The Circle of Lorelai Ch. 12
***
DISCLAIMER: Me not owning Gilmore Girls + You not suing me for using Gilmore Girls = Everyone happy
***
A/N- Okay, some people were a little confused with the name for the baby, it's Lorel as in Laurel but just spelled differently to sorta make more sense with the name Lorelai

Rory sat patiently as Paris walked up to the podium. It was graduation day. Paris was beginning her speech, differently than anyone would have expected, but Rory knew what was happening. Paris had taken her aside and asked if she cared what she would be talking about, and Rory said she didn't.

"I have a friend here at Chilton and she would be attending Harvard with me next year but she's pregnant. She came into Chilton after most of you here and was teased as being Mary, as in Virgin Mary. I can't say I was kind to her and came to her side, because I wasn't. I was mean to her and made it clear to her that she wouldn't ever be top of the class or anything, because I would be there. I befriended her eventually, only to stop being her friend when I thought she'd betrayed me, actually, I did that twice. I was nothing but mean to her for the most part. "By now I bet many of you know whom I'm talking about. You don't know, most likely, that she's pregnant and will be having a baby girl in November. She hid it in fear of getting kicked out of Chilton, knowing that she wouldn't be showing until right before graduation. "I asked her if she regretted having gotten pregnant at such a young age. She told me she really didn't, because the same thing had happened to her mom, and they were the closest mother and daughter pair that she knew of. "I talked to her right before graduation, and I gave her a chance to let me tell you all who she is. "She is someone who is trustful, and helping. She cares for more things besides getting into Harvard, unlike me. She works hard but has fun at the same times. She's Rory Gilmore, and I'm going to have her come up here and say a few words.
Rory stood up and walked shaking to the stage. She had written the short speech in the twelve minutes that Paris had given her.
"Hi everyone. As you all know I'm Rory Gilmore and as you all just found out, I'm pregnant. "I didn't expect to tell almost all of you until Paris came up to me before this and told me what she wanted to say. "Like Paris said, I don't regret the fact that I will be having a baby girl in a few months. And after graduating from Harvard in five years I will be marrying her father. I will then be Rory Mariano, wife of Jess Mariano and mother of a beautiful little girl. And I will only be twenty- three years old. I'm proud of the fact that I will be becoming that, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. "When I told my family that I was pregnant many of them were mad at me and Jess for it. My grandparents still don't seem to have gotten over it, something that still hurts me four months after them telling me that they don't like this. My father hasn't seemed to have much opinion on it but was shocked to hear about it. "Well that's where I ended my speech, seeing Paris only gave me twelve minutes to prepare it. But I'd like to ask you all to congratulate me. Don't give me any sympathy or anything like that, because I'm not mad about it. I'm proud."
Rory stepped down from the stage to a full standing ovation. As she took her seat her peers around her congratulated her and asked her to point out Jess. She pointed him out with as much pride as seemed humanly possible.
The rest of graduation was a blur. After it was over she went to meet her family and Jess wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "I love you."
"I love you too."
