An: Thank you to everyone who congradulated me. I'm still a little worried. I feel too young to have a baby. I spent a couple hours shopping for baby books today though. The what to expect throughout your pregnancy book scares me. lol

Disclaimer: I dont own Gilmore Girls or Ciara's 1,2,step

Ninaaa: I'm glad you like the story. I was really proud of chapter five. I couldn't not have Finn and Colin in it. I love them! Oh and thank you. I will keep you guys posted.

rockrose: Thank you!

cosmopolitan: Thank you. This pregnancy has just really bad timing.

blazergrl17: I always love big fans. Thank you!

nessy : I dont really think Rory is that ooc. It seems like she would be kinda shy when put into this kind of situation. I'm glad you like the story. Oh and yes, different areas of the world and let's just say i'm not an early riser. I am happy. I hope my fiance' will be too when I get my chicken butt up and tell him. Hm, maybe tomorrow.

brown-eyed-beauty87: I dont think it really is a problem. Just bad timing. Logan's a professor, if he was younger than 29 then i'd be worried.

meg: Thank you!

blueyed18: I like how you were concerned but also managed to slip in your request for another chapter. lol

Muisje: Thank you. I think Rory needed some extra security. She's going through that knight in shining armor clingy stage. It is for the sake of the story...and hey! It's my story! lol Thanks for the review.

Nancy : Thank you so much! I already have your e-mail on hand.

AN: I am LOVING the fan response! You keep that up and i'll keep this up.

She was woken by a clunk and a bunch of shushing. Rory was a bit disoriented and confused about the room she was in. Then last night's events came flooding back to her and hit her like a bowling ball. She groaned and rolled over. Her arm hit a piece of paper. She sat up and read it.

Ace,

Have some meetings this morning. I left Colin with my gold card for you to take. Go shopping. You better come home with more then two bags. Have fun!

Logan

Rory smiled. She stretched and was about to get a couple more minutes of sleep when she heard some interesting things from the other room. She heard Ciara's 1,2, step playing in another room then she heard Colin yell oiut Finn's name and another clunk. She had to see this. She walked out of Logan's room to the livingroom where she could see into the kitchen. Colin was reading the paper at the kitchen table. Nothing odd there. Then she saw Finn. She walked into the kitchen. She burst out laughing. Finn was mixing a batter and doing, you guessed it, the 1,2,step.

This beat is

Outrageous so contagious make you crave it,

(Jazze made it),

So retarded, top charted,

Ever since the day I started,

Strut my stuff,

And yes I flaunt it,

Goodies make the boys jump on it

(Jump on it),

No I can't control myself,

Now let me do my 1,2 step

Rory was doubled over in laughter. Finn looked up at her. He smiled. He put down the batter bowl and took her hands and twirled her around the kitchen. They were all laughing. The song ended shortly and they were trying to catch their breath.

"So, what did you need love?"

"Well, first I needed the elixir of life A.K.A coffee." Finn smiled and handed Rory a mug.

"The next thing?"

"Well, Logan left me this note telling me to take his gold card and go shopping since i'll be her the rest of the weekend. It's not that long but he wants me to bring back more than two bags." Finn smiled over at Colin giving him a knowing look. Colin just smirked and raised the paper back up.

"So, what's the problem there, love?"

"Well, I have no clothes or shoes to go shopping in. My other ones are all, um, bloody and everything." Rory said motioning with her arms.

"Yes,silly Logan. He said he forgot to put that in the note. He said just go to the room at the end of the hallway. It's his sister, Honor's room when she stays here. You can borrow some of her clothes." Rory nodded and dissappeared into the hallway.

"You think she's gonna be okay, Colin?" Finn asked a little concerned. Colin put down his newspaper to look at Finn.

"Yea, I called up Steph around ten minutes ago to go shopping with Ror. I even gave her my credit card. She just needs a friend right now."

"Did you tell her what happened?" Finn asked.

"Yea, I did. Steph was really upset and felt horrible for letting Rory go. I had to calm her down but I think she'll comfort Rory."

knock knock

Colin got up and walked towards the door.

"I'll get it." He opened the door to reveal Steph. She was wearing a simple pink cami and some faded American Eagle Jeans. She gave him a short kiss and walked in.

"Hey guys." She greeted. She knew Finn from the pub.

"Hey Steph." they said in unison.

"So, where's, Ror?" Steph said nervously. Steph really didn' know how she was gonna handle this. As soon as she said that Rory walked down the hallway in a pink B52s shirt and dark denim jeans. She was pulling her hair back.

"I think i'd like Honor." Rory said. Before she knew what was happening Steph ran up and hugged her.

"I'm so sorry, Ror." Steph looked at Rory watery eyed. That's all it took for Rory to break down in tears.

"Please, Steph." Rory said.

"Okay, i'm sorry. I wont bring anything up again about it. Have you called your mom yet?" Rory looked towards the ground. "Why not?" Steph asked.

"My mom is pregnant and I didn't want anything to upset her." Steph considered this answer for a minute.

"That's bull and you know it." Colin and Finn watched this with surprise as Rory's face changed.

"What the heck is that supposed to mean?"

"You and your mom, Ror. You and your mom have a special relationship. That's very true, but you guys have never seen eye to eye about your love life. The fact that you screwed up hurts you in so many different ways. The thing you dont wanna deal with though, is admitting to your mom that you were wrong." Rory's face was angry but it softened because she knew Steph was right. Damn Steph for knowing her so well. Rory walked over to her purse and took out the charger and looked over at Colin and Finn who pointed to and outlet next to the couch. She went over and plugged it in. It turned on and said she had Twelve new messages.

The first message was from her mom:

Rory, oh my gosh. Dont go out with Dean tonight. He's drunk and i'm not sure what he'll do, kid. Call me back asap. I love you sweets. Stay safe.

Too late for that, Rory thought.

Next message was from Lane asking her if they could meet up next week to plan her and Zach's wedding.

Next message was from Paris:

Gilmore, where the hell are you! You better call me back so help me god or you'll find your clothes strewn across the courtyard.

That was a moment with Paris Ladies and Gentlemen.

The next three were from Paris too: She deleted them.

The rest were from Lorelai. She was a scared mess.

Rory deleted all the messages and called Lorelai. It picked up on first ring.

"Hello?" Lorelai answered urgently.

"Mom, it's me." She heard Lorelai sigh in relief.

"Kid, are you okay? Why didn't you call me back?"

"Mom, I need you to be calm."

"I dont like where this is going."

"Last night, your right, Dean was very drunk. I was talking to one of my professors and Dean saw. He slapped me and drug me out of the pub, ahem, by my hair." Lorelai gasped.

"Is that all he did? Please tell me it is." Lorelai said in an unsteady voice.

" No, mom," Rory said her voice cracking too," He beat me and he raped me." Rory said breaking fully down into tears. She slid down the side of the couch. Steph went to go comfort her but was stopped by Finn who just held his hand up to let her finish talking to her mom. So, the rest just observed.

"Oh my god!" LOrelai was hysterical. "Are you okay now? Where are you?"

"I'm in good care now, mom. Professor Huntzberger found me. I trusted him and he took me to the hospital. The doctor said it wasn't safe for me to stay where Dean could find me until he was in custody so i'm staying with Professor Huntzberger and his roomates. Theyv'e been good to me." Rory turned to face the boys and smiled through her tears.

"I'm glad your safe. Come see me as soon as possible."

"That wont be soon because Dean lives in Stars hollow. Maybe you could stay with me, depending on where I end up."

"Alright, call me back later. Luke just got home."

"Okay, mom. Just, dont tell Luke. Please, iv'e been humiliated enough."

"Alright, sweets. I love you. Bye." They both hung up. Rory wiped her tears and turned to face the audience.

"So, Steph, what are you doing here anyway?" ROry asked.

"Me? Iv'e known these goofballs for awhile. Plus, I came to go shopping with you." Rory laughed but soon her laughing turned to crying within a second. She fell onto the floor again. Finn rushed over. He hugged her close.

"It's okay, love. You just go shopping and have fun. When you get back, Logan will be here." Rory smiled at that thought and calmed herself. Her and Steph left to go shopping. When the door shut. Colin spoke up.

"So, how do you suppose Logan will tell her that Dean made bail?" Colin asked Finn.

"I don't know, mate. Logan went down to the station today so maybe he made some progress." Colin nodded.

"I sure as hell hope so."
