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.

How Ironic. First Ashlee and then her. Jake had called the clinic. She had an appointment the next Thursday. He had made her not tell Tristan yet. God she was scared. It was a Saturday and all she wanted to do was be with her boyfriend. She lay in her bed thinking when Tristan came in.'

'Come on! Get up!' He laughed. Rory smiled, a fake smile, but none the less a smile.

'You okay?'

'Yea, just a little confused.'

'I can help with that.' He sat down next to her and ran a finger down her cheek seductively. She shrugged him off. This is going to be a long week.

'Okay, now I'm confused. What's wrong?'

'Nothing.' The phone rang before he could object.

PHONE--------------------

T- hello?

A-hey, Rory called me.

Right.

'Here.'

R-hey

A- Yea? 911, what's wrong?

R- hold on

'Could you, umm.....' she asked Tristan. He rolled his eyes and left.

R- Jake found it,

A-Are you shitting me?

R-no

A-I thought you were gonna return it!

R- I was but I forgot.

A-Oh no

R-Yea, could you come over?

A-Sure. I'll be there ASAP!

R-Thanks.

A-Yup

End----------

Rory went out of her room to the kitchen.

'Coud you tell me? And he found what?' Tristan asked.

'You listened to my conversation?'

'That's the only way I can figure what's bothering you!'

'He found something of Ashlee's'

Oh.'

'Yea, she has to come and pick it up.'

'Okay wahts going on?'

'Nothing.'

'That's bull, and you know it! First Ashlee disappears and two days later you're like pissed off at me for no apparent reason!'

'It's not you. I just, when Ashlee comes send her to me room.' Then the doorbell rang.

'Odd.' Rory said.

'Hey Ash.'

'Come.' Ashlee said wrapping her arm around Rory and walking with her to her room. Ashlee pushed Rory in and shut the door behind them. Rory turned around and her eyes were filled with tears.

'What happened?'

'He wanted me to take it so I did and when I brought it out to show him it was negative, I looked at it quickly and it wasn't negative.'

'What? Oh god, Rory.' Ashlee said enveloping Rory into a hug.

'What brand did you buy?'

'Phuture.'

'Rory those are normally right.'

'I know! Why do you think I'm so freaked out?' more tears came and flooded her eyes.

'Well, lets go to the clinic. Better to know for sure.'

'Jake called. I have an appointment Thursday. They don't have anything sooner!'

'Oh yea, New years.' Ashlee said her face dropping.

'Oh my god! What am I gonna do?' she asked wiping away the tears allowing new ones to drench her cheeks. Ashlee pulled her back into a hug, and they both looked up when there was a knock on the door.

'Who is it?' Rory called.

'It's me Jake. Can I come in?' Ashlee looked at Rory. Rory wiped her face off on her shirt.

'Yea.' She said. The door opened and Jake stepped in and then jumped.

'Whoa! Hey Ashlee.'

'Sorry, did I scare you?'

' A little. So, did Rory tell you?'

'Yea.'

'Kay, cam I just talk to Rory for a few minutes alone and then you can come back in?'

'Okay.' She gave Rory another hug and walked out.

'Can I sit?' Rory nodded.

'What did you wanna talk about?'

'Well first, do you have any questions for me?'

'One, why cant I tell Tristan?'

'Because it complicates things.'

'How do you know?'

'Well my older sister, whose 29 now, but when she was 19, she also thought she was pregnant. She didn't get a test done at the time but when she told her boyfriend, everything was screwed up between them, and she had her monthly cycle two days later.' Rory laughed a little.

'I just, I want him to know.'

'I know you and I'm saying you can't. I just think it would be better if you waited. Ya know until you make sure, even though you probably are.'

'Not helping.'

'Sorry.'

'It's okay.'

'Okay, so I just wanted you to know that even though there's a possibility you're not, I don't or I won't look at you any different. You'll always be my "little sister" and I can't tell you how Tristan will react either.'

'I know and thanks.'

'Mhmm. You didn't think this would happen did you?'

'Not in a million years.'

'I'm sorry I shouldn't have been so mean last night.'

'Jake, it's okay. It's one odd story though.'

'I'll agree to that. Okay, I'll send Ashlee back in.'

'Thanks.' She smiled. Ashlee came back in a few minutes later.

'So?' she asked.

'He's here for me.' Rory's eyes were red but she wasn't crying anymore.

' I am too, all the way.' Rory got up and went to the bathroom. She washed her face off.

'Thanks.'

'Yup. You wanna go get a milkshake or something?'

'Sure.' Rory took her jacket off the back of her chair and put it on. They walked out of her room. Tristan was lying on his back on the couch listening to his walkman and reading a magazine. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye and looked up. He immediately took of his ear phones and stood up walking over to the two.

'So can you tell me now that nothing's wrong or are you gonna tell me the truth?' Rory took a deep breath and once again tears came.

'I can't.' She choked and Ashlee walked her out.

'Jake!' Tristan called after the door was shut. He heard a quiet "yea". He walked to Jake's bedroom and saw him lying on his bed reading a book for school.

'What's up?' Jake asked putting the book aside.

'Well besides the fact that my girlfriend is acting incredibly strange and can't tell me what it is, nothing.'

'Oh.'

'Yea, so what happened last night? Why did you need to talk with Rory?'

'Oh just about her keeping her bathroom more orderly.'

'Right, and I should believe that because?'

'Look, Tristan, I would just leave it alone. When she wants to tell you, she will.'

'Fine.' He said walking to his room and shutting door.

COFFE SHOP—

' I wanna tell him SO bad!' Rory said.

'But why?'

'Because he should know that I have HIS kid inside of me! Also he's the one who did this to me, shouldn't he know?'

'I wouldn't tell him.'

'Yea, but I'm not you.'
