A/N: So this is my first fan fiction. It is a colaberation with orangecountygurl. So I can't take all the credit for it. Please read and review.
Summary: Rory never went out with Jess. She did kiss him at Sookie's wedding but they never went out. Rory is still with Dean. (Ew. I know.) Jess left in January of 2003 instead of like June. He went to California so he could graduate and get to know his Dad. This chapter is just to explain a few things. Rory is going to Yale.

"I'm your father," said Jimmy
"What?" stuttered Jess, shocked that this was the man that abandoned him when was born.
"I'm-I'm your father," answered Jimmy slowly, as if treading into the water, not sure if he would float or sink.
"Oh. That's what I thought you said," replied Jess.
"So... how have you been?" tried Jimmy.
"You mean for the last 17 years that you were supposed to be there. Well, gee, let me see, they were great. I mean, I had a wack-job mother my father abandoned me and..." he cut off.
"And... what?" asked Jimmy.
"I don't exactly think that I'm gonna graduate here. I just... can't. Not here. Definitely not New York. I have no where to go. If I stay here I won't graduate and get into any college, let alone a decent one." explained Jess, not even realizing that he was confiding in his father.
"Oh," said Jimmy thinking.
"Come with me."
"What? Come with you where?" demanded Jess.
"Come with me to California. You can go to school there. Get a fresh start. Graduate," suggested Jimmy.
"Okay."
