A/N: So, big monologue in the last chapter, sorry about that but I felt the need for the two of them to really talk, and Rory to put her side of the whole Dean issue forward, I know it was long winded though, so sorry for that. I know things have been rough, but did anyone really think it would be easy for them if they got back together? We are on to some better things for our favourite couple for now though. Hope everyone enjoys, and as always, please review.

"It was a bad morning, but things are better now, we talked."

"I don't remember him being much of a talker, but I'm glad you talked. I've hardly seen you this weekend, tell Jess he has to let you go for the day tomorrow, and then invite him for dinner here. I need to spend more time with him now you two are officially a thing now."

"I'll see what he says about tomorrow night but I promise you have me all day."

"I better, I'm assuming you'll be above the diner for the night though?"

"Maybe, I'll let you know."

"Ok sweets." There was a knock on the door that signalled Jess's arrival. "I got this, you go finish getting ready."

"Thanks mum, be nice, please."

"Always." Lorelai went to answer the door. "Hey Jess, you are annoyingly right on time so Rory needs another couple of minutes."

"Right, I should have known."

"She would have been ready but I distracted her."

"I knew you two would spend most of the time talking, after this morning she had a lot to share with you."

"She did. I'm glad you two figured it out though."

"So am I."

"Rory said you need to be heading out tomorrow, any particular time?"

"I'm pretty flexible, why do you ask?"

"Well, you've boycotted all the time with my daughter this weekend, I need my fix of her, tomorrow she's mine all day, after you drop her back off in the morning. But you're important to her so I also want to see you, for a movie night, Rory is leaving Monday morning and you can leave when ever you have to."

"Movie night sounds great, I can push my travel time back to first thing Monday so I don't have to rush out on you guys. Your choice for movie and food."

"You're good at this."

Rory came out of her room to hear the last part of their conversation.

"So tomorrow all sorted then?"

"Yeah, I get to pick movies and snacks for the night."

"Movies?" The girls both just laughed at his response.

"Let's go."

It was mid-afternoon by the time Jess stopped the car in New York, he made the plan to bring Rory here a couple of weeks ago and was glad he had managed to bring it about. He took her straight into a bookshop that he had found a few yeard back, the first floor was full of new books, the second was used, but the third floor was his favourite and he knew it would Rory's, it had shelves of classics, rare books, first editions and even a couple of signed books.

"This place is great." He saw her eyes light up as she walked around the store, he watched her as she walked around looking at the books, he had always loved her passion for books.

They walked around the shop for hours in the end, he knew they would so he hadn't planned much else for their afternoon, he was surpirsed that Rory had only picked up three books throughout the store, but he had seen her write down a list for the next time she was in the area.

"I didn't mean to stay in there so long, there was just so much to see."

"I knew you'd stay in there that long, don't worry, it was all part of the plan."

Rory just laughed at that, she had always known that Jess knew her better than anyone.

"So, you must be getting hungry by now, so I declare time to feed you again." Just as he said that he heard her stomach growl in agreement and both of them laughed at the timing.

He walked her to a park that she instantly recognised as the same one she visited him in so many years ago.

"Washington Square Park, I rememeber this place, that was the bench you were sat in when I saw you."

"Yes it was, now you sit there and stay, and I'll be 5 minutes." The sun was beginning to set but the area was well let and it wasn't dark yet so if felt comfortable leaving her there while he went to the restaurant across the road to pick up there food. "So we have aselection of food here for you to choose from."

Jess returned with two bags worth of food full of all kinds of different stuff, including sandwiches, pizza slices, burgers, fries and even a salad which she looked at questioningly at.

"Here." He spread out a blanket on the grass behind the bench and set the food out on it. "Come sit, you don't have to eat the salad." he chuckled at the look on her face at the sight of it.

They spent a couple of hours enjoying the food and company, talking about books and music while they ate. After they finished eating Jess lay down on the blanket and pulled Rory into himself, holding her close by an arm around her shoulders, sharing the occasional kiss between them, together they looked up at the stars, even with all the lights of the city they could still be seen on the clear night.

"Thank you, for doing this this afternoon. I've had a really great time."

"So have I, I'm glad I did it."
