Takes place right at the end of "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels" Jess and Rory are leaving together...will it be forever?
Thanks to all of the reviews I've been getting! I know this is really cliche and all but reviews are what show me people want more! If I stop getting reviews, I'll think people don't like the story and I'll delete it! Please keep on reviewing. I really appreciate all of you who've read it so far and thanks! Anything you see that needs fixing, feel free to PM me!
"Hey Lane. What happened? You look dead tired." Lorelai said pulling her almost daughter onto the couch beside her.
Lane shrugged. "Been looking for a place to live." She said through a mouth full of Twinkie.
"What? You know you're allowed here!" Lorelai exclaimed.
Lane didn't answer and took another bite of the Twinkie.
"Didn't want to be a hassle." She said nonchalantly.
"That's insane! You're never a hassle." Lorelai assured.
Lane smiled weakly and popped the last bit of the Twinkie in her mouth.
"Thanks Lorelai. I'll stay for a few more days, but I have to start looking for my own place."
"Sure kiddo, but hey - if you don't find one, I get another daughter without the pain of labor!" Lorelai smiled.
"Whoop-dee-dee" Lorelai grinned and balled her trash up in her fist.

"Well? I'm waiting." Luke crossed his arms across his chest and glared down at Jimmy.
"Luke, I came for more then one reason."
"Well let's here them both then!"
"One was because....I want custody of Jess."
"Custody?! You can't take custody of Jess! He's an adult now!WHERE WERE YOU WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP? WHERE WERE YOU WHEN HE WAS GETTING INTO TROUBLE? WHERE WERE YOU WHEN HE COULDN'T GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL? TELL ME JIMMY. WHERE. WERE. YOU?! And now you want custody? You've got to be kidding me. This is a joke, right?"
Jimmy looked away and slowly shook his head.
"Oh, so you're serious about this? You know he's not going to come with you. And I wouldn't let him-"
"YOU? He's MY son you dickhead!"
"Oh so NOW you want to be a father to him? Why? Why of all the times you could have come back, you chose to come and ask now?"
Jimmy doesn't respond.
"Jimmy!"
"Alright! Look it's a weird story okay? I just wanted to see my son when I saw the two of them leaving...why would a nice girl like her choose to leave with him? I mean he's nothing but a lying, stealing good for no-"
"HEY! Don't you DARE insult Jess like that! And you're saying you're his father?! And who Rory goes out with is none of your business! Heck it isn't really my business either and I'm like a father to her! " Luke shouted.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say to that woman on the phone that you have to bring them back?"
"That, is none of your business. What I discuss with Lorelai has nothing to do with you!"
"Luke-"
"And what was your other reason for coming anyway?"
"You see? That's what you get for cutting me off and not listening to my story!"
"I would've listened if you hadn't started insulting Jess!"
"You wanna know?"
"Fine Tell me. Tell me your big important reason that I'm sure is a very good reason because otherwise you wouldn't be here! And I'm sure you've thought alot about this reason because what's a good reason in your eyes usually means trouble for everyone else around you. So tell me this fascinating, well thought out, important, down to earth reason. Tell me Jimmy."
"I got Cheryl pregnant..."
Luke rolled his eyes, assuming Cheryl was his latest girlfriend.
"And she said she didn't want me around her kid. She told me that if I could prove I was a good father then I could be around the kid. So I came looking for Jess, hoping to convince him to pretend I helped him grow up. I heard he's changed alot since I saw him in California. But I saw him leaving with Rory, you said was her name? Anyways, I was watching him while he talked to her and obviously she loves him because there was no screaming, no yelling and she kissed him. So I knew he turned out okay. Then I remembered his mother probably had something to do with that. Something, not alot, but something. That's when I realized I still..."
"Still....?"
"I still love Liz."
Luke nearly exploded.
"YOU WHAT?!"
"I still love Liz."
"What about Cheryl?!"
"What about her Luke? She doesn't want me around! And don't you get it-"
"Get out Jimmy." Luke said quietly.
"Luke!"
"No, I don't want to hear any of this. You really can't make up your mind, can you?"
"I can! I've made it up! It's Liz!"
"No Jimmy. This week you'll say you love Liz. You'll make her fall for you again and then what? You'll leave her next week! Now get out!"
"I won't! I'll love her, and I'll tell her that. I'll make sure she has the best of everything, I'll tell her I love her everyday. I'll even paint the sky for her if she wants me to! Luke I love Liz!"
"Well that's just too bad for you, isn't? Because you want to know something? She's moved on! And she's not going to want you coming into her life again, acting as if nothing ever happened."
"Rory did it with Jess!"
"You don't even compare to Jess." Luke snarled. "And you don't even KNOW what happened between those two. I saw it in their eyes the very first time he saw her in this diner. They love each other, and just because Rory forgave Jess for something, doesn't mean, that Liz will do the same for you!" Luke finished, his voice dripping with deep hatred. He glared down at Jimmy. Waiting for his next excuse.
Instead, Jimmy knew he had lost the battle stood up and started to walk out.
"AND YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT TAKING JESS INTO CUSTODY! ONE BECAUSE ITS NOT LEGAL ANYMORE AND TWO BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE YOU!" Luke yelled behind him and slammed the door shut.

Rory woke facing a ceiling she did not recognize as her own. She was a little disoriented at first, but then quickly remembered how fast her life had changed last night. She turned over to see Jess watching her.
"Good morning sleepy head." He smiled.
"Morning..." She replied sleepily.
"Sleep well?"
She sat up and nodded. "Ouch! My head hurts like mad... Did I get drunk last night?"
"Yeah, on coffee. I told you that stuffs bad for you."
Rory giggled.
"Coffee sounds good right now." She smiled.
"Oh yeah?" Jess asked raising his eyebrows.
"Yup."
"Well to bad because I will not let you drink anymore for at least two days!" Jess laughed and kissed her.
Rory smiled under his lips and when he pulled away she pouted.
"Nothing last night and now fast kisses?"
Jess shrugged. "I have to be careful around you."
"Why?"
Jess shrugged. "I don't want to rush things, scared I'll mess them up."
Rory laughed. "You don't have to worry. It's not possible to mess things up right now."
"Oh yeah? Why's that?"
Rory shrugged. "Because I love you silly"
Jess grinned and pulled Rory closer into his arms and kissed the top of her head.
Please review :) I know, not my best, can't think of much right now.
