Hey
I'm really sorry for the long wait but a lot of things have been going on
My sister tried to help me out by sorting the stories out but she had her uni work to focus on
I'm slowly getting back into my routine and on the road to recovery but please be patient and also I can't promise or tell anyone when the chapter will be out, it depends on the day and how I'm feeling
Also you can no longer PM as I'm getting some nasty messages through and I don't want the stress of that on top of everything else
So, ENJOY!

~1 Week Later~
Libby walked through the hall reading a book and dodging the other students then opened her locker.
"Wow, that was amazing" Bella shaked her head leaning against the lockers "Didn't even look up"
"Huh?" Libby looked at her "Did you say something?"
"What's so interesting about this book?" Bella asked and went to take it.
Libby quickly put it in her locker and closed it "Nothing"
"Huh-uh" Bella glared at her "Spit it out Mariano"
Libby looked around and sighed "I found it in the shop, it's in my dad's handwriting"
"I didn't know he was writing another book"
"Neither did I" Libby shaked her head.
"What's it about?" Bella asked as they walked towards class.
"His teenage years" Libby nodded "My birth mum is in it plus how he fell in love with Rory"
"It's a journal" Bella looked at her "I need to read this"
"Alright fan girl" Libby laughed "My dad doesn't even know I have it"
"A girl can dream" Bella sighed linking their arms together "Have we got a lesson together or not?"
"Not" Libby shaked her head "I have languages"
"That means I have History" Bella groaned "I hate it"
"I can agree with you on that one, I hate it too" Libby nodded "Please don't mention to anyone about that book"
"I promise" Bella smiled "Secret safe with me"
Jess sat at the counter in the store with his laptop and tapped his fingers on the keyboard.
"You look like you need a break"
He looked up to see his best friend and grinned "What you doing here?"
"I'm liking this small town" Matt shrugged walking around the store.
Jess looked at him "Matt, what's going on?"
"I've been thinking of moving" Matt nodded.
Jess closed his laptop "I think we need a drink"
"No" Matt shaked his head walking over to the counter "I need a clear head"
"What's happened?" Jess asked "Something in Philly?"
Matt sighed and looked at him "I proposed to Ellie and she said no then she kicked me out of our place"
"Wow" Jess looked shocked "Where have you been staying?"
"The Dragonfly" Matt nodded "Don't be mad at your mother-in-law, I asked her not to mention anything to you guys especially on your big day"
"This happened before the launch?"
"That's why Molly and Ellie weren't here, they've quit working at the shop and won't come back until I've gone"
"You'll always have a job here and the houses are cheap around here, I'm sure I could ask Taylor for a deal"
"Is he that creepy guy who has a different job every time I visit?"
"That's Kirk" Jess chuckled "Taylor is the Mayor of the town"
"Thanks dude" Matt smiled "Let's change the subject, your new book?"
"Who said I'm writing another book?" Jess smirked.
"Lucky guess" Matt chuckled "What's it about?"
"Me" Jess nodded "It was my mother's idea, so I'm going right to the start"
"Well, I know you write everything down so where's your journals?"
"Good point" Jess pointed at him before opening a draw and moved some papers "It's gone"
"Which one?"
"When I met Rory then Lucy"
"I'll have a look over there" Matt pointed behind him then walked over to the shelves "What's it like?"
"Black book" Jess sighed jumping off his stool and walked to the other bookshelf "I know it was here a few days ago"
"We'll find it, text Rory and Libby to see if they've seen it" Matt looked at him "It could be at home"
"Got it" Jess nodded and texted his wife.
Rory walked into the inn and looked around "Hey Michel" She smiled walking over to the desk
"Your mother isn't here" Michel said not looking up from the computer.
"Is Sookie here?"
He looked at her confused "Why do you need Sookie?"
"I'm delivering something for her and only for her to open" She grinned.
He sighed "In the kitchen"
"Thank you" She smiled walking through the inn when she bumped into someone "I'm so sorry" She looked up "Dean, hi"
"Hey" Dean smiled "It's nice seeing you"
"You too" She nodded "I better get to Sookie, it was good to see you but I'm very busy"
"I understand" He nodded "See you around Rory"
"Bye" Rory walked around him and darted straight into the kitchen then took a deep breath.
"You look like you've seen a ghost" Sookie looked at her "Everything okay?"
"I've just bumped into Dean" Rory shaked her head walking over and sat on a stool "It's weird seeing him after so long"
"It shocked me too when he walked in with Jackson" Sookie nodded "What is also shocking is why you are here?"
"I came to deliver this" Rory smiled passing the parcel over "Personally to you, it arrived this morning"
Sookie opened up the parcel and gasped "Is that?"
"Your first copy of your cook book" Rory grinned "Day after tomorrow, stores everywhere will be getting 100 copies"
"Wow" Sookie shaked her head sitting on the other stool "I'm a published author"
Rory laughed "You are, it's the start of amazing journey"
"Thank you" Sookie looked at her "You and Jess are my angels"
"You did all the writing, we just put it together" She smiled pulling out her phone as it chimed then looked at the text
Jess: Sorry to bother you but have you seen a black book anywhere, it was at the shop and gone missing xxx
Rory: I'm at the inn but I'll look at home when I'm finished here xxx
"Everything okay?"
"I'm not sure" She put her phone down confused "Jess is writing and lost a book he needs"
"It's not a black book is it?"
"How did you …"
Sookie smiled "Libby had a black book last time she was here, had no title on it and she would hide it every time your mum walked past"
Rory shaked her head "I can't be mad, she wants to know her dad"
"If you could of seen the smile on her face, she was happy"
"Thanks Sookie" Rory smiled "You're the best god mother anyone could have"
"I'm always here to help" Sookie grinned "How about lunch?"
Jamie walked out of school and grinned seeing a familiar face "Mama!" He ran down the steps and darted over then hugged her.
"Hey sweets" Rory smiled kissing his head "Nice surprise?"
"Huh-uh" He nodded and looked up at her "Are we going home or the store?"
"It's up to you"
"Store" He grinned.
"Okay" She laughed as they walked out the gates and through the town "Daddy may be a bit moody"
"Daddy is always moody when he's writing" He laughed then looked around "Grandpa!" He shouted before running over.
She looked up to see her dad and walked over confused "Dad?"
Christopher looked up and grinned "Hey kiddo, he's got big"
"He's not stopped growing" She smiled "What are you doing here?"
"I was visiting your sister and thought I would come to see you and my favourite grandson"
"You can meet Libby!" Jamie grinned.
"Who's Libby?" Christopher asked confused.
"My big sister!" Jamie nodded.
"Jame, why don't you run to the shop while I talk to grandpa" Rory looked at him.
"Okay" He sighed running along the path and into the stop "Daddy!"
Matt looked up and grinned "Hey buddy"
"Uncle Matt!" Jamie grinned running over and jumped into his arms "What you doing here?"
"I'm helping your dad" Matt smiled "What you doing here on your own?"
"Mama is talking to Grandpa Chris" Jamie looked around "Where is dad?"
"Upstairs" Matt placed him on the counter "Looking for a black book which has gone missing"
"Libby had it this morning" Jamie nodded.
"Jess! I've found your book!" Matt shouted.
Jess ran down the stairs and saw his son "Hey buddy" He smiled walking over and kissed his head "How was school?"
"Really good" Jamie grinned.
Jess looked at his best friend "You said you've found my book?"
"This little monkey said Libby had it this morning" Matt pointed at his godson.
"Jame, is that true?" Jess looked at him.
"Huh-uh" Jamie nodded "Am I in trouble?"
"Of course not" Jess looked up as the door opened to see his wife "Hey, you okay?"
"We have a big problem" Rory walked up to them "My dad is here"
"Why is that a …" He stopped "Oh, you haven't told him?"
"I haven't spoken to him in a while and he kind of knows now" She sighed "I'm meeting tomorrow at the coffee shop"
"We'll sort it out later" He nodded and looked at his son "What's tonight?"
"Family night!" Jamie grinned "Grandpa, Nana and Uncle Alex are coming!"
"You three get home and sort everything out, I'll lock up here when it's time" Matt smiled.
"Thanks Matt" Rory smiled "I want full details why you're here and what happened"
"You got it" He nodded.
"You know what I love about Tuesdays" Alex grinned as they got off the bus and walked through town.
"Family dinners?" Libby asked.
"Your dad's cooking" He nudged her.
"He is a good cook" She laughed as they reacted her house "Looks like both mum and dad are home"
"Let's go then" He grinned.
She ran along the path, up the steps and through the door "Hello?"
"Hey" Jess smiled walking up to them "We need to talk"
"I'll go and find Jamie" Alex dropped his bag and darted off.
"I know what you're going to say" Libby sighed reacting into her bag and got a book out "I'm sorry I took it but I wanted to know about my birth mum"
"It's okay" Jess smiled pulling her into a hug "I think it's time we sit down and I answer the questions you have"
"I would like that" She smiled looking up at him "I'm sorry again"
"It's okay" He kissed her head "Next time ask, okay?"
"I will"
"Are we interrupting something?" They looked up to see Lorelai and Luke.
"Father daughter bonding" Jess smiled "She missed her old man while at school"
"I think it's the other way around old man" Libby smirked "You said it not me"
"Get in the kitchen loser" He pushed her.
"I'm going" She laughed walking into the kitchen "Hey mama"
Rory looked up and smiled "Had a fun day at school?"
"Yeah, it was good" Libby smiled "What's for dinner?"
"I have no idea" Rory laughed "Your dad's cooking and he likes to keep it a secret"
"He likes his secrets" Libby nodded walking over and opened a cupboard "I'll set the table"
"Everything okay?" Rory looked at her concerned "You can talk to me"
"I know" Libby smiled grabbing the plates and walked to the table just as her grandparents walked in.
"What smells so good?" Luke asked.
Rory shrugged "Jess is cooking tonight so I don't know what it is"
"And it's almost done so, no peeking" Jess pointed at his mother-in-law.
"That was one time" Lorelai pouted.
"Every time mum" Rory laughed.
"You're the same ma" Libby smirked.
