A/N: Sorry for the delay. I wasn't able to write much for the last week, but things are better now, so I'm updating finally!
Rory crossed her arms self-consciously in front of her stomach. Before Logan could say anything Jess spoke.
"So is there something you want to tell me?" Jess asked, eying her.
"Well, umm I love you?" she said hesitantly.
"That's appreciated, but not really what I was looking for." Jess answered.
"It's pretty obvious I'm pregnant." Rory stated.
"Yeah.. you could say that." Jess observed.
"Okay Jess I'm between three and four months pregnant. And I couldn't tell you and I didn't tell Logan."
"But it's my baby?" Jess asked nervously.
Rory swallowed hard but didn't get a chance to answer.
"You aren't keeping it." Logan said with finality.
"What?!" asked Rory.
"There's no question, you aren't keeping it." Logan repeated. "I can't take the chance that it's not mine."
"What?" It was Jess's turn to look surprised. "Why would it be yours?"
"Why would it be yours?" Honor asked Jess, looking confused and hurt.
"Shut up." He told her. "She's my girlfriend." Jess told Logan.
"Well she was my wife." He replied.
"She may have been married to you, technically, but you didn't even share a room!" Jess exclaimed.
Rory looked somewhat helplessly from side to side. Finally she stood up.
"Okay, everyone be quiet!" She said. "Here's the deal, I'm four months pregnant, I have no idea whose it is, and I don't even know if I want to keep it, but I certainly won't take my ex husband into consideration when I make that decision! There now that's it!"
Contrary to her hopes, everyone immediately started talking again all at once.
"I thought you were just old friends!" said Honor.
"It might be Logan's?" Jess asked, shocked.
"You aren't keeping that kid!" Logan exclaimed.
"Fine, one at a time. Honor I'm sorry you got dragged into this, but get a clue! And Jess, I will explain, I promise, but yes there is pretty much an equal chance that it's Logan's. Now Logan, what the hell are you talking about? It's not your choice and it might not even be your kid."
"Oh I'm well aware of that!" Logan spat back. "But I can't take the chance that it isn't my kid. If it's my kid, fine, then you were pregnant when we got divorced. Now if it isn't my kid that means that you cheated on me, which you did, but I'm not going to look like a fool to the world because you are a whore."
"Now wait a minute!" Jess said, advancing on Logan. "If you want to talk about whores..." he said, gesturing towards Honor.
"You've gone too far." Logan shoved Jess backwards and Jess came back swinging. Rory and Honor stood helplessly watching the chaos.
Finally the two men just stood, glaring at each other.
"Stop it you two!" said Rory, feeling like a mom already. "Logan I don't care about your reputation, or what people will think of you, or anything like that. So if I decide that I don't want to have a child it'll be for my own reasons. Now I need to talk to Jess so you should probably leave. I'll be in touch with you."
"This may not be the best time to announce this" said Honor "but I'm pregnant too. And it could also be yours." she told Jess.
Jess looked at her with surprise, and some disgust. "How far along are you?" he asked, shocked.
"A month and a half" she said, shooting Rory a triumphant look.
Jess sighed and rolled his eyes. "We've only been together for three weeks. I'm assuming it's your husbands so you should go back to him. I'm sure he misses you."
Logan looked around and realized that he was fighting a losing battle, so without another word he grabbed Honor's arm and started dragging her out of the room. "This isn't over." he told the couple.
When they were left alone Jess and Rory just stood and stared at each other.
"So..." Rory said. Suddenly they weren't sure what to say. There was so much to say, to explain, to apologize for. Did Jess still feel the same? What had he been doing with Honor? The suspense hung in the air around them. Both looked down, ashamed of the choices they had made.
Rory decided to make the first move. For once, she wasn't going to be silent while important life events passed her by.
"Jess I'm sorry. The whole situation was such a mess. I was with you and Logan at the same time, at least for a couple weeks that overlapped. I wasn't sure what to do, I wanted to save my marriage if I could but at the same time I couldn't stop thinking of you. I knew I wanted to be with you, I just couldn't accept that without feeling like I tried. And then when Logan found out about us his condition to us getting divorced was that I go to Europe and not contact you for three months. I had to do it, I had to. It was the only way I could be with you."
Jess nodded slightly, acknowledging her apology. "I was hurt when I didn't hear from you. I didn't know what to believe and when I saw Logan he lied to me. I wasn't sure if he was telling the truth or not but either way, I knew he had something to do with why you were gone. Well, I know it was really wrong but I thought of the easiest way to get back at him. No, I didn't send anything to the newspaper about Honor, but I could if they fuck with us. As long as she and her husband keep their mouths closed Logan's precious family reputation will remain intact. Now.. where do we go from here?"
"Well do you forgive me?" Rory asked.
Jess nodded. "Of course I do. Rory I knew you were confused. And I shouldn't have pushed you. I just wanted to be with you so much."
"I forgive you too then." Rory said with a small smile. "So did you ever want to be a parent?"
"I never really thought about it." said Jess.
"Me neither. I mean I thought maybe someday, but this was.. well really unplanned." Rory said thoughtfully.
Before Jess could answer Honor burst back in through the door.
