Rory woke up and stared the ceiling for a while, she touched her belly and let go a sigh. Her phone started ringing.
"Good Morning" Said Rory.
"The sea hates me, it really hates me… Every time that I got in start to be really abrupt and harsh, it knows when inside, I'm like Moana but backwards"
"Mom. The ocean doesn't hate you, you are not that important"
"Thank you for make me feel like an irrelevant human been on my honeymoon" Said Lorelai.
"It's a pleasure" Rory Stood up and walked to the kitchen. She started to make coffee only for inertia "How is everything over there?"
"Good, I love Mexican people; they just want to get you drunk" Said Lorelai.
"And what does Luke think about it?" Laughed Rory
"It doesn't matter he forgets after the third shoot… Or me, I really don't know" Rory laughed even more. "By the way kiddo, my mother hasn't go yet, would you go to the Inn?"
"Yeah, I want to say good bye to her" Said Rory
"OK, see you soon" Said Lorelai
"Bye" Said Ror
Rory was driving and stopped at Luke's. Jess was reading on the bar like when he used to when they were young.
"Good morning sunshine" Said Jess when she looked at her when she got in.
"Hi" Said Rory smiling.
"Pancakes?" Asked Jess.
"No, Omelet" Said Rory at the same time she sit down on the bar.
"Ok" Jess warned about the omelet and then he grabbed the coffee maker and served coffee.
"No, I just…" Rory was about to stop him.
"it's decaf" Said to her in a calm way, Rory looked at him and he looked her back.
"Thanks" She said quietly, she had the feeling that Jess knew, and she took a little gulp, she opened her eyes and smile "Oh my god! It's good!"
She was really excited and started drinking like crazy, Jess laughed. Rory was feeling like a thirsty man that finally found an oasis.
"I knew you would like it"
"Where did you get this?" Asked Rory excited "You are my hero"
"One time we did a bet in our department" Started telling Jess "The last one who stayed awake won, and one of my roommates is a coffee freak, no like you and your mom, he is not insane, but he can defend himself"
"You changed the coffee!" Exclaimed Rory "That's cheating"
"That's survival of the fittest" Jess defended himself with a smile "The thing is I found a decaf that didn't key me up"
The omelet of Rory was ready and Jess gave it to her, a small silence took over the conversation.
"So, how many months are you pregnant?" Jess tried to seem cool and indifferent.
Rory looked at him, she was right, he knew.
"How did you know?" She asked.
"You didn't drink after the speeches, and I thought it was weird, I paid attention and you didn't drink that night. I thought you maybe decided not to drink. But, when you started refusing the coffee…" Jess looked away and moved his head and his hand telling he figured it out.
"Is that obvious?" Rory asked worried
"No, don't worry, I'm really observant, I won't tell anyone" He stopped cleaning and looked to another table "Now if you excused me, there is a kid that is coloring the tables. You better not turn that way" He pointed and talked to Rory's belly and walked away.
Emily Gilmore was on the lobby of the Dragon Fly with Michael, the guys were picking up their stuff.
"I still don't understand what it took you that long, is not that hard to call a cab and get people that prepare my belongings" Said Emily to Michael who was annoyed.
"Yes Ma'am" Said Michael.
"Hi grandma" Said Rory while she entered, she stopped and looked the suitcases on the floor "Are you leaving already? I thought we could have lunch later" Said Rory disappointed.
"Oh, Rory I'm sorry, but Berta is all alone at the house, and I'm already behind a day" Explained Emily "but I really appreciate you come and say goodbye, not like your mother"
"It's her honeymoon grandma" Said Rory to calm her down.
"Yeah, well she could have come and Say Good bye before she went" Expressed Emily.
"You car It's here Ma'am" Said Michael to her.
"Thank you" Said Lorelai and then looked Rory "Rory, come to visit ok?"
"Of course Grandma" They both walked outside the Dragon Fly "You are coming to Thanksgiving right?" Asked Rory a little bit nervous on the porch.
"Yes I am, it would be interesting" Emily Smiled "well, good bye Rory". Her grandma jumped in the cab and Rory Stood there a while.
Rory was at the Gazette writing, she stopped a little, she looked the clock, it was late, she looked her phone, she sighed, she started to write again and she stopped again. Looking at the screen pensive. She took her phone and dialed a number.
"Ace" Said Logan From the other side of the phone.
"Sorry to wake you up" Said Rory, Logan looked the woman it was by his side and stood up and went to the living room.
"Don't worry, it's everything ok?" Asked Logan
"Yeah, I need to talk with you, I was wondering if you'll come for Thanksgiving" Said Rory
"Are you inviting me to Thanksgiving?" Logan was really confused.
"No, I mean with your family, here at United States" Rory stuttering a little bit.
"Yeah, well…" He did a big pause "We are making the annucement"
"Ok… That's good" Said Rory, she waited a little bit "I know this is strange, but would you think we can talk… When you come here I mean"
"What is it As? Talk to me" Said Logan
"No… it can wait till you come, Ok? Don't worry, it's not that important" Said Rory lying.
"Ok, I'll see what I can do, and let you know" Nodded Logan still confused
"Thank you, you should go back to bed" Said Rory feeling a pain in her stomach picturing her at his bed.
"Bye Ace" Said Logan serious and sad
"Bye Logan" Said Rory and hang up the phone.
Rory Saved everything down the computer and after that picked up her stuff and get out of the Gazette. She walked towards her home but saw Luke's dinner had the light on. She wondered why and got closer. She saw Jess through the window; he was reading a manuscript and making some notes at the same time, there were a lot of papers down the table and he was talking over the phone.
"No, I just read it Michael; there is nothing similar like the Generation Beat on the book" She knock the window several times. Jess Looked at her and opened the door at the same time he spook at the phone and made a gesture to her to sat down "I can tell why you liked but if we are going to print it, we have to speak to the writer and get him down of his ego cloud" Rory looked at the papers, there were notes everywhere just like the ones that he made on her books years ago. Rory looked at him and smiled. "No, I'll back soon, 2 days top, yeah, I'll call you tomorrow, bye"
"Is the cloud too big?" Asked Rory
"You have no idea" Said Jess with an exhausted face.
"So, are you the one that decides which book should be printed?" Rory was amazed; he had everything for doing that.
"No, the tree of us do that, I'm just the last filter" Said Jess going back and bring a cup of coffee to Rory and a beer for him.
"So you are!" Said Rory with a smiled and drink some of the coffee "Please don't be that harsh at me when I give you my book"
"I can't promise anything" Said Jess sarcastically "How is the book coming?"
"Amazing, the words are flowing beautifully" Said Rory proud and Showing off. "Are you writing to or you just are the last filter? "She asked curious.
"I'm working on something" Jess nodded "But, it will take a while, I don't have the time I would like to write"
"I'm proud of you" Said Rory meanwhile she looked at him "You are amazing"
"Why?" Asked Jess
"well… you didn't even need to go to college or anything, you just find your place, do what you like the most, read and write, it's amazing" Said Rory at the same time she realize she admire him a lot.
"It wasn't that easy" Said Jess and he took a drink of his beer.
"What do you mean?" asked Rory
"I had to sacrifice a lot" Said Jess looking at her.
"Like what?" Said Rory curious, Jess looked at her in silence.
"Like Stuff" Said Jess looking other way and taking other drink to his beer.
"Fine, don't tell me" answered Rory smiling.
"It's late, you and… that" said Jess pointing Rory's belly "Should rest"
"Don't tell my baby "That", that's rude" accused Rory laughing
"I'm sorry" He said smiling "you and the next book chief should rest"
"Yeah you are right" Rory and Jess stood up, and Rory walked towards the door.
"I'll see you tomorrow" Said Jess,
"Yes" Rory smiled at him and opened the door. And She walked away without looking back, Jess started picking the papers on the table, he paused and looked up, watching her leaving and after that he shook his head saying "no" and he went up stairs.
