A/N: sorry my first chapter was short, but I was really anxious to get my stuff out. Here's the next chapter. Enjoy!


Saying Hello and Goodbye

"Are you sure your okay with this?"

Mommy, you said so yourself I am a big girl now and I get to go to kindergarten"

"I know I did I am just making sure"

Rosie and Rory were sitting in her car in front of Hartford Elementary. She didn't want her to go. Although, she knew that she would be back at 12:35 it wasn't the same. They were sitting in silence until finally Rory spoke.

" Okay then let's go to school"

"Yeah"

Rory got out her door and unbuckled Rosie's car seat. They walked toward the door together and enter. Once in the school they found Rosie's classroom and met her new teacher.

"Bye Mommy" Rosie said hugging her mother

"Bye hun" Rory said as a small tear fell from her eye

I need coffee Rory thought and headed Stars Hallow to find the best coffee in town and visit her mom.

Same Time At Luke's

It had been a normal breakfast rush. Everyone had been at the diner when the bell jingled.

"What can I get ya" Luke asked

" A place to stay for a couple of weeks" a familiar voice answered.

"Jess…leave"

"Excuse me this was not my idea of a warm welcome"

"Leave" Luke repeated

"Luke you can't be serious"

"LEAVE"

So Jess did and went to the bridge. Where so many things had happened and all this time he was thinking of her.

Luke was in amazement. Jess had finally shown up after 5 years. He didn't even attend his mother's wedding or Luke's wedding 2 years ago. Then he remembered why he had asked him to leave. RORY

He picked up the phone and called Lorelai at work.

Lorelai Danes" she answered.

Luke loved it that she was now officially Lorelai Victoria Danes. It sounded so perfect to him.

"He is in Stars Hallow"

"Luke what the hell are you talking about"

Jess in stars hallow. You can't let Rory in town"

"Luke are you serious…what did he want"

"A place to stay"

Ok well let me call Rory"

Luke would have called Rory himself but he figured Lorelai would want to do it. She was usually better with stuff like this anyhow.

Jess was sitting on the bridge reading The Fountainhead. He did this often when he was upset. The book reminded him of Rory, not necessarily the context but just the book. He could see reminders of her all over but especially this bridge. The basket lunch and the swan were critical parts of their relationship as friends and as lovers.

Lorelai speed dialed Rory.

"Rory Gilmore"

"Hey it's me"

"I am just about to reach the diner. …meet me there"

"No… don't; turn around"

"Why"

"Rory he's here"

"What ?" Rory questions as she drops the phone.

"You heard me."

"Mom what if he tries to find us? I need you …come stay with us"

"Honey you know I love to but I have other responsibilities "

"Mom please Michel can take over at the inn. He owes you big time from when Paw-Paw got sick"

"I don't know …with Vanessa "

"Bring her … it's not a problem …Please Mom I need you"

"I'll talk to Luke and get back to you"

"That's fine… love ya. Bye"

"Bye"

With that Rory head back to her apartment , crying the whole way home.
