A/N – This was supposed to be just a fun little thing but apparently you guys loved it so...here goes the second chapter.
You Started It
"Okay so I'll see you tonight, six o'clock by the coffee cart outside my building." Rory confirmed.
"Yes." Logan agreed.
"I'll see you there." Rory shut her phone off and slipped into the newsroom.
"Hey Rory, what did you think of my last article?" Paris asked when Rory sat down at her desk.
"It was great, Paris. Why?" Rory asked curiously turning on her computer.
"Because apparently I'm in a 'funk' and my writing's not that great." Paris explained.
"Who said that?" Rory asked.
"Doyle." Paris sighed.
"Wait, did you guys get in a fight? Because if so then he's only saying that because he's angry it's nothing about your writing." Rory shook her head.
"No we aren't fighting. Besides I haven't spent much time on my articles lately I've been busy and I kind of have been in a 'funk' wouldn't you say?" Paris tilted her head.
"No I can't say I've noticed. I've been preoccupied watching out for another stupid Logan prank." Rory explained rolling her eyes, "it's been two weeks and nothing."
"I mean I haven't been drinking, or having coffee, I've been in the bathroom early every morning and let me tell you it's not because I have to pee." Paris said shaking her head.
"Wait Paris...what? What are you trying to say?" Rory's eyes went wide.
"Well Rory I thought you were smarter than that..." Paris started.
"Oh my god Paris are you pregnant?" Rory whispered urgently.
"No. Yes. I don't know." Paris said nervously.
"Well have you taken a test?" Rory asked.
"Not yet I couldn't just walk into that store and grab a test the whole school would know by tomorrow." Paris told her friend.
"Well, I'll have Stephanie send her driver to get one for you...does Doyle, wait it is Doyle right?" Rory asked urgently.
"Yes its Doyle and no he has no idea." Paris admitted, "I didn't want to tell him until I knew for sure."
"Make sure you're around the dorm at say five...I'll have a couple of the home tests for you to take and then we can take care of telling Doyle if it's positive." Rory told Paris.
"Okay oh and Gilmore?" Paris asked stopping a few feet away from Rory's desk.
"Yes Paris?" Rory asked.
"Thanks." Paris smiled slightly and left the newsroom.
--
"Here." Logan handed her a cup of coffee, "Decaf."
"Smart ass." She grabbed the coffee and continued back to her dorm.
"So do you think phase two went as planned?" Colin asked Logan.
"I hope so...but wait what was phase one?" Logan asked confused.
"Making her think there was no payback." Finn said, "Duh mate."
"Right. I get it, so phase three tonight, four forty-five outside by the coffee kiosk by her room. Don't be late." Logan told her friends and he made his way to his class.
"Do you think she knows?" Colin asked Finn looking in the room at Rory who was chatting animatedly on the phone.
"I don't know, she's smart but this is a very original prank...not even prank-like." Finn reminded.
"But she gets all As." Colin speculated.
"Very true mate, very true." Finn nodded and they left quickly.
--
"Joe's Pizza." Lorelai answered her phone.
"Hey Joe is my mom around?" Rory asked, distracted.
"Wow kid. What's on your mind?" Lorelai asked curiously grabbing her mug of coffee and sitting on the steps.
"Oh hi mom, sorry." Rory apologized.
"Not a problem. So what's happening? Did he finally prank you back? Is Stephanie okay? What about you? Did you fail a test? Wait before you answer any or all of my obscene questions...I went shopping!!!" Lorelai said excitedly.
"Oh what did you get?" Rory asked curiously.
"Well I got a pair of gorgeous black boots with a buckle, a new red v-neck sweater with a white blouse underneath and this amazing black pant suit..." Lorelai said, "I got some more too but that's what I'm wearing right now!"
"Oh mom it's sounds gorgeous...you'll have to show me next time I come home. Logan's taking me shopping soon...actually Logan's paying but I think I'll be shopping with Steph. He says I need a less...old me...wardrobe and need some 'new' Rory stuff."
"Ok sweetie, now what's going on today? Why were you so distracted when you called?" Lorelai asked.
"Well mom...do you have coffee? Are you sitting?" Rory asked seriously.
"Yes and yes." Lorelai replied.
"Well who's our favorite neurotic person?" Rory asked jokingly.
"What did Paris do?" Lorelai sighed shaking her head.
"Well mom I don't think you're going to believe this." Rory said.
"Just tell me." Lorelai sighed.
"She's pregnant." Rory said quietly.
"What?" Lorelai screeched, Rory had to hold her phone away from her ear.
"Well it's not for sure yet but she's late and has morning sickness..." Rory explained.
"Oh my god..." Lorelai shook her head in shock.
"I know." Rory agreed.
"How did this happen? She can't be a mom, she's not ready for that yet." Lorelai said.
"Mom!" Rory said shocked.
"Oh please I'm right and you know it." Lorelai teased.
"Fine. I've got to go, just thought I should tell you." Rory said.
"Thank you I appreciate it. Now sweetie she can't join us for the weekend, you and Stephanie come up every weekend and we get drinks and watch movies with junk food...Paris can't drink so she can't join us." Lorelai started, "And sweetie don't use Paris as an example don't go getting pregnant while you're still..."
"Goodbye mother." Rory hung up the phone.
--
"Paris are you here?" Rory called opening the door to their dorm.
"Yes. You're late, it's five oh one." Paris said.
"Sorry I had to stop for coffee...I got you decaf." Rory smiled at her friend.
"Thanks." Paris tried not to grimace as she took a sip of disgusting coffee.
"So Steph sent someone to get these." Rory handed her a bag with three tests.
"Three?" Paris asked looking in the bag.
"My mom took one every day for a month when she was pregnant with me." Rory told her.
"Why?" Paris asked very confused.
"She wanted to me sure before she told anyone...it was a big thing." Rory explained.
"Right." Paris shook her head, "I guess now is as good a time as any."
"Yes, I'm going out later but we'll figure this out if it's positive okay?" Rory told Paris trying to be comforting.
"Thanks Rory." Paris went into the washroom and closed the door behind her.
"Let me know when you're done." Rory went into her room and closed the door; she picked out a dress because she and Logan were going out to somewhere fancy apparently. The dress she chose was a Gucci tangerine pleated jersey wrap dress with gold accessories, her purse and jewelry.
"Hello?" Rory answered her phone.
"Hey Kid, listen I was wondering..." Lorelai started.
"Mom I'm kind of busy." Rory said hopping on one foot to put her last shoe on.
"What are you doing?" Lorelai asked.
"I'm getting ready to go out and waiting for Paris to get the results of the three tests I gave her." Rory told her mom sitting down on her bed.
"Three?" Lorelai raised her eyebrows.
"I want to be sure and by the way, you took one every day for a month when you had me." Rory said.
"I did?" Lorelai asked, "No I didn't."
"You told me you did." Rory asked confused.
"I must have been drunk." Lorelai justified it.
"Whatever. Listen I think I heard the timer go off, Paris is ready." Rory said, "I got to go."
"Bye Hun. Be there for her, it's hard to go through." Lorelai hung up the phone.
--
"Paris?" Rory knocked on the door.
"It's positive." Paris called.
"Oh Paris, are you alright?" Rory asked anxiously.
"I'm fine...it's just I can't leave school to do this, I need school." Paris said and it sounded like she was crying.
"Come on out sweetie we'll talk." Rory said.
"No go out on your date...I'll be fine. Thanks for everything Rory." Paris said quietly.
"No problem Paris." Rory said and slipped out of the room.
"Hey Ace." Logan walked up to her and kissed her.
"Hey." Rory smiled sadly.
"You alright?" Logan asked taking her hand.
"I'm fine...it's just Paris, well I shouldn't say." Rory shook her head.
"I'm sure she's fine." Logan said comfortingly.
"Ya I'm sure." Rory agreed and they left to go to dinner.
"Oh by the way," Logan said as they got into the car, "I love your dress or more specifically the way you look in it."
--
"Rory! Rory!" Paris was frantic coming into their dorm.
"What is it? Paris are you okay?" Rory asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's Doyle I told him...and he said to go away and that he didn't want anything to do with me or the baby..." Paris sobbed.
"Oh Paris, I'm sure he's just freaking out, he'll come around." Rory put a hand on her shoulder.
"But he told me...the one he's dating! That he never wanted to see me again." Paris said crying harder now.
"You know what I should talk to him." Rory said suddenly.
"No! Don't do that!" Paris said loudly.
"Why not? I could knock some sense into him." Rory told her.
"But..." Paris started.
"No buts." Rory stated and she grabbed her coat heading out of the room.
"Rory..." Paris called but Rory was gone, dialing her phone, "She's on her way."
"Okay meet us outside the newsroom." He said.
"Will do." Paris hung up her phone.
--
"DOYLE!!!!!" Rory called rushing into the newsroom.
"Gilmore?" Doyle asked coming out of his office.
"I need to talk to you." Rory said firmly.
"Come into my office." Doyle said gesturing to his cubicle.
"Sure." Rory nodded and followed him in.
"What's wrong?" Doyle asked.
"I think you know why I'm here." Rory glared at him.
"No I don't think I do." Doyle told her.
"It's Paris..." Rory started.
"Is she okay?" Doyle asked worriedly.
"She's not actually...you stomped all over her heart. She wants to be with you Doyle. I don't know why but she does and you need to talk to her you can't never see her again because of something like this." Rory said getting louder with each word.
"What are you talking about...I didn't do anything to her!" Doyle said angrily.
"You told her to leave you alone and stay away from you...you said you didn't want anything to do with your child!" Rory shouted.
"Rory what are you talking about? Paris and I haven't had sex." Doyle said, "And I never had that conversation with her."
"You what?" Rory said sitting down shakily.
"Paris isn't pregnant Rory." Doyle said laughing.
"Oh god." Rory went beet red and turned, running from the room.
--
"Hey Ace I'm glad to see you too." Logan said as she ran right into him.
"Logan, oh god..." Rory started looking up at his smirking face, "Oh!" Rory's eyes went wide, "You!!"
"Yes Ace me." Logan smiled proudly.
"You..." Rory repeated.
"I think we established it was me." Logan said, "With the help of my planners Colin and Finn." Logan pointed at them and they bowed "And the Oscar deserving Paris Gellar." Logan said and Colin and Finn started clapping.
"I can't believe you Paris! You traitor." Rory said.
"Hey he gave me coffee." Paris said.
"I gave you coffee." Rory pointed out.
"Decaf." Paris reminded.
"Oh ya." Rory said looking downcast.
"So Ace, not easily fooled?" Logan put and arm over her shoulders.
"Shut up. I never expected Paris to get involved with you." Rory explained.
"Sure." Logan said.
"Just take me shopping." Rory demanded.
"Yes ma'am." Logan saluted.
"And expect payback." Rory said running ahead.
"Payback? Payback?" Logan said and he began to chase her laughing through the halls.
