"Hey." Jess kissed Rory awake on Friday morning.
"That's a nice way to wake up." Rory said as her eyes fluttered open.
"It's also a goodbye."
"Goodbye?" Rory questioned.
"I've got to leave to go to New York in ten minutes otherwise I'll be late."
"Ten minutes?"
"I need you to get up and take a shower; I'll make you some coffee. Libby is up and dressed and watching her Sesame Street counting DVD. She's had breakfast."
"Okay." Rory said crawling out of bed.
"Ten minutes."
Jess handed Rory the mug of hot coffee when she entered the room dressed.
"Thanks." Rory said taking a sip. "This is great. Is there some Danes coffee making gene I should know about?"
"No." Jess replied. "Liz can't make coffee but then again she'll tell you to drink some new age crap."
"Watch your language."
"Hey Lib, Daddy has to go now."
"Where?" Libby asked pay attention to Jess rather than the DVD.
"New York. It's a big city. But I should be home by the time you get back from Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner."
"Okay." Libby replied hesitantly.
"Come and give me a hug." Jess requested as he crouched down Libby ran over and hugged him. "I love you kid, be good for Mommy and I'll bring you a present."
"Book?" Libby asked.
"Maybe. Maybe I'll bring Mommy one too. Go watch TV." Libby ran back to watch TV.
"Books are good." Rory smiled. "Have a safe trip and call me when you get there and text me when you're on the way back."
"Yes ma'am." Jess kissed her. "You behave yourself for Libby. I love you."
"I love you too."

"Lorelai, Rory, Libby please come in." Emily said as she opened the door.
"The maid's night off?" Lorelai guessed.
"She's busy with dinner." Emily corrected. "Libby."
"Granma." Libby smiled. "Daddy gone."
"Daddy's gone to New York for the day he will be back tonight." Rory corrected Libby.
"Luke not joining us tonight?" Emily asked.
"He thought we could have girls' night since Dad isn't here. I told you that when I called a few days ago." Lorelai reminded her.
"Let's go and sit down." Rory suggested.
"So why is Jess in New York?" Emily inquired when they sat down.
"His editor needed to see him; he wanted him to meet someone. I haven't spoken to him since he called to tell me he got to New York okay. Then he texted me to say he was leaving about an hour ago. I'm sure he'll tell me what it was about."
"By the way you're getting another granddaughter and a grandson." Lorelai interrupted.
"You finally found out." Emily said.
"Luke told me."
"How did Luke know?"
"He asked the nurse while I went to the bathroom after the sonogram." Lorelai replied.
"That's good news." Emily smiled. "Rory did you decided on a vacation destination."
"Yes. Walt Disney World."
"Walt Disney World?" Emily repeated.
"You didn't tell you me you were going to Disneyland." Lorelai protested.
"We're going to the one in Orlando in two weeks. It's all booked." Rory said. "The reason we didn't tell you Mom was because Luke and Jess were worried you want to come with us."
"Is it an appropriate place to take Libby?" Emily asked.
"It's designed for kids and there are all sorts of rides she can go on. It's a really nice hotel. We have business class tickets so we have plenty of leg room. I checked the airlines policy on children. It's all set and researched."
"Why Disneyland?" Lorelai inquired.
"Why not?" Rory shrugged.
