"Hailey I need to talk to you" Rory cried into the phone.
"Ror? What's wrong!?" Hailey asked.
"Can you come over?" Rory asked with a shaky voice.
"I'll be over in a couple of hours okay Rory!" Hailey said as she hung up the phone quickly.
Hailey drove from tree hill to Hartford within an hour and a half instead of the two hours and fifteen minutes it usually took to get there. Tristan had left that week and Rory was heartbroken all she would do was take care of Jamie and school nothing fun she wouldn't take a break at all. Hailey knew something was wrong because Rory never cracks this quickly.
"Rory I'm here sweetheart are you okay?" Hailey asked letting her self in the apartment with her key.
"I'm in here" Rory called from the bedroom.
"Oh Rory what's wrong?" Hailey asked seeing Rory crumpled in a ball on Tristan's side of the bed.
"Hailey I'm Pregnant" Rory whispered.
"Oh Rory its going to be okay sweetheart" Hailey said wrapping Rory up in her arms.
"I cant do this Hailey I talked to Yale this morning I dropped out, they said because of my grandpa and how well I did so far they are saving me a place on this list for when I can go back, I have money to support me and Jamie but I don't know what I'm going to do about the baby I mean I've thought about Tristan and I having a baby but with him gone I don't know if I can do this and I don't want to tell him cause that would make him feel even worse about having to leave" Rory ranted as she cried into Hailey's shoulder.
"Rory move to Tree Hill, Karen's their I'm their and Nathan's their, we'll all help you look after Jamie and help you with the pregnancy" Hailey said.
"But I can't truly just up and leave can I?" Rory asked.
"The apartments paid for you can rent it out and come move in with me and Nathan, he and I already talked about this when Tristan told us he had to leave" Hailey said.
"I guess, Hailes I think I want to move soon," Rory said.
"No problem sweetie we can move you in by next week, and how about we keep the baby a secret until Tristan comes home huh?" Hailey said.
"Okay but only because I don't want him to feel bad about having to leave" Rory said serious.
"I promise I wont say a thing, I'll only tell Karen and Nathan and I'll make sure they don't say anything," Hailey said.
"Thanks Hailes" Rory said a small smile poking out at the side of her mouth.

"I'm going to miss you little girl," Lorelai said through tears.
"I know mom and I know in the last year in a half you've lost me but I love you and I'll be around on some weekends but I need to be close to him and this is the only way," Rory said desperately trying to please her mother.
"I know babe, you do what you have to for your family I know what its like" Lorelai said kissing Rory's head.
"I'll see you soon mom" Rory said hugging Lorelai one more time before walking towards her car.
As Rory pulled out of the parking spot she looked in the rearview mirror her mother was waving goodbye from her apartment building, Jamie was asleep in his car seat and Tristan and her baby was growing inside of her. It's going to be a long 8 and a half months Rory thought before focusing completely on the road again.

Rory talked Jamie into his bed in his new bedroom in Nathan and Hailey's house. She truly couldn't thank those to enough they put her and Jamie up in a house and they put up with her moping in the kitchen while she listened to country music, Tristan had made a cd of his favorite country songs and Rory couldn't stop listening to them, they were all slow sad love song's that Rory fell in love with.
Rory walked towards her room, she looked at the walls were countless photo's were of her and Tristan and Tristan and Jamie, thinking about the days a couple of months ago when she was complete, she wished for that again but deep down she needed this to happen she needed to learn how to breathe without him every second of everyday like she was accustomed too.
She lied down on her bed putting her hand on her growing belly and smiled. Only 5 more months till the baby came and only 8 till Tristan came home, she could wait that's what she told herself and Tristan on the phone when he called.
"Mommy is Daddy ever coming home?" Jamie asked with tears in his eyes.
"Oh sweetie daddy will be home soon right after the baby is born" Rory said pulling Jamie next to here on the bed, rubbing his back till he fell asleep.
Soon they were both curled up together asleep and that's how Nathan and Hailey found them, Hailey grabbed her camera and took a picture of this. She was making a book for Tristan, it was detailed pictures of Rory's pregnancy, she knew he was better off not knowing about the baby till he came home but she knew he would have wanted to know about everything.

"Is that her?" Dan asked.
"Yeah that's her," Karen said smiling as Rory served coffee to a couple; subconsciously she was rubbing her belly, while talking to the couple.
"She's beautiful I guess he did do good for himself" Dan said.
"He did but at this moment I know he is hurting being away from Jamie and Rory, he doesn't even know she's pregnant Rory said she couldn't be the one held accountable if Tristan started going crazy trying to get home to her and getting himself hurt, she said she wouldn't and we aren't aloud to tell him" Karen explained.
"She's a brave girl" Dan managed to say after finding his voice.
"Not many women would stay by his side right now" Karen commented.
"He's a lucky man," Dan said before walking out of the café.
"Who was that?" Rory asked after walking over to Karen.
"Tristan's father Dan" Karen said before patting her back and walking towards more customers.
"I'll see you later Karen I have to go to my Doctors appointment" Rory called while walking towards the door.
"Bye sweetheart" Karen said waving to Rory as she walked out.

"Mrs. Dugrey" the nurse called into the waiting room.
"That's me," Rory said getting out of the chair.
"Right this way dear" the nurse said kindly showing her into an examination room.
"Hi there Rory, you look great!" Dr. Michaels said sweetly.
"Hi Dr. Michaels" Rory said to the woman.
"So I know I asked last time but do you want to know the sex of your baby? Last time you said you weren't sure at the moment" Dr. Michaels said.
"Actually I do want to know, I had this dream that it was a baby girl, the suspense is killing me" Rory joked.
"Well let me go through the file and see," Dr. Michaels laughed.
Rory waited patiently playing with the edge of the gown she was forced to wear, she couldn't stand it anymore she needed to know.
"Well Rory it looks like Tristan is coming home to a little girl, that dream of yours was right" Dr. Michaels smiled.
"Thank you" Rory said she couldn't contain her smile anymore.
