A/N: Sorry for the lack of updates lately…I have had a lot of family stuff going on. I am hoping to have this story go to 17 chapters. I know an odd number, but I like 7's and my friend said I should. Also, thank you so much for all your reviews, all are appreciated. But anyways, enough of me rambling on, here's chapter 11 of Rory and Jess – A Rekindled Love.

Disclaimer: I do not and unfortunately never will own Gilmore Girls or General Hospital.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Rory woke up; she was alone for the first time in three days. Jess, Lorelai and Luke had all gone home to clean up and sleep. They had all been taking shifts for the last three days, along with Christopher who had gone home To GiGi yesterday. It was sad to say, but Rory was glad to see him gone. Every time he thought that no one was watching him he would send Luke an evil eye. She was surprised to see Jess had stuck around, this whole complication would have sent him running for the hills, she thought. Jess and Lorelai were on friendly terms for once. Rory's grandmother still hadn't materialized, and she wasn't too disappointed about that, after all she was mad at Emily. Paris was supposed to come today, as was Lane. Sookie had been up twice to bring Rory food, so she wouldn't have to eat the disgusting hospital food. The nurse told her that a nervous looking guy had been there, but when he was told that she was getting tests done, he left without leaving a message. Rory figured that was Kirk. Lorelai had told the town that Rory was fine, but not to go see her, that she needed her rest and would have plenty of time for visitors once she returned home. Kirk of course had not listened; he only listened to his mother. Sookie was still the only member of the town of Stars Hollow who knew about Jess, and that was good, less stressful, they would find out eventually. Rory couldn't walk, she had to use a wheelchair and it would probably be that way for two months after being released from the hospital. She had to take a leave of absence from Yale and in a few days she would be going home with Lorelai.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

A petite woman with medium length brown hair up in a ponytail in purple scrubs walked in.

"Hi Rory, how are you feeling?" she asked.

"Hey Liz, I'm okay, a little pain but other than that, okay." Rory responded.

Elizabeth Webber-Spencer was Rory's nurse. Her husband was actually one of the police officers that found her. Rory didn't remember much about what happened to her except that she fell down the stairs at her grandmother's house after they had had a confrontation.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Liz left, but came back momentarily. "A young Asian girl is here to see you."

"Oh that's my best friend Lane, please send her in." Rory said with excitement.

Liz nodded her head, and backed out of the room. Within seconds Lane came running in. "Oh My God Rory, I've been so worried about you. How are you feeling? Does it hurt? I hope it doesn't hurt." Lane spat out quickly.

"Lane, calm down, I'm okay. Relax, sit down, and tell me what has been going on." Rory said calmly.

Lane filled Rory in on what had been going on with her band. She told Rory that she was developing a slight crush on Zach. Lane visited with Rory for about two hours but then she had to go to work at Luke's.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Rory was alone for about 30 minutes, and then Jess came. They were only together for about 15 minutes until Liz popped her head back in the door. "Sorry to interrupt, but you need to go down to the lab for a few tests. It'll be about 45 minutes."

Jess stood up, "I'll go get lunch, what are you in the mood for?"

"I want Chinese." Rory told Jess.

"Alright, I'll see you in 45 minutes to an hour."

"Okay, bye, and don't forget the egg rolls."

Jess just nodded and left. He could carry on a good, intelligent conversation with Luke, Rory, and now Lorelai, but when someone else came into the room he turned into "monosyllabic man" like his uncle. Either that or he didn't speak at all. It used to be that he gave a sarcastic comment, but he seemed to have changed.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Jess got back to the hospital about 30 minutes later. He had a large brown bag in one arm and in the other; he held a Best Buy bag that had an odd shaped box in it, and then multiple thin boxes. Jess put the bags down in Rory's room, and then left to go down to the vending machines for some sodas. He had fixed it so that he had the afternoon alone with Rory. Lorelai was at the inn, and he convinced Luke to stay at the Diner. On his way back upstairs, Jess was met by an angry Paris bounding towards him.

"What did you do to her? I knew you were trouble! Just leave and make things easy!" She stopped when she reached him and gave him a withering stare.

"Paris that's enough I didn't do anything to Rory she was hurt when leaving her grandmother's."

"After telling her about you!" Paris shot back.

Jess was trying really hard to stay calm, and not yell at Paris.

"Paris, I'm in Rory's life now and you can't change that, she wants me in her life."

"Well, not after I talk some sense into her." She said as she ran off towards the elevators to take her down to the lab where Rory was.

Jess chased after her, "Paris please, you can say whatever you want to Rory, but not now, I have a special afternoon planned."

"What kind of afternoon?"

Jess pulled Paris aside and after telling her what he had planned she left, but not without again telling Jess what she thought of him and promising him that he wasn't done with her.
