A/N: Anyone else see the coincidence that Milo is Richard the editor of the paper in Bedford Diaries and Rory is now the editor at Yale?

"Mom?" Rory said when she returned to the apartment and found Lorelai sat on the ground outside the door.

"Hey kid."

"Why didn't you let yourself in?" Rory inquired, Lorelai had a spare key as did Luke.

"I left the keys at home and I couldn't be bothered to walk back stairs so I sat here. Where's Libby?"

"Charming customers at the dinner with Jess." Rory replied. "Let me help you up." Rory hauled her to her feet.

"How did it go with your grandparents?"

"'Gilmores don't elope.'" Rory replied.

"No we just get pregnant as teenagers, have girls called Lorelai and have Emily Gilmore lord it over us for the rest of our lives."

"Come in." Rory opened the door.

Lorelai sat herself on the couch.

"Are you okay?" Lorelai inquired.

"Grandma will get over it."

"Do you want to hear my news?" Lorelai asked.

"Sure." Rory sat down.

"Luke bought the Twickham house."

"Jess mentioned it. How do you feel about that?"

"It's a great house. There are enough bedrooms that the twins can have one each and you can have a room and Libby."

"Sounds great." Rory smiled. "It's going to be strange seeing you live somewhere else."

"Luke had an idea about that."

"You're going to split your time between the two?" Rory guessed. "Or wait until after the twins are born to move."

"Actually Luke thought you and Jess might like it as a wedding present."

"You want to give us the house?" Rory clarified.

"It would be nice to keep it in the family."

"You want to give us a house?"

"There is still a mortgage on it, but it's cheaper than your rent here. You know all the quirks and if anything breaks I loan out husbands to fix it. What do you think?"

"Yes!" Rory said then paused. "I'd need to talk to Jess."

"You have time. We won't be moving for a while. It's going to take a few weeks for the paperwork to go through and then Luke wants to decorate first, I think Jess will be roped into helping. But I'll need some help picking colours."

"I have paint chips around here somewhere." Rory replied.

"I think it can wait a few days." Lorelai stated. "But if you have some form of liquid that could be determined a beverage then I wouldn't say no."

"You want a drink. We have juice?"

"Okay." Lorelai agreed. "But I'd prefer coffee."

"I'd guess you have reached your decaf limit already today. So juice it is."

"Lib sit down." Jess instructed. Libby was stood on her chair, she pouted at him. "You know that doesn't work with me. Sit down before you hurt yourself."

Libby reluctantly obeyed.

"Good girl." Jess walked over and gave her a book to look at while he finished taking orders Luke still wasn't back yet. Luke had told him he'd only be gone a few hours at most, which is why Jess told Rory to leave Libby with him as he'd been expecting Luke back within twenty minutes.

When a flurry of people came in the door, Jess let Miss Patty sit with Libby to keep an eye on her.

"Since when do you wearing a ring?" Miss Patty asked when Jess brought her her food.

"Since I got married." Jess replied. "Lib be good for Miss Patty."

"Married?" Miss Patty repeated as Caesar rang the bell.

"I don't have time to get into that now." Jess went back to work every few seconds glancing at Libby to check she was okay.

"Babette." Miss Patty said when she saw her enter.

"Hey doll. Libby do you want to sit on my lap?" Babette said Libby on her lap so she could take her seat.

"Jess is wearing a wedding ring. I think he and Rory got married." Patty told her.

"Luke bought the Twickham house with out telling Lorelai about it until a few hours ago."
