Chapter 3
"You are so dead if she's pregnant." Lorelai sighed and sat down on the couch next to him.
"I know. Luke is going to hurt me."
"I was talking about me." She glared.
"ahem.. so umm pink minus sign it's negative and blue plus it's positive."
"NO. No signs just colors." Lorelai correct. "Pink positive. Blue negative."
"Got it." he let out a nervous breath.
//Bathroom//
Rory entered the bathroom and closed the door behind her. She didn't look down, because she was afraid of what was waiting for her. One glance at that stick would change her future forever. She stared at herself in the mirror for a second. "Just take a deep breath and do it." she told herself sucking in as much air as she could. She looked down at the test.
//Living Room//
Lorelai and Jess looked up as they heard the bathroom door open. Jess stood quickly and walk closer to the bathroom, Lorelai stayed seated. "Rory...." Jess trailed off.
She looked down at her feet and burst into tears, before crashing into Jess' waiting arms. She buried her face in his shoulder and Lorelai grabbed the stick. "Pink." She whispered to herself.
"What am I going to tell Dean?" Rory cried into Jess' shirt as she breathed in the comforting smell of his cologne.
"Rory I will tell him. I don't want you to get all stressed out." Jess told her. "It's bad for the baby."
"No You don't have to do that."
"I'm going to take care of you Rory." he stated firmly, one hand on each of her shoulders as he stared into her eyes.
"Huh where have I heard that before." Lorelai grumbled.
"I'm sorry Mom." Rory sobbed as she walked towards her. Lorelai quickly stood and took Rory into her arms.
"I know sweetie," she comforted her. "I hate to admit it but i agree with Jess. You shouldn't get upset. Let him talk to Dean for you."
"Fine." She agreed reluctantly. "Jess, don't be mean and don't get into a fight."
"That's that last thing you need."
"And don't tell him she's pregnant. If he finds out the whole town will know by tomorrow." Lorelai added, as Jess grabbed his coat with a nod. "And Jess."
"Yeah."
" Sorry about the whole death threat thing." she smiled a little bit.
"I'll see you tomorrow." he told them before leaving.
//Dean's house//
"Is Dean home?" Jess asked a little girl who answered the door at Dean's house.
"DEAN!! Someone's hear to see you." the girl yelled.
"Is it Rory." his voice called from somewhere in the house.
"Not unless Rory became a really cute guy." She answered as Dean appeared at the door.
"What do you want?" Dean growled as the little girl walked away.
"I need to talk to you." Jess replied trying to stay calm for ROR's sake.
"About what?" he wondered suspiciously.
"Just please come talk to me Dean," he sounded defeated.
Dean closed the door behind him as he stepped onto the porch. "What's going on is Rory, OK?"
"No. Well, yeah." he corrected himself. "She asked me to come talk to you."
"Why you?"
"Look there is no easy way to say this." Jess paused. "It over between you and Rory."
"The hell it is!" Dean yelled. "Nice try city boy, but I'm not buying it."
"Why would I make this up?"
"I don't know. It's your idea of some sick joke."
"Dean." He looked into his eyes. "I swear to God I'm not lying."
Dean let those word sink in for a minute, he knew that Jess was telling the truth but he didn't want to believe it. "What did you do you her?"
"Nothing."
"Then why are you here! Why couldn't she tell me herself?"
"I'm sorry." Jess sighed sincerely. "She was just to upset to talk to you."
"So she sent her earned boy." Dean provoked. It took all his strength, but Jess turned and down the porch stairs. "Come back her you asshole." Dean yelled. "You stole her from me!"
Jess stopped at the end of the sidewalk. "Rory's not an object. She can't be stolen, only her heart can ... and even that is by choice."
//The Gilmore House//
A few days later, after the shock had begun to fade, Rory and Lorelai stand curled up on the sofa talking. "I'm so scare Mom" Rory shook in her mother's arms.
"I know how you feel sweetie." Lorelai rubbed her arm. "I know all to well."
"What am I going to do with a baby." Rory sighed. "I mean how am I going to take care of a kid?"
"I asked you father the exact something when I got pregnant with you."
"Really? What did he say?"
"Well, something really profound actually. If you could believe that," she laughed.
"What did he say," she repeated.
"He said Lorelai. I know you're scared and believe me I am too. It will be hard have a child and raising it on our own. Of course little did I know at that time that I would be raising you on my own." Lorelai interjected.
"Mom."
"Sorry." She continued. "He said don't think of it as having a kid... Thank of it as gaining a new best friends. Who will be there with you for the rest of your life no matter what happens." Rory sniffled but didn't say a word. Somehow that did make her feel a little better. Lorelai gazed off into space, as she remembered what it was like for her to be pregnant with Rory.
"I need some coffee." Lorelai sighed then smiled. "Hey I just thought of something." Rory looked up at her. "NO COFFEE FOR YOU!"
"NO!!" Rory yelled at that realization. "Say it isn't so."
"It's your punishment." She laugh devilishly. "I'm going to Luke's. I'll bring you back so warm milk."
"Oh joy." Rory sighed and flicked on the tv. Lorelai had been gone for 15 minutes before a knock came at the door. Rory stood slowly and trudged towards that door. Her stomach was beginning to hurt. "Forget your keys?" she asked as she pulled the door open, but was surprised to fine Dean. "What are you doing here?"
"I need to talk to you Rory."
"There's nothing to talk about." Rory said sternly closing the door, but Dean stopped her with his foot.
"Listen to me! I need and explanation." Dean yelled. Rory was taken back by this, she had never heard him yell like that.
The hormones took over and she burst into tears. "Don't yell at me." She sobbed her face in her hands.
"Stop!" he ordered not knowing what to do. "Why are you crying like that?"
"I don't know!!" she cried harder, then got an intense pain in her stomach. "Oh my God. What's wrong with me?" she shuffled to the couch, hold her stomach. "Owww." she cried again.
"Are you OK? What's wrong? Are you sick?"
"The hospital. I need to go to the hospital." She stated through painful breaths.
"Ill take you." Dean offered gliding her to the car. Rory sat curled against the door, her head pressed against the window. She took Dean's cell phone off the dash board and dialed Luke's diner.
"Please be there," she whispered. "Luke? Is my Mom there? Thanks." She waited for a minute. "Mom. I'm on my way to the hospital." She paused. "Dean.... I know." she cried. "I don't know Mom. Something's wrong. Something's really wrong," she took a minute to compose herself. "Meet me at the hospital.... I love you too."
Dean and Rory rushed into the emergency room and they took Rory right away. Dean took a seat and watched wheel of fortune which on the TV which was hang on the wall. "Excuse me sir," the nurse approached Dean.
"Yes,." He looked up at her.
"Are you the father?" she questioned.
"Oh no I'm with Lorelai Gilmore." he corrected and the nurse double checked her forms.
"This is Lorelai's chart." She smiled. "Are you the father?"
"What?" he asked still kind of confused.
"Are you that father?" she repeated as Lorelai, Luke and Jess came running in, just catching what she said.
"This is bad isn't it." Lorelai whispered as Dean stared at the nurse in amazement.
"Excuse me." Lorelai interrupted. "I'm Rory's mother. I mean Lorelai's mother. How is she?"
"She pregnant!" Dean stated.
"Duh!" Luke interjected.
"The doctor's haven't check her yet," she replied. "Is this the father?" she questioned again, pointing to Dean.
"No, I'm am." Jess stepped forward.
"Come with me" the nurse put her hand on his shoulder to guide him. "She wants to see you." Jess hurried pass Lorelai avoiding Dean's death stare.
Jess rushed to Rory's side, she looked so small and scared laying in the hospital bed. "Rory." he breathed taking her hand in his. "Are you ok?" he asked kissing her forehead.
"I don't know Jess. I hurt so much." she cried. "What's wrong? What's happening to our baby?" Jess' heart broken as the words poured from her mouth. * our baby* he repeated in his head over and over again.
"It's OK." he whispered kissing her head. "everything's going to be OK." he hope out loud.
"Promise?" she asked squeezing his hands.
Jess looked away not knowing what to say. He began to cry .
"You are so dead if she's pregnant." Lorelai sighed and sat down on the couch next to him.
"I know. Luke is going to hurt me."
"I was talking about me." She glared.
"ahem.. so umm pink minus sign it's negative and blue plus it's positive."
"NO. No signs just colors." Lorelai correct. "Pink positive. Blue negative."
"Got it." he let out a nervous breath.
