Title has nothing to do with the movie!
"We need to talk, Rory." Lorilie's voice sounds concerned through Rory's cell phone.
"I'm coming over." Rory states quickly, worried that two nights before her mother's wedding she is ready to take off again.
"No, don't come over, I'll come to you." Lorelai insists.
"Mom, I'm right around the corner. I'm coming to the house." Rory responds.
"Rory..."
"Bye Mom." Rory flips her cell phone closed and turns to face her four-year-old daughter, "we have to go see Grandma Lorelai, all right?"
"Yay!" Shaya exclaims swinging the hand she has clasped in her mother's back and forth. "Grandma gives me coffee."
Rory sighs, "I know, she's not supposed to do that."
"I like it." Shaya states.
"I know you do sweetie, but you are to young for it." Rory responds, feeling bad for depriving her young daughter of something she herself had loved from and early age.
Pushing open her childhood home's door Rory calls, "we're here!"
Rory leads Shaya into the livingroom and then stops short staring at the dark haired man who was sitting with her mother, "Jess..."
Shaya, not understand her mother's inner turmoil, runs toward Lorilie, "Grandma can I have coffee?"
"I have some coffee ice cream in the fridge, why don't we go get some? Let Mommy talk to her friend, all right?"
Shaya let's go of Rory's hand and takes her grandmother's instead calling "bye Mommy."
Rory runs her hand through her short brown hair, "I, I didn't know you were coming Jess."
"Luke invited me, him being my uncle and all." Jess seems just as uncomfortable seeing Rory as she was.
Rory nods, "right, of course, duh."
"Yeah." Jess nods.
"So, how've you been?" Rory asks.
"Good. You?"
"Good."
"I was surprised when I heard that you were living in Stars Hollow, I figured you would be off over seas reporting or something. Or working at a big newspaper somewhere, not in Stars Hollow."
"I was, I worked at the New York Times until about six months ago." Rory's voice is soft and Jess can tell that there are things Rory doesn't want to talk about. "I moved back here and I started the Stars Hollow Secret."
"Why'd you move back because of your husband?" Jess asks, not really wanting to hear about Rory's husband but feeling compelled to ask anyway.
Rory bites her lip, "I guess you could say that."
"So, that's your daughter." Jess comments for the lack of anything better to say.
Rory nods, "yeah, that's Shaya."
"She's cute."
"Thanks. I should really see what she's up to." Rory quickly excuses herself rushing into the kitchen.Stepping into the kitchen Rory finds Shaya with coffee ice cream covering her face, "I like coffee ice cream, Mommy."
"Good. Why don't you go get your face washed up in the bathroom?" Rory suggests, "I'll be in to help you in a minute."
Shaya jumps to her feet and skips off as Lorelai says, "this is why I wanted to come to you house, I didn't want to surprise you with Jess here. Luke and I both didn't think that he was coming, it got in early this morning and asked if it would be all right if he could come."
Rory takes a deep breath, "it's fine. Why would I be bothered by it? Jess and I are long over, you know, like a decade over."
Lorelai eyes her daughter, "right."
"So this was all you needed then?" Rory asks, "your ready to get married?"
Lorelai nods, "I love Luke, it's not like with Max. I'm not having any second thoughts."
Rory nods, "all right. I should get going, I want to stop by the bridal shop in Hartford to make sure Shaya's dress fits. And then I'm going to. stop by Sookie's to take the kids so that you guys can finish all the wedding plans."
"You don't have to watch all six kids by yourself Rory you are going to go crazy between Shaya and Sookie's five monsters. I don't think this is a good idea Rory, I mean you're pregnant, you don't need all the added stress you've had enough to deal with all ready..."
"All right Mom if I get tired out I'll call Lane, all right? I'll be fine."
Lorelai gently touches Rory's face, "I just worry about you Rory, you've had a hard couple of months."
Rory shuts her eyes, to hide tears or ward off memories Lorelai isn't sure taking a deep breath Rory responds, "I'm fine Mom. You can stop worry about me."
"All right, point taken. I'll see you later?"
Rory hugs her mother, "yeah, I'll see you."
"I'm all clean." Shaya declares coming out of the bathroom, no trace of ice cream but her shirt front is soaking wet.
"All right we have to get going." Rory states, "say bye to Grandma and thank her for the ice cream so we can go."
Shaya follows her mothers directions and when they walk into the livingroom Rory says to Jess, "I guess I'll see you at the wedding."
"Yeah, later."
"What are we doing to day?" Shaya asks once they step outside of Lorelai's house.
"We have to stop by my work to see Lane about something, then we have to get your dress in Hartford and then we are picking up Sookie's kids and you can play with them for the rest of the day."
Shaya looks thoughtful for a few moments and then shrugs, "OK."
5 months ago Rory had bought the newspaper local newspaper and she had become a partner with a slightly older woman by the name of Regina Salhara who knew the business side a lot better than Rory did. Rory did most of the editing, and wrote an article once in awhile and since she had grown up in Stars Hollow she had been the one to decide who to hire to write for the paper. Most of the prominent people in town wrote for it and nearly everyone had subscriptions to it, turning the paper that had been on th verge of shutting down completely around. Lane wrote for the media section, doing mostly reviews of music with movies thrown in there too. Even Mrs. Kim wrote, a religious column once a week that was posted in the Sunday editions. And while Lane did have her own children at home, twins, she spent a lot of time at the paper and for this Rory was relieved because she needed to talk to her best friend about Jess' sudden reappearance in Stars Hollow.
"Lane." Rory breathes a sigh of relief when she sees Lane sitting at her normal desk.
Lane looks up and gives Rory a sympathetic smile, it seems Lane all ready knew what Rory was doing in the office on her day of. "I saw him before I got to work today."
"We need to talk, Rory." Lorilie's voice sounds concerned through Rory's cell phone.
"I'm coming over." Rory states quickly, worried that two nights before her mother's wedding she is ready to take off again.
