A/N: I know it has bee quite a time since I last updated, but it took me really long to start this new chapter. but finally it's finished and I hope you'll enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls and it's characters. If I did, Jess would never have gone to California and he and Rory would have ended up together. Plus I currently be on the Bahamas and enjoy my life.

No up to the story. Enjoy!

They were walking towards the bridge. It had become something like "their spot". After all, you could say everything started there, with the Basket auction, when Jess had outbid Dean.

They sat down and for a while just looked at each other. Then Rory cleared her throat.

"What are we going to do? Where will you live?"

"I want to find me an apartment, but until I find one, I thought about staying with Luke."

"I think he will be pleased to see you. I think he really misses you sometimes."

"Luke and missing me? That's just unbelievable", he had missed Luke, too, but would never admit it.

"I think I know him a little bit longer than you do. And of course he would never admit it, but I think he really missed you", she said honestly.

"Whatever" he said, but knew she was right.

She gave him a quick kiss. He smiled at her, but then his expression got serious.

"Rory, I have to talk about something with you."

"Shoot."

"When I was in California, I thought about my past life. And how you always told me, how smart I was."

"You really are." she honestly said.

He continued

"And I thought about my Mom and Dad and that I didn't want to end up like them. I came to the end, that I wanted to make something out of my life. Partly, because I want a different life than my parents and partly because of you." He looked her straight in the eye. She was touched, impressed and at the same time proud.

"So I went to school and got my diploma."

Her eyes widened.

"You did?"

"I realized, that I wanted to do a job, because I enjoy it and not just, because I need the money. And then I thought about, what makes me happy, books and writing. And I made a decision. I want to go to college. I want to become a journalist and write about books. And you helped me with decision. You always encouraged me to do more and you became my idol."

She didn't know what to say. Words just couldn't express her feelings. She leaned towards him and crushed his lips to hers. He replied her kiss immediately.

She had missed this so much. His lips and her hands sliding through his dark hair. And suddenly she knew she would be ready to take one step further with him.

They broke apart and smiled at each other. Then slowly Rory got up.

"I have to go. My Mom thinks I went to Luke's for some coffee and probably thinks I eloped with it to Mexico."

Jess also got up.

"I'll walk you home"

He took her hand and they headed towards her house.

Rory opened the door and quietly got inside. She slowly made her way to into the living room.

She saw her Mom and said

"Hey, Mom!"

Lorelai turned around and spotted her daughter. She let out a sigh of relief.

"Where have you been? I started to really get worried."

"I ran into someone."

"Who?"

"Jess"

"Jess? What is he doing here?"

Rory sat down on the couch next to her mother and started explaining everything to her. Her feelings for Jess. His feelings and everything he had told her.

When she ended, Lorelai sat in complete silence.

"Mom?"

"What?"

"Say something."

"Well, you have to know, that I really want you to be happy, hon."

"I know."

"But in the past, Jess has really disappointed you and though you always said you were completely over him, I knew you weren't. I just don't want to get you hurt again."

Rory wanted to say something, but Lorelai interrupted her.

"But from everything you told me, I have the feeling that he really changed. And if you really want this, I'm going to support you and even try to get along with him."

Rory hugged her mother. She knew that Lorelai didn't like Jess, but she also knew, that she only wanted the best for her daughter. Rory was happy.

"And there's something else I want to tell you, Mom"

"What is it, hon?"

"I think IT is going to happen very soon. I think I'm ready now. And I know that I love Jess. I want to experience this with him."

"Oh. Then you should probably start to take pill. We can go to a doctor tomorrow, if you want. I know it's not easy alone and I can come with you."

Rory hugged her mother again. She was so happy, that her mother was her best friend. And now she had Jess again. She couldn't be happier.

So, that was my new chapter.
