Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls....tear Sadly, all I can do is
borrow them...... for now! Muahahahahaha!!!
A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I've been really sick. On Tuesday, I couldn't even get out of bed! I feel much better today, so I feel inspired to write about the Rory and Lorelai's torturous evening at the Gilmore mansion!
Chapter 13: The Wrath of Emily
The next morning, Lorelai and Rory awoke in the same position they had fallen asleep in. They stretched and decided to get ready before heading over to Luke's. After they showered and dressed, they started the short walk to their source of food.
As they walked through the town, everyone stared at Rory. No one knew she was pregnant, yet, but they did know she had disappeared without a word to Lorelai a couple of weeks before. Miss Patty and Babette were trying to get some information out of the whole ordeal, but hadn't had any luck so far.
Rory and Lorelai walked into the diner, and everyone stopped talking and looked at the newcomers. Jess pretended not to notice everyone's eyes on him as he greeted Rory with a kiss. He took her hand and led her upstairs to the apartment so that they could talk. He hadn't seen her since her mild meltdown the night before, and he needed to know she was okay.
"Are you feeling better?" he asked her as soon as they had closed the door behind them.
Rory smiled at how sweet Jess had been to her lately, "I'm fine. Mom's okay with everything now, and she's being really supportive of all of this."
Jess leaned over and kissed Rory tenderly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned his kiss with a little more passion. He enclosed her with his arms and put his hands on the small of her back. They hadn't had much time for themselves the past week since they were both in the hospital.
Luke came upstairs to make sure Jess was following the previously instated rules he had laid the night before. He opened the door, but Jess and Rory didn't pull away. Their arms were wrapped around each other, and Rory's head was resting on Jess' shoulder. His face was buried in her hair. They were standing in the living room holding each other like their lives depended on it. Luke shut the door because it was obvious he hadn't been heard.
Lorelai was draining the remains of her coffee when Luke returned from upstairs. She raised her eyebrows at him, which was her way of asking how the lovebirds were.
"They're fine," he replied gruffly, "I think they need some time to themselves."
"Yeah," Lorelai said softly, "They really love each other, don't they."
"They really do," Luke said with a smile.
A few minutes later, Rory and Jess walked downstairs hand in hand and walked to a table in the corner. Luke and Lorelai watched as Rory begged for coffee, but Jess refused. Lorelai couldn't help but think he would take care of her little girl; the other voice said she wasn't ready for someone else to take care of her baby.
Jess asked Luke for the day off, which Luke granted him because he knew Jess wanted to be with Rory. Lorelai stayed in the diner and talked to Luke, while Rory and Jess walked down to the bridge. They spent the day reading to each other and discussing all of their favorite books like they did before everything turned upside down. Rory eventually fell asleep with her head on Jess' lap and Jess stopped reading to stare at his beautiful girlfriend, hopefully his soon to be bride.
-------------------------------------
That night at seven o'clock sharp, Lorelai and Rory rang the doorbell of the Gilmore's home. Jess and Luke were standing silently behind them. It had taken two hours for Emily to finally agree to allow Luke and Jess to come as well. Emily was puzzled at why it was so important that they were their, but she decided to play along and find out.
A brand new maid answered the door and welcomed them into the extravagant mansion. They handed the young woman their coats, and walked into the foyer. Emily walked downstairs and greeted the four. Jess squeezed Rory's hand as they walked into the living room, which didn't go unnoticed by Emily.
"Richard's working late at the office tonight, so he won't be joining us until after dinner," Emily explained.
Everyone just looked at each other tensely. They didn't know what to say, and they knew Emily could sense the thick tension in the room. Emily glanced around at her guests a little concerned about what could possibly be going on. First, Lorelai begs for the diner man and his punk nephew to come over. Now, no one is saying a word and that boy keeps stroking Rory's hand.
Finally, Emily is fed up and decides to speak up, "Alright! What is going on here? You have hardly said two words since the four of you arrived."
Rory answered her with a shaking voice, "Grandma... I sort of wanted to tell you and Grandpa together."
"Tell us what ex..." Emily started, but was cut off by Richard coming in.
Rory's stomach was churning at the thought of telling her grandparents, whom she admired so much, that she was pregnant. Richard entering the room was the last straw, and she ran out of the room with one hand over her mouth and the other on her stomach. Emily was appalled at this, and noticed with distaste that no one seemed surprised. Her disapproval increased further when Jess followed Rory to the bathroom.
"What's the matter with Rory?" Richard asked with surprise at his grand daughter's actions.
Lorelai looked uncomfortably at her parents and couldn't help but get a feeling of deja vu from this whole situation. This was the room that she told her parents about the existence of Rory, and now she was here doing the same thing with Rory. After Lorelai snapped back to reality, she realized her father had asked her a question.
"Oh... uh... Rory's not feeling well," she answered uncertainly.
Emily looked at Lorelai with a disdainful glare, "Lorelai, why would you let her out of the house if she's ill! Good heavens, sometimes I don't know what goes through your head."
Before Lorelai had a chance to respond, a pale-looking Rory returned with a serious Jess behind her rubbing her back. Richard and Emily looked at the two returning, and they knew that something was wrong. There had to be a reason for them to come when Rory was sick, especially with extra guests.
Finally, Rory spoke up, "Grandma, Grandpa. This isn't easy for me to tell you, because of everything that I have planned. I'm... pregnant."
Richard and Emily froze in their spots. Emily's facial expression was unreadable, and Richard looked like someone had just hit him with a bus. Neither one spoke for what seemed like hours, but in reality was only a few minutes. Lorelai couldn't believe Rory had just blurted it out like that, she guessed it was just one more thing they had in common.
Emily found her voice, and she put it to good use, "I told you! I told you, you were going to lose her just like I lost you! Did you listen to me? NO! You let her go out with that... that boy!"
Rory was shocked! Lorelai had nothing to do with this. This was Rory and Jess' decision, and it was their problem alone. Emily was yelling and screaming at Lorelai, and she hadn't said one word to Rory. Rory couldn't take it anymore, and she burst into tears.
"Stop it!" she yelled, "Don't yell at her! Yell at me; this is my fault, Mom had nothing to do with it! She didn't choose for me to get pregnant, it was the last thing she wanted, so scream and shout all you want to at me!" she sobbed.
Richard hadn't said a word the entire time. He couldn't believe that the "savior of the Gilmore clan" had committed the same mistake her mother had. Rory was probably not going to Yale. She probably would never achieve her goals, all because of Jess!
"You're not going to Yale, are you?" he asked her.
"What?" she asked taken aback from the bluntness of his question.
"Yale... you can't go anymore because your pregnant. You're life has been destroyed by HIM!" Richard repeated with anger rising in his voice.
Rory found herself getting upset all over again, "Don't you dare blame all of this on Jess! I love him, and we're having a baby together whether you like it or not! I will go to Yale, I'm just going to take a year off before I go!"
Jess looked at the woman he loved defending him, when he really deserved to be yelled at. He had gotten her pregnant, and it was his fault. He realized Rory had started shaking, and he didn't think it was a good idea for her to be their. He walked over to her and guided her towards the door. Rory didn't even try stopping him, because she felt like she was going to get sick again.
Luke and Lorelai were in shock after the whole thing had unfolded in front of their eyes. They followed Rory and Jess to the car. When they got in, they saw that Rory was laying down in the back seat with her head buried in Jess' lap. He was rubbing her stomach softly and stroking her hair. Luke decided to drive because Lorelai was still angry with what her parents had done.
No one said a word to Emily or Richard as they were leaving. Richard and Emily went to bed, but neither of them slept a wink. They couldn't figure out how this had happened. One minute they're about to be the proud grandparents of a Yale student, and the next they find out she's not going because she's going to have a baby with her deadbeat boyfriend. Friday night was terrible for all involved.
