Here is the last chapter!
Three Years Later…
"No…" Rory whined pulling Jess back into the bed with her, "Don't get up… you're warm."
Jess chuckled and fell back into the bed, "You want coffee, don't you?"
"Oh… if that's what you are leaving for then don't let me stop you." She smiled and let go of the hold she had on his arm.
"That's what I thought." He grinned and walked out of the bedroom. Rory watched him walk out and then slipped out of bed herself. She walked into the kitchen and wrapped her arms around him as he watched the coffee maker drip black liquid into the clear pot. He wrapped on arm around her waist and pulled her closer, placing a kiss on the top of her head.
She smiled and sighed, happily, "So we are going to Stars Hollow today… you promise?"
"I promise… just go get dressed and we will head to Stars Hollow. Luke said we can stay above the diner."
"Okay." She pulled back and kissed him quickly, before running off into their bedroom to get dressed. He watched her, smiling.
Rory sat down beside her mom and in front of Luke, looking exhausted, "So where's that nephew of yours?" She smiled.
Luke nodded to the storage room, "In there, stocking… and yes you can go see him." He told the 22 year old girl sitting in front of him.
She jumped off the stool and ran into the storage room, "Ha! Luke made you work." She said shutting the door behind her.
Jess turned to her and nodded, "Afraid so… it's your fault, though. You left to go shopping with your mom and I was stuck here listening to Luke gripe about how I'm 'too damn lazy for my own good'." He rolled his eyes. But honestly he was happy that his and his Uncle's relationship had gone back to normal, and yet improved at the same time.
"Oh poor you." Rory mocked.
Jess smirked and pulled her close to him, kissing her softly, "So did you buy me something?" He joked, pulling away from her.
"Actually, no." Rory laughed a little, "I only bought for mom and she only bought for me. Sorry!"
"Oh don't be, it's okay, I don't want you to waste your money on me." He intertwined their fingers together and tugged her to him again, catching her lips in a more passionate kiss.
The door opened and Liz squealed with delight, "Luke told me you two were in here!" She grinned and stepped forward to hug Rory.
"Remind me to kill Luke." Jess mumbled, giving his mom a hug after she turned to him.
"Oh it's so good to see you two… Rory you are looking more beautiful everyday and Jess, my boy, so handsome." She patted his cheek and failed to notice him roll his eyes, "So when are we going to hear wedding bells?"
Rory widened her eyes at the question and Jess just looked down at his shoes, "Mom…" He groaned.
"What? I have a right to ask… you two are just so cute." Liz smiled and took a step back, "Well come out here so you can see your baby sister, will you?"
"Yes ma'am." He mocked and walked with Rory out of the supply closet behind his mother. Rory laughed a little watching Jess' face soften as he saw his baby sister in her car seat on the counter. He unbuckled the straps that were holding her in and lifted her out, "Hey there Doula." He smiled and cradled her in his arms.
Rory tickled Doula's little stomach once and smiled at her, "She's getting so big…" She said in awe, "She looks like you." She said looking up at Jess.
Jess nodded, "Lucky little thing, huh?" He laughed a little.
Lorelai rolled her eyes, "Oh please… I want to hold her!" She stretched out her arms and Jess placed Doula in them, carefully.
"Fine, take away the fun." He looked to his mother who was looking at him, oddly, "What?"
"You and Rory look good as parents!" She grinned.
Jess rolled his eyes and shook his head, "Stop it."
"Fine." She sighed and looked at Rory.
Rory had fallen asleep on the couch and Jess went downstairs to the diner. He jumped, surprised when he saw that Liz was at the counter, drinking a cup of coffee, "What are you doing in here?"
"I know where the key is…" Liz said in a 'duh' tone and rolling her eyes, much like Jess would do.
Jess nodded getting himself a cup of coffee and sitting down beside her, "How long you here for?"
"A couple days… so, seriously Jess, why haven't you popped the question yet?" She whined a little, "You love Rory, Rory loves you… I love Rory… so what is it? Too soon? You've been dating for three years and you are both 22. Come on…"
Jess sighed, not wanting to fight with her about this and reached under the counter. She heard rustling around before Jess came up and slid a black velvet box to her, "There, open it."
Smiling with pure delight, she opened the box and saw the beautiful ring inside, "Oh my gosh… Jess this is beautiful." She looked up at her, "I hope that is not how you were going to propose." She said speaking of his earlier comment.
"Damn. That was my plan." He said sarcastically.
"You are going to propose! How long have you had this?"
Jess shrugged, "I got it last year at Christmas when we were here. I just hid it under there and told Luke not to say anything. I have been looking for the perfect moment since. Just can't find it."
"Aw! That's so cute! I am so happy for you." She smiled, genuinely. A beeping noise filled the diner and Liz looked down at the device on her hip, "Uh oh… it's TJ. Doula made a 202."
"What the hell is that?" Jess said, almost afraid to know.
"Jess… honestly, you don't want to know what a 202 is when it comes to what's in the diaper."
"Ah, jeez…" Jess groaned.
"You asked." She got up and kissed his cheek, "Have fun! Love you and see you tomorrow!"
When she walked out Jess wiped his cheek and walked upstairs with the ring in his pocket. He slid in quietly and watched as Rory slept peacefully. He reached down and picked her up to put her on the bed so she wouldn't be sore in the morning. When he laid her down on the bed she woke up and smiled at him.
"I didn't want to wake you." Jess said, guiltily, "I'm sorry."
"Don't be." She said, still smiling a little. She lifted up and kissed him, "I love you..."
"I love you, too." He smiled and put a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Are you getting in bed?" She asked, cocking her head to the side.
"Yeah…" He smirked and took off his jeans and over shirt, then got into bed with her.
She turned to face him and wrapped her arms around his torso, "You've changed." She smiled and looked up at him.
"Oh god, have I turned soft? Cause that would totally screw with my image." He joked.
Rory laughed a little, "No, you just know you aren't undefeatable now. A few years ago you would never ask for help for anything… you always had to do it on your own. If you wouldn't have changed we would have been sleeping out in your car." She laughed.
He smirked, "You're probably right…"
"But then again you're still the same old Jess. Sarcastic, smart, kind of a jerk when you want to be, still a little bit stubborn, and still have a cute butt. Miss Patty just pointed that out today."
Jess groaned and his cheeks turned flaming red, "I wish she wouldn't undress me with her eyes…"
Rory laughed, "At least it's only with her eyes."
"Stop it." Jess couldn't help but let out a little chuckle at Rory's statement.
Her eyes started closing a little and Jess just watched her, "Are you sleepy?"
"Mhm…" She said falling asleep.
"Hey just one more thing…" He had it all planned out in his head before this. It was going to be nicer than this… maybe even more romantic, but he couldn't wait anymore. He had to ask her and if this isn't how she imagined it he would re-do it however she wanted.
"What?" She said softly, cuddling into him more.
He swallowed hard and she could feel his heartbeat speed up. She looked up at him with tired eyes, "You okay?"
"Marry me."
"Wh- What?" Rory asked, smiling a little.
Jess took a deep breath and pulled the box out of the pocket of his jeans. He sat up and gave the box to her, "I said… Marry me."
She opened the box and smiled, "Yes!"
Jess smiled at her, surprised, "Yes?"
"Yes!" She grinned and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer and deepening the kiss. She pulled away and looked into his eyes, "Somehow I knew it would be like this…"
"You expected to be proposed to in the bed at 11:14 at night in the apartment my Uncle formerly lived in?" He asked, smirking.
"No!" She said, hitting his shoulder playfully, "I expected it to be unexpected and not as clichéd as most proposals… and I expected you to make a smart-ass remark five minutes after you asked. Thank god you didn't prove me wrong or I would have been worried." She said, laughing.
He smiled and kissed her forehead. Jess took the ring out of the little box and slipped it on her left hand.
She looked at it and wriggled her fingers, "We're getting married…" She said, softly, in a daze.
Jess nodded and looked at the ring on her finger, "Can we wait till morning for you to call your mother?" He pleaded.
"Oh fine." She rolled her eyes at him and smiled.
"Good." He rolled over onto her and she let out a scream of surprise and laughter before he placed his lips on hers.
