AN- Long time, no update. But you'll be thrilled to hear that I intend to put a lot into this, I intend to finish it on the exact day I started it. So it would have taken me a year, so expect a lot of updates to come.

Something So Simple
Father, mothers, and the valedictorian
"Jess, you want pizza?" Jimmy asked me.
"No, I'm more a hamburger guy." I reply coolly.
Sasha shoots Jimmy a look. I know the look I've gotten it a few times from Lorelai, it's the who the fuck does this guy think he is look. I just shrug and roll my eyes, as my father gets more confused.
"Well we can get you a hamburger for you if you want." Jimmy says.
I think, "Nah you know I'm more up for breakfast right now."
Sasha's eyes grow wider. And I can tell that she thinks I'm an arrogant son of a bitch. Maybe I am, but she better not tell me that. Lizzie annoys me like crazy, but don't you dare insult her in front of me.
Jimmy sighs, "Jess let's go for a walk."
"I feel like a bike ride." I snikered.
Jimmy was getting angry, "I don't care what you feel like!"
"Fine." I say. And go outside before Jimmy is ready to leave. I walk ahead of him and he groans.
"Jess! Wait up!" Jimmy yells.
I roll my eyes, "You said I had to walk, you never said I had to walk next to you."
Jimmy runs and catches up with me, "You know something? You're a real pain in the ass."
I laugh, "Tell me something I haven't heard before."
"You think this is a joke? It's not good to be a pain in the ass." He lectures.
"Like father, Like Son." I say.
He runs up grabs my arm, "Don't you ever talk to me like that again!"
"LET GO OF ME!" I shout, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
"What the hell is wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with you?" He asks.
I look at him, "I want to go home."
"Then go!" Jimmy snaps, "It's not my loss, apparently you're more like your father then you thought."
"What the hell does that mean?" I question.
He takes a breath, "It means when things get tough, you flee."
I thought this over, and then came to one conclusion. I couldn't be like Jimmy.
"I'll stay." I tell him.
My mother pulled up, in front of the restaurant, and I got in the front seat of her car, and she examined me.
"Nice clothes, Lorelai." She said sardonically.
I sigh, I was wearing what some may call a slutty outfit, a short skirt and a large v-neck shirt, "It was a date, mom."
"And you dress like you want to go to bed with the person?" My mother asks coolly.
I groan, "Mom, you're supposed to dress sexy on a date!"
"Pssh, you don't need to dress that way. You can win men over with your personality." My mother tells me.
I sigh again, "Fine mom, you win. I won't dress slutty."
My mother grins, "Thank you."
I roll my eyes.
There's an awkward silence, "Lorelai, why are you scared of me?"
"Me, scared of you? That's a good joke mom." I say.
"You are scared of me. You're scared of me and men." She tells me.
"Oh really, explain this to me." I reply.
"You're scared of being abandoned. You're scared to give your heart to a man, because then you are giving him the power to destroy you like Christopher did." My mother informed me.
"That's such bull shit." I tell her.
My mother laughs, "It's true. Why couldn't you marry Max? Why did you go out on a date with pen man?"
"I didn't marry Max, because I didn't love him, and pen guy was just a date." I tell her.
"Okay." Emily says.
I think, "But still even is if this is true, why am I scared of you?"
"You're scared that I'm going to die before you, and you're scared that if you become close to me then when I pass on you will lose me forever." My mother whispers.
I was speechless.
"Hello this is Paris, I cannot reach the phone right now because I have better things to do like read Shakespeare, and what if I don't want to pick up the damn phone? Huh! Ever thought of that?" Paris's answering machine said.
I sighed, "Look Paris, this is Rory. Please we need to talk."
I hung up, and got back to writing my valedictorian speech. So far I had Well we are finally here, we are finally leaving…"
Yeah not great. I sighed, and threw my head on the table.
"That's not good for the baby." I hear my mother say.
I look up to see my mother, "Hey you're home early."
"Yeah well my date turned out to have a passion for pens." My mom told me.
I giggled, "Pens?"
Mom nodded, "Yes pens, and he wanted to show me his collection."
"Seriously?" I ask.
"Do you think I could make this stuff up?" Mom questions.
"Yes," I smile, "Actually I think you could."
"I'd hit you, but it's bad for the baby." She teases.
I smile at her.
"So, whatcha doing?" She asks.
I shrug, "Writing my valedictorian speech."
Her eyes grew wide, "You made valedictorian?"
"Yeah, I beat Paris by a one thousandth of a point."
She kisses my cheek, "That's great kid."
"I guess…" I reply.
"This is everything, you ever worked for, and now you got it, despite everything. You should be damn proud." My mother says excitedly.
"I guess, " I start, "I mean, I'm so happy. I wanted to jump up and down when I found out, and then it hit me. Everyone's going to be like what is this school doing? What happened? Has Chilton, really gotten that pathetic to have a pregnant girl as valedictorian."
My mom sighs, "Look Rory, people are always going to talk, you might as well give them something to talk about."
And suddenly I knew what to write.
AN: Next chapter is graduation, and tell me what you thought. If you hate it explain why. And if you loved it, yay!
