"Mom?" Rory called when she walked through the front door.

"In here." Lorelai responded.

"What are you watching?" Rory asked looking at the woman on the screen.

"It's a pregnancy exercise video." Lorelai replied from her seat on the couch.

"Isn't the idea to actually do the exercises?" Rory inquired.

"It was too much effort putting it on." Lorelai rubbed her stomach.

"Luke sent me by with lunch." Rory handed the Luke's bag she had brought with her.

"Great. Where's the kid?"

"Jess brought her back a book about a bunny who takes a trip on a plane. So he's on about the fifth time of reading it to her." Rory sat down on the couch.

"That kid will be reading soon."

"Might make things easier." Rory smiled. "We're still working on the whole potty training thing but I think that will have to wait until we get back from vacation."

"She'll learn eventually." Lorelai replied.

"I know." Rory paused. "Do you remember when Grandma said Grandpa would be back?"

"I think around three. Why?"

"Jess just needs to speak to him."

"Voluntarily?"

"He called him about my ring." Rory reminded her.

"Good point. Why this time?"

"He needs a lawyer."

"What did he do?" Lorelai asked instantly thinking the worst.

"He didn't do anything." Rory stated.

"Then why does he need a lawyer?"

"If I tell you, you can't say anything to anyone."

"Okay." Lorelai agreed.

"Swear on the twins' life."

"That's a little harsh."

"Jess is still thinking this over so you can't tell anyone until he makes a decision and this is his decision."

"What?"

"A guy called Mel, which is short for something that sounds like one of Grandma's friends, is offering him a lot of money to option his book to make a film."

"A film?" Lorelai repeated.

"Jess wants someone to look over the contract he has to let them know by Friday."

"That's huge news, I have to tell someone."

"You swore on the twins." Rory reminded her. "And it's Jess's decision."

"Who wouldn't want their book made into a movie?" Lorelai asked.

"Jess isn't sure he wants the attention it would bring. He kind of likes the normality of the life we have."

"Who would have thought Jess would like small town life?" Lorelai smiled.

"He goes to more town events than Luke does."

"That's because you take Libby and he'll follow the two of you anywhere." Lorelai countered.

"I know." Rory smiled.

"So what do you think?"

"It's Jess's book, its Jess's decision. Although I do like the other thing."

"What other thing?" Lorelai asked.

"There is a TV show that might mention the book." Rory said.

"What TV show?"

"Oprah." Rory replied.

"They want to put Jess's book on Oprah's book club?"

"According to Baxter."

"That huger than the movie."

"It is Oprah." Rory grinned.

"I have to tell someone, I have to gloat to Mom." Lorelai requested.

"Jess has to agree to it first."

"But…" Lorelai couldn't finish her sentence. "I have to pee."

"Good argument."

"I think it has style." Lorelai said as she hauled herself off the couch.
