A/N: Thank you for the reviews :). I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Trip to Stars Hollow

The next morning, Rory walked as quietly as she could to the kitchen, trying not to wake up her mother who was still sleeping on the couch. She found Jess sitting on a chair, drinking coffee and reading. She sat down on the chair next to him and he looked up, putting his book on the table.

"Morning." She smiled and he leaned over, kissing her softly.

"Morning. Sleep well?"

"Yeah." Rory nodded, looking at the cup of coffee. Jess pushed the mug closer to her, but she just shook her head. "I'm not in the mood for coffee."

"You're a very bad liar." He smirked, kissing her cheek. "It's decaf."

Taking the cup, she gulped down almost half of it, then put it back down on the table and saw Jess looking at her, trying not to laugh. "Since when do we have decaf in this house?"

"This morning."

"You went out and bought it?" She asked, trying to figure it out.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because you didn't drink the regular coffee last night. Figured you might need something to drink until you talk to the doctor about this."

She leaned over and kissed him, running her hand through his hair. "You're absolutely perfect, you know that?"

"I try."

"Why were you drinking decaf?"

"What are my chances of getting away with real coffee while you drink decaf?"

"Good point." She drank some more coffee, putting her hand on top of his on the table. "This tastes nothing like coffee."

"I can make a pot of real coffee if you want."

"No, thanks." She smiled, holding the mug up.

"Fine, but when you discover that it's ok to drink regular I am not responsible for this and will refuse to listen to you picking on me for making you drink decaf."

"I would never do such a thing." Rory tried to protest but he smirked, finishing the cup of coffee.

"Yes, you would."

"Ok, maybe."She conceded smiling.

He lifted the empty mug. "More?"

"Yes, please."

Jess stood up and filled the mug, picking up another one and filling that one as well. Sitting back down at the table, he gave her one of the mugs, then pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Still happy about this pregnancy thing?"

"Yeah." She nodded, looking at him. "You?"

"Yep."

Rory stood up and cupped his face in her hands, looking at him. "Sure?"

"Very sure." He pulled her down so that she was sitting in his lap and wrapped his arms tightly around her, looking into her eyes. "Slightly terrified, but happy."

"So I'm not the only one who's scared?"

Jess chuckled, running his fingers under her shirt. "Definitely not."

"Good to know." She leaned in and kissed him, her fingers playing with the hairs on the back of his neck. "But…we'll be ok, right?"

"Why wouldn't we be?"

"I don't know…I guess I'm just scared and my mind is running a thousand miles a minute, making about a billion different scenarios of things that could go wrong."

"Nothing will go wrong, Ror." He hugged her closer to him, trying to make her fears go away. "Before you know it, you'll be sending me to the store at 3 in the morning because we ran out of diapers or whatever."

She smiled softly, kissing his forehead.

"And hey, if it will make you feel better, I can be all overprotective and not let you do anything so that you and Lorelai have something to mock."

"That would be nice." She laughed then kissed him again. They were interrupted by Lorelai walking in the room.

"I suppose it's not like you could do much damage at this point but really, I did not need to see that!" She snickered and Rory shot up, still standing next to Jess.

"Fully clothed, mom!" She pointed out, trying not to laugh. "Want some coffee?"

"It doesn't smell like coffee. Are you drinking decaf?" Lorelai asked, looking suspiciously at the two mugs on the table.

"Yes. You want some?"

"I'd rather drink rat poison."

Jess stood up and put his arm around Rory's waist, then looked at Lorelai. "I'll make you some real coffee. You, sit down." He turned around and winked at Rory, making her laugh and shake her head before sitting down.

"And he claimed he wasn't overprotective." Lorelai laughed again and Rory picked up her mug, sipping from it. "So, what are your plans for today?"

"Come with you to Stars Hollow and tell Luke and Lane. I knew she was pregnant before Zach did, I have to tell her." She twisted around and looked at Jess. "Is that ok with you?"

"Whatever you want, Ror."

"Anyone else you want to tell?"

"Sookie, I think."

"How about Chris?" Lorelai asked and Jess put her cup on the table, sitting down on his chair and looking at Rory, waiting for her to answer.

"I…don't know. I'll think about it." She squeezed Jess' hand under the table, then quickly stood up, picking up his mug, emptying it in the sink and filling it with regular coffee. "You shouldn't have to suffer because I'm insane."

"I already do." He smirked and she made a face.

"Funny. I think book shopping will have to wait until tomorrow. There's no way to buy pregnancy books in Stars Hollow without the entire town knowing in less than a minute." Rory looked at Jess and he nodded.

"Sure."

"Or, you know, you can have mine. It's not like I plan on getting pregnant again." Lorelai offered, smiling at the young couple.

"Thanks, mom."

"Hey, that's my grandkid you have in there. I get to spoil him or her as much as I can. And I get to start now!"

"There will be no spoiling. And no loud toys. And keep in mind that you have Will and whatever you buy for our kid, I can just find something way louder and more obnoxious for him!"

"Nu-uh. Being the grandmother gives me complete spoiling rights. And you wouldn't want to stifle little Bono's potential music career by hiding the drum kit I intend to buy as soon as I get a chance."

"That offer to help me kill her still good?" Rory grinned, looking at Jess and he nodded.

"Just say the words."

"You are both awful and mean and I hope you never expect me to babysit." Lorelai announced dramatically, drinking from her cup.

"In that case, we can stop babysitting for you. Eye for an eye, mom."

"Damn. Can we be friends again?" She smiled at her daughter.

"Until the first loud toy comes, we're friends."

"Deal."

"Rory, you hungry? We can go for breakfast before we leave." Jess asked, rubbing her knee gently under the table.

"Breakfast sounds great." She smiled back at him, then looked at her mother. "There's a great place nearby. Their pancakes are almost as good as Luke's."

"Blasphemy!"

"Hey, I only said that they're almost as good. Not better." Rory looked back at Jess. "I'm going to miss that place when we move."

"Wait, you're moving?" Lorelai asked.

"Not right now, but as soon as possible. There really isn't enough room in this apartment for both of us and a baby."

"Do you have to move this soon? It's not like you don't have time."

"Don't argue with her." Jess sighed. "This is a compromise."

"I want time to get settled in before the baby is born! What's so wrong about that? And I really don't want to move when I'm 7 months pregnant. No way! We're moving as soon as we can find a new place."

Jess sighed again, looking at Lorelai. "This is why we're moving. And not talking about that anymore."

"Sorry." She finished her coffee and smiled, looking at Rory. "Anyway, when you find a place, don't forget to call your helpful movers."

"We'll talk about it."

An hour later, after they all had breakfast, they got in their cars and headed for Stars Hollow. Once they were alone again in the car, Jess took his eyes away from the road for a second, looking at Rory.

"Why don't you want to tell your dad about this?"

"I'm just…it's petty."

"Ror, what is it?"

"He was never there for me." She finally admitted, trying not to get angry. "He missed almost everything that mattered in my life. My entire childhood, he was barely there. He'd always promise he would come and then not show up, time after time. Why should he get to share this one when he chose to miss that much?"A couple of tears rolled down her cheeks and she bit her lip, trying to hold them back.

He pulled the car to the side of the road, turning off the engine and looked at her, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?" She asked, smiling softly.

"Bringing this up?" He tried to answer, unbuckling his seatbelt and leaning over to her. "He doesn't have to know." Jess kissed her, his fingers playing slowly in her hair.

"No, he should know. I should tell him. He's been good in the past few years."

"You don't have to tell him right away. We can wait for a while longer."

"I'm really not sure what I want to do about this." She kissed him again. "I'll think about it."

"Ok. Just don't think it so much you forget to be excited about this."

"Trust me, that's the one thing that's not going to happen." She smiled, cupping his face in her hand and placing a soft kiss on his lips. "This is really good, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is." He agreed. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Jess kissed her one more time before going back to his seat and putting his seatbelt back on. "We should go before Lorelai starts wondering if we got abducted by aliens."

"Ok." She ran her fingers through his hair again while he started the engine and got back on the road. Some time later, she looked at him. "Mind if I go to sleep?"

"Nope."

"I have a feeling I'm going to be sleeping a lot until I get used to this. And the lack of caffeine is certainly not helping."

"You can have coffee."

"I just want to talk to the doctor before. I don't want to do anything that will hurt the baby."

"When are you calling your doctor?"

"First thing tomorrow."

"Can I…can I come with you when you go see him?"

"Her. And of course you can."

"And you won't mind?"

She smiled, running her hand through his hair slowly. "I want you there, Jess. I want to share every second of this with you. It's your kid as well."

"Unless you forgot to tell me about your sordid affair with the postman." He smirked, quickly looking at her.

"Actually, I've been meaning to tell you about that. I've been seeing him for a few months now. There's just something about the way he just throws our letters in the neighbor's mailbox that makes me swoon."

"I can't compete with that." He chuckled, making her laugh as well.

"You stand a pretty good chance." She smiled again, then looked back to the road, kicking off her shoes. "Wake me up when we get there."

"Instead of letting you sleep in the car for the rest of the day? I'll try to remember."

"You do that." She smiled one last time before resting her head against the window and closing her eyes.

A few hours later, Jess stopped the car behind Lorelai's and looked at Rory, who was slowly opening her eyes.

"Are we there?"

"Just got here."

"Ok." She stretched her arms, blinking rapidly a few times before opening the car door and walking out. Jess followed her and they both walked to Lorelai, who was standing by her car.

"You're finally here!"

"We were 100 feet behind you the entire way."

"Eh, well, I'm feeling dramatic. Now let's go inside. Luke's been pacing in front of the window since I got here."

"Ok, let's go." Rory replied, taking Jess' hand and they all walked to the front door.

"Luke!" Lorelai called as soon as they were inside and the man appeared from the living room, holding a young boy in his arms.

"Your son was trying to eat the couch again." He smiled and Lorelai extended her arms, taking the little boy away from him.

"Oh, you missed mommy, didn't you, Will? And no, that is not a sign that I have corrupted him with my evil eating ways. It's normal."

"Eating the couch?"

"Hey, better than trying to eat Paul Anka again." She smiled, kissing the boy's cheek. Finally noticing Rory and Jess, who were standing in the doorway, watching them, Luke smiled at them.

"So?"

"Jump right to the point, will you?" Lorelai laughed.

"Says the woman who drove to Philadelphia in the middle of the night." Rory replied, squeezing Jess' hand, trying to get the news out.

"We're not arguing this one again. I'm your mother, I should know of any life changing things as soon as they happen. Even if that means driving to your house in the middle of the night."

"Is there a life changing thing happening?" Luke asked again, looking at Rory. She looked at Jess quickly and then back at Luke, smiling as she bit her lip.

"Yeah, there is. I'm pregnant."

"Oh, wow…" He took the steps separating him from Rory and hugged her quickly. "Congratulations."

"Thanks, Luke."

Letting go of her, Luke gave Jess a quick hug as well. "Congratulations, Jess."

"Thanks." He replied as well, then wrapped his arm around Rory's waist.

"This is…wow. This is really wow."

"My husband, ladies and gentlemen." Lorelai quipped. "Captain Articulate!"

"My soon to be ex-wife." He laughed, kissing her cheek. "Come on in, let's sit down. Can I get you anything? Coffee, food, whatever?" He offered but Rory shook her head.

"No, we're fine." She stepped closer to her mother, smiling and taking her baby brother's hand in hers. "Heya, Will. You're going to be an uncle!"

The toddler gurgled, grinning at the attention and she started making faces, while Lorelai looked at them, smiling happily as well. Stepping closer to Jess and watching the scene, Luke leaned towards his nephew.

"How are you? Excited?"

Looking at his girlfriend who was sticking out her tongue, making the baby laugh, he nodded. "Yeah. Still hasn't kicked in."

"Give it a few days. If you need anything, you'll give me a call right? Even if it's someone to talk to?"

"Thanks." Jess nodded again and they continued to look at the two women and the toddler, when they heard the phone ring and then Caesar's panicked voice on the answering machine. "Luke! Where are you? There are customers and I can't find the thing and there was the other thing and Kirk is here and Luke!"

"Apparently the diner needs me. He's been calling all morning. But we should celebrate later."

"Fine, go, be a provider." Lorelai smiled, kissing him quickly. "We'll pull out the champagne…" She looked at Rory. "…and apple juice later."

"Mom, I'm going to go tell Lane then come back and we can watch a movie or something."

"You too? Leaving me here?"

"I'll be back fast. And you have Will, you're not alone."

"Hear that, baby? They're abandoning us." She cooed, looking at her son. "Jess, what are your plans?"

"Need any help at the diner?" He asked Luke and the man nodded.

"The waitress is out, I could use someone."

"I'm going with him."

"Scared of being here alone, with me?" Lorelai laughed.

"Just trying to be helpful." He smirked. "And yes, I have a feeling one of us would die in an hour."

"Fair enough. In that case, we're coming with you. I don't want to be sit here, waiting for Rory to come back."

"Ok." Luke nodded and grabbed the diaper bag from the living room, and they all headed towards the diner.
