A/N: Ok so it took me a loooonnnnggg time to come up with another chapter. I had one written but I didn't like it. So I just restarted chapter 2. So I don't know if this will be a good chapter or not. I really don't know where I am going to take it. So if you have any ideas, just tell me in a message/review!

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls. It's so sad.

Previously In Another Chance At Fate

Sor…Jess? Jess! Oh my god it's Jess!" I practically yelled.

…

"So! Umm how long are you in town? We should, um, hook-up and hang out or something before you leave," Jess said, a little unsure of himself.

"Yeah! We definitely should. I'd like that. But I'm only in town until around noon tomorrow," I said, happy he brought the subject up.

….

MSG: OK GREAT. HOLD ON LET ME CALL YOU. IS NOW A GOOD TIME FOR ME TO CALL AND GIVE YOU DIRECTIONS?

"Hey….Ace.

Chapter Two:

"L-L-L-Logan?" Rory asked…very confused.

"Hey Ace. How are you? Um…I need to talk to you." Logan said a little out of breath.

"Um well I am kind of waiting for someone to call me…like any second now. Can I call you back?"

"Uh I just called to talk to you for the first time since we broke up. Can't the stupid call wait?" He asked frustrated.

"Fine. What do you have to say to me? How it's all my fault we broke up and we haven't seen each other in a long time? Did you just call to complain to me! 'Cuz if it is. I don't want to hear it! I explained to you how I felt and you chose to break it off completely. And truthfully Logan, I don't really feel like talking! So talk quick so I don't miss my call." Rory said, not holding any of her emotions back.

"NO. Ace I know it's not your fault. I just brought everything on so quickly, and we hadn't even talked about moving on. I know it's not your fault. I just wanted to talk and see if I could see you again. Catch up with each other again…try and at least be friends?

"Right now, I don't want to see you. At all. I have to go. When and if I do feel like talking to you, I will let you know. But for now, I just have to say good-bye to you. So good-bye Logan." Rory said, almost in tears.

"Ok. Bye Ace. You have my number, our next step is in your hands now." Logan said, very surprised Rory didn't want to talk to him. But yet, he kind of understood. He just hoped that she realized that they were friends once before, and they could be friends again.

"I understand that completely Logan. And that is what I want. Good-Bye." Rory said a little more forcefully before hanging up.

The moment Rory hung up with Logan, she broke down crying. Luckily Paris had decided to take a quick shower right before he called, so she was still showering; saving Rory from having to explain what had just happened.

A few minutes after hanging up, Jess called. Collecting herself, she answered the phone.

"Hey Jess," Rory said, as calmly as she could.

"Hey sorry it took a while for me to call," he said.

"It's ok. It gave me time to find some paper," she said, trying to hide what had just happened.

"I'm sure you didn't need that much time, considering you're a reporter and should have paper next to you at all times! But never mind that, are you ok? You sound different,"

Crap, he knows me too well, Rory thought.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just uh...er…never mind, I'm fine. So the directions, are they close by?" She asked, trying to change the subject and get the spotlight off of her.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure it is. What hotel are you staying at with your reporting group?"

"The Classy Château, and don't ask what's with the name, which I know you would do," Rory said, laughing a little thinking about the argument they could get into with the name.

"Hey! I would never!" Jess laughed, "but yeah, its like right around the block from that. We have a lot of tourists that come into the store and look that stay there. So if you just walk around the blo-never mind, I don't want you to walk in the New York streets alone. (A/N: I'm aware the first Truncheon Book Store is in Philly, but since then, there company/store expanded, so there are a few scattered all throughout the United States. It will be explained more in further conversation.) I will come and pick you up say around 9 tomorrow morning, sound good?"

"Ok sounds good. My room number is 328 if you want to come up, or I can meet you down in the lobby, which will be easier?" Rory asked, getting more excited about tomorrow and forgetting the conversation with Logan, not just 10 minutes before.

"It doesn't matter. I will decide depending on the time tomorrow. So I'll see you tomorrow k?" Jess asked, getting excited as well.

"Sounds good Jess. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Night." Rory said, knowing that her heart was aching to be with Jess' again.

"Night Ror."

"Rory….Rory! Wake-up! There's someone here to see you. At 9 in the morning!" Paris said, waking Rory from a deep sleep.

"Huh, what! Paris what time is it!" Rory asked frantically.

"I just told you, its 9! God, you're not too bright in the morning are you sunshine?" Paris asked sarcastically.

"Paris! I set my alarm for 7:30! Did you turn it off!" Rory asked, getting more mad.

"Uh yeah! What do you think! It just started going off, I was tired, you weren't getting up. So I thought it was a mistake. God, don't get mad at me. You could have told me you were getting up at a specific time!" Paris yelled, then stormed out of their room, probably heading to Justin's room.

"Uh hellooo?" Jess called into the room, not wanting to step in if Rory didn't want him to.

"Oh hey Jess," Rory said getting out of bed in her pajamas. "You see, Paris turned my alarm off so I didn't wake up…I swear, I should have been ready for you right now. Um will you give me like 30 minutes? You could stay here…um…here! Read some of my pieces about Obama, that should entertain you for a while. I'm so sorry! I shouldn't be long!" Rory said, scurrying around the little hotel room gathering her things to take into the bathroom.

"It's no problem. I'll be waiting…um where are your pieces?" He asked, amused by how embarrassed and rushed Rory looked.

"On the table, I swear 30 minutes!" She said while closing the bathroom door.

"See, only 25 minutes late!" Rory said, trying to hide how embarrassed she felt.

"Rory, I already told you it was ok." Jess said, trying to make her feel better.

"Ok, anyways…shall we go?"

"Yeah, lets go."

While walking the New York block, they talked about well, pretty much what Rory had been experiencing while on the campaign. When they got to Truncheon Books, Rory looked at the building, back at Jess, back at the building, and back at Jess before saying anything.

"OH MY GOD! Jess, it's so big! This is your company! You have come so far!" she said, while hugging Jess.

"Thanks, it's not just MY company though. I share it don't forget."

"Right, but still, it's a big deal either way. Let's go in!" Rory said, excited.

"Alright, let's go." Jess laughed.

Once inside, Rory just stood in the middle of the doorway amazed. It was the biggest book store she ever saw! She already knew this was her favorite place in the whole wide world, not even counting Jess owned the place.

"I love it Jess! I want to stay here the rest of my life!" Rory said, teasingly but also kind of serious. She just felt safe, and at home in this place.

Laughing, Jess teased with Rory and said, "Well there are rooms upstairs, kind of like lofts. Actually that's where we live when we travel to our different stores."

"Different stores! How many do you have! Are they all the same? I want to go and visit each and every one and buy at least one book from each!" Rory said, talking excessively because of how excited she was.

"Well we are still selling and trying to put more out there, but for right now we have one in about 25 cities across the States."

"25! Oh my gosh! Where?"

"Well the main ones are in San Fran, Chicago, New York, Orlando, St. Louis, and a few other main cities. But we have them scattered in other cities, like Kansas City, Tallahassee, Seattle, places like that and then smaller cities too, like Hartford, places like that."

"Wow! You have come a long ways Jess Mariano." Rory said, smiling from ear to ear.

"Thanks, you have too though. We both have made it far." Jess said, smiling and looking at Rory, like the old times.

They, well Rory spent about 3 hours looking at all the books there were, while also talking and catching up with Jess. Rory was starting to fall for Jess again, even though she tried her hardest to tell herself that he would be a friend, but he wasn't capable of having a real girlfriend and settle down.

While walking to a hot dog stand, just like back then, Jess' phone started ringing.

"Hello, Jess Mariano here," Jess said, while Rory tried to hold back a snicker because of how formal Jess just sounded there.

"Oh hey Becky, is everything ok?" Jess asked, with a concerned face.

"Is Sofie ok?" Jess asked, bringing fear upon Rory. She hadn't thought about Jess having a girlfriend. But since he was speaking to Becky about Sofie, she didn't know who was who anymore.

God Rory, you can't just show up in Jess' life and expect him to be waiting around for you after all these years! Rory thought to herself, feeling very disappointed.

"Oh well where is Shane? Can she help Sofie until I can get there to pick her up?" Jess asked, now very worried.

Shane! OH MY GOD Jess got back together with Shane! Great now I just spent this great day with someone else's man…again. Rory thought, now upset with her and Jess.

Why didn't he tell me he had a girlfriend! He just led me on thinking he was free, but no. He has a girlfriend. But who? Shane, Sofie, or Becky. God I really screwed things up this time. She thought, getting more furious at Jess than herself.

"Ok well fine. I will finish what I'm doing then I will come and get her. Thanks for letting me know. Bye, Jess rushed out, while trying to hurry and pay for the hot dogs and put the condiments on his and Rory's hotdog, remembering what she liked.

"Hey sorry about that. Um it looks like we need to cut today short. I am so sorry. But uh…..I need to go get uh….I need to go help out with someone I know who is sick," Jess said, now very nervous and jittery.

"Oh yeah go, it's ok. I understand you need to go help out with your girlfriend. You know, it's only a block from my hotel, I can manage it from here. I'm not a little kid anyways," Rory said, upset, disappointed, and a little angry at Jess for not telling her anyting. "Oh and Jess, you could have at least told me you were seeing someone before showing me around, after all we were catching each other up on our lives! Bye Jess," Rory said, now trying not to cry.

"Rory, what are you talking about! None of them are my girlfriends. I swear. You have to believe me," Jess said, now standing not even a foot away from Rory.

"Oh really? Then it must be someone very important to you since you are blowing off hanging out with me to go sooth Her. But you know, it's fine. We both have moved on anyways. I HAVE to go and so do you. Bye Jess, it was fun while it lasted," Rory said, now walking briskly away from him before the tears poured out.

"RORY! It's not like that, I promise! You have to let me explain, please," Jess said, chasing after Rory.

"No. It's fine. I understand. You have to go now. Bye," Rory said, now tears falling down her cheeks.

"Rory, Shane and Becky are two friends. Good friends. In fact, they don't find me attractive at all. They actually are into each other. And Sofie….Sofie is…she's my daughter," Jess said, afraid of what would come next.

Greatttt I just made a fool out of myself. I worried over two lesbians, and his DAUGHTER! What an idiot. Rory thought to herself.

"Your daughter?" Rory asked, surprised.

"Yeah…now that you know, please give me a second chance? I have to go pick Sofie up, but can I stop by afterwards and explain everything? Please?" Jess begged.

"Yeah, I guess. But we have to check out of the hotel by 1. So if you later than that you can just call or text me and see where I am," Rory said, still in shock.

"Ok. Promise me you won't leave though. Please. Promise me,"

"I promise. Now go get your daughter," Rory said, amazed she even said that to Jess. Jess, the teenage hoodlum she knew that has a daughter.

And with a kiss on the cheek, Jess left running down the block.
