"Um... hey," Rory greeted.
Jess looked up, "Rory, hi." Rory took a seat.
The two stayed like that in the awkward silence. Jess couldn't believe that he would be dealing with this, right now, when he just turning 25 in the next month. The same with Rory. She never dreamed that she would be 24 and having a 6 year old to look after.
"I talked to Luke," Jess said, kind of startling Rory a bit
"Oh, you did?" Rory tried to play clueless, but Jess wasn't buying it.
"Rory, he told me, he told me that you just up and walked out."
"Oh, my god, you didn't tell them anything right?"
Jess' voice suddenly became soft, "Rory, is your little girl mine?"
Rory's breathing quickened. Quietly, she said "yes"
She looked up to see Jess, he was breathing fast and had his eyes closed. Minutes passed and no one said a thing.
"Jess?"
No answer.
"Jess? Jess please say something." Rory started to break down again, and put her elbows on the table, and her head in her hands, and, gently, started crying.
After a while, Jess finally asked, "Does she know?"
Rory looked up from her hands. "No," she whispered.
"What? She seemed like she knew yesterday," Jess was raising his voice.
"I, uh," Rory looked down at her hands. "I kinda told her you weren't..."
"What?!" Jess yelled, and stood up from the coffee-house chair, "You mean you didn't tell my own daughter, that I am her dad?!"
Rory stood up in anger. "You were *never* he dad! You might have been her father, yes, but not her dad! You left me when I needed you most, seventeen and pregnant. I am trying to protect *my* daughter from you breaking my heart, and *hers*, again." She stopped for a second, because she realized she was in tears. "Because we all know you will."
She walked around him, starting for the exit, but he grabbed her arm. "We are not done!" he yelled.
"We were done a *long* time ago, Jess," and with that Rory covered her mouth while crying, and ran out the door.
Leaving Jess behind to think. 'I'm not letting her run away this time. I'm not.' He kept telling himself this, while paying for the coffee he had ordered before and running after her.
A/N: I know, probably wouldn't happen, right? Any way, Review to let me know to keep continueing!
