Okay, so let's just say that something did happen in Kyle's parents' bedroom in Keg! Max!. I know that this plot has been done a bazillion and one times, but I just had to do it! It wouldv'e bugged me relentlessly if I didn't :D-x-x-x-
Rory's POV"Um, mom, why did Luke just bolt away from us?" I asked, confused. Scurrying away in a frightened manner was not something that Luke Danes did on a daily basis. Not that I know of, anyway.
"Maybe he saw the glow," Mom said with a fake laugh. I knew something was up.
"Mom," Cue serious tone.
"... okay, first of all, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I just thought with all the stuff you were doing, maybe I should wait," she started.
"What's going on?"
What could've been so wrong? A number of scenarios played through my head. Was something wrong with grandma or grandpa? Did dad swing by and cause a scene? Did something happen between Luke and mom?
"Jess is gone."
Not what I was expecting. I probably should've though. "Gone where?"
"I don't know. Luke knows, but he didn't tell me, " she replies.
I should've known he'd take off. That was pretty much what he was known for. It was pretty much all anybody expected from him. Not me, though. I knew he could do bigger and better things if he actually applied himself and tried. But he didn't try, ever, and now he's gone.
"And he doesn't seem to think he's coming back," my mom explains.
"Neither do I," I said. And it was true.
I tried, I really tried. I tried to fight back the tears that were threatening to fall at any second. I hated crying, I hated being hurt. The pressure kept building behind my eyes, and pretty soon I couldn't take it. I gave up and let them fall.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah," I lied. Mom saw right through it, anways.
End Rory's POV
-x-x-x-
She'd asked just about everyone who knew him at the party if they knew where he was and everyone had said no. She finally found him in Kyle's parents' bedroom sitting in a corner without the lights on. She knew he wasn't having a good time, but it wasn't for no good reason. They had been excited for this party, until today atleast. She wanted to know what happened to make him so upset, but she didn't want to push him. She knew her boundaries.
Rory shut the door as Jess lifted himself off the couch, "Are we allowed to be up here? I mean, Kyle was kind of discouraging it."
"You have a party, you get what you get," he replied.
"Yeah, I guess." She cupped his face, "Sad boy, what's wrong?"
He shook his head as if to say, 'nothing'.
Rory knew him better though, "Something did. C'mon, tell me." He kissed her. "You're not tired of me, are you?" He kissed her again.
"That's a pretty good answer," she said, smiling.
They stared at eachother for a few moments before their lips met in a deep kiss that soon had them stumbling to sit on the bed. Jess laid Rory down and then made his way up to her lips again. He moved his lips to her neck, sucking and nipping when he felt it necessary. She knew what his intentions were, but she didn't know whether to stop him or not. This called for a pro/con list that she didn't have the time to make. Her head was screaming, 'Rory, no! Red flag!', but her heart was screaming, 'Finally!'
She went with her heart. That's when everything suddenly got bright.
Rory's eyes flew open. She had been dreaming again. It was the same dream she'd been having since they day she found out he left. It was about the night she gave Jess her innocense. Only this time, something was different. She had no memory of ever using protection. Of course, she'd never really looked down there to check or anything. She'd been too nervous to do almost anything. But Jess wouldv'e been smart enough to be safe.
Wouldn't he?
"Hun, what's wrong? You look like a deer caught in the headlights," Lorelai exlclaimed, looking at her daughter's wide-eyed expression.
"Too bright, you.. you.. you light switch turner!" Rory whined, rubbing her eyes.
"Guinness World Records, we got a winner here! Worst nickname ever given," Lorelai retorted.
"It's only nine-thirty," the younger Lorelai explained, "My witty comeback skills are not expected to be up to par until atleast eleven."
"Eh, whatever. Hurry up and get dressed! If I don't get some of Luke's coffee in my system in the next thirty minutes, I might just keel over."
"That would not be a pretty sight," Rory countered.
"Yet another sentence goes by with no caffiene. We're wasting valuble coffee time here," Lorelai explained.
"Why don't you head out without me and I'll meet you there?"
"Why?" asked Lorelai as she walked over to her daughter and began to sniff. "You smell clean, no need for a shower."
"I just need to pick up something at the drugstore, that's all," Rory said in a defensive tone, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Okay, okay. I'll wait up," Lorelai replied, hands in the air as if to say, 'sorry no need to get defensive,' and walked out the door.
Rory sighed. She hadn't told her mother about her and Jess yet. She knew she was going to have to sometime, she just didn't know when. And now with the added worry that there might not of been any protection involved in the whole scenario was going to make it even harder to tell Lorelai. But she would go to the drug store and pick up a test or two just to be sure. Rory Gilmore couldn't possibly be pregnant.
Could she?
