Summary
Jess was always good at running, only this time he didn't know what he was leaving behind.
It's the fall of 2009. Everything seems to be going right for Rory Gilmore. She's living in New York City, has her dream job at The New York Times, and is dating Jess Mariano, whom she reconnected with shortly after graduating from Yale. However, after a massive fight—fueled by past tensions and Truncheon's recent financial struggles—they break up, and Jess vows to rid himself of Rory Gilmore, New York City, the entire east coast, and his past for good. Once Truncheon shuts down, he packs his car and heads west, planning to never look back. Unbeknownst to Jess, Rory is pregnant. With no forwarding address, Rory decides to follow in her mother's footsteps and raise the baby on her own, all while part of her still awaits Jess's return.
Seventeen years later, Lily Gilmore (Lily being short for Lorelai, naturally) embarks on a mission to find her father. As Lily and Jess navigate this sudden relationship, Rory and Jess rekindle one of their own.

Summary
"I think we can take a reign check on the whole me driving at you screaming in a foreign language thing now."
Rory frowned, clearly confused by what he meant in the heat of the moment. "What?"
"You just got us out of a very high stakes situation. Very impressive, Miss Amanpour."
Thanks to Rory's newfound survival instincts, she and Jess manage to avoid hitting both the mystery animal and the bench altogether, leaving Rory's car and arm intact. The two are able to finish the tutoring session before any real accidents can take place and, despite Lorelai's protests, these tutoring sessions start to become regular. Will Jess and Rory be able to figure out their complex feelings for each other under the constant disapproving watch of Lorelai and the townspeople? Is Rory willing to jeopardize her relationships with her mother and Dean for one with Jess? Will they be able to navigate a relationship with everything else going on in their lives, such as the sudden reappearance of a deadbeat father and the constant supposedly empty threats of an ex-boyfriend? Will this added dynamic in their relationship be too much to handle?
