Sorry that it took me so long to update! Life is crazy... So, I didn't get 7 reviews, only 5. It's okay though...I know not a lot of people have time to. I want to thank Avivush and Tott for their long reviews...it means so much to me!

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls or anything affiliated with the show. If I did I would obviously not be writing this story...

"Hey kid."

"Hi mom. I need a favor."

"A favor? From me? Well, I don't know Rory. I've done an awful lot for you over the years. I mean, your bill for me raising you still hasn't been paid off, so I'm not sure if the higher powers would advise me to do you a favor."

"What if I told you that the favor involved your wonderful grandkids?" asked Rory.

"Well then I'd say screw the higher powers. What's up mini-me?"

"Logan and I are actually going to take a vacation and we need you to watch Ellie and Bradin."

Rory could picture her mom bouncing off the walls in excitement.

Lorelai's voice came through the phone eagerly, "Really, really, really? You're trusting little ol' me to watch your precious kids?"

Rory laughed, "As long as you don't give them too much junk food and keep them away from Al's Pancake World, then we're good."

"Since when has there been such a thing as too much junk food?" Lorelai cried, "Sweets, you've gone to the dark side."

"Whatever you say mom," Rory looked at her watch, "Crap! Sorry mom I have to go. I've got a meeting with my editor that I'm going to be late for unless I leave right now."

"No! Don't leave. I'm bored and I need someone to talk to. Everybody is at work..."

"Uh, mom? Why don't you have work?"

"Considering that I'm my own boss, I gave myself the day off. Hey, where are my grandkids?"

"At Stephanie's. Now, I really have to go. Bye mom."

"Wait-," Lorelai started, but Rory had already hung up.

Lorelai sighed and looked around the room. Realizing that she had nothing to do, she grabbed her purse, "I guess I should just go to work."

Rory was freaking out. She was having a full-blown, major freak out. It had been three days since she had called her mom to ask her to take the kids for the week. Now, it was the day that they were supposed to leave and she felt as if nothing was ready to go.

Rory and Logan had never left Ellie and Bradin alone with anyone else for an extended period of time. A few days here and there, sleepovers, visits to Stars Hollow, but they never left them alone for a week.

Rory heard Logan walk up behind her.

"All the kids' stuff is packed in the car and our suitcases are on the front porch for Colin and Stephanie to pick up on their way to the airport."

"We're missing something. What are we missing?" she turned to Logan, "Where are the kids?"

"In the car, buckled up and ready to go," he assured her.

Rory looked around the house one last time, "Maybe we shouldn't leave them. I mean, we can go another time, like when they're older."

He reached down and intertwined their hands, "Hey, everything is going to be fine. They are with Lorelai. Hun, they'll be fine."

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"I'm ready," she brought down his face so that is was level with hers.

"I love you," she said before kissing him sweetly on the lips.

"Love you too," he replied, "We have to go now so that we don't hit traffic on the way down there."

They walked out of their house, hands intertwined.

Rory got into the passenger seat and turned to face her kids.

"Ready to go see Nana?" she asked.

"Yay! I can't wait to see her mommy!" exclaimed Ellie.

While her brother just said, "Yay! Nana!"

The drive to the Hollow was comfortable and by the time they arrived, both kids were fast asleep.

Lorelai had been waiting all morning for Rory to arrive. She woke up, had several cups of coffee, and then started few different tasks, all of which were abandoned.

Luke had already left for work and now she was trying to stay busy. It wasn't that she was nervous about watching her grandkids, she had done it plenty of times before, but they had never stayed with her for a week without Rory and Logan present.

The sound of a car pulling into the driveway broke her out of her reverie. Her heart was beating so fast that she thought it would jump out of her chest.

'Get a grip,' Lorelai thought.

She walked out to the front porch and folded her arms over her chest. She watched as Rory and Logan extracted both their kids from their car seats. At the sight of her grand children's sleeping forms, everything came flooding back to her. Everything that she had ever learned about raising kids, she learned from first-hand experience.

Lorelai visibly relaxed upon remembering that she had already done this once before and this would be a piece of cake. She walked down to their car to help them with their bags.

"Hello beautiful daughter of mine!" Lorelai chirped.

"Hey mom. Thanks again for doing this."

She scoffed, "Why are you thanking me? I love being with my baby's babies!"

At the sound of Lorelai's voice, Ellie slowly started waking up.

"Nana?" the little girl asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Hi baby girl! Did you have a nice nap?"

"Uh huh," she mumbled. She had woken up fully and how she was looking around. Her eyes widened when she realized that they had gotten to their destination.

"Mama, we're here!" she wiggled out of Rory's arms and took off towards the house.

Rory sighed, "Kids and their never-ending supply of energy."

Lorelai just smiled, "So, where is your husband?"

Rory looked around, "Huh...where did he disappear to?"

The two girls turned at the sound coming from the front porch. Logan had come out of the house empty-handed.

"The bags are inside and Bradin is fast asleep in his crib," Logan said.

"A gentleman as always," Lorelai mused.

Rory hesitated, "I guess that means we have to go if we are going to make the plane."

Logan retreated back into the house to say goodbye to Ellie, while the mother and daughter duo had their moment.

"Oh no, there is no 'guessing'. You are going to Vegas and you are going to have a great time. Let loose and act like a kid again," Lorelai pulled her daughter into a hug, "Don't worry about your kids, alright? They are going to be fine and I promise no more than two wild and crazy parties."

Rory giggled, "As long as it's no more than two."

Her husband came out of the house with Ellie on his back.

"Mama!" she exclaimed.

Logan transferred her from his back into Rory's arms.

Her tiny arms snaked around her mom's neck.

"Sweetie, be good for Nana. Don't eat too many sweets and watch over your brother, okay?"

"Okay mommy."

Rory kissed the little girl's cheek and held on to her tight," I love you baby."

"I love you too mommy."

Ellie was set down again and she raced over to Logan to give him one last goodbye.

"I love you daddy."

Logan laughed, "I love you too, princess. Are you going to be on your best behavior?"

"Yes, I promise."

He ruffled her curls, "I'll see you soon."

Lorelai watched the interaction between the two and then walked over to them.

"Bye Logan," she gave him a hug and whispered in his ear, "Make sure Rory lets loose for at least one night one night."

"Will do. Bye Lorelai."

Lorelai picked up Ellie, "You two better get on the road. We'll make sure to say goodbye to Bradin for you guys when he wakes up."

"Love you guys!" Rory called out.

They got in the car and within a few seconds, they were gone.

Lorelai turned to her granddaughter in her arms, "So, want to have a party?"

Rory and Logan made the quick drive to Hartford, where their friends were waiting at the Hartford Airport. They would have flown out from New York, considering they all lived there, but both the Huntzbergers and the McCreas had kids to drop off in or near Hartford area.

They pulled into the long-term parking structure and then the couple made their way to the private airstrip. Stephanie and Colin were already on the plane; Steph was reading a magazine, while Colin was talking with the pilot.

"Rory!" she exclaimed. She jumped up and engulfed her in a hug

"Why are you so excited to see me? We had lunch yesterday!"

"This is the start of an excellent adventure, my friend. I have the right to be excited!"

Rory just laughed, "Where's Finn? I thought that he would be the first one here."

"He called a few minutes ago and said that he was almost here."

All of a sudden, the two girls heard Finn call out, "Loves, I have arrived!"

Rory stepped out of the plane to see Finn handing his luggage to the attending. She also realized that he wasn't alone. Standing next to him was a gorgeous woman; she had long, fiery red hair that flowed past her shoulders. The woman was tall with hazel eyes and a kind face.

"Rory, love! I'd like to introduce you to Shannon, my girlfriend."

"Hi Shannon," Rory smiled, but she was still in shock. She never thought that Finn, the drunken Australian, would ever settle down with someone.

"Hi Rory," she replied.

"Rory here is my best mate's wife. Still, she is one of my best friends as well," he explained.

"Well," started Rory, "we have to get on the plane. It's supposed to leave in the next ten minutes."

"Okay," whispered Shannon. She offered a small smile to Rory, which she returned, before stepping onto the plane.

Rory turned to Finn, "I like her. She's nice."

He looked worried for a second, "You don't mind that I brought her, right? I thought that this was the perfect opportunity to meet everyone."

She smiled, "The more the merrier."

From inside the plane, the two of them could hear Stephanie distinct screech of, "Girlfriend?!"

They both laughed , then they got onto the plane themselves, ready for the upcoming week.

Hope you liked it! Rory and Jess will hopefully cross paths soon. Either in the next chapter or the one after that. Please review! That lets me know that you guys are still reading and liking this story. I have an idea of where it is going, but it is just not on paper yet.

Updates are going to be slow. Midterms are coming up and I have about 6 projects due in the upcoming weeks. Although, in three weeks I'm off for Christmas vacation which is roughly a month. So bear with me!

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

That's hard...probably in the beginning of the fourth season when they are arguing over Rory's mattress. Lorelai tries to confuse Luke into taking it. I find it hilarious every time I watch it!

Question: What's your favorite song?
