Chapter 11

Lorelai woke up the next morning and went downstairs. She saw something she had totally forgotten about. Chris. Rory had mentioned he was back, but she said he went to find a job in Boston. He was asleep on the couch.

She quickly tried to make it to the kitchen, but she tripped over a shoe and yelped and it seemed to wake him up. "Lor?"

"Hey, Chris."

"I didn't know you were back."

"Yeah, I just got back yesterday when you were gone."

"Oh. How are you?"

"Fine, I guess."

"Well I have to talk to you."

"Can we do it later?"

"Sure, how about over coffee?"

"That sounds alright."

"We can go somewhere in Hartford."

"Yeah."

"How about Tisane Tea & Coffee?"

"I've heard about that place, it's supposed to be really good."

"Okay, so we'll meet there at about five."

"Sounds good."

"I better get going. I have to go to the inn for a little while."

"Bye, Lor."

"Bye, Chris."

Lorelai went to the kitchen and Christopher went upstairs to take a shower. Lorelai sighed heavily. Rory walked in the room. "What's wrong?" Rory asked.

"Oh, nothing it's just that the man who impregnated me and another woman wants to have coffee with me to sort things out." Lorelai replied.

"Wow, and it's only nine-thirty in the morning."

"I know."

"I'm gonna head to the diner."

"Okay, I gotta get to the inn and I'll probably go from there to get coffee with your dad. Oh, and did I mention that he is dragging me to Hartford!"

"Good luck."

"Thanks." Lorelai said and went upstairs and ran into Christopher. "Ahh." She said.

"Sorry." He said back. Lorelai went straight to her bathroom, locked herself in there, and took a shower.

Rory was on her way to the diner when Lane came up to her. "Hey, Rory." She said.

"Hey, Lane. I haven't seem you lately. I have some records to give you that I bought when I went to New York with Jess."

"Really? I love you. I knew there was a reason you were my best friend. I came to ask you if you and Jess are going to the hockey game tonight. My mom is making me go with Young Chui and I need sane people with me."

"I'll ask him. I was just heading over to the diner now. Do you want to come with?"

"No, I can't I have to get back for Bible Study. Call me when you know."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye." Lane said and ran off.

Rory continued walking and reached the diner. She saw Jess standing at the counter with a book. She walked in and he didn't look up at the sound of the bells. 'Must be Hemmingway.' Rory thought. She sat at the stool right in front of him. He still hadn't noticed her. She just put his book down and kissed him. "Hey." he said.

"You finally got your nose out of that book."

"I guess."

"I have something to ask you."

"Ask away."

"Well the hockey game is tonight and I was wondering if you would maybe, come with me."

"Sure."

"Because Lane really needs someone sane there and I don't really want to be the third-"

"Rory, I said yes."

"You did?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll come over here at about… six thirty. The game starts at seven."

"Okay."

"Good, give me coffee."

"I can't believe you waited that long anyway."

"Me either, I thought I was gonna keel over or something." He rolled his eyes and poured her a cup of coffee.

At five, Lorelai went to the coffee shop in Hartford and saw Christopher sitting there. "Hey, Chris. So what do you want to talk about?"

"I want another chance with you and Rory."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"No."

"Why?"

"Is it just me or does it seem like whenever Rory or I get close to you we get hurt?"

"Well, that's true but a lot has happened and that's all fixed."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Sherry had a miscarriage and she left me."

"You're broke, Chris!"

"So?"

"I can't support you the rest of my life."

"Yes you can."

"Go back to Boston, Chris." Lorelai said getting up. "Your stuff will be on the porch when you get back. Don't bother coming in and trying to talk to talk to me." Lorelai said as she left.

Rory left her house at six twenty five to go to the hockey game. She went to the diner to get Jess. He was in the same position as earlier, reading. This time, when Rory entered he looked up. He gave her a kiss. "Coffee?" He asked.

"To-go please, we have to go get Lane and Young Chui."

"Okay." He poured her a cup and they left. They got Lane and Young Chui and went to the game. Numerous amounts of junk food later, the game was over. Stars Hollow lost, let's just say badly.

"You know, Jess. You are the boyfriend I've had with the closest eating habits as the Gilmores do." Rory said as the four of them walked out of the rink.

"Need I remind you Rory, I am only the second boyfriend you've ever had."

"Still."

"We've gotta get going." Lane said speaking for both her and Young Chui.

"Okay, bye Lane. I'll bring you the records tomorrow."

"Can't my mom will be home all day. But Tuesday she has an antique fair in Woodbury, so you can come over then."

"Okay."

"Bye, Lane." Jess said.

"Bye." Lane said and walked off with Young Chui.

Rory and Jess arrived at the diner. "I'll see you tomorrow before school?" Jess asked.

"Yep." They kissed passionately. "Tomorrow." She said and headed towards her house. She got in and her mother was asleep on the couch with all of her fathers bags with no sign of her father at all.

Someone knocked at the door. Rory answered it and was surprised at who was there. "I'm pregnant," was all she said.

A/N: Can you guess who is pregnant? Good luck. Oh yeah, and Tisane Tea & Coffee is a real place in Hartford, if you were wondering. Just so you huys know, I wote Columbia in my story so that it would be different because almost no one does Columbia. If you don't like it, I'm not going to force you to read my story, but I really wish you would. Just consider it, please. Brittany, my mother is Mexican and my father is half Argentine and half Mexican, so I'm 100 percent Latina. We moved up north when I was twelve, so no one knows Spanish. Sometimes I say stuff in Spanish when I'm mad and they have no idea what I say.
