"Hey Luke." Rory gave him a hug when they saw him after they had grabbed their luggage careful not to squash Libby who was sleeping against her shoulder.
"Rory."
"Where's Mom?"
"She didn't sleep very well last night, so I made her stay home on the condition that I bring you straight to the house." Luke explained.
"Want to help with this stuff?" Jess asked. "We seem to have twice as much stuff as when we left."
"That's what you get when you go on vacation, especially when Mom gives you a list of stuff she wants brought back."
"She was babbling something about mouse ears." Luke recalled.
"We have an abundance of mouse ears." Jess stated.
"You can't go to Disney without the ears. Didn't you ever watch the Mickey Mouse Club when you were a kid?" Rory asked.
"Surprisingly no. We were lucky if we got the local channels, Liz was usually too high to spring for cable, most of the time she was too high to spring for more than Twinkies."
"You should have called me if things were that bad." Luke suggested.
"Before she sent me to live with you, I saw you maybe once a year." Jess reminded him.

"Mom?" Rory called when she entered the house.
"In here." Lorelai responded. "Come let me make sure you're back in one piece."
"I'm here."
"And you have a tan." Lorelai replied. "I'm jealous."
"It was great weather."
"Where is my granddaughter?"
"She was babbling to Luke about Mickey and all the other wonders of Disney land while Jess was looking for the bag with the presents in."
"So you had a good time?"
"We had a great time. We have loads of pictures. Video." Rory sat down. "How are they doing?"
"I think we're onto the conga." Lorelai replied. "It would be easier if they stopped kicking one another because then the other one gets mad and starts kicking me in retaliation."
"It's only a few more months."
"I saw a woman on TV who had six."
"At once?" Lorelai nodded. "Someone should give her an award."
"I'd say so. I'm going to have trouble finding room for two, let alone six."
"Come up with any names yet?" Rory asked sitting down.
"William Richard for the boy." Lorelai replied.
"And the girl?"
"I have no idea. The only name I came up with for a girl I already used."
"Another Lorelai would be a little too Michael Jackson." Rory stated. "I guess Emily is out."
"Good guess."
"What's Luke's opinion?"
"I go through the pain so I can pick."
"You've got time. Just don't pick things that rhyme." Rory suggested.
"Grandma." Libby ran into the room.
"Hey kiddo. Nice T-shirt." Libby had a Beauty and the Beast T-shirt on.
"You." Libby held out a pair of mouse ears that had the name Lorelai on.
"Thank you honey." She put them on her head. "What do you think?"
"Pretty." Libby replied.
"You're very pretty too." Lorelai told her. "I missed you."
"Love ya." Libby smiled.
"Me too kid."
Rory picked Libby up and sat her on her lap, while Jess and Luke carried in the bag of gifts.
It took a while for them to go through the gift and the pictures. Rory pointed out things of interested and related stories about their trip.
By the time they were done with most of it Libby was yawning again.
"Hey Luke, can you give Libby and I a ride home? She should be in bed and you can help me bring the luggage up." Jess suggested.
"I'll stay here." Rory said. "I can walk home later."
"Okay." Luke agreed. "Take things easy." Luke told Lorelai.
"It's not like I can do much anyway." Lorelai pointed out.
"Mom there's something I need to tell you." Rory said when they had gone.
