Rating- PG - PG-13
Pairing- Rory / Jess
Spoilers: basically the last few episodes of season 2.
Paris and Rory just got to the dorm in Washington D.C. They have been on a plane for hours and Rory is tired and can't stand to listen to Paris any longer! She had been zeroing Paris out of her brain because all she could think about was Jess!
"Wow, isn't this place great?" Paris asked!
"Ya they have a bed!" Rory said sarcastically. Then went back to her tired, upset self!
"Oh boy! What is the matter? You have been spacing out all day, come on tell me!" Paris started… again!
"I can't," Rory started. "I mean I couldn't! How could I?" She asked herself.
"How could you what? Tell me? Easy!" Paris was starting to get confused!
"No, how could I… kiss Jess?" Rory accidentally said.
"What?" Paris stopped in her tracks. "You kissed Jess?!?"
"No… I didn't say kiss Jess, I said miss that! Are you crazy, why the hell would I kiss Jess? Dean is my boyfriend!"
"Maybe you didn't hear what I said, cuz you were too busy thinking about how you kissed Jess!"
"Would you stop that, I DID NOT KISS JESS" she yelled!
"Yes you did!" Paris counter argued. "When?"
"Right before Sookie and Jackson's wedding!"
"Does Lorelai know?"
"No, I never told her… she hates Jess!"
"Oh…"
"Ya… no one knows… you can't tell anyone ok!?!"
"Ok, ok, now tell me the details!"
"Well… he came back from New York, so I asked him what he was doing here and he said he moved back, then I asked why and he said Just because and I dunno what happened, but I just got this weird feeling though my body and I leaned in and kissed him and I didn't stop kissing him until I realized what happened!"
"Oh my god, oh my god! How did this happen?"
"I don't know!"
Rory's beeper goes off.
"That's probably Lorelai, I have to go call, be back in a second okay!" Rory said as she ran out the door.
"Sure." Paris responded. Rory ran off to answer the page, but is shocked to look down and see Luke's number on the screen.
(Luke's)
"Hello?" Luke answered the phone.
"Hi…" Rory responded.
" Rory?" Luke continued.
"Ya, did you page me?" Rory asked.
"No…" Luke answered.
"Well… then who did? Is Mom there… Jess!" Rory finally figured it out.
"What??"
"Is Jess there, I bet he called me!"
"Ya, Just a second!"
"I was expecting you to call!" Jess answered the phone.
"Oh, you were… um… so why did you page me?" Rory asked. "What's up?"
"You can't hide it anymore… You have to do something. I really, REALLY like you Rory and I need you with me… I miss you being there, you are different than anyone else I have ever dated! You are really something else Rory. I have never met anyone like you and I know you feel the same way about me! We can't keep fighting this… I have been thinking about this for a long time and I think we need to do something," Jess ranted softly.
"Wow you sound so good!" Rory answered.
"Shh… this is a good thing, I feel like this is what was meant to be!" Jess said. "Rory?"
"Rory?" an familiar voice said.
"Dean!" Jess said in shock.
"Dean?" Rory jumps out of her love trance, "Dean!"
"Dean?" Paris copied, a bit surprised herself!
"Let me speak to Dean," Rory said frantically.
"Rebecca hon. See you tonight!" Jess tried to cover up.
"Rebecca," Rory said in confusion.
"8:pm at the bridge, ok, buhbye, luv ya," Jess played.
"So who is Rebecca?" Dean asked. "I swear you said Rory at first."
"Ya well you are probably delusional from missing her!" Jess added to his fib!
"Ya, probably!" Dean said!
(Wash.)
"So, who was that on the phone??" Paris asked. "Didn't sound like you were talking to Lorelai!"
"It was Jess," Rory said.
"Didn't sound like Jess' name you shouted either!"
"No, Dean was at Luke's so Jess let me say 'Hi' to him!"
"So what did Jess say?"
"He said nothing, ok stop being so snoopy!!"
"Fine already, geeze!"
(Luke's)
"So what did Rory want?" Luke asked.
"Ah ha, it was Rory!" Dean shouted.
"Arg!" Jess mumbled.
"I'm sorry was I not suppose to say anything?" Luke asked.
"You stay away from her do you hear me, stay away!" Dean said and then left in a huff and a puff!
"What's going on here?" Luke asked, confused.
"Rory kissed me!" Jess finally said, in a daze.
"Wow…" Luke said stunned.
"O… crap, I wasn't suppose to tell you that!" Jess frantically said.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!" Luke promised.
"Thank you!"
(Lorelai's house)
"Brrrring" the phone rang as Lorelai ran in the door with a pile of laundry.
"Hello?" She answered last minute.
"Lorelai?" a familiar voice said.
"Ya, Luke, what's up?"
"You may wanna sit down for this one!"
"Why what's going on?"
"It's Rory!"
"What about Rory? Is she ok, is she hurt, how is it that you know and I don't when Rory isn't even here?"
"Jess told me."
"Jess told you something about Rory?" She said confused.
"Ya… and about him too!"
"What about them… did they get in a fight or did they… oh no! Luke what… he didn't make a move on her? Cuz that little punk knows that Rory has a boyfriend…"
"No, no, no, not quite."
"Well then what Luke I don't get the picture, I am trying really hard to read between the lines here!?!" She was still confused!
"You see, Rory called the diner thinking you called her from there… or something… anyway it turns out Jess paged her so she called back and was talking to Jess and then Dean found out and got mad and left and I asked what was going on and Jess said that Rory kissed him!"
"WHAT?!?"
"Ya."
"Why would… Rory… I should call her and make sure she is okay…" hangs up on Luke by accident.
(Washington)
"Beep, beep, beep," Rory's pager went off again.
"This time it is mom!" Rory said.
"Ok… make it quick," Paris said.
"Hello? Mom?" Rory answered.
"Oh baby are you okay?" Lorelai asked.
"Ya… what is wrong with you… I just got to the hotel… is everything ok back home?"
"Ya… everything is fine… why did you do it?"
"Why did I do… oh no… Jess told you!"
"No Jess told Luke, Luke told me!"
"Crap. He said he wouldn't tell anyone!"
"Don't worry, I'm sure no one else heard!"
"What about Luke… what if he tells someone?!?"
"C'mon Luke doesn't hardly talk as it is!"
"Right!"
"So why didn't you tell me? When did this happen?"
"At Sookie's wedding…"
"You kissed Jess at Sookie's wedding! Does Dean know?"
"No! He doesn't and he never will right?!"
"Whatever… so what kinda kiss was it? Wet/dry, long/short, tell me the details!!! I'm dying here!"
"Well I was talking to dad and then he got a page, I'm guessing the one from Sherrie, and he walked away, and I saw Jess standing there, and walked over to see if I was imagining it or not, and I asked him why he was here and he said he moved back, and I asked him why and he said he wanted to… then it hit me… he moved back because of me, he hoped that someday I would brake up with Dean, cuz he knew I couldn't pretend much longer and the next thing I know I was kissing him and for like 5 seconds I was in this daze and then he started to kiss me back… and then it hit me… I'm still with Dean… I can't be here kissing Jess… so I pulled away and told him not to tell anyone!"
"Wow that was some story!"
"Ya, well I really got to go… you know how Paris is!"
"Ok… bye sweetie, call you later"
"Bye"
(Lorelai's house)
"WOW!" Lorelai said. She knew she had to face the fact that Rory and Jess would eventually end up together…
(Washington)
"What happened?" Paris said curiously.
"She was fine… it was ok!" Rory said some what surprised.
"So… what about you and Jess… are you a couple?" she asked.
"A couple a what… oh… um, I'm not sure!" Rory said all dazed. The thought almost scared her… she and Jess… who would of thought?
(Later in Stars Hollow Rory arrives home)
Lorelai and Luke are there to welcome her.
"Hey you you're home!" Lorelai said and hugged her daughter.
"Hi mom, Luke… I am so happy to be home!" Rory said with a grin.
"I am so happy that you are home!" Lorelai said, "I missed you!"
"Hey Rory… I have a surprise for you back at the diner… come on!" Luke said hoping she wouldn't be angry.
(At the diner)
She walks in the door only to see Jess standing there waiting.
"Hey Rory. I missed you!" Jess said.
"J… J… Jess…" was all Rory could mumble. Then she walked over and gave him a great big hug and a little kiss. "I need for you to be there for me Jess, please promise me you will always be there…" She started to cry.
"I will ALWAYS be there for you Rory, ALWAYS!"
"I knew it!" Rory spun around to see her normally bouncing off the walls, crazy mother suddenly acting serious and normal.
"Mom?" Rory blurted out.
"I knew it!" she said again.
"Wait is there a memo I didn't get," Jess said sarcastically.
"As soon as I saw that kid, and as soon as I saw you talk to him, I knew that he would be the one… the one you would end up with… that is always the way it is… I guess you are your mother's daughter after all!"
"Mom…" Rory said again.
"No… You told me Jess had a good side and that one day I would see it, you wanna know why I never did? Because, Rory, you are his good side, you are the diamond in the rough! You are his one and only! I really didn't want it. I didn't want it to be true.. I thought I would never be able to accept Jess for anything than Christopher's clone…"
"Mom." was once again all she could say.
"Jess, I never thought I would ever in a thousand years say that, but you really are a good kid, you really could have been if you would have only tried. But you never did, because you never found a reason to… Well you found your reason and look what it has done to my daughter… just look!"
"Lorelai are you okay?" Luke said a bit stunned by the speech.
"Ya," she responded and continued, "Jess… You are the one! The soul mate!" She added.
Jess stood there almost silly. "You're right," he said. "Lorelai, I promise that I love your daughter, and I always will!"
"That's my boy," Luke said. "Or… Liz's boy."
"So… what are you going to tell Dean?" Jess asked with a happy grin.
"The truth!" Rory said simply. "I'm going to tell him the truth!"
(Doose's Market)
"Dean…" Rory shouted, only to find him in the back stacking cans of juice.
"Just leave Rory, I already heard!" Dean said quickly.
"Who?"
"Everyone already knows… The whole town knows, you didn't really think you could keep this a secret for too long did you?"
"Well no, but I figured I could keep it a secret over night!"
"Remember when we broke up, everyone knew in a matter of seconds!" Dean started. "Over night," he quickly changed subjects! " What the hell do you mean OVER NIGHT? You and Jess have had this fling going on since he moved to this town!"
"YA, but nothing happened…"
"Till Sookie and Jackson's wedding, almost 2 months ago!"
"You know about the kiss, how long have you known?"
"Some people were talking at the diner, and I over heard them…"
"Jess and I?"
"You and Jess!"
"Oh! And you didn't go for the Rebecca thing!"
"Do I seriously look that stupid to you?" Dean was getting really angry and starting to yell.
"No sir, but would you mind keeping you voice down you are starting to make a scene!"
"Just go, go see your one and only!"
"Dean…"
"GOODBYE RORY!" She walked toward the door.
"I'm so sorry…" Rory looked back once more.
"YA, me too!"
"Goodbye!"
(The Bridge)
Rory walks over to Jess and sat next to him. Then kissed him for a moment, then there was silence. Rory mumbled.
"I love you!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Washington DC.)
"Rory, are you alright, Rory, get up, you slept the entire flight!" Paris said shaking Rory's shoulder. "Are you okay?"
"Ya, I think I'm going to be!" She said then picked up the phone and dialed Luke's.
"Hello?" a familiar voice on the other end said. "I knew you would call!"
Then at that she mumbled, "I love you!"
