Morning sickness, sluts, and silence
~~~~~~~~
Please R&R
~~~~~~~~
OMG! I can't believe all the reviews I've gotten! Thank you so much. Please keep reviewing and I'll keep writing. I'm sorry this part took so long. Finals are coming up and I haven't had much time to write. I'll try to get the next part out faster. Also I have an NC-17 (or soon to be) fic out called the torso Tango. It is a Trory, so all those who wanted one, there you go!

Rory and Jess walked home in silence. Half way there Rory took a hold of Jess's hand, entwining her fingers with his. She had feeling for him and they ran deep. She could remember his first birthday in Stars Hollow. Luke hadn't really planned a big party, because face it, this was Luke. Jess had neglected to mention his birthday to Rory. She had found him on the dock that day, yet another memory on the dock.

"So, I hear it's your birthday."

"Yeah, no biggie."

"18 seems big to me."

"Just another day."

"Yeah well, I felt bad that I didn't know, I bought you something."

"You didn't have to."

"I wanted to." She handed him a square box, wrapped in Oompa Loompa wrapping paper with a bow on it. He untied the ribbon and slowly ripped of the wrapping. Inside was a first edition of Oliver Twist. He looked up at Rory.

"How did you get this?"

"I bought it off my grandpa."

"Thank you Rory." He leaned over and gave her a kiss on the lips, a brush of his mouth an hers. "This has been the best birthday ever. Thank you again Rory.

"Your welcome Jess. You deserved a good birthday. I'm sorry I couldn't do more." She had walked away and left him smiling.

She shook her head and thoughts back into the present when they arrived at the house. They walked in to find Lorelai scream at Luke in between what sounded like vomiting.
"God Luke! I hate to throw up. You're making me throw up! Stop cooking. Oh, ugh."

"Lorelai, I'm not cooking. And you don't have to yell, I'm right here."

Rory and Jess walked up to the bathroom to find Luke holding Lorelai's hair up while she threw up. At the sound of her mother throwing up Rory began to gag.

"Ugh, Jess I think I'm gon-." It was to late. She threw up on his shoes.

"I thought you said you liked my shoes..." he said holding her so she wouldn't fall. He got her over to the sink. Lorelai and Rory spent the next three hours taking turns, almost in shifts, in the bathroom. Morning sickness was going to be a bitch and not always in the morning. The Danes-Gilmore clan, all 7 members, finally got to sleep at around midnight. Jess and Rory fell asleep on the floor in the living room-they had been watching an infomercial while awaiting Rory's turn to pray to the porcelain god. Luke and Lorelai had fallen asleep in the bathroom, huddled together in the corner.

Morning came quickly for the Danes-Gilmore clan, and with it another day of teaching for Rory and Jess. The good news was that Rory didn't feel nauseous and even had a pop-tart. The two teachers walked to school with each other, babbling about the night before. They were both wiped, Rory more so then Jess. Rory felt a need for serious caffeine. She would have to settle for some apple juice. Maybe she would spring for a Thomas Kemper Root Beer. She looked over at Jess who was staring at her stomach. He gave her a grin.

"I have an idea."

"Wow." There was silence. "You gonna tell me what it is?"

"Oh. Yeah. Lets go shopping today after school."

"Really? I mean you don't have to." Rory said, not hiding the excitement in her voice.

"Yeah, Can I join you in the dressing room?" He asked, raising his eyebrows suggestively.

"In your dreams Diner boy."

"How did you know?"

"You dream about me?"

"That was joke."

"I know, do you though?"

"Sometimes. The other day you turned into model and we did it on a pool table."
"Ugh! Thanks for sharing Jess. You know, I had a dream like that once. Except you didn't turn into a model. Oh! And it was in a pool, not on a pool table." She walked into the school and down the hill to her room. She stopped when she heard two students talking and heard her name.

"Yeah, Miss. Gilmore and Mr. Marino (I'm not sure if that is spelled correctly, can someone please tell me?) Are sleeping together. No wonder she's pregnant. Slutty." The girl laughed with her friend for a moment.

"Well, I sure wouldn't mind going at it with Jes-." the girl stopped when Rory walked around the corner, a hurt look on her face.

"Good morning girls. How are you this morning. And it's Mr. Marino to you, not Jess. I would keep that in mind." She continued on toward her room. Those girls thought she was a slut. Maybe she was. She had slept with Tristan twice, and he had left her both times. Only this time they wouldn't get another chance. He was gone. But she had Jess. And her babies had Jess. That was all that mattered. She turned her thoughts to lighter subjects. She was excited to go shopping with Jess. It would be fun.

Jess stood outside the building with a dumb founded look on his face until one of his students, Jade, came up and asked him a question. He was excited and yet apprehensive about going shopping with Rory. To late now. He shook his head and started to help Jade with the problem, while walking up the stairs.

A few hours later, after school.
~~~~~~~~

Rory walked out of the building, and smiled when she saw Jess waiting outside. They walked home and told Lorelai and Luke where they were going. They jumped in Jess's car and rode into Hartford.

"I love shopping." Rory said.

"I hate shopping." Jess mimic in the same happy tone that Rory had used.

"I'm glad you like to shop too."

"Er..."

They got to the mall and Rory walked strait into Starbucks.

"I'll have a large decaf coffee. Make sure it's decaf." she said looking at the guy behind the counter with an evil eye. Jess felt need to explain why the decaf part was so important.

"She's pregnant."
"Ah. Okay, one large very decaf coffee. And for the dad to be?'

"Uh- uh- coffee? Plain, black, strong coffee."

"Coming right up."

"Thanks." Rory and Jess walked over to the pickup counter and Jess asked the question first. "Is everyone always going to assume I'm the father?"

"I'm not sure. Half the town does. I mean we haven't really made it known that your not."

"Is that why Taylor is being so nice to me? Jeez. I was afraid he had started to like me." Rory laughed after Jess said this.

"Yeah well he told me I could do much better and hinted that we shouldn't get married."

"Well Ms. Patty said the same thing to me. Except she pinched my butt when she said it. I wish I was 17 again."

"Why?"

"'Cas at 17, she knew it was illegal, and that she could never have me. Now she scares me."

"Your scared of sweet Ms. Patty?"

"Hey! You don't have pinch marks on your ass, so don't even go there missy."

Rory couldn't help it, she started cracking up as they got there coffee. "Oh god jess. Do you really have marks?" She asked as she continued to crack up.

"You'll get yours Rory Gilmore."

"Ha! Says who?"

"Says me."

"Yea, I'm not afraid of a man who is scared of a dance teacher, who is a bit grabby."

"More than a bit."

"Whatever."

"Hey, that looks like Caleb. Should you go say hi?"

"Uh..."
"Ror?"

"Yeah, I guess." Rory and Jess walked over to the table where Caleb was sipping coffee.

"Hey Caleb."

"Rory! Hi. It's nice to see you again. What are you doing here?"

"Shopping for clothes."

"Baby clothes?"

"No. People clothes. Twins grow fast, my clothes are already all tight on me."

"Well, that sounds fun. Mind if I join you?"

Complete silence
