Over the course of the next month life got back to normal and Rory's life began to regain its normalcy. That was until Emily and Richard returned from their tour of Europe. Rory was faced with having to tell her grandparents the news that would crush them once again.
Friday night dinner came along and Rory and Lorelai arrived at Richard and Emily's as usual. Rory was a few months along and a small bump was beginning to show. Emily welcomed them and they all sat in the living room together. Emily and Richard asked what was new and Lorelai gave one of her usual sarcastic answers. Rory on the other hand was unusually quiet. She looked at her mother for encouragement, this was going to be the hardest thing that she would ever do.
"Grandma, Grandpa you may want to sit down, this is going to hurt you guys a lot."
"O Dear honey what's wrong, you haven't failed, or hurt yourself have you?"
"No Grandma, nothing like that its more of a…of a… life path"
"You're not going to be a journalist anymore???????? O Dear God what will you do instead??"
"Grandma I'm going to be a journalist, but I'm going to do it with…with…with…with a baby."
"YOU'RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!! How could you do this to us, to yourself?? What are you going to do? Everything is going t be ruined!!"
Emily wouldn't calm down and Richard was getting more and more furious by the second. Rory was getting scarred so Lorelai had to step in.
"Mom, Dad calm down. Rory will do fine and I'll help her out. She has the support of everyone she knows right now and if you shut her out you could lose her and no one wants that."
"Fine, fine fine, lets go eat"
"Good"
