Chapter 2: I Had Sex

Jess and Rory were spending time together just the two of them since Lori was gone. They were snuggled up on the couch watching 'Casablanca.' Jess couldn't help but think how lucky he was to have such a wonderful family. If it weren't for Rory getting pregnant, he would never have had this life. That was one reason he was glad she got pregnant at that party. He smiled when he remembered the night Lori was born. Jess still couldn't believe Rory had actually given birth in the diner; that was the greatest night of his life.

Rory had her head on Jess' chest and she heard his heartbeat, and thought about the news she had to tell him. She was a little nervous from what happened the last time. Not wanting to tell him at first, Rory blew up at him for no good reason. Once Luke and Lorelai sat them in a room together to work it out, she broke down.

Rory sat down on the couch staring at her hands. Lorelai asked her what happened to make her so angry at Jess. Poor Jess looked so upset and hurt by how mean Rory had been. It broke her heart. She knew none of this was his fault and she wanted to make everything right again.

"Jess, I'm so sorry," Rory said as she felt a tear roll down her cheek. "I was... I mean, it's gone."

Jess watched in horror as she broke into hysterics. He wrapped his arms around her and she let out all her anger and sadness out. At some point, Luke and Lorelai left them alone for Rory to tell Jess what happened.

"What's gone, Rory. Please tell me," he pleaded, hoping it wasn't what he suspected.

"I lost our baby," she sobbed.

Jess felt like his heart had been ripped out of his chest. The only thing he could think to do was hold her in his arms until she cried herself to sleep. He felt awful that it had happened, and even worse that Rory didn't tell him. Sure he had been busy on his first book, but he never wanted her to go through something like this alone. Rory felt relief wash over her as she finally told him the truth.


Rory snapped herself out of the terrible memory and knew that wouldn't happen again. She wouldn't let it happen again. Sitting up, she turned off the TV and Jess looked at her baffled by her actions. Before he could say anything, Rory took his hands in hers and smiled.

"There's going to be some changes around here, you know."

"What do you mean?" he asked her.

"Jess, we're going to have a baby!" she exclaimed.

She watched his reaction and stared at her with a blank expression on his face. Baby. A baby. Another girl. No. Maybe a boy. Or maybe... wow. A baby. He still stared. Barely blinking. Rory stared. She was waiting. Waiting for his reaction. A baby. Baby. A smile slowly spread across Jess' face. Rory's grin got even wider.

"So? What do you think?"

"I think we need to move into a bigger apartment!" he exclaimed as he twirled her around.

Then, fear struck him and he set her back down on the couch. Rory saw the fear in his eyes, and knew it mirrored the fear in her heart. What if they lost this baby, too. Rory didn't think she'd be able to deal with that again. Comforting him, she put her hand on his face and rubbed his cheek with her thumb.

"I'm fine, and the baby is fine. I went to the doctor to make sure before I told you. And we're healthy," she assured him.

"Wow, I mean we're having another baby. Let's just hope this one doesn't get born in the diner, too," he joked.

Rory laughed at him, and they started making out like teenagers when the phone rang. Jess kissed Rory one more time before answering the phone. Rory listened to his end of the conversation and didn't know what was going on, but she had a bad feeling about it. Hearing Jess sigh as he hung up the phone, she looked over to him and saw the solemn look on his face.

"Who was that?" Rory asked him.

"Lori, apparently she's in jail. She didn't sound right, not like herself I mean."

"Jail! What are you talking about! She's supposed to be at Leslie's!" Rory cried.

"Hon, don't get worried. For your sake and the baby's. Just calm down and I'll go pick her up, okay?"

"Okay," Rory reluctantly agreed.

Jess got into his car and drove to the prison where Lori was being held. It felt like deja vu, only with him on the other end. His mom had to pick him up from jail several times before she finally sent him off to live with Luke. That's when an idea hit him that he didn't like, but had a feeling it would be for the best. Jess decided he'd see what happened first, and then talk with Rory about his plan.

--------

Lori was sitting in the jail cell, waiting for her dad to get there. The same image of Josh on top of Leslie kept coming into her head, and she knew her buzz was starting to wear off. That also meant she'd need a toilet or a trashcan in another hour or so. Lori wasn't new to getting drunk, but she did have a good reason for it. And that reason kept replaying itself over and over in her mind. Finally, she heard her dad's voice.

"Dad!" she yelled, loudly while trying to stand up.

"Oh my God, you're drunk."

"Yeah, but you see... it wasn't my fault, at all." she slurred.

"Okay, let's go home. We'll talk about this tomorrow," Jess said with a sigh.

Lori tried to walk, but stumbled and ran into the wall. Jess took a deep breath and leaned all her weight on him and helped her make it to his car. He put her in the passenger's seat and then hurried around to his side of the car.

"Dad. You know why I got drunk," she said.

"No, I don't."

"It's because I saw Josh fucking Leslie at the party. I mean I wasn't going to drink anything, but I keep seeing it over and over and over and over again! How could he do that to me!?" she babbled as anger built up inside of her. "I gave him everything! I'm going to kill him. Come on, let me out and I'll go kill him good."

"Uh, I don't think that's a good idea," he told her, sad that Lori had to go through something so awful.

Jess didn't even want to think about what she meant by 'everything,' but he had an idea he already knew the answer to that. His little girl probably wasn't so little anymore, and that punk had the balls to cheat on her. Jess knew he'd have to punish her for getting drunk, but the more he found out about it, the less he wanted to. Once they pulled up in front of their apartment, Jess helped Lori climb the stairs.

"Jess, thank God your home!" Rory cried as Jess and Lori came into the apartment. "Oh my God, is she drunk!"

"Yes, she is. She's very drunk and I heard a very interesting story about why, too."

"Oh no!" they heard Lori groan as she ran for the toilet.

"And there the joy of being drunk ends," Jess stated, sarcastically.

"Should I check on her?"

"No, it seems like she's done this a few times, before. She even enlightened me on a great recipe for a hangover drink."

Rory's eyebrows raised as she watched her husband. "So what did she tell you? Why did she get drunk and lie to us?"

"Well, from what I gathered by her ramblings is she went to a party, I'm guessing to play, and she saw Josh having sex with Leslie."

"What!?" Rory shrieked.

"Yeah, and then, she decided to get drunk. The cops raided the party and here we are. I had to fill in the blanks a little myself, but that's what I think happened."

Rory just stared in shock, and then went into the bathroom to check on Lori. Even though what she did was stupid, Rory knew everyone makes mistakes when they're young. If she hadn't, Lori wouldn't be in existence. Lori had stopped getting sick, and was now passed out on the floor. She called Jess in, and he carried their daughter to her room to sleep off the awful night.

--------

The light hurt. Everything in the room spun in circles. Struggling to get up. Head weighed down; everything hurt. Thirsty. Lori finally willed herself to sit up, and immediately regretted the decision as her head started pounding. Stumbling into the living room, she saw both her parents waiting for her. Knowing they'd want to talk, she stumbled past them and started making her way to the kitchen. She felt their eyes on her as she started making her drink. It tasted awful, but it was good for a hangover. When it was done, she downed it and felt a little better. Taking a deep breath she entered the living room.

"Hi, uh I'm sorry about last night," she told them.

"Lori, you and I are going to have a serious talk later, but right now I want to talk about what's going on," Rory told her with tears in her eyes.

"I told you I'm sorry, I was upset and I needed to forget for a while."

"Well, your mother and I have been talking and we think the best thing for you will be for you to spend the summer in Stars Hollow," Jess replied calmly.

"What!?" Lori squealed, but then groaned as her head hammered again.

"That turned me around, so we both think it would be the best thing for you. When we go up there on Saturday, you won't be returning with us," Jess told her, feeling badly for doing this, but knowing it was the right thing to do.

"This is unfair!" Lori said as she glared at both her parents.

"Unfair!" Rory said. "I'll tell you what's unfair. Finding out your daughter has been lying to you for God knows how long!"

"Fine," Lori said and stood up to shower.

In the shower, she finally let the gravity of the situation hit her. Josh cheated on her with her best girl friend. She felt her tears mix in with the steaming hot water and started to cry silently. Her mother said they were going to talk later, and she knew she had to tell her about having sex with Josh. Lori was angry with her parents, but she knew it was what they thought would be the best thing for her. Her mom always made things seem better, and she needed that right now.

--------

Once she was fully dressed, she sat in her room until she heard her mother softly rap on the door. She told her to come in, and Rory stood in the doorway for a second watching her baby girl. Memories of her first steps, and her first day of kindergarten flooded Rory's brain, but she shook them away and sat next to Lori.

"Hey babe. Do you want to tell me anything?" Rory asked her, softly.

"Yeah. I know you're not going to like it, though." Lori said, and suddenly she felt like she was a little girl again, going to her mother for comfort.

"That's okay, but I still want to know. It's okay. You can tell me." Rory said and braced herself for the words that were going to come out of Lori's mouth.

"I had sex with Josh about a month ago."

Rory took a deep breath; although she had been prepared somewhat for this, a mother could never fully be prepared to hear it in reality. Inhaling, she waited for Lori to continue. After the blur that was the night before, everything finally hit her. Lori gave Josh her virginity. She loved him with all her heart, and he made her feel so special. Now, Josh was sleeping with Leslie, making her feel the same way he had made Lori feel.

"Mom, how could he do this to me. Why? Was I not good enough for him, is that why he slept with Leslie. Why?" Lori couldn't control the tears as they fell down her cheeks.

"No, look at me Lori," Rory told her firmly. "You are too good for him. Do you hear me? He is a jerk and you are worth so much more than that."

"I know, but I still love him Mom. It hurts so bad," Lori sobbed.

Rory wrapped her arms around her daughter and just held her close. She remembered how she felt the few weeks Jess was gone. The pain was unbearable and she had similar feelings to those of Lori. The difference was that Jess came back. Josh cheated on Lori, and Rory knew if he tried to come back Lori would probably try to kill him.

"Mom, can I have some time alone please?"

"Sure, baby, I'll be in the other room. Who knows, maybe it will do you some good to go to Stars Hollow."

"Yeah, maybe."

"Oh, and Lori. Did you use protection?" Rory asked, slightly afraid of her answer.

"Of course I did. Just like you always told me to."

"Okay, bye Lori."

Shutting the door, Rory put a hand on her stomach. She never wanted this child to leave her. As long as it was inside of her the world couldn't hurt it. Not like the world had hurt Lori. Jess heard the door shut and walked over to where Rory was staring into space. He led her away from Lori's room and just hugged her. Leaving Lori there was going to be hard on both of them.
