Okay last time I left off with Rory and Jess making out. I know you're all wondering how that happened. Okay, for the sake of time let's say that Luke and Lorelai were upstairs for a longer time than twenty minutes. But before that I wanna go back into time a little bit further.

"Rory, you've got to stay here." Luke said. Then he noticed who was coming in the door. "What are you doing here?" He asked shocked.

"I need to talk to you." He said.

It was at that moment that Luke noticed that the young man was holding a small bundle in his arms. "Is that-?" Luke asked puzzled.

"Luke this is your great-nephew Jacob Lucas Mariano." Jess told a shocked Luke.

"You have a baby?" Rory asked in shock.

"Yes." He answered.

"I, I, I'll be right back. I gotta go – do, something." Luke said going upstairs.

"So, what are you doing back in town?" Rory asked Jess shyly.

"I have to talk to Luke about something, I need his help." Jess told her.

"Oh." Rory said.

Luke went upstairs to his apartment.

"So Rory, You look good." Jess told her.

"Yeah?" Rory asked hopefully then quickly changed her tone. "Uh thanks." She said looking at the floor. "You look good too." Stupid. Stupid. Why did you tell him that! He's going to think you still like him! You just broke up with Dean, get a hold of yourself! Well, now I'm available it wouldn't be like last time. What am I saying? He left me I should be upset with him.

Jess was staring at her with a smirk as she internally debated herself. "You okay there Rory?" He said waving a hand in front of her face.

"Huh? Oh. Yeah, I'm fine. So what have you been up to?" Rory asked. Then slapped her forehead. "I mean besides the obvious." Rory added gesturing wildly with her arms.

Jess chuckled and smirked. "I'm the manager of a bookstore, and I'm saving up for community college." He told her.

"You got your GED?" Rory asked surprised.

Jess nodded.

"Wow, Jess I'm really proud of you!" Rory exclaimed jumping out of her seat and giving Jess a hug. After a minute she backed off, realizing what she was doing.

"Look I'm gonna go and talk to Luke." Jess said. "Could you watch Jake for a second?" He asked her.

Rory nodded and watched as Jess went upstairs.

-----later, when Luke and Lorelai are upstairs-----

Jess and Rory are still seated at the table.

"So, Jess you wanna tell me what that was about?" Rory asked

"Why do you care?" Jess asked.

"Because you're upset." Rory said.

"So why does it matter to you if I'm upset? You should be happy to see me upset after the way I treated you." Jess said looking away.

"Yeah, well, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. We could try being friends." Rory suggested.

"Sure, I guess. It'll make things easier." He said looking her in the eyes.

"Yeah." Rory said breaking his gaze. "So, what was that about?" She said.

"I tried to talk to him, because I need his help, but he wouldn't let me get out what I wanted to tell him. He thought that I just wanted to leave Jake here with him, but I don't." Jess said, looking a little upset.

Rory puts her hand on his knee to comfort him. "What were you going to ask him?" Rory asked.

"I wanted to know if- Look, okay, I got evicted from my apartment because Jake is a really loud crier. So I was wondering if I could stay here for a little while one of my friends finds me a new place to live." Jess told her.

"Oh, Jess I'm so sorry. Just try talking to him again. I'm sure he'll listen, I bet my mom will make him listen." Rory tells him.

"Yeah you're right Rory." He says looking up to meet her gaze. They sat there for a few minutes staring off into each other's eyes then someone, they weren't really sure who, leaned in and suddenly they were kissing. It wasn't long before Luke and Lorelai interrupted them.

I know, still rather short. But I have my reasoning. The next chapter will be longer. I had a hard time writing this because I was getting parts confused with my other story I'm writing which is very similar, Snowstorms and Secrets, okay that's my mini-rant for now. Please review!
