Ok here is another chapter. It's not as long as the others, but it's just a filler for now. The next chapter will be the epilogue. So this story will be wrapped up. I may have a sequel, but that depends on what you think. Let me know!
You Can't Separate True Love
Chapter 21
"What?!" Luke urgently asked, rushing over to Lorelai.
"She looks just like Rory did when she was a baby!" Lorelai cooed, tears forming in her eyes.
"Don't scare me like that." Luke feigned anger, but smiled and kissed Lorelai on the cheek.
"Really?" Jess asked, "I haven't really seen any baby pictures of Rory."
"Yes! Oh wow! This is so weird." Lorelai placed a hand on her chest, and looked at Rory.
Luke walked over to Rory and looked at baby Jess. "Well, baby Jess here looks just like his dad when he was a baby. I mean spitting image exact."
"How would you know uncle Luke?" Jess rolled his eyes.
"Well nephew, I was there when you were born, and I did hold you. So I would know." Luke smugly replied. Jess blushed and looked down at his baby girl.
"Aww, I want to see Jess' baby pictures." Rory giggled as baby Jess suckled on her finger.
"Can I hold her?" Lorelai asked Jess timidly. Jess, reluctant but willing, gave her Lizzie.
"Oh, she's so precious!"
"She's beautiful." Jess smirked, looking at Rory. "Just like her mom."
"Ok, who are you and what have you done with Jess Mariano?" Rory playfully asked, teasing Jess because of his sensitivity.
Jess smiled and moved closer to Rory, watching baby Jess coo and make small noises.
"How are we going to know if you're talking about me or him?" Jess asked.
"Hmmm, well we could always call you Jessie." Lorelai suggested, winking.
Luke let out a quiet laugh and nudged Jess. "Jessie. That's great."
"No way! I'm not going to be called Jessie, neither is my son."
"Oh come on, it's cute." Rory teased.
"Nope. You can always call him jr. and I will just be Jess."
"Jess Jr.? But he isn't a jr. You're middle name isn't Lucas. Is it?" Rory asked.
"I'm not telling you."
"Please." Lorelai begged.
"Shh, the kids need their rest, so does Rory." Jess shushed Lorelai.
"Ok, well we'll leave you two happy parents alone. Luke and I will find those baby pictures of you Jessie." Lorelai mocked and giggled, walking out with Luke.
"Bye guys."
"Bye mom! Luke! Love you!" Rory called after them.

Three days later Rory and Jess were back home with the twins. It was a big day in the Danes-Mariano-Gilmore house. (Gilmore is added because hey, what's Gilmore Girls without Gilmore.)
"Wait! Don't take them up yet! Let me go up first and then I'll call you." Lorelai ran up the stairs, leaving a confused Jess and Rory downstairs with Luke.
"Don't ask me." Luke shrugged.
"Your mom is crazy. You know that?" Jess whispered to Rory.
"Sorry." Rory apologized as baby Jess began to cry.
"Why's it doing that?" Luke asked nervously.
"Maybe he's hungry. Gosh Uncle Luke, you really don't know anything do you?" Jess chuckled.
"Sorry, but I never had to take care of a baby. I've had the privilege of dealing with older kids." Luke defended.
"Aww, poor Luke. You want to hold Lizzie?" Rory asked.
"Umm, well I don't know. I uh, yeah sure, why not?" Luke mumbled.
"Ok, and I know you know how to hold a baby. You're the one that said you were there when Jess was born, so I assume that you held him."
Jess smirked and watched as Luke gracefully held baby Lizzie.
"Huh. What do you know, he can hold a baby."
"Don't start." Luke glared.
"Shh." Rory frowned and picked up baby Jess. "What's wrong sweetie?" Rory sweetly cooed rocking baby Jess.
Jess was watching Luke hold Lizzie when they finally heard Lorelai shout.
"Come on up now! I'm ready for you guys!"
"Let's go see what she's up to." Jess sighed. "You got her Uncle Luke?"
"Yes. Calm down there. Don't go all protective on me now." Luke rolled his eyes.
They all entered the apartment when a bright flash went of. "Smile!" Lorelai grinned.
"Jeez!" Luke and Jess said simultaneously.
"Are you trying to injure the entire family here?" Jess snapped.
"No. I wanted to get the family when they entered the house for the first time."
"Shh!" Rory quieted the bickering people. "We have little babies trying to sleep here."
"Ok ok, sorry." Lorelai apologized and watched Jess and Rory interact with their babies. Jess walked over to Luke and carefully took Lizzie from him. Luke smiled and walked over to Lorelai and wrapped his arms around her.
"They're going to do good." Luke whispered.
"Yes. And they do have awesome people to help them." Lorelai winked.
"We should let them have their time alone."
"Ok. Hey kids, we're going to leave now. But if you need anything at all, just call us." Lorelai smiled and walked out with Luke.
"So I guess we should feed them and then…" Rory wiggled her eyebrows.
"Ah yes!" Jess smirked and they fed the babies, burped them, and put them to bed.
"Ready?" Jess winked.
"Of course!" Rory smiled. "Race ya!"
"Ok, go!" Jess ran to their bedroom, but Rory jumped on his back, causing him to stumble, but he quickly recovered.
"Hurry!" Rory giggled.
Jess tumbled on the bed with Rory and she laughed, kissed him and closed her eyes.
"Ah. I missed you bed. It feels so good to close my eyes." Rory sighed contently.
"Oh yeah." Jess mumbled. Within minutes they were both asleep. The first few days of parenthood already getting to them.
