A/N I'm sorry but for those of you who have "caught" me I have made a mistake in this story Paris and Marty actually would have graduated, since it was said that Rory was off for a year. I'm sorry about the flaw, but since they have appeared in the story. They will remain character unless anyone has major objections. Review about the chapter!
The next morning, Rory went to her mom's house to hang out, because Dean had some stuff he had to finish up for work. "Hey mom!" She said as she walked in.
Luke was at the diner so it was just the two of them. "Someone had a good time last night." Lorelai said.
Rory just smiled. "So how's the wedding going." She asked changing the subject.
"Good." She paused. "A lot of work."
" Well there may be another one, in the not to distant future."
"You're engaged?" Lorelai said, not excited but frankly a little terrified.
"No. But we talked about it, and if we were would that really be so horrible?" Rory questioned.
"No, hon. I'm sorry. I feel like you're so young but I mean I guess you're 23. It's nothing about Dean. He is great, and he really takes care of you. I guess at first I thought you were moving way too fast, but I guess really you've known him, 7 years. It's just I never thought of you married. I never realized you were… old."
"Thanks, Mom." Rory laughed.
"But, after college, right?" Lorelai hoped.
"Of course. Don't worry about this. You have enough to worry about, we said maybe we will, one day."
"Okay." Lorelai said much calmer now.
"Anything that I can do to help with the wedding?" Rory offered.
"We can stuff envelopes with invitations…"
"Fun, fun!" Rory replied sarcastically.
After lunch and a few hours of stuffing envelopes later Rory went back to Yale. She enjoyed her fun weekend, but as soon as she got back she hit the books again. It was surprisingly quiet, Paris was not there, and Rory had no clue where she was, but Rory was thrilled at the silence (besides her blasting music of course!). The week of midterms was tough. She didn't spend much time on the phone with Dean or Lorelai, but it was all worth it in the end. When she finished up that week, she had a good feeling about how they went. She spent that weekend on campus, hanging out with Paris (who was feeling much better) and Marty. She spent Monday packing, to go home to Stars Hollow. She was ready for an ordinary holiday season, but there were a few surprises in store.
