Chapter 7 – Cases of the Exes
The day after Emma's party, Rory heard voices coming from the kitchen.
"Lorelai, she left Gigi in my care. Now we have no where to go. How was I to know that I didn't pay the rent."
"Well you can go to Sherry can't you?"
"Sherry lives in Paris. She's never coming back home. Please Lorelai we need a place to stay."
"Fine, Christopher, fine. Just don't wake up Rory for now."
"Thanks Lorelai."
Rory entered the kitchen.
"Hey Rory." Christopher said.
"Hey dad. So I hear you and Gigi will be staying here." Rory said.
Christopher looked at Lorelai.
"She can hear through walls." Lorelai responded.
Christopher just nodded.
"Where's Gigi?" Rory asked.
"Sleeping in the living room." Christopher said.
"How old is Gigi?" Lorelai asked.
"She's two. The kid loves adventure." Christopher said with a smile.
Rory walked quietly to check on Gigi. The little two year old was sleeping peacefully on the couch. Her brown hair was pushed back and she was sleeping on her side.
"She's something isn't she." Said a voice behind Rory.
"Yes she is mom." Rory said.
Gigi woke up and saw Rory. The little girl smiled. Christopher came into the room.
"Gigi honey, this is Rory and Lorelai." Christopher pointed to Rory and Lorelai.
"Hi." Lorelai said softly.
The doorbell rang.
Rory went to go answer it.
Lane was on the other side of the door. She pulled Rory outside and closed the door.
"Help." Lane was worried.
"Hello to you to." Rory answered.
"Oh yeah, hi." Lane said.
"So what's your problem?" Rory asked.
"It's Dave."
"Dave? The Dave you dated but broke up with because he went to college in California?" Rory asked.
"Yes that Dave. That went to college in California."
"Why do you have a problem with Dave, if he's in California and you're here in Stars Hollow and you have Zach."
"Because Dave is visiting Stars Hollow and he wants to see how the band is since he left."
"So what's the problem?"
"I don't know. It's Dave. You know my ex boyfriend." Lane was desperately trying to tell Rory her problem but having no luck.
"So Dean is my ex boyfriend. It's hard to see him but you eventually get used to it."
"Ok." Lane said.
"So what's your real problem?" Rory asked again.
"I guess I don't have a real problem." Lane said.
"Ok"
Rory was playing with Gigi, while Lorelai was at the diner and Christopher was trying to find a new job and a new place to live.
"book" Gigi said pointing to a book.
"Yes book." Rory said.
Rory's cell phone rang. Gigi looked confused. She didn't know what was ringing. Rory showed her the cell phone and Gigi looked at it like it was a new toy.
"Hello." Rory said when answering her phone.
"Hey Ace." Said a voice.
"Logan." Rory said surprisingly.
"What, so surprised to hear from me?"
"Well maybe."
"Anyways Ace, remember when you did me that favor and showed Tristan around campus?"
"Yes."
"And I told you I'll pay you back some how?"
"Yes"
"Well I was thinking, that maybe next Tuesday I can take you out to that French restaurant you said you always wanted to go to."
"You mean Michelle et Erik ?" Rory's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, that's the one." Logan said.
"I would love to go with you to that restaurant." Rory said with a smile.
"Well Ace hope you remember to dress up cause it's a fancy restaurant and all."
"Don't worry I will."
"Oh and we'll be going somewhere special before the restaurant." Logan said.
"Really? Where?" Rory asked.
"Oh, that's a surprise." Logan said.
"Come on Logan tell me, please." Rory asked.
"Nah, I don't want your surprised to be ruined."
"Ok, so Tuesday then?"
"Yeah Tuesday Ace."
Rory got off the phone.
Gigi was by the window. She was trying to put her coat on.
Rory smiled.
"You want to go outside?" Rory asked.
Gigi nodded her head in response.
Rory helped Gigi with her coat, and got her own.
They went outside, Rory was holding Gigi's small hand.
A few minutes into their walk, Rory saw Jess walked towards them.
Jess kissed Rory on the lips.
"Hey little one." Jess said to Gigi.
Gigi just stared at him with awe.
Rory laughed.
"Jess we need to talk." Rory said.
"Talked about what?" Jess said.
"We can't keep doing this."
Jess kissed Rory.
"Doing what?" Jess said.
"We can't keep kissing and all that. That was our past. Besides I have a boyfriend."
"Who Dean, you're back with Dean." Jess was starting to get mad.
"No with someone at Yale."
"You had a boyfriend all this time and you didn't tell me. What am I the other man you're seeing behind you're rich boyfriend's back. If you're not satisfied with him, you use me. Is that what it is Rory?" Jess said angrily.
"No it's not like that." Rory was starting to cry.
"We had chemistry between us. Chemistry that you can only find once in a life time. We will always have chemistry. We had the spark Rory. I know you felt it, because I felt it too. Just because I'm not some rich kid that goes to Yale, doesn't mean I'm a nobody. Damn it Rory I wrote a freakin novel. That story was for Rory. I wrote that book for you Rory. I would do anything for you and you know that. I was trying every way to change and to save money so we could be together. And I thought I finally got us back on track with our relationship. I guess you moved on Rory and I guess it's time for me to move on. The dream I had for us, I guess it's gone on. " Jess walked away and never looked back at Rory.
Rory sat down on the sidewalk and began to cry even more. Gigi sat down next to Rory and gave Rory a hug.
Rory just smiled down to the little girl.
"Let's go home Gigi, let's go home."
