"Mom, I've taken 10 home pregnancy tests. I am definitely pregnant. And you have appointments set up at 6 gynecologists---all in one day. It's not going to change the outcome." Haley cried, frustrated.
2 days after she had dropped the bomb, Haley had taken too many pregnancy tests to count. Not keeping it a secret, but at the same time doing just that, only Rory, Lorelai, Luke, Sean, Dill, and Emma knew.
"I know." Rory put a hand on her forehead and closed her eyes. "It's just a lot to take, Hales. I mean, my mom worked so hard for this not to happen to me, and it didn't. I guess I just didn't work hard enough with you."
"You did fine with me Mom!"
"I just don't get how this happened, Haley."
"I'll explain it to you. Blake and I-"
"Please stop there!"
"Mom this was my choice. You had nothing to do with this. You told me everything I would ever need to know, and I did what I did anyway. It's my problem." Haley said.
"Your problem is my problem, Haley. I'm your mother."
Haley wrapped her arms around her mom. "Don't worry Mom. It will be ok. I promise."
~*~*~*~
*6 Years later*
To make a long story short, Haley had her baby. Her boyfriend bailed on her after the first two years and went to college.
* "Jamie Elizabeth Manning! What did I tell you about not playing on the stepping stones? You know it's dangerous!" Haley pulled her muddy wet child out of the lake.
"I know, Mommy, but the duck was in the pond and I wanted the duck and so I HAD to Mommy!"
"Jamie Jamie Jamie." Haley said, lifting her dirty daughter off the ground and onto her hip despite the mud.
*
"Mommy?"
"What, Jamie?" Haley said, washing shampoo out of Jamie's hair. "Close your eyes."
The child immediately obliged. "I'm going to Yale just like Grams (Rory) and Gramps (Michael) and Grandpa (Richard) and Uncle Sean and Uncle Dill and Aunt Emma."
Haley smiled. "I know, Baby."
**1/2 hour later**
"Bye Mommy!"
"Bye Sweets. See you tonight!" Haley waved to her daughter from the porch as she climbed into the car with Lane's 6 year old daughter.
"Bye Haley! I'll have her home after dinner." Lane called out, climbing into the car.
"That's fine. Thanks, Aunt Lane."
Haley joined her mother and grandmother in front of the TV.
"What are we watching?"
"A personal favorite, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." Rory said.
"Oh, Matthew McConaughey! Definitely a crowd pleaser."
"Yes, there is nothing quite as yummy as Matthew Mconaughey. Except maybe a double scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough with sprinkle and hot fudge. Or one of those big brownie sundae things we got in Disney World that one time. OR-"
"Mom! We get it..but your right, that brownie thing was good!"
They all laughed.
"You two will never guess what Jamie just told me." Haley said.
"She wants to go to Yale like Michael, Richard, Rory, Emma, Dill and Sean?" Lorelai said.
"How'd you know?" Haley said with a smile.
"Well, forgetting the small little fact that she has been saying that since she could talk, I was walking by the bathroom when she said it." Lorelai said with a smile.
"Sweets, I've been thinking." Rory said.
"About what?" Haley asked.
"I think if you really want to give Jamie the opportunity to go to Yale.."
"What, Mom?"
"I think we should get her into Chilton." Rory said.
"Chilton? As in the hell you went to four 3 years?" Lorelai butted in.
"Mom, if I hadn't gone to Chilton, I would have never gotten into Yale. I think we would be doing Jamie a huge favor by enrolling her now, when she's young." Rory explained.
"Mom, I think that is a great idea. I mean really great. But you know I can't afford Chilton, and with you already helping me with the costs of Jamie, and having put Sean through Yale, and now Emma and Dill.you can't afford it either. And neither can Gran." Haley said.
Rory looked guilty.
"What did you do, Rory?" Lorelai asked suspiciously.
"Well..Grandma and Grandpa are going to be back from their 3 month trip around Europe in a week, and."
"Roryyy." Lorelai said warningly.
"Well, I kind of called them and told them we all wanted to have dinner the day after they come back. And I thought it would be the perfect time to ask them for the money to put Jamie through school. AND.I kind of applied Jamie for Chilton starting this fall." Rory said.
Shocked faces looked at her.
"But she got in! She can go to Chilton!" Rory said, smiling.
"Rory!" Lorelai said, shocked.
But Haley, on the other hand, was excited.
"Mom, that's a great idea! And I know they will do it because Jamie is their little angel. Oh my god, she's going to Chilton!" Haley jumped up and hugged her mom.
"Rory, you do realize we are going to be subject to Friday night dinners now." Lorelai complained.
"You don't have to go, Mom."
"Yes I do. Emily will make me. Grrr."
Haley and Rory just smiled.
