"Jess doll, you're back." Babette who was walking with Miss Patty said.
"We're back." Jess agreed glad the hand with the ring on was tucked under the bag of groceries.
"How was your trip?" Patty asked. "Tell us everything."
"You should talk to Rory." Jess suggested. "She has the pictures. I have to get home; Luke's watching Libby while I ran to the store."
"Okay doll." Babette agreed. "Tell Rory we want to see the pictures."
"I will."
Jess quickly headed back to the apartment to avoid running into anyone else.
He let out a sigh as he closed the door.
"I didn't know going to the store was so tough." Luke crossed his arms.
"I ran into Patty and Babette."
"I stand corrected."
"I told them to talk to Rory if the wanted to know about our trip and I kept my hand hidden." Jess explained.
"You're siccing Patty and Babette on Rory?" Luke questioned.
"She said she'd deal with telling people and when do I gossip with anyone?"
"Good point." Luke agreed.

"You're all grown up." Lorelai commented.
"I graduated college and I have a kid, I think I grew up a while ago."
"But you didn't get married until now."
"I'm not leaving town and you're going to have your hands full."
"Want to babysit?" Lorelai inquired.
"I'll volunteer Jess." Rory replied.
"You don't want to baby sit your brother and sister?"
"How about we let Luke and Jess baby sit the kids and we can have a movie night once a week?" Rory suggested.
"Sounds good." Lorelai agreed.
"Just not Fridays because of dinner."
"Is she really going to expect us to take to babies to dinner every week?"
"She expected me to take Libby every week." Rory countered.
"I don't see it happening."
"You're not obligated to go to dinner." Rory pointed out. "Besides I'm paying for grad school myself."
"I know." Lorelai sighed. "Hey kid watch where you're kicking." Lorelai rubbed her stomach.
"Definitely don't miss that." Rory smiled.
"I have to pee." Lorelai stated.
"I'm not stopping you."

"So what are you going to do?" Jess asked Luke as he handed him a cup of tea.
"About what?" Luke inquired.
"Twins and a two bedroom house."
"Put an offer in on the Twickham house." Luke replied.
"Seriously?"
"We meet with the town elders tomorrow."
"Who is we?" Jess asked.
"Kirk."
"Kirk has enough money to buy a house?" Jess questioned.
"Apparently he's been saving up considering he's had thousands of jobs over the years and lives with his mother."
"Go Kirk." Jess said. "What does Lorelai think of the idea?"
"She doesn't know yet."
"You don't think you should mention you're going to sell her house? The one she worked hard to buy so she and Rory could move out of the potting shed." Jess asked.
"I never said anything about selling it. I thought she'd let you and Rory move in. It's bigger than this place and you wouldn't have to pay rent."
"You should talk to Lorelai." Jess suggested.
