Chapter 4: Already Gone


They say the first time won't ever last
But that didn't stop me. the first time he laughed


Rory's Point of View

I walked out of the diner with the need to breath. I felt nauseous and weak. I see Dean walking towards me. My eyes become dizzy, am I dreaming? He shouldn't be back from his trip yet. I hear him say "Hey." As he reaches over me to kiss me the whole place turned dark.

Luke's Point of View

I notice Rory leave the diner after I had one of the pleasant calls my younger sister always seems to provide. Then I notice Dean looking all chirpy and happy. What was with that kid. No one could be that happy all the damn time. Oh god, Rory is on the floor. I run out the diner and say "What happened?"

Dean responds with a simple "I don't know. She just fainted" he was kneeling down watching her.

"Don't touch her. Don't you think you've done enough" He stands up and looks at me lost. Oh…I guess he doesn't know yet. "I'm going to take her upstairs and call Lorelai."

"Shouldn't we take her to the hospital?" he asks.

"She's still breathing. She just…" how could I explain to the kid that dizziness was normal in a pregnant woman, I saw it a lot with Liz. I sigh "Let's just take her upstairs. She needs rest."

"Okay." He holds open the door as I carry Rory in. The customers seem to have noticed, nothing gets passed Stars Hollow. Lorelai will most likely have to get into the debate about Rory's well being on the next ridicoulos town meeting.


And we cried with each other
We split the blame for the parts that we couldn't change


Rory's Point of View

I walk up and I noticed Dean sitting on the edge of the bed, but I'm not in my bed. Oh god I'm in Jess's bed…with Dean. I'd never thought I would be here with Dean. I try to get up and he says "Shh..you should stay laying down." Why was he so calm? Shouldn't he be freaking out at the fact that I fainted on the street. He then asks "Are you okay Rory? Have you been eating well? Luke didn't tell me much, he just said not to worry and that you would wake up." There were times when I enjoyed Dean looking like a lost puppy trying to find the right words to say, to not hurt my feelings. He was good like that. His stare seems to get deeper like he is trying to see what I'm thinking about. "I didn't faint because I'm not eating well…" I begin to say, I'm trying to find the words. Guess it helps he is already sitting down "Dean…I'm…We're" I sigh, it wasn't this hard to spill my guts out to Jess and then I finally say it "Pregnant." His eyes widen and he places his hands over his face, resting his elbows on his knees and I hear in a muffle "Oh my god." We sit there in silence. I don't know what else to say. I feel like I should console him, but he should be doing that to me. He finally looks at me and says "How long have you known?"

"Not too long just as of last night. I was going to tell you."

"Well glad to know you were eventually going to let me know"

I hated when he would get mad. This wasn't a time to be mad at me. He shook his head and said "I'm sorry Rory" Sorry for what? For ending up pregnant or his comment, "It'll be okay, I love you and I'll find a better job. We'll be okay." He says the last sentence staring at my nonexistent belly. I'm finally able to look away from Dean and notice the clock on the night stand "Oh my god it's the afternoon…I didn't go to school, did you go to school?" I grab the clock "Is it set wrong?"

Dean chuckles, I don't know what he found so funny about my freak outs. "I went to school and your mom called Chilton. It's okay" He smiles at me like he was trying to make everything better. I hear the door open, it's my mom "Well seems like my sleeping beauty has awoken or would you rather be snow white. Neither less both fell asleep and got woken up by true loves first kiss."

I smile at my mom and she looks at Dean. "We'll see you later Dean." He stood up and smiled politely. Probably shocked at the fact that my mother hadn't murdered him, we watch him walk out of the apartment mouthing bye to me. My mom said

"I hope you finally told him or he at least was able to figure it out"

"He knows"

"Good 'cause at least now he won't question when he finds his whole head shaven" she gives me a devious smile. "I'm surprised you're not going to kill him"

"And leave my grandchild fatherless and a grandmother in jail. Of course not, but turtore would only affect Dean." She plomps down at the empty edge Dean left. I felt better than this morning, guess sleep helped. We kind of sat there in silence, which isn't common for us. I just didn't know what to say, seemed since I told her I was pregnant awkwardness had been surrounding the room. I finally say an idea that had be racing in my brain since I found out "Do you think grandma would let us re-schedule this weeks Friday night dinner?"

My mom gives me stare "Did you have plans?"

"No…"

My mom gives me a warm smile "You don't have to tell them this Friday, you can wait"

"But I should"

"We should tell Grandma many things, but we don't have to"

"Should I take Dean to help me tell her?"

"I think a police officer would be much more helpful during domestic abuse or is it family violence?"

Sometimes my moms humor at every situation didn't help but I couldn't help but want to chuckle.


My Mama mapped out the road that she knows
Which hands you shake and which hands you hold


Friday Night came around too quickly. I look over at my mom and then at Dean. My mom says "Are you ready to go in?" I take a deep breath as I ring the doorbell to my grandparents house. I can already feel their gaze from here. The maid opens the door and looks at Dean "Oh no extra person, extra seat, extra place setting, extra food" In a flash she seemed to have left the room. My mom says "Don't worry we will hang our own coats. Well Dean seems like you are already making an impression"

"I didn't…um.." We take of our coats and place them on the coat hanger next to the door. I hear my grand mother "You cant put your coats there."

"Well hello to you too mother"

"That's not the place to hang coats"

"You mean this is not a coat hanger." Oh great grandma and mom are already fighting and this is just about our coats. Its not even that hot I can wear my coat to eat.

"Give me your coats, I cannot believe the maid didn't do this."

"Seemed like she had bigger worries like an extra guest" My grandma finally notices Dean, which is surprising because his height really makes him stand out. "Oh well hello Dawn." My grandma says as she leaves the room and I hear Dean mumble "Its Dean." My mother chuckles "Isn't Dawn a girls name?" We head towards the living room and as me and Dean sit on the couch my mother heads towards the drinks table. "Dean would you like a shot before the big news. Rory no drinking for you, what am I saying Dean my father is probably going to shoot you so you will get a shot or be shot" She says while making herself a drink. I realize I haven't said anything as we came in, Dean looks worried. Like all the color has been washed off his face. My grandpa walks in "Lorelai that is not things you say during dinner time"

"Well technically its drinks time" She says taking a sip from her martini and finding a seat next to me.

"And why would I shoot the boy, get my own hands dirty. Theres people for that now" He says in a chuckle. I almost wanted to cry knowing that my grandpa didn't even know why my mom said he would shoot Dean. I wasn't ready to be here and face him. What was I doing? My grandmother comes back from hanging the coats "Well another seat has been place thankfully she had enough brains to put that together" I don't care about coats or place settings. I cant breath, I cant even hear my heart murmur. I'm going to die. This is going to kill me. I finally say something which came out more like yelling "Dean got me pregnant!" I finally let out a sigh, finally letting oxygen reach my brain and air in my lungs. Both my grandparents stay there sitting in silence. I feel my mother gaze on me confused at my outburst. We had a plan. I had rehearsed it with her, but I just couldn't. I couldn't sit here and pretend everything is okay. Nothing is okay. I notice my grandfather stand up and leave the room. I feel that sinking feeling that I got when Jess walked away. He hates me. Everyone is going to hate me. My grandmother finally says "How could you let this happen Lorelai?"

"Actually mother it happened the night we went to the stupid spa"

"Oh no you're blaming me?"

"No but it wasn't my fault. There is no one to blame mother."

"No there is always someone to blame, like you" She point at Dean "You should've known, both of you should've known better" She won't even look at me. "The people at Chilton are going to have field day. First Lorelai dated a teacher and now Rory is pregnant. Those Gilmores. He will be the laughing stoke at the club. She has to leave Chilton"

"I don't want to leave school" I finally say. My grandmother finally adjusted her eye sight to me, she looks sad. I had never seen her this sad.

"Well that isn't your choice young lady"

"Mom you cant do this"

"I can and I will. Tuition has been paid for the end of the semester. She can figure it out for her senior year."

"We had a deal. This doesn't change anything"

"If you are referring to Friday night dinners your no longer obligated, you are debt free Lorelai. Go get tattoos or piercings or whatever else you use to do on a Friday night. See you in Easter. Now if you don't mind I am tired and going to bed." She walks away, as she walks the stairs my mom asks "Where the hell are our coats mother?" but grandma ignored her request. I didn't think they would take away Chilton. In all my scenereos of what they would say, this wasn't even close. I imagined them saying that Dean needed to marry me or start working with grandpa. But not, not this.


And sparks fly like flame to a paper
Fire in his touch burning me up, but still I held on


Lorelai's Point of View

We finally dropped off Dean at his house, having to pleasant with him was difficult. I had so many things I wanted to yell. I look over at my daughter, she looks so defeated. The way only a Gilmore could make you feel. She had been gilmored. There is nothing I can tell Rory to make her feel better. "Maybe it'll be easier with the pregnancy at Stars Hollow high"

"No I don't' want to be at Stars Hollow High."

"You can graduate early"

"Harvard will never accept me now. Not being a Chilton drop out"

"You wouldn't be a Chilton drop out Rory. Even you cant go to Harvard now."

"I'm pregnant, I don't have the plague. I could still go."

"And who would take care of the baby while you're doing the college life. Dean? Cause I hope your not expecting me to take on your responsibility"

We get to the house and I park the car. She didn't say anything and I felt like I was being an ass all over again. She finally says "Trust me I wouldn't leave it on you, you cant even take responsibility for your own life" I watch her walk out of the car. I step out and say "Rory" As she slams the front door heading inside. I hear Luke's truck drive up to the house. He steps out, he has flowers in his hands. Oh my god Luke. I totally forgot about dinner. My outfit was not flattering for a date at all. He gives me the flowers and I smell them as he says "You look good" I half smile hoping the dark is not showing my watery eyes. I wasn't in the mood for a date "Luke can we…" I was about to say re-schedule when I feel his lips on mine. He separates "I'm sorry" I shook my head and lean in giving him another kiss. "Can we skip the dinner and go for dessert?" I finally say. I was hoping he didn't think I was being too forward, but at this moment I needed much more of a dessert than dinner right now.


Hang out, make lots of noise
And lay out late with a boy


He fell asleep and all I can think is why had we taken so long to get here? He made things so easy. He didn't question me. He was ready to jump. Was it a bad thing that it was barely our second date? Well techinally we had been out together many times before this. I laid there looking over Luke's naked body. Taking in his very strong physique, these were the moment I wished I would've taken up smoking. Something to do after the deed had been done. Something to hold onto, what am I saying he had plenty to hold onto. I begin to snuggle up next to him.

NEXT CHAPTER:


'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello."
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed


I was organizing the corn cans when I feel someone bump into me. It was the same blonde that had been coming into the store almost everyday now. Not even buying anything essential. Somehow our gaze always fell onto each other. I hear her say "I'm sorry."

"Its okay" I take out my hand "I'm Dean."

She smiles shyly and says "I'm Lindsey"
