Disclaimer: I own Ellie… she's so cute!

Rory pulled up in the driveway of her mother's house. It looked nicer now; Luke had done wonders on it. She turned off the car, and undid her seatbelt, looking back to the back seat where Ellie was asleep. Rory pulled the key out of the ignition and dropped them in her purse, picking it up, and getting out of the car. She walked around to the other side of the back seat, and opened the door. She gently undid Ellie's seatbelt, and picked her up. Rory shut the door behind her and locked it, and then proceeded to walk up to the porch, carrying a sleeping Ellie.

Rory walked up the steps, and opened the door. She walked into her old bedroom, and laid Ellie down on the bed. She then left the room, and went into the living room, "Mom?" she half said, half whispered.

Lorelai came down the stairs, tying her robe, "You're here awfully early. Where's Ellie?"

Rory smiled, and walked over to hug her mom, "Asleep… in my bedroom."

Lorelai nodded, "Jess didn't come?"

Rory snorted, "Please… you'd have better luck tricking the roadrunner than getting him to come to Stars Hollow for anything, but a holiday."

Lorelai nods, "I would imagine so. So he's working?"

Rory smiles, and walks into the kitchen, "Yes."

Lorelai sat down on top of the counter, "So how is he adjusting to you working with Logan?"

Rory shrugs, "He's fine with it for right now."

Lorelai nods, "When are you going to tell him?"

Rory furrows her brow, "About?"

Lorelai, "You know… about you going to London with Logan and a couple other people for business?"

Rory shrugs, "I don't know if I am even going."

Lorelai fixes coffee, for herself, and Rory, "It would be good for you to."

Rory nods, "I know."

Ellie comes in the kitchen, "I smelt coffee…" she said rubbing her eyes, sleepily.

Lorelai smiles, and walks over to her, "Hey baby!"

Ellie's eyes brighten, and her smile gets bigger, "Nana!"

Lorelai hugs her, "You want some coffee?"

Ellie nods, "Wes ma'am."

Rory smiles, "Come here…"

Ellie runs over to her mom, and jumps in her lap, "Are we staying the night here?"

Rory nods, "Most likely."

Ellie sighs, "Aw man."

Lorelai smiles slightly, "You don't want to stay with Nana and Lukey?"

Ellie nods, "I do, but I want daddy…"

Rory smiles, and hugs her, "I'll try to get him to come, ok?"

Ellie nods, "Thank wou."

Lorelai sets a coffee cup in front of her, "Drink up."

Ellie smiles, and takes a sip, "Wum…"

Rory laughs, "What are we doing today, mom?"

Lorelai smiles, "We have a lunch meeting with your grandmother."

Rory rolls her eyes, "Wonderful…"

Ellie tilted her head, "The mean lady who doesn't wike daddy?"

Lorelai nodded, "Yea… the mean lady who doesn't like daddy."

Ellie nodded, "O… she's funny. Especiawy when nana says something that makes her turn red, and well."

Rory laughed, "I know… very funny, huh?"

Ellie nodded.

Rory laughs and switches her phone from one ear to the other, "Please come, Jess, Ellie misses you."

Jess laughs, "Don't make me feel bad… You know she's my weakness."

Rory laughs, "You know there was a time when I was your only weakness."

Jess, "O believe me Rory, you still know how to make me weak in the knees."

Rory smiles, "Why Mr. Mariano, you sure do know how to charm a girl."

Jess looks up at the clock, "It's 9:05. By the time I get there Ellie will already be asleep."

Rory tucks her legs under her body on the couch, "I know… I just want you here."

Jess smirks, "Can't sleep without me, huh? I knew it."

Rory laughs, "You're so confident in yourself, huh?"

Jess nods, and then yawns, "Yes."

Rory smiles, "You sleepy?"

Jess, "A little, sorry."

Rory nods, "It's ok… go get your rest. I love you."

Jess smiles, "I love you, too. Tell Ellie goodnight for me."

Rory, "I will. Goodnight."

Jess, "Night."

Rory hangs up the phone, and walks into her old bedroom, "You asleep yet, Ellie?"

Ellie turns over in the bed, and shakes her head, "No ma'am."

Rory walks over and sits down on the bed, beside her, "Goodnight. You need to get some sleep, we had a long day."

Ellie nods, and cuddles up on Rory's leg, "Night mommy, I wuv you."

Rory smiles, and kisses her forehead, "Night, Ellie, I love you, too." Rory stands up and walks towards the door, then turns off the light, and begins to shut the door.

"Wait!" Ellie's little voice wailed.

Rory swung open the door, "Yea, Ellie?"

Ellie sat up in bed, and folded her arms across her chest, "Where is daddy?"

Rory sighed, "At home."

Ellie huffed, "I wanted him to tuck me in."

Rory smiles, "I know… he said to tell you goodnight."

Ellie sighs, sadly, and lays back down, "Ok, mommy, night."

Rory shuts the door, and walks over to the couch. She lays down and goes to sleep.
