Chapter 4: 15 Years Ago

Rory, Paige, and Jess sat around the table just staring at each other. No one was saying anything. Paige looked between Jess and Rory thinking just ask them, they can't get mad at me. Can they, though I deserve to know, but I don't want to make my mom more sad and upset then she already is. Just ask. Do it! Then Paige quietly asked looking at the table. " What exactly happened with you guys?" Now looking back and forth between her mom and dad again.

Rory didn't say a word just looked at Jess wanting him to say something first. Jess with the look of 'no way am I going to start'. Fine! Rory thought

"What happened was…" she stopped not knowing what to say really not knowing why, "…god you know what I still don't know what exactly happened he was the on who left." She semi yelled across the table pointing an accusing finger at him like a 5 year old.

Jess still just sat there and Paige knew either of them wouldn't say anything more, at least not right now. So she asked another question, most likely just as hard but not as complicated. "Ok if you are not going to answer that one than I have another. When did you guys first meet?" When she said that Jess got a small smirk on his face and so did Rory

This time Jess started to say something " God how long ago was that? It was when I first moved to Stars Hollow the first time"

"I think it was almost 15 years ago, but my mom invited you and Luke to dinner and Sookie cooked, then like 20 minutes after you got there you disappeared." Remembering everything like it was yesterday. "You also stole one of my books," she said with a small laugh

" I told you I barrowed it, what book was that anyway?" he said trying to remember what book it was

"Howl" Rory said softly

"Oh wow I haven't read that in forever…have you ever read it?" turning to Paige

"I just finished it, so ready for the next question?" Jess, Rory, and Paige herself smiled

"Ok last question I have for you before you have to answer that fist one." Paige stopped and she looked at her parents. She had already asked when they meet, had there first date, how long they were together, what happened when Jess left the first time, and things like that, almost everything and anything that popped into her head. There was one that was still-hunting her "what would have happened if I never existed, what would your lives be like?" as she asked that the smile on Rory's and Jess's face completely fell.

"Paige, you know that I couldn't image my life without you. Why would you ask something like that?" Rory was in shock by the question, but she knew where Paige was coming from because she wanted to ask that many a time when she was growing up, just never had the courage to.

Paige did look at either Jess nor Rory and just shrugged as she mumbled "Mom don't lie I know you, you had a plan, you always have a plan. Now I would like you to answer that question, please!" her voice getting squeaky.

Rory didn't know what to say she looked and Jess with a 'please help me, what do I say' look and he nodded to her, to just say it.

"I was going to go to Yale, which for a small amount of time I did until it got to… complicated to go to school and raise you and I have never regretted that decision, but you know that since that is were I had meet the 3 Stooges and Tinkerbell. It had been my plan since had been born I guess the going to College part. Well it was actually Harvard, but that doesn't matter." She stopped to think of the other things she was going to do, supposed to do; it had been so long since she had thought about it. "I was going to become an overseas correspondent, 'be apart of something big and set the world on fire' well according to my mother. Really other than that I didn't have anything planned, at least that I can remember." When she finished she looked at Jess wondering if he was going to say anything.

Jess was not going to say a word; he was not even going to look at Paige so he wouldn't suggest anything.

"And you?" Paige asked with a smirk almost knowing what Jess was thinking.

"I was going to get out of Stars Hollow"

"Is that all?" Paige muttered I wonder if there is more then he was telling me and oh ya there is now I just need to find out what that is Paige could read some people well but others she couldn't. "Neither of you guys had any plans together, nothing was…I don't know…"

Rory and Jess looked at each other, then at their hands and the table. This was all Paige needed her parents were so obvious she knew that they both most likely thought about it, just never had the gust to bring it up to the other.

"I'm hungry" Paige blurted out not even going to bother to press the situation. "I feel like Chinese, let's go to Al's."

"Chinese sounds good to me" Jess said, again silently thanking Paige for not waiting to long to say something or not pressing the question.

"I want Luke's burgers!" Rory finally said

"Well, two against one I guess it is Chinese" Jess said smirking at Rory.

"Not necessarily-" Paige whispered to Jess before Rory cut her off.

"I had a kid and put up with the 3 stooges as their bail out girl for about 14 years, you don't know them and that was a job in its self so my vote counts for 3, we are going to Luke's" when Rory said that she got from the table and walked toward the door.

"Does she do that a lot?" Jess asked Paige looking at her and thinking God she is a lot like I used to be

"Ya, but she usually just uses the I had a kid thing I think she gets it from Grandma."

"Well I wouldn't be surprised"
