Chapter 3- Its never too late

Rory pulled off to the side of the road, her tears were starting to get in the way. She sat there on a road, close to Stars Hollow, and cried. A real cry, of sadness and pain, a cry of all the things she had been holding in for the past year and a half. She had been sitting in the car but when she couldn't stand being confined anymore she wiped away her tears and got out.

He was smoking again, she could smell it when she hugged him. He didn't smell like alcohol anymore, which made her happy, to know he wasn't drinking. She shook her head, attempting to shake away the tears that had started to fall again.

She must have sat there for hours, just thinking and crying. When she finally got back into the car her mind was gone, completely somewhere else and she couldn't cry any more. It was seven o'clock when she drove into town and she wanted so badly to be back in New York and with Jess.

She parked her car, but waited for a moment. She was preparing herself for the questions she was most likely about to get from her mother. She stepped out of the car, she came to the porch and proceeded to walk inside.

She walked into the kitchen where Lorelai was having some coffee. Rory sat down across from her, it was quiet.

"So, how was it?" Lorelai asked.

"I.." Rory stopped and looked at her hands, "Its a really simple question," She started, "That I don't know how to answer. I saw him. We saw each other. Uhm I was walking and I wasn't expecting to see him but he was there, just sitting reading, as usual. He saw me and he came up to me. He told me he was sorry for everything," She took a deep breath, "I hugged him and told him that I had forgiven him a long time ago. And then I left. I started driving. I spent a few hours crying on the side of the road. And now I'm home."

"Wow." Was all Lorelai said at the time.

It was quiet for a few more minutes when Lorelai finally spoke, "I noticed in your story, you didn't tell him. About Oliver."

Rory shook her head, "That's because I didn't tell him."

"Oh."

"There just wasn't- I couldn't- I just-" Rory tried to explain.

"Its alright honey, I understand, you don't have to explain anything."

They both turned when Oliver started crying.

"I'm gonna go get him." Rory said standing up.

"Alright, hey I told Luke I'd meet him at the diner." Lorelai said also standing.

"Oh you guys have a date?" Rory asked, walking back into the kitchen with Oliver.

"Yep."

"Alright well have fun."

Lorelai said goodbye to Oliver and Rory before leaving.

Rory looked down at her son, she smiled for a second. Jess' features were mirrored in his son, save for the eyes. Like his mother, he had blue eyes, which contrasted with his olive toned skin. He was beautiful, and she loved him more than anything else in the world.

"Lets get you changed, Okay baby." She said walking into her room.

She changed him and laid him down in his crib before walking into the living room, baby monitor in hand. She laid down on the couch and turned on the TV. She wanted to go back to New York and tell Jess about Oliver, but she couldn't, not now at least. She settled for watching TV and trying to push all thoughts of Jess out of her mind.

Jess tapped his pencil on a pad of paper, his coworker was watching him tap incessantly.

"Do you mind!" He finally said.

"Uh sorry." Jess said putting his pencil down.

There was a third person in the room, Tommy, Jess' boss' gay assistant. He came and sat down next to Jess.

"Hey sexy, something wrong?" He asked in a way that always reminded him of Miss Patty. Maybe it was the way he called him sexy, he didn't know, but wither way it creeped him out.

"Uh no not really." He answered.

"Hmm Liar, what's going on in that pretty little head of yours?"

"It's.." Jess looked up at him, "Its complicated."

"Uh huh. Come on you can tell me. Come on tell Tommy."

Jess rolled his eyes, "Its about a girl." Jess tried to get him discouraged and off the topic.

But he was persistent, "Uh huh, uh huh. Go on."

"She came to see me yesterday. She told me she had forgiven me, and then left." Jess explained vaguely.

"Forgiven you for what?" Tommy asked.

Jess thought for a moment, how to put it, "For something I did to her."

Tommy saw it was a soft spot and backed off. "Well then, she just left."

"Yep."

"And you didn't go after her?"

"Nope."

"Are you stupid."

"What?"

"She says she forgave you for what ever it was that you did, and then she leaves and you don't follow. Correct?"

"Yeah."

"You're and idiot."

"What, why?" Jess asked as Tommy got up to leave.

"You should have gone after her." When he was at the door he turned back and told him, "You should still go after her."

"It's too late now." Jess told him.

"Sexy, its never too late." And he left.

Jess sat there for a minute, staring at the pencil and paper in front of him. He stood up, grabbed his jacket and was out the door yelling at Tommy to tell his boss he was taking a few sick days. He was in his car and on the way to New Haven thanks to a gay man the liked to call him sexy.
