A.N: Hey guys! So I decided to continue this! I'm going back to school on Monday, so I might not be able to update as much as I'd like or as fast as this one was. I'll try my best! Also, I wanted to ask if anyone had any ideas! You'll get credit of course, but I need a little help to figure out where I wanna take the story. Thanks for the reviews, and keep them coming!!

A few months later...
Rory Gilmore was living the good life. She wasn't traveling the world and looking for adventure, but for now she was certainly content. Sitting on an oversized ottoman with a carton of Ben and Jerry's was a far reach from being Christiane Amanpor, and her job at the Philadelphia Inquirer might not win her a Pulitzer Prize just yet.
Coming home to find her coffee-color-eyed boyfriend snoring on the couch after a day of writing his newest novel, leaving her a plate of food on the table with a note saying 'Enjoy this, I'll probably be sleeping when you get home and if you wake me up you die,' makes it all worth while.
She chuckled to herself and looked over at Jess, still laying on the couch but very much awake.
"What?" He stretched his arms out above him, groaning.
"Nothing, you're funny." He smirked.
"Whatever, remind me never to sleep on the couch again. It feels like a 300 pound man and his 300 pound brother just sat on my back."
"What are their names?" Rory asked, licking ice cream off her spoon.
"Who's names?"
"The man and his brother! Guys of that size got to have names!"
"You're an odd one do you know that?" Jess got up from the couch and kissed her on the cheek.
"I got it from my mama." Rory smiled with her chin up. Jess walked to the kitchen shaking his head.
Soon after Rory came to see Jess four months ago, she decided to put down roots in Philly. Quitting her job on the campaign, she knew this was her last chance to really be with Jess. Both of them needed to make sure what they had was real.
Rory quickly received a job as a staff writer for the Inquirer and they moved into a new apartment together, a few minutes from both Truncheon and the newspaper office. The place was small, and it seemed their books took up more room then the rest of their things, but it was perfect.
Rory followed Jess into the kitchen, depositing the ice cream back in the freezer and the spoon in the sink. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and kissed her neck.
"So, I was thinking we could rent a movie tonight and order Chinese." Jess said into her skin.
"Mmm sounds good to me. But, I get to pick the movie." Rory turned in his arms and bopped him on the nose with her finger.
"Fine, but no Willy Wonka."
"I was thinking more along the lines of Dirty Dancing actually." She replied persuasively. "Sound good?"
"Perfect. I'll order." He kissed her slowly on the lips before reaching in the take-out drawer for the menu.
When they kick out your front door, how you gonna come? With your hands on your head, or on the trigger of your gun
Rory scurried to the living room at the sound of her cell phone ringing. She saw the LCD screen flash 'Pretty Mama' and smiled. Rory told herself never to let her mom touch her phone again, the last time she got ahold of it she changed Jess' name to 'Hoodlum Boyfriend,' and Luke's to 'Hunky Diner Man.'
"Hey mom, what's up?"
"Hey offspring! Nothing much, just wanted to check up. How are things with diner boy?"
"Great, things are great. Don't you think the nickname should be upgraded considering he doesn't even work in a diner anymore? Bookstore boy?"
"Naw, it's too long. Diner boy is so much easier to say, it flows."
"True. How's Luke?"
"Oh my God, he did the funniest thing today." Rory heard the faint voice of Luke in the background saying "It wasn't funny Lorelai!"
"Shut up Lukey-bear it was hilarious! Anyway, so I went to the diner this morning for coffee, duh, and Luke was refilling the ketchup bottles."
"Because that's what diner men do, go on."
"Of course, so I guess I caught him off guard because when I snuck up behind him and whispered 'Luke, give me some coffee or I'll have to do something dirty in public' into his ear all sexy-like, he jumped five feet in the air and got ketchup all over his face and flannel!"
"Wow! Nice job mom." Rory laughed.
"I know it was so funny! He had to go upstairs and change and everything! I felt bad afterwards, but oh man it was worth it." She heard Luke groan in the background. "Still not funny."
"Alright hon, Luke's getting antsy. When are you going to visit mama? I miss my ultimate bestie."
"Soon! I miss you too! Maybe next weekend I'll try to take a day of two off work and Jess and I will drive up!" Rory gave Jess a pleading look, he sighed and nodded. Rory clapped silently with much enthusiasm.
"You better! Tell your hoodlum boyfriend to stopped hogging you all for himself! I'll call you tomorrow."
"Bye mom!" Rory closed her phone and put it back on the coffee table. She skipped back over to Jess and kissed him loudly.
"You've got wings baby! Put Saint in front of your name and stick a halo on your head!"
"Yeah, yeah. As much as I abhor that town, it'll be nice to see Luke. I should stop by and see Liz too, she's been pestering me." Jess hugged her back and spoke into her hair.
"You don't hate it that much do you?" Rory pouted. "I mean, we did meet there and have our first kiss there and-"
"I don't need the list! Maybe I don't hate it, just strongly dislike it. Besides, every time we go back Miss Patty finds it funny to fondle me."
"Not funny, just pleasing." She raised her eyebrows suggestively.
"I'm going to go throw up now." Jess pointed towards the bathroom with his thumb.
"You know you love it. I'm going to go change into PJ's, be right back." Rory skipped away down the small hallway, Jess smiled and rolled his eyes.
"You're still crazy!"
"Love ya!"

Jess watched as the credits rolled on the TV screen, Rory asleep on top of him on the couch. He grabbed the remote and turned the movie off, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her head. Right now, right here, is perfection to Jess. He could never ask for anything more than this, Rory is his everything. Finding her in the rain waiting outside his door was the worst and best day of his life. She was the reason why he got himself together, the reason he told himself every day he would make it. For her.
Jess plans on waking up to her face everyday for the rest of his life, and hopefully she'll want to wake up with him also.
"I love you." Rory smiled slyly.
"Love you too, Jessie." Jess looked down and smirked.
"I told you not to call me that."
"You tell me a lot of things, Jessie."
"Sometimes I think you are your mother."
"She did say once that I was her doppelganger. We do have the same name."
"I wouldn't be surprised. Go to sleep Ror."
"O.K. Night, Jessie!" Rory kissed him quickly and snuggled into his chest, her legs nestled between his.
"Night babe."
"Did you just call me babe?" Rory put her head up again to look at him.
"Sleep remember?" He pushed her head back down.
"Ha, babe. Night honey bunch." Jess rolled his eyes and closed them.
