"Are we seriously seeing a play?" Jess asked as they stepped out of his car and stepped out into the parking garage.

"Yes," Rory beamed and linked her arm through his.

"Its our last night," Lorelai added. "The Trekkie is a Broadway baby, remember?"

"I am not a Broadway baby," Luke defended. "Or a trekkie."

"That uniform in your closest would disagree," Lorelai added.

"There is not a uniform in the closet," Luke said.

"Mom, what's Trekkie?" Evan asked.

Lorelai snickered. "It's a fan of the tv show Star Trek. Your dad was a huge fan growing up."

Her husband groaned. "I was not a huge fan."

"Mia says differently," Rory butt in.

Jess laughed. "Please tell me she has pictures."

"How did this turn into me being a Star Trek fan from seeing a play?" Luke asked.

Lorelai gasped triumphantly. "Aha! You said you're a fan!"

"Fine, I was a fan," Luke admitted.

Lorelai looked down at her son. "With the Captain Kirk uniform."

"It wasn't the uniform," he said. "It was the shirt."

"Close enough!" Lorelai beamed.

"Again, I say I hope there's pictures," Jess said.

Luke led his wife and son forward. "Come on, let's go."

Rory snickered and moved her head closer to Jess' shoulder. He saw the building they were headed for and actually almost smiled. They were really going to a play.

...

After the play they piled into Jess' car and Lorelai requested Italian food for dinner. They found a restaurant nearby that wasn't too packed. The wait wasn't that long and they were quickly out of there.

When they got back to the apartment, Lorelai suggested a movie. Rory sat on the couch, a question on her lips. "What movie?"

"I don't know," she shrugged. "What do you have?"

"Go look," Jess waved his arm. "Pick something out."

"Jess is letting me pick?" Lorelai gasped in mock-surprise. "He must have been kidnapped and replaced by some pod person. Man, that makes a lot of sense."

"I used to watch movies with the two of you," he defended.

"Yes, in high school," she nodded as she walked over to the collection of DVD's. "When you came over almost every night to make moon eyes at my daughter."

Luke shut the door behind him as Evan finally allowed him to come inside. "Who said he still doesn't?"

Rory smiled brightly while Jess made a face. "Just pick a movie."

"We're gonna watch a movie?" Evan asked while his father took his jacket off.

"We are," he told him. "You're going to bed."

He pouted. "Why?"

"Because you're five," Luke explained.

"That's not fair," he whined.

Lorelai pulled a dvd off the shelf, looked at it for a moment then put it back. "Go brush your teeth, sweetie."

"I'll help him," Jess walked to his cousin and after some reluctance, got him in the direction of the bathroom.

"Still making a mess in there?" Luke asked Rory.

She shook her head. "Not again but I think Jess is just being cautious. He said last time was pretty messy."

"Oh, my god!" Lorelai gasped as she pulled a movie out.

"What?" Luke asked, thinking she meant it to Evan.

Rory got off the couch and walked over to her mother. Lorelai showed her to dvd which made her daughter laugh. "You never told me you have your own copy."

"Because I don't," Rory said. "That's Jess'."

"What?" Lorelai asked in disbelief. "Jess? Jess Mariano?"

Rory nodded with another laugh. "Yes. Why, do you know another?"

She was still stunned. "Jess has Saturday night fever on dvd?"

"He actually watched that?" Luke asked.

"Many times," Rory smiled at the memories. Some were making out during the movie but more often than that was actually watching the movie.

"I can't believe that," the older man said.

"Believe what?" Jess asked as he and Evan walked back into the room.

"Is it about me?" Evan asked.

"No," Lorelai pointed at Jess. "Its about him."

Jess looked between the three of them. "What about me?"

"I tried to explain to her," Rory said as her mother held up the dvd.

"We're watching this," Lorelai said and Luke sighed.

"No, we're not," her husband shook his head.

She took his hand and led him toward the couch. "Yes, we are. Say good night to your son, I'll tuck him in and when I cone back out, we are watching this."

"Fine," he said and the two walked to Evan together and went into the bedroom.

Jess walked from his spot finally and went right to Rory. She started rambling as soon as he reached her. "I tried to defend you with the movie but she found it first -"

His lips on hers cut her off and after five seconds, he pulled away. "I have wanted to do that all night."

"Really?" She asked shyly.

"You have any doubts?" Jess whispered.

She smiled softly at him. "You could have kissed me. They won't care."

"Kiss you in the middle of our double date with your mom, my uncle and their son?" He raised an eyebrow.

Rory made a face in return. "Yeah, that sounds weird."

He kissed her again, this time her fingers tangled in his hair. Before it got any more intense, a throat cleared. The two of them turned around and saw Lorelai stood there with her arms crossed over her chest. "I see you don't miss us."

Rory's face turned a light pink as she moved her hands away. Jess turned as she did and stood behind her. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and Lorelai couldn't deny his happy they looked. "Evan all set?"

"Yeah," she nodded. "Just waiting on you two to say goodnight."

"Oh," Rory said. She almost forgot thanks to the kiss and instantly felt guilty. She moved out of his arms despite him gripping her tighter to him.

She was out of the room in a flash and Lorelai stood there, watching Jess. They're quiet for a moment than she speaks. "I don't think I've ever seen her happier."

He resists the grin that wants to come off his face and instead just nods. "You think so?"

Closing the distance between them, she speaks again when she's a few feet away and stops her steps. "I've seen Rory in serious relationships, I've seen her in flings. I've seen her have a couple dates and I've seen her married. But I don't think I've ever seen her look like she does with you."

He nodded, still rooted to the spot. "What exactly does that mean? You're in support this time?"

She chuckled in response. "I think last time I didn't know you and it clouded my judgement even when I saw her happy with you. I was always waiting for the other shoe to fall."

"And now?" Jess wondered.

"And now I've gotten to know you," Lorelai replied. "Because of Luke and Evan, even Liz. Because you've changed and you come back to Stars Hollow of your own free will now."

Jess laughed. "I guess I changed into crazy then, huh?"

Lorelai ignored the comment and continued. "Don't you dare tell Rory I said this but I've actually seen the good in you she told me about. And seeing her with you now feels right. Like somehow she was always going to end up back with you no matter what happened."

"And youre okay with that?" He couldn't help asking.

"I think I'm better than okay with that," she smiled. "Especially if you're a Travolta fan."

He smirked at her. "Just Saturday night fever."

"Eh, I'll have you watching Grease by next month," she teased.

"Why is Jess watching Grease?" Rory asked as she walked out of the bedroom.

"She thinks she'll get me to like it just because I like Saturday night fever," he told her as she walked to him and put her arm around his waist.

Rory laughed. "I tried to get him to watch it once. It was not a success."

Lorelai's face fell. "Oh, come on! Bad boy falls for the good girl, one girl defies her parent's ideas for her future to follow her own heart. Doesn't it sound like it was made for you?"

"No," he shook his head. "Because there's no way I'm gonna be singing 'Go, grease lightening'."

"I'll make you sing it," Rory whispered and her mother made a gagging noise.

"Dirty," she said when she was finished mocking.

Jess smirked and put his arm around her waist while his girlfriend changed the subject in a louder voice. "Evan's still waiting on you, by the way."

"Is Luke ever coming out?" Lorelai asked.

"I think he's trying to hide in there for now," Rory said.

Jess removed his hands from Rory's waist and kissed her quick. "Be right back."

Once he was gone, Lorelai grinned at her daughter. Rory was confused a moment. "What?"

"Nothing," she shook her head. "Just, we got good ones, didn't we?"

Rory smiled widely and looked down then back up with a nod. "Yeah, we did."

...

The next morning came faster than expected. Luke packed up all of their stuff and waited for his wife as she said goodbye. Evan was already in the car, his goodbyes said.

"So this is it," Lorelai said to her daughter.

Rory nodded tearfully. "Is it immature to say this week has been great and I don't want you to go?"

Lorelai shook her head and let out a laugh. Her own eyes were wet, too. "No, not at all."

She hugged her mother as best as she could. "Call as soon as you get back to Stars Hollow."

"I'll call five minutes after we leave," she confirmed which made Rory smile.

"You ready?" Luke asked his wife as he climbed into the car as well.

She mouthed one more minute to her husband. "I love you, kid."

"Love you, mom," Rory replied.

"Come on," Jess said to his girlfriend once the two women stopped hugging. He put his arm around her waist.

Lorelai walked to the car and got into the passenger seat. She made a motion with her finger for Rory to come closer. Her daughter came willingly, Jess still holding onto her.

"One more thing," she whispered.

Rory waited. "What's that?"

"Your boyfriend doesn't snore as much as he used to," Lorelai smiled.

Rory laughed and wiped the tears off of her face. "No, he doesn't."

"Why the obsession with snoring?" Jess asked which just made the two Gilmore's laugh more. He was glad to see the crying had stopped.

"Because its fun," Rory said and kissed his cheek.

Lorelai made an aww sound while Evan had a different reaction. "Gross!"

"To you, maybe," Jess told him. "Just wait, kid."

"Hey!" Lorelai said. "No telling my kid to wait until he likes that. He's my baby boy and he's gonna stay my baby boy."

"Youre gonna mess him up, you know that?" Luke asked.

"Yes, I do," she beamed.

He started the car and waved to the younger couple. "We'll see you in a few weeks for christmas, right?"

"Yes," Rory nodded.

Jess groaned. "Can't they just come here instead of us going there?"

"Nope," Lorelai answered. "See you on what better be a white Christmas."

"Bye," Rory waved to the three of them as they finally drove out of the space. She turned to Jess once the car was gone. "I can't believe the week is over."

"Me, either," he told her and smirked. "Want to go upstairs?"

She hit him on the chest playfully. "Is that all you think about?"

"I think about sunshine and flowers and...no, wait," he smirked bigger.

"Pig," she said with a small smile.

"I'm teasing," Jess said. "You know I think of more than that."

"I do know," she nodded.

"Come on," he said and took her hand and started walking back upstairs.

She laughed. "Are you really bringing me up for that as soon as my mom is gone?"

"I'm bringing you up because my wallet is upstairs," he answered. "And because I know you. You may have eaten breakfast not too long ago but you're probably hungry so I'm taking you out for lunch."

She smiled brightly. "You do know me."

"I told you I did, didn't I?" He smirked as he looked behind at her.

Her smile faded as she thought of when he first said that in her dorm eleven years earlier and she had objected. Then her mind flipped to outside the bar, after dinner with Logan, this time she didn't object. It had been longer since they were together yet she didn't mind him stating it then.

"Hey, Jess?" She asked once inside.

He turned to her fully this time, noticing the more serious tone to her words. "Yeah?"

"You really do know me better than anyone," she said. "Probably even more than my mom."

"Okay," he said softly.

"I just..." She took a deep breath. "I just needed you to know. When you first said it, I lied and said you don't because I was still hurt. But you do."

He nodded once, unable to speak. Jess wasn't really sure of what to say back. "Okay."

"Okay," she repeated.

The two went back upstairs to their apartment and he grabbed his wallet. Rory grabbed her phone she didn't have with her and snapped a pic of him quick. It came out blurry but it was hers and after all, he had promised she could take pictures of him.

...

The next morning, Rory finds herself still thinking of his teasing smile as he said to her that he knows her best. She gets up first this morning and climbed off the bed. Instead of heading to the kitchen to make coffee, she stood there and watched him.

Jess is fast asleep on his stomach. He's not wearing a shirt and his face is on the pillow, left side up. The sheets don't cover him fully so she clearly sees his back muscles. Rory stared at her boyfriend, a smile on her lips.

Finally, she started the coffee but returned to the doorway. She leaned on the frame and smiled. He began to move once the coffee smell carried through the room. As he turned on his back, the first thing he noticed was Rory.

Jess smirked at her. "Take a picture. It'll last longer."

"Maybe I will," she grinned and grabbed her phone off of her dresser.

"Oh, no," he covered his face. "I didn't actually mean do it."

"You promised me pictures, remember?" She reminded him and snapped a picture of him still in the bed with his hands near his face but not covering it.

"If you want ones without a shirt, all you have to do is ask," he said.

Rory turned red despite herself. "But the candid shots are so much fun."

"I'm sure you'll be thinking the same thing when I do it to you," he got out of bed and stood in front of her now.

"You wouldn't dare," she replied.

"Wouldn't I?" He challenged with a raise of his eyebrow.

She searched his eyes for any sign he was kidding. When she found none, Rory gave up. "Fine. But I get pictures of you more often then."

"Fine," he nodded then kissed her quickly. "Its a deal."

Jess walked over to his own phone and held it up. He snapped a picture of Rory of his own and she stuck her tongue out at him. He laughed and taped on the screen a few times. When he was done, he held it out for her to see.

"Please tell me youre not keeping that," she said as she looked at the new photo of herself as Jess' wallpaper.

"Oh, no," he said and pulled the phone away from her. "That one's sticking."

"Then I guess I just have to..." Rory held her phone up in retaliation. Right as she clicked to take the picture, Jess held up his middle finger with a huge grin on his face. "Oh, nice."

"Didn't say I'd make it easy," he said and walked out of the room.

Rory smiled anyway and set the picture as her own wallpaper. She grinned and followed him out, instantly showing him. "Aha."

"Emily Gilmore will be so proud that's your wallpaper," he told her with a smirk.

She rolled her eyes. "Because I'm showing my grandmother a picture of my shirtless boyfriend flipping off the camera?"

He shrugged. "Hey, I don't know what you do or don't show her."

She laughed. "Silly. This is for me."

"Yeah?" He said and moved closer to her. "So's this."

He kissed her intensely and feverishly. Rory blushed but wrapped her arms around his neck, phone still in hand. It was that moment that she thought as much as she loved her mother, Luke and Evan, she was glad they were alone.

"I'm very glad we have the apartment to ourselves again," he murmered against her lips.

"I was just thinking the same thing," she said.

"Huh," Jess smirked and leaned in again.

Rory lifted herself up and wrapped her legs around his waist. He held her close as they headed back into the bedroom. Maybe the coffee would have to wait after all.
