I know, I know I've been rubbish but I have really been struggling with writer's block recently and coming up with ideas. Plus life has kind of got in the way as well. Anyway, I realised my best stories were the ones when Lorelai had twins instead of just Rory and I've realised I enjoy writing those the stories the most.

So this is another twin story but with a twist. In this one, Lorelai and Luke are already together and have been for a few years. This will start during the episode that Jess appears for the first time. Oh and in this one, Rory and Dean stayed broken up after the first break up. I hope you are all still with me and I hope you enjoy it! :)

Chapter 1

"Can I come with you to meet him at the bus?" Lily asked.

"And let you skive school? Your mom would kill me." Luke said.

"Please?" She begged.

"Nope."

"Please?" She pouted.

"That's not going to work." Luke said.

Lily sighed as Lorelai came rushing into the diner. "I need doughnuts. Your sister is driving me crazy! Seriously, who wants to get to school like an hour early?" She exclaimed.

"Rory." Lily laughed.

"What are you two talking about anyway?" She asked.

"Luke's nephew's coming to stay." Lily told her.

"Oh that's cool!" Lorelai smiled. "How long for?"

"Unknown." Luke said.

"What?" She said confused.

"It's Liz. She can't handle him so she's sending him to me to straighten out." He sighed.

"You? You can straighten him out?" Lorelai raised her eyebrows.

"You don't think I can do it?" He frowned.

"No, that's not what I meant. I just...do you know why she can't handle him? Do you think it's the best idea?" She said.

"Are you really trying to talk me out of this? He's family. You do things for family, no questions asked." Luke said gruffly.

"Ok, I respect that but..."

"But?" He raised his eyebrows.

Lorelai sighed. "But...I'm here if you need any help."

"Thank you." Luke smiled gratefully. "Doughnuts. And coffee to go." He said handing a takeaway bag to her.

"Thank you." She smiled. "See you later?"

"Of course." He nodded before watching her go.

"I think you can handle it." Lily said.

"Thanks." Luke said. He glanced at her. "You're still not skiving off school." He said.

"Worth a try." She shrugged.

Luke smirked. "Here. Pancakes to go. Now get to school." He said.

"Yes sir!" She grinned. "Bye Luke!"

"Bye." Luke said shaking his head as he watched her go.


"Is he here?" Lily asked as she came into the diner later that day.

"Why aren't you at school?" Luke said.

"It's lunch." She said.

"And I repeat, why aren't you at school? You forget I used to go to Stars Hollow High School and I know for a fact you're not allowed to leave the school premises, even at lunch." He said.

"I just want to meet him." Lily sighed. "Please Luke? I will get back before afternoon lessons, I promise."

Luke sighed but smiled slightly. "Well you're out of luck anyway. Jess is out."

"Out where?" She asked.

"I don't know. He just went out." He shrugged.

"Huh. Well at least he won't get lost here." She said.

"Oh wait, here he is." Luke said spotting Jess come in.

"This town is crazy." Jess grumbled.

"You didn't give me a chance to warn you about that." Luke said. "Jess, this is Lily by the way. She's the daughter of the woman I'm dating." He said.

"Hey!" Lily grinned.

"Hey." He nodded.

"So you've discovered there's nothing to do here huh?" She laughed.

"What is it with every mother and daughter wearing matching outfits?" Jess said.

Lily grinned. "The uniqueness of Stars Hollow. Welcome!"

"Thanks." He grumbled.

"I promise it has its good points as well." Lily said.

"Yeah? Like what?" Jess said.

"Well some of the people are alright." She shrugged.

He glanced at her and smiled slightly. "Yeah?" He said.

"Yeah." She grinned. "And I can promise you, me and my sister never wear matching outfits with our mom."

"Good to know." He said.

"Now Lily is going back to school." Luke said pointedly. "Before her mom kills me."

"I've got lots of time yet." Lily protested.

"No you don't." He said gesturing out the window where Lorelai was walking towards the diner.

"Oh shoot!" She said. "See you later! Welcome to Stars Hollow, Jess!" She grinned and then rushed out.

"So that was Lily..." Luke told Jess.

"I see that." He nodded. He glanced at her. "So...you're dating her mom?" He asked.

"Yep. A few years now. But I've known them since Lily and Rory were kids." He said. "You can meet Lorelai now." He said as Lorelai entered the diner.

"Great." He said dryly.


"So what's he like?" Rory asked both Lily and her mom as they walked home together after school.

"He seems cool." Lily said.

"Really?" Lorelai laughed.

"What?" Lily said confused.

"He wasn't exactly very chatty when I met him." She said.

"Did you go way over the top with him?" Lily raised her eyebrows.

"What does that mean?" Lorelai said.

"You know what I mean." Lily said.

"I was perfectly nice." She defended herself.

"Uh huh."

"Hey, I'm not that bad!" She said.

"He just moved here. You just need to give him a chance." Lily said.

"I know. Which is why I invited Luke and Jess over tomorrow night for a little gathering. I invited Sookie and Jackson too." Lorelai said.

"Aw that's sweet!" Rory smiled.

"Yeah, that's cool, mom." Lily smiled.

"Yeah, well I am the coolest." She joked.

"You are." Lily grinned.


Lily was walking along the hallway at school the following day when she spotted Jess leaning against some lockers. She walked up to him. "Luke got you enrolled quick then?" She said.

Jess looked up at her. "Yeah. Lucky me." He said dryly.

"Not a fan of school, huh?" She said.

"Not exactly the model student." Jess said.

"Yeah, me neither." Lily admitted.

"Not a fan?"

"I don't mind it. I'm just not an avid student like Rory." Lily said. "She wants to go to Harvard."

"Ambitious." Jess commented.

"She'll do it. It's just...not for me." Lily shrugged. "I'd much rather work in the diner with Luke." She admitted.

"You help out at the diner?" Jess asked surprised.

"Only at weekends, and the odd evening." She said. "I enjoy working with Luke, it's fun."

"Fun?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Ok, I know Luke doesn't seem like the fun type." She laughed. "But he's cool. And he's done a lot for my mom and for us. You're lucky to have him."

"Huh." Jess said.

"So I hear you guys are coming over to ours tonight." Lily said.

"Yeah, your mom didn't give me much of a choice." He said.

"She just wants to make you feel welcome."

Jess just shrugged. "Would rather get a choice of where I go and when." He said.

"So you don't want to come?"

Jess glanced at her. "Didn't say that."

"I get that you probably didn't want to move here and that you're angry about it and stuff. But it's not too bad here." Lily said. "I know it seems crazy and there are quite a few characters here but they all mean well."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Don't I look trustworthy?" She grinned.

"Maybe." He smirked slightly.

"Then believe me." Lily said. "And I'll see you tonight!" She grinned as she walked off. "Go to your lessons!" She called as she disappeared around the corner.


Lily's eyes widened as she watched her mom and Luke argue in the kitchen about something that had just happened with Jess that evening. She watched Luke storm out of the house and Lorelai storm off into the living room.

"What just happened?" Rory said.

"I don't know." Lily said. "But I'm going to find out." She said heading outside to the back porch. "What just happened?" She demanded, seeing Jess standing there with a beer.

"Your mom's a whack job." Jess grumbled.

"Hey!" Lily frowned.

"What?" He snapped. "What gives her the right to lecture me on what I should do and how I should act? She knows shit about me! No one does!"

"Look, I get that you're angry ok? But dissing my mom is not cool." Lily frowned. "I'm sure she was only trying to help."

Jess scoffed. "She should stay out of my business!"

"Lily." Lorelai said appearing out on the porch. "Come back inside."

"I was just talking to Jess." Lily said.

"I see that. But I want you to come inside now please." He said.

Lily sighed and glanced at Jess. "Jess..."

"Go. Do what your mom says like a good girl." He mocked.

Lily frowned. "You know what? I actually thought you were alright. A little bitter and angry but who wouldn't be in your situation but I didn't think you could be cruel. Maybe my mom's right. Maybe I should stay away from you." She snapped.

"Cool with me." Jess grumbled.

Lily just shook her head. "Have a good life, Jess." She said before following her mom inside.

Jess watched her go inside and sighed. He left the beer on the side and started walking away from the house towards the diner where he knew he was probably going to get a bollocking from Luke.


The following morning, Jess saw Rory and Lily walk into the diner. He spotted Lorelai hovering outside. He moved a bit closer, head in his book to make it look like he wasn't eavesdropping but he listened to how they were clearly trying to get their mom a danish. Luke wasn't buying it though and insisted that they sit their and eat their danishes and then he would give him another one which they could eat infront of him.

"You're seriously going to watch us eat a danish?" Lily said.

"Yeah come on, Luke! Mom's sorry. We know she is. Can't you guys make up?" Rory said.

"Yeah, you know what mom's like. Please?" Lily said.

Luke sighed. "If she wants a danish, she can come in and order it herself." He said.

"And you'd let her have one?" Lily said cautiously.

"Yes, I'll let her have one." He said.

She smiled. "We'll let her know!"

"Yeah, thanks Luke!" Rory smiled.

"I can take one out to her if you want." Jess found himself speaking.

"What?" Luke said surprised.

Jess shrugged. "She's hovering outside. It's no big deal." He said.

Luke looked at him for a moment and then just shook his head. "I don't get you sometimes. But alright." He said. He glanced at Lily and Rory. "Tell your mom we're fine." He told them before disappearing to the kitchen.

Lily glanced at Jess and frowned. "Why would you do that?" She said.

"Like I said, she's outside. It's no big deal." Jess shrugged.

"You hate our mom." She said.

"I never said that." He said.

"What was it you said last night? Oh yeah, your mom's a whack job and she has no business telling me what to do." Lily snapped.

"I was angry." He said.

"Clearly."

"And apparently I'm a goody two shoes." Lily grumbled.

"How about I take the danish out to mom?" Rory said. "Lil, you ok?" She checked.

"I'm fine." She nodded.

Rory nodded, grabbed the danish and left.

Lily glanced at Jess. "What?" She said as she saw him watching her.

"Nothing."

"Great." She said dryly. "I should get to school. You probably should to." She said. "Not that I care..." She said getting up.

"Look, I'm sorry ok?" He sighed.

Lily stopped and glanced at him. "What?"

"I'm sorry." He repeated.

"No, I heard you. I just wanted to make sure I heard you correctly." She said, her lips twitching slightly.

"Ok, very funny." Jess rolled his eyes.

"It amused me." Lily shrugged.

"I was angry yesterday and I don't react well to people telling me how to act. Your mom...well she just got in my firing line. And so did you. I'm sorry ok?" He said.

"Ok." Lily said.

"Ok?" He checked.

"Well I believe in second chances." She shrugged.

"Ok." Jess said. "Thanks."

Lily glanced at him for a moment. "Thanks. For apologising." She said. He just nodded. "I should get going." She said.

"Walk you there?" He offered.

"Wow, you really are trying!" She teased.

Jess smirked. "I'm hoping you may still let me borrow some of your books." He joked.

"Ah, I knew there must have been a motive!" Lily laughed.

"So...shall we?" He said.

"Lead the way." She said. She smiled slightly as she watched Jess start heading outside. He held the door open for her.

"After you." He said.

"Why thank you." She smiled.

So I hoped you liked this! Let me know if you'd like me to continue! :) Thank you for all your continued support and I look forward to reading what you think. :)
