Author's Note: Sorry for not updating, it's just that I'm so busy but you're in luck! I've just started Spring Break and I'll be spending most of my time writing this story, hopefully I'll write like 15 chapters or something, enjoy this chapter!
* * * Rory nearly dropped the phone when she heard why Paris called. She sat back down on the couch and thought for a minute. "Rory? You there?" Paris asked
"Uh yeah"
"Well give me your thoughts."
"On what?"
"My pregnancy."
"Shocked I mean very shocked."
"Yeah I figured."
"I'm sorry if that wasn't the reaction you were looking for but I really don't know what to say."
"Can I come over?"
"Here?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I had plans but it's okay I guess Jess can just join us."
"Thank you."
"Sure, anything else?"
"Well I'm not that sure if I'm you know, so I was wondering if you can buy me a pregnancy test."
"Me? No, I mean what if people see me buy it? They know I have Jess for a boyfriend and you know people are going to be talking."
"I'll pay you back and just tell them that it's not for you." Paris said
Rory sighed, "Fine."
* * *
As Rory made her way through Doose's she could tell someone was watching her. She finally found herself standing in front of the pregnancy tests and she quickly grabbed one. She sighed and went to the checkout counter.
"Rory Gilmore, you buying one of these?"
"It's not for me Taylor."
"Does your mother know?"
"About what?"
"About the new installment in your family."
"Taylor."
"Aren't you going out with that hoodlum?"
"Yes, and will you just let me pay for it?" Rory said handing Taylor the money. She exited the store and bumped into Dean causing her to drop her bag, and the contents inside of it.
"Sorry." Dean said picking it up
"It's okay I have to go anyway."
* * *
When Rory neared her house she saw Paris sitting on the porch steps. She was carrying some book and by the looks of her appearance it looked like she hadn't had a decent sleep in days. "Okay next time your pregnant you can buy your own test." Rory joked
"I haven't told my parents." Paris said, "I mean they're always busy and have no time for me, I mean would it hurt if they picked up the damn phone and ask me how I am? But then what am I supposed to say? Oh hi mom and dad yes everything's fine it's just that I didn't get into Harvard and my boyfriend got me pregnant."
"What about Jamie?"
"I haven't talked to him in a while, I mean he's been busy. With college and stuff."
Rory and Paris walked in the house; Rory dropped her things and went to the answering machine, hoping that Jess called.
"Hey it's Jess, sorry I haven't called, I promise I'll come and visit you as soon as I'm done with everything at work. Love you." That was the end of the message; Rory deleted it and joined Paris in the living room. "So are you ready?" Rory asked.
"Yeah I'll be right back." Paris said heading for the bathroom. She was gone for a few minutes and finally returned to the living room with the test in hand. "It's pink." Paris said quietly. She started to cry and sat down on the couch next to Rory.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah it turned pink. I can't believe it. I mean being rejected by Harvard is one thing but turning into the Whore of Babylon that is another."
"You aren't the Whore of Babylon okay? And I bet you a ton of other colleges are going to accept you."
"They can't"
"Why not?"
"I only applied for Harvard. I mean I thought it was a sure thing so I didn't want to go to any other colleges."
"Why not you stay here and I'll get some popcorn we'll watch a few movies and my mom will help us out with everything."
"Your mom?"
"Yeah, I mean she's had experience in this department before so she can be a big help."
"I guess you're right."
* * *
Lorelai quietly made her way into the house. She spotted Rory and Paris sleeping on the couch and made her way to the stairs. Rory woke up and headed towards her mom.
"Hey." She said
"Hi honey. What's up?"
They headed towards Lorelai's room to talk. "So, why is Paris here?"
"She's pregnant." Rory got out. Lorelai's eyes widened when she heard what Rory said.
"Oh."
"Yeah so she slept over so maybe you can help us out."
"Sure, I mean she seems like she needs my services."
"Yeah."
"So I guess that our 'We Hate Paris' Club is officially gone?"
"Yeah, it is."
"Darn, I was going to ask Kirk to make shirts for us."
* * *
The next morning Lorelai, Rory and Paris all headed for the diner. "Luke three coffees please!" Lorelai said, she looked at Paris and quickly added, "Better make that two coffees and orange juice."
"So what do you guys want?" Luke said
"Pancakes, eggs, bacon, and coffee!" Rory said.
"Ditto" Lorelai added
"And you?" Luke said turning to Paris.
"My life back."
"Excuse me?" Luke said
"Nothing I want eggs and toast."
"Okay." Luke said.
"So Paris, do your parents know you're here?" Lorelai asked
"My parents don't care where I am."
"Okay." Lorelai said
"I'm going home, you guys can just eat my breakfast. Thanks for everything." Paris said leaving.
"Wow, that is one hell of a confused girl." Lorelai commented.
* * *
"How was your date?" Lorelai asked Luke later that afternoon.
"How'd you know I had a date?" Luke asked
"Miss Patty told me and I was just curious."
"It went well."
"Who was it? Are you back with Nicole?"
"Yeah I am."
"Oh." Lorelai said, looking down.
"What about your date with what's his face."
"Charlie, it was nice we're planning to go out again this weekend."
"You guys seem serious."
"Yeah, I mean at lease we're getting there."
"Nicole and I are starting to get pretty serious now too."
"That's great, with you and Nicole. I'm happy for both of you."
"Same here, with you and um Charlie."
Lorelai seemed uncomfortable with the whole conversation; she got up and headed for the door, when Nicole came in with a smile on her face. "Hey Lorelai nice to see you."
"Hi Nicole, same here."
Nicole headed for the counter and sat down where Lorelai sat before. "So Lorelai do you want more - oh hi Nicole." Luke said.
"I was just wondering if you weren't busy if you wanted to have lunch." Nicole asked
"Sure, I'd love too."
Lorelai felt a shot of pain when he accepted, she knew that they were going to go out again sometime, she just hadn't expected now. She got out of the diner and headed home, the only place that wasn't too crazy as the outside world, sometimes. She passes by Doose's and Taylor came out with a concerned look on his face. "Lorelai, I need to tell you something."
"Um okay Taylor."
"I saw Rory buying a um - certain test."
Lorelai thought for a moment and remembered Paris. "That was for a friend, not her."
"Are you sure?"
"Taylor, what kind of stupid question is that?"
"I was just concerned."
Lorelai left and finally made her way home. She spots Rory working on something for school.
"What's that sweetie?"
"My valedictorian speech. I have to give it to Headmaster Charleston."
"It's long."
"Too long?" Rory said, sounding a little worried she looked at her speech and sighed.
"No, I'm just saying that long as in it's a good long."
"Good, this day had been so stressful."
"Tell me about it."
Lorelai picked up the phone and ordered pizza, they got some videos and began to relax and enjoy some quality mother/daughter time.
* * *
A/N: It's a little long, not extremely long, but not so short. Anyway in my opinion this isn't one of my best chapters, but that's because I really wanted to get this chapter out of the way and start chapter 10. The whole Paris/Pregnancy thing is going to be delayed at lease for like 3 more chapters before I write about it again. Jamie might make an appearance, but don't count on it. The Lane/Dave relationship is hard to write since it's not a major couple in the show. Literati fans, sorry for the lack of Lit scenes it's just that I wanted to make it mostly Java Junkie and Lorelai/Alex and Luke/Nicole but I promise I'll make it up to you guys!
