Jess had had difficulty getting his brain to switch off, he'd tried reading but Luke had complained about the light and the fact that he had to get up early the next morning for a delivery.

Finally Jess got up and left to go and walk off some of the energy in the hopes that it would help his brain switch off.

The town looked the same as it had when he had been here for Liz's wedding only at this time of night there was little chance of running into Taylor.

He head to the one place in town that had most good memories for him, the bridge. When he got there he saw a figure sat there in the moonlight.

"Rory?"

"Jess." She jumped slightly. "You scared me."

"Its 3am what are you doing here, in your pyjamas? You should be asleep."

"Acid indigestion." Rory replied. "Turns out the baby isn't a big fan of pepperoni. But is seems to be okay with vegetables, which Luke thinks is some cosmic force trying to tell me I should eat healthier."

"He's probably right." Jess sat down next to her.

"What are you doing out here?" Rory inquired.

"Couldn't sleep."

"Any particular reason?"

"I kept thinking about how much college costs." He replied.

"Don't worry I have college covered." Rory stated.

"I didn't mean for you I meant…"

"I know. My great-grandmother set up a trust fund for me which I get when I'm twenty-five it's more than enough to send the baby to college and private school." Rory explained.

"One less thing to worry about. Are you sure you're not cold?"

"I'm fine." Rory replied.

"So is the world going to have another Lorelai Gilmore to contend with?" Jess asked.

"We could always call her Lola for short." Rory suggested.

"Or Lori." Jess offered.

"That reminds me of Laurie from Little Women. But no more Lorelais. It might work as a middle name, but I think three is enough for one family."

"It could be a boy." Jess suggested.

"It could."

"Luke said I could stay." Jess blurted out.

"Jess are you sure that's what you want?" Rory asked.

"I'm sure."

"We can find a book."

"A book?" Jess questioned.

"Of names."

"Right."

"We've read enough books between us we should be able to come up with something." Rory stated.

"We've probably read more books the whole of Stars Hollow High School combined."

"You should see the library at Yale. It's not as big as the ones at Harvard but there is something about being there." Jess smiled. "You should come by one day and see it."

"I'd like that." He paused. "I got my GED."

"I know Luke told me."

"Took at couple classes at night school."

"That's great school is important."

"I'm sorry." Jess apologised.

"For what?"

"Everything."

"Jess, me getting pregnant was an accident. Most people in the world were conceived by accident. I was. Would I have preferred to wait until I was older to have kids, yes. But it happened; it's not the end of the world. It's the whole philosophy about life giving you lemons."

"Do you even know how to make lemonade?" Jess asked.

"No, but I could give them to Luke and he'd make me lemonade or Sookie." She paused. "It's good to see you again Jess."

"It's good to see you too."

Jess leant in to kiss her.

"Jess, I can't." Rory put a hand on his chest to stop him.

"Rory? You know I love you."

"I love you too, but I can't deal with this right now. My life is complicated enough; I just need to focus on the baby and school right now. Can we just be friends?"

"Sure if that's what you want."

"I should get home before Mom wakes up and realised I'm not there." Rory got to her feet. "Good night Jess."

"Good morning Rory." He mumbled.
