Disclaimer: I don't own them, but maybe the WB people are smartening up? I've heard rumors from a reliable source of Milo's return… that would make my Gilmore Girls watching life.
"So," Rory Gilmore looked up and smiled wanly. Her cheeks were puffy, her eyes were rimmed with red, and her bottom lip was quivering. Jess sighed and sat next to her on the bed, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. She turned and leaned onto his shoulder, tears streaming down her face.
"I-I, I don't know what to do." She gulped, taking in huge gulps of air, shaking to and fro. Jess nodded and rubbed her arm affectionately, kissing her forehead. She shuddered, but nodded, wiping the tears from her cheeks and pushing the hair back from her face. "It's Ok. It really is. I mean it's for the best. It is." She nodded, but even as she spoke a fresh wave of tears sluiced down her cheeks.
"Ror, it'll be Ok." She nodded, disbelievingly and sighed. "It will." He tipped her chin and looked into her eyes, kissing her lightly. She wrapped her arms around his middle, her head under his chin, and let out her despair.
"Hi hon." Rory looked up from her calculus notebook and nodded at her mother. "Is there anything you want to tell me?" Rory's lids were heavy, her lips bee stung, and as she turned her neck, Lorelai noticed a hickey on her neck. "Is that…" she stopped to collect her thoughts, and sighed. "Rory, I know that you and Dean have been dating a long, long time. And that there's a natural progression that goes along with these things, but please tell me you haven't…" she couldn't finish her sentence, and was ridiculously pleased when Rory went pink, and began shaking her head.
"Mom, I have not had sex with Dean." She exclaimed with conviction, her hands beginning to shake. Lorelai let out a quick sigh of relief, and took her place next to her daughter at the table, cartons of Chinese food in the paper bag she held in her hands. As they ate, Rory couldn't help but thinking about her secret-heavily weighted on her chest. She hadn't told Lorelai, and now it was too late. She sighed and thought back to that night, just a few weeks ago, and everything it had changed.
Author's Note: Ok, I know it's obscenely short, but the alternative was having it be obscenely long, and that wouldn't have been good. So as soon as I finish it (and it'll be soon, because I already have a good chunk of it down), both this chapter, and the circumstances around how Rory and Jess did it will be up! I'm excited to see where it'll take me. Happy reading!
