"Hey Rory do you know where my tie?" Jess inquired as he was getting ready on Sunday for the baptism. He was looking where he thought he'd left it but couldn't find it.

"Turn around." Rory told him.

"What?" He turned to look at her.

Rory lifted Jess's collar up and then slipped his pre-tied tie over his head and tightened the knot and then put his collar down and straightened his tie. Rory gave him a quick kiss.

"There."

"Thanks."

"Zip me up?" Rory requested turning around.

Jess slowly pulled the zip up of Rory's desk; he kissed her shoulder and her neck.

"Our daughter's baptism is in less than 90 minutes." Rory reminded him.

"So?"

"You don't want to get your shirt all wrinkled."

"That's why they invented a device called an iron." He wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Jess." Rory sighed.

"Rory."

"You're crazy."

"But you love me anyway."

"I love you anyway." Rory agreed, she turned around in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her lips caught his.

Libby woke up.

"Saved by the baby." Rory whispered.

"Right." Jess sighed.

"I need to get her dressed." Rory told him.

"Okay." Jess agreed.

"Sorry." Rory gave him another kiss.

Jess flopped down onto the bed.

"Hey honey." Rory picked Libby up. "Are you ready to get all pretty so the nice Reverend can splash water on your head?"

"It's a good things she likes taking a bath."

"My little mermaid." Rory kissed her cheek, before she started humming Under The Sea from The Little Mermaid.

"The sea isn't always greener." Jess stated.

"Nor is the grass, especially when Mom covers it in weed killer instead of grass food."

"Sounds like Lorelai." Jess acknowledged. "Go back to your song."

…

Twenty minutes later there was a knock on the door.

"It's open." Jess called from the bed where he was reading a book.

"That's a polite way to answer the door." Paris entered.

"Saves the effort of having to put my book down, get up open the door only to turn around and reverse the process." Jess responded. "But to be polite. Hello Paris, nice to see you."

"Is Rory here?"

"Round the corner trying to decide whether Libby needs to wear socks."

"I already made that decision." Rory carried Libby into view. "The nice white lacy ones Mom bought before she grows out of them. Hey Paris."

"Rory." Paris replied.

"Do you want Jess to get you something to drink?" Rory offered.

"No thank you." Paris replied.

"I like you're suit."

"I wasn't exactly sure what you wear to a baptism." Paris admitted.

"You look great." Rory assured her. "Very appropriate."

"That's an interesting baptism dress." Paris commented.

"Mom made it for my baptism; she refused to use the Gilmore family one which has been around for generations. It had all of these ruffles and bows, I've seen pictures of Mom and Grandpa dressed in it."

"At least it isn't a Bangles t-shirt." Jess added.

"And she looks cute."

"Right." Paris agreed hesitantly.

"We don't have to head over to the church for a while do you want to take a seat?" Rory suggested. "You can tell me what I've been missing at school."
