-The Gilmore's House-

Rory opened the door and called out, "Honey, I'm home."

Lorelai appeared wearing a smile, "Oh hey Kid. How's Jess?"

"Good. He's good, I'm good, and we're good."

"That's a lot of good. So are you going there again next time or is he coming here?"

Rory walked to the kitchen and pulled a water bottle out of the fridge. She took a sip before answering, "Jess will be coming here next time as far as I know." Lorelai nodded and shifted around a bit uncomfortably. Rory noticed this, "Um, are you okay mom? You seem a little weird."

"No, I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just, Honey, I'm afraid you might be moving a little too fast with the Jess thing."

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, I mean you spend every weekend with him and weekdays when you get the chance. Are you sure this is not getting too serious?"

"Mom, we have been dating for almost two months now and it's not like I just met the guy. This is Jess; I have known him since high school."

Lorelai sighed and threw her hands in the air with frustration, "Rory, I think you're forgetting that high school was not that long ago! You're right; this is Jess, the kid who screwed you over again and again and again."

Rory's jaw dropped open and she found herself practically yelling now, "He's changed mom! God, what even gives you a right to say crap like that? I'm not seventeen anymore, I know what I'm doing, I know what I'm getting myself into, and I know whether or not I'm moving too fast. This is my relationship okay? Not yours!"

Lorelai was yelling now also, "Exactly, you're not seventeen anymore! You should now better by now that you have to be more careful than this. What makes you so sure that he's changed? How do you know that one day he's not going to just pack a suitcase and leave without even a goodbye? I just don't want to see you get hurt again!"

She shook her head, "No, it's not even about that anymore. You don't really think I'm moving too fast or that I'm getting into too deep. This is all because you hate Jess isn't it? You just don't want me with him."

Lorelai looked slightly taken back, "Rory no, that is not true. Yeah, Jess and I don't always see eye to eye but you seriously think I'm trying to ruin you and Jess's relationship? I want you to be happy and if he makes you happy then, I truly want you to be with him. I think you just have too big of a bite to swallow right now."

Rory shook her head and whispered, "You've never liked him and you never will. I don't care what you say mom, it always going to be about that." Rory ran over to her room and slammed the door, just like when she was little. Lorelai jumped at the sound and closed her eyes with a sigh. Here we go again.

Rory grabbed her cell phone from her pocket and furiously dialed his number. He picked up quickly, "Can't get enough of me can you?" Jess joked.

"I can't believe her!" Rory yelled into the phone.

"Uh, you can't believe who?"

"She has no right to talk to me like that. No right!"

Jess was finding himself getting more confused by the second, "Rory, who are you talking about?"

"You know what. I don't have to take this crap do I? I should go out there and tell her off!"

Jess sighed, "Who Rory? Who should you tell off?"

"I mean, this is my life. I'm not going to let her stomp all over it."

"But… who…. when…. wha..."

Rory cut him off, "She is the last person I should be getting this from because she doesn't even have a boyfriend. How does she know anything?"

"Hey Rory, I just got shot in the stomach. I think I might be bleeding to death."

"It doesn't even stop there! First she tells me I'm moving too fast and then she says that you haven't changed. The nerve of that woman!

Jess sighed, "Still bleeding."

"She thinks she knows everything about you doesn't she? Well I won't stand for this! Thanks for the help Jess but I'm going to go now."

"Yeah okay, and I'm sure the bleeding will stop eventually," Jess joked once again.

Rory hung up and stomped her way back out of her room and found Lorelai sitting on the couch. Rory walked towards Lorelai pointing her finger, "You!" she hollered

Lorelai looked up and sighed, "Look, no more screaming or fighting okay? I'm sorry. You're right; it's not my place to tell you how to live out your life and it's really not my place to tell you that Jess hasn't changed. If you say he has, then he has."

Rory slowly lowered her hand and her pointing finger. She crossed her arms over her chest, "Apology accepted I guess."

"Good, now tell me because I have been racking my brain for quite sometime now. Why him Rory? What's so special about Jess?"

Rory smiled, "Well, he makes me feel like I'm the only thing that matters to him without actually saying it. He's just so unpredictable and mysterious but completely romantic all at the same time."

Lorelai snorted, "Jess is completely romantic?"

"Well, in his own weird little way but still, it's romantic. I guess just never knowing what he's ganna do next keeps me excited all the time you know?"

"Well, he must be something because I don't remember the last time you were this happy."

"Me neither. Look, I'm ganna go to bed. I'm wiped out." Rory stood up and walked out of the living room. Just before she left, Rory turned around again, "Hey mom?"

"Yeah?"

"Give him another chance. He's a good guy."

She smiled, "Maybe I will."

Rory smiled back and nodded before heading to her bedroom.

-The next morning, Gilmore's House-

Lorelai took another sip of her coffee and knocked on Rory's bedroom door, "Rise and shine my little college girl!" A few minutes later the door opened and out came an annoyed Rory.

"Do you have some kind of death wish? I was sleeping!"

"Oh you could never kill me! Who would make you coffee in the morning?" She said handing Rory a cup.

Rory took a sip and smiled, "You're right! I would be coffee-less."

Lorelai shrugged, "I knew I was good for something. I'm ganna go get the mail."

Rory threw a pop tart in the toaster and took a seat at their small kitchen table. Soon enough, Lorelai came back with the mail in her hands. "Rory's got mail!" she chirped before putting a little white envelope in front of Rory.

"That's weird I thought they didn't send my mail here anymore." She looked at the envelope and noticed it was from Jess. A smile instantly spread across her face and she tore it open. After reading it she handed it to her mother. "His bookstores having an open house and he wants us to come."

Lorelai sat the invitation down, "Whoa wait a second, by us he means just you right?

Rory snorted, "No by us he means me and you mom."

"Well, when is it?"

"Next weekend."

"Nope, I can't go," Lorelai answered quickly.

"Why not?"

"I have that… one thing."

"Mom, you're going!" Rory said getting up to grab her pop tart.

"Do I have to?" she whined

Rory took a bite and nodded, "Yes you do. Otherwise, I will kill you."

Loreali gasped, "But don't you remember? I'm your coffee maker!"

She shrugged, "I'll just get Luke to make my coffee for me. Besides, it will be fun mom!" Rory walked away leaving Lorelai alone.

"Oh yes, great fun. Lorelai said sarcastically to herself.

-That night, Jess's bookstore, Philadelphia-

Jess opened his latest book and got comfortable on the sofa. Just then, his cell phone rang. He sighed and got up to answer it. He noticed the caller I.D and smiled, "It's you again."

"Hey Jess!" Rory said. Jess could almost hear her smiling as she spoke.

"Wow. You actually acknowledged my presence. And this time, I didn't even have to pretend like I was dying."

"Um, what are you talking about?" Rory asked

Jess rolled his eyes, "Never mind. What's up?"

"I just wanted to let you know that me and my mom are coming to your open house next weekend."

"Wow. She actually agreed to go?"

"Well, I had to make a threat on her life but yeah she agreed."

"Feels good to be so loved." Jess said sarcastically

"Well you know how she is. She's going to give you another chance Jess."

"How did you manage that?"

"She's can see that for the first time in years, I'm truly happy."

Jess didn't want to say it but nothing felt better than knowing he made her happy. Jess actually felt his face turning red. "Like I said before, feels good to be so loved," but this time, Jess wasn't being sarcastic.

"I bet it does. I should go though, it's kind of late."

"Yeah, alright well I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Bye Jess." Rory hung up and so did Jess. He went back over to his sofa and once again got comfortable. He opened his book to being when all the sudden he heard a knock on his door.

Jess threw his hands in the air, "For the love of god!" He stood up yet again and angrily made his way towards the door. "Whoever you are you need to go away because…" his words faded when he opened the door. A dead silence fell over him as he stared at the person before him. After a few moments of shock, Jess whispered, "Tessa."

A/N: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry okay? Please don't hurt me for bringing her back. She will not be staying long I can promise that. I can also promise that she's not pregnant or anything along those lines. I wish I could just write lovey dovey Literati scenes for the rest of the story but that's not very realistic. I need her to stir up their relationship a bit. She will be gone again before you know it. Please review!
