The 4th of July Emily and Richard's

The family is sitting outside eating traditional 4th of July food.

"Rory you're wearing a coat aren't you hot? It's almost 90 degrees outside."

"No I'm not hot."

"So Lorelai when are you going to admit that you're lying?"

"I'm not going to because I'm not."

"Whatever." Lorelai rushes inside as Emily finishes her sentence. When Lorelai returns Rory takes her aside."

"What?"

"Mom I think I'm going to tell them but really in a really subtle manner."

"Ok, but are you ready to give them an honest answer?"

"I don't know but Mom I too hot to care."

"Ok." Rory walks towards the door.

"I'm going to put my jacket inside I'll be right back."

"Ok."

"Mom I guess you were right she was hot."

"I guess so. I'm glad she went inside to take her jacket off though I was afraid she was going to have a heat stroke." As Emily finishes talking Rory walks out carrying a big bowl of salad . She sits down and then sits the bowl on the table.

"So Rory I see you got hot."

"Yeah I couldn't stand it any more." Rory says as she takes a drink of her tall glass of lemonade.

"So Lorelai why couldn't Luke make it?"

"He had to make food for a town cook out because Sookie is busy with the baby."

"Oh."

"I'll be back I have to pee." Rory says as she gets up. She quickly runs into the house. Leaving Emily dumbfounded.

"Lorelai am I seeing things?"

"I don't know. What did you see?"

"Rory... Rory... Rory..." Just as Emily starts to say something other than Rory Rory walks back out.

"Grandma why are you staring at me?" Rory asks as she sits down even though she knows the answer.

"Rory please stand up."

"Ok." Rory says reluctantly as she slowly stands up.

"Rory please tell me you gained 30 pounds by over eating."

"May I sit down now?"

"Yes but please answer me."

"Well first of all I've only gained 27 pounds and secondly it could partly be because I've been over eating but I think it's mostly because I'm having a baby."

"Please tell me this is some joke you and your mother have concocted to irritate me."

"No it's not grandma."

"Rory how on earth did you get pregnant?"

"Grandma I thought you knew how you get pregnant."

"Rory you know what I mean."

"Look grandma it wasn't something I hoped for and certainly something I didn't do on purpose."

"Well I would hope you didn't do it on purpose."

"Grandma I really don't want to explain the circumstance to you because it's something I am going to have a hard time saying but I want you to know most people would have gone about the situation a different way."

"Rory I still don't get what you're trying to say."

"I have to go to the bathroom I'll explain it when I get back."

"Ok." After Rory leaves Lorelai starts to explain.

"Mom Rory didn't want you to know because she didn't want you to know how it happened but not because she did something she should be ashamed of but because she couldn't control it and she still has a hard time even admitting how it happened to herself."

"Lorelai what are you saying what I think you're saying?"

"I don't know mom what do you think I'm trying to say?"

"Are you telling me she was raped?"

"Yeah I am."

"Now that I know the truth about Rory will you tell me the truth about you?"

"Uh..." Lorelai heads into the house as Rory is walking out."

"Do you still want me to explain?"

"No."

"Good."

"So Rory are you being mean to your mother?"

"How so?"

"Well I have a feeling you know the gender of the baby and you're not telling you're mother."

"Yeah well I thought I could have some fun."

"Will you tell me?"

"Hold on." Rory pokes her head in the house and then comes back out. Then she whispers into her grandma's ear."

"Hey what about me?"

"What about you grandpa?"

"Won't you tell me?"

"No grandma might though."

"No I don't think he needs to know."

"Me neither."

"So Rory just out of curiosity when are you supposed to have this baby?"

"August." Lorelai replies as she comes out of the house."

"When in August?"

"August 6th."

"Oh."

"So we've got to get going."

"Ok."

Lorelai and Rory go back to Stars Hollow to the diner. They arrive cheerfully. As they are eating desert together they start talking.

"I'll be right back I'm going to be sick." Lorelei goes into the bathroom. When she comes out Rory takes her aside.

"Mom grandma knows besides we're out of her presence so you can quit pretending you have morning sickness."

"I would like to but I really can't"

"What do you mean?"

"Rory I am sick."

"What do you mean sick how? Like a cold?"

"No like puking."

"So do you think you're actually pregnant?"

"No."

"Mom don't you find it a little weird?"

"What do you mean?"

"I've been kind of suspicious lately I mean I did notice that you have been going to the bathroom a lot lately."

"You're joking right?"

"No. Mom. Come on just go find out at some point."

"Fine."

"Good."

"But what am I going to tell Luke? How am I going to tell Luke?"

"I don't know you'll figure it out you're Lorelai Gilmore you always do."

"You're right."

"Duh now lets go back out there."

"Ok." Rory walks out and Lorelai follows a few seconds later.

"Lorelai are you ok?"

"Yeah."

"No you're not you've been crying. You are crying."

"Luke I'm fine."

A few minutes later Rory and Lorelai walk out of the diner and over to see Lane.

As soon as Rory arrives at Lanes she trots up the stairs to talk to her while Lorelai stands and talks to Mrs. Kim

"Hey Lane!"

"Hey Rory?"

"What?"

"You look different."

"Oh right."

"Rory are you dressing like that for a reason?"

"What do you mean?"

"Fat like."

"Lane I'm not fat and I'm not pretending to be fat."

"So what are you?"

"Pregnant."

"Like pretending to be?"

"No like for real."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't tell any one except my mom and just today I told my grandparents and Luke."

"Rory!"

"Lane I'm going insane."

"Why?"

"Because I'm supposed to have a baby in a month and two days and I have a slightly suspicious that my mother is pregnant."

"Are you kidding?"

"No."

"So? How are you going to do all this?"

"Lane I have no idea that's why I came to see you I need you to help me I'm freaking out."

"Calm down Rory."

"Hey do you want to go walk around town with me?"

"Why?"

"To see how the town reacts it should be fun."

"Alright." Rory and Lane go downstairs.

"Mom do you want to come with us?"

"To do what?"

"Walk around the town square."

"Yeah lets go."

After the town deals with the initial shock they are very exited and happy for Rory.

Authors Note: In chapter 4 a Gilmore will arrive and Lorelai will find out weather or not she's pregnant. Sorry to keep you hanging.
