~*~ Chapter 4 ~*~
By 6:15 Rory had finished sorting through ¾ th's of her collection. She had found 6 books that she wanted to take wither her to Washington. Deciding that 6 was enough she quit sorting. She grabbed some clothes and headed to the shower. On her way up the stairs she heard a lot of clanking noises coming from her mom's room. When she got to Lorelai's room she poked her head in the door.
"Mom?"
"Hey sweetie!" replied Lorelai.
"What are you doing?" Rory nudged her way into the room being careful not to step on any of the many clothes that were piled on the floor.
"I'm looking for my black v-neck tee. You haven't seen it have you?"
"I think it's in the laundry. I wore it the other day."
"What did I tell you about borrowing my clothes?"
"Don't get caught."
"Oh yeah. Right. Well, good girl then."
"Why can't you just wear a blue one or a green one?"
"I have some very important people coming to the inn today and I have to look nice."
"Here," Rory handed her mom a shirt. "Just wear this red tank top."
"Great! I can look like a cherry. That'll impress em."
"I'm sure you will dazzle em with your wits."
"Sure, dazzle em while lookin like a cherry."
"That's my mom! I'm gunna go jump in the shower." She started to walk out of the room.
"Oh Ror."
"Yeah?" She turned around.
"I forgot to tell you about your dad yesterday."
"What is it?"
"Sherry and he decided to work things out. She's pregnant. He's moving in with her."
It was silent for a little bit.
"Well, at least he'll be there for one of his children's childhood." Rory walked down the hall to the bathroom.
Lorelai thought to herself. How can Rory be so non-chalant? Maybe she just doesn't want to show that she is a little upset. Or maybe she knew that it would happen all along.
Rory got into the shower. This time she wasn't thinking about Jess or Dean. She was thinking about her dad. 'He wasn't there for me so this is good that he is going to raise this child and be in its life.' Although she was glad that her dad was getting a second chance she couldn't help but feel a shred of sadness. When her dad came back she always had a feeling that it wouldn't last. That's her dad, Mr. Non-Commitment.
When she got out of the shower she was actually processing what a baby meant for her. It meant a baby brother or maybe a baby sister. A smile crossed her face. She had never thought about a brother or sister and now that she was, it sounded kinda cool.
When she was finished getting ready she trotted down to the kitchen.
"I'm ready!"
"How come you weren't upset when I told you about your dad?" Lorelai wondered out loud.
"I guess that I'm just kinda happy for him. I mean, it's like he gets a second chance to do things right."
"Oh. Well, let's go to Luke's."
"All this excitement had me forgetting about that."
"The sooner, the better. If things go bad at least you'll have Washington to escape to."
"But I will have to come back."
"If all else fails we'll just get you plastic surgery."
They were to Luke's by the time Rory realized the jeep had moved.
"Luke!" Lorelai yelled.
"You again?" Luke remarked, making he way to their table.
"Hey Luke," Rory greeted.
"Hey Rory."
"Do you know where Jess is?"
"I sent him over to Doose's to get a couple of things for me. He's actually been listening to me since he got back. How do you know that he's back?"
"He came to Sookie's wedding yesterday."
"He didn't destroy anything did he?"
"Nothing that I noticed."
"Good. I have to go wait on the other customers." Luke glided over to the next table.
"Mom?"
"Go on. I'll drink your share of the coffee. Good luck."
"Thanx," Rory got up, hugged her mom, and headed to Doose's. When she walked in the door she followed the trail of the overly loud voices.
"All right!" Taylor shouted, "You two knock it off! Get out of here you hoodlum!"
"Fine, if you don't want my money!" Jess was working his way out of the store when he spotted Rory. "Hey." She gave him a smile and walked past him.
As Rory approached her hotheaded boyfriend she began to feel sick. Not the kind of sick as in the flu, but the kind of sick that you feel after riding the Scrambler 20 times in a row. Despite the battling of her brain and her stomach she continued on.
"Dean," she barely choked out.
"Rory, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"We need to talk."
"Hang on. I'll go see if I can get a break."
The two minutes that he was gone felt like an eternity to Rory.
"Rory, are you okay?" asked Dean.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"I have ten minutes. So, you want to go outside?"
"Yeah."
The couple made their way to the gazebo.
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
"I have to tell you something."
"Okay."
"I don't want you to interrupt me while I'm telling you."
"Okay."
"Promise?"
"I promise. Now what is it?"
"All right. As you already know, Jess is back. He came to Sookie's wedding yesterday and I was happy to see him. I don't know why I did it but, I kissed him."
"What!?" Dean's face turned red and Rory thought about the reference that her mother had made earlier that morning about looking like a cherry.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I know that that doesn't help it, but I'm sorry!"
"How could you do this to me?"
Dean got up and began to walk away.
"Dean!"
"What Rory? What could you have left to say?"
"I'm sorry," she began to cry, "I never meant for this to happen. I never meant to hurt you. It just did and I'm sorry. I'm a horrible, horrible person and I don't deserve to live. I should be hung by a noose in front of everyone!"
"I love you Rory and you stomped on my love. Why don't you go to Jess? Obviously there's something about him that makes you happier than everything about me!"
"That's not true!"
"You've already proved that t is so don't play that game with me. Quit lying and tell the truth for once!"
"You want the truth? Fine, I don't know why I kissed him and I don't know why I like him!"
"Well, you'll have plenty of time to figure it out because it's over!"
"Dean!" He ignored her and walked away.
She sat there for at least 10 minutes before she made the decision to go back to Luke's.
