A/N: This is my first Gilmore Girls fic so…be kind. It continues where AYIL left off. Since it seems like we will never know who baby daddy is.
Three words…three simple words that brought joy to some…had terrified her. Three words that had turned her world upside down. Three words that could destroy his.
"Mom…I'm…Pregnant….
Lorelai sat there looking at her daughter wondering how she could be so calm about this. While she on the other hand was freaking out. She had about a thousand and one questions and about a million emotions running through her. She took a deep breath carefully choosing her next words knowing that whatever she said from this point on would have a huge impact on their relationship.
I-I'm sorry you're what?" Lorelai broke the silence first. She was in shock how could this happen?
"Pregnant." Rory could tell that this was not happy news for her mother but…on the bright side it really wasn't happy news for her either.
"It's Logan's, isn't it?" Rory could hear the disappointment in her mother's voice it was the same disappointment that was there when she had caught her with Dean.
"Yes." Rory simply stated.
"So…what are you going to do?" Lorelai took a deep breath choosing her words carefully knowing full well that Rory could bolt at any moment.
"I'm not really sure…I never really gave any thought to having children. I mean…I guess I did but…I figured I would be settled in a career and maybe married." Rory tried to explain but…she could tell her mother really wanted to say something.
"Or maybe in a relationship with someone who wasn't already with someone. God…Rory how could you be so stupid." As soon as the words left her mouth she instantly regretted saying them.
"It wasn't like this was on my bucket list you know sleep with Logan and get pregnant so glad I got that out of the way. I really didn't expect for you to jump up and down for joy considering the situation but…I figured at least you would be there for me but…I guess some things never change, do they?" Rory says knowing that it was a mistake to tell her mom.
"Rory wait…ok…so maybe I handled that wrong but…come on you did just spring it on me. I was in shock well…I still am in shock but…I accept it you're going to be a mom and I'm going to be a grandma." Lorelai says as her face softens at the thought of being a grandma.
"I'm going to be a mom god…that is so weird." Rory says as she tries to picture herself as a mom.
"I'm going to be a grandma who would've thought." Lorelai and Rory both sit in silence both picturing different scenarios. "Uh…Rory you know you have to tell grandma." Lorelai says knowing that Emily is not going to take this very well.
"Do we have to? I mean can't we wait till the baby is I don't know eighteen?" Rory shakes her head. It wasn't the fact of telling her she was pregnant it was more of telling her the how.
"You do know this is Stars Hallow and as soon as you begin to show the entire town will know and well that includes grandma." Lorelai laughed knowing that this was no easy task telling Emily Gilmore that Rory her only grandchild is pregnant.
"Yeah…I know it's just I don't even know what to do?" Rory lets out a sigh.
"Wait…you're not planning on…" Hoping that her daughter had better sense than to get an abortion.
"God…no I plan on keeping the baby. I know being a single parent is going to be hard but…I think I can do it. I mean you did it and I turned out just fine. I am just wondering if I should even tell Logan about the baby." Rory explains taken aback by what her mother had said. How could she even think that she would get an abortion.
"Rory…you can't keep this from him. He has a right to know about this baby after all it's just as much his as yours. The longer you wait the harder it is going to be and the more chances that he is going to find out from someone else and trust me if he finds out from someone else it is going to be a lot worse than telling him yourself." Lorelai says knowing all too well what Rory was going through.
"I know but…I can't just mess up his life and what if he doesn't want anything with the baby or worse he wants to try and take it from me. I mean I don't even know what to say." Rory knew her mother was right she had to tell Logan the truth and the sooner the better but…there was just too many what ifs running through her mind.
"Well…for starters maybe the words I'm pregnant and you're the father." Lorelai tells her.
"So…what do I just hop on the next flight to London or do I call him? And what if Odette is there then what?"
XXXXX
Rory sat on her couch and stared at Logan's number. Her mom was right Logan had a right to know but…every time she went to dial his number she'd chicken out. Was this something she did face to face, in a text, over the phone? It all sounded all too wrong what was she going to say? "Hey, I know we broke up and all and you're getting married but…guess what you're going to be a dad." It all just sounded so wrong. No matter how she put it the lives of several people were about to change. Rory took a deep breath and hit the send button. It was now or never,
"Hello?" A very groggy Logan answered.
"Did I wake you?" Rory asked as she looked at the clock not realizing how late it was in London.
"No…no…I was just working on some stuff." Logan said as he got up from his bed and walked into the living room. "I've got to say I'm a little surprised to hear from you considering the last time we talked. Did you change your mind about the house?" He asked wondering why she called and why so late.
"No…my answer is still the same, Actually Luke is letting me use the apartment above the diner." She explained as she tries to find a way to tell him about the baby.
"Oh." His disappointment did not go unnoticed by Rory.
Well…then I have to ask why did you call Rory?" Rory could feel the walls closing in on her this was it she had to tell him.
"I'm pregnant." She blurts out there is a long pause and Rory can feel the panic set in she knew this was a mistake. "Logan?" She asked hoping that he had not hung up. "Look I know this is like the worst possible time after all you're marrying Odette. I'm not asking anything from you…you can be as involved as you like. Just because we are not together doesn't mean our child should be without both parents. Yes…I know this will be hard but we can work something out. Oh, god you must hate me. Logan please say something. I'm so sorry." Rory rambles on while trying her best to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall.
"I…I don't hate you." It was a simple statement that spoke volumes to Rory.
"You don't?" She asks letting out a sigh of relief.
"Rory, I could never hate you." Logan lets out a small chuckle. "Pregnant." It was a question. More so him saying it out loud made it real to him.
"Yes…and like I said before I am not asking anything of you. I can do this on my own. I figured you had a right to know." Rory told him feeling herself start to calm down.
"Rory, I plan on being a part of this child's life whether you like it or not. I am not going to abandon my child well…our child. Whether we are together having no bearing on my capabilities as a father." Logan never gave much thought to being a dad, but…he knew that this child was going to have a better childhood than he did.
"Really? I mean what about Odette?" Even though she was relieved that Logan wanted to be here there was still the issue that he was getting married.
"She's gone." Rory feels a sense of relief wash over her as the words fall from his lips.
"Odette left? When did this happen?" She asked.
"When I came back from visiting you. I came home to all of her stuff gone." He explains.
"Did she leave a note or anything?" Rory asked.
"Nope…I hate to cut this short I know that we still have a lot to talk about still. But…I have a meeting in the morning and as much as I would love to talk to you. I don't think they would take too kindly to me falling asleep during the meeting." He tells her wishing he could just cancel this stupid meeting and take the next flight to see her.
"Well…we wouldn't want that, now would we?" Rory jokes. To be honest she was tired herself it had been a very emotionally draining day.
"I promise I will call you when I get done with my meeting. And we can discuss me coming out there." He tells her.
"Sure…but Logan please don't change your life for me. We can work this out." She tells him not wanting him to do anything drastic.
"Good night Ace." He says trying to keep his eyes open.
"Good night." She simply says.
"Rory…thank you." He says as she hangs up the phone and places it by her night stand. Maybe this wasn't going to be as bad as she thought. As she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Ok so…there is chapter one hope you all liked it. As always reviews are welcomed.
