I do not own any characters, plots, or anything else pertaining to "Gilmore Girls". Like many, I wasn't happy with the Revival and how they left Jess/ Rory. So, I wrote this story with a time jump and we catch-up with Jess and Rory a few years after the revival. This is my first Literati Fanfiction I'm posting on this site. I hope you enjoy and review.

A Story Without End

Chapter 1

Unfinished

Rory feels like such an idiot for only managing to write Dear Jess in nearly four hours. "Mommy." She turns around to see her five-year-old standing there with her hands on her hips as if she's the one in charge. "Have you asked Uncle Jess yet?" Rory walks over to her daughter. Abby has her bright blue eyes, but Logan's sandy blonde hair. "No sweetie, I haven't written him yet?" Her daughter gives her the same stern look she gives whenever she doesn't read her two bedtime stories before bed. "Why not mommy?" Rory doesn't have any excuses left in her arsenal. She doesn't want to lie to her kid. "I don't know what to say." Abby stares at her for a moment and puts her hand on her heart "Say what's in here mommy and ask him about coming to Daddy Day." Rory nods at Abby and suddenly remembers that this letter isn't about her, but about her daughter. Abby had asked her to write this letter, no she had demanded that she write it. Apparently, Jess had told her once that writing her wishes in a letter are the only way that they come true. It seems that her daughter really wants this wish to be granted because it's the only one she's ever had.

When Abby was three, she had asked her if Jess could be her daddy. It had broken her heart to have to tell her that Jess loved her very much, but he couldn't be her father. Abby had insisted that he was her daddy because he did things with her that only fathers do. Such as, taking her to the park, the movies, out for ice cream, and her absolute personal favorite, the bookstore. Every year on her birthday, Jess takes Abby to Truncheon to pick out as many books as she wants. Abby always comes back with a big smile on her face and at least twenty books. It warms Rory's heart to see her daughter so happy spending time with Jess. She's thankful that he's around because Logan is usually busy with his other family. When she had been nine months pregnant, Jess had convinced her to tell Logan about her pregnancy. He had told her that he hated the guy, but he still deserved to know that she was carrying his kid. When Logan had found out, he had said that he wanted to be in Abby's life, but Odette was two months pregnant. Logan had offered her money to support Abby, but he said that his company couldn't afford for a scandal to break out about their CEO. Rory had told him that he could be as involved as he wanted and hung-up the phone before her anger could get the best of her. It turns out that Logan has been as involved as her father had during her childhood. He visits once a year and that is the day after Christmas. When he shows up, Abby refuses to call him daddy because she says that he doesn't act like her daddy, not like Jess does. Jess comes for visits frequently and has never missed a single important milestone in her daughter's life.

Rory stares down at the daunting paper and sighs to herself. She can do this, all she has to do is put her pen to paper. Follow her heart as Abby had said earlier. Rory wishes that the world could be as simple as her daughter has painted it in her mind. She sometimes envies the mind of a child because their naïve minds can still dream and hope. Life hasn't knocked them down yet. Rory finally presses her pen to paper and writes the first two words that come to mind. I'm sorry. Two words we learn to say as children if we do something wrong. Rory knows she's done a lot wrong when it comes to Jess. Their history has proven that point ten times over. The wait of those two words are heavy and she's not sure where to even begin. What is she truly sorry for? Flashes of her and Jess through the years suddenly invade her mind and she can't make it stop. Jess asking her to run away with him and her breaking his heart by saying no, Jess yelling at her outside of that bar about her dropping out of Yale and her defending Logan for being an asshole, Jess putting his heart out there that night at Truncheon and her telling him that she couldn't help but love Logan, and most recently, Jess telling her that they had been broken up for twenty years and it was her fault that they weren't together now and her telling him that he could do much better than that bimbo of the month he had brought to the party. Rory presses her pen to paper once again and this time the words come to her easily. Filling up the blank pages in their story that have remained unwritten.
