AN: I think I'm going to try to aim for 1.5k each chapter meaning this one is a little short. There will also be flashbacks to "the night"

Chapter Two

This was not a mother-daughter bonding moment and Rory hated to feel like she needed to explain why. She and her mother were best friends, they had always been best friends for as long as she remembered – well, Lane and her mother were her best friends. Her mother would hate Dean for this. She wouldn't be able to understand that this was Rory's choice.

Rory sighed as she tried to get the house ready. This wasn't a quick decision, this was Dean going away and her missing having his body, his arms around her. She had spent a lot of time thinking of how she could have told him that she loved him and the way that she had stopped. Having sex didn't mean pregnancy, it was doing what was right for the both of them and enjoying the bonds between them.

Rory would stay firm to that belief.

Having sex with Dean was a connection between them. It was about building a bond that wouldn't break or strain because of long distance. She wanted to remember him intimately. There didn't have to be a pro and con chart for that.

As Rory looked up at the tall teenager who was approaching her, everything suddenly started to feel right and she walked up to him. She took his hand sweetly and led him into the house. "Forgive me if I do it wrong?" she asked with a charming smile and Dean laughed.

"It's not like I know what I'm really doing either," he said knowing that this would make Lorelai see him in a new light but there were two extremely lucky things that were happening now. First of all, he had won the lottery which was just one of those impossible plot points that you get assigned in a fifth grade English class or pull out of a hat. Second, his usually very mature and conscientious girlfriend was giving him her virginity. It was like he had won the lottery twice.

He followed her, truly appreciating her warmth and kindness. She was everything and he would be hard pressed to find a girl as truly amazing and incredible as Rory Gilmore was.

As they stepped into her room and Rory started to unbutton his shirt, Dean had to catch his breath to realize that this was actually happening. This was truly happening.

…

…

"So," Lane said with a shocked expression on her face as she and Rory stood by the bus stop. "What happened?" Rory shifted nervously as she put a hand to her cheek. She had been scared about her mother finding out but the truth was that she truly loved Dean and she thought that they had a future. He was only in Chicago, she would find him again. "You actually did it?"

"A lot of girls do it," Rory said uneasily as she rubbed her neck thinking of how her mother and grandmother would react to that. Then there was her grandfather. Her grandfather didn't ever have to discuss this wit her especially since he would most likely only wind up hurting Dean.

"No," Lane shook her head, "That is absolutely, one-hundred percent not true. A lot of girls actually sit at home wishing that they could do that. I don't even wish about it, I mean I'd be perfectly happy with hand holding and maybe not if the guys palm was too sweaty. Do guys get sweaty there?" she asked and Rory choked.

"Lane, I…I don't know but don't you think that we shouldn't be talking so loudly?" she asked and Lane nodded,

"That's right, I'm sure that something is sending Mrs. Kim in our direction right now. Indecent conversation," she said before looking away. "Did you like it?" she asked and Rory turned bright red, she nodded.

"Dean has a really nice body," she tried to explain and Lane hummed, "I mean it's really nice, it's something that would be hard to not enjoy." Rory turned to Lane who was staring at her as if she was a fountain of wisdom. This was just an impulsive move that cemented her and Dean's relationship and Rory wished that there hadn't been such a rush.

"I can't believe it," Lane squealed, "You had sex with a millionaire. Someone should write a book about your or a short story anyway."

Rory put a finger to her lips before nodding and walked off with Lane feeling none the wiser about the situation that she was now putting her body through. All she really cared about was Dean and trying to find time to be with one another again. She took a deep breath in as she saw Lorelei and tried to steady herself. It was best to get it all out in the open…well hopefully they could do it at home.

"Ah, you might want to tell your Mom now if you haven't. I can't believe that you haven't told her already," Lane commented and Rory nodded, taking a few steps forwards. As much as this hurt, she knew she had to face the music eventually. She hadn't wanted her mother to be disappointed in her so soon.

As Lane left to give the two of them some private time, Lorelei looked in the direction of the young black haired girl. "Where's Lane going?" she asked as she saw her running away. "Mrs. Kim really keeps that poor girl on a short leash."

"Mom," Rory said as she turned paler and Lorelei turned to her concerned, "I might have done something really bad but do really bad things feel really good?" she asked and Lorelei stared at her.

"Yes, in fact a lot of the things that feel really good are the worst," she said and Rory tried not to sob. Lorelei paused and wrapped Rory up in her arms. Something had gone wrong and she should have been looking out for her daughter. "Oh honey," she said wanting to help the young girl and keep her from crying. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"Well, it felt right…and I didn't tell you about it, I promised that I'd tell you about it but he was leaving and I…"

"and you wanted him to stay," Lorelei continued for her, "I assume this is Dean we're talking about," she saw Rory's look of confusion. "I mean, it's not like you're upset that Justin Timberlake was leaving N-Sync because you know he's going his own way."

Rory bowed her head. "I had sex with him," she said and Lorelei blinked hard and took a step back.

"I thought…" she said and Rory looked away, biting her bottom lip and feeling the walls close in on her. Her mother was going to abandon her and then Rory would have to run away and stay at an inn and work her way up. That's what happened in her family. She would get trapped just from having sex. "Wow. Were you okay? Do you feel okay? You look okay…"

"I feel loved and safe and protected," Rory told her and Lorelei nodded very slowly. She wasn't sure if Rory really knew what she felt if anything.

"Well…then…good," Lorelei tried to smile. "You used protection, right?" she asked and Rory nodded. "It wasn't like expired or something."

"They expire?" Rory asked confused and Lorelei paused, she thought that the Chilton student had been smarter than this. "He said it was his dads…I mean, I'm sure that he checked the date. Dean would have checked the date.

Lorelei sighed before shaking her head. "Let's go home discuss what you need to do but I think we should make a doctors appointment and get you birth control," she whispered and Rory took a deep breath in, swallowed, and nodded nervously. "We'll get some ice cream or some candy and we'll work this all out. There is, after all, a solution to everything.

Rory hoped that nothing would come of this. It was just supposed to be something shared with Dean. Nobody else had needed to know but he wasn't getting the treatment from her Mom that Lane would be getting had this happened to her. At least Lorelei was protective of her.

There was no way that this would lead to a pregnancy. There was just no way.

Things like that didn't happen in places like Stars Hollow.
