Chapter 9 – Their Happily Ever After. (Epilogue)

It's been five years since that day when Jess and Rory got back together and since Lorelai decided to make things right with her soul-mate. Whoever that is…but I'm sure you all know who he is. But first I'll start out with Jess and Rory.

Jess and Rory are now around 23 and are happily engaged. Jess was smart and actually went to school and he actually tried. And since he actually tried in high school he graduated high school at the top of his class, along with Rory, (who was Valedictorian). Rory and Jess decided that they wanted to go to collage together and ended up settling on Yale. Which both were both accepted to and graduated from; still at the top of their class. Their relationship went through its low times and its good times but ultimately it stayed strong. At their collage graduation Jess finally proposed and Rory said yes and now they are happily engaged. They now live in their own house in Stars Hallow and Jess now helps Andrew run the bookstore and also works part time at a publishing house not far from Stars Hallow. Rory works at a local newspaper and also helps Andrew with the bookstore whenever she can. Their life is simple but they are happy and are planning on getting married in November, probably one of the last weeks in November. Rory is hoping that it will snow on their wedding day and although he won't admit it, Jess would be thrilled if it did. Like Rory always said, 'good things happen when it snows'.

After that night when Lorelai called her soul-mate, as in which probably everyone knows is Luke, things have been going steady for them. He proposed two years after they got together and were happily married on July tenth. The whole town attended and talked about how they always knew Luke and Lorelai would end up together. Luke and Lorelai were happy. They had their first child together a year later, a girl, and named her Hayley Emma Gilmore-Danes. Their second child came a year later and it was a son, Jayden Martin Gilmore-Danes. Jayden and Emma love their big sister Rory and their cousin Jess. Rory and Jess actually baby-sit them and spend time with them a lot. Rory says it's getting them ready for when they have a baby, which both of them are excited about. Luke still runs the diner and Lorelai still runs the inn and they live together with Jayden and Emma in the house that Rory grew up in, although they did have to remodel to make more room for the kids. They are happy with their children and not a day goes by where Lorelai isn't thankful that she called Luke that night and told him that she loved him. If she hadn't where would they be now…?

As for Dean, he left town right after Rory and Jess got back together. He dropped out of high school and moved back to Chicago and since he didn't have a high-school diploma and didn't even try to get his GED he works as a janitor at one of the local schools. He isn't married and he doesn't have a girlfriend. He says it's because he never found anyone after Rory. He lives in a crappy one-bedroom apartment and is miserable.

As for the rest of Stars Hallow, the town got along just fine. Their coffee queen and the grumpy diner man got married and their town princess and the town hoodlum are now happily engaged and they are all excited. Taylor still regularly bugs Luke and Jess about decorating the diner and says that Jess is a criminal and is always doing something wrong, even though Jess hasn't pulled a prank in years. Kirk still is his crazy self but he is now married to Lulu, which everyone is surprised about because they never thought that they would ever see Kirk get married but he did and is happy, they are even expecting a child. Kirk hopes it's a boy so they can name him Kirk Jr. Gypsy still runs the auto shop and Andrew still runs the bookstore. Patty and Babette are still the gossip queens. They still have their cell-phones plastered to their ears relying gossip to one another 24/7. Even the town troubadour is still happily playing his guitar and singing his tunes. Sounds like everything and everyone in Stars Hallow is getting along just fine. They all had happy endings too.

Everything turned out fine and they all had their happily-ever-after that they had always wanted.
