I don't own Gilmore girls

Rory and Lorelai held each other until Lorelai finally pulled away and brushed her daughter's hair out of her face. "I'm glad you came." She whispered.

"Thank Jess he's the one who got me here I'm not sure I would have managed it on my own."

"Oh Lorelai turned to Jess. "Thank you."

"Hey it's no problem." Jess waved it away. "How about I run to the diner and get us all some food."

"That sounds like a plan I'll come with you." Luke said getting up and following Jess to the door on the way he stopped and kissed Lorelai's forehead. "I'll be right back."

"Bring me pie please."

"me too." Rory requested. "Coming right up." Luke said. The two men left the crap shack leaving the Gilmore girls in their grief.

"Jess it was a big deal you know that right you dropped everything rushed to New York and got her here.

"It was really nothing." Jess said. "She's my friend that's what you do for friends."

"Jess you last saw her a year ago I wouldn't really classify you as friends."

"Well we are." Jess said defensively."

"Okay." Luke said as they walked into the dinner and started food for the four of them by the time they left they were well loaded down.

Well the guys were gone the girls were talking. "He died of a heart attack. Grandma found him in his study after breakfast." Lorelai said wiping her tears away.

"Poor Grandma." Rory's lip wobbled.

"Yeah Sookie is making a bunch of food and after we eat I think me and you should take it over to her. Then we need to help her with all the arrangements that need to be made. Her and dad were pretty meticulous but even they weren't as prepared as Grandma Lorelai was."

"I remember that." Rory shuddered at the thought of the last funeral she'd been too.

Lorelai really wanted to ask why her daughter had called Jess of everyone but held her tounge Rory was here and in the end that was all that mattered.

"We come with food for all." Luke said coming through the door bags in hand and jess behind him. The men placed the bags down and the women pounced on them.

"Luke's burger's how I've missed you." Rory crooned to one she took out of the bag along with some onion rings and the coffee Luke handed her. "Luke you are a god."

"I keep telling him that." Lorelai pipped in.

"Hey I helped you know." Jess said sitting down beside Rory.

"Well it's still Luke's food but I guess we can call you a mini god." Rory said.

"Well thank you." Jess rolled his eyes.

"you are welcome." Rory smirked taking a bite out of her burger. When everyone was done and the food was put away the girls gathered their bags. Lorelai kissed Luke and Rory hugged Jess.

"Where are you two off too?" Luke asked.

"Have to help my mom with the planning." Lorelai sighed. "We might just stay there for the night easier then driving back and I'm sure we'll all be emotionally drained.

"Okay well we'll be here when you get home. Do you need us to come with you to help with anything?"

"Oh Luke that's sweet and all but no we have this covered. Lorelai assured him knowing he wanted anything but to be stuck with Emily but loving him for offering. Jess wanted to say something but didn't know what he should say what was appropriate or would be apricated.

"Will you still be here when I get back?" Rory asked him.

"I'm here as long as you need me. I figure that's at least until the funeral and if you need me longer well Chris and Matt know where I am. Unless you want me to leave that's okay too."

"No, no." Rory rushed to assure him. "I want you here thank you for being here." She held the tears back that were threatening to fall. "I'll see you when I get back thank you" she whispered before following her mother out to the jeep.

"Okay kid I Have to know why Jess?"

"What do you mean why Jess?"

"Of everyone you could have called you called him why?"

"Honestly I don't know it felt right. He was the person I thought of I just don't know. I honestly didn't want to come home if It wasn't for Jess I probably would still be in New York, then again he's always pushing me to do the right thing. Come here go back to Yale maybe that's why I called him because I needed that push.

"Whoa back up Yale?"

"Yeah he came to show me his book we went to dinner with Logan we got into a fight he yelled at me about Yale it was the push I needed to go back." Rory shrugged and Lorelai just looked at her daughter stunned about this new revelation.

"Wow kid you're just full of surprises aren't you."

"Hmm I guess." She sighed as they made their way to Hartford.

There was no Maid answering the door so they let themselves in and found Emily sitting at the table staring into space. "mom." Lorelai said.

"Oh Lorelai." Emily jumped. "Rory." She said standing up and rushing to her daughter and granddaughter hugging them so they almost couldn't breathe.

"Mom Oxyagny it's a must for life." Lorelai said.

"Oh Lorelai." Emily scowled. "Rory it's great to see you I'm sorry it wasn't under better circumstances. Thank you for coming.

"of course Grandma." Rory felt like she was chocking up again.

"Okay mom What needs to be done?" Lorelai said not wanting to dwell on the sad.

"Oh yes well here it is?" she waved at the table and for the first time the girls noticed it was littered with papers.

"Okay lets get to work. The three Gilmore girls sat down to go over the preparations that would be needed hammering everything or almost everything out. They had some of the food Sookie had sent over and finally they had all fallen into bed exhausted mentally, emotionally and physically. Richards funeral would be in a week. Life would spin on and none of them were really sure how they would all deal in the aftermath.
