A/N: Hi, I'm sorry but I've been a real funk for the past like 5-ish months and I've been writing for very little and I just got stuck with this story so I thought it best to just take a long break and come back to it. Which was a really good idea because I have a lot more ideas now. So I'm sorry but you'll be getting better quality because of the wait.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
"Why did we do this again?" Will asked as they stepped out of the car Saturday morning, early Saturday morning.
"Because it was Jess' birthday and that concert was amazing," Rory suggested stretching and looking up at the house that her, her parents, her brother and her boyfriend lived in.
"Oh yeah," Will muttered picking up the trios luggage and moving toward the house.
"It was really great," Jess murmered into Rory's ear as they walked up the steps.
"Yeah it was," Rory smiled back at him.
Just then as Rory and Jess were sharing there moment and Will was pulling a disgusted face that would have probably gotten him hit, the door opened and out came an overdressed and flambouyant Lorelai.
"Alright Jess its time to give you a proper introduction into the town and now during your birthday celebrations seems like the perfect time. Today is very full and we must get started, we have to introduce you to all the people you haven't met and invite people to your party, then we have the family celebrations, the party and finally presents, this could last for quite a while so we are making our first stop at the diner to get lots and lots of coffee to be served to us by the lovely Ceasar because Luke is currently making like the alpha male and putting up the heavy decorations, Rory you should probably go help and/or stand under him and ask him what each and every little thing is so that he doesn't get to un-annoyed," Lorelai said amicably and putting her arm through Jess' setting down his stuff and moving him off into the town.
"Well this reminds me of our fifth birthday party," Rory mumbled before taking her and Jess' stuff into the house then moving to find her dad. "Hey, dad,"
"Hey baby, how was the concert?" Luke asked good-naturedly from where he was hanging a banner.
"It was awesome, I mean it was the Sex Pistols, and there were so many different people there, it was just amazing." Rory gushed sitting on the couch arm to watch.
"Did Jess have fun?" Luke asked half scared that Jess would have thought it was charity and not excepted it, but he seemed to be understanding that he was apart of the family and it didn't really matter that's just what they did.
"Yeah he really did, I was so glad to because I was thinking he wouldn't like it half the time but I mean it's the Sex Pistols reunion the only thing better for him would be a Ramones concert, and I don't think that that will happen anytime soon," Rory said smiling at the look on her fathers face. "Hey, dad?"
"Hmm?" Luke asked starting to get down off the ladder.
"Do you like Jess?" Rory asked then continued when she saw Luke's confused expression, "I mean I know you like him but if you just met him on the street and didn't know that he was your nephew or didn't know that we were dating, then do you think you would like him?"
"Yeah… honestly I think I would, he's a lot like your mom, sarcastic, smart, and according to you cute. They have a lot in common and I think that she see's that, so naturally I do too, plus I'm not sure I can look at him objectively he's become such a big part of our lives that I can't really separate it, it's like if you would ask me if I would like you if we met on the street, I'm to biased I can't honestly answer that question besides with the answer I don't know. Me and your mom have raised you to be who you are, I mean I know that there is something to say about nature, but we did shape who you are and so of course I would like you." Luke said sitting right next to where she was currently on the couch.
"Are you saying you like me?" Rory said in her best pout-y voice, which was pretty good considering who her mother was.
"To much like your mother do you know that? But seriously your great kid, just like your mom, and I think that she's really proud of that. Your like her smart, independent, can make anything into a joke, but you have your own faults and strengths to, you tend to be more secluded…sometimes I think that's my fault, but when you do trust people you trust them completely do you know how long it took me to get your mom to trust me? That's another reason that your mom and you are so close I think, when your grandmother shuned her it hurt because no matter that they didn't really connect it was still her mom that wont talk to her and refuses to see her grandkids…hell she's only ever seen Jess and that was on accident. Me and your mom just want everything for you and I think that Jess does to, you guys seem so like Will and Lane its creepy, it bothers me some that you guys seem so together and permanent, that's one of the things that I regret that your mom didn't get to do and see more, but I think that you've never done one thing that you weren't serious about so why would you start messing around with dating?" Luke smiled hugging Rory closer to him and smiling.
"You do know that you just spoke more than four sentences right?" Rory asked giggling a little.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but just know that I love you babe," Luke said kissing Rory's hair.
"I love you too dad," Rory said smiling at the banner Luke had just hung up.
"I wonder if your mom realizes that these parties are more for you guys than they are for the actual people you throw them for?" Luke pondered after a long pause.
"Oh trust me she knows," Rory smiled up at her dad, "I'm going to go unpack,"
"Okay, oh and when your done could you wrap this for me?" Luke asked handing her a box from Amazon that had been open and re-taped.
"What's in it?" Rory asked excitedly holding it up to her ear.
"Jess' present," Luke said casually
"Why didn't mom wrap it?" Rory asked
"You'll see when he opens it." Luke smiled and went back to putting up the banner.
"Okay," Rory smiled and ran into her room to un-pack and wrap.
A tired looking Jess and a hyper Lorelai returned home about an hour later. Jess fell onto the couch next to Rory resting his head on her shoulder.
"Kill me, please?" Jess asked frowning up at Rory.
"Now where would the fun be in that?" Rory asked picking up his head and kissing him gently.
"No PDA," Lorelai shouted hiding behind her hand.
"It's not public we're in our house so really it's just a DA," Jess argued going back to kissing Rory.
"Well no DA's either then," Luke said from where he was checking on the food for their family dinner.
"You ruin everything." Jess shouted into the kitchen.
"And I do it happily," Luke shot back.
"How much coffee has she had since you guys left?" Rory questioned Jess poking him in the ribs while staring at her mother.
"Sadly only one," Jess said shaking his head at Lorelai who was now excitedly flipping through the party details.
"So Rory how many pizzas do you think we'll need for tonight?" Lorelai asked.
"How many people are coming?" Rory asked sitting back into the couch.
"Everyone except Taylor who apparently thinks that Jess is a 'hooligan'" Lorelai said shaking her head.
"Wow aren't we just little Mr. Popular?" Rory said shocked looking over at Jess.
"You'll keep them away from me won't you?" Jess asked slightly scared.
"Don't worry we'll protect you," Rory said soothing Jess.
"Dinner's ready," Luke said poking his head around the hall.
