Sixteen year old Lorelai was sitting on her bed, staring at the two pink lines. She was pregnant, there was baby growing inside of her. She couldn't help but think about how hungry she was. Pregnancy sure did make her hungry. What would Christopher think of this? Emily is going to burn her like a witch when she finds out. She didn't even want to think about how her dad would react, he would no doubt be disappointed. This was going to change her whole life, she was going to be a single mother whether she likes it or not. Well, if her parents had it their way, she'd probably have to marry Christopher.
"Lorelai!" Emily called from the door moments before opening it. "Your not ready for dinner. I told you dinner was in five minutes. Change out of your school uniform and come downstairs."
"Okay." Lorelai huffed before Emily closed the door behind her.
Lorelai started changing clothes and stuffed the pregnancy test at the bottom of her school bag where Emily wouldn't go searching for it.
Rory opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling in her bedroom. She was so hungry that she could feel her stomach eating itself. She could hear her mother and Luke bickering about something in the kitchen. For two people who were about to get married they sure did argue a lot, but that was the dynamic of their relationship. They argue, Luke does whatever Lorelai wants anyway.
"I have to eat." Rory mumbled to herself before getting up and heading to the kitchen.
"Good morning!" Lorelai said handing her a cup of coffee. "How are we today?"
"Tired," Rory yawned. "I didn't really sleep well."
Rory had found out that she was pregnant and it had been consuming her every thought. But she knew that she couldn't tell Lorelai until after the wedding and couldn't tell anyone else before her mother. So, she had to wait a few days.
"That sucks," Lorelai sat down next to her. "Anything I can help you with?"
"Not really," Rory mumbled. "I've just had a few late nights writing the book."
"You have to sleep." Lorelai said in a way that could be construed as mother-y.
"I will," Rory forced a smile. "But we have to focus on you first. You will be Mrs Danes this weekend."
"I am keeping my name," Lorelai said without missing a beat. "I am Lorelai Gilmore. I will forever be, Lorelai Gilmore."
"Yeah, it would be weird if I was the only Lorelai Gilmore." Rory took a sip of her coffee.
"Luke!" Lorelai called. "Can we go to the diner for breakfast."
"I can make you the same breakfast here." Luke argued.
"We aren't going through this again," Lorelai rolled her eyes. "Breakfast is always better at the diner."
"It really is." Rory went along with it.
"You two are crazy." Luke grabbed his coat and the three of them headed toward the diner. The older couple walked ahead while Rory kind of took a moment.
"But you still love me right?" Lorelai asked in an almost child like fashion.
"Unfortunately." Luke said under his breath.
"I'm pregnant." Rory said, staring directly across the street.
It was totally silent for what felt like an eternity. Rory was waiting for her mothers response, but there was none.
"So," Lorelai said quietly. "Logan's?"
"Um, yeah," Rory was looking at her shoes. "I haven't spoken to him yet."
"Isn't he engaged?" Lorelai asked now.
"Yes." Rory said, trying to not to let the tears spill out of her eyes.
"So what now?" Lorelai asked. "He leaves her and raises the baby with you."
"No," Rory said shakily. "I don't know. I am still trying to process this and the twenty questions is stressing me out even more."
She knew he had made a mistake, a big one. But like her mother did, she had to make the best of it. Lorelai reached her hand out and Rory was grateful that of all the wonderful things her mother was, understanding was very near to the top of that list. This was going to change her whole life, she was going to be a single mother whether she likes it or not. But she knew she had Lorelai on side, thick or thin, helping her through it.
A/N: Hey guys. Let me know what you think or if I should continue etc. This was just an idea I had.
