A.N: So, I'm going to try and make this jumping around chapter not-confusing. I'm actually a little confused myself about how I'm going to do it, but that's O.K. Know that I write these notes BEFORE I actually type up the chapters, that way you'll get a better view of my mindset before and after.

AFTER THE WRITING: Wow, I actually really really love this. It's kind of short, which is ok with me, but I'm seriously in love with it. It's so…raunchy in a way. I hope you all enjoy as well!

Love in this Club

Emily Gilmore didn't ask for much in life. A good home, a loving husband, food on the table and clothes on her back…maybe even a few expensive paintings and a good maid. She had a daughter who, in all her flaws, is generally a good person. Even though Emily didn't exactly approve of her newlywed husband, he wasn't terribly hopeless. At least he has a job for God's sakes.

Her granddaughter on the other hand was supposed to be the crème de la crème. The cherry on top of the ice cream sundae, Rory was supposed to make something of herself, and let nothing get in her way. This is what Emily Gilmore had assumed….apparently something does happen when you assume.

Blaming this completely on Rory would be wrong and untrue, of course. It takes two to tango, especially when her significant other is a 'reformed' hoodlum. Emily never liked the boy, even when re-introduced to his new self. There was something there she knew she didn't approve of. But Rory clearly had strong feelings for him so there had to be something good about him.

Now we all know what that is, don't we?

Babies are not meant for 20-something year old children. Babies come later in the game, when there is a stable family environment, stable income and two stable parents who know what they are doing by that point. Granted, Lorelai did an amazing job raising Rory on her own, but Lorelai is also very strong headed. Christopher, who has had his share of issues, was a nice boy willing to do what it took to get through the pregnancy in one piece.

Rory's career was rising upward; this is what made Emily furious. Turning down an once-in-a-lifetime assignment to have a baby with a hoodlum is not the decision a responsible adult would make. A responsible adult would have made sure to not get impregnated in the first place.

A responsible adult would put her career before her 'extra-curricular activities'.

Knowing all this, Emily Gilmore decided not to say anything when told her granddaughter was expecting. She decided to keep silent. Mostly because everyone in the room had assumed she would blow her top. They assumed Rory would not be let in the elders' Gilmore home again. They assumed things would go overboard and at least one person would flee the room in tears or rage, the other saying "Like mother like daughter."

So Emily just sat and finished her pork loin, mentally enjoying the silent surprise covering the table.

After dessert, when their guests left, Emily heard her husband exclaim his horror of the situation. Expressing the same thoughts she had cooped in her mind, but suddenly his anger turned into something of… pity. Phrases like, "Poor girl" and "How are the ever going to raise a child? We are going to have to take it upon ourselves to make sure this baby has everything it needs." Emily stayed silent but nodded in agreement.

Just because she had made a mistake, did not mean Emily would not do her best to help her granddaughter; the boy, not so much. But she did the same for her daughter and she will do it again, sadly, for her daughter's daughter.

Of course, the age difference of the two women's conception is significantly different, but Emily feels they were in similar positions; maybe from a lack of understanding of what this Jess actually does for a living.

All she knew was that despite her hatred for the seemingly repeating situation, Emily would do what she could to see to it that this child would not see the after effects.
