A/N: yeah I know I just updated but I decided to go ahead with the next
chapter...I was bored.

2 WEEKS LATER

"Hi...uhh...excuse me....where's the girl that is suppose to be in this
room....Rory Gilmore.....?" Jess asked as Lori stood by his side with her
hand in his.

"I'm sorry sir, Ms. Gilmore died not too long ago....we hadn't had a
chance to inform any of her relatives yet....sir?" Jess was in total
shock. He couldn't believe what he had just heard......Rory was
dead....she was gone.....dead....dead.....dead....these words just kept
repeating over and over in his head. They wouldn't stop....Lori looked at
Jess for sort of a translation....she didn't understand what was going
on.... "Sir...are you alright....i'm sorry we didn't call you
sooner...we're just really busy...sir?" Jess's head finally slowly lifted
from the ground. "Are you alright?" Jess couldn't get the words to come
out of his mouth. He was frozen...but he then remembered Lori and how he
had to explain to her....even though he just wanted to be alone....he
couldn't just leave her in the dark like that.....

"Could you excuse me and Lori here.....thanks..." Jess said as the nurse
walked off feeling so sorry for this young man... "Hey Lor?"

"Yeah?"

"We need to talk....."

"About what?"

"We need to talk about mommy....."

"What about her..."

"Hunny....she...." He paused not knowing how to tell a 5 year old that
she would never see her mother again.....never speak to her again...never
hug her or kiss her again...Jess was depressing himself....he had to tell
Lori...she had a right to know....he looked down at Lori's expecting
eyes.... "Lor...."

"Where's mommy!! You promised we could see mommy today!!"

"Lor.....mommy's not comming back...."

"What?" She had no idea what he was talking about.....

"Mommy.....she....she died.....your not going to get to see her
again....." Jess tried to explain this as easily as he could but.....Lori
still looked lost.....

"Mommy.....isn't here anymore?"

"No she's not...." He thought she understood....

"Where is she? Did they put her in anuter room?"

THE NEXT DAY

Today was the day of the funeral. Lorelai could barely get herself up to
get ready and Luke walked around in a daze the whole entire morning.

"Lukey...."

"Huh?"

"They're gonna bury my baby today...." She said beginning to cry.

"I know....I know...." Luke had now snapped out of his daze and sat down
on the bed to comfort his wife.

~~~****~~~

"Jessey!!! Are you up yet??" Jess couldn't believe how chipper she
was....she really couldn't have understood where they were going today.
He couldn't seem to drag himself out of bed. He thought that if he stayed
in bed that this day would never come....the day he would have to say
goodbye to Rory forever....

"Workin on it!" Jess yelled down the stairs to Lori who was up and
attempting to make Jess breakfast...but wasn't succeeding...Jess came
down the stairs and saw what she was doing...."Whoa, Squirt! Let's not
let you cook anymore ok...." Jess said as he took all the supplies she
had gathered up in his arms. "You go put on that dress that Grammy picked
out for you and I'll make you breakfast...how does that sound?"

"Like a plan."

"Good." So he made breakfast and he ate...but he wasn't very hungry so he
just kind of picked at his food....Lori soon came out with her dress
on....it was kinda crooked....so Jess tried to fix it...it wasn't much
better...but it would do. He went upstairs while she ate and put on his
black suit. He came downstairs, gathered up Lori in his arms and just
looked at her. "You know.....you look exactly like your mother...."

"Tanks!" After that they got into the car and drove to the cemetery...

THE CEMETERY

Lying in my bed I hear

A clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles

confusion is nothing new

Flashback, warm nights

Almost left behind

Suitcase and memories

time after

Sometimes you picture me,

i'm walking to far ahead

Your calling to me

I can't hear what you have said

And you say 'go slower' I fall behind

The second hand unwinds.

Everyone in Stars Hollow cried there eyes out even Luke....but Jess
didn't.....he told himself to be strong for Lori....every tear that
threatened to fall, he held it back.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me.

Time after time.

If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting

Time after time.

If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting

Time after time. Time after time.

After the beautiful, but short ceremony, Everyone left except for
Lorelai, Luke, Jess, and Lori.....Luke told Lorelai that maybe they
should leave Jess and Lori alone with Rory for a little bit....they
agreed and walked off....

"Jess.....can we go visit mommy in de hospital now?"

"No...."

"Why?"

He bent down next to her and took her by the hands.... "Because.....she's
not here....with us anymore...."

She paused, trying to process what Jess just told her... "Well....when is
she comming back?"

"She's not comming back Lori..."

"Ever?"

".....ever....." Jess somewhat admitted this to himself just as well as
to her. Lori finally understood what was happening.....her mommy was gone
forever....she was NEVER comming back....Lori put her arms around Jess's
neck and buried her face into his shoulder and for they first time, they
cried.....

After my picture fades

and darkness has turned to grey

Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm ok.

And you say 'go slow' I fall behind

The drum beats out of time.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me.

Time after time.

If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting

Time after time.

If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting

Time after time. Time after time. Time after time. Time after time. Time
after time.
