I do not own Gilmore Girls. If I did, I couldn't even describe to you the changes I might make. Including giving Milo a long term contract:)

Thanks for the great review response!

A/N - I didn't want this story to be completely AU but there is one thing I'm going to change from the history of the show. Instead of marrying Zach, Lane stayed with Dave and they got married and had a kid. It's not very important to the plot but I want to make sure no one gets confused. The reason I changed it was, to put it simply, I love Adam Brody and I loved him as Dave on the show!

1 week later

"I still can't believe after 22 years we're still raising money for that stupid bridge!" Luke grumbled as he poured more coffee into Rory's cup. Rory, Leah, and Holden were in the diner for a "snack" after school. But Will and Luke couldn't understand how a hamburger, chili fries, and an apple pie count as a snack.

"Oh Grandpa Luke, if we don't hold another Dance Marathon, how will our bridge survive," Leah said.

"Why does it have to be a Dance Marathon?" Luke asked, almost to himself.

"How else are you going to show your super dancing moves?" Lorelai said. "We are so going to beat Kirk and win the trophy!"

"I don't know Grandma. Leah and I have been practicing," Holden smirked.

"Rory, do you have a dancing partner?" Lorelai asked.

"No, I'll probably watch from the sidelines," Rory said.

"Nonsense! You should dance with Will," Lorelai said as she patted her son on the shoulder.

"I have a dance partner Mom," Will said.

"Who? You're new girlfriend?" Leah said laughing.

"She's not my girlfriend. We're just friends," Will said, his ears turning red.

"Of course you don't have a girlfriend," Holden commented sarcastically.

"William Richard Danes! You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend!" Lorelai said hugging Will.

"I do not have a girlfriend!" Will shouted as he tried to free himself from his mother's grip.

"So if you don't have a girlfriend," Rory said slyly, "Who is it?"

"My cousin forced me into it," Will grunted.

"You're cousin Doula? The one who's staying with you?" Leah said. She and Holden had never really met Doula.

"Yeah," Will said.

"How many cousins do you have?" Holden joked to Will.

"Well, I think it's just Doula," Will replied.

"Actually Doula's got an older brother," Luke said. Rory choked on her coffee. Lorelai patted her on the back and gave Luke a glare that said "You better shut up right now." Luke didn't see the glare though and he continued to talk.

"Yeah, his name's-" Luke started but Lorelai interrupted.

"Luke can I talk to you," she said in a falsely sweet voice.

"Sure," he said and he stopped pouring Holden coffee and looked at her. "Let's talk."

"Actually, I meant alone, outside," Lorelai said, her voice getting less sweet and more tense.

"Oh," Luke said and he followed Lorelai out of the diner.

"What was that all about?" Luke said angrily.

"I don't think we need to mention Jess," Lorelai said tersely.

"Why not? Will's got the right to know about his cousin!" Luke exclaimed.

"Yes, but you know how Rory feels about Jess,"

"I thought she would be over that by now. She hasn't seen him since our wedding!"

"She hasn't gotten over him," Lorelai lied. She hated having to lie to Luke but she couldn't tell him the real reason Rory didn't want to hear about Jess.

"Really? Cause she looks fine to me!" Luke said practically yelling.

"Don't yell at me!" Lorelai shouted.

"I wasn't yelling at you!" Luke said, now definitely yelling.

"Yes you were! Now can we drop this," Lorelai said.

"No, not until you tell me why Rory would still have feelings for Jess!"

"Maybe she didn't want Holden and Leah to hear it," she said finally. She couldn't lie any longer.

"Why would that matter?" Luke said staring at his wife. Lorelai refused to meet his gaze. She was staring into the diner, watching Holden and Leah talking to their friend Jim. Luke saw this too. He didn't understand why Lorelai was staring or why she wouldn't answer his question until he saw Holden, with his black hair falling into his face and that familiar smirk.

"She didn't," Luke said quietly, finally realizing.

"She did. At our wedding even," Lorelai said relaying the information Rory had given her that night. Rory had told Lorelai the entire story from when they met up again at Luke and Lorelai's wedding to now.

"So Jess is..." Luke said not wanting to be the one to say it.

"Holden and Leah's biological father," Lorelai finished for him.

"Oh my god," Luke said. "So Jess had no idea?"

"No, only you, me, Rory, and Logan know," Lorelai said.

"What?" Luke said in shock. "What do you mean Logan knows?"

"He knows. He was the first person Rory told actually," Lorelai said calmly.

"When?" Luke asked.

"The day Rory went into Logan's office and she found him cheating. She was so upset that she just blurted it out," Lorelai said.

"So Logan's been acting like their father the whole time?" Luke said.

"Pretty much. It was his idea actually. He didn't want Holden and Leah to not have a dad. I actually give him some credit for that," Lorelai said.

"Wow," Luke said, trying to process all the information. "Wow," he repeated.

"Yeah, I know," Lorelai said, "Wow."

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

After Luke and Lorelai had left the diner, a boy with dark, curly hair and rectangular glasses entered the diner. Will left for his break and Rory headed back home to catch up on some work.

"Hi Jim," Leah said smiling. Jim Rygalski had been best friends with Holden and Leah ever since they were babies. Their mothers were best friends.

"Hi Leah, Holden," Jim said. He sat on the stool next to Leah.

"So we were just talking about the Dance Marathon? Are you going?" Holden asked.

"Yeah, I have to play bass in the band. My parents and Zach are playing too. Poor Brian's got the flu so I'm replacing him for the night. It was either that or help my grandmother make the fake egg salad sandwiches," Jim said.

"You made the right choice," Leah said wisely.

"So who are you guys dancing with?" Jim said.

"We're each other's partners," Leah explained.

"Unfortunately," Holden said with mock seriousness. Leah slapped him on the shoulder.

"Ow!" he said, feigning pain.

"That's what you get for being a jerk!" Leah said smiling. "If you two will excuse me, I have to go and find the Clash CD Jim let me borrow." She ran upstairs.

"So," Holden turned to Jim after Leah had left, "When are you going to ask my sister out?"

Jim turned red. "What do you mean," He stammered.

"I know you like her man. It's ok. I'm not going to kill you," Holden said to his friend.

"Oh," Jim said still flushed.

"Yeah, I would have let you be dance partners with Leah but we really want to win," Holden said,

"That's ok. I'm not much of a dancer. I'm a musician," Jim said proudly.

"What is it with men and Lorelais?" Holden asked Jim. Jim shrugged as a response.

"First Luke, then Logan but I'm sure my mom had more boyfriends, and now you and Leah," Holden said. "I just don't get it," he shook his head sadly.

"Neither do I," Jim said. He then quickly changed the subject when he had a chance. "So what are you doing tonight. You want to go see my parents play at a club in Hartford. I'd tell them they're too old to rock but they won't listen."

"Can't tonight Jimmyboy," Holden said. "My mom's going to Chilton to meet my teachers so me and Leah finally have the house to ourselves."

"That's cool," Jim said good-naturedly. Suddenly, Leah rushed down the stairs, her brown hair flying, carrying a CD.

"Here," she handed it to Jim. "Did I hear you guys talking about Chilton?"

The guys nodded. "Mom's going to be so surprised when she meets our English teacher!" she said happily.

"Why?" Jim asked.

"Cause he's J.A. Mariano, Leah's favorite author," Holden smirked.

"Really?" Jim asked and Leah nodded.

"Do you think Mom will like him?" Leah asked Holden anxiously.

"Why? You want to set them up on a date or something?" Holden said, laughing at his own joke.

"Maybe she will like him!" Leah said excitedly.

"I was just joking. I mean our teacher and our mom, that's just wrong," Holden said.

"You never know. They could meet and it might be love at first sight, just like in novels," Leah fantasized.

"Yes, Jess Mariano and Rory Gilmore, two people who have never met, will fall madly in love with each other," Holden said.

"We could be matchmakers!" Leah exclaimed.

"Ok now you're taking this thing too far," Holden said. "Let's just see what happens tonight."

"Yes, Let's see," Leah smiled.
