Spoilers- Nope. Not really.

A week had past since William had taken Lor and Rory was still in a horrible state. She hadn't showed up at the Dragonfly since the day she told William to leave. She didn't plan to go back until she had her daughter back with her.

It's amazing how even when you've only known someone for a short amount of time that they can change your life forever. And that you can love them so intensely.

Rory sat on her couch. Jess was in the kitchen making more coffee for her. They weren't back together but Jess had made this past week a lot easier for her. Sitting with her by the phone and comforting her whenever she started to break down again.

The phone rang. Rory jumped to grab it. "Hello?" Her voice trembled.

Rory paused for a long moment. Sometime during the pause Jess walked back into the room.

"No!" She screamed. "NO!" She dropped the phone. "How could you do this to me?" She screamed at the ceiling. "It can't be her! She has to be alive! It's not fair to me! I'm just starting to get my life on track and you have to take her! Please say it's not her!" Rory fell to her knees. "It can't be her," She sobbed into her hands.

Jess walked across the room quickly, hung up the phone and knelt next to Rory. "What is it?" he asked her.

"They. . ." Rory trembled. "They found a body. Of a six-year-old girl." She started to cry onto Jess's shoulder. "They haven't identified it," Rory cried. "But they think it's her."

Jess stroked Rory's hair and kissed it, not knowing what to say next.

William drove intently. He didn't know where to run, surely the police had been notified and surely they'd be after him soon.

Within minutes of Rory's breakdown police had arrived at the Gilmore house.

"We need to take you to the morgue to see if it's your daughter," they told her.

Rory nodded from her spot on the floor with Jess. Jess helped her stand up and held her hand as they walked to the squad car. On the way to the morgue they stopped and picked up Luke and Lorelai. The four of them crammed into the back seat and Jess explained the story to them with a sobbing Rory on his arm.
