A/N: I'm a Literati sucker, what I can say? Hehe. I hope you like this story. It's completely different from the other one. It's a little more drama and it's a little more complicated than the others. The characters are little more dramatic and not easy to write, but I loved them in this way. I put something very personal in this story. What Jess is going to live here, it was a state close to me before. The territory I'm about to enter hits close to home for me. But I think you're gonna like it despite the drama. I hope for your support as always and please review if you like what you read. That keeps my muse alive!

P.S. English is not my first language, but I'm really trying here. So, if you think that it's hard for you to read - just don't read it! The reason I'm in this alone it's because I have updates every day. I love my readers and I want to pleased them in that way.

Rating: T (maybe M for some chapters, but we'll see);

Story:

Rory comes back to Stars Hollow to try and pick up the pieces of her ruined life. But she is not the only one who want to do that. Jess is there too, but he is not the same.

Chapter 37 Not sure

Rory heard the slamming of the front door and she was sure that was Lane.

"Rory?" Her friend's voice echoed from the kitchen. "Are you here?"

"My room!" Rory increased her voice and seconds later Lane was there. She held a paper bag in her hands. "Did you get them?"

"I bought five!" Lane looked at her friend. "And… I had to buy them from the nearest town. You know what was going to happen otherwise."

"I know." Rory nodded and got off the bed. She took the paper bag from her friend and hid in the bathroom.

"But why do you need five? You can make sure only with one." Lane asked her when Rory showed up back in the room.

"Because, it's impossible!" Rory murmured and sat on her bed. "Now we have to count five minutes." She looked at the watch.

"What?" Lane sat close to Rory. "What are you talking about?"

"I can't be pregnant." Rory shook her head.

"Why?"

"Because…" Rory avoided Lane's look. "Because we were careful."

"So Jess is the father, right?"

"What are you talking about?" Rory snapped.

"Well, I saw your photos with that guy…"

"Not you too!" Rory got off her bed and turned her back to Lane. "I broke up with Austin long before I could come here!"

"I'm sorry."

"I thought that you would believe me." Rory shook her head.

"Rory." Lane lowered her voice.

"Five minutes." Rory murmured and walked in the bathroom. She took the small stick from the cupboard and saw the two pink lines. "This is impossible!" Rory shook her head with disbelief. Then she took the next box.

"So?" Lane asked her when she walked out.

"It's positive." Rory murmured.

"But you're not happy?"

"Let's just wait okay?" She crooked her face. "I feel bad again."

"It's okay." Lane rushed to her and helped her to the bed. "Lie down now. You ate something?"

"Nope." Rory murmured. "I was bad the whole morning."

"Do you have any biscuits? Maybe it'll calm your stomach."

"I think we have some in the kitchen." Rory closed her eyes. She placed her hands over her stomach and took a deep breath. All this could not be real. It was just impossible.

"Here." Lane came back quickly. "I found them." She handed the small box with biscuits to Rory. "You have to eat something, otherwise you're gonna feel bad all day."

"You really think I'm pregnant." Rory murmured and looked at her friend. "How can you be so sure?"

"Well, you took the test, right?" Lane smiled.

"I took it, but it's not 100% sure!" Rory avoided her eyes and took a biscuit from the small box.

"Are you afraid? Is that it?" Lane touched her arm.

"No." Rory shook her head.

"You think that Jess won't accept it?" Lane tried again.

"No." Rory bit her lower lip. Her hands trembled.

"Then what?" Lane looked worried. "C'mon Rory! You can trust me!"

"They told me I can't have children." Rory sighed.

"What? Who?" Lane looked at her with confusion.

"Does it matter?" Rory's eyes filled with tears. "I don't think that…"

"Okay. It's okay now." Lane forced a smile. "Maybe they are wrong."

"Or maybe the tests are wrong." Rory shook her head.

"We'll see, but I really think that you are pregnant Rory." Lane tilted her head. "I looked in the same way when I was pregnant."

"Could you give me the test?"

"Sure." Lane nodded and hid in the bathroom.

"So?" Rory asked her when her friend came back. "What is it? Negative, right?"

"No." Lane shook her head. "It's positive again."

"Okay." Rory sighed and closed her eyes. "We have three more."

"You are pregnant, Rory!"

"I wish I am!" She bit her lower lip. "But let's wait."

"You wish?"

"Yeah." Rory nodded. "And… if by some kind of a miracle I am, Jess is the father. I can't wish more."

"You are." Lane insisted.

"We'll see!" Rory whispered.

Three tests later, Rory still was not convinced. They all were positive and Lane was all smiley. She was sure that her friend was pregnant, but Rory still was not. She needed something more to believe in that miracle.

"C'mon, Gilmore! Smile!" Lane smiled as she handed her friend the last test. "You're going to have a baby!"

"No!" Rory shook her head. "I have to go to the hospital and make sure of it!"

"How many tests do you need?" Lane sighed. "You are pregnant!"

"Take me to the hospital!" Rory insisted.

"Sure." Lane sighed and took her coat. "Put something warm. It's cold outside. I'm gonna wait for you in the car."

"I'll be ready soon." Rory nodded and opened her wardrobe.

Five minutes later, they were on their way to the hospital. Lane could not stop talking and Rory was thankful for that. Her nerves were tense and her thoughts were a mess. Rory sighed and looked down at her hands. She could not hope too much. Disappointment could kill her this time.

"Here we are." Lane looked at her friend and stopped the car. "I don't think you need this… after five tests, but if that would make you completely sure…"

"Thank you for being here with me, Lane." Rory tried to smile. "It means a lot to me."

"You have to thank to my kids and my husband." Lane rolled her eyes. "He called me with the news that the twins changed their mind for the camp."

"Huh?"

"They will be there another month and my husband would be here the next week." Lane smiled.

"So you are here another month?" Rory looked at her.

"Yes." Lane nodded. "I'm here another month."

"Okay." Rory nodded and got out the car. "Let's get over it!"

Lane was with her through the whole time. She supported her on her way out of the hospital and shook her head when Rory got in the car.

"Eat your chocolate now." Lane murmured and watched as Rory lay her back on her seat. "You look pale."

"I lost some blood there. I have to look like that." Rory frowned but opened the chocolate bar.

"It was small amount." Lane laughed. "But okay, as you saying." She started the engine.

"You can stop before Luke's Diner." Rory murmured few minutes later.

"You want to talk to Jess?" Lane threw her a brief look.

"I want to see him." Rory lowered her look. "I don't want to tell him yet. I want to make sure."

"Okay. It's your call." Lane shrugged.

"Can you take the results tomorrow?" Rory looked at her friend.

"Sure." Lane nodded. "I will."

"Thank you." Rory nodded.

"You are welcome." Lane smiled and stopped the car in front of Luke's Diner. "Here we are."

"Thanks once again." Rory nodded.

"Just a friendly advice – you have to eat only light food from now on." Lane winked at her and Rory shook her head when she closed the door.

Jess was waiting for her at the front door of the diner. He looked worried, but Rory just smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Hey." He pressed his lips to her temple. "What's wrong?"

"I just wanted to see you." Rory murmured. "Lane took me to the hospital today."

"And?"

"I'm fine." She sighed and felt his arms wrapped around her. "I'm okay."
