It's not an update it's a repost coz I had a lot of reviews saying that Jess was repeated twice. It was because my beta put in corrections and I thought that it updated them automatically but obviously it didn't. There's nothing new so if you have already read it there's no need to again.

Thanks for the reviews and comments

Jess practically ran home after he had managed to give Luke the slip, which considering he was now holding a very awake two year old wasn't easy. It didn't take long for them to arrive back at Lorelai's and for Jess to burst through the door as though he was being chased. He placed Libby down and thought it best to lock the door after him. This may be Stars Hollow but I think we have had more thank enough surprise guests for one day.

He saw Libby disappear upstairs and headed to the kitchen to make Lorelai some coffee. It didn't surprise him to find coffee already in the coffee machine but what did strike him as odd was the orange stain on the floor by the kitchen table. He had been in the kitchen once already today but he hadn't really taken anything in. Dismissing it as most people would he headed upstairs with the biggest mug he could find and filled it to the top with coffee and a piece of Davey's Birthday cake.

He slowly approached Lorelai's old bedroom door to over hear Libby talking quietly to Lorelai. "Mommy are you sad?" Libby was lying on the bed with Lorelai who was clearly crying.

"No ladybug I'm just upset, mommy will be ok in a minute." Feeling she had gotten a satisfactory response Libby snuggled closer to Lorelai who instinctively wrapped her arms around her thoughtful daughter.

Jess quietly opened the door and cautiously poked his head inside. Lorelai lifted her head up enough to see who it was, offered him a warm smile and went back to her original position. He didn't want to disturb them so he placed the cake and coffee on the bedside table and went to leave the room.

"If that's how Rory reacted to seeing me again how's Luke going to take it?" she hadn't really directed the question at jess but he knew she was talking to him. Her eyes were fixed firmly on Libby and she was lovingly playing with her hair.

"I kind of saw Luke after you left….he saw me with Libby and guessed that you were her mom." The comment was directly mainly towards the ground as he refused to look up and see her reaction. "What do you mean guessed?"

"Well it wouldn't take a genius to figure out you were her mom….. She's almost identical to you." Lorelai couldn't help but smile at him, she knew he was right. "Thank you….for being there….it means a lot what you said." She had lifted her head so she could look at Jess who only nodded in response.

She moved her gaze towards a very sleepy Libby who still had face paint on, even though she didn't really look like a ladybug anymore. "Come on ladybug we need to clean you up." Libby only turned over in protest to being woken up and Lorelai laughed along with Jess who only said "like mother like daughter" and left them alone.

He didn't really know where he was going but he thought he would leave the Gilmore girls alone for a while. He hadn't really been paying attention to where his feet had taken him until he was there. He remembered that some of his best times in Stars Hollow had been spent by the bridge and he couldn't help but smile.

He noticed a dark figure sitting on the bridge with there feet sung over the side hanging inches above the water. He had no doubt as to who it was so he decided to approach with caution, the last time they had had an argument here Jess ended up in the lake.

He sat down next to Luke and they sat there in what seemed like comfortable silence, Jess wasn't even sure that Luke knew he was there until he spoke. What are you doing here?" Whoa déjà v. The irony wasn't lost on Jess but he had bigger things to talk about.

"I'm here for Lorelai, I thought she could use some support" no point in lying about it…well about the obvious stuff anyway.

"Why would she need support anyway I thought you hated each other." Luke still hadn't looked at Jess and was quite happily talking to the waster slowly passing beneath them.

"Things change" there was another long pause while like calculated all of the information that he didn't quite understand yet.

"I don't know where to start" Luke was not looking directly at Jess who was purposefully avoiding his questioning gaze.

"She has a lot to tell you, trust me when I say it's going to be harder for her than it is for you. It's a lot to take in at once but I need to ask you something." There was a short pause while Jess waited for a response from Luke, when he didn't receive one he continued. "Why did you guys split up, I know you still love her it's just…… I wont tell Lorelai, that's your place and I wont get involved I just….wanted to know I guess." Jess wasn't sure what he was hoping for but the explanation he got was probably the very last thing he expected.

"I have a teenage daughter. Lorelai doesn't know, I couldn't tell her. I didn't know what to do. I felt like a failure….I panicked….I couldn't handle everything and I wasn't going to be a 'dead beat dad' so I did the only thing I could think of. Your right though, I do still love her." All Jess could do was stair in disbelief at Luke who was not looking any where other than in Jess's direction.

Mean while back at Lorelai's house there was a soft hurried knock on the front door. Lorelai was almost asleep when she was woke by the noise but decided to get up anyway. To say she wasn't in a good mood would have been an understatement, someone had just woken her up, she hadn't had coffee in about five hours and if they woke Libby up as well she would be even worse. She opened the door in a hurry wanting to get rid of who ever had woken her up as fast as possible. She didn't realise that her mood was about to get considerably worse, mainly due to the fact that the person on the other side of the door was going to make it so.
