Chapter 11: News
3 Months Later-December
It was six-thirty in the morning and Rory was pacing the large expanse of floor space in the bathroom. She looked at the cardboard box for about the millionth time in the last two minutes. 'Blue means positive, pink negative' she chanted in her mind as if trying not to forget. There was only a minute to go and she was on the verge of insanity. She smiled for a moment thinking of the past three months. They had been blissfully perfect they had gone out for dinner once a week and on the weekends, if he didn't have a game they'd go to the park and play with Fenway. She glanced at her watch hoping against hope time was up, only ten seconds were left. When her watch beeped she took a shaky breath she couldn't stop shaking. She grabbed the test and looked at it. To her immense happiness it was blue. She had tears in her eyes and raced out of the bathroom, test still in hand. She jumped up on the bed and started screaming on the top of her lungs. "Ror?" came Tristan's sleepy reply. "Hey Tristan!" she cried out happily. "What's going on?" he mumbled. "I have great news!" she squealed making Tristan sit up and stare at her. "Are you okay Rory?"
"Fantastic," came her happy reply. "Rory." he groaned when he glanced at the clock. "So, why were you jumping on the bed two seconds ago?" she jumped off the bed and whispered, "Because I'm pregnant," and she sauntered out of the bedroom. "Whoa wait a second," Tristan said hopping out of bed and walking into the living room. "What did you say?" he whispered to her. Eyes shining, smile gracing her face she whispered the three words, again. "Because I'm pregnant," he smiled widely at her and leaned down and kissed her. Still smiling he whispered. "I'll go make the coffee you go call your mom,"
"Okay," she agreed and hurried to the phone. Punching in the familiar numbers of her beloved Stars Hollow home she waited impatiently as her mother she supposed was looking for the phone. "Hello?" came Lorelai's breathless answer. "Are you okay?" Rory asked concerned. "Fine, you woke me up at six-thirty which is bad Rory!"
"Shouldn't you be up already?"
"Well, yes but that's not the point so what's the reason of your call?"
"Can't I just say hi anymore?"
"No, what's up Rory before I come to Boston and kill you,"
"Well, I have some news,"
"Good? Bad? In-between? Hey, that's a good song!"
"Are you drinking coffee?"
"No!"
"Liar,"
"Okay your right. So, tell me your news!"
"I'm pregnant,"
"Oh my god!" shrieked Lorelai. "When did you find out?" she asked her suddenly serious. "Like five minutes ago,"
"Did you tell Tristan?"
"Of course,"
"Put him on the phone,"
"Mom, I told him already." Suddenly Tristan's voice cut through. "She told me Lorelai,"
"Good, now look I'm sure you to need to get to work and so do I so bye kiddos, love you both!"
"Bye Mom,"
"Bye Lorelai," echoed Rory and then Tristan. Rory hung up the phone and then headed into the kitchen to see Tristan, as promised standing by the coffeemaker making coffee. She was about to reach over Tristan for a cup and some coffee when Tristan leaned in and kissed her again. "Tris," she whined. "Rory," he mimicked. "God, I love you," she said with a roll of her eyes. "You know you do," he said slinging his right arm around her. "Come on I have to get to work," she complained. "I'm coming with you,"
"What? Why?" she asked surprised. "Jess wants to interview me on my thoughts for next season,"
"Can you believe they're getting married?" Rory asked suddenly. "Thought it would never happen,"
"How about the four of us and Rudy along with Emma go to dinner tonight?"
"Sounds good," Tristan said as he sat down across from Rory to eat.
"It's time to go!" called out Rory fifteen minutes later. "I can't find the keys!" he called back. "I have them," she said jingling the keys for effect. "Thanks," he said grabbing the keys from her hand and running out the door, Rory hot on his heels. "I'll call the doctor as soon as I get in, you invite Jess, Rudy and Emma, I'll invite Paris," Rory said when they started to drive to the Globe office. Five minutes later Tristan pulled up at the office. "Paris is going to kill me," muttered Rory as they made their way to their destinations. "I'll save you," Tristan told her with a grin. "Good," came her reply and with a quick kiss they headed their separate ways. "You're late!" called out Paris as Rory passed her office. "I know!" she called back. As Rory was hanging up her phone Paris came walking in. "Do you want to go out to dinner tonight? With me, Tristan, Rudy and Emma?"
"Sure,"
That Night @ the Restaurant
It was halfway through dinner and the conversation had lulled for the moment. Rory continued to eat ignoring the fact that Tristan was trying to make her speak. He finally jabbed her with a fork in the side. "Jackass," she muttered. "Love ya too Mare," he whispered back grabbing her hand and squeezing it tightly. "Guys, I have some news," Rory suddenly announced. The four other people at the table looked at Tristan and Rory. "Do you want to tell them?" she whispered glancing at her husband. "Okay.well I'm going to be a dad!" he said proudly. "Rory?" Paris questioned glancing at her friend. "Yep, I'm pregnant!" smiles were everywhere. "Oh my god!" shrieked Emma. They laughed at the girl. "Who else knows?" asked Paris. "You four and Lorelai,"
"Stars Hollow will know by tomorrow if not earlier," commented Jess. They all laughed again thinking of the beloved town. "I'd like to make a toast!" said Tristan suddenly. "To new beginnings," he started. "To being happy," broke in Jess.
"For the Red Sox to kicking some Yankee butt this year!" called out Rudy. "To family," said Emma quietly. "To us!" cried Paris. "For friends and most importantly love," came Rory's quiet voice. While her eyes filled up with Tears. "Aww Mary, no need to cry," Tristan said quietly kissing Rory on her forehead. "Without you guys I seriously wouldn't know what I'd do. I mean if it weren't for Paris I wouldn't have seen Tristan again, Rudy made me come to realize how in love I was with him, Emma you've been a great friend when I get mad with Tristan, Jess is like my big brother.and you, Tristan.you're my everything there is I love you all," she said with a soft smile.
"Tristan it's snowing!"
"It's rain,"
"No! No, it's snow!" she exclaimed. "Rain,"
"It's snow if you don't believe me, look over at the playground! See all the snow on it?"
"Your right!" came his surprised exclamation. "Can we go play in it? Please?" she begged. "Rory," he cautioned. "Oh come on where's your sense of adventure?"
"Rory,"
"I'm going by myself then!" she cried out marching over to the playground and climbing to the top of the jungle gym. Tristan groaned not knowing how Rory could find so much energy after a late night out. He got out of the car and went over to the playground, climbed to the top of the jungle gym and sat next to Rory. "You know what my mom use to tell me?"
"What?" came his reply while wrapping an arm around Rory's slender waist. "Magical Things happen in the snow," she said softly eyes sparkling. "And you believe that?"
"Yeah I mean Tristan it's when Luke and Lorelai fell in love, when we first made love." she trailed off with a smile while tucking back a strand of errant hair behind her ear. "Name a bad time when it snowed!"
"All the snows I've missed without you,"
"You didn't even know me until sophomore year," she chided. "Which made it all the more bittersweet, darling,"
"Your such a sweetheart,"
"Don't tell all the guys on the team that,"
"What if I have the baby while you're away at a game?"
"I'll come home,"
"Promise?"
"Promise," and as the snowflakes began to fall harder Rory was to busy kissing Tristan to notice.
