When Luke got up for the delivery he didn't notice Jess wasn't in bed. In fact he didn't notice anything out of place as he checked the delivery off. It was only when it was all put away that he noticed the diner was set out for the day; everything that needed to be refilled had been refilled.

"Jess?" Luke called out.

"Hey Luke." Jess walked out of the kitchen.

"What?... What…?"

"I couldn't sleep so after I got back from my walk I thought I'd get the dinner ready for the day."

"Walk?" Luke questioned.

"I went for a walk around town I couldn't sleep."

"Jess you didn't…"

"I didn't touch anything. I just went for a walk, talked to Rory and came back here."

"Rory?" Luke questioned.

"She couldn't sleep so she was down by the bridge. Did you know she has a trust fund?"

"Lorelai mentioned something about it." Luke paused. "Did you get any sleep?"

"My mind was racing so I did something useful."

"Jess go and get some sleep." Luke instructed.

"Luke I'm fine."

"Jess sleep now." Luke insisted. "I need your help later, go and get some sleep."

"Fine." Jess huffed and headed upstairs.

Luke shook his head.

GGGGGGGGGGGGG

"Dragonfly Inn, Michel speaking how may I help you?... Just a moment." Michel stated. "It's for you." He shoved the phone into Lorelai's hand.

"Thank you." Lorelai smiled. "Lorelai speaking."

"It's Jess."

"Jess." Lorelai said. "What can I do for you?"

"I just wondered if Rory would be awake. I didn't want to go and wake her up if she was likely to be asleep."

"She should be up by now." Lorelai confirmed.

"Thank you."

"Jess…"

"I know, don't hurt her, don't upset her and if I'm going to leave do it now before I break her heart again."

"Very good grasshopper. But I was going to say can you change the water bottle so I don't have to ask Luke to do it since we have plans this evening."

"Sure."

"The rain gutters need cleaning out again."

"Fine."

"I'll think of something else in a minute."

"I'm sure you will. But I have to go."

"Goodbye." She hung up and headed to the kitchen.

"Lorelai is everything okay?" Sookie asked looking at her face.

"Jess is back."

"Jess? Why?"

"Can't say." Lorelai replied pouring herself some coffee. "But he might be staying permanently."

"Does Rory know?" Sookie asked.

"She knows."

"How does she feel about it?" Sookie inquired.

"Confused." Lorelai sipped her coffee; she knew it wasn't her place to tell Sookie about Rory's pregnancy before Rory was ready to her. "I should get back to work."

"Okay."

GGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Rory was curled up on the couch reading when the doorbell rang. She marked her place and got up to answer it.

"Jess." Rory greeted him.

"Hi. I brought you something."

"Book?" Rory guessed.

"Not even close." He pulled a red shinny apple out from his back.

"Come in before Babette calls Miss Patty." She stepped back and let him. He handed her the apple as he walked past.
