Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls

Rory was shocked to see him here, but couldn't help but to feel happy. Jess took a few steps on to the old wooden bridge and Rory stood up.

"What are you doing here?" Rory asked. Her and Jess were only a few feet apart. He did not look much different since the last time she saw him, still so cute. His dark hair was long across his forehead almost covering his deep brown eyes.

"Nice to see you too Rory" Jess said with a laugh.

"No, I didn't mean… It is great to see you, I just thought you were going to lunch with your mom and Luke" Rory explained awkwardly.

"I told Luke I wanted to walk around some first, see if this wacky town has changed any" Jess replied as she walked closer to Rory. "It hasn't"

Rory smiled. "I'm glad it didn't. I hope everything is exactly the same every time I come back."

"Oh yes, returning from the reporter's trail. Almost two years you were gone," Jess noted as continued to walk across the old bridge.

"How did you know I was reporting on the campaign trial?" Rory asked, confused.

"Luke told me," Jess explained as he took a seat at the edge of the bridge. Rory sat back down, leave about a foot between them.

"You were asking Luke about me?" Rory teased.

"You happened to come up in one of our conversation" Jess replied defensibly.

"Oh, of course" she replied with a smile.

"Did you ever ask Luke about me?" Jess questioned.

Rory was slightly taken back by the question, "well I may have been talking to him on the phone once after him and my mom got married and causally asked how you were doing" Rory admitted.

Jess smiled and looked out across the lake, "kind of crazy them being married."

Rory looked out across the water as well, "yeah. I'm still not used to him living in my house, but I have only been home for about a week. I like having him around though, it's nice, and he makes my mom so happy."

Jess nodded, "What about you? Are you happy?"

"Yes, reporting on the campaign trial was so amazing, but I'm also just happy to be home" She replied.

"And the question ladies and gentlemen, is what will she do next!" Jess looked over at Rory.

She laughed, "I don't know yet. I think I am going to find a job at a newspaper here on the East Coast. I did the on the road reporting, but now I want to be more stationary."

"And the boyfriend?" Jess asked bluntly, not saying Logan's name.

"Is a boyfriend no more" Rory answered looking down at her hands. She had not seen or heard from Logan since graduation. She guessed he was in San Francisco. The first few months away from him had been so hard, but the more time that went by the less she thought about him.

"I'm sorry" Jess replied sincerely "what happened?"

Rory wondered if Jess was happy to hear this news. She studied his face, but she could see nothing there. He was a hard person to read.

"Well before I left, he actually asked me to marry him," she said with a small laugh.

"But you said no" Jess replied. It wasn't a question

"Yeah" Rory looked down at her hands.

"Why?" Jess asked. Rory looked up and saw him looking at her.

Rory sighed, "well, it wasn't because I didn't love him, I really did. I just wasn't ready to get married. I have my whole life ahead of me, and if I had married him I would not have been able to go on the campaign trail and that was such a great experience for me."

Jess nodded again. Rory was surprised how comfortable and easy things were around him. She had not seen him in two years, but now they were talking as if no time had gone by since she saw him last. "What about you? Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No. I dated a few girls since I moved in Philadelphia, but nothing long lasting," He answered. Rory looked over at him studying his features. He looked out across the water, his mouth relaxed and his eyes unfocused. He turned and his lipid brown eyes meet hers. Rory's eyes locked with his and the hair on the back of her neck stood up. She held his eye contact for a moment and then looked down as a shiver ran down her spine.

"Oh, I see…." Rory replied not knowing what to say.

"Do you think you two will get back together?" He asked, his voice even.

"No, I haven't even talked to him since I turned down his proposal. No, I don't even thing I will ever see Logan again. He is living in San Francisco, at least I think he is" Rory said as she twisted her long hair around her fingers.

Jess didn't answer he just nodded again.

"Are you still writing?" Rory asked, eager to change the topic.

"Yeah, I have been working on some new stuff. My first book didn't do all that well, but I am going to publish some more and see if I can get more bookstores to carry my work," Jess replied.

"I still can't believe you are a published writer, it is so incredible. I always knew you would do something great" Rory told him.

Jess laughed lightly, "Yeah, you were really the only one that did."

Rory smiled at the sound of his laugh, she realizes she had missed him more then she thought. At that moment, a buzzing came from the pocket of Jess's jacket. He pulled out a cell phone and answered it.

"Hi….yeah…ok I'm on my way…. No, I was just walking around town….ok, see you soon" Jess hung up his phone "That was Luke, I should get going."

"Yeah of course. You have to see your Mom and TJ, plus your new sister" Rory said as she and Jess stood up.

"Yeah, I haven't seen her since just after she was born" Jess and Rory stood facing each other on the bridge that had held them together so many times before.

"Well I will see you at the party tomorrow, right?" Rory asked.

"I wouldn't miss it" Jess smiled and turned away and walked off the bridge. Rory watched him walk away and stood staring in to the trees for awhile after.

Jess was back, she was back. Both of them in Stars Hollow for the first time in a long time. She could not help but smile as she began walking home.

"So was it weird? Seeing him again? Both of you being here?" Lorelai and Rory sat in Luke's dinner eating pie and ice cream as Rory told her mom about talking with Jess.

"I don't know, a little. I just haven't seen him in so long" Rory replied as she sipped her coffee.

"Yeah I bet" Lorelai agreed as she reached over and took a bite of Rory's pie.

"And it is also weird that last time I saw him we kissed" Rory admitted as she knocked her Lorelai's fork away from her pie.

"What? When did you guys kiss?" Lorelai asked her mouth dropping open.

"I never told you? When I went to visit him in Philadelphia my senior year" Rory replied calmly as she took another bite of pie.

"No way! You guys kissed then? But you with Logan!" Lorelai exclaimed in a loud whisper.

"Yeah, I know. It just kind of happened. And then I didn't talk to him until today" Rory said.

"Wow, so do you think you guys will…" Lorelai asked, leaving the implied question hanging.

"I don't know, I mean this is Jess. I dated him in high school, and we aren't even in contact anymore, except through Luke, but there was a vibe today" Rory admitted as she bite the end of her fork.

"A vibe? Like a good vibe or a bad vibe?" Lorelai asked.

"I guess a good vibe…" Rory said.

"Like a you might like him still kind of vibe?" Lorelai asked, pressing for more information.

"Rory looked down at the melted ice cream on her plate "I don't know, I never see him but when I do he is so… Jess" Rory looked up at her mom who nodded at her in understanding.

"Things are certainly aren't boring when he is around" Lorelai replied as she took a long sip of her coffee.

Rory ran her finger along the handle of her coffee mug. They certainly weren't.
