Rory sat on the floor of the bathroom with the result of one very careless mistake in her hand. She was silently freaking out. The little pink positive sign staring at her, symbolized a whole lifetime of uncertainty.

How could this have happened? How could I have been so stupid? How am I going to be able to pull this off?

All these questions kept on shouting at her, giving her a headache.

I have to make a list. Where did I put that pen? What if I get up wrong and hurt it? Is it okay for me to refer to it as it? I don't know the sex yet what else can I refer to it as? The baby? No that sounds to… I don't know personal… yet impersonal. Oh no, what about mom? What's she going to think? What if she's mad? Oh no! What about him? If I tell him then I ruin his life as well as mine. But he has a right to know. I have to call mom. I know what she'll say, but I have to hear it. Don't I? Yes.

Eventually Rory got up the nerve to dial the phone.

…Ring…

"Hello, Loralie's phone service, please stay on the line your call is very important to us."

"Mom, I did something bad, and I just need to tell you like ripping off a Band-Aid or I'll chicken out, so brace yourself."

"Okay kiddo, are we talking bad like stole another yacht, or bad like killed a man and ran for it?"

"I slept with Finn."

"Oh honey, that's not too bad. You and Logan aren't seeing each other anymore. Don't get me wrong, you should never do it again, but…"

"Mom! That's not all."

"Okay."

"I'm pregnant."

"Mom? Are you there?"

"Yeah… it's just… are you sure?"

"I'm holding the test in my hand right now."

"Oh Rory, I thought this would never happen. Honey, why don't you come home? We'll work out a plan and figure out what to do next."

"I was so scared you would be mad. I don't know what to do. I don't even know if I can tell him. How can I tell him that his life is going to be turned upside-down? How can I take care of a kid? Mom, I can't do this."

"Sure you can, Babe. I know it doesn't feel like that now, but you'll make this work. No matter what happens I love you and I will always be proud of you. You can do this. And, I'll be there to help whenever you need it."

"Why aren't you mad? I just ruined the life you sacrificed everything for me to have?"

"Awe hon, I'm not mad because, I know what it's like to go through this. You need support, and someone to stay calm right now."

"Oh no. What about dad? And Luke? And grandma, and grandpa? They'll be so disappointed in me."

"Let me talk to your dad, and Luke. As for your grandparents, I think you need to tell them yourself. If you don't it will only add to the blow."

"Thanks mom, I'll start packing and come there right away."

"Okay bye kid, love you."

"Love you too."

When they got off the phone both Gilmore girls burst into tears. When Luke walked in he heard Loralie crying, and immediately ran to the living room to make sure she wasn't seriously hurt.

"Loralie, are you okay?"

Loralie looked up, and started wiping away the tears with her sleeve, "Rory's pregnant."

"What? I thought she and that Logan kid broke up months ago?"

"They did."

"But? Is she seeing someone else?"

"No, I don't think they're seeing each other."

"Wait, who is this punk? I'm gunna kill him."

"He's one of Logan's friends."

When Rory started to cry, she couldn't stop, everything just kept building to the weight on her shoulders. Eventually, Paris came home to find Rory curled up on the couch crying.

"Doyle's coming over tonight, so wear the headphones… Rory? What happened? Are you okay?"

"I'm p-pregnant."

"You're what?"

"Pregnant."

"Who's the father?"

"I can't say, I don't know if I can tell him."

"If he was dumb enough to get you pregnant, he should have to deal with it too."

"Paris, he's a good guy, I can't ruin his life like that."

"How great a guy can he be? He got you pregnant and you're not even dating."

"He just is, okay."

*Flashback*

"It's time you got over him. It's already been two months. We're going out tonight, and that's final, Gilmore. Grab your coat and your purse, we're going to the pub," Paris demanded.

Rory didn't try to argue, Paris had been putting up with her moping around since she broke up with Logan. When Rory and Paris got to the pub, Rory immediately spotted Finn drinking alone. Then, she jumped when Paris started talking again.

"I'll be in the pub in case you need me, but I'm leaving you to do whatever, and finale get over Huntzberger."

"Paris, wait…" Rory tried to get Paris to stop, but she just kept on going.

Rory took a second to debate her options. Eventually decided to go hang out with Finn. After ordering a gin martini, she sat next to him. When he realized who was sitting next to him he forgot all about the redhead who had just rejected him.

"Hello love, what are you doing here?"

"Paris dragged me here, and left me alone, and then I saw you drinking alone."

"I'm drinking alone because, Colin's in France and Logan's having dinner with his family," Finn instantly regretted bringing up Logan, when he saw that Rory noticeably flinched at the mention of his name.

"I'm sorry, love."

"Don't be, he's your best friend, it was bound to come up."

As the night went on there were no more mentions of Logan, until they were both wasted.

"So what did he do?" Finn slurred.

"Who?" Rory was confused by the random change of subject.

"Logan. I know it was bad whatever it was, but he wouldn't tell me."

"He slept with some girl who he knew from his first high school."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You didn't screw some blonde whore while dating me," Rory replied somewhat bitterly.

"Wow, kitten. You must be really mad. I've never heard you swear before."

The night progressed further, and both were completely intoxicated. Surprisingly enough, only Finn's judgement was impaired. Rory was still slightly clear minded due to the fact that she hadn't had nearly as much to drink. So, when she suggested that Finn walk her to her dorm she knew exactly what was going to happen. And, up until the moment she found out she was pregnant she didn't regret a single minute of it. He made her scream his name so loud that night, she was sure China could hear her. But, the one thing that really stuck with her from that night (besides the sex) was something that Finn had said. She was sure that he implied being jealous of Logan since Rory and Logan had started dating.

*End Flashback*

I can't tell him. It was one night, and he's not ready to be a father. I cannot and will not let my child have a father who's in and out of their life like mine was. It's just too painful. Maybe one day, it can find its father but for now neither of them need to know.

Rory walked away from Paris to go throw up in the bathroom.

The next few years were filled with hard-times, but Rory wouldn't give them up for anything in the world. The baby was born, and for the first four years it grew up in Stars Hollow. That's when something Rory had dreaded since the day the baby was born happened.

A/N-I'm still calling the baby an it, because I want to start the next chapter with a few moments from the child's life including its birth, and I want the sex to be a mystery until then. Also I haven't really decided what gender the baby will be yet, so anyone who has an opinion I would welcome your vote on the subject in a review, and probably use the more majority one. Unless of course I come up with a reason to use one over the other before I get the chance to update.
