Chapter 12- Placing the past behind.
I never told anyone about Dean coming over but if I was alone in the house I made it a habit to lock all the doors. The town people noticed Dean becoming angrier and more violent towards people, some were even saying that he beat his girlfriend. I can almost believe it.
Mum, grandma, Sookie, Lane, Jess and even Paris all went shopping with me. Helping me to get prepared is what they called it. Grandma even went as far as to enrol the baby into a pre-school. It was so funny. It was so relaxed. No one looked down on even Jess or me. The weird part was Paris. She didn't seem herself. When I asked her she said she missed me in class. Missed me! I can't get over that one, but what she said next shocked me even more. She wants to be friends. Paris asking me to be friends., Of course I said yes. She seemed so delighted, You've never seen Paris that happy.
We spent up big. Strollers, baby capsules, clothes and every other conceivable baby object we could find. The next problem was where to put all of the stuff. My room couldn't hold it all. That is where grandma surprised all of us.
I would have thought she would shun me, but actually she seemed to love the whole situation. She wasn't living up to those rules held up by high society. She told me that half of the baby stuff was going to stay at her house, so I could come around anytime and stay the night if necessary and so that she could see her grandchild. I think she feared she wouldn't get to she it grow up like she did with me.

I think we learnt a bit about Emily Gilmore today. She doted on Rory. She even told her in her own way that she wants to be part of this child's life. I think that helped Rory. She hasn't got that much support on her side. Even Paris is going to become her friend. I still don't understand her but it made Rory smile. I don't care, her happiness is important to me.
This baby is going to be loved. Looking around at everyone today you can see it on their faces. It's like they're more excited than Rory is. Secretly I know she can't wait. Nor can I for that matter.

I came home, arms full of goodies for the baby. Walking into my room I put them all on my bed and went to retrieve another lot of packages but something white of the top of my pillow stopped me. Looking closer it was a letter addressed to me. Turning to see who was watching there seemed to be no one. Shakily I picked up the letter and opened it. Reading it my mouth opens in horror and slide down the side of the bed, tears rolling down my face as I stare at the letter.
"Rory where do you want all this stuff?" Jess asked his face covered by a pile of boxes. Lowering the boxes after not hearing a reply he see Rory crying. Walking over to her he sits down next to her. Seeing the letter he reads over her shoulder:
Dear Rory.
I have no idea why I'm writing this letter, maybe it's all I have had to drink to tonight. I don't know. I'm sorry for treating you the way I did. I'm also sorry for coming to your house that time and scaring you. I know I scared you. I don't know how I know that. You were right when you said I would have got you to get rid of it. I know you would never do that. And I would like to apologise for what I'm about to do. I might have one day loved that child but not now. Jess loves you and this child. I can't seem to get used to the fact I have a child! I want the child to never know about me. Jess is its father and that is the way it is going to be. Promise me Rory. Never tell.
Dean
Sitting there staring at the letter they failed to her sirens punctate the silent background. ============================================================================
I never thought id do this to Deans character. Never but I have. I really don't mind his character. Anyway thanks to all those who reviewed the last chapter: markie, alliegirl , coffee-gal, Sarah V. This story only has a few parts left to go. So im going to try and get them up every second day. Well try to anyway. Enjoy:)
