Jess gently led Rory upstairs. He couldn't help but notice how
much he had missed the feel of her in his arms.
They took seats at the table, and Jess poured each of them a soda.
"Rory? Are you okay?" he asked. She didn't reply. "Rory, you're
scaring me. Is something wrong?"
"She's pregnant," she said softly, shaking her head. "I can't
believe she's actually pregnant."
"Who?"
"Lori," she answered, her eyes slowly lifting from the table to
meet his. He took in a sharp breath.
"Lori?" he repeated.
"And guess what?" Jess didn't reply. "You're the daddy."
Rory broke into another round of tears.
"Can I explain to you?" he asked earnestly.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't want to hurt you, Ror. It was the biggest mistake of
my life. You have to believe me. I haven't been able to forgive myself
or even get a decent nights sleep since it happened. I feel so guilty."
"You loved me," she said simply.
"I still do," he answered.
"Don't. Jess, stop. You got my sister pregnant without even
knowing it was her. If you really loved me like you always said you did,
you would have known the difference. I don't even know why I came here."
Rory got up and pushed the chair into the table noisily. She ran down
the stairs and out the door without Jess even attempting to follow her.
After all, Rory was absolutely right, and Jess had nothing left
to say.

"Rory? You home? I have pizza!" Lorelai called out, kicking
the door closed with her foot.
"In here," she called from her room. Lori had disappeared by
the time Rory had returned from Jess'. It had been hours since then,
and Rory had managed to pull herself together enough so that her mom
wouldn't suspect anything unusual. After all, it was Lori's job to tell
her mom, not Rory's.
Rory walked out of her room and joined her mom at the kitchen
table, grabbing paper plates and napkins as she did so.
"So, I have some news," Lorelai said as she pulled a piece of
pizza out of the box.
"Ooh! What is it?" Rory asked.
"Well, the inn is having a ball..."
"Go on," Rory prompted.
"And I'm supposed to bring you and Lori."
"Okay, when is it?" Rory asked.
"Saturday."
"Saturday! That's like, in two days!"
"I know, I know."
"How long have you known about this?" Rory asked her mother.
"Three months," Lorelai answered bracing herself for the little
lecture she would receive from her daughter.
"Three months and you're telling me now?" she asked, shaking
her head at her absent minded mother.
"Well, its not like you're doing anything!"
"You don't know that," Rory answered. "I happen to have a very
important date on Saturday."
"With who?"
"Ben Affleck," she answered.
"Ben's engaged, and unless you want to cause the breakup of
the millennium, than I suggest breaking the date."
"Fine," she said, pretending to pout.
"Any way, you'll need a date for the ball, and I think Ben's
just a little bid too old-"
"I'll need a what?" Rory cried.
"Date," her mother answered.
"You're joking," Lorelai shook her head no. "You expect me to
whip up a date with the snap of my fingers by Saturday? I'm not Sabrina!"
"She wiggles her nose stupid," Lorelai answered.
"That's Samantha from Bewitched. Wow, you really need to catch
up on your supernatural TV shows."
"I thought supernatural was ghosts and stuff," Lorelai said.
"Same difference," Rory answered, taking a bite of her pizza.
"Uh uh. No its not. And you should know that Miss Yale."
And so the little banter continued. To Lorelai, Rory seemed
carefree and happy as usual. But inside, Rory was all mixed up over
Jess, Lori, and now she had to find a date for the ball, something that
wasn't going to be very easy.
