If you've jumped from the alternator to the starter relay you don't have the charge current going through the gauge, so I would expect to see the gauge show discharge.
I'm not so sure. If you ran a wire directly between the alternator and the starter relay you still have a parallel circuit with the ammeter. No matter what the resistance of each path would be, you should still see a positive reading on the ammeter.
