DISCLAIMERS: I do not own Gilmore Girls or any of the characters in it (although I would like to borrow Jess *lol*). I'm a poor student so DON'T SUE ME!

QUESTION: How do you make words bold and underlined and stuff like that? Your help is much appreciated.

NOTE: This takes place after the season finale (2nd) of Gilmore Girls. Sookie and Jackson have already gotten married and their wedding is over. This is my first fanfic of Gilmore Girls and I actually haven't watched ALL of the episodes this season so please correct me if I get something wrong. Please review but NO FLAMES. Enjoy. =)

Confessions over Ice Cream

Rory Gilmore was walking down the street with her mother, Lorelai Gilmore, both still in their bridesmaids' dresses. Their minds both occupied with the events that had happened only hours before. Lorelai was still numb after the news of Christopher and Sherry's baby. Rory was kicking herself for kissing Jess. And she was remembering the way she felt dizzy and out of breath, never feeling that with Dean's kisses. Damn, both Gilmores thought simultaneously.

As they turned a corner, they walked blindly into Luke's diner and sat down at their usual table. Almost a minute later, Lorelai, looking around, said, "Wait . . . how did we get here?"

That seemed to snap Rory out of it and she cried out, "Oh shoot! I think we left Dean at the wedding!"

"He's a big boy. He can find his way home," replied Lorelai. "C'mon, let's go home. We'll order some pizza if you're hungry."

Luke saw them and he wondered what was wrong. Lorelai had that sad look on her face, as if her puppy died. They both sat motionless which made Luke even more worried and was about to go over there before Lorelai said something to Rory and they left. He sighed. I wonder what happened, he thought.

As they were walking out of the diner, Rory collided with Jess. His arms reached out instinctively to catch her and before they knew it, he was holding her with their faces so close that Rory could feel the minty scent of Jess's breath on her cheek.

"Ahem," said Lorelai.

"Oh um . . . thanks Jess "
"I'm so sorry about the " they both said at the same time.

Rory stood up and brushed imaginary lint pieces off of her dress. "No worries," she said, much too brightly. She gave him a strained smile and walked rapidly away, with Lorelai catching up with her.

"Whoa, wait up. When did he move back?" asked Lorelai "And why?"

"Just today," answered Rory, avoiding her mother's eyes and her second question.

"Hmmm," said Lorelai knowingly. "Maybe the better question is for who."

"Drop it Mom. Jess didn't like New York so he moved back. End of story."

"But--"

"So when is Dad moving in?" Rory interrupted her mother, in hopes of changing the subject.

"Rory," Lorelai hesitated. "There's something I need to tell you. But first, know that your dad loves you very much and that would never change."

"Mom, you're scaring me. He's not coming back, is he?" asked Rory.

"It's a little more complicated than that." replied Lorelai. "You remember Sherry, right? Well apparently, she's pregnant and your dad just didn't want to miss out on raising a child again. He's probably going to move back in with her, if not get married." She gave Rory a faint smile.

Rory gasped, "Mom, I'm so sorry." They walked into the house and into the kitchen. Rory opens the freezer and takes out a pint of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia, along with two spoons. "Here, sit."

Lorelai complied with a sigh and said, "I can't blame him, you know. This time, I can't blame him of being an inconsiderate jerk. He's doing the right thing, and that's what makes it even worse." Talking almost to herself, she continued, "When he got me pregnant, he just bailed. And now--" Lorelai broke off and stuck a huge chunk of ice cream into her mouth.

"--and now you feel cheated out of it," finished Rory.

Lorelai looked at her daughter with amazement. "Exactly. Is it that obvious?"

"Nah," Rory answered.

The phone suddenly rings and Lorelai goes to get it.

"Hello?" She pauses a moment and says, "Hold on a second, she's right here."

Giving the phone to Rory, Lorelai mouthes, "It's Jess."
