Chapter 3- The Name That Belongs To The Chiltonie
Rory walked into the Manor and into the living room where her friends and Lorelai stood, they had thrown her a surprise baby shower.
"Oh my god you guys.. This is so sweet... Thank you." Rory hugged her mother and Paris. Rory sat down and they played the little games, some with twists. People put bids down for what day she was gonna have it and then if it was a boy or girl. Rory, Paris, and Lorelai shared a knowing glance at that one. It was just a few girls from school and her mom. They got to the presents.
"This is from us." Louise said, referring to herself and Madeline, she handed Rory a gift bag and two little boxes. Rory pulled out two tiny Chilton uniforms, one was the boy's and one was the girl's. Louise and Madeline had obviously put a lot of thought into this.
"Oh.. My god.. they're adorable... Oh my god thank you guys..." Rory hugged them.
"The little shoes are in the boxes." Madeline pointed out. Sure enough the iddy biddy baby shoes were in the boxes. She hugged them again.
"They're for when you com show him, or her off at school, she or he can be a miniature Chiltonie."
"Yeah. They're adorable you guys. Thank you so much." After the rest of the gifts were given and the party had gone out, the only two people left were Paris and Lorelai. Rory still fiddled with the tiny Chilton baby shoes, smiling to herself.
"Should we give it to her now?" Lorelai asked.
"Good a time as any." Paris replied.
"Give me what?" Rory asked.
"Oh come on you must have noticed that your mom and I didn't give you any gifts."
"Well com on." Lorelai said grabbing Rory's hand and bringing her upstairs, Paris followed behind. They stood in front of a door, Paris and Lorelai smiled at each other as they opened the door to reveal the nursery. Rory stood breathless and speechless for a moment.
"Oh my god. You guys when did you do all this?" She asked stepping into the room that was glowing in a soft yellow light. She stood entranced by it all, the way the color of the light cast the shadows of everything onto the elegant yellow background of the walls, the way the thin pinstripes of blue accented the room, the color of the carpet beneath her feet. She was nearly in tears when she turned to face Paris and Lorelai. "This is perfect... its perfect." Rory said hugging Lorelai and Paris. "Thank you so much." That night Rory had gotten up and turned on the soft light in the nursery, she just sat in the rocking chair and took it all in.
The next morning everyone else had things to do, and she was left alone on a Saturday. See left the house and got on a bus for Stars Hollow needing to see some people she desperately missed. She got off the bus and started walking towards Luke's. Everyone in Stars Hollow knew she was pregnant, and when she walked into the diner, she realized why exactly her mother thought it would be easier for her if they moved in with her grandparents. The people stared at her and then started talking in hushed tones about her, and she could tell.
Lane ran over and threw her arms around her, "Rory!"
"Lane!"
"Oh I can't believe you're here!"
"I know!"
"So.. boy or girl?" Rory looked around the diner, everyone was staring at her again.
"Come on." Rory lead Lane out side where they sat down. She leaned over and whispered in Lane's ear.
Lane smiled, "Awww. You got a name yet?"
"Yep."
"Good." They spent 20 minutes together trying to catch up from the last time they'd seen each other, over 2 months ago, and they had figured out, 20 minutes was not enough.
"Rory I've missed you so much."
"I've missed you too."
"I wish I could stay longer but I'm grounded as it is. I'll talk to you later."
"Yeah. Bye Lane."
"Bye Rory." They hugged once more before Lane walked home.
Rory walked back into the diner, this time Luke saw her. His eyes widened, "Rory you're..." He came from behind the counter, "Pregnant."
"Yes very." They hugged. "Luke I missed you."
"I missed you too kid." They stood there for a moment before Luke told her to sit down. Rory walked over to the counter and took a seat.
"You want anything?"
"Burger and Fries." She said with a smile.
"Coming up."
Rory looked at the person who had just emerged from the curtain. She recognized him and smiled. "Did you read it?" She asked while his back was to her.
He turned around, he too recognized her face. "Yes."
"Gold star for you." She smiled, and he returned it.
"So I thought you made your decision."
"I did, but I needed to come here today. Visit some people. And hey why were you upstairs?"
"Oh hey, Jess. Rory, this is Jess, my nephew, he's staying with me." Luke introduced the two as he walked by.
"You're Luke's nephew."
"Guilty."
"Wow."
"What?"
"Nothing." Rory finished eating and tried to pay Luke.
"No."
"Luke come on."
"No."
"Ugh you're stubborn."
"Yes. Now you're not paying, so put the money away."
"Ugh fine." There was a puase. "Luke."
"Yeah."
"I'm leaving now."
"I know." He walked out from behind the counter and came to give her a hug. They stayed in the hug for a while. Rory was crying, Luke was like a father to her, and this part, leaving him was the worst part of all of it.
"I love you Luke."
"I love you too kid." Luke kissed her forehead, before they pulled apart.
"Luke, her names gonna be Lorelai Veronica Gilmore." She whispered. He was the only person she's told the name to.
He smiled and shook his head. "How long have you had that in mind?"
"Since I found out what it was."
"Bye Luke." She resisted the urge to call him dad.
"Bye Rory." She walked out of the diner and got onto the bus back to Hartford
