Rory leaned against the sink, heaving as another wave of nausea hit her. It was only a few seconds before she was right back at her place in front of the toilet bowl puking her guts out. She felt as though there were butterflies zooming around in her stomach, and not in the good kind of way. No it was the kind of way that made her want to smack her head against the tiled floor again and again. Needless to say it wasn't a good feeling.

"Ror that's like the fifth time this week. That's not normal." She looked up to see Jess walk into the bathroom attempting to adjust the tie around his neck. All these years later and he still found fastening a tie around his neck an almost foreign concept.

"Come here." She grumbled from her place om the ground as she wiped her face on a towel. Rory had taken it upon herself to teach herself how to tie one.

Jess walked towards her and she hoisted herself up. Jess reached out to help her. "Rory I'm serious. Go see the doctor. Please."

"Jess. I'm fine." She pushed the knot up towards his neck. "It's probably food poisoning from that Thai food that we had on Thursday. Nothing us Gilmore women can't handle."

He rolled his eyes. "First of all you're a Mariano now." This earned him a shove and a smirk form his wife. "And second that was like five days ago. I highly doubt that food poisoning would have lasted this long." He answered. "Look if its that than okay at least we'll feel better after getting it checked out. Please go. For me." And then he gave her his best puppy dog eyes. Something he would not have been caught dead doing a mere eight years ago. But the again a lot had changed over the past seven years.

"You know how I feel about the doctors. Lots of unnecessary looks and needles." But when she saw how adamant Jess looked about the situation she decided that it wasn't worth the fight and she gave in. To be honest she wasn't totally convinced that it was food poisoning either. "But I'll go." She looked over at him. "Bur just for you. And only if you promise we can binge watch Gossip Girl with four different types of ice cream."

"Two."

"Three and we have a deal if you throw in gummy bears."

…

"So do when do we tell everyone."

Jess and Rory were sprawled out on the couch in the living room. The TV was on playing some sort of cupcake show that they weren't watching.

"Well I guess as soon as possible."

"So tomorrow?"

"I feel like we should tell my mom and Luke and your mom in person. I don't think they'd appreciate hearing it over the phone,"

"Well they should just appreciate it period."

"Jess." Rory said looming over at him. "Don't you want to see the looks on their faces when we tell him. I mean we just won't get that same effect over the phone."

"Yeah I'm just dying to get a glimpse at their looks of shock." Jess responded.

"Jess come on. You know that isn't true. They're all going to be super happy for us."

"If they don't all die form shock first."

Rory rolled her eyes as she threw a couch pillow at him. "It's going to be fine. Everyone's going to be psyched. And we're going to be"

"Parents." He finished for her. "We're going to be parents."

Rory turned her head to look him in the eye, her hand subconsciously finding its way to her stomach. "Jess how do you really feel about this?" They'd been married for about a year and a half and of course the subject of children had come up. But it hadn't exactly been something they had discussed in depth. She guessed they both assumed that it would happen when it happened. They hadn't done anything to prevent it, knowing it was something they wanted in the future. But they didn't think that future would come so soon.

Jess was quiet for a few seconds which terrified Rory slightly, before he finally spoke. "I'm happy." He answered as his hand covered hers. "Its something I want." He kissed her head. "It's definitely something I want with you."

Rory's heart melted. She loved this new mature side of Jess. He definitely wasn't the same seventeen year old boy she had once knew. She liked to think that this side of Jess was hiding in that version of him all along. It just needed time to thaw.

"Me too." She said snuggling into him. "So I guess that's it. We're having a baby.'

"We're having a baby." He confirmed as he leaned in to kiss her.

August 25, 2006

Rory stood in front of the door, her nerves running wild. She had been envisioning this moment for months and she couldn't believe that she was actually living out the events that had taken place in her mind for some long. She took a deep breath as she opened the door and walked inside. It looked almost the same as it had almost a year ago when she had come to the grand opening. But now she was in a very different position the she had been in the last time she had walked through the door.

"Can I help you?" A voice thrust her out of her thoughts. She realized that she had been staring at the wall of books longer than what would be considered normal. Looking up she found herself come face to face with a guy she vaguely found familiar.

"Oh…um…hi." Rory stuttered out.

The guy looked at her strangely as he answered. "Hi."

"Um I was looking for Jess?" She finally got out, sure that she was about to pass out, She didn't know why this whole situation was making her so nervous.

"You're looking for Jess?" The guy repeated as he analyzed the woman in front of him.

"Yes."

"And you are-"His words were cut short as footsteps approached them.

"Hey do you know when we're getting the shipment pf the Stevens book?" Rory's heart stopped as she heard a voice that as all too familiar to her call out to the man who stood before her.

"I thought they were supposed to get here last" He stopped mid sentence as she saw who was talking to his friend.

"Rory?" He asked in confusion, running a hand through his hair. 'What are you doing here." "Hey Jess."

A couple hours later they found themselves on Jess' couch. After their somewhat awkward reunion they had made their way to a coffee shop down the street to talk. Rory told him all about her news job. She loved working on the campaign trail and she found herself opening up to him easily. Almost as if things hadn't been weird between them. In return he told her about how Truncheon was going: very successfully. It was a hit and there were talks of opening up a new location in New York. And though it seemed like they talked about everything and anything, in reality they hadn't even scratched the surface. Feeling the tension that was starting to settle in between Jess invited Rory to come see his apartment.

"What are you doing here Rory." Jess asked, finally asking the question that had been bugging him for the past couple of hours.

"I told you. I had a few days off."

"I get that. What I'm trying to ask is why? Why did you come here to see me?"

Rory sighed as she she leaned forward. Obviously she knew that this whole situation was strange. Why had she spent her day off driving all the way here? Why did she find herself in front of Truncheon? Why had she come looking fro him? Subconsciously she knew the answers to these questions but getting them out in the open was proving to be the difficult part. "I don't know." She finally let out. "I guess I wanted to see you. We didn't exactly end on the best of terms last time we saw each other." She waited for him o answer when she realized he was waiting for her to continue. "And I know that was my fault. But I just wanted to set things straight I suppose."

"You came all the way over here to set things straight?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. "After no communication for so long you didn't think a phone call would suffice?"

He was doubtful. She got that. He had every right to be. It was the way things had been between them for the past few years. "I miss you." She buried her head in her hands, almost embarrassed for saying that out loud. "I just…I just feel like like technically I have my life together. But I feel different. And I know that I'm grown up now and things have changed. But I feel like there's nothing familiar anymore. And I just needed to come here and see you. Get a feel of how my life was before." She tried to explain

"Rory I think it's safe to say that we're both different people now."

"He asked me to marry him." She blurted out. A look of shock registered on Jess' face. But before he had a chance to respond she continued. "I said I wasn't ready and he left." She bit her lip, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to cascade down her face. "You were right when you said I was doferent. And I don't think I wanted to admit it then."

Jess looked at her. "Rory I didn't mean to"

"I know. But like you said you know me better than anyone right." She laughed through her tears. "I guess I'm trying to tie up lose ends. And me and you definitely need some tying up."

"We've just never had the best timing."

"Maybe we just haven't until now."

…

"Omg Rory!" Lane exclaimed as she rushed over to give her best friend a hug. "I'm so happy for you and Jess."

"Thanks Lane." Rory replied, hugging her back. 'We figured it was time to give Steve and Kwan a cousin."

"Ah they're going to be so excited." She said. "Did you tell Lorelai yet?" She asked.

"We her and Luke last night."

"And" Rory prompted. "How'd they react?"

"Well my mom was through the roof. You know a comment here and there about being a grandma so young." Rory laughed. "And Luke well it took him a moment to digest the news."

Rory's mind traveled back t the previous night. Her and Jess decided to head into Stars Hollow for the weekend to tell everyone. They had gotten in right around dinner time. And though Rory and Jess had decided that they would wait until after dinner to break the news. Rory couldn't stand sitting across from her mother not knowing what she knew so she just blurted out the news. Lorelai had jumped out of her seat the minute the words left her mouth and attacked Rory with a hug. As for Luke, he sat there for a minute or two and asked if they were sure. And when Jess confirmed the news he stood to give both of them a hug. Rory knew the news had definitely shocked Luke. Even though Jess was not the same guy he was who had waltzed into Stars Hollow all those years ago it was still hard for Luke to process. But he was excited and started rattling off things Rory should stay away from with her mother refuting everyone.

"Luke asking a Gilmore to gave up a coffee is like asking fish to give up water." Which sent them into a bickering session.

But Rory couldn't be happier. Right at that moment she had it all. A husband who adored her. A mother who was her best friend. A step dad who wanted nothing but the best for her. And a baby on the way.
