"Hey," Tristan said, coming up to Rory's locker the next morning.
"Tristan," she said, without really thinking. "I know Saturday is
like, tomorrow," she said.
A smile started to grow on Tristan's face as he figured out
what she was getting at.
"But, there's some ball at the inn where my mom works, and since
she's the manager, and I'm her daughter, I have to go, and I have to
bring a date, and since we're friends I was thinking that maybe you could
go with me. But if you already have plans for tomorrow, since it is
tomorrow, its okay I'll just-"
"Woah, Rory, take a breath," he said. "I'd love to go with you."
he answered.
Rory smiled in relief. "Really?"
"Really. What time should I pick you up?" he asked.
"Seven thirty," she answered.
"Seven thirty it is then," he said, giving her a smile before
disappearing into the crowd.

Jess knocked on the door of the Gilmore house. He was praying
that Rory wasn't home. He couldn't face her. Plus, he was here to see
Lori.
"Jess?" Lorelai said when she came to the door, surprised to
see him.
"Hi Lorelai. Can I talk to Lori for a minute?"
"Sure," Lorelai said, eyeing him suspiciously. "Let me go get
her.
Lorelai went inside and called for Lori. She ran to the door
and was also surprised to see Jess standing there.
"What are you doing here?" she asked him.
"Can we take a walk?" he asked.
"Sure," she said. They started off down the street.
"Rory told me," he said.
"She did? I was going to tell you, you know, but I guess she
got to you first."
"Are you sure its mine?" he asked.
"Positive," she answered.
"Are you going to keep it?" Jess asked, stopping to look at her.
"I'm not sure yet," Lori replied, meeting his eyes. "But I'm
not going to have an abortion if that's what you mean."
They continued walking. "Well, if you decide to keep it, I'll
be a part of the baby's life," Jess offered.
"No, Jess. That's not necessary. After all, the only one who is
at fault for this is me. You don't need to feel guilty or responsible for
my twisted actions."
"But I am Lori. And whether we like it or not, I'm that baby's
father. There's nothing we can do about it. I know what its like to grow
up without a Dad. And it sucks, it really sucks. So, if you decide to
keep the baby, would you please just let me help out?"
Lori saw how desperate he looked. "Fine. But I'm not promising
that I'll keep it," she said.
They walked a while in an awkward silence, not knowing what they
should say to each other.
"Jess, I have to ask you something," she finally said.
"Okay."
"Lorelai's inn is hosting this huge ball to celebrate the
200th birthday of the original owner or something. And the thing is, I
need a date and I was wondering-"
"Wait, you're asking me to take you to this ball?" Jess asked.
Lori nodded. "It does sound kind of ridiculous, doesn't it?"
Jess laughed. "Yah. But listen, if I'm not working that night,
I'll take you."
"Its tomorrow," she said.
Jess cringed. "Just know that I'm doing this for the baby," he
said.
Lori nodded. Even though what he said didn't make much sense,
she got the message that he was in no way seeing this as a date, and
there never would be one between them. He was doing this out of pity,
and he had a sense of duty to both Lori and the baby now.
"Thanks," she said. "Pick me up at seven thirty."
