AN: Hi Guys. Sorry I haven't updated in a while but here is chapter 10. I hope you like it. I know some of you weren't too happy with Jess in the last chapter but don't worry, I'm a Rogan fan at heart but every story needs a few twists. Thanks to everyone for reviewing my last chapter and I hope you like this one!

Rory closed her eyes. The kiss was sweet and gentle but it didn't feel right somehow. She held up both of her hands towards Jess' chest and he pulled away. "Rory, what's the matter"?

"I'm sorry Jess, I can't do this".

"Why? I mean I thought you said you weren't with anyone and… I love you Rory".

Rory took a few steps back from the window hoping to create some distance between them so that she could think clearly. "I need to be honest. Logan just left this morning. Look, I don't know what Logan and I are right now Jess…but I want a chance to find out".

"Okay".

"I'm sorry. The way you feel about me…it's the way I feel about him. I can't even help it Jess. I just love him".

"Yeah I think you mentioned that the last time I saw you. I'm sorry Rory. I'm gonna go".

"I think that's a good idea".

With that he made his way over to the door and a minute later Rory heard the elevator ping. He had looked different but he was still Jess. Rory felt uneasy. What was she thinking? Why did she do this to herself? Nothing for five years and then two guys' have to declare their love for her at once. If she believed in karma, she'd say she had done something pretty bad. She sat for a while staring into space, trying to gather her thoughts but she was unable to think after what had just happened so she decided to try and sleep for a while.

Lorelai arrived home around 10pm and carried a sleeping Lexie through the front door. Luke and April were sat on the sofa watching a movie and they both turned to face Lorelai and smiled when they saw the adorable little four year old. Luke immediately rose from his seat and made his way over to his wife and daughter, he kissed Lorelai and then gathered his sleeping daughter up in his arms and Lorelai smiled gratefully as he took Lexie and then made his way to her room. When it was safe to make a sound, Lorelai greeted her step daughter with a kiss on the cheek. She decided it was safer to talk in hushed tones however, as Lexie was a light sleeper and had to be up for kindergarten in the morning.

"So", whispered Lorelai. "Did you and your Dad have fun"?

April rolled her eyes. "Yeah, sure".

"That fun huh"?

April laughed. "You know Dad. He still thinks I'm thirteen. I can't even mention a guy's name without him hitting the roof. Hopefully he'll mellow as he get's older, otherwise…God help Lex".

Lorelai couldn't help but giggle. That was Luke for you but she liked the fact that he was protective of his daughters. "So is your Dad taking you home or do I have the honor"?

"I think Dad wants to take me and lecture me about God knows what. See you next week Lorelai".

"Bye Hun".

Lorelai walked down the hall to Lexie's room to take over for Luke. "I won't be long", he said as he kissed Lorelai's cheek and then disappeared. A moment later she heard his car drive away. She sat on Lexie's bed and watched her precious daughter sleep. There was a time when she had thought this would never happen again for her, so occasionally, when Lexie was eating or sleeping or just generally being herself, Lorelai liked to take a step back and admire what she had and how far she had come. She had a husband she loved, a grown daughter of whom she was so proud, a thriving business, a better relationship with her parents, great friends, and the second little girl she had dreamed about for so long. She had everything she had ever wanted and she smiled down at the little angel who had now fallen into a deep slumber. Her dark curly hair was wild and spread about over her pillow and her long dark eye lashes flickered slightly as she slept. Her chest rose and fell with every little breath she took. Her skin was pale but her rosy cheeks and crimson lips stood out and had made her a beautiful child. Her arm was at present wrapped around a pink fluffy teddy bear that had been a gift from Emily Gilmore the day her second granddaughter had been born. Lexie shifted slightly as Lorelai placed a kiss on her forehead before turning out her lamp and shutting her bedroom door.

A short time later, Luke arrived home and Lorelai felt him crawl into bed beside her. He wrapped his arm around her as he usually did and she smiled to herself.

"So what are we going to do about this weekend"?

"Huh"? It took her a few seconds to catch on. She had begun to realize that Luke had all of their serious conversations just as she was about to dose off. She was beginning to think he did it on purpose.

"The Wedding"

"Oh yeah."

"I think they really want us to go and it might be fun to get away for a couple of day's".

"It's a little short notice. We haven't even booked our flights and what are we going to do with Lexie"?

"She could stay with your parents or Rory. Come on… it's Florida. It will only be for a few days and the wedding will only last for one which means we can have some time to ourselves and relax".

Lorelai shot up. "I'm sorry; I thought I was talking to my husband". She giggled at his puzzled face. "You, Luke Danes, want to fly to Florida to relax for three day's on a beach and hang out"?

"Two day's. The wedding will take up most of Saturday. And I thought you knew...I'm a changed man"!

"Okay. I'll talk to my parents".

Rory awoke to the sound of loud banging but she felt disoriented and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. It took her a moment to realise that she was on her sofa and the banging was coming from behind her front door. She lifted herself off the couch and her head instantly began to ache. "I'm coming". She looked at her watch on the way to the door and it was only five thirty-six. Who would be knocking on her door at this time? She flung it open and Logan was on the other side with a worried look on his face.

"Rory, I need to talk to you".

"Logan what are you doing here"? He took her by the hand and led her over to the sofa where he sat down with her.

"My ex-wife; She told me that she answered my phone to you and told you I was sleeping and when I tried to call you back I kept getting your machine and so I drove down here to tell you there's nothing going on between us. I was in my parent's guest house and I left my phone in the kitchen. Anyway when I woke up Kate told me some woman called and I figured it was you and I didn't want you to get the wrong idea because things are going good between us and I don't want to mess it up Rory. Kate's there because my Mother called her after she called me. Most of the family is there".

"Okay…then shouldn't you be there too"?

"I don't care about them Rory. My grandfather and I never got along and I'm sorry he's gone but as soon as I got there…they were just being the Hunzbergers. I realized I wanted to be here. With you".

"Logan that's sweet. Err but I need to tell you…Jess was here".

"Who's Jess"?

"You've met him actually".

"Wait...the guy who wrote the book? What was he doing here"? Rory felt stupid. She should have trusted Logan a little more.

"He kissed me…and I didn't stop him. I was mad at you after Kate answered your cell but I told him to leave straight away. I'm sorry. You can leave. It's okay. But…I'm just going to turn around whilst you do then I don't have to watch". She turned to face the kitchen and shut her eyes. She couldn't bear to watch him walk out of her life again and this time it definitely would be her fault. "I'm so sorry Logan but I understand. I should have trusted you…I'm a terrible person". Before she could finish, he spun her around and planted a kiss on her lips. When they finally parted, she was speechless. Almost…"Logan…what…I mean…why…err…"

"Look Ace. I'm sorry. I understand that you got the wrong idea but I love you and I need you to know that I've changed okay. I wouldn't do that to you. Do you believe me"?

"Yes Logan. I believe you". She pulled him closer and wrapped her arms around his neck. She never wanted to let go. "I love you too". She smiled and closed her eyes.

The next time Rory opened her eyes it was eight fifteen. She was lay in her bed with Logan by her side who was sound asleep after driving all night. His arm was draped over her so she softly laid it over his chest and crawled out of bed. She located her blackberry in her birkin bag in the kitchen. She decided she would work from home for a couple of day's and then maybe take her sick days then she could spend some time with Logan and maybe visit Luke and Lorelai and Lexie in Stars Hollow. She e-mailed her assistant Roger to let him know and then crawled back into bed with Logan.

Logan opened his eyes and grabbed his Rolex off the nightstand. It read ten twenty-three. He put it back and turned his attention to the sleeping woman in his arms. Her hair was straight today and fell over her beautiful face and she silently slept. He always thought she looked so peaceful when she slept. He was so glad she had believed him last night he hadn't even wanted to get mad about Jess. Although, he was pretty ticked off with that guy. When he had arrived home yesterday, his Mother had made a few snide comments about Rory and then turned her attention to Kate. Apparently his Mother still thought there was a chance for him and Kate to reunite but he had made the right decision to end things. He could only ever think of Rory when they were married anyway. She was the only girl he'd ever loved. Once he attended the funeral he didn't intend to go near his Mother or Father again. He pulled Rory closer and closed his eyes.

They both finally dragged themselves out of bed at noon. Logan went to take a shower and Rory started breakfast which included a pot of coffee, toast, whatever cereal was in her cupboard and a plateful of pop tarts. She was just stirring the cream into her coffee when her phone rang. It was Lorelai.

"Hey Mom. What's up"?

"Hey hun. I have a favor to ask".

"Okay. Shoot".

"Well, Luke and I have a Wedding to attend this weekend in Florida and I was wondering if maybe you'd consider a visit back to Stars Hollow for the weekend to look after Lexie"?

"Sure. I was planning on a visit home later this week anyway. I'd love to. I'll come by Thursday afternoon".

"That's great. Thank you Rory".

"See you soon Mom. Bye".

Rory put down the phone just as Logan wandered into the kitchen.

"Who was that"? Rory couldn't help but grin. She kissed Logan's cheek and wrapped her arms around him.

"How would you feel about a trip to Stars Hollow this weekend"?

He seemed to ponder over it for a few seconds and smiled "Sounds good Ace".

Jess parked his car outside of Luke's Diner on Wednesday afternoon and made his way inside. The place was crowded but he spotted Luke straight away. He immediately stopped what he was doing. "Jess. What are you doing here"? He rushed forward and enveloped him in a hug. "It's great to see you".

"You too. I thought I'd stop by and say hi. I still haven't met that little cousin of mine that Mom's always raving about so I thought maybe we could catch up this weekend".

"Damn. Lorelei and I have an early morning flight on Friday. We're going to Florida for a wedding but we could hang out until then and feel free to stick around until we get back. I'm sure you'd find something to keep you busy, plus…Rory's coming for the weekend to watch Lex. You could all hang out together…if that's not too weird. I mean…how did it go in New York".

"It was fine. Sure, I'll stick around. Rory and I have a lot of catching up to do but do me a favor. Don't tell her I'm here. I want it to be a surprise okay".

Luke laughed. "Sure. Come sit down. I'll get you a coffee". Jess smiled to himself. Maybe this weekend would be fun afterall!
