"That's one crisis dealt with." Lorelai said coming out of the kitchen. "Who was at the door?"
"Babette." Rory pointed to where Babette was standing.
"Hey Babette." Lorelai said.
"Hey doll." Babette greeted her. "Do you have a minute there's something I need to talk to you about?"
"Sure. Why don't you come in the kitchen I'll make coffee?" Lorelai suggested. "You're okay with the kids aren't you?"
"We're fine." Rory assured her.
"Actually I need to go to the dry cleaners to get my suit." Jess said.
"Then I'm fine." Rory corrected herself.

Jess exited the bookstore after he had picked up a book and his suit. He was walking back towards his house when he heard someone call his name.
Jess turned towards the sound of voice only to see his mother getting out of her truck, and TJ carrying on.
"Liz." Jess said. "I didn't think you were getting here until tomorrow."
"And stand the chance of being stuck in traffic and missing my son's wedding?" Liz asked.
"I got married a year ago." Jess reminded her.
"I didn't get to go to my only son's wedding." Liz stated.
"Nor did anyone else except Libby."
"And where is my granddaughter?"
"Last time I saw her she was asleep on Lorelai's couch, while Rory tried to wrangle Casey and Will and stop Will from throwing things." Jess replied. "You can head over and see them if you like, but I've got to get home. I've got things to do."
"What've you been doing all day?"
"Watching Libby and the twins while Lorelai took Rory shopping for a dress. I'm sure if you ask nicely she'll show it to you."
"They let you watch the twins?"
"I've been watching them at least once a week since they were a few weeks old. I've watched Libby by myself while Rory was at school since she was born." Jess reminded her. "I have to go, go and see Luke or go over to Lorelai's but I have to go."

Jess walked up to the house, just as a car pulled up. He saw Christopher get out.
"Hello." Jess couldn't think of anything else to say to his father-in-law.
"I'm looking for Lorelai."
"She doesn't live here any more." Jess stated. "She hasn't since the twins were born."
"Right I forgot. Where's their place again?"
Jess gave him directions.
"It's a big house you shouldn't miss it." Jess told him.
"And Lorelai will be there?"
"She just got home half an hour ago. Rory, Libby, the twins and probably my mother will be there."
"Thanks." Christopher got back in his car and pulled out of the drive way.
Jess let himself into the house. He poured himself a glass of juice after he hung up his suit in the closet.
Once he drunk the juice, he head upstairs, slipping his shoes off he crashed on the bed still fully dressed.
It had been a long day. Libby had been up early, the twins were getting old so they were a handful to watch and would only get worse as they got older. Jess was exhausted from running around with them, his argument with Rory and general plans for the wedding.
He grabbed one of the pillows and fluffed it up under his head and settled down to take a nap, not worry about the number of people he'd sent in the direction of Lorelai's house. They were all her family too so she could deal with them.

A/N: I know it's short, but I had a long day.
