Chapter 14: Torches and Pitchforks

Luke dropped Rory and Lorelai off at the Gilmore House, and Jess carried Rory into the house. The entire ordeal had exhausted her and she had fallen asleep in his arms. Luke and Lorelai stayed outside to give the couple some time to themselves.

As soon as the door shut behind Jess, Lorelai spoke. "Thank you for going," she stated.

"I'd do anything for you, Lorelai," Luke replied with a smile.

They sat in a comfortable silence until Lorelai suddenly got the urge to kiss Luke. She didn't know why, but she suspected it was because of how great he had been through the past few months. He had really opened up to her, and she really appreciated that.

Lorelai leaned in, and Luke could feel her breath on his face. Her lips grazed against his lightly, and he was surprised for a second; he returned her kiss and relief spread through her veins. Luke decided to add more passion into it and he ran his tongue along her lips. She opened her mouth and he slid his tongue skillfully into it. They continued making out for several minutes, unaware of the prying eyes through the window.

While Lorelai and Luke were outside, Jess had carried Rory into her bedroom. She was in nice clothes, which he knew couldn't possibly be comfortable; he decided to get her pajamas on, so she could get a good night's sleep. He took her black high heels off, first. Then, he slid her skirt off and put her pajama pants on. Jess took her shirt off, followed by her bra. He couldn't resist the urge to run a finger between her breasts. He didn't know how long he had before Lorelai would come in, though, so he proceeded in putting her matching top on.

Somehow, Rory had slept through all of this and her eyes remained closed tight. Jess tucked her under the covers, but as he leaned in to kiss her goodnight something caught his eye. He couldn't believe his eyes! Luke and Lorelai were standing on the front lawn making out. Jess wished that Rory was awake to see this, but since she wasn't he decided to leave her a note. He quickly scribbled down that he had something to tell her about and, and that he loved her. He kissed her and left the note under her pillow, so she'd be sure to get it when she woke up.

Before he opened the door, he made sure to make a lot of noise. Jess wanted to have a little bit of fun with them before he told them he saw the make out session. As soon as he walked outside he saw two flushed and guilty faces staring at him. He pretended not to notice, but as he and Luke started the short walk to the diner, he couldn't help saying a little quip.

"Is it hot out here?" he asked, referring to their red faces.

If it was possible, Lorelai turned an even deeper shade of red as she escaped into her house. She checked on Rory before she went to bed, and that's when she noticed that her daughter was no longer clothed in her dinner clothes. Lorelai rolled her eyes at Jess' cleverness before she headed up the stairs for a night of sweet dreams, about Luke.

--------------------------------

Saturday morning started off as usual. The Gilmore girls got dressed and headed off to Luke's. Lorelai was putting finishing touches on her makeup when Rory found the note under her pillow. She had no idea what Jess needed to talk to her about, but she didn't want to worry about it because she would find out soon enough.

The girls walked down the street and into the diner. Jess was behind the counter with Luke and Rory grinned when she saw him. He practically leaped around the counter to give her a good morning kiss. Then he grabbed her hand and pulled her up the stairs. Rory was puzzled at how mysterious Jess was being. First, he left that note under her pillow; now, he is dragging her upstairs with a goofy look on his face.

As soon as they reached the apartment, Jess closed the door behind them and stared at her with a mischievous gleam in his eye. He proceeded to tell Rory about the little "show" Luke and Lorelai put on the night before. Rory was surprised, to say the least, but she was happy that they had finally accepted that they were in love with each other. She started laughing at the absurdity of it all. An awful night had actually ended well for her mother.

Lorelai hadn't even been able to say a word to Luke before her cell rang. He didn't even remind her of the sign when she picked up. After a few seconds, he realized it was her mother and he decided to bail her out. She shot him an appreciative look when he called out that there weren't any cell phones allowed. Jess and Rory came downstairs after that and they said they were going down to the bridge for a little while.

----------------------------------

At the bridge, Jess and Rory sat staring at the water for a while. They decided to just enjoy each other's company for a while before Rory spoke.

"We're having a baby, Jess" she said as if she had just found out.

Jess looked at her funny, but replied, "I know, Rory."

Rory shook her head violently, "No! I mean, I'm pregnant! I'm going to g...give birth in a few months! I'm going to get fat! To top it all off, after the whole ordeal there will be an actual baby! A human being that will depend on us for everything. I don't know if we can do it."

"It's okay, I know we can. We're adults, Rory," Jess replied calmly, even though in his head he was freaking out.

"It doesn't matter! I'm not ready to be a mother," Rory exclaimed, "I can't do this all by myself."

Jess looked at her a little hurt. What did she mean by herself! He was going to be there the whole time, and if he had it his way they would be married soon. He decided to let what she said go and he just opened his arms for her to crawl into. What neither of them knew was that Babette and Murray were standing behind some bushes listening to every word Rory said.

Within hours the entire town knew Rory was pregnant, and that Jess was definitely the father. Babette also thought that by the way Rory was talking, the little punk was going to leave her. The whole town was in a buzz over this information. They had been trying to figure out what exactly had taken place the week before. Rory had disappeared and no one knew exactly what happened.

Rory and Jess had spent the rest of the afternoon reading on the bridge. He had brought Oliver Twist, which was their favorite book. After they had read several chapters, they decided to head to Luke's to get something to eat. When they walked through the town, Jess was getting glares and dirty looks from everyone they passed. Then, Rory was getting sympathetic look.

Confused, the two walked by a street where they heard Babette telling a few people what she had heard. Rory's eyes went wide, and her face turned about 3 shades whiter. Babette turned around at that instance and saw who was standing behind her.

"Aw, doll I'm so sorry," she said to Rory, "and how dare you get this sweet girl pregnant!"

Most of the town had gathered around Rory and Jess, all of them expecting Jess to answer! He looked around a little uncomfortable, hoping they didn't bring out any torches and pitchforks, but in this town he wouldn't be surprised. He started to say something, but Rory cut him off.

"It's not his fault," she started, but was cut off with the uncontrollable urge to vomit.

She ran into Luke's and into the bathroom as fast as she could. Jess ran after her, because he knew she needed help, and he wanted to get away from the angry mob. As soon as he raced into the diner, Luke pointed up the stairs.

"She's in the bathroom," he stated.

Jess hurried up the stairs and found Rory sitting on the bathroom floor with her head by the toilet. He crouched down next to her and brushed his hand against her cheek. Without a word, he got a wash cloth out and rinsed it with cold water. He washed Rory's face off with it while she stared miserably at him.

"I guess it is better that they know," she informed him.

"Yeah, now we don't have to worry about telling them all," he said while he lightly blotted Rory's brow with the cloth.

Tears escaped her blue eyes and fell down her porcelain skin. He looked as sadness filled every feature in her face. He couldn't stand the fact that he had caused her even more tears. Jess felt that he had already caused her too much pain, and he couldn't stand it. He wanted to make this day special for Rory, so he came up with a plan.

"I have an idea," he began, "I'm going to take you home, and you can get some rest, and do whatever you want to until dinner. Then, I'm coming over to make you something light for your stomach."

A smile lit up Rory's gorgeous face, and she quickly dried her tears. She hugged him around the neck and he returned the hug with just as much passion. Jess helped her stand up and when she looked like she might fall; he scooped her into his arms and carried her down the stairs. At the bottom, he put her down and they strolled to the Gilmore House.

Jess lightly kissed Rory, which reassured her that everything would be okay. He walked back to the diner to prepare for that evening. On his return journey, he got nasty looks from everyone and speechless gazes from others. He saw Taylor come out of Doose's with a rake. In Jess' eyes, that was close enough to a pitchfork to make him run!

I hope you enjoyed that! In the next chapter, Jess proposes to Rory, or does he? Hehe stay tuned. I discovered a secret, too..... If you review this story Jess will become your own personal sex slave! Give it a try
