Chapter 5 "Rory! Wake up!" Lorelai bounded into Rory's room, two giant mugs of coffee in her hands.

Rory stirred and sat up rubbing her eyes. All of a sudden she jumped out of bed.

"I'm getting married today!" she shrieked

"Duh! Here, drink your coffee, take a shower, and meet me in my room in a half an hour sharp!" Lorelai ordered as she ran the shower

After both had showered, Lorelai put her dress on. It was lavender, and it flowed gracefully to the floor. She fixed her hair so that it was straight, and put small white flowers in it.

Now it was Rory's turn. She sat in her bathrobe as Lorelai pulled her hair back into a french twist. Of course, Rory too had the small white flowers tucked into the twist. Lorelai then did both of their makeup, and helped Rory into her dress.

Rory's dress was of course white, and it was long and flowy. It had a square neckline, and a beaded design on top.

The two Gilmore Girls stood in front of one another, as if mirror images. Lorelai began to tear up.

"Your mascara will run! Don't cry!" Rory smiled at her emotional mother.

Lorelai closed her eyes and nodded. "Ready?" she asked

Rory nodded her head. They walked outside of the house, and into the car that Emily and Ricahrd had sent over to take them to the church.

The Church

Luke and Jess were getting ready in a room the church had provided them with.

Jess was looking sharp in his tuxedo, and finishing up when Luke came up to him.

"Jess."

"Uncle Luke."

"If you do anything anything to Rory and that kid, I'll kill you." He threatened

"I know. Don't worry. I love her. I'm gonna love our kid." He reassured his uncle

Luke nodded. He knew Jess would never hurt them. "Ready?" he asked

Jess nodded, and followed Luke out into the church, and took his place at the altar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All of the guests had been seated. Everyone from Stars Hollow, even Dean had come to the wedding. Chilton friends, Emily and Richard's friends, even Christopher had come.

The music began.

"You look beautiful." Christopher whispered to Rory as he took her by the elbow and began to walk her down the long aisle.

She saw Miss Patty and Babette sitting together, dabbing their teary eyes. She looked the other way and saw Dean. His eyes were full of hurt and pain. Rory didn't need this right now. She looked down the aisle and saw Jess. He was smiling at her and she smiled back.

After what seemed like an eternity, she had made it down to the altar.

Jess took her small hand in his, and they turned to face the minister.

"Dearly beloved." He began "we are gathered here today to join this man, and this woman in holy matrimony." He continued

Rory felt the baby kicked and she looked down at her stomach, then back up at Jess who mouthed, "I love you." To her

All of a sudden, Jess was saying "I do."

"And do you, take Jess Mariano to be your husband?" the minister went on

"I do." She said clearly

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." He finished

Jess took Rory's hands and leaned down and gave her a sweet passionate kiss.

Applause filled the church, and the new couple ran out to the limo which took them to their reception at the Inn.

The reception

"Congratulations, suga." Babette was congratulating them as Lane and Lorelai ran in.

"I can't believe your married!" cried Lane as she, Rory, and Lorelai shared a group hug.

"Rory, dear, congratulations." Emily walked over and hugged Rory, as Richard shook Jess's hand.

"Thank you grandma."

"Now Rory, Jess, we'd like to talk to you two." Richard said taking them and Lorelai into a room.

"First. Lorelai?" he asked.

Lorelai produced two envelopes. On one of them, the logo printed was a Harvard logo, and on the other, a Boston College logo.

"These came yesterday." She explained

Rory tore into her envelope.

"Lorelai Leigh Gilmore the third." She read aloud "Congratulations! We are pleased to say that you have been accepted into Harvard University!" she shrieked "I made it!" Jess pulled her into a huge hug

"I'm so proud of you." He whispered into her ear

"Open yours Jess." She encouraged him

"Congratulations, you have been accpeted into Boston College!"

It was Rory's turn to hug him.

"congratulations! The both of you!" Lorelai hugged them both

"Now for the rest of your gifts." Emily continued. She pulled an envelope out of her bag, and pulled out two keys.

"For your apartment, in Boston." She explained

"Our own apartment." Rory said smiling at Jess

"Yes, there are two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and an extra room." Emily said

"Wow, thanks so much." Jess said squeezing Rory's hand.

"And last," Richard pulled another envelope out. Inside was a check for five hundred dollars. "You will receive five hundred a month once the baby is born."

"Thank you guys so much!" Rory hugged he grandparents.

"I'm so proud of you sweetie. Going to Harvard!" Lorelai exclaimed

"Well, we had better get back out there." Rory spoke up

Jess took her by the hand, and led her back out to the main room. For the rest of the evening, they were congratulated, and spent the time dancing and talking with friends.



All of Jess's things had been moved into the Gilmore house. They got home that night, and Rory was exhausted.

"You need rest." He ushered her upstairs and into bed.

"Will you read to me?" she asked. This had become a tradition.

"Of course." He kissed the top of her head, and she snuggled into his warm body, and fell asleep.
