I woke up in the morning to see Sophie gone a note next to me on my pillow. I sat up and read the note.
Rory,
I didn't want to wake you so I took Sophie to get some breakfast with me. There is a surprise for you in the kitchen. I love you.
-Mom
Rory was stunned. It was nine in the morning and her mom got up before she did? Rory wasn't one to look a gifted horse in the mouth so she got dressed and walked into the house. She walked in to find Jess sitting at the kitchen table. This must be the surprise.
"Jess?"
He looked up and smiled.
"Actually call me Henry."
"Alright Henry what are you doing here?"
"Well I thought about what you said about waiting for the morning so that is what I did. I stayed in our room, Carly, and then I came to get you. So shall we go?"
Rory thought about it for a moment.
"We shall just let me write a note first."
She scribbled a note to her mom and then followed Jess out to her car.
"Should I drive?"
"You could. Or we could use my driver." Jess pointed to a car at the end of the driveway. "I thought it would be more romantic that way but if you want…"
Rory cut him off.
"Your driver is fine with me."
She grabbed his hand and pulled him to the car. Once in the car Jess leaned over and started to kiss her neck.
"Jess…"
"It's Henry."
"Okay Henry, what about Melissa?"
Jess pulled away from her and looked into her eyes.
"What about her?"
"Are you two…an item?"
"No. And lets leave it at that."
"Okay."
Jess started to kiss her again and this time Rory did the same. By the time they pulled into the hotel they were ready for the bed. They stopped kissing and got out of the car quickly and onto the elevator. It was a matter of seconds after entering the room that they were undressed and in bed.
When they were finished Rory got up and took a shower while Jess laid in bed reading. Rory took a quick shower so that she could return to Jess promptly. She got out of the shower and wrapped herself in the towel and joined Jess on the bed.
"So." Jess put down his book and pulled Rory close to him. "Same time tomorrow?" Jess asked kissing her neck again.
"Well as much as I would like that I have a different idea."
"Really?" Jess sounded intrigued. "What is it?"
"Well I was thinking that you could spend the day with Sophie and I tomorrow. We can go to the park or something. How would you like that?"
Jess thought for a moment.
"I would love to hang out with you and Sophie. I will be at the house at lets say eleven."
"I will be waiting until then. Are you coming back with me?"
Jess shook his head.
"Until I know Melissa is gone I think it would be better if I stayed here."
"Okay. Tomorrow then?"
"Yes tomorrow. Goodbye Miss Carly."
"Goodbye Mr. Henry." Rory changed back into her clothes and then went into the lobby to wait for the car. It only took a few minutes before she was back on the road home. She arrived there at six. Her mom was playing with Ryan and Sophie on the lawn while April talked to Luke. She parked the car and ran up to her daughter.
"MOMMY!" Sophie ran to her and jumped into her arms. "I misseded you a lot."
Rory kissed Sophie on the forehead.
"I misseded you too!" Rory made fun of the way Sophie said missed. Sophie didn't care though she just laughed with excitement.
"Mommy guess what grandma and I did today!"
"What did you do?" Rory put Sophie on the ground and squatted next to her daughter.
"Well after we got back from breakfast we went to town and Miss Patty let me go to a dance class."
"Oh no." Rory remembered her dance classes with Miss Patty. They never ended well.
"Actually she is a lot better than you were." Her mom added.
"Yeah she said I was a natural. Then grandma and I walked all over town and Ryan came too…"
"He did?"
"Yep! And April took me to the park when we came home. After that we had lunch with grandpa at Al's pancake world. Oh and can we see a movie tonight? Grandma said that Pippy Long stocking is playing. It's my favorite…"
"Pippy?" I asked my mom.
"Pippy!"
"Yay Pippy."
"Does that mean we can go?"
"Yes of course we can!"
"Yay!" Sophie ran around in a small circle.
"How long has it been since we have seen that movie?"
"Too long."
"I agree."
"Pippy!" Sophie stopped running in circles and ran to Luke. "Did you hear that grandpa she said yes!"
"Rory you were my only hope of getting out of this."
"Well you know how I feel about that movie. Maybe if it was a different movie but we Gilmore girls love our Pippy."
"I know and the sad part is Ryan loves it too."
"That I do dad." Ryan ran over to him and grabbed Sophie. "Are you going April?"
"Well I have never seen Pippy before…"
My mom and I gasped.
"Did you hear that Rory?" She teased.
"Yes I did."
"We got ourselves a Pippy virgin…"
"Not this again."
"Not what dad?"
"Well it is decided April is going so we are all going. We are going to have a family Pippy night!"
Sophie got really excited.
"Yay!"
"So Luke and I will go buy the candy and cookie dough and other snacks while you get the kids ready."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Alright now no one eat dinner because we are going to spoil your appitiete with all of the crap we are going to get. Lets go Luke." She held out her hand for him to follow her. He sighed and then followed.
"Fine but next time I get to pick the movie…"
"Like that is ever going to happen." Lorelai scoffed.
"One can hope."
"More like dream." Rory teased.
"We will be back soon so be ready."
"Okay you heard her everyone inside to get changed into pajamas to go to the movies now march."
Ryan and Sophie ran inside to change. April waited for Rory to catch up.
"Do I have to change into my pajama's?"
"No Ryan and Sophie change into their pajamas so that when we get back they can go straight to bed. It's something my mom and I started way back when it was just Ryan. It makes it easier on us."
"I bet. So Pippy?"
"No I am not going to tell you anything you are just going to have to wait and see for yourself."
Rory picked Sophie up and then rushed into the garage to change her into her pajamas. April waited for Ryan to be done in the house.
"I want to wear the princess ones." Sophie pointed to the pajamas that were on the floor.
"These?" Rory held them up and she nodded. "Okay then arms up." Rory changed Sophie quickly and then carried her back into the house. She saw Ryan and April sitting at the table and she put Sophie down.
"She is all ready all we are waiting for is…"
"Us?" Lorelai and Luke walked through the door.
"That was quick."
"Well someone heard it was Pippy night and put all of our stuff together and it was waiting to be picked up."
"How nice."
"I know! Now let's move it troops the movie starts soon and we want to get good seats."
Everyone filed out of the house and ran into town to catch the beginning of the movie. It was a great way to end the night and Rory barley though about what tomorrow held for her and Sophie.
