All the Drama is in Connecticut-Chapter 7

Rory could barely drive. She was so deep in thought; she almost missed the turn to the hospital. As she got out of the car, she checked her watch. 12:50 pm. She would have enough time to see Finn, and make it to Logan's trial, she decided.

Rory finally made it to Finn's room. Of course, she had to lie and say she was a relative-otherwise they wouldn't let her in.

When she entered Finn's hospital room, she gasped. He was in pretty bad shape; bruises covered his usually handsome face, and it looked like he had gotten stitches.

He weakly opened his eyes, and noticeably brightened once he saw Rory.

"Rory?" he called out weakly.

"Yeah, it's me." She said. She moved toward his bed, and lightly touched his face.

"I can't believe Logan did this to you." She said in disbelief.

"I was rubbing me and you in his face; frankly, I think I deserved it. That is what happens when I'm bloody drunk-I turn into a spewing idiot."

"Oh, Finn you aren't an idiot. Logan shouldn't have done this. I didn't punch Honor's bridesmaids when I found out they slept with him." Rory said.

Finn laughed, as hard as he could, under the circumstance.

"Rory, I know that what we did was supposed to just be a one time thing, but I don't think I can do that. Somewhere in all of this, I got feelings for you. I think…I love you." Finn said passionately.

"Um…I'm flattered. Really. But, I'm so confused now, Finn." Rory took a deep breath, and whispered, "I'm pregnant."

Finn looked stunned. "WH-what? Is it mine?"

Rory shrugged. "I don't know. I slept with Logan once, after we slept together. I have no clue what to do."

She tried to keep her emotion back, but tears were forming in her eyes. She wanted a career. A successful future, god damnit! Not a baby, not now.

"Aw, Rory. Come here." Finn shuffled over in his hospital bed, as well as he could, and patted the spot. She lay down next to him. "Listen, I will be there for you, no matter what, okay?" Finn added, looking into her pools of blue eyes, filled with tears.

Rory nodded, sniffling.

They laid there for awhile, in complete silence. It wasn't uncomfortable for them at all; it was more like a time to digest. Digest the information Rory had sprung into Finn's life.

Finally, Rory got up when the nurse came in to check Finn's status.

"I better leave. I want to go to Logan's trial. Do you want me to come back after, and tell you how it went?" Rory questioned.

"Why not? As long as I get to see your face again, beautiful, I won't complain." Finn said cheekily.

Rory smiled; it seemed Finn was back to his normal self.

---------------------------------

Rory cursed in frustration as she moved along at snail's pace on the highway. Why the hell was there traffic at 1:30? Wasn't everyone at work?

She made it, finally at the courthouse, ten minutes late. Rory rushed into the building, and filled out the visitor's log. Then, she was told Logan's current stance. It seems that Mitchum was able to work out some type of bail for his son.

She quietly tried to make into courtroom with no disturbance, but Logan and his family looked back at her in disdain as she meekly sat on the bench.

The trial lasted an hour and a half-unusually long for this type of dispute. The trial was on recess as the jury was making their decision.

Quickly, Rory walked to the bathroom for the break since she didn't want Logan to confront her and make a big scene.

Unfortunately, Logan spotted where she was heading, and burst into the women's bathroom after her.

"How could you do this to me?" Logan snarled at her, grabbing her arm.

"How was what I did any different than what you did, Logan? I was upset, and angry that you cheated on me. What do you expect me to do? Just go back to you with open arms, and no bitterness?" Rory snapped back in frustration, as she pulled her arm from his grip.

"I didn't expect you to go fuck with Finn. When I begged you for forgiveness, you didn't even say anything. I just thought that kiss….That drunken kiss was all." Logan angrily replied.

"I'm not going to say I made a mistake. I don't regret that I slept with Finn. I just regret going back to you. I can't believe you beat Finn up so bad."

Logan laughed bitterly. "Oh is this all about Finn now? Is he the poor victim in all of this? He asked for it all by himself, Rory. I reacted like any normal guy, when he said he slept with you." Logan continued. "Do you know how much it hurts? I can't believe you of all people would do this." He said in disgust.

"Oh please. I was hurt too when I found out you slept with Honor's bridesmaids. At least, I didn't sleep with all your friends." She shot back.

Logan's face looked visibly hurt. "Ace…I still love you. I feel strong dislike for you as well. But all that time…we spent together. You changed my life. I don't want to throw it all away."

Rory wasn't prepared for this sudden turn in Logan. She was caught off-guard. He took her silence as a sign to move toward her.

"Logan ….I...I can't do this right now." She turned and fled until she was safe in her car.

Rory broke down crying. She had no fucking clue of what to do

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rory pulled it all together, and drove to her mom's house. She found comfort in the radio, as she flipped the channels; she found a great song for the mood she was in.

My finger tips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
and I know that I should let go,
but I can't.
And everytime we fight I know it's not right,
everytime that you're upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can't.

You said I must eat so many lemons
'cause I am so bitter.
I said
"I'd rather be with your friends mate 'cause they are much fitter."

Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive,
and I must admit that I was a bit scared,
but it gives me thrills to wind you up.

She arrived to her mother's house, and let herself in.

"Mom?" She called.

"In the kitchen."

Rory walked to the kitchen, and saw her mom eating pizza. Her mom pointed to the pizza box, and told her to help herself. After Rory got her food, she spilt all that happened in the short period of time. Her mom was unusually quiet, just giving occasional nods.

"Well, what should I do?" Rory asked after finishing her story.

"Honestly kid, I have no clue. What do you want? Do you want Logan, or Finn?"

Rory got the feeling she wasn't welcome as much as she used to. Her mom's tone was cold; Rory knew her mom was disappointed in her, but didn't think it would hurt their relationship so badly.

"Okay, then. I better get going." Rory silently slapped herself for going here in the first place.

Lorelai nodded curtly. "Bye."

Rory got in her car, and just drove. Somehow, she ended up at the hospital again. This time, when she asked for Finn, the staff told her he checked himself out, and went home.

Curiosity overtook Rory, and she decided to drive over to Finn's apartment to see if he was okay.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finn opened the door, and saw Rory standing there, looking tired and disheveled. He ushered her, and asked her if she was okay. She told him how alone she felt, and how her mom was barely speaking to her. She suddenly realized she didn't know what happened to Logan.

"What happened to Logan?" She asked Finn.

"My parents told me he got a week in jail, and 100 hours of community service.

Everyone was really shocked; they thought he would get off clean."

"Wow." Rory exclaimed. "Are you okay to be out of the hospital?"

"I'm fine, doll. Just a few bruises-that's all. Do you want to watch a movie? I was going to put on Citizen Kane."

She smiled. It was common knowledge that she loved that movie.

"Sure." She replied as together they went to sit on the couch.
