Disclaimerrr:: yeah, still no.

So hopefully this chapter answers all your questions! Enjoy!

Oh and I have a joke for you to tell all your friends. And make sure you tell them you got it from me who got it from the radio.

Q. Why was the tomato blushing?

A. Because he saw the salad dressing!!!!

Get it? Well then you're on your own.

That night had gone not as planned. But it couldn't have been a better reunion. Tons of junk food, tons of ice cream, tons of movies, tons of Fatso, tons of catching up. Jess had finally fallen asleep and Rory and Rae had been talking for and hour or so. Rory asking questions, Rae answering. Rae asking the occasional question.

"Do you get good grades?"

"Um. In pottery." Rae said slightly blushing and uncomfortable but with a laugh.

"You don't like school?"

"I just have better things to do."

"Like your band."

"Like my band."

"You are just like Jess." She muttered.

"Huh?"

"It's just I loved school. I did really well while your father flunked out of high school."

"No way."

"Yup."

"I thought he said he was a writer."

"Oh he's really smart he just would rather work so that's what he did. During school hours."

"Oh."

"Yeah just be careful is my only advice. He didn't know he was going to flunk out but he did. Sorry. Didn't mean to get so serious."

"No big deal."

"So…is Logan good?"

"I guess. He's got an insane girlfriend and works like crazy so I guess that's all he needs."

"You guys get along?"

"Not exactly. I probably wouldn't have made it out of there without my friends and my boyfriend and my music and my friends."

"Your boyfriend huh?"

"Yeah uh we've been together for like a year and a half."

"Woh."

"Yeah well."

"You haven't- I mean have you- Are, - Have you guys um-"

"Oh."

"You don't have to tell me I just figured I'm your mother but I really don't have any right to ask you that kind of question."

"No its okay. Um." She looked down and smiled slightly looking up kind of red. "I'm not a virgin."
"Oh."

"I'm sorry its just-"

"No need to apologize. Seriously."

"But-"

"No. I lost my virginity to a married man that I had broken up with two years before. I broke up a marriage and I will never forgive myself for it."

"Whoa."

"Yeah so absolutely no reason to be ashamed. At all."

"Okay."

"You like coffee?"

"Only with my oxygen. Me and my best friend, Callie are OBSESSED!"

"You can stay as long as you would like."

"Thanks."

"Any time."

"I was um. I was wondering if you could tell me what happened."

"What happened?"

"What happened."

"Happened…?"

"When I was born, before I was born, around then"

"Oh."

"Yeah. I mean I know bits and pieces but the whole story would be nice."

"Sure. Right, the story, okay then. I'll just dive right then. When I was 21 me and Logan were still dating. We were fighting because we had hit a rough patch."

"What happened?"

"It doesn't matter now-"

"It does to me. Please?"

"He cheated on me. With a whole wedding party. Well actually he thought we were broken up and I thought we had just taken a break but whatever."

"Dude. I am so adding that to the 'Reasons I Hate Logan' list."

"You shouldn't hate him. He raised you."

"Sure, sure. So go on."

"Fine. I had dated Jess back in high school. I loved him. A lot. But then he mysteriously left me. Later I found out it was because he just couldn't handle it anymore. He wasn't graduating and he got kicked out of his uncle's so he packed up and left to California where he met his Dad again. So anyway I had gotten an invite to Jess's book store opening and decided to go. I had missed him and I wanted to see him and his place. So I went and he kissed me. And I didn't know what to do. I only kissed him back as revenge to Logan but half way through I realized that I still loved him. That I wanted to be with him more than anything. So things kind of got carried away and- Are you to young for this?"

"No go on!"

"Sorry. Well I slept with him. And that's when you came into the picture. I had a feeling in my gut besides the fact that I pretty much knew for sure that you were Jess'. The thing was he never called me. Logan came back from Puerto Rico a week after it happened and he proposed. I told him that I was pregnant and it wasn't his and he flipped at first but he was surprisingly forgiving. Like he got that I needed my revenge even though it ended differently than planned. That wasn't why I slept with Jess though. I loved him.

"Well, Logan and I got married when we were 23 after you were born. By that time I was happy because I had you and an amazing job. I had to work a lot which sucked but it was still my dream job. Logan and I started fighting. A lot. It just wasn't the same. And I wanted to be around the house more to be with you, but work wouldn't let me. I went all over the world as a foreign correspondent. One of my jobs led me to Philly again. I was in a coffee shop and I saw Jess sitting in the corner reading. When I saw him I could tell right away that I still loved him. He didn't see me so I left right away. I actually think I forgot my coffee. That has never happened. So anyway, I filed for a divorce with Logan because I knew that I could never love someone this much and be married to someone else."

"Did Jess know?"

"About you?"

"Yes."

"Yeah. When I found out I was pregnant I called him and told him that I was having his kid. He was shocked and scared. After a while he wanted to help but I wouldn't let him because I knew that if he came back, I would fall in love with him again and everything that had been planned with me and Logan wouldn't happen. I needed stability at that point. Too much had happened and I just wanted to start my life over."

"I get that."

"So Logan wasn't thrilled when he found out I was leaving him. He immediately filed for custody and since I was always away, he won. It sucked because he wouldn't let me see you. I was devastated and kind of going crazy. Later in the month, I went straight to Jess'. He opened the door and I kissed him and told him I loved him. He first off was mad at me because I wouldn't let him meet you. I left and then he eventually came around. We got married a little less then a year later."

"Wow. So that's it?"
"Yeah, that's it." A beat. "So. Tell me about this boyfriend of yours."

"God, I've always wanted to here someone ask me that. Well, he's kinda skinny, but…"
