So I have been having serious writers block. I didn't want to end the story like that, I guess I just wanted to because I had no ideas left. I was at a lost of words. I was told recently that my grammar is bad and if I have yet to discuss it, I'm sorry. I love making up stories but I even know grammar isn't my strong suit. I'm much better with numbers. Maybe I should start proof reading my stuff, I just get so lazy lol. Anyways I'm working on a new story but I will not end this one yet. Hope you guys are having happy holidays, if you celebrate if not hope your december is going great. Enjoy this chapter and some lines were taken from s7e1. Thanks again for AMY & WB for giving us these wonderful characters.
Chapter 10: Juicebox
Lorelai sat in the waiting room, she hears her phone ring. The screen flashes Rory, she flips open the Motorola "Ugh you finally call back"
"Sorry with me almost leaving Jess does not leave me a moment alone. He wants to take advantage of the time I have here." she looks over at Jess who is cooking in his boxers. He flashes her a smirk, knowing exactly what Jess has been taking advantage of.
Lorelai then says "Don't pretend like you hate it"
Rory lets out a small laugh "So what was the 911 text about? Is Anna doing bad?" Rory felt sort of guilty that she hadn't really been keeping up with Anna's surgery. She knew her mom needed her. It wasn't easy for her mom to fake that she liked someone. She knew Lorelai would never admit it but she got that from grandma. Always saying whats on your mind.
"No this isn't about Anna, she is recovering fine from the surgery. I'm not even on her floor." Lorelai looks over the women holding their belly reading Parent magazine. Looking so calm and serene. While she felt like they had electrocuted her body and couldn't stop shaking of anxiety.
"I'm guessing not being on her floor is part of the 911?" Rory asks trying not too sound confused" she hears a baby let out a small cry in the background "Mom are you on the maternity ward?" Now she sounds concerned for her mother. She can hear the small panic in Lorelai's voice.
"I've missed my period and I know I'm older but im too young for menopause. And the healthy eating has gotten worst not only apples but my body is craving broccoli and melons. When have you ever seen me eat stuff like that? I know I have a Luke baby in my tummy, only another Luke would be craving such a healthy appetite…kid I'm currently sitting watching very pregnant women being wheeled away to their hours of painful labor. All I can think is, I can't believe ill be going through that again. I just want the doctors to bring the results." She lets out a sigh finishing her rant. This ward brought back so many memories of Rory. Was she ready to go through it again? Was her older body just craving healthier things or maybe Luke was rubbing off on her? She shakes her head trying to listen to Rory and her reasoning.
"Mom itll be okay, your married now and I bet Luke will be thrilled" Rory said attempting to make her mother feel better on the thought of motherhood again. Silently she was kind of thrilled at having a sibling, she never really got the chance with Gigi.
"Not right now, not with the Anna and April and the whole thing. This would be too much for Luke"
The nurse walks up to Lorelai "Miss Gilmore?"
Lorelai looks up at the Nurse "Yes?"
"Here are your results" She hands Lorelai the paper work, closing her eyes mentally preparing herself for the results she hears Rory "Mom are you still there?"
"Shh" Lorelai and Rory sit there in silence over the phone. She opens her eyes and sees Pregnant. What to do? Avoid alcohol and cigarettes. Any drug is dangerous. Drink milk…"I'm pregnant" Lorelai says to Rory in a small whisper trying not to let the world know. Trying not to make a big deal about it but mostly trying to convince herself that Luke would be as happy as she felt right now. She couldn't hide her smile. This time it would be right. This time she wouldn't be alone in the delivery room. This time she had Luke. She hears Rory squeal with excitement "Oh my god. Mom! You're Pregnant!" Rory awaits for a response from Lorelai but she is frozen staring at the paper in front of her trying to take in the fact that she is pregnant once again. She hears Rory squealing and then hears "Mom?" in a worried tone. Lorelai finally lets out another small whisper "I'm pregnant"

Jess was walking Rory to her car, carrying the last suitcase. She says "I promise to call as I get there. "
"Rory its okay, we will see each other soon" he says as he puts the suitcase in the car. He leans on the car facing her.
"How soon?" Rory felt anxious like it was all going to end. Like it was a summer romance then would end with the sunset.
"Soon" he says trying to reassure her. He grabs her face with his hand leaning in to give her a kiss. As their lips meet they can feel their goodbye getting harder. The not waking up next to her or working with her, made a knot tight in his throat. He loved her, he knew he wouldn't let her just walk away. This wasn't a goodbye it was a see you later. They hear someone calling Jess's name. They separate seeing Matt and Chris calling Jess. "I have to go" he says, putting his hands in his pocket. Rory turns around seeing a blonde next to the boys.
"Who's that?"
"Oh just some girl the guys hired to replace your position at the shop. I haven't met her yet"
Rory sighs not feeling comfortable about this at all. She hadn't felt this green envy since Shane. Even though she knew Jess wasn't a cheater, she was envious that she would get to spend time with Jess. Her Jess, she hears him say "Rory" did she space out?
"I'm trying to think of something life changing to say"
"Whats the best you've come up with?"
"Figure it out, Dodger" she says with a smile remembering the first night with her dark knight. She never understood why Jess got picked as a bad guy, the rest seemed a lot worse. She gives him a peck on the cheek. Opening her driver side door, she sits on the seat looks up at Jess with his eyes gleaming. Was he going to cry?
"I love you" he says as he bends down and kisses her lips one last time.
-Break-
Rory walked into the inn seeing her mother after the two months away. The place use to feel like home, but home was far away now. Her heart seems to be aching for a much more different home. She remembers talking to Lane about if she could live anywhere in the country where would it be and Lane chose Philadelphia to hang out with M. Night Shyamalan. Now Rory wanted to live there but to hang out with Jess Mariano. She finds her mother behind the desk. Her mother gasps "What?! The prodigal daughter returns. What are you doing here?"
"I couldn't stay away. I just missed you too much" she gets close giving her mother a hug.
"Aren't you the sweetest?"
They separate from the hug and Lorelai asks "How was the goodbye?"
"Awful. There's nothing good about a goodbye. It's a very poorly named ritual. It was a bad bye, a very bad bye. "
"Why?"
"I don't want to talk about it"
"Are you sure?"
"I just miss him so much"
"I know you do"
"And it's only been seven hours. Can you imagine when it's been - you know what? I don't want to talk about it. I need coffee."
"Okay. You sure, though, you don't want to talk? You can always vent to me. I'm the perfect vent-erizer - vent-erator."
"Lets not talk about me. How bout you? Did you finally tell Luke?"
"Wel…" her voice starts a little squealing.
"Mom you promised"
"Well we didn't have time."
"The whole ride home seemed like enough time"
"April was there, and I don't think she's mentally ready for that kind of news"
"I think you're not mentally ready to deliver that news"
"Yes I would much rather to deliver a pizza"
"Mom" Rory says trying not seem frustrated. Lorelai wanted to tell Luke. She wanted to make something special and want the night to be special but Anna stayed with her mother. The whole car ride was about plans on how to make sure Anna was okay. All the talk these days have been about Anna. As much as she hated to be envious at someone sick. She was selfish this way. Luke had all his focus on Anna and April. So Lorelai rather keep it all aside and just wait till the right time. She finally says to Rory "How bout we just don't talk about that."
"Well, you know, I guess we don't have to talk about stuff."
Yeah. Who says we always have to be talking? We can not talk"
"Of course we can"
"Let's do something that doesn't require talking. Like we could go to the movies."
"You want to try not talking at a movie? How bout a sport?"
"Well we kind of cant you are…"
"Hmmm..what do women like me do?"
"Relax you don't have a disease"
"Close enough with the way I vomit in the mornings"
"We should something relaxing"
"Like?"
They stand there focusing their brain on the corner of the desk trying to concentrate on an idea. They over hear a customer say over the phone "I need to find a tanning place and then a decent yoga instructer. The girls yell "Yoga" at the same time.
-Break-
Lorelai and Rory sat in the back of Miss Pattys studio on some yoga mats as Miss Patty was beginning the instructions "As you see my body cannot bend like a pretzel as it once did long before. So I hired kirk to demonstrate some of the more complicated moves, if you have a question don't hesistate. First we will begin with Down Dog"
Lorelai tells Rory "This doesn't seem too complicated"
"You wanna know what complicated long distance. Even a short distance seems like half way across the world."
A lady in front of them says "Shh"
Miss Patty then says "Next we moved to a bend knee, don't be shy to push those legs up ladies"
Lorelai says "Why was it a bad goodbye?"
"Because he didn't even seem to care, he made it seem like a see you later. And since I was helping out so well out the book store. They hired someone to replace, a very great looking girl might I add"
"Oh"
"What if he didn't care I was leaving because she not only replace me at my summer job but as a girlfriend too"
"What if the girlfriend position was the summer job"
"Mom" Rory says in frustration trying to believe that Lorelai was joking.
Kirk stands up from his position and yells at the girls "Is my positioning interrupting your talking? I can wait for the next position till your conversation ends. You are ruining the relaxationg " he sighs "The calming of the procedure"
Lorelai responds sounding not to sound sarcastic "Sorry Kirk" and then whispers to Rory "Do you wanna go?"
Rory nods "Yeah"
-Break-
Rory stood in the door way with Lorelai, she says "Are you sure you don't wanna stay in the couch?"
"No, its okay I will be fine"
"You rather stay with Paris than your own mother?" Lorelai says pretending to be offended.
"No, I rather stay on a bed and you have replaced me"
"I had to, we needed to raise someone that has the possibility of curing cancer and then you can write about it"
"Well that makes so much sense" Rory says trying not to laugh at her mother and her comments. Then she remembers a not so funny tune "Promise your going to tell Luke tonight"
"Tell Luke what" Luke says overhearing Rory.
Lorelai turns around eyeing Rory "That Jess dump her in the trash"
"He what?"
"Mom"
"I'm kidding. "
"Well I should go" Rory says trying to avoid an awkward situation. She gives mom one last squeeze and a wave to Luke. As she ascend the porch stairs, her phone begins ringing "Juicebox" from the Strokes. It brought a smile to her face knowing exactly who's song was that. She flips open the phone before it stops ringing "Hey James Dean"
"Huh. Dean you say?" she winces remembering the Dean, she actually knows. Knowing that she hasn't told Jess about the second or would be the third time she was with him. "Sensitive subject?" he says trying not to sound sarcastic.
"No, your voice makes me sad"
"Like those animal abuse commercial sad?"
"Like I miss you and wish you were here sad"
"Open your glove compartment" Before asking why, Rory opens it.
I know you must hate me for ending it like this. Coming Up Lorelai finally tells Luke about the pregnancy and you find out what Jess gave Rory (:
