DISCLAIMER: Don't own Gilmore Girls so, don't sue. Get the point?

Okay, I found out I had a glitch in the beginning of this chapter so I changed it. Thanks to Nadine for the info on why coffee is not good for pregnant women.

"Coffee?" Rory said groggily, she did not want to be up yet.
"No," Lorelai said firmly.
"Why not?" Rory whined.
"Baby," Lorelai said pointing at Rory's stomach. "And coffee, not good."
"I thought decaf was okay?" Rory whined.
"I think it might be, but no chances," Lorelai said strictly.
"Then what am I supposed to do?" Rory said.
"Here," Lorelai handed her a soda. "Drink this, lots of caffeine." 'Not' She thought to herself
"Great, just what I want this early in the morning, soda," Rory said opening it up and walking towards the door.
"Hey!" Lorelai yelled. "Where are you going?"
"For a walk, I need to clear my head." Rory yelled back opening the door.
"Okay, meet me at Luke's at noon, page me if you can't."
"Okay Mom," Rory said closing the door. She opened it again, "Wait a minute! This soda is caffeine free!"
"Caffeine's not good for you, live with it," Lorelai yelled back. Rory sulked and walked out the door.

Rory walked around town for a while. Everywhere she went people were asking her how she felt and if she was excited, apparently Miss Patty had found out. The worse of all was when she went into Doose's Market. Dean was there.
"Hey Dean," Rory said walking up to him while he was shelving beans. "Hi," Dean said uncomfortably.
"What's up?" Rory asked trying to make conversation.
"Nothing with me, but apparently a lot with you," Dean said coldly.
"So you found out," Rory said, pondering this.
"Yeah I did," Dean said. "You slept with him? I thought you were above that."
"Above what?" Rory asked.
"Never mind," Dean said. "Go back to your boyfriend."
Rory stared at him. Even after they broke up he hadn't been this mean, he'd been mean, but not as mean as he was being now. She quietly walked out of the market and to Luke's. She wasn't supposed to meet Lorelai for about another hour so she said hi to Luke and went upstairs to find Jess.
"Hi Jess," Rory said slipping in. Jess was sitting on the couch and she sat down next to him.
"Hi," he said not looking at her.
"Jess, I'm sorry about everything," Rory said.
He looked at her. "Don't apologize Rory, none of it was your fault, I just got mad. This is all so surprising, I never expected it."
"I know," Rory said. She moved closer to him and they curled up on the couch quietly until Rory broke the silence. "So we're in the same position as my parents now huh?"
"Yeah," Jess said. He was quiet for a little bit thinking. Then, "But we can do one thing different."
"What's that?" Rory asked.
Jess slid off the couch and Rory sat up. He got down on one knee and Rory stared at him, not knowing what to say. Then he said it, "Rory, will you marry me?"
Rory bit her lip.
