Love ALWAYS Finds a Way:

a/n: I am sooooo sorry! My computer crashed…TWICE! I hope this is worth the wait! R&R!

I'm Just NOT Ready:

Rory rolled of Tristan still breathing heavily.

It had been 4 hours since they got home and they had not once left the bedroom.

"Hey, Tris," Rory said touching his face gently.

"Hmm," he kissed the inside of her hand lightly.

"We're gettin' married," they both smiled widely.

The next morning, they met up with the rest of the family at Luke's.

"My newly engaged daughter!" Lorelai flung her arms about, "And her rather handsome fiancé!"

Rory rolled her eyes playfully before hugging her mother, "Hey, fatty!"

"Mean," Lorelai said to Rory then she turned to Tristan, "What? No love for your future mother-in-law?"

Tristan got this extremely confused look on his face and said, "She's gunna be my mother-in-law? Sorry, but I must ask for my ring back."

Lorelai and Rory both looked shocked.

"I'm just joking!" Tristan smirked before hugging Lorelai.

"MEAN!" Both girls exclaimed.

"Well, everybody's good at something. Right?" Tristan sat down with them.

"Where's Lori?" Lorelai questioned.

"I don't know. I'll call her," Rory said pulling her cell phone out and walking out of the diner.

Meanwhile at the Crap Shack, Lori was woke up by Jess's lips.

"Hmm…" Lori smiled a little after Jess pulled back.

Jess smirked at her then mocked, "Hmm…"

Lori rolled her eyes before kissing him again.

After pulling away again, Lori scooted over to let Jess lay with her for a little bit, but instead he moved on top of her.

"What…" Lori started but Jess's lips covered hers again.

Lori ran her tongue across his lips begging to get in. Jess opened his mouth to grant the wish.

He ran his hands up her shirt making her shiver a little. She clutched the material of his shirt tightly as the kiss became more heated.

She then found herself lifting his shirt then kissing down his neck and chest.

Lori ran her hands thru his hair kissing his lips again.

Jess pulled back and started lifting her shirt.

When the shirt was over her head he realized that there was nothing else covering her chest.

Lori shivered and she pulled herself closer to him.

Jess touched her lightly. When she felt his hands on her chest she immediately stiffened.

He looked down at her confused; she turned her face refusing to look at him as she pushed him off.

"Lor, what's wrong?" Jess asked still completely confused.

"I can't do this," Lori said throwing her shirt back on.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you," he said trying to pull her in for a hug.

"No, I can't do any of this right now," Lori said on the verge of tears.

"What do you mean?" Jess said still trying to comfort her in some way.

"This. Us. It's too much for me right now, Jess," Lori let a couple of tears escape.

"This doesn't make sense, Lori."

"You were gone for a year, Jess. A year. I can't just pick up where we left off. Things are so much different now," Lori explained.

Jess finally put his shirt on, "So, you're saying you don't want to be with me…At all?"

"Yes," she paused in thought, "No. Maybe."

Jess ran his hand thru his hair stressfully, "Lori, I love…"

"I know. And I love you, but…" Lori interrupted him.

"So, why are you acting like this?" Jess paid back the favor.

"Jess," Lori paused to catch her breath, "I'm just not ready."

"Fine," Jess said bitterly and left the house.

She went to the window and watched him leave.

He was heading out of town.

Lori then sat on her bed and wept.

A few minutes later, her phone rang.

"Hello?" she answered still crying slightly.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Rory's voice was filled with concern.

"Me and Jess. We got in this fight. It wasn't really a fight it was more of an argument. No, it was a fight. I don't know what it was. But basically I told him I couldn't be with him right now and he left," Lori stammered as more tears fell down, "he's gone."

"What do you mean he's gone? Maybe he was just coming to the apartment to clear his head or something?" Rory rambled off.

"No. He wasn't going towards the diner, Rory. He was leaving!"

"Okay, just calm down and me and Mom will be there in a few minutes," Rory closed her phone and went back in the diner.

"Mom, Lori needs us," Rory said grabbing her coat of the chair.

"What happened?" Lorelai said getting up as quickly as she could.

"Her and Jess had a fight and he left."

"Left where?" Tristan asked angrily.

"I don't know."

Tristan then got up and went to pay for their food.

"Okay, you go get in the car and I'll meet you after I talk to Luke," Lorelai headed to the counter and Rory went outside.

"Your nephew's mine," Lorelai said with dark eyes.

"What he do now?" Luke asked exhaustedly.

"He left her. So, I'll need you to watch the kids while I go comfort my broken hearted daughter," Lorelai walked out of the diner slamming the door behind her.

a/n: Okay. It was kinda short. Sorry. R&R! 33
