Thank you for being patient with updates! I am writing whenever I get a free minute! I will update as soon as I can.
He felt the anger and frustration begin to build in him and he was about to yell when he heard a knock on the door. He stopped dead in his tracks and felt his heart pounding in his chest and heard himself trying to breath deeply.
The knock sounded again and he suddenly found himself pushing off the chair and dashing to the front door. He whipped it open and he had to admit that of all the people he expected to see...who he came face to face with wasn't what he ever would have dreamed of.
"Luke, right?" The girl said, "The husband?"
Luke took a deep breath, "Jessica...what are you doing here?"
She shoved her hands in her pockets and he saw her shaking in the rain, "I think we need to talk…"
Luke frowned and nodded his head, "Yeah...I think we do."
Luke stepped back to let Jessica into the house. He saw that she was nervous, her hands shook as she stepped through the front door, afraid to cast a glance at him. Luke cleared his throat and pointed towards the kitchen. She tried to awkwardly smile at him before he followed behind her towards the kitchen.
She swallowed hard as she sat down, "You...you have a beautiful home."
Luke leaned against the counter as he watched her sit at the table, "Thank you. Lorelai bought it. All on her own...when she had Rory. Way before me."
Jessica flushed, "Yes well...Lorelai is much braver and stronger than I could ever or will ever be."
Luke took a deep breath and tried to fight the urge to yell at her, "Why are you here?"
She frowned and smoothed her hands along the table, "My parents have Sadie…"
Luke narrowed his eyes at her, "Yes. They do. How did you know?"
She frowned, "I just...I know."
Luke took a deep breath, "You abandoned her, why do you care what happens now?"
Feeling ashamed, she looked down at the table unable to meet his eyes, "I know that you must think I'm…" She frowned and shook her head, "I didn't ask for any of this."
Luke was silent for a moment, trying to think of something to say, "Jessica I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to try and raise Sadie on your own but…" He paused again and took a deep breath, "You took advantage of Lorelai's trust. Of her kindness and she…" He shook his head, "She didn't deserve that."
Jessica frowned, "How do you think she managed to do it? Take care of a baby all on her own at such a young age? How did she manage to not screw her up."
Luke looked down at the kitchen floor, "That is something I will never know. She made it look easy...but I know it wasn't. She worked her ass off to make a life for her daughter. And for that and so many other things I am incredibly proud."
Jessica bit her lip, "You love her very much." He lifted his head and looked at her, she smiled, "You'd do anything to protect her."
"I would." Luke whispered, "And I will." He stood up a little straighter, "Which is why I will not let you hurt her anymore than you already have."
She frowned, "Hurt her?"
Luke stared at her for a moment and then walked over to the table, "Lorelai's heart is bigger than anyone I have ever met. She sees the good in everyone she encounters. Sometimes this leads to her getting hurt which I try and prevent but I can't always." He paused, "She saw herself in you...she wanted to help you. To help Sadie. She was devastated when you left...for herself but more for Sadie and then…" He paused, his face flushing, "We had Sadie here. Did you know that?"
Jessica took a deep breath, "That's what I wanted."
Luke raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Well she fell in love with that baby…" He cleared his throat, "And...so did I. And now she's gone too."
Jessica opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by the sound of feet, "Luke?" They both froze in their seats, "Do you have any of that tea that helps me sle-" She paused whens he walked into the kitchen, "Jessica."
Luke heard the sharp intake of breath, and watched as the two women stared at each other. He pushed himself up off the table and walked over to her whispering to her, "Lorelai…"
Lorelai took a deep breath, "What are you doing here?"
Jessica looked down and frowned, "Lorelai I am so sorry…"
Lorelai felt hear heart beginning to race in her chest, "Sadie isn't here."
Luke wrapped his arm around his wife and rubbed her back gently to try and soothe her, "I know." Jessica said softly. "That's why I'm here."
Lorelai shook her head, "You didn't want her. Why do you care where she is now?"
She frowned and looked down, "I know that I am nothing compared to you. I know what you must think of me...I just-"
"That's not what this is about." Lorelai said shaking her head, "I don't care about…" She frowned and looked down, "Did you come here to take Sadie back?"
Jessica frowned and looked down, "I am not cut out to be a Mother."
A silence hung through the room for a moment. Luke whispered something in Lorelai's ear and then went to make her some tea. Lorelai walked over to the table and sat down across from Jessica. No one said or did anything for a few moments until Luke brought the tea over to his wife and sat down beside her.
"Did you want some tea?" Luke asked Jessica, she shook her head and he paused, "Okay." He paused and cleared his throat, "What are we going to-"
"I'm sorry for what I have done to you. For what I did to Sadie…" She looked down, "I just...the idea of a baby in my head seemed so different. I thought it would fix things. I thought it would make Tommy love me...I thought it would give me a life away from-" Her face flushed, "I just...I thought it was going to make it better but it didn't. It made it harder...and more complicated. And I was afraid…"
"You thought it would take you away from what?" Lorelai asked softly, feeling a shift in the room.
Jessica looked down, "I'm sure my parents told you terrible things about me…"
Luke and Lorelai shared a look afraid to bring up what they had said, "Jessica…"
"The drugs...I assume they told you about the drugs." She said shifting in her seat.
Lorelai frowned, "They...mentioned it."
"Yes well did they mention I only started because they had them lying around the house. It was practically like candy." She said with a snort, Lorelai and Luke's eyes widened and she frowned, "Of course they left that part out."
Luke took a deep breath, "So you are saying that they use…"
Jessica frowned, "I am not ready to be a Mother. In all honesty...I don't think that I ever want to be a Mother. I wouldn't know how to be a good Mother no matter how old I was. But despite that...I don't-" Her voice cracked and she shook her head, "I don't want Sadie to be in their clutches. They'll ruin her like they ruined me."
Lorelai's heart was hammering in her chest, "Jessica they have the rightful claim to her as your parents."
Jessica frowned, "I didn't think they would want her. When they found out that I was pregnant they went crazy...said they would not take care of her. I just assumed they'd never know...I assumed that Sadie could just…"
"That Sadie could just what?" Lorelai asked anxiously.
"I assumed that Sadie could just stay with you." She whispered, "It seemed so...so right."
Lorelai swallowed hard, "You wanted us to have her?"
Jessica looked down, "I saw you with her...you were so good. It was so easy for you to take care of her. You knew what to do...it was so instinctual and yet with me I felt so clumsy. So uncomfortable and afraid. But not you…" She looked back at up her, "It was like she was yours the moment I walked into the Inn. It made sense. You knew what it was like to take care of a child...you would understand what I was feeling. And so I thought it would be better for everyone. I didn't think that this would happen…"
"So that's why you came back?" Luke asked, "You don't want your parents to have her?"
Jessica looked down at the table and was quiet, "When I was five...I was sick. Chicken pox. I felt so sick...All I wanted was to sleep but I was afraid to be alone. I went to my parents...I thought they would take care of me. My Father was...drunk and angry...My Mom was passed out on the floor. I asked if I could stay with them...and he turned and just started screaming at me. And he hit me...over and over again until I just crawled out of the room." She sniffled, "After that...whenever I looked at him the wrong way he made his anger known. And my Mom never did anything...sometimes she practically encouraged it."
Lorelai hadn't realized she was crying at the time and looked away from Jessica to her husband, "Luke…"
He took a deep breath, "Didn't you ever tell anyone?"
Jessica shook her head, "My Father's best friend was the Police Chief in our town then...it didn't matter. My Father had DUI's against him that somehow disappeared. No one would have believed me. No one would have cared but…" She paused, "I may not want to be a Mother to Sadie...but more than that I do not want my daughter with them."
"So what do we do?" Lorelai whispered, "Luke we can't leave her with them…"
Luke looked at Jessica sternly, "What are you going to do?"
Jessica took a deep breath, "Do you...do you want to adopt my daughter?"
Lorelai quickly reached for Luke's hand, "Jessica…"
She sniffled and wiped at her eyes, "Sadie is an innocent baby…" She looked down, "I wish that I could be the Mother she deserves but I am not ready. And I don't…" Her lip trembled, "I know that I never will be. It's not part of my plan...but I need to know that you will take care of my daughter. I need to know that…" She started to cry harder, "I need to know that no matter what you will love her as if she truly were your own. Like she is your own...because she deserves it." She looked at them both, "And so do you."
Lorelai looked at her husband, neither of them needed to say anything to each other. They knew what they wanted. They knew that in their hearts they felt that Sadie was meant to be theirs. Luke turned from his wife to the young girl in front of him, "Jessica...we want Sadie here. We didn't expect this but…" He took a deep breath, "If you agree to this...then yes. We would adopt her." He squeezed his wife's hand, "We want her here."
Jessica took a deep breath, "Okay."
Lorelai licked her lips and leaned closer against the table, "Okay?"
Jessica smoothed her hands along the table and nodded, "I guess we have work to do…"
Lorelai took a deep breath and paused, "Jessica...I-"
She shook her head, "She's meant to be yours…" She frowned, "I feel nothing when I look at her...nothing but sadness and I know that it makes me look-"
"I'm not here to judge you." Lorelai whispered, "I know it isn't easy."
Jessica frowned, "Yet you were able to do it…"
"Every story is different." She replied, "And if you feel that this is right for your daughter then…"
Jessica whispered, "Just promise me you'll love her." She shook her head, "No matter what."
Lorelai swallowed hard, "Always."
Jessica cleared her throat, "Okay. Then...that's all that matters." She wiped at her eyes, "But for now...would it be alright if I get some sleep?" Lorelai and Luke gave her a nervous glance and she smiled sadly, "I promise I'll be here in the morning. This time I'll do what's right for her…"
An hour later, Luke and Lorelai were up in their own bed while Jessica slept in Rory's old bedroom downstairs. Neither of them and said a word since they walked into their bedroom.
Finally Lorelai turned to her husband, "Luke-"
He turned to her and smiled, "Are you okay?"
She looked down at their joined hands, "You...you want this, right?" She paused, "You didn't just agree to this because you thought it would make me happy?"
He sighed and squeezed her hand, "Lorelai-"
She frowned, "You said before that you didn't want to talk about adoption. That you didn't like the idea...that you wanted a child of our own."
Luke sighed and rested his head back against the headboard, "I did say that then…"
She swallowed nervously, "But now?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "I never expected Sadie to come into our lives. She wasn't part of the plan…" He turned and chuckled, "But then again neither were you or Rory. And not April either…" He frowned, "And yet the three of you turned my world upside down in ways I never would have believed. And you all created a life for me I never thought I deserved." He looked back down at their hands, "I felt that same feeling with Sadie in my arms...I didn't expect it but it feels right."
The tears brimmed in her eyes and she leaned forward to snuggle into her side, "Do you think...do think this will actually work?"
He sighed and rubbed her back gently, dropping a kiss to the top of her head, "I hope so." He paused a moment and the whispered, "Lorelai I want you to know something…"
The tone of his voice let her know that whatever he was going to say was important, so she tilted her head to look at up him, "Luke?"
He pushed her hair back and stared deep into her eyes, "No matter what happens...I'm going to be right beside you."
She smiled and lifted her hand to touch his cheek, "I've always known that Luke. You've always taken care of me…"
"And I always will. Regardless of what happens...we'll figure this out together." He whispered to her before pressing a kiss to her lips.
She sighed into his embrace and breathed him in, trying to ward off all her worries and fears about what happened next. Wanting to believe that they would be able to have the family they craved so badly.
Two days later, Lorelai sat with Luke in a hotel room in New Hampshire waiting for news from Jessica. Lorelai was beside herself with nerves and Luke did his best to keep her preoccupied but it wasn't much luck. A knock on their hotel door startled them both because Jessica had agreed to call them with news.
Luke stood up and walked to the door, he smiled when he saw who was on the other side, "Rory? Emily?"
The door opened and Emily walked in, "Why is it so much colder up here?"
Lorelai gasped, "Mom? Rory? What are you doing here?"
Rory put their bags down, "You didn't think we'd let you do this without us, did you?" She said with a smile.
Lorelai stood up and walked over to her daughter, "Rory…"
Rory pulled her Mom into her arms, "How are you holding up?"
"I'm…" She pulled away and frowned, "Nervous."
Emily sat down on the chair in the corner, "I found a lawyer to help us deal with this. For JEssica too. Her parents won't just hand the baby over to you."
Luke frowned, "They were unfit to take care of their daughter. They are unfair to take of their granddaughter too."
Emily nodded, "So Jessica says. But you will need help to prove it."
"Why would they take Sadie to begin with?" Rory asked, "I mean...clearly they didn't want her."
Lorelai sighed, "I don't know. I suppose they thought it's what they had to do."
Emily looked at her daughter, then at Luke, "But you two...you want to adopt Sadie?"
Lorelai looked at Luke and smiled, "We do." She paused and looked down, "I know that...this isn't really what you would have pictured for me. For us…" She sighed, "But when Sadie came into our life it just felt right."
Emily looked down at the floor, "Lorelai it's not about what I wanted for your life. It's what will make you happy. And if this is what makes you happy...then I support you." She smiled, "Besides I always wanted another Grandchild."
Lorelai licked her lips, "And you'd...you'd see her as your granddaughter?"
"Of course." Emily said with a smile, "Why wouldn't I?" No one said anything and she smiled, "For as long as I have known you...you have never done anything that you didn't feel in your heart was right. You love fiercely and you clearly love this child. Maybe it wasn't part of the plan…" She shrugged and smiled as she turned to Rory, "But then again neither was Rory. But she changed all of our lives for the better."
Lorelai was going to say something but the sound of a phone startled them all. Lorelai jumped and ran to the bedside table to pick up her cell phone, "Hello?" She looked up at her husband who quickly crossed the room to be by her side, he held her hand as she listened to their words, "I see...so…" She fidgeted slightly, "So they are going to fight for her?" Her voice cracked, "What are we supposed to do?" She took a deep breath, "Yes...yes we'll meet you there."
She closed her phone and looked at her Mother, "I'll make the call." Emily said with a smile, "Don't you worry Lorelai...we'll make sure that Sadie comes home where she belongs."
Lorelai and Luke gave each other a look of nervous hope. Luke smiled and squeezed her hand, reminding of her of the promise he had given her just nights before. She smiled back and felt the nervous beating of her heart begin to ease just slightly.
A few hours later, they sat in the police station of their small town. Emily's lawyer whispered to Luke and Lorelai as the door opened and Jessica walked in holding Sadie.
Lorelai jumped up but stood still, unsure if she should run to Sadie or not under the circumstances. Suddenly she felt worried seeing Sadie in Jessica's arms...worried that she had changed her mind.
But slowly Jessica crossed the room and handed the small baby to Lorelai. Sadie hiccuped slightly and reached her small little hand up to touch Lorelai's face. Tears immediately sprung up into Lorelai's eyes, "Hi sweet girl…" Sadie giggled and smiled, "Oh you are so beautiful."
Luke felt his heart pounding in his chest as he reached a hand out to touch Sadie's head, "Hey Sadie girl...we missed you."
Jessica smiled as she watched them, "See...she's already yours."
Lorelai looked up and frowned, "Jessica…"
She sighed and turned to their lawyer, "My parents...are fighting for her." She shrugged, "I don't know why. Maybe out of spite to me. Maybe...maybe because they feel they are supposed to. I don't know but…" She sighed and gave him a look, "I don't want them to have her. As her Mother...isn't it my right to choose?"
He frowned at her, "Well it should be. But under the circumstances...because you left they could have a claim."
Jessica looked down, "See...I really am a screw up. I could never be a Mother."
He looked at her for a moment, "Sadie's Father doesn't want parental rights?"
Jessica shook her head, "No."
"And it is your wish that legally Sadie will be Mr. and Mrs. Danes?" He asked.
Jessica smiled, "They would be able to give her the life she deserves...the life I never had. The life I could never give her."
Their lawyer Mr. Wyatt nodded, "I want you to tell me everything you can about your parents. About your childhood...we need to make a case."
Jessica swallowed hard, "Okay."
She sat down with him as an Officer walked into the room. Luke and Lorelai stood up to walk away with Sadie, allowing her to have her space as she told her story. When they walked into the open part of the Precinct, Lorelai stopped dead in her tracks.
"Luke…" She whispered reaching for his hand anxiously.
He followed her gaze and stood up a little straighter as Jessica's Mother walked towards them. She scoffed, "Already back in your arms."
Luke stepped forward, feeling the need to be between his wife, Sadie and this woman, "Mrs. Herring-"
"Why do you want her?" Mrs. Herring asked, "She's no use to you. She's not yours."
Lorelai frowned, "Why do you want her?"
Mrs. Herring sighed, "It's not that I want her...but she's my grandaughter."
"You kicked your daughter out when you found out she was pregnant. What has changed?" Lorelai asked angrily, "Why do you all of a sudden care about her?"
The door opened and Jessica frowned, "What are you doing here Mom?"
Her Mother shrugged, "I wanted to see them again...your Father didn't care to come."
"Mom...why are you even fighting for this?" Jessica said a frown, "You barely wanted me! What will you do with Jessica, other than ruin another child?"
Mrs. Herring frowned, "Your Father didn't do anything to you that you didn't deserve. You never listened...you were always getting into trouble. Always in the way. You never shut up...never stopped crying. It was too much."
"Babies cry Mom. That's what she will do. What she always did when I had her." Jessica frowned, "Lorelai seems to be the only one that can calm her down."
"I told you that that boyfriend of yours was trouble." She said, "Look what he got you into. And then ran away when he knocked you up."
Jessica looked down, "I just wanted someone to love me. I thought he would…"
"It didn't work out for you did it?" She said with a smile, "He didn't want you once you were pregnant. And now here we are…"
"If you just let Sadie go...let Lorelai and Luke take her and then you'll never have to worry about me, or Tommy or any of this again." She said angrily, "You are so stubborn. You just always want to be in control! But you don't want her…"
Her Mother took a deep breath and then turned to Lorelai and Luke, "What is it that you want?"
Lorelai swallowed hard, "What?"
"Some girl shows up on your doorstep with a baby and you just allow her in." She laughed, "What's the point? Why do you want her?"
Lorelai looked down, "I was a young single Mother...I thought I understood Jessica's situation."
She frowned, "You have a daughter of your own?"
Lorelai swallowed hard, "Yes. And a Step-daughter."
"So why do you want another child?" She said with a sigh, "Why is this so important?"
Luke walked up to his wife and wrapped an arm around her, "Because we fell in love with this little girl...we want what's best for her."
She sighed and looked at Lorelai, "And you think what's best is to live with you?"
Lorelai frowned, "I don't know what's best. I can't pretend I would be perfect...that we would be the best parents she could have." She licked her lips and held Sadie closer, "But we would love her. No matter what."
Mrs. Herring frowned and looked at her daughter, "And you...you're willing to just give her away?"
Jessia frowned, "We both know I'm not fit to be her Mother."
She frowned and looked down, "No you aren't…"
Jessica stood up a little straighter, "But neither are you."
Mrs. Herring cleared her throat, "So...we just hand her over to these strangers and pretend that she never existed?"
Jessica sniffed and looked down, "I will probably always think about her. But…" She turned to Lorelai and Luke, "Sadie deserves better than what we can give her. And I don't...I don't have that maternal instinct that Lorelai had. It was to easy to walk away...I don't think I would have come back if I didn't hear that you had her." She frowned, "Mom...you know you don't want her. You're just...doing what you think you have to do." She shrugged, "Do you honestly want to take care of another child?"
Mrs. Herring turned to look at Sadie, "I don't…I just assumed no one else wanted her." She paused then looked at Lorelai, "But you do?"
Lorelai held Sadie's head against her lips, "Yes."
She took a deep breath and looked at Jessica, "I'll talk to your Father. But we both know he is stubborn."
Jessica frowned, "He's cruel."
She looked down, "I...I was afraid of him to you know. I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you."
Jessica took a deep breath, "You didn't protect me...but you can protect Sadie."
She sighed but nodded slowly, "I'll talk to him tonight."
Jessica nodded, "Okay."
She sighed and looked away, "I'll call you tomorrow." She turned to Lorelai, "You really want her?"
Lorelai smiled softly, "More than anything."
She nodded once and then turned to walk out of the precinct and go back home to talk to her husband. Once she was out of sight, Jessica turned to Luke and Lorelai. Luke squeezed Lorelai's shoulder, "So now we wait?"
Jessica nodded, "Now we wait."
Luke looked down at Sadie in his wife's arms and kissed the top of her little head. Knowing that no matter what...he would fight for what was right for this little girl. Nothing looked more right than to see her in Lorelai's arms.
That night, Luke and Lorelai walked into their hotel room where Rory and Emily were waiting. Sadie was in their arms and Jessica was staying down the hall.
Emily gasped slightly when she saw the little girl, "Is that her?"
Lorelai nodded, "Jessica said she could stay with us tonight...we don't know what is going to happen quite yet."
Emily stood up and walked over to her daughter, "May...may I hold her?"
Lorelai nodded and held her arms out, handing Sadie over to her Mother. Sadie looked up at Emly with her wide curious eyes and smiled gently, cooing as she took in Emily's face for the first time. Emily smiled back at her and went to sit down on a chair in the corner with Sadie cradled in her arms.
Emily smiled down at her, "I can see why you fell in love with her so easily. She is adorable."
"She smiles all the time." Rory said with a laugh as she looked down at the baby, "I hardly see her cry."
"According to Jessica all she did is cry with her." Luke said sitting down on the bed.
Emily frowned and looked up at him, "Because she didn't know what she was doing."
"I didn't know what I was doing with Rory." Lorelai said with a laugh, "Does any first time Mother really know what they are doing?"
Emily frowned, "No. I suppose not...I didn't know what I was doing with you. You made it look so easy with Rory though. Even in just the short time I saw you with her when she was first born."
"Well it wasn't easy." Lorelai said softly, "And it won't be easy now. Not easy but worth it…" She said turning to smile at Rory and then down at Sadie.
"I should order something to eat." Luke said turning to his wife, "You haven't eaten anything all day."
Lorelai smiled at him, "Okay."
"We'll need our strength. Tomorrow will be a long day of waiting…" He said to her.
Lorelai smiled, "I know."
"I'll get some ice and water." Rory said softly, "You should drink something."
Lorelai smiled, "Do you want me to come with you?"
Rory shook her head, "No. I'll be fine." She smiled and stood up, reaching out for the ice bucket as she exited the room.
She waited a moment, then turned down the hall a different way, opposite of the ice bucket. She found herself in front of Jessica's hotel room, heart pounding in her chest. Lifting her hand, she rapped gently on the door.
When it opened, Jessica stared at her curiously for a moment then smiled, "You have to be Lorelai's daughter. You look so much alike."
Rory smiled, "I am lucky enough to call her my Mom. Yes."
Jessica stepped aside, "Do you want to come in?"
"Would that be okay with you?" Rory asked softly, "I don't want to make you uncomfortable."
Jessica shook her head, "No. It's okay. I'd like to talk to you actually."
Rory smiled and stepped into the small room, she waited for Jessica to close the door before she looked at her, "Jessica…I can't imagine that any of this is easy for you."
Jessica frowned and sat down on her bed, "I can honestly say that I never expected any of this to happen. But it did...and now we're here."
Rory licked her lips and sat down on chair in the corner, "Jessica...I want you to know that I'm really protective of my Mom. I need to know...that this isn't some game to you."
Jessica shook her head, "It isn't a game to me Rory. I'm not ready to be a Mother and...I want her to be with someone that will actually care about her."
Rory smiled, "Well you can be sure that my Mom and Luke will take care of her."
Jessica nodded once, "You like Luke? I know he isn't your real Dad."
"He's as good as." Rory said with a smile, "He's been in my life since I was a kid...and he was there for me more than my own Dad was. He was in and out when it suited him. When I was older...they tried to make it work." She paused, "But my Mom and Luke have always been meant to be together. Luke was always there for both of us...always wanting to protect us the way a Dad should and would."
Jessica nodded, "Can I ask you something? Something kind of strange?"
Rory nodded, "Sure."
Jessica fidgeted slightly, "Did you ever have the chicken pox?"
Rory frowned, clearly not expecting that question, "Um...yes. I did. Why?"
Jessica sniffled slightly, "Did your Mom take care of you when you were sick?"
Rory smiled, "She did. And…" She laughed and looked down, "So did Luke actually."
Jessica's frown turned to a smile, "Really?"
Rory nodded, "All I wanted was mashed potatoes...but my Mom is like the world's worst cook. So she called Luke and of course he was there in an instant. Made me anything and everything I could possibly want. No questions asked. Mom entertained me...Luke kept me fed and keep my strength up. And the whole time I remember thinking…" She smiled and shrugged, "This is what a real family is like."
Jessica looked down, "They'll be good to my daughter...I know it."
Rory smiled, "Jessica you could not have picked two better people to take care of Sadie. She will be loved and taken care of no matter what. You never have to doubt that."
Jessica looked at Lorelai's grown daughter and knew that this was right. She just hoped that her parents did the right thing too.
I will update as soon as I can! Thanks for all the love!
