Rory and Dean broke up, she's going out with Jess, and the kiss at the piano did happen. Everything more or less happened, and Luke and Lorelai are married with a seven year old girl, Stephanie, and a five year old boy, Daniel.

Summary: Some secrets are better off kept, some you should tell. Bad summary. Trory.

Winter break passed and school went back into session bringing surprises. Rory walked into school wearing new clothes from a shopping spree with Ashlee. Wearing tight jeans which tied up the sides and a dark purple long- sleeved shirt. She looked a little like her old self, but still felt totally different. She saw Ashlee sipping hot chocolate and waiting for Rory by her locker.

'Hey.' Ashlee said hanging the cup to Rory. Rory took a sip and handed it back.

'Thanks. God, it's SO cold out!' Rory said. She took her books out and they walked to homeroom.

'Miss. Gilmore. There's someone in the office to see you.'

'Oh okay.' Rory shrugged and walked to the office.

'Hey Mrs. Carol.'

'Hi, Mr. Floyd will be out in a minute.'

'Okay.' Rory sat down and waited.

'Rory, someone is here. Please come into my office.' She followed MR. Floyd and saw her mom sitting there.

'Mom?'

'I'll leave you too alone.'

'I'm taking you home.' She said standing up after the man had left.

'No, your not!' Rory said stepping back.

'I am your mother and you will do as I say!'

'Jake took me in!! He too ownership of me, something that took you over three months to do!'

'Rory, Come on!'

'No! My life is going great! I have friends here and people who care avout me!'

'What about Stars Hollow? The friend you used to call Lane? Remember her? Or what about me or Luke?'

"Don't be stupid! Of course I remember them, but it's different here! The people are what I wanna be.'

'They've tricked you.'

'No, you trivked me! Now I'm done with it! I have class.' Rory said before walking out of the office. Ashlee was waiting for her.

'My mom.'

'Ouch.'

'I know.'

'So she wanted you to go home, and you turned her down?'

'Yea, if she cant except me like this, then I cant help it.'

'Not to get involved or anything but your mom is a psycho bitch!'

'She hasn't always been one.'

'So now she's an overly compulsive mother with bad habits?'

'Sorta.' They turned into the classroom. He mother watched her from far away careful not to let Rory see her. She had watched Rory for a week and she still never saw her with the green-eyed brown-haired hunk. It was a week after school had resumed. On Monday she saw her daughter awfully close to a boy, but HE was blond and blue eyed, and the same height as the boy in Hartford. She HAD been turned into a hooker!!

Rory walked up to Tristan's locker wrapping her sweatshirt around her waist. She was wearing a semi-see through white shirt with a pink bra and black overall pants with one strap undone. She wrapped her arms around Tristan's waist. Happy Birthday, Baby.' She whispered in his ear. He turned around and gave Rory a light kiss before pulling her into a hig.

'Thanks.' They came apart and kissed again. They turned still kissing and Tristan guided her to the lockers pushing her up against them. Lorelai looked in shock.

'Get off her' Lorelai yelled. The two separated to see Lorelai's mad face staring back at them not even five feet away.

'Mom, what are you doing here?' Rory asked not blushing. She was to mad to blush.

'I need to bring you home. Forget your clothes, you're going into a nunnery.'

'Were you following me? You're a stalker!'

'I just want what's best for you and having random flings is not what's best for you!' she said directed her statement to Tristan.

'Best for you or best for me? Just so you know, He's the one I was with in the store. I also know that you found out that me and Luke were talking to each other. I do, but god, can you just not see how happy I am here? You cant force yourself to not see it cause I know you see it and things are going great for me! I'm not getting straight A's but I don't care, and I'm not perfect anymore but I don't care! This is the life I've always wanted!'

'Lorelai!' A male voice called. They looked up to see Luke walking quickly towards them.

What are you doinf here?' Lorelai asked.

'Taking you home. You obviously changed your mind quickly because wasn't it yesterday that you were telling me she was happy?'

'She belongs to ME!' Lorelai cried.

'She may belong to you, but she doesn't have to live with you.' Said giving Rory a large golden envelope. Rory knew what was inside and she smiled. She remembered about a month ago, she had mailed him forms asking him to sign so she didn't have to come back home.

'Bye mom.' She said. Tristan walked away with her.

'Wait! Those are nothing without my signature!' Lorelai said.

'You signed them.' Luke said. Both Luke's and Lorelei's signature were on it.

I must've been drunk!'

'NO you weren't. It was the day Andy went to CeCe;s house. Lorelai thought, then she remembered she had.

'Come on.' Luke brought her back home to Stars Hollow.

'So, Mary, how do you feel?'

'I'm actually happy. She agreed with it!'

'As long as your happy. A few days had passed making it Thursday. Rory came into school. Tristan and Rory barely ever came into school together anymore. Tristan had sports practice really early and Rory liked to sleep in. Royr walked to her locjer. Ashlee wasn't there.

'Ashlee?' Rory asked thinking maybe she was hiding but no one answered. She gave up, maybe she was running late. Rory headed to bathroom and finished. She washed her hands and turned off the water. She heard a gasp of air from a stall. They must've been there the whole time. No one came in or out since she went in. She listened carefully and went in the direction of the soft crying.

'Who's in here?' Rory asked gently.

'Rory, is that you?' a voice asked.

'Ashlee?' she pushed the door open and saw her blond friend in a ball on the toilet seat.

'Oh Ash! What's wrong?' Rory asked kneeling in front of her. Ashlee lifted her head all the way. Her eyes were red and puffy and her cheeks were tear stained.

'You cant tell anyone! Not even Tristan and especially Quinn.'

'Course, what's wrong?'

'Quinn and I did it over break.'

'Yea, but we all knew you were. You've been doing it since like the summer.'

'Yea, but I'm late!'

'Oh god.' Rory's face went pale. She wrapped her arms around her friend. Ashlee started to cry again and Rory felt Ashlee's body chake in her arms.

'What am I gonna do? I'm only 17!'

'I know. Okay, let's think about his. After school meet me at my place and we can do a home test okay?'

'Okay.' She breathed out.

'You wanna go to class?'

'Yea, I have to. Lemme just clean myself up.' She stood up and flattened her clothes with her hands. Rory walked out if the stall followed by Ashlee. Rory took out some of her makeup and started to add and redo Ashlee's makeup. When she finished she allowed Ashlee to look at herself in the mirror.

'Thanks.' She said softly.

'Sure.' Rory gave her a hug. They walked out of the bathroom and Ashlee put sunglasses on. They walked to their first period class since they missed homeroom.

'Miss. Gilmore, Miss. Gallagher, you're late.' Rory cringed at the word late and noticed Ashlee take a sharp breath in and let a choppy one out. They took their seats. Rory hadn't really seen Ashlee after that class.

'Hey Rory, what's up with Ashlee? This morning she was ignoring me.'

'Yea, she's trying to figure something out. Just give her space for right now, and no, I don't know where she is.'

'Okay.' Quinn said looking down. He walked away slowly. The day went really slowly and she finally was able to go home—home in New York to her new loft. She bought the test for Ashlee on the way home and she saw Ashlee sitting in front of her door when she returned.

'Hey where were you?'

'I had to know Rory. I'm sorry. I went to the clinic and they did a test. About five minutes ago, I got here and they called.'

'So?'

'I'm not!!' Ashlee said happily. Rory hugged her friend.

'Yay!!'

'Oh, you bought it.' Ashlee said looking at the drug store bag.

'It's okay. I'll just return it tomorrow. At least you're not pregnant!'

'Yea. Well since I'm here I'll stay for a few minutes.'

'Sure.' Rory opened the door and stepped inside. She shut it after Ashlee.

'I can't believe you live her! It's amazing!'

'I know.' Rory said smiling. The loft was huge and it five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The walls were painted calm colors and it smelled new. The kitchen was a nice size and there was a living room and hallways.

'So are you gonna tell Quinn?' Rory asked.

'Heck, no!' Ashlee said. They both laughed.

'Look, I should get some homework done, but you're welcome to stay if you want.'

'I'll stay for a minute longer.'

'Okay, just wait lemme hide this.' Rory went into her bathroom and picked up a dirty jacket and put it under it and threw away the crinkly plastic bag.

'It's hidden.'

'Kay, thanks for everything even though I didn't wait.'

'Hey Ash, don't worry about it!'

'Kay, the lady said I came on a good day and a good time. Two minutes after I got there, there was last minute cancellation.'

'Why is that so good?'

'Cause they have a one week waiting list with appointments back to back.'

'Jesus.'

'Yea, I know. Must be the New Years crowd.'

'Seriously!'

'Okay, well I'll let you do your work. I should get home and erase the message from the principal before my parents hear it.'

'Kay.' Rory said waving goodbye and then went to do her homework. Friday was boring, but it luckily went quickly. Jake had rented a movie for them all to watch. The three got onto the sofa and watched the movie. When it was over, Rory put in Willy Wonka.

'Tristan, you can watch it, I'm gonna straighten up for tomorrow.'

'You'd rather clean then watch TV?'

'TV, no, Willy Wonka, yes.' They all laughed and Jake left to straighten up. He spent half of the movie cleaning up the public areas and then went into Rory's bathroom since she never had anything bad in there and she had given him permission when they moved in. He picked up the few pieces of laundry on the floor, and picked up the jacket. He didn't notice the test until he kicked it and he looked down to see what he hit. He was very surprised to see the test in Rory's bathroom. A pregnancy test. Great. He took it in his hand and leaned into the hallway.

'Hey Rory, I have a question about one of your CD's.'

'Ask me later!'

'Rory.'

'Fine.' She got up unwillingly and walked to her bedroom. She entered and jake shut the door after she got in.

'What CD?'

'It's not a CD.'

'Oh?'

'I found this.' He said showing her the wrapped test.

'Oh.' Was all she could say as her face paled slightly.

'Have you taken it yet?'

'No, it's not mine. It was for—'

'Rory,'

'What?'

'I want you to take it.'

'What?'

'You heard me, now.' He said handing it to her.

'It's gonna say negative because I'm NOT!'

'Okay then why are you so afraid?'

'I'm not. It was a friends, she asked me to get it and I forgot to return it this morning because she didn't need it anymore.'

'Conveniently.' Jake said. Rory sighed and took the test. She emerged from the bathroom a minute later holding the test. She had a smirk on her face as she was about to show him her negative test. Except there was one problem, when she looked at before giving it to him, it read positive.

Is she pregnant? Is she not? Tell me your thoughts! :0)
