Something So Simple
Lorelai's Confessions
AN: Sorry school's been killer. Just for anyone's personal benefit, we left off with Lorelai turning to Emily for help. Jess telling Rory he loved her. And Rory comforting Paris when she didn't get into Harvard. This is the update.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emily-
"Mom I'm so scared." Lorelai cries. I know her pain. I went through the same thing. I watched the smartest girl I've ever seen get pregnant and skip out on Yale.
"I know." I whisper to her.
"Mom, it's unbelievable. What the hell is Rory going to do? She won't get to go to Harvard…" Lorelai continues to weep. I honestly think, I know it's wrong but if Lorelai couldn't get into Yale then how is Rory going to be able to go to Harvard.
"Lorelai don't think that way." I tell her. This is what I did. I doubted my daughter. I should have never doubted my daughter. That's what drew her away.
"Rory's going to be a mom." Lorelai says I believe mainly to herself. That's when it hit's me. Rory will have a child. And she will be that child's mother. And Lorelai will be the grandmother. And I a great grandmother. I wonder if teen pregnancy will become a Gilmore tradition.
"School's can't turn her away because she's pregnant." I tell Lorelai quietly.
"Yale wouldn't let me in when I got pregnant." Lorelai argues.
"It'll be fine." I tell her. And then quickly add, "At least the schooling issue."
"Yeah I guess." Lorelai gives a weak smile.
"Do you want to stay here for tonight?" I ask.
"No thank you. I should really go." Lorelai says.
"Okay then." I agree in a tone barely above a whisper.
Lorelai is on her way out and at the door she turns around, "Mom. I finally understand what you went through." I smile because that's all I can do. Our relationship isn't perfect, but it's a start.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory-
I sigh as I wake up in the guest room at the Geller's home. It's a long night that I barely remember except for the part where Paris didn't get into Harvard. Paris didn't get into Harvard? There is no way I'll ever get into Harvard. I rub my stomach. I've messed up. It hurts to say it but perfect Rory isn't so perfect.
On the other hand, Jess loves me! YAY! Jess loves me! Me. Rory Gilmore. Incase you couldn't tell I'm sooooo happy, because Jess loves me! All right maybe I'm a little too excited. Calming down…
I check my voice mail. I have one message from my dad. He's coming to town I guess I'll have to tell him. Oh well at least I don't have to tell the town yet. I sigh and go find Paris.
"How are you?" I ask.
"I'm depressed." Paris mumbled.
"Do you feel like spending the weekend in Stars Hollow?" I ask her.
"I said I was depressed not crazy." She snapped.
"Okay." I mutter.
"Look you should go." She tells me.
"Are you sure?" I ask nervously.
"Positive" I raise an eyebrow, " I'll be fine."
"I know you will but are you sure you want me to go?" I repeat my question.
"Yes Rory. Go! I'll see you soon." She huffs.
"If you insist..." I start.
"I insist." She cuts me off.
"I have to call my mom then." I say mainly to myself.
"Whatever floats your boat sister." Paris mumbled and I called mom.
"Hello?" mom voice said sleepily.
"I need you to pick me up." I tell her.
"Where are you?" mom asked.
"Same place you dropped me off last night." I tell her.
"Oh…! What place?" mom mumbles.
"Paris's house." I tell her.
"Oh okay. I'll be there in like an hour." She replies sleepily.
"Okay." I respond.
"See you then." Mom says.
"See you then." I agree and we both hang up at the same time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lorelai-
As I drive to pick Rory up. I can't help to think that I'm going insane. Me, wanting help from my mom? How scary is that? How wrong is that? How crazy is that? Was I smoking a few joints? Apparently so. I mean I never go to my mother for help.
She must have been smoking something too, because she welcomed me with open arms. I mean who does that? Who welcomes their daughter whom they hate with welcome arms? And then it hits me. Maybe mom doesn't hate me.
I'm so stupid. So stupid. Of course she doesn't hate me. How could a mother hate her daughter? Even if you can't stand the site of your daughter, you still love her. How could I possibly have thought that being a mother myself?
I'm a terrible daughter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory-
When mom picked me up she was crying. "What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Rory don't hate me." Mom whispered.
"I don't think I could ever hate you." I tell her.
"Rory there's something's you don't know about me. These are things I'm embarrassed to tell you. Embarrassed to tell myself. " She whispers.
"What?" I ask. I am completely confused.
"When I got pregnant I was just like you. Except my dream was Yale. The only thing that made us different was that, you do everything to please your family. I didn't try to please them. When I met your dad. I don't think I've ever been that in love Rory. I loved your father. I slept with him. And you're here. Which I'm grateful for just so you know. When I told my parents I was pregnant. They reacted terribly. My father and mother screamed. I guess that was the reaction I'd been expecting. They told Chris's parents. Those four wanted us to get married as you know I thought we were to young. I told them no. And it went downhill from there." She says.
"You wanted to go to Yale?" I ask her.
"Yes. And from now on please don't interrupt." Mom answers.
"Sorry." I whispered.
"My mother took it terrible. She tried to be involved but I wouldn't let her. That hurt her a lot. Especially when I drove myself to the hospital when I went into labor. I had you Rory. I was thrilled when I got back mom and dad played with you. And so did Chris until he left. He left about a month before I left grandma and grandpa's house. He loved you Rory. There should be no doubt in your mind that he loved you. He just left, and it killed me. Then I got turned away by Yale, Rory. I took you and ran. And until now I didn't know that when I ran, I took a piece of my mother with me. That I could never return. I'm a terrible daughter Rory. A terrible daughter" she finishes with tears in her eyes.
"Mom that's the past. I don't hate you." I tell her. She cries.
"Rory?" Mom whispers.
"Yeah?" I answer.
"Remember when I was engaged to Max. And at my bridal party I called your father. And I told you it was the Long Island Ice Tea." she turns to me looking for acknowledgement, I nod and she continues." I lied. There was a story that your grandmother told me about wanting to know if the person you loved was thinking about you right before the wedding. Well I called your dad to see if he was thinking about me."
" You still love dad?" I ask her.
" Rory I will always love your father. Until the day I die." Mom tells me.
"What?" I ask confused.
"Rory the love I have for your father will never disappear it's to strong. I'll love other people. But your father will always be someone I love. If only because he's your father." She tells me. And cries. We finally stop in front of Luke's.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jess-
Lorelai and Rory have just come in Lorelai's in tears. I sigh my afternoon with Rory is gone. Shame really. Wait she's coming to talk to me hope's not lost yet.
"Hey. Has anyone ever told you that you look like James Dean?" she asks me.
"I mainly get that I act like James Dean." I tell her.
"Ah well that too." She smiles.
"How's Paris?" I ask her.
"I don't want to talk about Paris right now." She tells me.
"Okay." I reply.
"So do you want to sit on a park bench and stare at our shoes?" she asks.
"How about we have our From Here To Eternity moment in front of the superglue?" I ask.
"No. Dean will be there." She tells me.
"Fine." I reply
All of a sudden the bell rings. And a man screams. "She's pregnant. What the hell Lor? She's pregnant? Rory's pregnant? Why? How? This is unbelievable." And I see Miss. Patty run out of the diner.
"Smooth Chris!" Lorelai yells. I can only assume that's Rory's father.
"What do you mean?'" Chris asks angrily.
"Screaming in a public place. In Stars Hollow you can't even scream in a private place." Lorelai snaps.
"They didn't know?" he asks calming down a bit.
"No Chris they didn't." Lorelai replies.
"How could this happen?" Chris asks.
"Well you did scream it out in front of everyone." Lorelai points out.
"You know what I mean." Chris snaps.
"I think you know how that happens Chris. You of all people should know." Lorelai snaps right back.
"How and why did they…" Chris stumbles.
"Do you think I was there?" Lorelai asks him.
"No but Lor this wasn't suppose to happen." Rory's dad is actually crying.
"It did though." Lorelai says as Rory walks over to her family.
"Rory I'm so sorry." Chris tells her and they hug.
"We're going to go." Rory announces.
"Okay." I call. They leave five minute later Taylor comes in.
"Taylor get out!" Luke screams.
"Give me a knife." Taylor says.
"What?" Luke asks confused.
"I've been selected to kill him. We had a vote I won." Taylor says.
"Who were you running against Kirk?" I ask.
"I wouldn't be talking if I were you. And yes I ran against Kirk." Taylor replies.
"Get out Taylor!" Luke repeats.
"Fine." Taylor mumbles and leaves. Okay that was strange even by Stars Hollow standards.
