"Mom!" Rory flew into Lorelai's arms, as soon as she opened the Inn's door.
"Wow! I wasn't expecting an arrival like that, kid. Are you okay? How's the baby?" Lorelai asked in concern.
"Good, I think. I still have to go to the doctor but…" Rory trailed off, and took a deep breath.
"Mom, I know you are disappointed in me right now. But please, I need your support. I'm falling apart, and I know I'm too young for this. I don't know what to do."
Lorelai's eyes visibly softened as Rory was done with her impromptu speech. "Hon, I understand. I was in almost the same position as you. You should know I'm going to be by your side, no matter what. You are my daughter and I love you." She hugged Rory tighter. "Now let's sit, and chat for a bit."
Rory felt the weight lift off her shoulders as she left the Dragonfly Inn. Her mom was disappointed, but they had things all patched up for the most part. Now, all she had to do was figure out how the heck she was going to tell Logan she was pregnant. She knew she had to tell him, sooner rather than later. It was only time until she would show, or god forbid, someone would spill the truth.
Her mom brought up her grandparents, as well. It had been so long since they had a Friday night dinner together, and now Emily was calling constantly, asking about Rory and when the two were coming over again. She would have to tell them also. Just the thought of that made her so scared. She has seen her grandmother get mad before with news less pressing than this. She knew her grandparents would be furious.
Rory drove as she thought. The weekend was almost here, and she had to make a doctor's appointment. She shuddered, knowing doing this would make everything more final, and serious.
Her phone rang suddenly, and she saw it was her mother.
"Mom? Did you miss me already?" Rory teased.
"Of course, I did. I just had to hear your beautiful voice again. It reminds me of my favourite person – your mother." Lorelai teased back.
"On a serious note, kiddo, Emily wants to have dinner tomorrow with us. You might as well get the pregnancy news out of the way. That way, they can come around sooner, maybe before the baby is born."
Rory sighed. "Okay, yeah. I should just get it over with, before I start showing fully."
She finished the conversation with her mother, and pulled up to her apartment. She decided really quickly to call the doctor's office before she had her class.
"Hello, Hartford Pregnancy Center. How may I help you today?"
"Hi, um… I'd like to make an appointment. I'm pregnant, and I haven't been to a doctor yet."
"Okay. Please tell me your name, and how far a long you are."
"Rory Gilmore, and um, I believe it's been two months."
"Okay, I can get you in this Monday at 4:30. Is that sufficient?"
"Yes, yes. Thank you. Bye!" Rory hung up her phone, and bolted out of the car door, reminding herself to tell Finn when the appointment was.
"Ace! Ace!" a familiar voice called.
Rory inwardly groaned. She did not want to deal with Logan at the current moment, or ever really. She didn't know how she would tell him she was pregnant. She feared his response, especially in such public grounds, if she told him here.
"Hey! I got you a coffee, Rory. Think of it like a peace offering." Logan smiled, and handed her a large cup from their usual coffee cart.
Rory tried not a make a face at the disgusting smell wafting out of the cup, but she failed as Logan looked at her curiously.
"Am I bothering you? You usually attack me when I give you coffee!" Logan laughed at his own joke.
"No, Not at all! I just am trying to…" Rory quickly thought up a lie. "stay off coffee. I heard it is supposed to be really bad for you, stunt your growth, and give you discoloured teeth, that sort of thing." She finished lamely.
Logan quirked an eyebrow at her, and shook his head. Thankfully, he didn't say anything more about her aversion to coffee.
"Come on Ace, I'll walk you to class." Logan said, giving her his trademark grin.
It was like nothing had ever happened between the two of them.
Little did Logan know…
