The Circle of Lorelai
Ch. 2

Disclaimer- blah blah blah, yeah, you all know it "none of the characters belong to me, they belong to the WB" which is almost the exact same thing I said last time.

"Mom I'm scared," Rory said while her and Lorelai stood outside Luke's.
"Its okay Hon," Lorelai said, "It'll all be fine."
They entered Luke's and sat down at their normal table. Jess came over. "Um, Jess," Rory said unsteadily. "Can we go upstairs and talk?"
"Sure" Jess said with a smile on his face thinking about what she meant by "talk".
When they got upstairs Jess started to kiss Rory but she pulled away. "Jess, I mean it," Rory said, "We need to talk."
"About what? What is there to talk about?" Jess asked.
"Um." Rory said sitting down.
"What?"
"I'm. I'm." Rory said. "I'm pregnant."
"What?" Jess said.
"I did the test today, and, well," Rory said.
"Oh great, Luke's gonna have me for this," Jess said. "I guess you won't have an abortion will you?"
"No," Rory said.
"Then I have to marry you?" Jess said.
"Only if you want," Rory said, "But I might say no."
Downstairs Lorelai broke the news to Luke.
"What?" Luke yelled loud enough for everyone in the diner to hear, which included Taylor and Miss Patty. "How did this happen?"
"Luke, calm down," Lorelai said.
"Does Jess even know?" Luke said, still yelling.
"Rory's telling him right now," She whispered and pulled Luke down into the chair next to her. "And keep it down, Miss Patty's here."
"Fine," Luke whispered stubbornly. "I'm going to get that boy, how could he let this happen? And Rory on her way to Harvard next year."
"I know, but I'll help," Lorelai said.
"But Rory still can't go to Harvard," Luke said.
"Are you doubting her?" Lorelai asked him.
"Lorelai, it's February, it takes nine months to have a baby." Lorelai cut Luke short.
"I'm so proud of you Luke, you must have listened in health class or something," Lorelai said sarcastically.
"As I was saying," Luke continued glaring at Lorelai. "She'll have the baby in November."
"She will won't she," Lorelai said looking down. "I didn't think of that, I thought she could still have a baby and I could take care of them while she went to Harvard."
"Maybe you can, but that's for Harvard to decide, and they better know before they send her acceptation letter," Luke said standing up and going over to pour someone some more coffee just as Jess and Rory came downstairs. Rory pulled her mom out of Luke's and they left.
"How'd Luke take it?" Rory asked.
"Bad," Lorelai said, "Jess?"
"Bad," Rory said.
"Rory, we need to tell your grandparents, see if there is still a way for you to go to Harvard and have this baby." Lorelai said.
"Mom, Harvard is out of reach, you know that." Rory said.
"No it's not, my baby is going to Harvard, if she's having a baby or not," Lorelai said. "We're telling your grandparents Friday, weather you like it or not, because they can help us."
"Tell Grandma?" Rory asked. "God, just make her hate Jess more why don't you."
