AN: This is just a random story that came to me while lying in bed trying to get to sleep. It's set like 11 years after season 7. Please read and review! Oh and I'm sorry if Doula sounds too grown-up, I just figured that she is Jess' sister so she's gotta be kinda smart and she's met Rory for the first time so she is gonna be fairly formal.

Disclaimer: If I owned GG then it wouldn't be ending!!

"Excuse me, are you Rory Gilmore?" And 11 year old Doula asks.

"Yes how may I help you?" Rory says standing up from her desk in her office.

"My name is Doula, I'm eleven years old and I need to talk to you."

"Ok, please have a seat" Rory says gesturing to the chair on the other side of her desk.

"Thank you." Doula replied sitting down.

"So what do you need to talk about?"

"It concerns my brother, Jess Mariano."

"Oh" Rory says taken a back.

"I know it's been a ling time but please just listen."

"OK" Rory says still recovering from hearing his name for the first time in over 11 years.

"Around 2 months ago I found one of Jess' books which he wrote about 8 years ago and it was called 'Perfection'. I began to flick through it and I saw the dedication page which wrote 'for her, because she was perfect'. I figured that Jess wouldn't make up some girl to put on his book's dedication and I was curious to know who the 'her' was so I asked around and it was" Doula paused "You"

Rory swallowed hard.

"And I know that was written a long time ago but I don't think that feelings like that just disappear."

Rory couldn't speak she just nodded.

"But there is a bigger more important reason why I'm here."

"Ok, shoot." Rory said still processing.

"Nearly 2 years ago a girl walked into Truncheon books and she and Jess started dating and about 3 months ago it was announced that they are getting married."

"What?" Rory said in complete shock.

"Jess is getting married."

Rory paused. "Coffee, I need coffee." Rory said practically hyperventilating.

"OK" Doula said confused.

Rory stood up and marched across her immaculately tidy office and poured a mug of coffee.

"Would you like some coffee?" Rory asked after a large gulp.

"No, thanks my uncle says it can kill you."

Rory smiles remembering Luke's objection to their addiction and his amazing coffee.

"So what were you saying?" Rory asked still in denial about Jess' engagement.

"Jess is engaged." Doula repeated.

"OK, was that all?"

"No, there's more."

"How could there possibly be more? Has he been made president? Is she pregnant?" Rory said turning her shock into anger.

"No, I just…" Doula said sounding scared.

"I' m sorry, I'm just…really surprised" Rory said more calm.

"Continue."

"Well, after hearing about your and Jess' past I think that you should come, it's in May and I know that's only in one month but this is important."

"I can't go to the wedding"

"Why not?"

"Firstly because I wasn't invited and I don't really know how much you've heard but me and Jess didn't exactly end well and I haven't seen him since before you were even born, that's a long time and a lot has changed."

"Just because you weren't invited doesn't mean he doesn't want you there."

"How do you know?"

"Because he cares for you and when you get married everyone you care for should be there."

"Correction-he cared for me; we haven't seen each other in a very long time."

"Then it'll be a nice surprise."

"Doula, does your Mom know where you are?" Rory asked wanting to change the subject.

"She thinks I'm watching a musical with the rest of my class which isn't technically a lie, considering that the theatre is just across the street."

"Why are you here Doula?" Rory said sighing.

"I already told you, to tell you about Jess' wedding. Oh, here's an invitation I smuggled out for you and you don't have to R.S.V.P just come."

"I don't know." Rory says taking the invitation and staring at the lettering.

You are invited to the marriage

Of

Amy Barlow

And Jess Mariano

My 15th

2pm onwards.

Now she was reading it the news became real to Rory and the penny finally dropped, Jess is getting married.

"Rory I know that I don't know you all that well, and I don't know all that happened between you and Jess but from what I heard it sounds like you owe him."

Rory looked up from the invitation and into Doula's eyes; they were a muddy brown, like chocolate, like Jess' eyes.

Doula continued, "Just come to the wedding he deserves that at least."

Doula waited for a response from Rory but when she realised that Rory was in too much shock to talk, Doula continued speaking.

"If he means, or meant anything to you then you should come and he'll be happy to see you."

"How do you know, if he really wanted me there he'd have invited me." Rory said trying to think of a good excuse not to go because to her the idea of seeing Jess again was terrifying.

"I guess he was just scared, and if I'm not mistaken so are you."

Rory knew this girl was just trying to bush her buttons to make her go but Rory could feel herself giving in slightly.

"Look, don't make a decision now, please just think about it. And not because I asked you to, but do it for Jess, please I'm his little sister and he's been a great brother and I just want him to be happy and it seems like he was happiest when with you. Please just for Jess." Doula said standing up.

"Ok, I'll think about it but I'm not making any promises." Rory said standing up too.

"Thank you." Doula said stretching her arm, which Rory shook.

"It was nice meeting you Doula."

"You too Rory."

"Goodbye and thanks."

"Oh, before I go here's his book 'Perfection'" Doula said handing her a plain white book with the title in bold black lettering.

"Thanks."

"Bye Rory, I'll see you at the wedding." Doula said smiling and heading for the door but Rory's voice stopped her.

"How do you know I'll be there?" Rory asked.

Doula turned round and said with a small smile "Because it's for Jess."

And with that Doula left leaving Rory standing in her office in total shock. She was still digesting the fact that Jess was getting married.

Her Jess was getting married. But he wasn't her Jess anymore.

AN: Thanks for reading please review if you love it or if you hate it. Constructive criticism is welcome. If I get enough reviews I'll write another chapter, I have some ideas.
