Liv walked up to the apartment, where Jess was sat reading. It had been 4 days since the dinner and she still hadn't told him. She knew she had to soon; it was going to start showing. She was 8 weeks along; she couldn't hide it for much longer.

"Jess," she said.

"Hey," he smiled, "are you ok? You look awful."

"Gee thanks," she smiled weakly, sitting down, "I need to tell you something."

"Hang on, let me get you a glass of water," he said, feeling her forehead, "you're burning up."

"Jess," she tried.

"Shh," he told her, "drink this."

"Babe, I'm fine," she brushed him away, "I need to talk to you."

"What is it?" He asked.

"I...erm...well," she stuttered, looking down.

He grabbed her hands, "you can tell me anything."

She looked up and bit her bottom lip, "I'm-"

She breathed a breath of relief as her phone began to ring, "I gotta take this," she said, walking out.

He looked at her, confused, as she walked out of their apartment.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hey, hon," her mom said.

"What's up?" Liv asked.

"Nothing," Lorelai said, innocently, "you told him yet?"

Liv laughed nervously, "well about that mom..."

"Babe! You gotta tell him!" Lorelai told her in disbelief.

"I know! I was about to, and then you called so thanks for that," Liv rolled her eyes, annoyed.

"Sorry! I'm gonna hang up now. Tell him," Lorelai said quickly, "love you."

Liv put her phone back in her pocket and went back into the apartment. Jess was on the phone, now, pacing frantically, "and why can't you handle it?...c'mon, Chris...ok, man, I'll be there soon...yeah you do owe me!...see you tonight," he put his phone down and sighed, turning to Liv.

"Everything ok?" She asked.

"No," Jess laughed, "that was Chris. They're having trouble at the shop, need me to come down, especially 'cause Matt is on holiday."

"Oh, and you're going now?" Liv asked.

"I'll go this evening. I'm sorry baby," he said, walking to her and hugging her. She buried her face in his neck, "what did you need to tell me?"

"Doesn't matter now. I can tell you when you get back," she mumbled.

"Ok," Jess hummed.

Liv pulled back and put her hands on his chest, "better get you packed, baby, yeah?"

"Do we have to?" Jess fake pouted.

"Well unless you wanna walk around naked tomorrow and the day after then yeah," Liv laughed.

"Don't tell me you would mind that," Jess smirked.

"Chris would," she smiled.

"True," Jess said, moving his hands from her back to her waist. Liv panicked and pulled back, worries he'd notice something.

"I've gotta go and see Rory," she lied.

"I'm gonna leave about 4, I'll see you before, right?" He said.
