Facing the Grandparents

Rory thought telling her Mother about her pregnancy was bad enough; she hadn't counted on the absolute terror she felt at the upcoming prospect. After much hesitating and reassurance from her Mother, it was time to tell her Grandparents. They were already approaching the front door, it had been agreed that Dean shouldn't come with them. Especially since last time he was here Richard had lost his temper and a large argument had ensued. They stopped on the doorstep; Lorelai looked over at her daughter. Rory was extremely pale and perspiring, clearly more nervous than she had ever been before.

"You ready for this," Lorelai asked, "If you're not we can..."

"No, no, I want to do this." Rory replied quickly.

Lorelai nodded and knocked on the door and, after waiting for a few minutes the maid answered the door. They stepped in and saw Richard and Emily both sitting in the living room. They both looked up surprised as Lorelai and Rory came in.

"Well, Lorelai, Rory, what a surprise," Richard greeted, Emily agreed, adding, "Yes, it's not Friday, we weren't expecting to see you until then."

There was uncomfortable silence for a while until Rory spoke.

"I um...I've got something to tell you, something important." She said, her voice shaking, they sat up, noticing her strange behaviour.

"What's wrong dear?" Emily asked, concerned.

Rory looked to her Mother for support, Lorelai nodded and finally Rory took a deep breath and revealed the truth.

"I...I'm pregnant."

Their faces contorted with rage and Richard jumped up.

"What, you're pregnant," He bellowed, "I don't believe this..."

"Grandpa, please..."

"I warned you about this, that boy's gotten you pregnant and ruined your future!"

Rory tried to tell them the truth but Richard wasn't stopping. "We did everything to ensure you had the best possible future and you let that boy take it away from you...!"

Emily also glared, "I can't believe this, it's Lorelai all over again."

"Will you just listen to her!" Lorelai suddenly yelled, "This isn't her fault!"

Rory was in tears but desperately burst out her story, telling them about Tristan and the rape.

"This is the truth, I-I...This was out of my control, at least Dean is going to support me and help me raise this child, unlike Tristan. It isn't even his child and he's going to stay with me!"

Richard shook his head and stormed off into his office. Emily sighed and, after a long pause she stood up and walked over to her husband's office and knocked on the door, she got no reply.

"Richard, open this door," She said sharply, "Open this door now."

There was still no reply, other than a grunt of frustration. She sighed and turned back, she sat down again and watched as Lorelai hugged and soothed Rory as she cried.

Emily sighed again and then spoke.

"I'm sorry about all this." She said, "Let Richard say what he wants, I'm here to help, okay."

They both looked up, shocked.

"Mom, are you feeling alright?" Lorelai asked, incredulous. Emily smiled, "Of course, I've heard Rory's story, this isn't her fault. I can assure you, I'm here to help."

Rory smiled and hurried over and hugged Emily.

"Thanks Grandma." She gasped out through her tears, Emily returned the hug.

Just then however Richard came out of his office. The three women turned to him, Rory and Lorelai were apprehensive while Emily was angry. However Richard's expression was unusual.

"Sorry about all that," He said quietly, "I'm sorry this all got out of hand, I over-reacted and I'm sorry."

Rory breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, I was just on the phone. I was calling the nearest hospital to your house." He explained, "Whenever you go, ask for Dr. Walter Carver, tell them you're my Granddaughter, they'll let you through and don't worry about expenses, I've already sorted all that out."

Rory stared, surprised, "Grandpa I...Thank you."

They hugged and Lorelai smiled happily.

A few hours later Lorelai and Rory were in Lorelai's car, driving home, they had agreed to stay for dinner that day, meaning that they wouldn't be around that Friday. They were both relieved that Emily and Richard, despite their initial anger, had agreed to support Rory throughout her pregnancy.

"Well, that rather well," Lorelai stated, Rory nodded, "I'm just glad they're gonna support me, now I just...I still have problems at school."

"Do you want me to talk to Headmaster Charleston again?" Lorelai asked.

Rory shook her head, "No, not yet anyway, we've got no proof and everyone thinks I'm lying. But Paris said she'd find something that would prove I'm telling the truth. I guess I'll just have to wait until then."

Lorelai nodded in agreement, she was still amazed at the fact that Paris Geller of all people had decided to help Rory. Finally they arrived home, Dean was waiting for them, he smiled as they got out of the car. Rory walked over and they kissed.

"Hey, how'd it go?" He asked.

Rory smiled and told him about what happened, he looked relieved when he discovered that Emily and Richard had offered their support and asked Rory how she planned to deal with the school incident. Rory explained it too him.

"Okay, just hope everything goes well," He said, "It's not good that they're giving you a hard time, especially when they keep getting you stressed, which isn't good for the baby."

Rory nodded and rested her head on his shoulder as they sat on the sofa. Lorelai smiled, they just had to deal with the incident at school and hopefully everything would be alright.
