One with this ending...
Rory sat there taking everything in. Jess had only left because he'd been protecting his daughter. He'd only left because he thought she was cheating on him. Jess hadn't done anything wrong. He'd acted on what he'd thought.
Did that mean she still loved him?
Rory sighed and got up, she knew her answer. She had to find Jess and tell him the truth. He'd couldn't have gotten too far since he didn't have a car. Rory walked out of the house and down the driveway. She saw Jess a little in the distance.
" Jess!" Rory yelled at the top of her lungs. Rory ran after him.
Jess turned around and stopped walking. " Rory, I don't want to talk about it."
Rory stopped in front of him. " Jess, you're all wrong. I was not cheating on you! I still love you!"
Jess stared at his wife, who stood there close to tears. Was she telling him the truth? Had it all been a miss-understanding?
Jess turned and started walking back to the house, motioning for her to follow. Rory followed, hoping he'd give her a chance to explain.
Once they were inside Jess sat back down on the couch. Rory quietly sat down on the couch across from him.
" Jess. I only went to Dean's house because his wife left him and he's very upset," Rory paused letting the words sink in. " His mother called me and asked me to come over as an old friend. Dean's been drinking and smoking ever since his wife left. Oh Jess, the only reason I kept the truth from you is because I didn't want you to make more out of it than it was. I'm so sorry, please believe me."
By this time Rory was in tears. Jess shook his head. " I can't believe this, Rory." Jess stood up and was about to leave again when Rory jumped up and pulled his sleeve.
" Jess, it's the truth. Call Dean, have him tell you," Rory said crying heavily.
She let go of his sleeve only to pick up the phone and to start dialing. Then she handed the phone to Jess.
" Hello?" said in a groggy voice.
" Dean? Man, you sound bad."
" Jess? You called me just to be a jerk, sounds just as I remember you."
" Dean. Is it true that your wife left you?"
" Yes. So you called just to ask me that and to flaunt what you have. That's right, you finally won Rory she's yours. Have a happy life together and leave me alone," Dean said forcefully then slammed the phone down.
Jess turned at stared at Rory. " You really did tell me the truth. Oh, Rory, I'm so sorry." Jess walked over to Rory and pulled her into his arms.
" Forgive me for leaving you, Hon." Jess stared into Rory's blue eyes solemnly.
Rory nodded and kissed him. Oh how she missed being held is his arms and being kissed by him.
Just them the front door open and in walked Liz and Jenny. Liz smiled and Jenny walked into the room.
" Mommy!" Jenny screeched and ran over to Rory.
Rory bent down and picked her up. " Hi, Precious. Mommy's back and we're going home."
Jenny giggled and held on to her mother tight.
Liz walked in. " Glad you two settled everything. Why don't you stay the night? You can have breakfast tomorrow then leave."
The two nodded. Tomorrow they would start on the long trip home.
A few days later they approached Stars Hollow, on they're way home.
" Stop here, Jess. I need to talk to Taylor," Rory said practically jumping out of the car. She ran into the market and poked Taylor. He turned around then smiled at Rory.
" Is everything alright? Do you have Jenny?"
" Yes. I have Jenny and yes everything's all right. It was all a big miss-understanding."
Rory smiled and walked back to the car. Jess now stood next to the car with Jenny is his arms.
" Come. Quick!" Rory said pulling Jess along as she ran down the street. Jess followed trailing after Rory, his daughter trailing behind him. She stopped at the town Gazebo. She ran up the steps and started yelling.
" Everyone! Everyone stop here! I have to clear my husband's record. He didn't leave for any wrong reason. It was all just a huge miss-understanding." Rory then turned around and kissed Jess. Jess picked her up and twirled her in the air.
" I love you, Jess. I always will." Rory sighed. Her life was perfect again. She had a wonderful husband and daughter.
