He and his dad Jimmy got along really well and Jess lived by him with his girlfriend named Amanda Harrison who he met in college.Jess thought he would never love someone the way he loved Rory but with Amanda it was still love but not as much as he had loved Rory. She would always be in the back of his heart and mind. Jess and Amanda had a daughter who is now 10 years old. Her name is Alexis Jane Mariano.

Amanda and Jess never got married partly because the both knew it wouldn't work out in the end. Amanda had left when Alex was 3. Saying she couldn't handle the responsibility of a child anymore and didn't want to have anything to do with her own daughter. Then she handed all legal rights of Alexis to Jess. He was upset by the fact that she had done something like that. After getting the papers he knew that he would make his daughter's life better than his was and that she wouldn't end up like the screw up he used to be.
Sasha, Jimmy, and 15year old Lilly had helped Jess with Alexis but he had to leave California. Since Jess could no longer handle living in California with some good memories but also some bad ones. So 7 years later he and Alexis are going to Stars Hollow. Since Jess didn't want to raise a kid in New York knowing what it was like. Also Jess knew about Liz and T.J. being married.

Author's Note- Sorry for such a long summary. Also I choose to rewrite this story to make it better.
Mariano Returns Chapter One
Twenty-eight year old Jess Mariano sighed, as he looked at his 10-year-old daughter asleep in the passenger side of his black SUV. They were on their way to Stars Hollow, Connecticut. Jess never thought he would go back there but here he was on his way back to the place he thought he hated but never really did. He hadn't spoken to Luke since he had graduated from Collage, he wrote Luke a letter telling him.
He was brought out if his thought's as they we entering Hartford. He gently shook the 10 year old awake.
"Huh?" Alex mumbled as she sat up rubbing her eyes. "Are we there yet daddy?" she asked.
"No almost. I just wanted to warn you that if this town is still like it was when I was there don't say too much anyone because they are all insane. Plus they will be wondering who you are." Jess told her
"Ok, so do you want me to come with you to see your uncle or are we going to see Liz?"
"How about you just walk around in the town square for about 5 minutes and then come in ok?" Jess said not wanting her to be there when he first talked to Luke.
"Ok, are we here now?" Alex said as they passed the 'Welcome to Stars Hollow' sign
"Yup here we are." Jess whispered. As they parked in front of Luke's Diner they both got out and Alex started to walk around the town looking at stuff while Jess went into the diner.
Luke's Diner
Still after ten whole years after he entered he felt like he went back in time. The place still looked the same. He saw Luke behind the counter and a woman who looked like Lorelai from behind who was on the phone arguing with somebody. Well at least that is what he thought. Everyone stared at him as he entered and the bell rang. Jess walked up to the counter and sat down.
"What can I get you?" Luke asked not looking up
"Long time no see uncle Luke." Jess said and Luke froze then looked up.
"Jess!" Luke said, "What the hell are you doing here?" Luke questioned
"I'll tell you but can we talk for a few minutes please?" Jess said, not realizing the whole diner was watching
"Fine, Lane you and Ceasar are in charge." Luke said and he and Jess went upstairs. It was an office now.
"Finally moved out I see." Jess said looking around the old apartment.
"Yeah well you would know if you would have bothered to stay in contact for the past 10 years."
"Yeah sorry about that anyway then fill me in on what I missed."
" Well I'm married to Lorelai we have a 11 year old son. Your mother moved here also with her insane husband T.J. Rory graduated from Yale went to New York then moved back and is living here in Stars Hollow. Plus there is a lot of stuff you missed. What have you been doing? The last I heard was you graduated High school and College. What else did you do?" Luke rambled; you could tell he was married to Lorelai.
At the thought of Rory it hurt Jess' heart a little he had always thought she would have moved to New York and become a big career person.
"I worked at a newspaper, moved in with my girlfriend named Amanda. Then had a kid, when she was 3 her mother just up and left because she didn't want her own daughter or anything to do with her and couldn't handle the responsibility. It was too damn hard to stay in California any longer knowing she was out their acting like she didn't have a kid at all. So we came here. I wanted you to meet your niece or great niece to you and I don't want to raise an 10 year old in New York, that's what." Jess told Luke. Pain evident in Jess's eyes.
Jess didn't like to talk about Amanda because the feeling of hatred entered his body at thinking of her and leaving her own daughter acting like she didn't exist. Luke looked dumb struck.
Meanwhile outside in Stars Hollow
Alexis walked around for a while getting strange looks from everybody she chose to read her book. So she pulled it out of her back pocket and started to read. She pulled out her own copy of 'The Tale of Two Cities'. (I don't really know if it would be a book an 10 year old would be able to read but deal with it please.) She became so wrapped up in the book that she ran straight into someone.
"Oh, sorry" Alex said then looked up and saw a woman with brown hair and blue eyes. "Sorry, it was my fault I wasn't paying attention" she continued and put her book away in her back pocket. The other girl noticed it for a moment.
"It's ok, are you new in town?" The woman asked.
"Yeah I'm here with my dad who lived here 10 years ago I think. What's your name?" Alex asked even though she knew she wasn't suppose to talk to strangers the woman infront of her seemed nice.
"I'm Lorelai, Lorelai Gilmore but everyone calls me Rory" she said with a friendly smile
"Nice to meet you Rory I'm Alexis but my dad calls me Alex." Alex answered and smiled they shook hands and Rory asked
"Who's your father Alex?"
"Oh Jess Mariano, I have to go because my dad wants me to go to Luke's Diner right now so I have to go. It was nice meeting you." Alex said and Rory said 'you too' and smiled. Thinking. 'Jess is back? After all these years and has a kid? When the hell did this happen?'
Luke's Diner
Upstairs above the diner
"Listen Luke I guess it was a mistake coming here, we will leave ok." Jess said and started to walk toward the door and was stopped by Luke who gave him a manly hug, they stood like that for about 5 seconds.
"No stay, I'm sorry about…" Luke said trailing off.
"Yeah me too."
"So you have a kid?"
"Yup"
"You Jess Mariano have an 10 year old daughter. Wow I never thought I would see the day."
"What can I say she is a part of me and is my kid, and I plan on making her childhood a hell of a lot better than mine was." Jess said they were sitting across from each other at the table that was up there.
"What her name?" Luke asked
"Alex" Jess replied
"You named your daughter Alex?" Luke questioned in disbelief
"No Alex is short for Alexis." Jess told him and then said, "I have to get back downstairs she is most likely waiting. Want to come and meet her?"
"Sure"
Luke's Diner
As Alex walked in she bumped into a boy who was also walking in and looked a little older than her. "Sorry" they both said at the same time
"I keep bumping into people a lot today." Alex said, thinking aloud
"Hey are you new in town?" the brown haired boy wearing a red shirt, blue jeans, a backwards baseball cap and a flannel t-shirt tied around his waist asked.
"Yeah, my dad and I just got here I'm suppose to meet him inside."
"Oh sorry here." He said and let her pass she sat at the counter and he sat by her, with his mother on the other side of himself.
"Hey mom we have someone new in town." When Will said that Lorelai looked and saw a girl who looked around Will's age, she had dark brown hair pulled back into a pony tail with brown eyes. Wearing a purple AC/DC shirt and dark blue jeans.
"Hi I'm Lorelai" Lorelai said in a sweet voice to the girl.
"Hey I just met someone with the same name a few minutes ago." Alex said
"Rory? She is my older sister." Will said
"Cool she is nice, what's your name?" Alex said
"William but everyone calls me Will."
"Hi Will I'm Alexis but everyone calls me Alex." She said and smiled at the both of them, little did any of them know that Miss Patty, Babbette, Lane, Morey, Kirk and others were watching the whole thing.
"So what brings you to town Alex?" Lorelai asked
"Oh my dad and I came here from California. I don't understand completely why we left I mean my uncle Jimmy, aunt Sashsa and my cousin Lilly all lived there. But we have some family here too I never met them though. My dad ran away from here 10 years ago and never came back." Alex explained as if it was nothing big.
"Where's you mom?" Will asked, Alex looked down the said, "Don't know she left when I was three and I don't really remember her except that he name was Amanda I think." Lorelai felt sorry for this girl she just met and Will also looked sorry.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean too…" Will said but Alex cut him off.
"It's ok" Alex said smiling a little to show she didn't mind.
"Ok, so who is your dad?" Will asked, while Lorelai went back to sipping her coffee.
"Oh that's easy my dad's name is Jess Mariano" Alex said and Lorelai spit her coffee out when she heard that. As if on cue Jess and Luke came out form behind the curtains. Taylor, Kirk, Babbette, Miss Patty, Morey, Lane, Caesar and other people were in there and had heard what the girl had said everything she said. Alex turned around and saw her father not realizing everyone else around her.
"Hi dad" Alex said to Jess.
