It's Liz's wedding morning. The whole city is invited, there will be a superb orchestra, a great meal and a great atmosphere. Only here my nephew returns to town to attend the wedding (accompanied in addition, but hey, it doesn't matter.)

It's been 7 years since we saw each other. I hope he is better at least that he has a job or at least a stable situation!

« - I can't wait but what am I afraid of

- but no Liz everything is perfect believe me

- thank you Lorelai, really. "

Fortunately Lorelai is here she helps me a lot for my big day!!

About 20 minutes later everyone is there, I didn't want a traditional wedding, so even if I wasn't married yet we all had an aperitif before the ceremony!

I was talking a little with TJ and Babette, Luke was chatting with Lorelai, Rory and Logan. When suddenly, I saw it. He was still in his car but I knew it was him. He parks and gets out of the car, it's him. It's good Jess. I look around, and no one noticed that he was there. It's as if we were alone in the world, that I was the only one who could see it. Except we were not alone at all. A woman gets out of the car. She is brunette with a black jumpsuit with hair raised in a bun and black heels. Jess is in a beautiful black two-piece suit with a white shirt, what does he do as an adult, at the same time I must not have seen him for at least 8 years. I get a little closer to be the first to greet them, except that they don't approach each other at all, they go to the back of the car. They each lean on their side and take two children out of car seats. Jess has a little brunette girl in her arms, she wears a little navy blue dress with a black bow in her hair. The woman has in her arms a little boy who wears pretty beige pants with a small black wool sweater from which the collar of his white shirt protrudes. The four of them are there and moving towards us. Jess kisses the little girl on the cheek who is still in her arms and I understand that it is her little girl, she looks like her just like the little boy looks like her. They are Jess's children, I could swear to God. Suddenly a hot flash invades me and I drop my glass.

« -LUKE

- What's going on Liz? Is everything okay??

- look...

I point with my finger, everyone follows the direction pointed.

- Oh my god... »

Luke takes the lead and advances towards them. His hand trembles, everyone notices him, everyone notices that he is feverish and very pale even. When Jess finds himself facing him, he only gives him a hypocritical smile.

« - Good morning Luke.

- Good morning Jess.

- I present to you my wife, and my two children. "

Luke does not answer immediately, he feels that his eyes are shining yet he does not look away from these two children, these two children who at this very moment have the sense of jess flowing in their veins, these two children who bear his last name, these two children who call his nephew dad.

He begins to answer when the bells ring the beginning of the wedding. Jess and his wife smile at him and turn their backs on him to find seats at the bottom.

Jess whispers something that made her smile and places a little kiss on her cheek and sit with their children on their lap. Everyone is clogged, we don't want to believe it, how is it possible that jess finally not but no it's impossible and yet.

——————————————————————-

After the ceremony no one comes to talk to them. What doesn't seem to bother them their child eats while Jess and Jane, his wife, both talk. They then talk to the group that takes care of the music. No one speaks to them yet no one can stop speculating on this Mariano family. Everyone dances, the children play on the grass. Jess and Jane get up to dance on the dance floor with the others. They chat again and again, they don't stop talking to each other, it's not every day that we see a couple talk so much. When suddenly the music stops. And the singer takes the microphone.

« - we have Sicilians tonight who seem to be particularly friendly so let's do them fun »

He winks at Jess and Jane, then starts playing « speak softy love » in the manner of Frank Nagai. There are only two or three couples left on the slopes, because everyone is watching them. He dances a slow, Jess whispers in his ear, she smiles then she whispers something to him in turn.

Emily Gilmore makes a comment on her shoes of which she is a fan, louboutins it seems. Liz and Luke look at each other for a short moment, yet their look wants to say everything and at the same time say nothing. But they understood each other. We see their two children sitting on steps looking at their parents with shining eyes. Lorelai thinks about the fact that they look like Jess like two drops of water especially in terms of the eyes.

Jess snuggles her head in Jane's neck and they both close their eyes before bringing them to their children. They end up leaving the track, yet their song still plays. Jess takes her son in her arms, Jane takes her daughter's hand, and the four of them go to sit at a table, under the eyes of all the guests. Liz cries in silence and we feel that Luke is not far away either, but of course if he cries he will blame the music which is more beautiful. As for me, I suddenly feel empty, lost and alone.

I lost Jess, I had already lost him but now I lost him forever.

« - come on Rory we're coming back »

My mother takes my hand we greet Liz, TJ and Luke from afar.

Once in my room my tears flow by themselves, mom serves me in her arms but she can't find any words to console me. There is no consolation to this kind of injury, it's impossible. Impossible.
