A/N I know this has taken forever, and the chapter started to get away from me, so I decided to split it and post the first part now. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 2: A Very Stars Hollow Thanksgiving part 1

Rory took the earliest bus out of Boston on Wednesday morning, arriving in Stars Hollow just in time for an early lunch. Knowing that the inn would be busy today he made her way to Luke's.

"Rory," Luke greeted her happily when he came out of the kitchen carrying, where he noticed her perched on a stool. Lane was already pouring her coffee.

"Hey, Luke. I am so looking forward to tomorrow. I hope you have enough food," she added with a giggle as her pancakes and fries were placed in front of her.

A few hours later she was changing the laundry over to the dryer, The Clash blaring from her room, when she heard a knock on the door. She ran into her room to turn down the music before rushing to answer it.

"Why'd you turn it off?" Jess asked with his trademark smirk.

She pulled him into the house and her arms, "I didn't know you were coming today," she said between kisses.

"Didn't know if I would make it and I didn't want to get your hopes up just to let you down." He left the words more than I already have unspoken. They made their way back to Rory's room , Jess turned the music back up before turning back around and looking at Rory. She was wearing an oversized Harvard hoodie and grey sweats. He smiled before pulling her back into his arms, how she could look so sexy dressed like that, he would never know.

She steered them back out into the living room and onto the couch where they could talk. They had spent most of the last month calling or texting nearly everyday. While Jess had never been a fan of cellphones and texting and the self importance that came with feeling like you were always going to miss a call, he was happy he had given in before his reconciliation with Rory. Realizing that they didn't have as much to catch up on as each of them did with others in the city, they got caught up on the physical part they both craved.

Before long her had removed her hoodie, revealing a thin cami, he could see the outline of her hardened nipples through it. He lightly brushed his thumb over one as he moved his attention to her clavicle. She snaked her hands up his sides, taking his shirt along with them. As she pulled the t-shirt over his head, their moughs were forced apart, his came back down on her chest, lightly biting one a nipple through her shirt, causing her to let out a gasping moan. Her hands immediately began tugging at his belt. As she fumbled with the buckle he slid off her cami as well, she was completly toppless in front of him and he stopped to revel in her beauty. She had finally gotten the belt undone and moved to unbutton his jeans when he stopped her. She looked at him her blue eyes ablaze with lust. He scoped her up and carried her from the couch to her room, softly laying her on the bed. He let his jeans fall to the floor, before crawling on the bed and hovering over her. She watched him lustfully noticing his taut olive skin as his muscles flexed while he crawled up the bed, dropping kisses along her torso as he made his way up. When he arrived back at her mouth, he kissed her passionately, "Jess," Rory breathed out, when he pulled away, reversing his earlier path slowly sliding her underpants down as he did.

They were jolted from their coupling by a loud banging and a crash coming from the living room. Jess jumped off her in a panic and grabbed his jeans as Rory scrambled for something to cover herself. "Shit," Jess mumbled as he realized his shirt was still in the living room. Rory had thrown on an oversized t-shirt and gym shorts before running out to the couch just as her mother picked up the mens shirt that had been discarded.

The two made eye contact and Lorelai uttered, "taken to cross dressing recently," much louder than necessary, "cuz I gotta tell ya Babe, I don't think it's the right look for you." The door to Rory's room opened and an annoyed looking Jess came stalking out. Lorelai almost fell over when she saw who her daughter had just been with. Her eyes went to Rory and her mouth opened though no words came out. Jess sat down and quickly put on his shoes before grabbing the short form Lorelais outstretched finger.

"I'll call you in a little bit," he said pulling the shirt over his head and grabbing his coat on the way out.

"Jess?" Lorelai questioned. Rory said nothing, knowing that her mother wasn't really asking a question, not yet anyway. "How...what...why…?" Lorelai had to stop and take a breath before she could complete her thought. "When did you two start speaking again, and the answer better not be today."

"He came to see me a few weeks ago." Lorelai just continued to look at her daughter, needing more of an explanation. "He wrote a book and wanted to give me one of the first copies."

"He wrote a book?" Lorelai wondered why Luke didn't know this information yet, or if he did and was just keeping it from her.

"Yeah, just got it published, he wanted to give me a copy and thank me for inspiring him."

"So you just jumped into bed with him after everything?"

"NO," Rory was becoming very irritated with her mom. "We've been talking almost everyday since then. He's changed a lot Mom; grown up."

"I just didn't realize that he was back in your life, or that he would be."

"I didn't know he would ever be back in my life either, but I'm glad he is."

Lorelai flopped onto the couch, patting the cushion next to her for Rory. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well, I was under the impression that you may not react well to the news; clearly I was mistaken." She smirked.

"Okay, so I took an admittedly uncool stance, but I am no longer channeling my mother. I just didn't expect to walk in and find you and Jess, or anyone really, having sex."

"We weren't having sex," Rory's face turned bright red. "We were headed in a decidedly sexual direction, but there was no sex."

"I just," Lorelai searched for the right words, "he hurt you so bad last time. I don't want that to ever happen again." Lorelai knew, much as she hated to admit it, that her daughter was an adult and had to be allowed to make her own decisions, no matter how disastrous they may be.

"I've grown up a lot too, Mom." Rory said seemingly to draw the subject to a close as she got up and headed back to her room.

…...

"I knew I'd find you here." Rory's voice beside him made Jess look up from his book. She sat down next to him on the old wooden planks, and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Sorry, about earlier."

Jess shrugged and wound his arm around her, "it is what it is."

"You're not mad, are you?"

"At you?" He questioned, "no, not even really at Lorelai. More, frustrated really." Rory giggled at his double meaning.

"We'll have to find some time before I head back to school.

"And someplace where your Mom doesn't have a key?"
