Rory and Jess were both sitting on the couch that night. Rory dressed in a red dress that hit mid knee. And Jess in slacks and a polo. They sat together silently reading their books. No were words were ever needed between Jess and Rory they knew what eachother felt. Sometimes Lorelei said they were more like twins then cousins. They were always finishing eachothers sentences. This is why Jess knew there was something different about Rory. He just couldn't figure out what.
At 6 o clock on the dot Lorelei and Luke walked in both with grim faces. Nobody hated Friday night dinners as much as Lorelei. She was always being yelled at by her Mother. But she tried to make the best of it for Rory and Jess. These were the only Grandparents in Rory's life and she deserved to be able to spend time with them. Same for Jess, even though they weren;t his "real" grandparents he still called them granma and Grandpa and thought of them as that, and they thought of him as a grandson.
When they got to the Gilmore Mansion, Luke rung the doorbell and they all stood outside waiting for the maid to answer the door.They were finally let in by Emily after a couple minutes of waiting, which Emily was not pleased to have to answer her own front door. They were led straight into the dining room, because dinner had been ready early.
So children, how's school?" Emily asked.
"It's great Grandma", Rory and Jess said in unison.
Jess, any pranks in the making"? Richard asked Jess.
"Richard please!" Emily squeaked.
"Don't worry Grandma they are all harmless. We actually have a few we are just waiting for the right time to plant them." Jess told Richard.
Richard laughed and they all continued to make pleasent conversation about the Inn, the diner, friends and family. Near the end of desert. Things begin to get more personal.
"Rory, i heard from a friend of mine that you and that lovely friend of yours, Colin, were dating, congratulations darling he's a real catch" Emily said not realizing the mistake she had made.
"What" Jess said shooting up out of his seat ready to murder someone.
"NO", Rory cried out, "Thats not true, I was upset and Colin comforted me, I guess some of the chiltonies must have gotten the wrong idea. Colin is like a brother to me".
"What were you upset about ", Jess said looking at her accusingly.
"Well i guess there IS something i need to tell you"
A/N Not that great of a chapter. I was just setting it up for the next chapter though.
