Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls
A/N: This is what would happen on November 1st if my name was Amy Sherman Palladino which unfortunately it is not.
Spoilers: Everything up to "Let Me Hear Your Balalaikas Ringing Out"
"Rory" I heard someone whisper."
"Hello" I said trying to sound calm "who's there."
I saw someone come closer to the gate. It was him. He was older and he wasn't wearing his signature jacket but it was him.
"Jess" I breathed out.
"Hey Ror" he said "I heard you lived here now."
"Yeah I do" I said "why are you here." No point beating around the bush right?
"I was in the neighborhood figured I'd stop by" Jess said casually.
"Oh" I said secretly wishing he was here just for me.
"Why'd you do it Rory" Jess asked.
"Do what" I asked innocently even though I knew exactly what he was talking about.
"Drop out of Yale, move into your grandparent's pool house, join the DAR, steal a boat, and I think Lane said something about dating a jerk" Jess listed all the mistakes I had made in the past few months.
"It was a yacht" I said.
"Ok why'd you steal a yacht" Jess revised.
"I was mad because…" I trailed off.
He looks really good. God I missed him. I don't think I was ever really in love with anyone except him. Oh god what am I saying I have Logan, Logan, Logan, Logan!
"Rory, Rory, Rory! Are you still there?" Jess yelled.
"Huh what" I said "oh what were you saying?"
"You were mad because you're boyfriend's father said you were a bad journalist right after his wife said you shouldn't be with you're said boyfriend because you were a career woman" Jess recounted
"Don't you find that a little too convenient I mean did you ever once think that this is what he was trying to do he wanted you to drop out and be the perfect little housewife for his son."
"I never thought about it like that" I said "OH MY GOD YOU'RE RIGHT!"
"Never thought I'd hear that" Jess said sarcastically.
I grabbed his arm and ran into the pool house. Logan walked up to me.
"Who are you" he asked.
"This is Jess my cousin to be slash ex boyfriend" I said.
"Um ok well it was nice meeting you but we have to go" Logan pushed.
"NO we're not going anywhere I was to upset to see this but Jess did it was all a plan" I said.
"What are you talking about" Logan asked dumbly.
"You and your dad and your mom and everyone and Yale and a housewife and a career woman" I rambled.
"You're not making any sense" Logan turned to Jess "since apparently you thought of whatever she's talking about would you care to explain."
"Your dad wanted me to drop out" I yelled "he wanted me to be the perfect little house wife for you well you know what I just realized that I don't really want to be with a future Mitchum Huntzberger."
Whoa that's a lot. Did Jess cause this? No things have been strained since school started for him.
"So does that mean we're breaking up" Logan asked.
"Well it does now that you didn't deny your becoming your father" I said.
Jess tried to slip out the back door but I caught him.
"Stay" I said softly. He looked unsure so I added "For me?" He stayed.
"Ace you know I can't help turning out like him" Logan didn't try denying anything.
"Then we're done" I said then added "not that we had ever really begun."
I walked out the door and left Logan there confused. I walked to the main house Jess still following me.
"Grandpa" I said when I saw him on the couch reading "I want to go back."
"Go back where" he asked "and why is he here?"
"Yale" I said "Jess convinced me to go back."
"Oh well good job my boy you have done the impossible and for that I and I'm sure everyone else will applaud you" Grandpa ran to get the phone and called who I assume would be the dean.
Grandpa gave me a thumbs up about ten minutes later. Jess and I walked out of the main house thanking grandpa and I got into my car.
"Where are you going" Jess asked.
"I have another Gilmore I need to talk to" I said.
"I'll see you there" Jess walked to his car.
"You're coming" I yelled out.
"Yup" Jess called back.
An hour later we got to Stars Hollow and I went to Luke's. Jess and I walked up together unconsciously holding hands. Whispers filled the diner.
"Rory" Luke said aloud.
"Rory wha… what are you do… doing here" Mom stammered.
"I have news" I said.
"Oh" mom said.
"I'm going back to Yale" I said.
Mom screamed and hugged me.
"Jess you did it I doubted you at first but you did it I'm so proud of you both of you" mom screamed again.
"You guys are holding hands" she added quickly.
I looked down at my hands.
"Guess we are" I said and smiled at Jess.
Oh my god! My hand is touching Jess's. Chill I have to chill. How can I chill he's still holding my hand.
"I'm going to let you guys sort the hand holding thing I'll talk to you in three cups of coffee" mom said and turned back to Luke and coffee.
Jess and I walked to the bridge.
"Jess I'm sorry" I said.
"For what" he asked.
"I was a bitch to you last time you I saw you" I said.
"Did you just say bitch" Jess asked.
I've noticed that I never used to curse but now I'm doing it more.
"Jess not the point" I said.
"I deserved it" Jess said.
"I'm sorry" I repeated.
"You already said that" he pointed out.
"Well now it's for a different reason" I said.
"And that reason would be" he asked.
"I'm sorry I still love you" I started "you've probably already moved on and…" He kissed me. A few seconds later I pulled back and continued.
"I'm probably too late and I should have said something last time you were here and I shouldn't have turned you away and did you just kiss me" I asked
"No actually that was like two minutes ago" Jess said.
"Oh" I said "and you probably don't."
"I love you" Jess said.
"I love you too" I said "don't love me anymore and oh my god you said you loved me."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. I hugged him the he pulled my chin up and kissed me again.
I'm in love with my cousin and my cousin is in love with me.
