Chapter 7: And Then There Was Light
And then there was light as Rory cracked her eyes in the white, sterilized room. Sunlight flooded through the window, as well as florescent lights that shown down from the ceiling. Rory's head was killing her, and her whole body ached. She groaned as she tried to sit up.
"Woah," said a male voice, "take it easy Rory."
"Huh," Rory mumbled, confused.
Wait I know that voice! Rory's head swam as she tried to put a face to the mysterious voice. She finally gave up, and let the darkness envelope her once again. The man sighed in frustration, and went back to reading his magazine.
Jess awoke in agony. His leg felt like someone had been stabbing him with knives for the past hour. He could barely breathe, because some idiot had wrapped his ribs too tightly. He couldn't even sit up. He tried to process what happened, but only one thing came to his head Rory.
Rory regained consciousness and she felt a little better. Her head didn't pound like it had earlier, and she could think straight. She opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. An ivy was in her left arm, and she was hooked up to several other machines. A chair was pulled beside her bed, but she couldn't figure out who could be visiting her. Then she remembered! That voice! Oh my God! She knew who was in her room, and she didn't want to talk to him.
Jess had fallen back asleep and he woke up again, he figured they must be giving him some drugs to keep him asleep. This time, however, he realized he wasn't alone. Luke was sitting in the chair next to him reading a magazine. Jess quickly shut his eyes again, but he knew he had to talk to Luke to find out if Rory was okay.
"Luke," Jess said groggily, "Is she okay?"
Luke was a little surprised that he was awake, and even more surprised that the first thing that came to his mind was Rory.
"Jess! You're awake!" Luke exclaimed.
"Yeah, now please tell me Rory's okay," Jess said pleading to Luke with his eyes.
"Oh, well the doctors say she will be fine, but she gave us quite a scare," Luke replied.
Jess sighed in relief, then laid his head back down and focused on breathing. Luke didn't know how to talk to Jess, so he decided just to come right out and say it.
"Jess, why didn't you tell me you got Rory pregnant?" he asked with disappointment in his voice.
Jess' eyes got huge and he looked at Luke.
"Wh...what do you mean?" he stammered, "Rory's pregnant! Is she okay, does she know?"
"Wait a second. You didn't know?" Luke asked surprised.
"No! Oh my God, Rory must be terrified right now," Jess groaned.
Luke couldn't believe this was the same Jess that had left Stars Hollow two months ago. He wasn't worried for himself, he was worried for Rory.
Lorelai walked into her daughter's room. She had to tell Rory about the baby. Rory's eyes were open, and as soon as she saw Lorelai she looked away.
"Hey kiddo," Lorelai said lightly, "how are you feeling?"
"Horrible," Rory replied dryly.
So far this wasn't going to well. Lorelai knew she'd chicken out if she didn't say it right then.
"Rory, honey," she started, "You're pregnant."
Rory sighed, and took a deep breath. Before the accident, she found her unopened box of tampons. She figured she might be pregnant. Then the truck came.
"I thought I might have been," Rory replied.
"Is that why you left," Lorelai asked.
"No, I didn't think about it until right before the accident," she answered.
"We need to talk about this, but we can wait until we get home," Lorelai told her.
All of the emotion was finally too much for Rory.
"Mom, I'm pregnant," she sobbed.
Rory broke down and cried. Lorelai held her and rocked her gently not knowing what to do to make her daughter feel better. They cried together for what seemed like hours, until exhaustion finally took over them. They sniffled throughout the night. When the sun started to come up, they were ready to face whatever came their way. And then there was light.
