Puppy Love??
Chapter Three: Clones, Tears, and Punches
Rory has told Jess about her pregnancy and now they are preparing themselves for telling Lorelai and Luke. By the time they were done thinking about the situation and all of the things that were going through their minds, it was about six in the evening. Caesar was covering the diner with the assistance of Kirk, who had found yet another job around Stars Hollow, since Luke and Jess were not working that night.
Rory and Jess slowly made their way down the stairs from the apartment, hand in hand, and thinking about what they were about to tell Lorelai and Luke.
Jess: (While they are walking through Stars Hollow.) Are you sure that you are ready to do this?
Rory: As ready as I'll ever be.
Jess: (Pulls her in tightly with the arm that was once holding her hand.) Don't worry, we can do this and they will be supportive, even if it takes a little time for them to get used to the idea.
Rory: How do you know exactly what to say to make me feel better? (Looks up at him and gives him a smile showing her appreciation.)
Jess: It's a gift. But it's not quite as good as a gift as you and the little guy or girl that we'll get to meet in a few months.
Rory: I still can't believe that all of this is happening. I mean I always thought that it would, but I'm just so surprised.
Jess: This is a great thing and don't worry about how people react when they find out, okay? (Kisses her on the top of her head.)
Rory: Thank you so much for being so supportive and great about this whole thing.
Jess: You don't have to thank me Ror...I love you and will always be there for you.
The couple is now on the edge of the Gilmore yard and they pause before they continue toward the house.
Jess: (Gives Rory's hand a reassuring squeeze.) You ready?
Rory: (Exhales loudly.) The sooner we do this, the better that it will be. Let's go
They walk into the house.
Rory: Mom? Where are you?
She hears muffled voices coming from the kitchen.
Rory: MOM?!! LUKE?!!
Luke and Lorelai have been caught by Rory and Jess. The two were in the kitchen kissing when the Rory and Jess entered the house and didn't pull away from each other in time. Jess starts laughing when he sees what had been going on.
Jess: It's about damn time the two of you got together. Now we don't have to witness your constant flirting at the diner.
Luke looks embarrassed and starts to play with his hat and has his eyes glued on the floor.
Lorelai: Hey...um, how are you two? (Blushing from what just happened.)
Rory: You got some explaining to do! (Think Ricky Ricardo from 'I Love Lucy' and then picture Rory trying to imitate him.)
Lorelai: Me. Luke. Kissing. You. Jess. Caught. The End.
Rory: I don't think so. You need to form full sentences, not just act like monosyllabic woman who has learned a lot from her monosyllabic boyfriend or whatever the hell you two are.
Lorelai: (Looks at Luke and then sits and the kitchen table. Everyone else then takes a seat around the table.) Well, for a little while now, Luke and I have been um, seeing each other. But we wanted to hide it since we do live in Stars Hollow and they would analyze everything we did. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I just couldn't and I understand if you are mad at me for not saying anything.
Rory: I'm not mad, but it's just I wish I found out a different way. It's not exactly the greatest way to find out that your mom is with someone that you see everyday.
Lorelai: Thank you for understanding this and being so calm.
Rory: No problem. (Smiles and hugs her mom.)
The four are now sitting around the table unsure of what to do next. Jess looks at Rory and you can tell that he knows what she is thinking about.
Jess: Well, now that we went over all of that and sat in uncomfortable silence...
Rory: We, um...well Jess and I...
Jess: We have something to tell you guys. (Looks over to Rory and grabs her hand. He sees in her eyes that she won't be able to tell them.)
Luke and Lorelai and staring at the two and wondering what is going on.
Jess: Gosh, I don't really know how to say this...Know I understand how you felt before. (Looking at Rory.) Let's just put it this way...pretty soon Lorelai, someone will be calling you their grandma.
Lorelai and Luke stare at the two with complete shock.
Lorelai: (The shock soon disappears from her face and is replaced by a huge smile.) OH MY GOD! THIS IS SO GREAT!
Rory: You're okay with this?
Lorelai: Of course I am and I know how crappy it can feel to be a pregnant teen with a parent that hates them. This is great sweets. (She gives Rory a huge hug and you see the relieved expression on Rory' face.)
Luke is still sitting in silence. Jess is worried if he is going to be dead in a couple minutes.
Jess: (Warily asks.) Uncle Luke? You okay?
Luke: (Shakes his head and returns to reality.) Wha-Yeah, I'm fine. Wow. This is a big surprise. It's great, but I'm just kinda shocked that this is happening.
Jess: So, do I get to keep all of my limbs??
Everyone laughs at that statement and the tension and awkwardness is gone as they laugh at Jess's statement.
Rory: Mom, how are we going to tell Grandma and Grandpa about this? (Yawns as she finishes the statement.)
Lorelai: I'll be honest with you, it will not be easy. They will most likely tear us apart, but they will most likely accept it in time. The beginning might be rough, but I think that they'll end up supporting this.
Rory: (Smiles at her mom.) Well, today has been a long day for everyone, and I am beat, so I'm going to go to bed.
After about an hour of sitting quietly in the living room, Jess, Lorelai, and Luke are still talking about the day's events, including Yale.
Jess: I don't want to think about Yale right now. That is the last thing on my mind right now. Look, I want to ask you two something, but you have to promise not to say anything to Rory.
Luke and Lorelai nod their heads in understanding.
Jess: I have been thinking about doing this later, like when we graduated, but with the baby and all I just thought it would be appropriate if I did this sooner. I know this will sound really corny, but I want to know if you would be okay with me asking Rory to marry me.
Lorelai: (Starts to laugh.) Jess "Corny, cheesy, old-fashioned" Mariano, I give you permission. Whoa. I never would have thought that someone would ask my permission to marry Rory.
Luke: Who are you and what have you done to my sarcastic nephew?
The three laugh at Luke's comment.
Jess: Thank you so much for being so understanding. I know that Rory has been really worried about how you guys would react.
Lorelai: Don't worry about it, but if you heard my daughter or grandkid, your body will be in so many pieces...
Jess: Don't start planning my murder yet. I do not intend on hurting either one of them. I love Rory with all of my heart and I will love our kid just as much.
Luke: (Laughs.) I swear, this has to be a 'Twilight Zone' episode of something.
Lorelai: Yeah, you're like a clone of the real Jess like in 'Alias' and you are secretly planning to kill Taylor or something.
Luke: (Mumbles, but loud enough for Jess and Lorelai to hear.) I wish..
The three laugh at the thought.
(It's the next day and Jess, Rory, and Lorelai are walking to Luke's for breakfast. Jess ended up staying over that night since he ended up falling asleep on the couch. The three are talking about what happened the previous day when Babette overhears their conversation.)
Babette: Rory, doll!! Did I just hear right? Are you really pregnant?
The three are all mad at themselves for letting Babette, one of the queens of the Gossip Chain, overhear them talking about the baby.
Rory: Yeah, it's true.
Babette: Oh sugar, this is wonderful!! (Gives Rory a big hug.) I need to go call Patty. (She quickly goes back to her house.)
The three stop at the edge of the yard.
Jess: Why do I have the feeling that this is going to be a really long day?
Rory: By the time we get to Luke's the whole town will know.
Lorelai: This really sucks. You can't keep anything a secret in Stars Hollow. Damn Babette and superhuman gossip abilities.
They begin the walk to Luke's and as they get closer, people start to look at them and whisper to one another.
Rory: Ugh, it's already starting.
Lorelai: This is going to be a long couple of months.
They enter the diner and soon after, Miss Patty walks in.
Miss Patty: Rory, hun, congratulations! This is wonderful news. (She hugs Rory.) (She then looks over to Jess.) Well, it looks like I'll have to try to keep my eyes off of you now.
Jess shudders at what he just heard while Lorelai and Rory laugh. Miss Patty exits and Dean enters. While they were in the end of their junior year of high school, Rory and Jess broke up for a period of time (couple of months...wanted to give the whole 'let's be friends thing' a try) but then got back together (obviously). During that time, Rory went out with Dean for a couple of weeks, but he was unable to get over her and hoped that Jess and Rory would break up again.
Dean: Is it true?
Rory: Hi. Dean...
Dean: Answer me. Is it true? (Anger and jealousy are now apparent in his tone of voice.)
Rory: Um...well...
Dean: I should have known that something like this would happen. I can't believe that I ever had feelings for a little slut like you.
Jess stands up immediately when he hears this and punches Dean in the face. Luke who was nearby when everything happened came over and with the assistance of Jess literally throws Dean out of the diner. (Sorry to all of you Dean fans out there, but I really wanted that to happen. You know, make Jess and Luke look like heroes for the Gilmore Girls.)
Jess: (Shouting to Dean who is trying to get up.) Stay the hell away from her and don't ever say anything to her like that again!! If you do anything more to hurt her you will regret it!
Jess storms back into the diner and sees Lorelai comforting Rory, who is upset over what had just happened.
Jess: I am so sorry that he said that to you. He has no idea what he is talking about. (He sits next to Rory and tries to comfort her.)
Rory: It's just that this is all so much and it's hard to deal with everything that is going on right now.
Jess: I know, but remember you aren't going through this on your own.
As Jess is comforting Rory, Lorelai is seeing even more of the emotional side of Jess that is rarely exposed to anyone, except for Rory.
Lorelai: (To Jess) Thank you for being so great about this and for doing what you did to Dean. I can't believe I actually liked that jerk. Erg!!! There is only one thing that can help this situation...(She gets up and walks to the counter where Luke is putting money in the register.)
Lorelai: Hey, thanks for doing that. I never would have thought that I would see someone actually get thrown out of a diner.
Luke: He had no right to do what he did. He was stuck on the idea that he and Rory would get back together and was overcome by jealousy, that...stupid...bagboy...
Lorelai: (She interrupts his tangent by kissing him. Everyone in the diner is shocked and the Gossip Chain is working even harder now that they can add Luke and Lorelai being an item to the list of things to talk about.) I think our secret's out...
Luke: Yeah...
After spending a large portion of the day in the diner, the four are getting ready for dinner with the grandparents. Since Rory and Lorelai had missed the previous night, they said that they would come on Saturday night instead. Since they decided that they were going to share all of their news that night, Jess and Luke were accompanying the girls.
Lorelai: You guys ready to do this?
Rory: Scared to death.
Jess: I second that.
Luke: Same here.
Lorelai: Hell on Earth, here we come.
The four leave the driveway and being the ride to the elder Gilmore house. When they arrive, the four are hesitant to leave the car.
Lorelai: I say we leave the car running in case we have to make a quick getaway.
Rory: I fully support that idea.
Luke: The longer we wait, the harder it will get.
Jess: Why do I feel like I'm walking into the Spanish Inquisition??
Rory and Lorelai: You are.
Jess: (Sarcastically.) Alright, as long you warned me.
Now the four are standing outside the door, all are hesitant to ring the doorbell.
Rory: Is it too late to go back?
Luke rings the doorbell since he is tired of waiting.
Lorelai: Now it is.
The door opens and Emily greets them.
Emily: Lorelai, Rory, it's so good to see you. Luke, Jess, it has been a while since we have seen you. Come in, come in.
Lorelai: (Mutters under her breathe so that only Rory can hear her.) Just remember, you can do this.
Rory: (Quietly responds.) I love you mom.
They are now seated in the living room and are joined by Richard.
Emily: So, how have you four been?
Rory: Well, Jess and I got our acceptance letters from Yale yesterday.
Emily: That is wonderful news! I am proud of two.
Richard: This is absolutely splendid. I do believe this calls for a celebration.
Rory: (You can tell how nervous she is.) Well, there is more that Jess and I have to tell you...(Jess takes her hand.) You see, we um...well...
Emily: What is it dear??
Rory begins to cry and when this happens Lorelai's eyes begin to tear and she remembers when she had to tell her parents about her being pregnant and how hard it was to do so. As the memories come back to her, she begins to cry, which doesn't go unnoticed by anyone in the room. Emily and Richard are puzzled and wonder what would make the two girls cry.
Jess: What Rory is trying to tell you Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore is that...
Rory: Jess, let me tell them...What I'm trying to tell you is that I'm pregnant.
Emily and Richard are shocked at the news. Jess comforts Rory as she begins to cry even harder and Luke does the same for Lorelai.
Emily: Oh, my. This is quite a shock. Lorelai, you set a wonderful example for your daughter and look at what has happened. Now she can't go to Yale. Her life is ruined. I hope that you are happy with yourself.
She leaves the room and leaves Richard still sitting there in shock. Rory and Lorelai have tears steadily coming down their face now and the two guys are trying their best to comfort them.
Richard: I hope that you will accept my apology for what she said. Rory and Jess, this is great news, but it is just a big shock and it is hard for Emily to handle. I think it would be best if the four of you left. I'll talk to Emily about this. I want you all to know that I think this is a great thing that is happening.
Rory: (Between her sobs.) Thank you Grandpa. That really means a lot to me.
Richard: You don't need to thank me Rory. I love you and will you support you in whatever happens to you.
Lorelai: (She has calmed down a little bit.) Thank you for saying that dad. It is really nice to have your support in this. I know that in time, mom will accept this.
Richard: You're welcome Lorelai. I think that it would be best if you left now. We can continue this next week.
The four leave and Rory is still having a hard time dealing with how Emily reacted to the news.
Rory: I just can't believe that she said all of that and blamed mom for this happening.
Jess: I am so sorry that she reacted that way. But look on the bright side, your grandfather is very supportive of what is going on and you still have me, Luke, Lorelai, and all of Stars Hollow behind you.
Rory: (Smiles when she hears that.) Thank you for being so calm and always knowing what to say.
Jess: Don't worry about anything Ror. I love you.
Rory: I love you too. I just thought of something.
Jess: What is it?
Rory: What are we going to tell the people at Chilton?
A/N: Well, this was a long chapter, but I couldn't stop writing. The way I included L/L was kinda crappy but it was all that I could think of. I know the whole Dean situation was pretty dumb, but I really wanted to have a part where Jess punched him or something so that was what I came up with. Well, I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter and PLEASE REVIEW!! Even if you just say that you liked or hated it, just please tell me what you think. I'll try to write the next chapter soon, but chemistry class in addition to all of my other ones is really cutting down on my writing time.
A/N: I would have tried to update sooner but school is evil and I was busy with studying and attempting to learn chemistry. Thanks to those of you who reviewed, I really appreciate your comments.

Richard: You're welcome Lorelai. I think that it would be best if you left now. We can continue this next week.
The four leave and Rory is still having a hard time dealing with how Emily reacted to the news.
Rory: I just can't believe that she said all of that and blamed mom for this happening.
Jess: I am so sorry that she reacted that way. But look on the bright side, your grandfather is very supportive of what is going on and you still have me, Luke, Lorelai, and all of Stars Hollow behind you.
Rory: (Smiles when she hears that.) Thank you for being so calm and always knowing what to say.
Jess: Don't worry about anything Ror. I love you.
Rory: I love you too. I just thought of something.
Jess: What is it?
Rory: What are we going to tell the people at Chilton?
A/N: Well, this was a long chapter, but I couldn't stop writing. The way I included L/L was kinda crappy but it was all that I could think of. I know the whole Dean situation was pretty dumb, but I really wanted to have a part where Jess punched him or something so that was what I came up with. Well, I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter and PLEASE REVIEW!! Even if you just say that you liked or hated it, just please tell me what you think. I'll try to write the next chapter soon, but chemistry class in addition to all of my other ones is really cutting down on my writing time.
