Something So Simple
I Need You
Note- this chapter will have different POVS besides the usual Rory and Jess. I still don't own Gilmore Girls!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory-
We had been driving and mom had been talking about what had happened at Grandma's and Grandpa's. We were still in Hartford because I had to go to Paris's house. She was going to pack to spend the night in Stars Hollow and then drive Jess and I home. I let Luke talk to mom while I talked to Jess.
"When's your first doctors appointment?" he asked me.
"Soon. I'm really nervous. I have no idea what's going to happen." I replied.
"Well I'll be there" Jess told me.
"Damn right you'll be there." Luke called from the front.
"God. Why did this happen?" I asked mainly to myself.
"I don't know Ror." Jess said, "but it did and we'll have to figure it out."
"Rory. We're at Paris's house." Mom announced from the front seat.
"Okay. Come on." I tell Jess.
"I don't want to go." Jess protested.
"Then you don't have to." I tell him.
"I'm going because I want to be with you." He said. I smiled and kissed him.
"When did you become so corny?" I ask as I ring the doorbell.
"I'm not corny." Jess said putting on his tough exterior.
"Okay…" I say as a maid opens the door.
"Yes?' she ask.
"Hi. I'm Rory and this is Jess. We're here to see Paris."
"Fine come in. She's upstairs." The maid said as I walked in. I climbed the stairs I could here screaming. I found the source of it and opened the door. Paris was a wreck. She was punching her bed and screaming with tears in her eyes. I make a quick exit before she notices I'm in here.
After I climb down the stairs I look at Jess and say, "Call a cab. I need you to go home without me. Paris is a mess and I need to be with her tonight. Just trust me no way are you getting back to Star Hollow tonight if you stay."
"Do you want me to go?" he asked.
"Yes." I tell him.
"Okay." He says and leaves. I feel terrible. I'm having his baby and I barely have been a girlfriend to him since I found out I was pregnant. I know it was cruel but I had to be there with Paris. I headed upstairs hitting myself for the way I'd treated Jess. When I got to Paris's room I sat down on her bed and rubbed her back. She threw a piece of paper at me.
"There! They don't want me! Harvard doesn't want me! I was supposed to go to Harvard!" she cries.
"I know you were. But Harvard's not the only school for you. I mean there's Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Colombia, and Brown. There are so many more schools that you will be accepted into." I tell her.
"That's not the point! The point is I was going to Harvard! Why not? Why can't I go to Harvard?" Paris yells.
"I don't know Paris. I don't know. The people at the Harvard admission office are stupid." I tell her.
"No. No they're not. They let Jim Burden in."
"Jim Burden's a character from My Antonia, Paris. He's not real."
"I know who took my place! It just hit me! Natalie Portman!"
"She did not take your place she's been going there for like three years!"
"Fine! Then who! Who took my place? Huh? Because I'll kill them. Seriously!"
"I have no doubt." I say and at this Paris starts sobbing. I hug her.
"It's just not fair." She cries and I nod my head.

Jess-
I was so annoyed. I was going to spend the night with my girlfriend and she just sent me home. Without saying she was sorry. Just then the phone rings. I pick it up. "Hello" I answer irritably.
"Hey" Rory says.
"Hi" I reply even more upset.
"I'm sorry. I should have said that I was sorry to you before you left. Trust me though Paris was a mess. A big mess. She's sleeping now so that's why I'm calling you. I'm sorry about everything. Me getting pregnant…." She says.
"Not all your fault…" I cut her off.
"For not being a good girlfriend. I'm driving you away. I'm driving you away. I'm going to end up just like my mother. You're not going to want anything to do with me…"
"Rory. You know my father left me too right?" I say.
"No. I didn't." She replies shakily.
"Yeah he did. He left the day after I was born. He just got scared and ran."
"Mine was going to stay, marry my mom, but she didn't want to get married so young. So shortly after I was born he left. Gone. To California. His parents don't talk to me because they blame me for dad not getting into Princeton. I see him every once in a while, but it's not a great relationship." She tells me.
"It's not your fault that your dad didn't get into Princeton." I tell her.
"I know, but I always thought that maybe if I could get into Princeton. Go to Princeton. That maybe they'd love me." She whispers.
"Well if they don't love you for being Rory. Well then you don't need them. You have plenty of people who love you. Your mom, Your Grandma and Grandpa, Your dad, Luke, Sookie, Lane, Paris, Taylor, Miss. Patty, Babbette, Morey, Your Great grandmother, and me." I tell her.
"What?" she says quietly.
"Need I repeat the list?" I ask her.
"No…It's just you never said you loved me…I mean it was implied and I knew…but you never said it in so many words." She struggles through.
"Well I do love you." I tell her.
"I love you too." She says and we share a moment of non-awkward silence before she adds, "I got to go before I wake up Paris."
"All right. Goodnight see you tomorrow."
"Yeah you will." She says before she hangs up. Why can she always make everything okay in the world after I talkto her?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lorelei-
I have no clue what to do. Rory's pregnant at seventeen. How am I going to handle this? Sure I had Rory when I was sixteen. I can help her handle her pregnancy. But what about me? What do I do? How should I handle it? Now I know how my parents felt.
I'm annoyed that Rory got pregnant. I should have put her on the pills as soon as he started dating that ass. She was supposed to have it better than me. She really was. This wasn't supposed to happen to her. It wasn't supposed to happen to me either.
I was supposed to go to Yale. Yes, despite what most people would believe I was smart enough to go. I wanted to go. I had got a great SAT. I was already to go. And then I got pregnant. And everything changed. I decided to give up Yale for Rory. I love Rory and don't regret the decision. But I don't want her to give up Harvard for her child.
That's why my dad pressures her to go to Yale. He wants to see her live out my destiny. That' why I get so mad when he does that. If she goes to Yale, she will become the person who I want to be. I want Rory to get a good education, but not at Yale.
And my parents. We'd gotten closer. Especially my mom and I. And now that's all gone. All the hard work I put into the relationship. Gone! Even though I deny it, I love having my mother as a part of my life. And now things will go back to they way they were.
I know what I need to do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emily-
Rory's pregnant. Well. Well. This is just what happened to Lorelei. She was going to have it all, but then she let it slip away and got pregnant. I love both of them. I know Rory knows it. But Lorelei…I doubt she does know how much I love her.
It's bazaar. I'm angrier with Lorelei than with Rory. Why? Well Lorelei had a teen pregnancy…and now Rory has one? How I miss the old days when Lorelei only had a teenage pregnancy. The doorbell rings. Who in god's name is coming this late? I open the door. I'm shocked by what I see.
"I need you." Lorelei sobs. I forget my anger and hug her. For the first time ever Lorelei needed me.
