Rory walked down to the mailbox. She was anxiously waiting for her acceptance letter so that she could call Harvard and arrange to wait a year to go, hopefully with no explanation. Before she opened the mailbox Paris was suddenly there. "Hi Paris," Rory said puzzled.

"Hello Rory," Paris said. "I got my letter," she was actually starting to sound normal. "I was accepted."

"Oh my God! That's great!" Rory said. She pulled open the mailbox and pulled out a large letter. It was from Harvard, they had accepted her. She stared at it.

"Rory," Paris said. "That's an acceptance letter, why aren't you jumping around?"

"Paris," Rory said. "I don't know exactly how I'm supposed to tell Harvard."

"Tell Harvard what?" Paris asked. "What do you need to tell Harvard? You're going aren't you?"

"Paris, I'm pregnant," Rory said, she started to cry again.

"Rory, don't cry." Paris said. "I'm not good with crying people, you should know that about me by now, crying people and me are no match."

"Oh, I can't help it." Rory said. "My grandmother came up with this plan to move my tuition back a year and go next year so that I can have my baby and my mom can then take care of him or her, but I'm scared to tell Harvard. Will they want me after that?"

"Come on, we'll go call Harvard, I'll be there with you, I guess that's some help." Paris said leading Rory into the house. They searched the acceptance packet until they found a phone number to call. By now Lorelai had joined them.

"Hello," A voice rang in Rory's ear. "Harvard Acceptance, what is your question?"

"Hello," Rory said shaking. "I'm Lorelai Gilmore and I just received and acceptance letter but I was wondering if it was at all possible to move it to next year due to some personal issues."

"Would you mind stating those issues?" The voice said.

"Um," Rory said. "I'm pregnant."

"We'll call you in a few days to confirm if we change your acceptance to next year."

"Thank you." Rory said hanging up the phone.

"Well, what did they say?" Lorelai asked.

"They'll call me in a few days to confirm if they change my acceptance to next year." Rory said starting to cry again. "It might not happen Mom, it might not happen."

Paris had left and Rory was walking over to Luke's to talk to Jess.

"Rory," Jess said walking up to her as she entered the diner. "Hi."

"Hi Jess," Rory said looking down.

"Hey, is everything alright?" Jess asked.

"I might not get to go to Harvard."

"Did they not accept you?" Jess asked. 'Who wouldn't accept such a smart and beautiful girl?' He thought to himself.

"I did," Rory said. "But I told them over the phone that I was pregnant and I'd like to change it to next year that I go, but I don't know."

"You'll go Rory," Jess said. "They couldn't pass you up." He took her in his arms. "We'll get though this, no matter what."
