THE AWAKENING
Chapter 8: Dad
A/N: I decided not to include details of Rory's vacation. I also decided to fast forward the story to get the drama part of the story. So the following is set a couple of weeks after her vacation. Jess realizes that Rory needs her space and he does his best to avoid her. Rory on the other hand is slowly trying to piece her life back together.
*******At Lane's Apartment*******
"Rory are you okay?" Lane asked through the bathroom door. "Sweetie I'm really worried about you, I think it's time we go to the hospital."
"Lane," Rory began as she stepped out of the bathroom, "We don't need to because I already have. Lane, I'm pregnant."
"Is Dean the father?" asked Lane, "Wait, oh my god! Jess is the father!"
"Yes, Jess is the father." Rory said softly.
"So when are you going to tell him?!" inquired Lane.
"I don't know. ::sigh:: We've been avoiding each other for so long that this kind of news is just too intense. And what am I going to say, 'Hey remember that night when we had sex and then I walked out on you and ignored you, yeah well, I'm carrying your kid. Yup, you're going to be a dad." Rory said gloomily.
Lane pulled her friend into a tight embrace, "Rory, he has a right to know. And remember I'll be here to help you with anything."
*************At the Office************
The elevator door opened and Rory stepped inside. She felt calm and was prepared to tell Jess the news.
"Hold the elevator!" yelled a familiar voice.
Rory pressed the open button and Jess quickly stepped inside.
"I didn't realize that you were in here, I'll take the next one." Jess said preparing to leave.
Rory grabs his arm, "That's not necessary. I need to talk to you anyways."
Jess turns to Rory with a serious look on his face. "Good because I need to tell you something very important." Almost as if they could read each others mind, they both reach for the stop button. They rewarded each other with a bashful smile.
"Rory, I've been wanting to tell you something for the longest time," Jess began.
"Jess, what I have to say may change our lives forever," Rory said. Jess placed his finger on her lips.
"Rory, I've been practicing what I'm about to say for the last two weeks so please let me get it all out," Jess said and he took his hands and cupped her lovely face, "I was offered a job at the London Tribune and I took their offer. I'm leaving tomorrow and I have a contract with them for the next two years. I wanted to tell you this because I caused you heartache long ago and I succeeded in doing it again. I am so sorry. Rory I love you with all of my being now and forever. I left without saying goodbye last time, I won't let it happen this time."
Rory is sobbing softly unable to hold back the tears, "Jess."
"Shhh," Jess kissed her forehead and pulled her into his arms. "Goodbye," Jess said softly in her ear. He released the stop button and the elevator started to rise again. He pulls slightly back and captures her lips. He gives her a final passionate kiss before stepping out of the elevator. The door closes and Rory is left alone.
"Jess, we're going to have a baby," Rory whispered.
*********Six months later***********
"Rory Gilmore, will you marry me?"
"You know my answer!" Rory said with a smile.
A/N: I realize this chapter is unbelievably short with a horrible cliffhanger. Please don't kill me!!!! The finale soon to come!
