And if you don't remember what happened, I suggest you go back and read it over. Thanks to all you faithful readers! You are the reason I write! Read and review!
Epilogue
Two years had passed already and little Holden had grown too. He could now run around, clumsily, and he caused trouble. He definitely was Jess' son.
"Holden come here!" Jess called out, chasing after him.
"No!" Holden shouted, running around with scissors.
Rory laughed. "See! I told you he would be just like you."
"Ror, not now!" Jess growled frustrated, but smirking as he thought about what she said. "Why couldn't he be more like you?"
"Holden come here." Rory quietly scolded. Holden immediately stopped running and walked over to her. Rory held her hand out to him.
"Give me the scissors."
Holden handed them to her and gave a little smirk. Rory started laughing and Jess just smirked in response.
"See right there! That's all you!" Rory pointed.
"Well maybe this one will be like you." Jess replied and placed his hand on her stomach.
"Yeah maybe." Rory giggled, rubbing her stomach and lacing their hands together.
"I say we let Holden loose in Doose's. See what kind of havoc he could wreck there." Jess grinned.
"Uh uh! Taylor would have a fit!" Rory shook her head, imagining all the possibilities.
"Oh come on!" Jess protested.
"Nope. He may be like you, but that doesn't mean we have to encourage it." Rory eyed Holden lovingly.
"Come here buddy." Jess opened his arms for Holden to come. He ran happily to his fathers arms and laughed. "What do you say we go anyway?" He whispered to him.
"I heard that Jess!" Rory turned around.
Jess smirked and walked towards her. "Doesn't mean you're going to stop me."
"I guess I can't. But if I get a complaint about Taylor banning us from Stars Hollow, then you're going to be sorry."
"He won't ban us." Jess scoffed. "Especially since we're visitors here. Your mom would give him a piece of her mind."
Rory laughed at the thought. "I guess you're right. Fine. Go give Taylor a heart attack."
"Yes!" Jess looked at Holden who mimicked him. "Yes!" Holden raised his fists, not exactly sure of what was going on.
Rory walked into the living room and sat on the couch where her mother was.
"There is the fruit of my loins!" Lorelai exclaimed, pulling her close and hugging her. "Where are hoodlum and hoodlum jr. at?"
Rory grinned. "Doose's."
"What! I wanna go! Let's go! We have to see this!" Lorelai tugged at Rory's hand and helped her stand up.
"Mom, then it will be obvious."
"Well we can go to Luke's and watch from a distance."
"We are a little hungry. Ok." Rory gave in and grabbed her purse.
"YAY! I can't wait to see what happens. I'm glad you married a hoodlum and had hoodlum babies."
Rory rolled her eyes and followed her mom. They walked pass Doose's and glanced in, only to find Holden carrying an open bottle of glue and running around with Jess and Taylor chasing him. Rory and Lorelai laughed and walked into Luke's.
"Hey Rory. Lorelai." Luke greeted, giving Lorelai a kiss. "What are you guys doing here? Where's Jess and Holden?"
Lorelai gave an evil grin and looked at Rory who rolled her eyes.
"Doose's." They both replied.
"What? I have to see this!" Luke rushed out of the Diner with Lorelai and Rory following close behind.
"Holden! Come here!" Jess begged, chasing after his son.
"NO!"
"Young man, I suggest you get your son and leave." Taylor angrily ordered.
"Taylor you can't do that!" Luke snapped. "He's just a baby. He doesn't know what he's doing."
"I'm sure his hoodlum father knows what he's doing."
"Uncle Luke, I turned my back for a second and he was out of here. I have been trying to catch him. I swear." Jess feigned innocence.
Rory and Lorelai were holding in chuckles.
"Holden sweetie, come to grandma." Lorelai held out her arms and Holden screamed and ran to her. "That's my mini hoodlum." She whispered to him.
Rory took the glue from Holden and gave to Taylor. "I'm sorry about the mess."
Taylor just glared at her and took the glue. Luke grinned as he watched Taylor mope around and bark orders to his employees to clean up the mess.
"Come on guys, I'm starving." Rory said, grabbing Jess' hand and lacing their fingers together.
"Food's on me." Luke smiled.
"It's always on you." Lorelai reasoned.
"Yeah, well this time I have a reason for it to be on me." Jess chuckled and looked at his son, who was a mess.
"He needs a bath." Rory whispered.
Holden's head snapped up and his eyes narrowed. "No bath! NO BATH!" He began wriggling in Lorelai's arms and Jess laughed.
"C'mere buddy." He grabbed Holden. "Yes you need a bath. And you better behave for mommy, she needs you to be good ok?"
Holden looked at Rory who was smiling softly at him. Jess looked back at Rory and winked at her. Holden nodded his head and hung it low.
"If you be good and take a bath, I'll buy you a book." Jess whispered.
"I heard that." Rory grinned.
"Mommy will too."
"Okay!" Holden grinned.
The whole family walked into the diner and sat down at a table. Grinning and laughing as they watched Holden. Jess grabbed Rory's hand and ran his thumb over her fingers before lifting it and kissing her softly.
"You make me happy." Jess whispered.
"I love you." Rory replied.
Jess smiled and let his hand fall and rest on Rory's stomach. Rory let her hand rest of top of Jess' and she looked lovingly at her husband and son. She couldn't be happier.
Lorelai noticed this and decided to give them space. To let them enjoy their family moment. She took out her camera and snapped a picture of the scene, knowing that one day it will be memorable.
"Aren't the a cute family?" Lorelai asked Luke as she sat at the stool.
"Yeah, who would have thought. Jess, a family man." Luke shook his head and smiled.
The end! Hope you liked it! Let me know what you thought!
