Author's Note: There's nothing I can do about the page break thing. I put big huge spaces in between, and they get squashed down. That's why I started with really small chapters.

"Rory." Rory had dreamt of running through a hallway with babies crying on each side, running towards a mother she couldn't find. Somehow though, she hadn't felt alone. And even in dream consciousness, she knew that she had Jess to thank for that. "Rory." She slowly lifted her head, and peeked open her eyes.

"Jess." She responded, smiling, still in a dream like daze. Jess felt his stomach drop. She had a way of saying his name…it made his world stop.

"Rory, I have something to tell you." The words were out of his mouth before he'd even had the chance to process them. Her eyes snapped open, focused and alert. What're you gonna do now? His conscience's voice screamed through his mind, but he didn't let that stop him. He stood and walked to the foot of the bed Rory was sitting on.

"What is it, Jess? Is everything Ok?" It's do or die time, his conscience whispered, and Jess knew the words were true. "Jess, come on. You're scaring me." She whispered, biting her lip at the look of intensity in his gaze.

"Rory…your mom….she's…pregnant." Rory's normally pale face lost it's color entirely. Her eyes were deep and cavernous and her lip had started to bleed.

"She's pregnant." Jess nodded, wondering why she wasn't in hysterics, screaming and throwing things. The weight on his shoulders had lifted, he had told the truth, but he sensed he was on the path to destruction. Rory slumped against the headboard, deflated.

"So is this the big secret?" She asked, standing. Her tones clipped, her breath catching on the last word. "I mean, I knew something was up. Luke called and said she was sick. He knew I'd come out here. He knew I'd want to see her, and all because she's pregnant!" Jess tried to speak, to touch her arm, to calm her, but Rory was far from consolable. "And all this time, I've been sitting back thinking, hey, she was right about everything. And I can't believe I didn't listen to her, and she orchestrated this?" Her breathing was rough now, her eyes blazing. "Did she make Logan break up with me too? Did she pay him off? I know our life wasn't the greatest prize, but it was ours." She let out a shaky breath, not caring if he now saw her tears flowing. "God, I knew I shouldn't have come back here. I knew it." She started to leave, his as always, his voice held her back.

"Rory, wait a second." He stood up, walking towards her, his arms out; the epitome of understanding.

"No! I don't want to listen! I don't want your reasons! You lied to me! I thought I didn't hate you so much anymore, I thought you'd changed into somebody I could trust, but you didn't." She stared at him straight in the eyes, the heavy tears causing her cheeks to redden. "I hate you, and I hate her, and I'm never coming back."

She slammed the door, and walked down the steps into the diner, hoping that she hadn't made a scene, but not caring either way. But as she pushed passed the moth eaten curtain which separated the apartment from the store, she found herself staring into a pair of bright blue eyes which matched her own.

"Rory!" Lorelai exclaimed, tears forming in her eyes. Luke stepped in front of his stepdaughter, his hands, lightly on her shoulders. He tried to reason with her, tried to explain in some quick, hurried sentences what had happened, but Rory wasn't listening. Fire and rage coursed through her, and she shoved his hands off. Lorelai had stood, was coming towards Rory with her arms open, tears of joy wetting her cheeks. "Rory! I can't believe you're here-I so wanted you to be I-"

"I HATE YOU." Rory screamed, running out of the diner as fast as she could, not once bothering to look back.

Author's Note 2: Unless you want it to be, this is not the end. I have a good chapter or two left in me.
