Flashback
Philadelphia, 3 a.m
Jess covered his head with a pillow hoping that buzzing sound will go away and that he'll be able to go back to sleep. Unfortunately for him his wishes were not heard and the phone continued to ring.
With a growl he picked up the phone
"Who ever you are, I hope you have a good excuse to call at this time if you don't have a death wish." Greet him.
"Jess" said the voice he knew so well.
"Rory... Are you alright? Is there a problem?"
Jess was shocked; it had been nearly 2 months since the last time he had eared from her.

Flashback (2 months before the phone call)
The big day was finally there. The opening day of Truncheon Books, the book shop he had created with 2 of his friends.
Everything was like a dream. Luke was there and he even brought April, his daughter, with him. That, Jess had a really hard time to believe it, Luke with a 13 years old daughter… And, she came too. The only person, besides Luke, who ever gave him a chance. The only woman he ever loved: Rory Gilmore.
It had been the most wonderful night of his life. Not only did she had break up with that dick of a boyfriend she had at Yale; She seemed ready to give him another chance.
However, the next morning he woke up alone, with for only proof that it wasn't a dream, the untied bed sheets and her sent in the room.

The phone call
"You finally found my number?" Asked a bitter Jess.
"We need to talk" Said Rory with a tiny voice.
"Listen Rory, it's been 2 month since you disappeared without a word. You never answered my messages and now, suddenly at 3 a.m. you decided you want to speak. What could you have to say that is so important that it can't wait tomorrow?"
"I'm pregnant" Rory interrupted Jess.
"…"
"You're the father"
"…"
"Jess, you're still here?"
"Errrr, sorry, can you repeat, for a moment I taught you said you that you are pregnant with my child".
"…."
'Oh" Was all that he could think to say when he understood that she really said that. "How did it happen?"
"You really need a picture?" She said a little amused. "I'm scared Jess" she whispered.
"Rory you're not alone, I'm here for you and the baby. Whatever you choose I'll stand next to you. Where are you? Stars Hollow? Yale? I can come if you want… Just tell me, do I need to fear a murder attempt from Lorelei or do I have a little rest?" He said in a hurry.
"Jess Breath! Mom doesn't know. I don't have the strength to tell her already. There's only Lane and Paris who know the truth. But I make them swear to not tell anyone. Please, don't tell anyone, not even Luke or your mother!"
"If you want, but Rory, are you sure? You should at least tell your mom. I know how close the two of you are. She could help you…"
"I don't want to tell her for know, that's final" She said firmly.
"I'll come…" Start Jess
"No!" said Rory suddenly. "I mean, I'll come. I only have 2 weeks left in class before the vacations. I was thinking about coming to Philadelphia, if that's okay with you… I need some fresh air…"
"Of course you can. But are you sure that will be alright for you to travel?"
"Jess, I'm pregnant, not in sugar!"
"I know, it's just that I don't want anything to happen to you or the baby"
"Wow" said Rory.
"What?"
"Nothing, it's just… When you talk about the baby and me, it makes it real. Do you want me to keep it?" She asked.
"Why? You don't want to?"
"Of course I want to keep it. It's just… Everything is going so fast. I never planned to have a baby before I graduate from Yale. But I can't stop thinking that if my mom succeeded her life while having a baby at 16. I can do it at 21."
"I want you to know, if you keep the baby, you'll not be alone. I'll be there. And I can swear to you that I'll be nothing like Jimmy or your father. I'll play a real part in our child's life." He stated firmly.
"I trust you Jess. I'll arrive in two weeks."
"Okay… And Rory…" He had before she hangs up.
"Yes?"
"Call me if you need anything. That night, two month ago… It really meant something for me." Said Jess leaving is bad ass attitude for a moment.
"For me to… Thanks for being there. See you in two weeks."
"See you in two weeks. Good night"
"Good night"
After he had hang up Jess didn't know what to think, or what to do.
I'm gonna have a baby… With Rory…
I'm gonna be a father… A defenseless child will depend on me…
Rory is pregnant… Lorelei is going to kill me… Or castrate me… Luke will finish the job if Lorelei let any pieces… I'm gonna be responsible for a child.
"I'm screwed…" Said Jess aloud before falling on his bed for a restless night.

At the restaurant
"You may think that's weird but I was really happy to think that I was going to be a father. I knew that my all life was about to change…" Jess hesitated. He didn't know why he was telling all this to Brooke, a woman he barely knew… But when their eyes locked, all the doubts he had disappeared. There as no pity in her eyes, just a friend, here to listen. So he continued with the story.
"But I knew how it was to grow up without a father. And it was out of question that my child suffered this. And the mother was not anyone; it was Rory my first true love…"
"Everything seems idyllic when you tell the story. You loved each other, both of you wanted the child…" Brooke didn't know what to think anymore.
"That's what I taught."
"What happened?" Brooke asked.
