A/N:

Let's skip the misunderstanding: English is not my first language, but I'm really trying here. So, if you think that it's hard for you to read - just don't read it! The reason I'm in this alone it's because I have updates every day. I love my readers and I want to pleased them in that way. If you love my story - the first part - this would be a nice sequel for you. 'Nice' is not fluffy with me though. :P Expect lots of dramma here, but also - you know you can trust me. *love*

Now the plot: 'Secrets of the heart: The Sequel' take a place 5 years into the future. Rory is a writer and she is just about publishing her first book. Jess just published his sixth one and he just finished his tour around the country. Then one news shocked everyone.

Chapter 10 Revealing the pain

Jess woke up early. Rory was sleeping on her bed and it was the first time when he was awake before her. She really needed some sleep. No mater how angry he was, he still loved her. He still knew her better than anyone did. Rory had suffered. Jess could read her face. He could see the pain in her eyes. One strange feeling possessed his mind. He hoped that he was wrong.

'Jess?' She called him and he understood that he had stared at her. Jess blinked furiously and avoided her eyes. 'Are you okay?' Rory jumped off the bed. She lost her balance for one moment, but quickly restored it back.

'I'm okay.' Jess frowned. 'But we still need to talk!'

'I told you that we could talk when you get better!' Rory snapped, but sat close to his bed.

'And I'm telling you that I wanna know how!' Jess hissed.

'Jess!' Rory frowned.

'Good morning!' John opened the door in that moment. Rory got off her chair and smiled nervously.

'Morning.' She nodded. 'Could you excuse me for one second?' She babbled and walked into the bathroom. Jess frowned after her.

'What's going on?' John looked confused.

'She's just trying to drive me crazy!' Jess snapped and looked at John. 'Nothing new.'

'Save your nerves, Jess.' John frowned and looked at his file.

'I'm trying!' Jess sighed and shifted on his bed. 'When I could sit here?'

'Don't be such a rush!' John wrote something and then looked at his patient. 'We have to be completely sure; before we let you do this.'

'But I'm fine!' Jess snapped. 'And I'm tired of just lying here!'

'You weren't like this before.' John tilted his head. 'Why now?'

'Maybe just because that 'before'!' Jess frowned. 'I want to go home already! I have to see my…'

'Daddy!' The door snapped open and Jess saw his twins running to his bed. His face lightened.

'Hey!' He heard Lorelai's voice. 'Easy now!' However, it was too late. Jess Jr. and Jane were already on the both sides of the bed. Jess hugged him as tighter as he could.

'Daddy! We missed you!' Jane kissed his cheek and Jess closed his eyes for one moments.

'We are here to see you!' Jess Jr. announced and Jess ruffled his hair.

'Okay, Huns!' Lorelai called them and Jess smiled. 'Down now! There is someone else here.'

Jess Jr. and Jane jumped off the bed and Jess could see Jake holding Lorelai's hand. He looked scared and his heart ached.

'Hey Jake.' Jess spoke quietly and reached out one hand towards his baby boy. 'Come here. You don't have to be afraid.'

Jake hesitated just for one second. He dropped Lorelai's hand and climbed on Jess' bed. He snuggled in Jess.

'I love you daddy.'

Rory got out of the bathroom just to see that picture. Jess wrapped arm around Jake and kissed his temple.

'I love you too my boy.' He whispered. Jake smiled and Rory covered her mouth to suppress one sob.

'Mommy! Mommy!' The twins called her and she saw them running towards her. She knelt down and wrapped arms around them.

'My treasures.' She whispered and kissed their temples.

'Huns!' Lorelai murmured and Jess released one smile, ruffling Jake's hair. 'I left Ayn with my son. He is the treasure here.'

'So this is your family?' John asked and Jess nodded.

'This is my family.' He looked at Rory.

'Okay.' John nodded. 'I'll be back by the end of the day.'

'I'll be here.' Jess crooked his face.

'Are you okay, daddy?' Jake asked him and Jess tried to smile to his son.

'Daddy is okay. I just need some time here.'

'But you'll be back?' Jake looked at him with his hazel eyes.

'I'll be back.' Jess kissed his small head.

'Okay.' Jake sighed and snuggled in him again.

'How are you?' Lorelai asked her daughter. Rory was playing with the twins and she just threw one look at her mother.

'I'm good.'

'I think that you are fine!' Lorelai rolled her eyes, but Rory looked back at her children.

They spent the whole morning together. Jess felt tired by the end of the visit, but he was happy to see his little children. Rory saw his pale face and looked at her mother. Lorelai nodded as a response.

'Come on, Huns! Granny need to go now! Say bye to your daddy and let's go!'

'But…'

'Granny…' The children pouted.

'Come on! Daddy needs to sleep now!' Lorelai tried again and this time they listened to her. When the room was quiet again, Jess sighed tiredly and closed his eyes. He felt Rory's hand on his forehead and looked up at her.

'I'm good.'

'You will be if you can relax now.' She whispered and kissed his temple.

'We have to talk!' Jess whispered. 'You can't keep that secret forever.' His voice was thick.

'Sleep now.' She smiled, but her eyes remained sad.

'Rory…'

'Sleep, Jess.' She ran fingers through his hair. 'Sleep and get better.' The sound of her voice calmed him and he closed his eyes. 'Sleep and get better now.' He felt her lips touching his softly. 'I love you.'

That was how Jess fell asleep. He was weak. He could not fight with that. He hated it, but there was nothing, he could have done. However, when he opened his eyes again, his heart ached. Rory was sitting on her bed. She had folded her legs and rested knees over her knees. She was crying silently.

Jess could feel her pain as his. He always could. She looked so sad that he wondered how he did not notice that before. Her face was all wet and Jess swallowed hard. He wanted to get off that bed now. He wanted to wrap arms around her and banished her pain away. Damn his weakness! That was why he hated it!

'Rory.' He called her.

'Leave me alone, Jess!' She brushed her eyes rapidly. 'I'll be fine!'

'Come here.' His voice was quiet.

'No!' Rory sniffed and avoided his eyes. 'You don't have to worry about.'

'Rory.'

'Jess I…'

'I can't hug you if you are there and I'm here.'

'I don't want…'

'Stop lying!' He hissed and she looked at him just then. 'I can see you suffering right now! Why don't you let me help you?'

'I don't need…'

'Stop hiding your heart from me! Just stop!' He tried to sit, but slipped on his elbows. 'Jeez!'

'Jess!' Rory rushed to help him. 'Calm down.'

'Tell me Rory!' His eyes locked with hers. 'It's time to tell me.'

Then suddenly she burst into tears.

'I lost a baby...'
