Telling Mom, Telling Them, Telling Him
"Jeez, you sound really down hun. Whats the matter?"
"I have something I need your advice on"
"Are you ok Rory?" Lorelai asked, concerned at her daughters distraught state
"No, I'm not alright. Mom, what was the first thing you did when you found out you were pregnant?" Rory said quietly
"Oh my god!" Lorelai screeched, "Are you sure?"
"Steph and I went shopping today. Besides visiting the mall, we took a quick stop by the doctors office because I hadn't been feeling well. Yeah, I'm pretty sure"
"Wow" Lorelai breathed, "Thats a twist in events"
"Yeah, what am I going to do?"
"You talk about it like its a bad thing. Rory, this kid is your ticket out of Emily Gilmore Land. Its a free wave, ride it while you can"
"Mom, the whole reason I didn't like the marriage thing was because I wasn't ready to start my life yet. I'm only in college, I need more time to figure out what I want my life to be. I don't want to be roped into responsibility so I can make my own decisions"
"Well I'm sorry kid, your in to deep to bail now. You can still have that life Rory, you can still make your own decisions. Except their will be a darling little boy or girl who comes over to stay with Grandma Lorelai each day. See? Thats one solution"
"Ok fine. But what am I going to say? I mean, I don't have to say anything to Yale, the baby will be due in the summer, my what about Grandma and Grandpa? What about Finn?" Rory choked before whispering, "What about Logan?"
"Honey, if he loves you, he will love this child. If he doesn't, than maybe he wasn't worth it in the first place" Lorelai said simply
"I guess you're right"
"I'll tell your dad. Do you want me to tackle Grandma and Grandpa for you?"
"No, I want to make my own life, I'll start by doing things on my own"
"Your call. You probably want to go have some girl time with Steph. I'm sure she will have a lot of ideas about what to buy for baby. Oh you have to think of baby names! And color patterns! And, and..."
"Bye mom" Rory hung up the phone. She held her head in her hands and rubbed her temples
"So, did I hear your mom mention shopping?" Stephanie said, trying to sound casual
"Yeah, we have to plan what to buy for baby, what to paint baby's room, and name for baby" Rory said, actually smiling at the thought of naming HER child, buying stuff for HER child, making a room for HER child.
"Lets get started!" Stephanie exclaimed

"Ding-dong" the doorbell gonged menacingly
"Whoever can that be?" Emily wondered aloud
"Oh, did I forget to mention that Rory's coming to dinner tonight?" Lorelai said
"It must have just slipped your mind" Emily said sarcastically
"If we had know we could have invited the DuGreys" Richard muttered under his breath
"Rory's coming?" Finn asked stupidly. He hadn't seen much of Rory the past few months. He knew she had moved in with Logan, and the thought troubled him. He didn't protest, but he avoided them like the plague.
"Hey everyone" Rory walked in, looking gorgeous as always, yet Lorelai could see the fear in her eyes. Lorelai and Chris smiled at her, while Finn averted his eyes. Rory remained quiet for drinks, and most of dinner, but when dessert was served, and abruptly stood up
"Um, attention everyone" Rory tried to keep her voice steady, "I have something to say"
"What is it Rory, we would like to get to our dessert" Emily said, irritably
"I just wanted to say, that I can't marry Tristan DuGrey" Rory felt all eyes on her
"Nonsense, you have no say in the matter" Emily said, shrugging to the statement
"No, it's not that I don't want to, no wait, I don't want to, but thats not the point. The point is I can't" Rory tried to clarify
"Why not?" Richard asked
"Well because, I am bound to Logan" Rory searched for words
"What, did you illegally get married or something? Because that kind of thing can be easily overruled" Richard assured
"No, um, we kind of have a responsibility together" Rory still couldn't come out and say what she wanted to say
"What are you talking about?" Emily said, irritated
"I'm pregnant" Rory burst out. The room fell into silence
"Good god" Emily murmured
"Not again" Richard held his head in his hands
"This is all your fault!" Emily exploded at Lorelai
"My fault!" Lorelai retorted, "I don't think so, I think Logan deserves some of the credit"
"But your the one who should have brought her up right so this wouldn't happen" Emily started pacing
"Don't you dare blame me. Besides, there shouldn't be blaming, we should be happy. I know Chris and I am" Lorelai spat
"You knew! Oh great, I'm just out of the loop of everything. Don't worry, just tell Emily when you feel like it, it's not like she has any feelings" Emily ranted
"Does Logan know?" Finn asked quietly
"Of course he knows, Rory would have told him first of course, this is his child to" Emily said
"No" Rory murmured, "No, I haven't told him" she said louder
"What! Are you insane? You tell your parents first, then your grandparents and your brother, but you still haven't even told your child's father?" Emily yelled
"I'm gonna kill him!" Finn exploded, jumping to his feet
"Rory, I recommend using the drainpipe by the attic window" Lorelai whispered to Rory. Rory nodded, and slipped away upstairs, escaping the rage boiling over below

"You ok hun?" Lorelai spoke quietly into her cell phone, "Wow, stupid question. Why does it seem that every Friday night ends in fighting and one of these phone calls"
"I guess I convinced myself that they would take it better than that" Rory choked on her tears
"Hey, never underestimate the Gilmore's, I lesson I learned to late"
"Mom, I really don't feel like talking now. I need to think about what to say to Logan"
"So, you gonna tell him tonight?" Lorelai asked carefully
"Yeah, I think I should have done that first, I mean, it's his kid to"
"Go do what you gotta do kid, I'll talk to you later"
"Thanks, bye mom"

"Hey Ror! I didn't think you would be back so early" Logan greeted her with a kiss, "Robert randomly decided to get married, we're throwing him a bachelor party, but the bachelorettes just won't leave" Rory glanced around at the apartment, filled wall to wall with young, drunk, Yale students. Beer bottles lying empty on the tables, the stereo pounding on its top volume, drinking, dancing, making out, chaos.
Rory kissed Logan again. "What was that for?" Logan asked
"Just trying to see if you're drunk. You're not, are you?" Rory asked, pleadingly
"Don't worry Ace, I knew there had to be at least one responsible person here to keep Finn under control, I've only had two beers, not even" Logan reassured her
"Good" Rory said, relieved, "Logan, can I talk to you, alone?" she begged
"Sure, our room's open, I told them they could only destroy the living room" Logan led Rory into their bedroom, "So, whats up? Something terrible happen at the Gilmore's again? Who are you suppose to marry this time? Prince William?" Logan tried to make Rory smile
"Logan, I have something to tell you. Something really big"
Heh heh heh, I'm always evil. Review, shoot for 400!
