After the movie everybody walked back to the house. Luke was carrying Sophie who had stayed awake until the end of the movie and then crashed. April could not stop talking about how it was impossible for a girl to lift a horse and Lorelai and Rory were gladly fighting her about the movie.

When they got to the house Luke went into the garage with Sophie and laid her down on the bed. He then turned to Rory and motioned for her to follow him outside so he could talk to her. When they were outside Luke turned to him.

"Hey Rory when are you going to tell him?"

"Who Jess?"

"Yeah I just think that the longer you wait to tell him the worse his reaction is going to be."

"I know I just don't know how to break the news to him. I mean how do you say 'hey remember that night we hooked up? Yeah we conceived oh and yeah that's your daughter!' It just doesn't seem right."

"You are creative I think you can come up with something."

"I know."

"Well you should get back into Sophie."

"Yeah. I will see you in the morning."

"Okay. Night."

"Night Luke."

He turned and went into the house while Rory went back into the garage. She changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed. She took out her phone and sent a text to Jess.

Hey I can't wait for tomorrow. Just remind me that I really have to tell you something and don't let me say it's nothing.

-Rory

She didn't want to tell him but Luke was right. He knew from experience that finding out about a child later in life leads to a horrible relationship. She was drifting off to sleep when she got a response.

I will see you at eleven eat a big breakfast because we are going to have a fun filled day at the park! Until then...

-Jess

She closed he phone and put it on the nightstand beside her bed and went to sleep. Rory woke up at eight in the morning. Sophie was still sleeping when she woke up so she changed and then carried a sleeping Sophie into the house. She placed Sophie on the couch and then went to where Luke was making eggs and bacon.

"Is there anything you need help with?" Rory wasn't the best at cooking but she wasn't completely hopeless in the kitchen like her mother.

"Can you make toast?"

"Yes and I am offended at the accusation that I am no capable of doing that."

"I never said you couldn't I was just checking."

"Okay."

"Good so by the time the toast is ready we can eat."

"Awesome."

Rory took the loaf of bread over to the toaster and put in four slices. It wasn't the hardest job but it was time consuming. The toaster nearly gave her a heart attack when the toast popped up. she placed the toasted pieces on a plate and put four new slices in the toaster. She buttered the toasted bread while she waited for the rest of it to finish. By the time breakfast was ready it was nine.

Sophie came running into the kitchen and took a seat on Rory's lap. She saved the seats next to them from April and Ryan. Luke and Lorelai sat in front of them and they all dug into breakfast.

"So what are the plans for today?" Lorelai asked grasping her cup of coffee in one hand and a piece of bacon in the other.

"Sophie and I are going to the park with Jess."

"I am taking Ryan to a space museum in Hartford."

"Well then I guess that just leaves Luke and I to fend for ourselves today. Oh whatever will we do?"

"I sure you will find something." Rory joked.

Luke and April cleared the plates after breakfast was finished. Rory took Sophie out to the garage to get her changed into a cute outfit. Today was the day she would tell Jess about her. Rory was nervous as it got closer to eleven. She had changed Sophie a total of five times before she thought about what she was going to wear. She went through her suitcase and settled on a pair of jean shorts and a teal tee-shirt.

Jess showed up at exactly eleven. His driver dropped his off and her walked around to garage and knocked. He knew that Rory would still be in there. Rory came to the door and answered it.

"Hey Jess just let me grab Sophie and some of her stuff then we will be ready to go."

"No problem take your time."

Rory went back into the garage and Jess followed her. Sophie was playing on the floor with a book while Rory was packing a few books and toys in a bag for Sophie. Rory never talked about it but Sophie was already potty trained which was great for Rory. When she was done packing her bag she scooped Sophie off the floor and turned to Jess.

"We're ready."

"Then let's go."

He held the door open for Rory as she carried Sophie out to her car. Her took Sophie's bag while Rory strapped her into her car seat and then closed the door when Rory was done.

Rory got into the driver's seat and Jess held the bag on his lap while Rory drove. Sophie was singing along to the radio as they drove and Jess was glad. He knew that Rory wanted to talk to him and he couldn't help but think that she wanted to end their relationship. He got the fact that they lived so far from each other and she had a kid but something made him want to try this time.

when they pulled into the parking lot Jess got out and undid Sophie's straps and carried her to the park. Rory followed closely behind. In her mind she had the perfect picture of her Sophie and Jess and it looked like this but she never knew it could be a reality. Rory knew that she was going to tell him it was the when that she had not figured out quite yet.

Jess and Rory took turns pushing Sophie on the swings and then taking her down the slide. Around lunch time Jess's driver showed up with a blanket and a picnic basket for them. Jess spread the blanket out on the ground and they all sat down and had lunch together. It was around three that Sophie fell asleep. Jess had taken out her books and had been reading to her when she drifted off to sleep. Rory found that this was the moment that she was going to tell Jess the big news.

"Jess?"

"Yeah Rory?"

"Have you ever thought about us?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean like me and you married with children someday?"

Jess thought for a moment and then nodded.

"I've thought about it why?"

"Do you want kids?"

"Yeah I want kids, at least three. Rory why are you asking me all of these questions?"

"What would make you want to leave me right now?" Jess leaned towards Rory.

"Nothing would ever make me want to leave you."

Rory was taken back by his words. She really wanted to tell him but maybe the park wasn't the place to do it. He has gone through so much to make it special and now didn't seem like the time to tell him. She backed away from her question and kissed him instead.

"Nothing?" She pulled away.

"Nothing. Now what do you have to tell me? Is this what the text was about last night?"

"Yeah. I'm just worried because of the whole Melissa thing you know?"

"You don't have to worry about her it's over. I promise you that you are the only person that I want to be with right now, other than Sophie."

"Tomorrow Jess."

"What about it?"

"I want you and me to go to the hotel and I have to talk to you about something. It is important to me, to us."

"Okay then tomorrow. What time?"

"I will be there in the morning."

"Is everything alright?"

"It will be. Do you trust me?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"Yes you always have a choice..."

"Not when it comes to you. I don't know but there is just something about you that drives me wild and keeps me from thinking for myself." He kissed her again.

"So tomorrow?"

"Yeah, but as for today do you want to go to dinner with me and Sophie?"

"Being as she is my daughter I would be delighted!"

They stayed at the park for a while longer. After Sophie woke up they took her on the swing one last time and then went to a small diner to eat dinner.

"This isn't like grandpas restaurant."

"Not quite Sophie."

"Is this like one of the places we eat in New York?"

"It's like a mixture between grandpa's and one in New York."

"Oh."

"Is there anything special you want?"

"I want...this." She pointed to a picture of a grilled cheese sandwich.

"Okay and a water to drink?" Sophie nodded in agreement.

"What do you want Jess?"

"I am not sure there are so many choices but I think that I might go with a grilled cheese like Sophie. What are you going to get?"

"Why break the trend, I will get a grilled cheese too."

The waiter came over and took their order. Jess grabbed Rory's hand and held it while they waited for their food. Sophie was rambling on about how much fun she had today while Jess and Rory just looked at each other with amazement. They had grown so close in such a short period of time, neither of them understood what was going on. Rory had a few boyfriends in the past, one of them was Jess, and another one she almost married. And yet even when she was dating Jess the last time she never felt like this. Right now she felt like nothing in her life would matter as much as Jess and Sophie right now. She wondered if she should have told Jess when she found out she was pregnant. Maybe it could have been like this all along not just now.

The waiter brought out the food and all of them ate. When they were finished they all went back to the car and drove to the hotel to drop Jess off. When they got there Rory put the car in park and Jess got out pausing before he closed the door.

"So I will see you in the morning?"

"Bright and early."

"Bye Rory."

"Bye Jess."

"I love you." Jess closed the door before she could respond and walked into the hotel.

A smile appeared across Rory's face. Jess had just told her that he loved her and he didn't even care if she responded. He just closed the door and walked away.

When they got back Rory took Sophie in to go to bed. The lights were out in the house so she assumed that no one else was home or up. She just sat down on the bed and pulled out a book and read until she fell asleep.

She woke up at six in the morning. She picked up Sophie and brought her into the house. April was sitting in the kitchen reading a magazine.

"April can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, it's not like I was really doing anything."

"Thank you so much. I need to head out so can you watch Sophie? I am just going to put her on the couch and she should sleep until my mom is up but just in case..."

"It's no problem. I will make sure she is fine. Is this thing you are going to do a Jess thing?"

"Maybe why?"

"No reason I just think that you two make a cute couple. I mean some people will think that is it weird because you two are technically cousins but I say go for it!"

"Thanks...I think."

Rory put Sophie on the couch and then walked back out to the garage. She changed into a dress and pulled her hair into a ponytail. She grabbed her car keys and then drove to the hotel. It was seven when she arrived. She parked her car and went up to the room. Jess answered the door in his boxers.

"What are you doing here?"

"I told you I was coming."

"It's like seven."

"Just let me in."

He opened the door and and let her in. He went back and jumped back into the bed. Rory went and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Jess get up we need to talk."

"About what? I said I love you what more do you want?"

"Jess!"

"Fine." He sat up and looked at Rory. "Is this better?"

"Put a shirt on."

Jess groaned but put on a shirt.

"Anything else?"

"You might want some pants too."

He got up and put some pants on.

"Better!"

"Much."

"So what do you want to talk about?"

"Sophie."

"What about Sophie?"

"Well what do you think of her?"

"Rory where is this going?"

"No where fast if you don't answer my questions."

"I think she is great. I think that her father is really missing out on raising her and I think you should tell him, screw his relationship with this other woman..."

"Jess Sophie is your daughter."
