"Hi. You sure welcome people oddly, or this welcome special for me?"

Rory held back the urge to kiss him.. She wanted to but she had Dean. She shook her head with a laugh; ridding of the mixed guilty and content feelings she had seeing Jess again. "Sorry Jess! I just can't believe you're. here! You did come to day hi to me, right?"

Jess shrugged. "I just wanted to pick up some train tickets for a friend. And it just so happens I ran into you. How was Washington," his mood changed to be cold, and heartless toward her as he remembered how she abandoned him with no idea what happened, and what the kiss meant.

"It was boring, and Paris was on my back the whole time. Um, Jess, my mom is heading over here; maybe I'll see you in town?"

"Yeah. I'm going to go and get those tickets. Bye."

Rory couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart as he took long quick strides, farther, and farther away from her, and him bottled up emotions. She sighed, and asked her mom, "Ready to go?"

Lorelai nodded, and climbed into the vehicle. The car was silent for a few minutes, Rory was absorbed in her thoughts about Jess and Dean until Rory finally broke the silence and asked, "How long have you been sick?"

"I don't know." The creases in Lorelai's forehead deepened. "I guess the whole time you've been gone. Actually, about a week after Sookie's wedding." Thoughts in Lorelai's head turned to thoughts about Christopher, and she tried to forget them. Rory considered telling her about the kiss that she shared with Jess but before she could open her mouth to pronounce the words...

"Honey, I meant to tell you something. Sherry's pregnant, and your dad, had decided... that he should be a father to Sherry's and his child. He's moving back with her. We won't be getting back together."

Rory's face turned from shock to concern, as the tears in Lorelai's eyes threatened to spill over. "I'm sorry Mom. I wish I could do something."

"Honey there's nothing you can do. How about we go and get a few cups of coffee at Luke's before we get home?" She tried to lighten the mood. "And I saw you talking to Jess. I guess you've figured out he's home?"

"Yep. Coffee sounds great. Let's go."
