(Rory's point of view)

Grandma, Mom, and Liz have been busy helping to get our wedding ready. I have been really busy with work Jess has too. I actually bought my dress here in New York. All the girls came up and I found my wedding dress. It was a corset top and a full lacy skirt.

Jess and the men actually got their suits in New York also. Jess and I picked out our rings too. Almost everything else was being handled in Stars Hallow or Hartford. I was lucky to have our families.

We decided to be married at the Dragon Fly. It was prefect. The flowers were red roses. And everything was red and white. Mom was my Matron of Honor, Lane, April, and Liz was my bridesmaids. Gigi was my junior bridesmaid. Martha and Doula were my slower girls. Lane's boys were the ring bearers.

Luke was Jess' bestman. Chris, Mathew, and Davy were Jess' groomsmen. Dad walked me down the aisle. Grandpa officiated our wedding. It was prefect. The ceremony was short and simple. Rachel Luke's ex-girlfriend actually agreed to do our pictures.

The reception was full of people. Everyone from Stars Hallow showed up. Also all of my Hartford friends and shown. I was shocked to see Finn and Colin. I kept wondering if Logan would show up. I was a little worried that he might do something.

"Ace you look beautiful. I always knew you would make a beautiful bride." Logan said coming up to me. "Logan how are you?" I asked. "Much better than the last time you saw me. I'm dating someone and I'd like you to meet her." He said. "Is she with you?" I asked. "Yes she with Colin, Finn, and their dates." Logan answered. "Then let's go." I said.

Colin was standing very close to Steph. Rosemary and Juliet were talking with Finn. I didn't see any other girl. Was he dating one of them? I actually liked them. He smiled as we walked over.

"Reporter girl congrates." Colin said. "Thank you Colin and thank you all for coming." I said. "You remember Steph right?" Colin questioned. "Yes of coarse I do." I said as we hugged quickly. "You make a pretty bride where did you get your dress?" She asked. "In New York." I answered. "I thought about going there would you want to join me Colin and I finally set a date." Steph said. "Sure I'll give you my card." I said.

"You remember my wife Rosemary don't you Luv?" Finn questioned. "You got married." I said in shock. "We eloped three weeks ago. My parents are so upset." Rosemary said. I smiled and said. "Well weddings are a lot of work." "Ace um I'd like you to meet my girlfriend Juliet." Logan said. I laughed and asked. "Have you eaten anything?" "Yes a lot Logan has money." She answered laughing.

Jess joined us after a while. I introduced him to everyone. I was impressed that he was nice. We all sat down. Everyone started talking Rory and Jess stories. It was funny. Jimmy showed up with his new girlfriend. Jess was happy to see his Dad so happy. No one mentioned how young she was.

Paris caught my bouquet much to her dismay. Finn caught the garter. We did our first dance to When I Look Into Your Eyes by Firehouse. Jess had let me pick with the promise of no pop or country hits. Dad and I danced to My Girl by The Temptations. Then I danced with Luke to I Loved Her First by Heartland. Luke looked like he might cry.

Jess and Liz danced to Sweet Child O'Mine by Guns.. Liz had picked it. Jess loved it. They are truly crazy. I was shocked that Grandma was being so cool about the music. It was probably because everyone was having a good time. I danced with a lot of people. Jess and I both were getting tired.

After we cut the cake everyone satrted to leave. We all danced a little more. Mom then told Jess and I to go on inside. She had given us the best room at the Dragon Fly. I was happy that Mom didn't put any realatives near us. Though Miss Patty made me blush the next morning. She asked how my night was she assumed good considered the bed kept scrapping against her ceiling.

The family stuck around to watch us open our gifts the next morning. Jess and I couldn't believe all the gifts and money we received. Then Lane and Zack came by to tell us good bye.

Jess and I went to Italy. It was amazing. We only stayed a week. It was prefect. We did a little site seeing. Though we spent most of our time eating, drinking, and making love.

(Jess' Point of view)

Rory has been acting so strange. She's been sick and tired. I can't seem to get her to slow down. I'm really worried. I called Mom. She told me not to worry too much. She was sure Rory would be fine. I hoped she was right.

After another week went by I kept asking if she was okay. She said she needed to talk to me. I was at work. I told her I'd be home as soon as I could. I couldn't believe how scared she sounded. I only had bad thoughts in my head. What if she isn't happy with me anymore? What if she found someone else?

When I got home I didn't see Rory. I was about to call out her name when I heard something. She was vomiting again. I was really worried. I started thinking about her being sick. I started thinking maybe she is really sick. I couldn't lose her. I would die too.

"Rory?" I questioned as she came out of the bathroom. "Jess I have something important to tell you. I think you should sit down." She said. We both sat on the couch. "Honey what's wrong?" I asked looking at her scared face.

"Jess, Jess I'm pregnant." Rory said sobbing. I slowly got up and pulled her into my arms and said. "Baby please calm down. Shhh it's okay. You need to calm down getting upset isn't good for the baby." "Are you mad at me?" She asked. "Why would I be mad?" I questioned back confused.

"We never talked about kids. And that night in Italy we forgot the condom." She rambled. "Rory I'm not mad. And that night was as much my fault as yours. I want kids." I said quickly. "You do? Now though?" She asked.

"Ror I will never leave you or our baby. I'm ready." I said. She smiled and said. "I trust you Jess and I love our baby already." "Me too we are having a baby." I said still amazed. She nodded as we kissed. We were ready to be parents and I knew together we could do it.

(Rory's point of view)

"Push Rory come on and give us a big push." The doctor yelled. "Come on Ror push Baby." Jess said as I started pushing again and squeezing tight. "I can't do this anymore." I said crying. "Just one more big push." The nurse said. I started pushing again. "It's a boy." I heard the doctor say.

The baby started crying. They cleaned him and handed him to me. I couldn't help it I started to cry again. He was beautiful. He was so prefect.

"What is his name?" The nurse asked. "Lucas Christopher Mariano." I said smiling. "I should go tell everyone." Jess said. "We'll get your wife cleaned up then the family can come back." One of the nurses said. "He's got a great set of lungs." I said as he cried.

Mom was first through the door. "Where is my grandson?" She asked. The nurse handed him to her. The rest of the family all took turns holding him. "What's his name?" Grandma asked. "Lucas Christopher Mariano." I answered. I saw both Luke and Dad faces. They both looked like they might cry.

I couldn't believe how much my life had changed. Jess and I getting back together has been like the best dream I have ever had. It all started with one event.
