Chapter 8: Babies, Love, & Marriage
After dropping everything off at the Crap Shack, Rory went to find Jess and just hang out with him for awhile or help out in the diner. So, she arrived at the diner and, seeing that he wasn't downstairs, went up the stairs that led to the apartment but stopped when she heard voices from inside. It was Tristan and Jess.
"So, what did you and Rory do last night when you left the diner?" Tristan asked casually.
Jess chuckled dryly and responded, vague as ever, "Uh, stuff."
"Uh huh, did you have sex Jess? Because that's what I'm thinking. I know Lorelai wasn't home and I heard the frustration in your voice at the interruption Liz caused," Tristan countered.
Rory scoffed disgustingly at Tristan.
"Yes we did," Jess answered and she could hear the smirk in his voice.
Tristan laughed a little, "Always a good way to pass the time. So, how was she?"
"Come on man," Jess said.
"I'm serious, come on, I told you about Paris." She could truly imagine the gigantic grins on both their faces.
"Yes, but that does not mean that I must tell you how Rory was," Jess insisted.
"Ah, but you know you'll tell me eventually because you also know you can't keep it in, and EVERYONE knows you sure as hell aren't going to talk to Luke," Tristan broke down.
"Fine, she was fucking amazing," Jess finally confessed.
"Oh man, I imagined she would be," Tristan said.
"Oh God, I can't believe you just said that!" Jess exclaimed.
Rory was getting madder by the minute. How dare they talk about her and Paris like they were a piece of meat!
"Well, she was the center of my fantasies for about a year," Tristan told Jess, "Ow!"
Rory realized that Jess must have thrown something at him, probably a book.
"I didn't need to know that," Jess replied.
"Yeah, whatever, so what happened after you left?" Tristan asked.
"Well, I was so confused at why we were leaving and she just kissed me and pulled me to her house. So we get there and as she's opening the door she tells me that Lorelai is staying at the inn for the night. We both knew what was going to happen, but danced around it for a few minutes before she reached up and kissed me. She took me to her bed room and I laid her down and well, you know what happened next…God, she was so fucking tight," Jess related to him.
"Dude, you're a lucky, lucky man," Tristan told him.
"That I am," Jess agreed, "That I am."
Rory was furious! She was shaking in anger. Her fists were clenched and her lips were pressed together in a firm line so that she wouldn't scream in frustration. She took a deep breath and pounded down the stairs.
"What the hell was that?" Jess asked when they heard the pounding.
"I don't know, it was probably Luke and he got freaked out at our conversation or something," Tristan shrugged it off.
"Yeah," Jess agreed and they went back to Jess reading and Tristan doing some trig. homework.
Once Rory got home, she rushed into her bedroom and slammed the door shut. She turned up The Clash as loud as her stereo would go and pulled out a random book. By the time the clock struck 6 she had calmed down enough to get everything ready for the movie night. She was still fuming with anger at both Jess and Tristan, mostly Jess, but she was going to do her best at being civil for her mother. This was her night.
She ordered half of a Chinese menu, 2 large pizzas with everything except sardines, and asked Luke to bring pie, donuts, and coffee. At 7, people were beginning to show up and Rory went upstairs to tell her mother who had gotten home during her calm down as did Paris. Both knew not to disturb her while the music was that loud either due to studying or needing to be left alone.
When Luke, Jess, and Tristan showed up, she forced a tight smile on her face.
"Hey Luke," she greeted warmly and gave him a hug. She told him to put the food in the kitchen and you could here him grumbling about the amount of food he found when he reached the kitchen.
"Tristan," she regarded shortly and gave him a forced, tight-lipped smile.
Tristan replied slowly, wondering why she was smiling at him like that. She hadn't done that since he had been late getting to Paris' car and that was when she still hated him.
"Hey Ror," Jess greeted with a smile and leaned in to give her a kiss.
She turned her head so that he got her cheek, "Hey," she replied brusquely and walked away into the living room. She smiled at everyone and pulled Paris into the kitchen for a moment. Jess walked in after her and gave Tristan a puzzled look. Tristan looked back at him and Jess told him what happened. They were both confused at her actions, but let it slide. This was Lorelai's night. After Lane arrived, they all settled on or around the couch with various combinations of food to start the movies.
Lorelai and Luke sat in one corner of the couch while Paris sat in the other corner with Rory's head in her lap. In front of Rory was Lane sitting on the floor and to the left of the coffee table was Jess and Tristan, wondering what the hell they did wrong. After Paris and Rory had returned to the living room, Paris started to act the same way towards them as Rory.
By the middle of the second movie, Lorelai and Luke had fallen asleep. Rory woke them and told them to go up to bed; they would finish the movies tomorrow. They obliged and slowly made their ways up the stairs.
Rory snapped her attention back to the other guests, "Maybe you guys should leave now," she said to Jess and Tristan.
"Rory what's going on?" Jess asked.
"Nothing, it's late. I just think you should get home before it gets real dark out," she replied snidely and narrowed her eyes, daring him to push it.
"Rory, can I talk to you for a minute?" Lane piped in, interrupting the staring contest.
"Sure," Rory said. She turned around abruptly and walked briskly into the kitchen, Lane trailing behind her.
"What's going on?" Lane asked as they reached the kitchen.
"Jess told Tristan we had sex last night and then talked about how good I was," Rory whispered angrily.
Lane gasped, "No."
"Oh yes, I heard it with my own ears. Apparently I'm, and I quote, 'Fucking amazing'" Rory recited to her.
"I'll kill him," Lane hissed.
"Too messy," Rory quipped.
"You're right."
"We might as well get back in there. We left Paris with the goons. I'm surprised we haven't heard screams yet. They were talking about her, too," Rory said after a few moments of silence.
They went into the living room and were met with an icy silence.
"What the hell is going on?" Tristan demanded.
"Don't get me started," Rory warned.
"No, I want to know what we did to get you so fucking pissed off," Jess all but yelled.
Rory walked slowly over to him, uncrossing her arms as she did so. She clenched her fists at her sides and scowled at him. She came up to him so that they were nose to nose.
"Why don't you go talk to Tristan about how fucking tight I was," she whispered dangerously as she ran her hands down his chest, "or how fucking amazing I was," she hissed in his ear, biting his ear lobe and running her hands lower on his torso until her fingers started to slip underneath the fabric of his boxers teasingly. She then quickly shoved him back and marched into her room.
Jess was completely speechless.
"Dude, what the hell just happened?" Tristan asked cautiously.
"Let's just say that it wasn't Luke on the stairs earlier," he replied as he ran his hands threw his hair frustratingly.
"Shit," Tristan muttered under this breath.
"You pigs," Paris hissed and followed Rory's steps.
"You guys are the biggest assholes…I can't believe you talked about them like that," Lane shook her head.
"We're guys Lane; we talk about stuff like that. It's only natural," Jess informed her.
"Yeah, well maybe next time you should make sure your girlfriend isn't listening," she whispered harshly and went into Rory and Paris' bedroom with them.
"We fucked up," Tristan sighed.
"That we did cousin, that we did," Jess conceded.
They decided there was nothing they could do tonight and went back to the diner sullenly. The next morning, all hell broke loose.
It was the normal diner rush on a Saturday morning, and in result, all four teens were helping out while Luke and Caesar cooked. The girls glared at the guys every time they came in their line of vision and the guys just sighed and tried to get through the rush. Anytime the guys tried to talk to them, the girls would slam around and ignore them.
Rory went into the storeroom and Jess followed her quietly. Paris looked on with wary eyes and a thin line on her lips.
Jess walked into the storeroom and locked the door.
Without turning around, "What do you want Jess?"
"I want to know why my girlfriend that I love with everything I have is so mad about me talking about my sex life with my best friend. I'm sure you talked to Lorelai, Paris, and Lane about it, Rory. I tell one person and you're out to lynch me? How is that fair?"
"I didn't talk about it like that. I told them it happened and that it was right and special. When they asked me if you were good, I blushed and said a quiet yes. You acted like I was a nice piece of steak," Rory wrapped her arms around her stomach and felt tears welling in her eyes.
Jess walked up to her and took her face in his hands, "I never wanted to make you feel that way baby," she sniffled and looked away, "It was just guy talk. It's how we talk about stuff like that. You girls talk daintily about sex while guys just talk," he leaned over to her ear, "It was all true by the way," he whispered and she shivered involuntarily.
"Stop," she whispered unconvincingly and swallowed hard.
"No," he replied and moved his hands slowly down her sides to the small of her back and pulled her towards him.
"Stop, stop doing this to me," she said half-heartedly.
He ignored her. He kissed her forehead, nose, chin, both cheeks and finally her lips; a soft, gentle, apologetic kiss, "I'm sorry," he whispered against her lips.
"I know," she said back and uncrossed her arms to put one at the base of his neck and the other around his waist.
They kissed each other slowly, sensually, memorizing each other's mouths, apologizing for stupid things. The kiss ended and they pulled apart agonizingly slow. Both of their eyes remained closed and their lips slightly parted.
"Fight over?" Jess asked as he opened his eyes.
Rory nodded as she also pried her eyes open, "Fight over."
They smiled at each other and left the storeroom.
Time for Tristan and Paris.
"Paris, please talk to me," Tristan pleaded as he followed her around the diner.
"No," Paris replied adamantly.
"I love you Paris, please don't be mad at me about this."
"Just stop Tristan, there's no point."
Tristan grabbed her wrist and whipped her around to face him. He pulled her flush against his body and in one fluid motion captured her lips in a ferocious kiss. It was fervent and vicious. Their teeth clanked together and their tongues tangled dangerously.
"Stop…you…can't…do…this," Paris said between kisses.
"Shh," Tristan replied and pulled on the small of her back.
Paris wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and lifted herself onto her tip-toes. Tristan slipped his hands under her shirt and rubbed the small of her back around to her stomach, a normal occurrence in their kissing. The diner stared at them in awe. Eventually, the kiss slowed down and they pulled apart for lack of air.
"We're so weak," Paris stated when she saw Rory over Tristan's shoulder.
"No, we're just in love," Rory replied and kissed Jess again.

Later; Crap Shack
"So, lemme get this straight," Lorelai started, "Rory overheard Jess and Tristan talking about their sex lives with each other and got crazy mad. Then she told Lane and Paris and they also got crazy mad. The boys were clueless until Rory was a tease and taunted him by whispering it in his ear then shoving him away. The boys realized they screwed up and then tried to fix it at the diner, which worked. Rory and Jess resolved logically and Paris and Tristan yelled then kissed each other in the middle of the diner. Do I have everything?"
"Uhh…yeah I think that's it," Rory stated and Paris and Lane nodded in agreement.
"Well, this just shows that I need to work and sleep a hell of a lot less. Look at everything I missed!" Lorelai cried, "My babies are growing up," she pouted.
"Aw, mom we'll always be your babies. We're always going to come back to you for advice or a place to stay," Rory reassured her mom.
"Or to borrow money," Paris quipped.
"Yeah, money I don't have," Lorelai responded.
"I have to go start my shift at Sophie's. I love you all, bye," Lane said as she got up and walked out the door.
"I love you girls," Lorelai whispered and pulled them to her in a hug.
"Love you, too," they responded and they sat there, basking in the changes that were taking place.

Evening; Diner
"Coffee," Lorelai said as she walked into the diner.
"Nope," Luke responded immediately.
"My babies are grown up. They're having sex and getting in substantial fights and they're in deep satisfying, life-long love," Lorelai whined.
"Decaf," Luke returned gruffly and poured coffee from the orange rimmed pot.
"Thank you Hunnie," Lorelai cooed and sipped her elixir of life.
"No problem."
Luke went back to cleaning tables, but suddenly looked over to Lorelai. He stood up straight and openly stared at her. No one else was at the diner, just Lorelai and Luke. He smiled a wide grin and walked over to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and kissed her neck softly.
"We're going to have a baby," he whispered.
Lorelai turned around in her seat and his arms, "Yes, we are. We've been through this before," she chuckled.
Luke leaned in and kissed her softly, "I love you."
"I love you, too."
He kissed her again and then pulled back and got down on one knee. He pulled something out of his pocket and looked up into Lorelai's surprised eyes.
"Fourteen years ago, you walked into my diner with a tiny little child annoying me for coffee. The moment I read that horoscope, which I still have in my wallet, I fell in love with you. Deep, satisfying, life-long love that I couldn't shake even if I wanted to. It took us years to get where we are and I couldn't be happier. You're going to have my baby and we're going to be a family. Our family will grow and no one will be able to break us. We already have 4 or 5 kids that are under our care who we have raised to be the amazing people they are today. I love you with my whole being and I would like you to give me the honor of being your husband," Luke said and opened the small, black velvet box to reveal a white-gold band with a big diamond in the middle and diamond clusters on either side, "It was my mother's."
"Luke I…I don't know what to say," Lorelai breathed.
Luke smiled at the surprise and shock written across her face, "Say yes."
Lorelai's face broke out into a gigantic grin, "Yes! Yes, of course! Oh my God! Luke, we're getting married!"
Luke stood up, put the ring on her finger, picked her up, and twirled her around while kissing her. They stumbled up the stairs for some quality time while the teens were still at the Crap Shack making up for their lost time during the fight.
