"Mom, I don't want to go in," Rory said. They were standing in front of the front door to the Gilmore mansion.

"I know honey, but we've got to tell them," Lorelai said. And figure out if you can still go to Harvard she thought to herself. Rory reached forward and rang the doorbell. Emily Gilmore herself answered the door.

"Hello," She said.

"Hi Mom" Lorelai said.

"Hi Grandma," Rory said looking at her feet.

"Do your shoes interest you Rory?" Emily asked.

"Oh, not really Grandma," Rory said, "I was just thinking."

"About that awful boyfriend of yours I bet," Emily said. "What was his name? Jess right? Awful boy if you ask me, I hope you've had the decency to break up with him."

"No Grandma, we haven't broken up." Rory said.

"Mother," Lorelai said. "Why don't we go to the living room, Rory and I have something to tell you." They walked into the living room, Rory clutching her stomach fearing she would throw up.

"Well what is it you wanted to tell us?" Emily asked.

"Well Mom, this might not sound good to you but." Lorelai paused.

"What?" Emily asked. "What might not sound good to me?"

"I'm pregnant Grandma," Rory said quietly.

"Oh my God! Richard! Richard! Get in here Richard!" Emily started yelling.

"What is it Emily?" Richard asked.

"Rory here seems to have gotten herself pregnant," Emily said in disgust.

"What?" Richard asked. "This must be some sort of joke, not my Rory."

"Yes Richard," Emily snapped, "'your Rory' is pregnant."

"Rory, I thought you would have more sense," Richard said.

"Grandpa," Rory said, "I'm sorry, it's just that. well I love him."

"And I bet you're not going to get married are you?" Emily said.

"He hasn't asked, but no, I don't plan to marry him." Emily cut her off.

"See! You and your mother," Emily said. "You both have no decency to marry the father of your child."

"What I was going to say was yet," Rory said firmly. "I don't plan to marry him yet."

"And I suppose your mother is fine with this, I don't see her screaming at you because of this." Emily said.

"Just because I choose not to express my anger at Rory by yelling doesn't mean I'm not mad at her," Lorelai said calmly.

"Wait a second," Rory said standing up, " You said you weren't angry! You were just lying! My own mother is lying to me that she wasn't angry! I can't believe you!" Rory ran outside grabbing her coat and Lorelai's keys on the way.

"Well I guess you're going to have to stay with us for tonight," Emily Gilmore said calmly.
