A/N- Sorry, I know I said I would post this a few days ago but I got really busy and I just didn't have time to write it.

Rory's POV

"Sniveling little chicken, scared of a swan!" I mumbled just loud enough for Jess to hear.

He stopped behind and leaned over near my ear. "What did you say?"

"Your black eye, a swan attacked you." I told him smiling sweetly.

"Luke!"

"What?" Luke questioned as he walked in the door.

Jess grabbed his arm and dragged him in the storage room. A few minutes later they came back, Luke was laughing and Jess was scowling. Mom looked at me questioningly and I just shrugged. Mom's cell phone rang and she picked it up frowning.

"Hello?...What Michel?...What!...Can't you handle it?...Fine…okay…I'll be there as fast as I can." She hung up and looked at me. "Apparently Michel has managed to make the Russians staying at the Inn take a waiter hostage. Now I have to go get him back."

"So no shopping?"

"Well…Jess?" Mom yelled.

"Yeah?" Jess asked sticking his head out of the kitchen.

"Can you take Rory and Erica shopping? There's an emergency at the Inn and I have to go solve it."

"Sure." He said shrugging.

"Thanks so much!" Mom called over her shoulder.

"So should we go now?" Jess asked coming around the counter.

"Okay." I agreed.

"Erica!" Jess yelled up the stairs. A minute later Erica ran down the stairs.

"Yeah? Is it time to go shopping? Where's Auntie Lorelai?"

"She had to go take care of something at work. So I'm gonna take you and Rory shopping." Jess told her smiling and picking her up to balance her on his hip.

"Did Michel do something stupid again?"

"Yep. Now come on lets go."

We all walked out of the diner to Jess' car, I helped Erica into her car seat and Jess started the car. I climbed in the front seat and smiled at Jess as he pulled away from the curb. We pulled up in front of a bridal store. There was a coffee shop across the street and Jess said he would go get coffee for us while Erica and I went in.

One of the store clerks approached me while Erica was trying on a dress.

"Your daughter's adorable! How old is she?"

"She's four but she not my daughter. She my friends daughter, he's across the street getting coffee." I explained.

"Oh well she's adorable!"

"She looks just like her father." I told the woman. The bell on the door rang and I looked up Jess spotted me and walked over. "There he is now."

"I was just saying how beautiful your daughter is. And you're right she looks exactly like him." She said to me.

"Thank you." Jess replied politely.

Erica came out of the dressing room she was wearing a white dress that with spaghetti straps. The skirt came almost to the floor and had beautiful beaded detail.

"I like this one!" She declared.

"Me too!" I agreed. "Why don't you go change back into your clothes then you can help me pick a dress?"

"Okay."

"What are you shopping for?" the clerk asked.

"My mom and his uncle's wedding. Erica's the flower girl and I'm the maid of honor." I told her.

"So you two will be cousins?"

"No!" We both said quickly.

Erica came back out in her normal clothes and handed Jess her dress.

"Come on Rory!" she yelled grabbing my hand and dragging me to a rack of dresses.

Jess' POV

I watched Rory and Erica wander around the store looking at dresses. Rory held on to Erica's hand, I smiled at this.

"She a beautiful young woman." The woman we had been speaking to said.

"Hmm?"

"Your friend. She's very beautiful."

"Yeah." I agreed.

"It's a wonder she's not married."

"Well she doesn't have a lot of free time. She's an international correspondent."

"I thought she looked familiar. Rory Gilmore, she's been in Africa for the last few months' right?" the woman half questioned.

"Yeah."

"I have a feeling she won't be single much longer." The woman smiled at me and walked away to speak to another customer.

"Daddy come see!" Erica ran up to me. "Rory's trying on her dresses." I followed her back to the dressing rooms. A minute later Rory came out. My breath caught in my throat. Rory had on a blue dress that matched her eyes exactly. It fit her slim figure perfectly, showing off all of her curves.

"You look beautiful." I told her sincerely.

"Thank you. I think this is the dress." She concluded smiling. She changed back into her clothes and we took the two dresses to the front. Rory handed the clerk her grandparents' credit card since they had insisted on paying for the wedding party's attire. The three of us walked out of the shop and put their dresses in the back seat. We drove back to Stars Hollow with Erica telling us about the book she was reading.

A/N- So I've had a few people mention they don't think Rory and Jess should jump into a relationship, I agree. I'm just not sure when to get them together. Opinions? Anyway please review and I'll try to get the next chapter up soon! Oh, I'm putting links for all of the wedding stuff in my profile so check it out!
