"Hello?"

"Hey Luke."

Luke almost dropped the coffee pot in surprise at the voice on the other line.

"Jess?"

"Who else? Why are you always surprised when I call you?"

Luke just shook his head at Jess's attempts to lift the awkwardness.

"Jess, weren't you supposed to call me when I'm not at work?"

"Oh yeah, Dani said something like that. Well, I'm busy later, so I decided to call you now."

"Dani?" Luke inquired. He assumed that this was the woman that he had talked to earlier.

"Yeah, Danielle. I think you talked to her yesterday. She's my girlfriend."

Luke heard something in Jess's voice that he hadn't heard in a long time. Could it possibly be happiness?

"Girlfriend? How long have you two been together? It must be at least a couple months if she is comfortable enough to answer your phone."

"Actually, it's been about a year. We're living together and everything."

"You're living together!" Luke exclaimed, "You're telling me this now?"

"Well, yeah. Sorry, but things have just been so busy lately. With publishing my book and planning the book tour. It's been crazy."

"Crazy or not, you still should have told me. I am you're uncle," he sighed, "So, tell me about the book tour."

"You know, it's just your average tour. We're going all over the country, coast to coast. The book has been selling out everywhere, so my editor says that it's going to be pretty huge."

Luke was silent for a minute, "Wow Jess. You really did it."

Jess replied, "Yeah, I guess I did. It feels good too."

The diner man smiled, "I'm proud of you."

"Thanks."

Luke waved to Caesar to indicate that he was to take over. He went into the storage room to escape the noise of the diner.

"Now, tell me more about...I think you said her name was Danielle. Is she coming on the tour with you?"

He heard Jess laugh on the other line, "You want to know about Dani? Well, let's see. She's beautiful. She is tall with long, wavy black hair and the most amazing green eyes."

Luke just listened to Jess talk about his girlfriend, glad that he actually seemed happy.

"Dani is an amazing photographer," he continued, "She just captures the beauty in everything she photographs. She even has her own studio called D Studios and it is really well-known throughout California. Seriously, she is like the go-to girl if anybody needs anything photographed. Weddings, birthdays, parties, anything."

"Danielle seems amazing. I'm glad you found her," said Luke, "So, is she coming on the book tour with you?"

"Oh, yeah. She's coming with me. It's going to be a whole five months, just the two of us."

"Doesn't she have her job and stuff?" asked Luke.

"That's what I said at first, but she really wanted to come with me. She has partners back at the studio that will take care of things and she'll fly back once a month to make sure that everything is running smoothly."

Luke nodded before realizing that his nephew couldn't see him, "Good for you guys. Where is your first stop?"

"Uh," Luke could hear him shuffling papers on the other end, "well, it started a week and a half ago and we started in Seattle. Then, we went to Portland, then San Francisco, and now we are back in Los Angeles."

"Oh!" Luke exclaimed, "You have been busy. Sorry for doubting you. What cities are next, though?"

"Well, next is San Diego and then we go to Las Vegas. I haven't really thought past then."

"Nice schedule. Hopefully you'll get to hit the beach in San Diego and the casino in Las Vegas. Lucky man."

"Some would say I'm lucky," he chuckled, "Oh! One of the stops is in Hartford, so maybe we'll come down to Stars Hollow and I'll introduce you to Dani."

"I'd love that. Make sure you call again, okay?"

"Okay, and next time I will call when you are not at work.'

Luke chucked, "Good. Bye Jess."

"Bye Uncle Luke."

Luke walked out from the storage room to see Taylor talking rapidly to Lorelai, who was sitting at the counter with an amused smile on her face.

"Lorelai, it is your job as his wife to convince him to participate in town activities."

"Well, gosh Taylor. I guess my womanly ways just aren't enough anymore to convince him."

Luke chose this moment to interrupt their conversation, "Taylor, I thought I told you to get out."

Taylor turned to face him, "Luke, I merely was trying to get you more involved with the town."

"I feed the entire town," he replied incredulous, "Isn't that enough?"

"Well-," Taylor started, but Luke continued talking.

"Out Taylor! Now!"

With that, Taylor marched out, mumbling something about "ungrateful townspeople".

Luke turned to Lorelai who was clutching her stomach because she was laughing so hard.

"Did you...see his...face?" she asked, still laughing.

He chuckled as well, at both Taylor and at Lorelai.

When she finally was able to control her laughter, she looked up at Luke.

"Who was on the phone?" she asked.

"Oh. It was...Jess."

Lorelai's eyes widened in surprise, "Jess? Well...you were on the phone for a long time. Was it a good conversation?"

Luke thought about it for a moment. The conversation they had was probably one of the best that they had ever had.

"You know, it was. His book tour is going well and he even has a girlfriend, Danielle."

"I guess nobody will be pushing him into any lakes anytime soon," she quipped.

Luke chuckled, "You've got that right."

Jess had just hung up with his uncle. He liked their conversation, having Luke be proud of him always lifted his spirits, even if he never showed it.

He heard the door to their apartment open and close and Danielle walked in.

"It is so good to be home. No matter how much I love the fancy hotels, I love being back in LA."

She walked over to Jess and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Hi," she whispered.

"Hi back."

He kissed her softly. She responded to the kiss with enthusiasm. They were in their own little world, just the two of them.

Dani broke off the kiss before it could go too far. She looked into his eyes, "I love you. You know that right?"

Jess smiled at her, "I love you too."

"Good," she kissed his nose, "Now, you have a book signing in an hour and you still have to get ready. Chop, chop."

"Okay, okay. I'm going," he turned back towards her, "You're so bossy."

"That's my job, babe. Now go!"

She practically pushed him to the door of their bedroom. While he was getting ready, Danielle was leaning on the door frame.

"Did you call him?" she asked.

He looked up at her, "Who?"

"You know who."

"Yeah I did. I got off the phone with him right before you got home."

She threw her hands up in the air, "And?"

"And...he's proud of me and he really wants to meet you," Jess smiled.

Danielle's eyes lit up with excitement, "He really wants to meet me? Like he really said that he wanted to?"

Jess walked over to her and grabbed her hands.

"Yep. I love you, so he's going to love you too.'

She sighed, "I hope so."

"I have to go. Are you coming or do you have to go to the studio?"

"I have to go check in with Jack and Amanda. To make sure that they haven't ruined my company with their bickering."

"Okay," he grabbed his wallet and phone. He turned to her and kissed her on the lips, "Love you."

She smiled, "Love you too."

Dani watched as he walked out the door. She loved him more than anything. When they first started dating, she was cautious, but the more that they both let down their defenses, the more she fell in love. He was pretty tight-lipped about his past and his family, but she was excited that she would finally get to meet the infamous Uncle Luke. She realized that she was happy.

'I've got to go pack for San Diego!' she thought while grinning like crazy.

Hope you liked it! Sorry if the characters seem a little out of character. Whatever is written just comes from how I see it in my mind. Also, I know I kind of made Jess happy, but I felt he kind of deserved it- at least in the beginning of the story. Danielle is my original character and I'm still deciding whether or not to create another one. I personally love Danielle (I am a little biased), so just prepare for her to be nice.

Please review! It would mean an awful lot to me. Tell you what, I get 7 reviews and I'll update as soon as possibly can. By the way, I LOVE long reviews. Just saying...

Last chapter's question: What is your favorite Lorelai/Rory moment?

My favorite is the beginning of the third season when Rory comes home from Washington D.C. The two of them run to each other and then they fall down, while laughing. Then, Lorelai starts saying, "Oh, but I got here early and there was nothing to do except feed gummy bears to the bomb-sniffing dogs, which, apparently, the United States government frowns upon." Yep. Love that scene.
