A/N: For those of you who keep complaining its too long or about typos or grammar errors, there is a simple solution. STOP READING, rather than sending me unsigned reviews telling me to end it. Now that the rant is over back to our story.

Rory let herself into the apartment, they still hadn't figure out when they were moving to the Gilmore house as they needed to buy extra furniture and redecorate.

The shoes that were discarded were the first thing that caught her attention, then the denim jacket, the dropped keys and finally the purse flung over bedroom door handle.

Fortunately Rory recognised all the items, especially the shoes which were ones she had loaned her mother.

"Mom?" She pushed open the bedroom.

Lorelai hadn't even taken the time to get under the covers she had just passed out on top of the comforter.

"Mom." Rory repeated. "Mom." She gently shook her leg.

"Go 'way." Lorelai mumbled.

"Mom, it's time to wake up. Mom." Rory shook her head.

"What?" Lorelai half opened her eyes.

"What are you doing?"

"Sleeping."

"On my bed? However Goldilocks that sounds. Where are the twins?"

"Jess."

"Jess is watching them?" Rory questioned.

"He kicked me out and told me to get some sleep."

"Jess threw you and out and told you to get some sleep." Rory repeated.

"Yes."

"He offered to look after the twins?" Rory was a little confused.

"Yes. What time is it?"

"5.30 give or take a few minutes."

"That's not good."

"What time did you leave him baby sitting?" Rory asked.

"Around 10."

"Jess has been watching them for 7 and half hours?"

"Yes. I need to get home." Lorelai stated.

"I think I'll come with you." Rory suggested.

Jess was burping William after just having given him his bottle when they came in the door. Libby was sat on the floor on a cushion next to Casey showing her a picture book. Libby was pointing out all the pictures to her.

"You're alive." Lorelai stated.

"Of course. Hey Rory." Jess smiled as William burped.

"Hey."

"Mommy." Libby smiled too. "I read Casey."

"That's great kid." Rory looked at her.

"You managed to survive."

"It's not that hard." Jess replied. "Even if Luke seems to think reading Lord of the Rings to them will corrupt them."

"Luke?" Lorelai questioned.

"He came by to bring you lunch, Libby and I ate it. Will go to your mother so she can check I didn't damage you." Jess handed William over to Lorelai.

"They've been good?"

"They seem to like books as much as Libby does. We've had fun." Jess replied.

"You know you're crazy." Rory told him.

"That doesn't seem like a good incentive for your mother to let me watch the twins again."

Lorelai kissed William's head.

Casey started to cry.

"No cry." Libby rubbed Casey's stomach. Casey's crying turned to a whimper. "Keep reading." Libby started pointing things in the book to Casey.

Rory looked at Jess.

"She was singing to them earlier, until they went to sleep."

"I honestly didn't mean to be gone so long." Lorelai told him.

"It's fine." Jess replied. "But I'm taking a bathroom break."
