Rory stepped into their apartment after having been gone for 3 days and looked around for Jess. He was no where in sight. She set her bags down and laid on the couch. She turned on the T.V. In search of something interesting to watch....and there was nothing...she kept wondering where Jess was. Him not being there was worrying her. "Oh Jess, where are you...." She said aloud....and just as she said this, Jess walked in through the door. He didn't notice her right away. He put his keys on the counter, but it was only when Rory cleared her throat that he turned around. He just stared at her for a minute.

"Hey." He looked down.

"Hi." She stood up and they stared at each other again, this time for longer. "I...I read your book." She finally managed to get out.

"You did?"

"Yeah...and it was....incredible."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah." She took a step towards him. "I couldn't put it down." She took a few more steps. "I already faxed my review....while I was in New York....and I'm sorry for not reading it sooner. I realize now how much I was missing."

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have gotten so upset."

"No no you should have. I was thoughtless. I love you."

"I love you too." They kissed for awhile and then broke apart. "So are we going to Stars Hollow for Christmas?"

"Of course....unless you wanted to go see your mom instead." He looked at her, sadness filled his eyes but a smirk appeared on his lips like he was trying to hide his pain and replied:

"I think you already know the answer to that."

"Yeah...just thought I'd ask though." She kissed his nose and walked into the bathroom. The phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Jess?"

"Hey, Lorelai."

"Is Rory around?"

"Um she's in dispose at the moment, can I take a message?"

"Jess, give her the phone."

"No I'm serious she just went to the bathroom!"

"Fine." There was a pause. "Is she out yet?"

"Lorelai!"

"Sorry!!!"

"Ya know, you CAN talk to me."

"Sure...fine. Are you guys comming for Christmas?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Jess, you know I hate it when you call me ma'am! Don't do it again!"

"Yes, ma'am." He replied on the verge of laughter.

"JESS!!!"

"Oh dear! I have to go! See you in a week! Bye Lorelai!" He hung up the phone as Rory came up behind him.

"Was that my mother?"

"Umm...maybe?" She gave him her 'evil eye' "yes, she just wanted to know if we were comming for Christmas and I told her yes."

"Good boy."
