Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with the WB or Gilmore Girls, but I think that it's gay that Jess won't be back!

Summary: What should have happened after Jess confessed to Rory!

Luke sat at his kitchen table in his old apartment, or in Lorelai's opinion, still is his own apartment. He was filling out his checks and paying his bills but he found it hard to focus. He couldn't stop thinking about Jess and Liz and oh how could he forget, Nicole. Things really weren't working out with them. He hardly never saw her, hell, he saw Lorelai more than he saw his own wife. This distracted him and threw him off of his work.

His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in."

"Uncle Luke." Jess said as he entered.

"Oh, hi. What are you doing here? I figured you'd be gone."

"It's funny, I was thinking why you were here, Uncle Luke." Jess smirked.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Luke asked through gritted teeth.

"Well, shouldn't you be at your Wife's apartment." Jess said sarcastically.

"It's OUR apartment. And how did you even find out?"

"You're kidding, right? This is Stars Hollow. If only these walls could talk, I'm sure I'd get some answers."

"Shut up. You have no idea what you're talking about."

"I don't have to." Jess threw the envelop with the eighty dollars onto the table. "Here."

"I don't want it." Luke said stubbornly.

"Well I'm leaving it." Jess sighed.

Jess wanted to propose a plan with Luke but they weren't having the happiest conversation at the moment. He had to find some way to talk to him about it. Maybe if he dove right in he could get some response.

"Luke, I need to talk to you."

"About what?" Luke asked, sorting his envelopes.

Jess took a seat at the table and rested his hands in front of him.

"I want to know if I could live here." Jess asked slowly.

"You what?" Luke asked angrily.

"I would like to pay you to live here." Jess repeated.

Luke turned and looked at Jess with anger.

"You want to come and live here? You want to pay me to live here? You expect me to take you back in. You are nineteen years old! I can't support you forever! After all of the havoc you have wreaked, you are actually asking me to take you back in!" Luke said loudly.

"You won't be taking me in! I will be paying you. It's a little thing we call rent, here in America." Jess argued.

"And after the thing you said to me a couple of days ago, you seriously want me to give you my apartment."

"You don't even live here. Or should I say you shouldn't be living here."

"Hey! That is none of your damn business."

"Whatever."

Luke sighed loudly. It could be a good way to keep himself at Nicole's. It was just a bit ridiculous that he needed an excuse to keep him at home. Neither one of them talked.

"So, am I wasting my time or am I going to get an answer some time today." Jess asked lightly so he didn't sound as mean.

Luke stared at him. "Rent?"

"Yes."

"If I get rent every month then I will allow you to stay here." Luke said slowly. It was hard to give up his fathers office, although its not like it was to a complete stranger.

"Ok. Good." Jess smiled.

"But how are you going to pay me?" Luke asked in a confused tone.

"Well, there's the second part of the deal. I'll work at the diner."

"And Wal-Mart?" Luke laughed. He still found that hilarious.

"If necessary, I'm sure I could work something out." Jess said convincingly.

Luke just sat there and laughed. Hey, this could work out. Now he would get extra money. Although he didn't really want Jess's money. This was a good compromise.

"Good." Luke nodded.

"When can I move in?" Jess dove in. He figured the more closer he got to a normal life, the better chance her had with Rory.

"Uh....whenever."

"Good." Jess stood up and walked to the door. He opened it and reached down. He walked back in and settled down 4 suitcases and a back pack.

"I'm all set." Jess sighed.

"Wh-what? How did you know I was going to say yes?" Luke freaked out.

"Wild guess. Do you mind leaving?" Jess smiled deviously.

"I'm not ready to move out!" Luke said but then realized what he said. He was suppose to have his stuff at Nicole's. And he did.

Jess raised his eyebrows at him.

Luke gathered his bills and papers and quickly stood up. He took his extra key out of his pocket and gave it to Jess. "Here."

Jess took the key and examined it. "Thanks."

"Yeah, yeah." Luke said and practically ran out of the door.

"Jeez, when did this town learn to run?" Jess smiled.

It was awhile since he actually lived there and not slept there. He walked around the place, just to get the feeling back in. He found a couple of the books he left on the ground next to his bed. He picked them up and put them on his dresser.

Soon after he put his clothes in his drawers and his man products in the bathroom, he went to the refrigerator to see what he had. There wasn't much inside so he closed the door. On the front of the door there was a post-it that read:

Rory's Yale Dorm # 555-0967

"Huh." Jess said as he ripped it off and went to the phone. He slowly dialed the number. After about the third ring, someone finally picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey." Jess recognized Rory's voice and vice versa.

"Oh, hey."

"What's up?" He asked casually.

"Nothing." Rory smiled, sitting on her bed at her dorm. "What about you?"

"Oh, the same."

"Where are you?" Rory suddenly realized that this phone call didn't sound like it came from a pay phone.

"My apartment."

"Your what?"

"My apartment." He repeated.

"In Stars Hollow?" Rory asked in a shocked voice and Jess laughed at it.

"Yeah. Luke gave me his old apartment."

"Above the diner?" Rory asked again still in a state of shock.

"Yes. That would be the place. I'm paying him rent, so its cool."

Rory laughed. "That's good."

"Yeah."

"Maybe if I have time, I'll visit you tomorrow. It's not like I don't know where you live." Rory laughed sarcastically.

"Whatever." Jess smiled.

"Okay, well it's getting late and I have to do my work early if I'm going to come and see you so I'll talk to you later."

"Ok. Bye."

"Bye." Rory and Jess both hung up. But right when Jess hung up, the phone rang again.

"Uh, hello?"

"Say it again." Rory said.

"Excuse me?"

"Say it again."

Jess smiled, realizing what she was talking about. "I love you."

"I love you too. Good night." Rory said cheerfully and hung up.

"Goodnight." Jess said to himself and fell onto his bed for a full nights rest.

***Ok. Weird but I hope you guys liked it. Could anyone possibly tell me how you bold or italic your font and have it work on the page. Because I do it in my "Microsoft Word," where I write my fics, and it doesn't come up. Does anyone know how it works? Oh, yeah and please review with ideas and comments!!!***
