Rory stood in front of the camera once again, she wore a pair of jeans and long sleeved shirt underneath a red logo top "Hi this video is a joint one so there will be two topics to dicuss the first on is my 30 week update so I have at least 7 or 10 weeks to go" she stood from her seat and smoothed down her top.
"This is the baby bump at 30 weeks"
"I have decided that I am not going to name the baby myself as it wouldn't be fair to the father that he didn't get at least a little input. Now the daddy issue, he is contacting me more and he is travelling round lately but he has sent me things for the baby" she explained "I'm getting more exciting, I have all the stuff I need ready for the baby to arrive. I just need to get my hospital bag ready but I won't be doing that until the 35th week"

Rory held onto her coat as the chilly air swept her hair away from her face, she stood at the start of the bridge before sitting on the bench nearby. Rory sneezed looking at the time on her watch she had only started waiting 10 minutes.
Rory took her phone from her pocket to look at the time, she closed her eyes "maybe Mum was right" she licked her lips and put her phone back in her pocket.
She walked away from the bridge, there was a noise behind her she looked over her shoulder "Jess"
A figure walked into the light, Rory smiled and walked towards Jess.
Jess put his backpack down next to his feet as he watched Rory walking towards him, she stood in front of him. Jess looked down at her belly "Wow" he stated staring at it.
Rory bit her lip "Yeah" she stated putting her hand at the side and her other hand in her pocket.
Jess didn't look up from staring at her belly "I don't know what to say"
Rory laughed "Can we sit down somewhere my backs killing me" she said.
Jess nodded picking up his bag.

Rory and Jess sat opposite each other in a small café outside Stars Hollow, Jess stared at the bump as Rory nursed her cup of juice in her hands. Jess blinked "I'm" he coughed "I" he stuttered it was silent for a few seconds before Rory sighed "I prepared myself to see you but it looks like I didn't prepare enough"
Rory bit her lip "I don't know where we stand with each other Jess" she said taking a sip of her juice "I shouldn't forgive you for not… God my minds blank" she said covering her eyes with her hands.
Jess swallowed "yeah I read that it's the hormones that make you forget things easily" he stated,
Rory moved her hand and held her head up with her left hand "You've been reading pregnancy books" Jess nodded. Rory smiled "got how am I supposed to stay mad at you?" she asked putting her arm down on the table and rested her other on her bump.
Jess pursed his lips "You should always be mad at me" he stated "I was that got you into this mess in the first place"
Ropry shook her head "He was a mess at first but I don't see him like that anymore" she said. "I just wish that you handled the situation better, I always want you to handle things better"
Jess sighed "Rory, I'm not prepared to look after a baby, I can't look after myself"
Rory shook hger head "You had other people to look after you Jess. You had Luke but as usual when things get diffulccult you shut people out and you push them away" she explained "it's an excuse not reason"
"I stared at that pregnancy stick for hours on end and my mind was totally empty, you have Daddy issues Jess just like me and million other people in the world but I don't want our baby to have daddy issues because I'm certain that you will not be like your father. Your intelligent, brave and whole lot of others things that Jimmy hasn't got"
Jess leaned back in his seat "Can you come to Luke's with me?" he asked.
Rory nodded "Sure"
Jess looked up and stared into his eyes "I love you"
Rory grinned and took a deep breath "I love you too"

Rory held Jess's hand as they stood outside Luke's, the sign on the door was turned to closed but the door was unlocked as Luke stood behind the counter. Rory looked over at him "You ready?" Jess looked over at her squeezing her hand and nodded.
Rory licked her lips lifted her hand to the door and opened it.
Luke had moved round the other side of the counter to move the stool by the counter he looked up at the door opening smiling at Rory and his face dropped as Jess stood beside her. Rory bit her bottom lip as Luke stopped what he was doing "Where have you been?" he asked.
Jess closed his eyes "I went to see Jimmy in Miami for 2 months and then I drifted for a while" he stated. It was silent for a few seconds "I need" Jess opened his eyes and felt Rory squeeze his hand to reassure him "I was hoping for your help"
Luke leaned on the counter "I'm all out of help Jess" he stated.
Jess looked down "I know" he said.
Luke crossed his arms "the room is just like you left it, I want you awake at 6 tomorrow to open as I have delivery" he stated moving round the counter and getting back to what he was doing.
Jess looked up at Rory who shrugged.
Luke glanced up briefly "the trash won't take it out itself" he stated and looked down. Jess put his bag down and let go of Rory's hand, he disappeared into the kitchen.
"Thanks" Rory said
Luke smiled and looked up "He's still my nephew even though he screws up all the time, should't you be getting back, your mother has already called here"
Rory laughed "of course she has" she stated. Jess came out of the kitchen with two bag in his hand. Rory turned round and they walked out of the diner. They walked to the dumpster, Jess placed them in. Rory leaned on the wall, Jess stood next to her she stood on her tip toes and kissed him on the lips briefly "I'll talk to you tomorrow" she stated turning round and walking out of the alleyway.
Jess watched her walk across the road with her hand on her bump "two down, the rest of the town to go" he stated walking back into the diner.
