." Rory gave him a kiss. "I won't be long."
"Take you're time."
Once Rory had gone upstairs Luke watched Jess with Libby.
"You really like being a Dad don't you?" Luke said.
"It's got its perks; getting woken up all hours of the night is one of the downsides."
"You're good with her." Luke commented.
"Practice." Jess shrugged.
"That's more than practice."
Jess grabbed the toy attached to the carrier and held it in front of Libby.
"One thing I do know is I'm never letting her date a guy like me."
"You're not that bad." Luke stated.
"Trust me you didn't know half the stuff I did back in New York."
"You got passed all that, you're a good kid now." Luke crossed his arms.
"That's what responsibility does to you."
"She's a pretty good responsibility." Luke pointed out.
"Do you want to hold her?"
"I'm good." Luke replied. "I have to get back to work."
