Chapter 6: I love you
It was Sunday, again, another two weeks and nobody else knew about it. Not even her best friend Lane, Rory was so embarrassed that she just couldn't tell her.
That particular day, she was laying on the couch, in her living room. She was trying to watch T.V. but instead, she was almost asleep. The doorbell rang once, twice, she got up, half sleeping, and opened the door. What was waiting for her at the other side waked her up.
Jess was standing there, holding three huge bags.
"Hey" he greeted her.
"Hi" she greeted back. "Come in" They walked inside very awkwardly until Jess started talking.
"I thought you might need help" He put the bags on the floor and pulled a book from one of them: "What to expect when you're expecting" and handed it to her. She smiled, tears on her eyes.
"Wait, I have more" He chose another bag and pulled a book from it: "Potty-training your toddler and some other interesting stuff" he handed it to her. She smiled and started:
"Jess you…" but he interrupted her. "This two bags are yours" he handed her the bags. "And this is mine" He pulled a third book from the third bag: "She's pregnant and I'm freaking out: a guide for expectant dads" he handed it to her. She was crying at this time, but Jess couldn't let her say anything:
"I've missed you this last two weeks, I had to be away to think, but I really missed you." He hugged her "and I'm willing to take care of this baby, I've thought about it and I'm sure, I want to be the father of your baby."
She was crying, but managed to say: "You don't have to, you know?" she looked at him in the eye "We can still be together. It's a huge responsibility and you don't have to take it."
"I want to do it," He said
"It's just that I don't want you to feel pressured to" She explained, but he interrupted her with a kiss.
"I want to do it because I love you" he said, and blushed intently, that was the first time he said those words. Rory smiled and answered:
"I love you two, Jess"
"You should tell them" Luke said, out of the blue, to the troubled Lorelai sitting at the counter, in front of him.
"Why did you say that?" she smiled "I've been sitting here for an hour, and the only thing you could say, for a whole hour, is: You should tell them"
"I just think you should" he answered, cleaning the counter.
"What for?" she looked down "To start WWIII?"
"The sooner it starts, the sooner it ends"
"No, see, It doesn't work that way, they'll hate me and Rory for the rest of our lives. The only innocent would be the kid"
"You never know, just give it a try" and with that said, he went over to a table to get the order.
"I do know" She turned around to face him "They are my parents"
Luke didn't answer.
"Luke! I've known them my entire life!"
Still no response, after a few minutes, she left.
Lorelai opened the door at her house; she found Rory and Jess soundly asleep on the couch, surrounded by books. They were on each other's arms and looked very happy. They were dressed, though, so she sighed. Lorelai took a blanket from a nearby table to cover them. When she picked it up, she found a big stock of books, she checked the titles: All of them were about pregnancy or parenting. There was even a book of names, marked with pink and blue flags on different pages. She opened it on the first page, it read: "There are thousands of ways to name a baby, may we come up with the best one for ours. I love you, Jess"
She read it again; it was not an illusion. She couldn't believe it. Lorelai turned around and picked the blanket up, she covered the couple, remembering that night when they met and she hated him so much, she would've never thought how much she was going to like him.
