She cried as she thought about the events that had led to this. How could she have let this happen? How could he have let this happen? What would her grandparents say? What would his family say? What about her town? But most importantly her Mother. She was Rory Gilmore. The most unlikely girl to get pregnant at 17. But it had happened. And she had no clue what to do. He didn't even know. She didn't want to tell him in case of a bad reaction. She didn't want him to be like her Father. He was either going to be in the baby's life all the way or not at all.
Rory walked through Chilton thinking about how she could of let this happen. It had been a night of mistakes. They hadn't even been together when they had sex. She just wanted to have some fun and he had provided it. She didn't regret anything that had happened. She only regretted not being safe. She knew the saying "If your old enough to have sex, your old enough for the consequences that come with it".
She made her way to his lunch table that afternoon. She had written him a note and planned on giving it to him then. She saw him sitting with his friends who happened to be her friends too. Logan, Madeline, Colin, Louise, Finn, Raleigh, Paris, and Jess all sat around the table. She had become best friends with all of them. Mainly because of Jess.
When she was a freshman her mom and Luke got together and Jess moved to town. Her and Jess became best friends quickly because they had a lot in common. That summer her Mom and Luke had gotten married and Luke and Jess moved in with Lorelei and Rory. Luke and Lorelei decided it would be a good idea for both Jess and Rory to go to Chilton. Emily and Richard were happy to pay for it as long as the whole family came to Friday night dinners.
Both Rory and Jess started school. Jess instantly became friends with the troublemakers, Finn, Colin, Tristan, and Logan. And Rory became friends with Louise, Paris, Madeline, and Raleigh. And then eventually they all became friends. Well some were more than just friends. Jess and Paris had been going out for almost 2 years. Logan and Louise were in a no strings relationship. But anyone could see they were in love. Colin and Madeline hooked up every once in a while. And Finn was in love with Raleigh. But Raleigh was in denial about the whole situation.
And that brings us to Tristan and Rory. They never admitted to having feelings for each other. They skirted around the issue. And ignored the sexual tension. Tristan had been Rory's first kiss. He beat up Rory's first boyfriend when he broke up with her. He was the first to notice the change in her, when she had gone from happy to frightened because of her jackass boyfriend, Keegan. He had started threatening her and hitting her. She had tried to hide it. But Tristan saw right through her façade. She begged him not to tell anyone but he knew if he didn't Keegan would continue to hurt her. He had found Keegan and beat him to a bloody pulp. After that Keegan left her alone. Actually all the guys left her alone. Everybody knew she was Tristan's. Everybody except for Rory.
The week before she had sex was horrible. Her father had come into town and started drama between her mother and Luke. Tristan had found out about Keegan, and her and Jess had got into a big fight that had ended up in them not talking for 3 days. So she went to Logan's party with then intention of having fun. And she did have fun. Her and Tristan hung out the whole night. They danced and flirted. And eventually they ended up in his bedroom at his house. It was the most romantic night of both of their lives. It was filled with love.
The morning when they woke up. They decided nothing had changed. She was still his Mary and he was Tristan. They were still best friends. They didn't speak of the night.
Now a month later they were going to have to. She had panicked when they week of her period had come and gone and she had not received it. She drove to Hartford and got a pregnancy test at a Planned parenthood. She was a month along. At first she had been devastated. Then excited then devastated again at the thought of Tristan not wanting a baby.
She sat down at the table and greeted all of her friends. They gave her a slightly concerned look when they noticed her red eyes. "What's wrong Ror?" Raleigh asked. "Nothing, I was just reading a book and got a little to caught up in it", she lied. They belived her though. They no reason not to. They talked about the upcoming weekend. And made plans to all hang out in stars hollow. When the lunch bell rang Rory called out Tristans name and handed him the note. He gave her a funny look. She wasn't the note writing type of person. When he got to his next class he sat down and opened the note.
Dear Tristan, I know we agreed we weren't going to talk about the night that we had sex. But I can't ignore it anymore. I went to planned parenthood a week ago. And they gave me a test. When the results came back I was shocked just like your going to be. I'm pregnant. I sat down the night after I found out and did the math over and over again wondering why we were in the 2 of people whose condom didn't work. I just couldn't understand why this had happened to us. We were safe and responsible. It just wasn't fair. I haven't told my family yet. I wanted you to be there first to know. Im a month along. I'm not going to pressure you into being apart of the baby's life. I do want you to be but if you don't; I won't hold it against you. I mean who wants to be parents at 17? We haven't even graduated high school yet. If you want to help we'll do it together. I'm keeping the baby. Abortion would have never been a choice. I thought about adoption but I don't think I could live knowing I gave my son or daughter up. So I decided to keep it. My mom did it all on her own. I know I could do the same thing if I had to. Although, I'm hoping I won't have to do this alone. If you want to talk about this, I'll be here. I know it takes a while to get used to the idea. I don't even think I'm used to the idea yet. Call me okay? Love, Rory
Tristan asked the teacher if he could be excused from class to go to the restroom. The teacher agreed. Tristan knew what he had to do.
A/N I don't own anything except Raleigh.
