"Rory I'm going to find out who did this and I'll kill him."

"Mom I just want to forget about it all together."

"Rory you're pregnant."

"I know but... I ..."

"You what Rory?" Says Lorelai calmly.

"Mom I can't even decide what to eat for breakfast half the time how am I suppose to have a baby?"

"I don't know."

"Mom I'm on the dean's list at Yale I can't have a baby."

"Rory I don't know what to tell you."

"Mom I'm scared."

"I know." Lorelai flashes back to when she first got to hold Rory.

"Mom what am I going to do?"

"Rory do you want a baby?"

"Now?"

"Ever?"

"Yeah of course."

"Rory do you want this baby?"

"I don't know."

"Rory I can't tell you what to do you have to figure it out but whatever you decide I'm there for you 100."

"Well if I do decide to keep the baby how am I going to take care of it? I can't go to school, work and take care of a baby."

"Rory by the time this baby is supposed to be here you'll only have one year of college left. Rory I'll help you however I can."

"Mom I'm going to go to back to school and think and I'll come back when I know."

"Ok."

1 week later Lorelai's

There is a knock on the door. Just by the lightness of the knock Lorelai knows it's Rory and she runs to the door almost falling down the stairs to get there.

"Mom are you ok?"

"Yeah."

"Are you sure because you seem out of breath?"

"I'm fine I was upstairs is all.'

"Oh ok."

"So have you made a decision?"

"Yeah." Lorelai retreats to the living room followed by Rory.

"I'm sitting you can tell me now."

"I want to have this baby, but I need to get a better place to stay."

"I have an idea why don't you move home?"

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Are you a hundred percent sure?"

"Yes."

"Then I accept."

"What made you decide to keep the baby?'

"After I went home I made a doctor's appointment, and when I heard my baby's heart beat I kept thinking to myself that's my baby and that's all I thought about the rest of the day."

"Rory you know people are going to ask questions don't you?"

"Yeah, that's why I'm not going to say anything until people notice and maybe by then I'll be ready to tell them.'

"Rory just because people ask doesn't mean you have to tell them."

"I know."

"Rory you know I will help you any and every way I can right?"

"I know mom."

"Rory there are still things you have to figure out though."

"I know. Mom I want to continue this conversation but I'm starving can we eat."

"Do you want to go to Luke's?"

"Sure."

Within the next 3 weeks Rory moves back in with her mom and finds a job.

December 31st 4:30 P.M. Rory arrives home and finds Lorelai in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal.

"Hey I'm home."

"Good. I'm of tomorrow and the day after do you want me to paint the baby's room?"

"Sure."

"First I need to know what color to paint it."

"Yellow is fine."

"Rory! Why won't you find out if the baby is a girl or a boy?"

"The doctor wrote it down, but I don't really want to know."

"Come on Rory!"

"No because if I tell you you'll paint it that color and then if someone comes over they'll ask why you painted it that color. If you just paint it yellow no one will ask why."

"Rory!"

"Mom I can't let you because when people ask you'll come up with some lame excuse that no one will believe and then they'll be suspicious. I don't want that people are already suspicious about me moving back in."

"Rory people are going to find out eventually. I mean no is going to say anything now if they think you have gained a few pounds but that's only because everyone gains weight around the holidays."

"I know but I want to prolong the misery as long as possible. No one knows but you and I and that's how I want to keep it for at least 2 or 3 more months."

"Rory people are going to put 2 and 2 together eventually."

"I know but if one person finds out then the whole town will know and by the time I know everyone knows it will be al the way to Hartford."

"That's why you don't want any one to know.'

"What do you mean?"

"You don't want your grandparents to find out."

"That's not true."

"Whatever Rory I'll paint the room yellow if you want me too."

"Ok good."

2 months later Emily and Richard Gilmore's house. Lorelai and Rory arrive just in time for dinner. When they walk in the door Emily comes over to hug them immediately.

"I'm so glad to see you it's been so long since you to have been able to make it to dinner."

"Yeah well were glad to be here." Lorelai says as unfake as possible.

The dinner table

"So Rory how is school?"

"Good grandma"

"How is life in general?"

"Fine."

"So Rory why did you decide to move back home?"

"I... I..."

"She just wanted to be at home because she decided living on campus wasn't for her."

"Oh. Rory aren't you hot it's awfully warm to be wearing a sweatshirt." Rory looks down at her oversized Yale sweatshirt.

"I'm fine plus this is my favorite shirt I have it warn to where it's just right."

"Ok. Just as long as you're comfortable."

"I am."

"Good."

"Mom could you help me find my cell phone I think I left it in my purse but I need to find it in case anyone calls Paris said she needed to call me tonight." Rory says giving her mother a look.

"Sure." Lorelai and Rory go into the corridor.

"What?"

"Can we leave grandma is making me really uncomfortable she's asking way to many questions."

"No. I told you people would ask questions eventually."

"I know but I thought I had another month at least."

"Rory you don't your wearing clothes that just barely hid it and people are starting to wonder."

"Ugh. So do I keep lying or should I tell her?"

"I don't know it's up to you. If you don't want her to know don't tell her but if you don't she's going to keep asking questions because that's what she does."

"Alright lets go back in know." Lorelai and Rory head back into the dinning room.

"Did you find your phone?"

"Yeah."

"Good."

"So Rory are you doing well in school?"

"Yeah."

"Good. Rory you seem a little bit antsy tonight is something wrong? Is there a problem? Am I making you uncomfortable."

"Actually grandma you are making me a little bit uncomfortable, but if there's something you want to say just say it."

"Rory I was wondering if there's something you're not telling us."

"Like what?"

"Nothing in particular just something."

"Look if I were or am there's a reason behind it so I would appreciate it if you would quit being nosey."

"Fine I'll try."

"Good." There is silence until they finish their meal.

"It was delicious grandma, but I really have to get home I have tons of stuff I have to do."

"Ok." Emily and Richard walk Rory and Lorelai to the door.

"Drive safely, and don't stay up to late."

"OK grandma goodnight."

"Goodnight." Rory and Lorelai arrive home about ½ an hour later. When they get in the house they both plop down on the couch."

"So when are you going to tell them?"

"Well if grandma keeps bugging me soon I guess but if not I was thinking around July."

"Rory you're having the baby in August."

"I know."

"So what do have to do that's so pressing?"

"Make a list of everything I need to order online before the baby gets here."

"Rory that takes like ½ an hour and plus you told me you weren't going to order that stuff until June or July."

"I'm not."

"Oh."

"I just wanted to leave the mad house."

"Oh I understand. I'm going into the kitchen to make some coffee do you want some? Oh that's right you can't."

"That was mean you did that on purpose."

"I did but it's so fun to torment you."

"I know."

"So when are you going to tell everyone else?"

"Go."

"I'm going." When Lorelai comes back from the kitchen Rory is asleep with her head on the notepad. Lorelai starts to cover her up.

"I'm not asleep just resting my eyes."

"Good. If you want I'll go shopping out of town and I'll just get unmarked boxes. How does that sound?"

"Good except I want to go with you."

"Fine."

"I have the day off tomorrow."

"Good me too. It'll be a Gilmore shopping spree."

"Mom"

"Ok not a shopping spree just a shopping trip."

"Ok."

"Rory promise me you'll let me buy you some maternity clothes."

"Why? I'm not going to wear them."

"By June you'll be begging for them."

"Fine but only a few outfits."

"Ok."

The next day as Rory and Lorelai are coming out of the Maternity Shop in the mall in Hartford they hear a painfully familiar voice.

"Rory! Lorelai!"

"Just keep walking" Lorelai mutters to Rory.

"Oh look a bathroom we can hide out."

"Good idea." But it was to late they had been caught Emily was hot on their trail.

"Scratch that go to the car."

"Ok." Just as they turned around and headed to the exit Emily grabbed them from behind.

"Hi girls."

"Hi Mom."

"Hi grandma."

"Why were you to in a maternity store?"

"One of our friends asked us to pick up some stuff."

"That's a lame excuse Lorelai."

"It's the truth."

"No it's not but I'd certainly like to hear it."

"Grandma..."

"Mom I'm pregnant."

"What?"

"Yeah well I've got to go." Emily was to shocked to say anything. So Rory and Lorelai got in the car with all of the bags and boxes and headed home.

"Mom. You lied to her. She's going to find out."

"So... what it will at least buy you some time to think about how you want to tell her."

"Mom you still shouldn't have lied"

"I know, but I really didn't."

"Mom come on."

"Ok well I did but I had you going for a minute didn't I."

"Maybe for ½ a second"

"Uh huh."

"I saw the look."

"Yeah, Yeah."

"This only buys you a little bit of time."

"I know but when I tell her then I'll have to tell everyone else too."

"Not if she keeps her mouth shut."

"Look I'll act pregnant until you're ready to tell her."

"You would do that for me?"

"Yeah."

Authors note: For chapter 3 you'll be shocked at what I have planned.
