Sorry. I know I started off and kinda left you hanging. I had a plan, but things happened differently. Okay, now what you have all been waiting for, the next chapter.

Different Plans

Family Night part 2

Jess and Rory left the house and walked in an awkward silence until they reached the bridge. Neutral territory. They sat down beside each other, at a safe distance and stared at the water.

"Sooo…" Jess said glancing at Rory.

"Jess, I need to tell you something." Rory began.

"Okay, what is it?" Jess asked.

"The little boy at dinner tonight." Rory said. "He's my son."

"I figured." Jess said shrugging.

"That's not all though Jess, he's OUR son." She told him gesturing between the two of them.

Jess glanced over at Rory in shock. "Are you sure?"

"Do the math." Rory told him. "He looks just like you. He has your eyes and your hair. Even your smirk." She said with a small smile.

"Wow." Jess replied in disbelief. "I have a son." Jess was thoughtful for a moment. "What's his name?" Jess asked.

"Eitan." She replied. "It means strong."

"That's good." Jess said nodding. He was quiet a little while longer. "Why didn't you tell me?" Jess asked.

"Well, you left for California." Rory told him.

"I know, but Todd would've given you my number. I called him from California." Jess replied hurt.

"I knew that if I told you, you would've come back to New York and not followed your dreams. You were finally doing something good in your life I didn't want to stop that." She told him touching his arm gently.

"But this was more important." Jess told her. He looked up at her. She was starting to cry. "Why are you telling me now?" He asked.

"Because, your back in town." Rory told him.

"No, don't lie. You haven't come home in six years, now your back and telling me about my son. What's going on?" Jess probed.

"I thought I could do it." Rory said crying harder. "I thought I could do it alone. But I can't. I'm not like mom I need someone to help me. Paris has work, Todd and Fye have their own kid, and you were gone. I missed you so much, you have no idea how hard it was to not call you and beg you to come back to me. But I had to be strong for Eitan. And now he's sick. I just couldn't handle everything by myself this time." Rory said crying.

Just as Jess was trying to hug her Taylor came onto the bridge and found them.

"What's going on here?" He called out. "What did you do to her you little hoodlum!" Taylor said pointing at Jess.

"I didn't do anything!" Jess said. "Hey it's going to be okay Rory." He says putting his arm around her.

"Get up young man!" Taylor said grabbing Jess by the sweatshirt and attempting to pull him up. But, instead of pulling him off the bridge he fell over the edge of the bridge into the lake, pulling Jess and Rory along with him.

Rory shrieked because the water was cold and Jess tried to go to her to keep her warm, but Taylor pulled him away from her.

"Hey man, what's your problem?" Jess asked. "She's cold I'm trying to help her." He said but Taylor continued to hold onto his sweatshirt. "Hey, let go of me! If it weren't for you we wouldn't be in the water in the first place." After a moment Jess got even more aggravated and pushed Taylor off of him.

Taylor pushed him back, and Jess went over towards Rory. Taylor flung him away from Rory and Jess hit his head on the bridge. As Rory tried to go to Jess Taylor blocked her.

"I'll handle this Rory, there's no need for you to get mixed up with this hoodlum again." Taylor told her. Meanwhile Jess had come back over and punched Taylor in the face. Taylor was in shock and stood still long enough for Jess and Rory to get out of the water. Taylor got out a little while later and headed home.

"Are you alright?" Jess asked Rory.

Rory nodded, but was shivering and coughing.

"Look, I think we should get you to the doctor's." Jess told her.

Rory shook her head. "No, I'm fine but you need stitches." Rory said.

"Well, if I'm going, then your coming with me." He said.

"Okay. But we should call home first and tell them what happened." Rory told him.

"Yeah, okay." Jess said. Jess pulled out his cell phone and began to dial.

"Wow, a cell phone I'm in shock." Rory said. "You really have changed."

Jess smiled and put the phone up to his ear.

"Hello?" Lorelai said.

"Hey Lorelai. It's Jess."

"Jess, I'm glad you called. Is Rory with you?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah. That's actually why I was calling…" Jess started.

"Could you put her on the phone?" Lorelai asked.

"Uh okay." He said. He held the phone out ot Rory. "Here. She wants to talk to you."

Rory looks puzzled but takes the phone. "H-hey mom. W-what'sss going o-on?" She said shivering.

"Honey something's wrong with Eitan. He's hot and he's restless. Luke tried to put him to bed and started kicking him. Then he kicked the side of the bed and cut himself and he's bleeding a lot, I mean more than normal." Lorelai told her sounding worried.

"Oh my god." Whispered Rory. "Mom, give him his medicine. It's in the bottom of my suitcase." She said in panic. "Wait, go check on him." Rory said.

"Okay. He's sleeping now." Lorelai said.

"No he's not. He's unconscious!" Rory exclaimed. "You have to take him to the hospital mom, now!" Rory said. "I'll meet you at the house!" Rory said and hung up the phone. "Jess we have to go." She said crying again.

Rory and Jess made it to the house as fast as they could. When they arrived they saw Luke carrying Eitan out to the car and Lorelai following behind him. Rory was still shivering and Jess was starting to feel a bit light headed.

"Mom!" Rory called.

"Rory! What happened your all wet, you and Jess both!" Lorelai said concerned. "Go inside and change."

"There's not enough time we have to get to the hospital, now!" Rory said going to the car and getting in the backseat with Eitan. Jess followed her. Lorelai saw the cut on Jess' head and got him a towel to put on it.

Okay, that's all for now. Not much, but you found out about the fight. I know it was unlikely, but let's just assume that Taylor has gotten eve crazier over the years. Okay I hope you liked it. Please review!
