"Hey." Lorelai let Jess, Rory and Libby in.

"Hey Mom." Rory replied. "She's pretty sleepy so I'm going to put her to bed."

"You know where her room is."

Lorelai closed the door and waited until Rory was out of earshot.

"How are the plans going?"

"Pretty good." Jess replied. "I think most things are arranged it's just a case of you taking her shopping."

"Are you offering to babysit?" Lorelai asked.

"Sure."

"When are you going to tell her?" Lorelai inquired.

"Just before you leave to go shopping." Jess replied.

"Are you sure you just want to spring it on her?"

"We've done a good job of keeping it a secret so far, a few more weeks won't hurt."

"Okay." Lorelai agreed.

"So where are the twins?"

"Upstairs in bed. I gave them both a bottle and a bath. They should be fine for a few hours, the monitor is on. Help yourself to anything in the fridge there's money on the mantelpiece if you want take out. I have my cell phone with me, so if there is a problem call."

"We can handle it." Jess assured her. "Where did you loose Luke to?"

"He went to change his shirt. He only got home ten minutes ago."

"Right, I'll be on the couch."

Rory came down before Luke.

"Everything okay?" Lorelai inquired.

"She's settled, she wasn't awake enough to read to her. So where are Will and Casey?"

"Upstairs. I explained it all to Jess who is sat on the couch."

"Have a nice time." Rory told her.

Rory kicked off her shoes and curled up against Jess who wrapped his around her shoulders as he flicked the channels trying to find something to watch.

"Ready to go?" Luke said when he came downstairs.

"I have been for five minutes."

"It makes a change from me waiting for you." Luke countered. "Rory and Jess seem settled."

"Let's go or we'll miss our reservation. Goodbye."

"Bye." Jess responded.

"Did I tell you Jess invited Christopher?" Lorelai asked as they drove.

"Where?" Luke asked.

"To the thing."

"What thing?"

"I forgot you don't know."

"Know what?" Luke was getting slightly annoyed.

"You can't tell Rory."

"I can't Rory anything if you don't tell me in the first place."

"You know how Rory said she'd have a family wedding for us since we missed the first one."

"Yes."

"Jess is organising a whole wedding for their anniversary. He invited all the guests, well except those who live in town which he'll do a few days before, got Sookie to help with the food and to make a cake." She explained.

"Rory doesn't know about it?"

"No." Lorelai replied.

"Doesn't she need a dress or something?"

"We're going shopping for one the day before along with Lane and Paris."

"Jess really managed to organise a wedding?"

"Yes. Like I said Sookie and I helped."

"And everybody knows about this except Rory."

"And the people in town with big mouths."

"What do Emily and Richard think?" Luke asked.

"They're all for it." Lorelai replied. "I found the cutest outfits for the kids and Libby."

"Are you sure Rory doesn't want to plan her own wedding?" Luke inquired.

"Hey I think it's sweet. And Jess keeps offering to babysit."
