You're Back:

He ran all the way to Lori's house. He noticed Lorelai pull up, but ignored her as he frantically tried to open the door.

"Jess, what are you doing here?" Lorelai asked from behind him.

But once again he ignored her and made his way to the back of the house.

He fumbled with the doorknob until the door finally opened.

Wish I'da thought of that, Lorelai thought.

Jess heard sobs coming from everywhere.

"You go talk to her. I'll get Grace," Lorelai told him.

Jess nodded slowly and followed the weeping sounds to the bathroom.

He knocked on the door lightly.

When Lori opened the door she was shocked to see him.

"You're back," she said quietly.

Jess nodded.

Then something in her snapped. Her tiny fist began to pound him in the chest.

He wrapped his arms around her and fought with her to pull her closer.

She kept trying to push him away, but he was too strong.

Realizing this Lori gave in. She clutched his shirt in her hands and buried her face in his chest and cried.

His back hit the wall and he slid down, placing her in his lap.

"I'm so sorry, Lori. I shouldn't have left like that," he whispered in her ear as Lorelai approached them with Gracie.

She had finally got the baby to sleep.

Lori shook her head vigorously, "I made you do it."

There was a short silence.

"Why'd you come back?" She pulled away slightly to look at him.

"I was just moving my stuff," Jess said lowly, "I was gunna tell you when I came over the other day. And things didn't go quite as I thought they would."

Lorelai walked away figuring they needed some time alone to figure out their next move.

"Jess, I shouldn't have said the things I said. It was rude," Lori started.

"I'll wait how ever long you want. I just want and need to be apart of your and Gracie's lives," Jess interrupted.

"Slower," was the only thing Lori managed to say.

"Okay," Jess whispered and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Then they heard Gracie's faint crying.

"She wants you," Lori smiled weakly.

She moved of him, but remained on the floor.

Jess got up and turned to her, "C'mon."

Lori took his hand and followed him into the living room.

"Dada!" Gracie smiled for the first time in days.

"Hey, baby," Jess smiled and took his daughter.

a/n: Sorry it's so short. Just wanted to give y'all somethin'! 33
