Amazing Journey
A/N- A future fiction here, I don't often write future fics but I figured I'd give it a go since this has been in my head for a while.
Basically it's set two years after the end of the series and Rory is back at home after leaving the campaign trail after she got married and got pregnant. Hope you like it, please review.
Chapter One: PROLOGUE
'Mom?' Rory walked into the almost abandoned diner with tears pouring down her face, a hand resting on her six month pregnant belly. Her mother looked away from her husband Luke and immediately felt concern for her only daughter.
'Honey what's wrong?' Lorelai asked getting off her stool and rushing to her daughters side, 'Are you ok? Is the baby ok?'
'The baby is fine…Mom I don't know what to do.' Rory cried, clinging to her mom. Lorelai looked over at Luke and understanding Luke told everyone to leave. Coming over he sat Rory down on a chair and tried to help Lorelai calm her down.
'Sweetie you have to tell me what's wrong, you're really staring to scare me.' Lorelai begged.
'He's gone.' Rory said meeting her mothers concerned gaze, a fresh wave of tears fell down her face.
'Who? Honey who's gone?' Lorelai asked.
'Martin.' Rory said referring to her husband of a year. 'He said he didn't want a baby, that he couldn't deal with it and this isn't the life he wanted. So he packed his things and he left, he wants a divorce.'
'Oh baby.' Lorelai hugged her tightly, her heart going out to her. 'It'll be ok.'
'How? How will it be ok? I can't do this alone.' She said looking down at her stomach.
'You're never going to be alone Rory, you've got me and you've got your mom.' Luke reassured her.
'I know, but this isn't how I imagined it. I imagined having a husband and a house and now…I don't have any of that because he's gone and I can't afford the house without him, and I just…mom what am I going to do?' Rory sobbed against her mothers shoulder.
'Hey, look at me!' Lorelai commanded. 'You can do this, you're stronger than you think you are, you're smart and kind and you'll make a wonderful mother. If anyone can handle this it's you.'
'Why did he have to go?' Rory sobbed.
Lorelai looked down at her broken hearted daughter and wondered the same thing, Martin had always seemed so dependable, and now he'd gone and left her. Lorelai thought back to when she's had to deal with the fact that she was going to be raising a child alone and her heart went out to Rory. She may be older, but she wasn't ready to deal with this alone.
A/N- So I hope you like it. Please review and let me know. Chapter Two will be much longer, this is just setting the scene.
