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?

Ahh!! Sorry I haven't updated. Been busy with stuff. But I promise I'll pick up the slack now! This chapter starts off with a summary of Jess and Rory, but then it comes back to present day. The summary does not include how the other characters lives went, just assume they went normal. (Lorelai yells at Michele about something, Jackson has a bad crop, Suki experiments...etc.)

Disclaimer: I should've mentioned this before, I do not own the show or characters of the show. Any characters that have not appeared at this point in the show but appear later (Logan, Gigi, April etc.) Will not appear in the first story. Any other minor characters I do own. Any songs I do own, unless of course I say otherwise.

Rory was loving living with Jess. Every day was a new adventure, and he never failed to surprise her. They made love every other night and explored the city together. Occasionally Jess refused to tell Rory where he was taking her and they'd end up at an exotic beach, a clandestine club, a famous music store, or just at a beautiful park. But what Rory loved most about being with Jess is that he never did anything wrong. Despite the rough bumps in the road the two of them had experienced, Jess had out grown his brashness, and become more responsible. Rory couldn't help thinking about what caused this. At times she'd feel guilty about leading him on in the past, and then running back to Dean. But by the way Jess looked at her, with loving eyes and a soft smile, she knew he had forgiven her. She stayed with him for far more than a week, and to be honest, she didn't miss Stars Hollow as much as she had thought she would.

Everything was going great.

Until one Friday morning she threw up three times in a row and the shocking truth dawned upon her.

---

Lorelai was ecstatic about her date with Luke. She had no idea what to wear, and since Rory was somewhere on the planet with Jess, she had to figure it out all by herself. At times she had considered asking Babette for help, but decided against it when she remembered the two of them had different tastes on what to wear on a date. She was so busy digging through a pile of blouses that she didn't hear the front door open.

"Lorelai?"

Lorelai straightened up, as fast as lightening.

Grabbing a wire hanger, she crept towards the bedroom door.

"WHO'S THERE?!" She shouted, ready to hit the stranger.

"Lorelai!" Emily cried in shock as she came up the stairs and spotted Lorelai holding the hanger.

"Mom!?"

"Yes I'm your mother! I thought that by now you'd know what the woman who gave you birth would look like." Emily replied haughtily.

Lorelai groaned. "No, mom. I know who you are! Just...what are you doing here?!" She eyed Emily's fancy attire and an eyebrow slowly rose.

"I'm here because neither you nor Rory have attended Friday night dinner for two weeks!"

Lorelai slapped her forehead. "Oh, mom! Rory's out of town-"

"But it's winter break."

"Yes, it is. But a friend of hers came by and she left with him-"

"Him?"

Lorelai silently scolded herself for letting that detail slip.

"Yes mom, a him."

"Which him? Is it Dean?"

"No, mom. It's not Dean. He and Rory have been broken up for ages now! You knew that."

"Oh well, it must've slipped my mind..." Emily said nonchalantly, looking around the messy hallway

"Right, slipped your mind."

"Well then if it's not Dean, is it Marty? Her friend from Yale?"

"No mom."

"Well then who is it?"

"I don't think that's really of your concern." Lorelai turned away and walked back into her room.

"It very well is - What on earth happened in here?!" Emily asked her eyes falling upon the moutains of clothes. "It looks like a volcano erupted!"

Lorelai shrugged. "I'm going out tonight."

"Ah, I see. Not to my dinner, I suppose?"

"Mom! I'm sorry I forgot about Friday night dinner! Last Friday I had work with the inn and tonight-"

"You had other plans?"

Lorelai groaned again. "Yes mom, I'm sorry but when Luke asked me I completely forgot-"

"Luke?" Emily cut across.

Lorelai scolded herself again.

"Yes mom, Luke. He's taking me to dinner and a movie."

"Ah, I see."

Lorelai nodded.

"Well, I won't keep you waiting. Good night Lorelai." Emily turned around and left the room.

Lorelai sighed exasperatedly. "Mom, wait!" She called and ran after Emily.

Emily was halfway down the stairs. She stopped and looked up.

"What is it Lorelai? I can't stay forever you know. I have other plans for tonight."

"Mom...I'll come over for dinner tommorrow."

Emily smiled lightly. "That's wondeful! We'll see you and Rory there. Goodbye."

"Wait, Rory? Mom-" But Lorelai wasn't quick enough because the front door open and closed and Emily was gone.

Crap. Now what?

---

Luke drove up to Lorelai's house and nervously parked outside. "Okay...this is going to be okay." He said to himself. He got out of his truck and walked towards the front door. He was about to knock when Lorelai opened it.

"Hi, Luke!" She grinned.

"Lorelai! You... You look beautiful." Luke said, taking in her knee length navy dress, black pumps, and silver jewlery.

Lorelai grinned. "You don't look so bad yourself." She replied, eyeing his dark jeans, black shirt and leather jacket. "No flannel shirt I see. Or a baseball cap." She added.

Luke smiled. "Well, it is a date. So, you ready?"

Lorelai nodded.

"Great, let's go!"

He led her to the truck and opened her door for her.

"Wow...such a gentleman!" Lorelai smiled and got in.

Luke blushed and went to his side. He got inside and backed away from Lorelai's house.

"So, where are we going? Are you sticking to the dinner and movie, or are you changing it up a bit?"

"You'll see."

"Is it a surprise?!" Lorelai started jumping up and down in her seat.

Luke nodded.

"Ooo. What kind of a surprise?"

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise."

"I'll pretend to forget!"

Luke shook his head. "No hints." He said firmly.

Twenty minutes later, they pulled up in front of a comfortable looking diner.

Luke opened Lorelai's door and she attempted to get out, but had forgotten her seatbelt.

"Oops!" She laughed and unbuckled it.

"Wow! This place looks so cute!" She admired the seventies homestyle deacor.

Luke nodded. "Let's grab a table." He suggested and led Lorelai through a maze of tables.

"Luke, we just passed alot of tables-" She was cut of by a gasp.

"Reserved for Luke Danes?" She read the card outloud.

Luke nodded and motioned for Lorelai to sit. He followed her into the booth.

"Wow. This place is...amazing." Lorelai admired the cabin like walls, that matched the red and white checkered table cloths. The booths and chair were either red, black or white. Soft music played and Lorelai could see a bar in the far corner. An elderly woman came up to their table holding a pad and pencil.

"Hi Luke! What can I get you?" She asked.

"Hi, Estelle. Um..." He turned to look at Lorelai.

"What?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Oh! Um...let's see." She picked up a menu from a small black menu holder and opened it. "I'll just take the chicken."

"And Luke?"

"Oh, I'll have the same. And two beers please."

"Got it." Estelle wrote the order down and went back to the counter.

"Luke? Estelle? You've been here before!"

Luke shrugged. "Yeah well...Do you like it?"

Lorelai smiled. "I love it."

Please review :) I tried recreating Luke and Lorelai's first date, but it might not have gone so well. Tell me what you thought? Oh and, next chapter will be up today. I swear.
