Later that week Jess was moved in and it was Lei's graduation, like her mother before her she had attended Chilton and graduated as valedictorian.

Headmaster DuGrey, faculty members, fellow students, family and friends, welcome. We never believed this day would arrive. We all wanted to leave and be out of here, we were counting down the days and hours but now this time has come, I'm sorry it has because it means leaving friends who encourage me and teachers who have guided me – so many people who have shaped my life and my peer's lives infinitely and forever. I have a love for fictional worlds of books and movies, as I have lived through adventures in this rewarding world I must say that my second world is by far superior.

It is populated with people who are less eccentric but far more real, full of care and love they are my ultimate inspiration for everything. Luke and Lorelai Danes are fun, caring and loyal to a fault, I couldn't have made it this far without them I am proud to call them my grandparents. Jess Mariano is the father figure in my life; he always told me to push the boundaries and inspired me to be who I want to rather than what everyone expects, and let me experience Hemmingway unlike my mother. However my ultimate inspiration comes from my best friend, the incredible women from whom I received my name and the better half of my genes, Lorelai (Rory) Gilmore.

My mother always told me I could do whatever I wanted and be whoever I want to be. She filled our house with love, fun, movies, music and books giving me role models from Ayn Rand, to Olive Pendergast. As she lead me through these phenomenal eighteen years, I don't know if she realized that the person I most wanted to be like was her.

Thank you, Mom. You are my guidepost for everything. I don't know where I would be without you.

As we prepare ourselves to leave today. . .

With that Rory spotted a familiar face in the crowd, "he's here she whispered to Jess." She would worry about this later.

As Lei's name was called Rory along with Lorelai stuck their tongues out at her and she pulled a face back, as they clapped louder than anyone else had for their kid. They really were so proud.

As they met later, she smiled at her daughter pulling her into a hug. "Your speech was wonderful you even had Jess crying," with this Lei grinned.

"I told you he was a softy."

"Really, thank you, it meant a lot." Jess said sincerely,

"I meant every word" she replied just as sincere.

At this point the man with blonde hair that Rory had spotted earlier appeared,

"Rory, Lei" he said a stoic expression on his face, he had heard the speech, of course he had and well there was going to be backlash.

"Father." Lei responded politely, Jess watched the pain flick behind her eyes at still having to endure the man who stood in front of her.

"Happy Graduation, and Valedictorian, you clearly follow in your mother's footsteps" the tension was parable "Look, your eighteen, and I know I haven't been a very good father, but I wanted to, I really did, good luck, with your life I won't bother you unless you want me to. Goodbye Lorelai Gilmore"

As both his girls watched him go they knew Logan was gone forever. Lei turned to Jess "Can we go home Dad?" With that he pulled her in for a hug and replied as he always had done, "Sure Baby Girl".

The Gilmore girls would never see Logan Huntzberger again, however that was okay, they had Jess now. He had moved in and within the year proposed.

Lei was finishing up her second year of college and her parents were getting married they had found their way back to each other and she was pleased, even Lorelai had warmed to Jess.

It may have taken them some time to get there, but they finally had their happy ever after.
