Rory was sitting in Luke's fidgeting with her fingers. Lorelai came in the door and sat next to her.
'Are you nervous?' she asked seeing Rory's fingers moving constantly.
'No, why?'
'Cause you're all fidgety and the last time you were like this was your wedding day.'
'I was not!' Rory said frustrated.
'Sheesh take a chill pill!''
'A chill pill? I'm not, not chilling!'
'Okay I'm sorry.' Lorelai said backing off.
'It's okay.' She said not frustrated anymore.
'You okay?'
'Yea why?'
'I don't know. You seem really, umm well moody. Is it your womanly week?'
'No, Tristan asked me that too when I talked to him.'
'Oh yea, how did that go?'
'We bantered. I mean you'd think that now that we're married it would stop but it's still there if not more.'
'I know. So why did Tristan ask you if you did?'
'Umm because I think we argued about when I decided I wanted to marry Tristan. I got pissed off for no reason.'
'Hmmm.'
'Hey mom can I ask you a question?'
'Ahuh, what is it?'
'What would be reasons for not having your cycle for a while?
'Umm, well, if you're on some kinda medicine or if you have a disease or menopause. Oh and being pregnant.' (A/N: just so you know, I have no idea if these reasons are true except I think two.) Rory thought about it. Pregnant. It all made sense...nausea-morning sickness, mood swings-hormones acting all crazy, and a stopped cycle—oh and not to forget the recent addiction to Chocolate milk.
'Oh.' Rory said and looked down.
'Why?'
'Cause the last time I remember having my period was a few weeks before Tristan left. Hey mom?'
'Yea?'
'I think I'm pregnant.'
'What? How did you come to this conclusion?'
'Not having regular cycles for about two months or more, being nauseas ALL the time, and mood swings. Not to mention the addiction I've gotten for chocolate milk.'
'No!! Not a healthy craving!!' Lorelai cried.
'So what do you think?' Rory asked. Lorelai broke into a smile.
'What do I think? I think that I have to have a party for you! Rory this is awesome!' Lorelai chirped and threw her arms around Rory. By this time they had the whole diner's attention.
'What's all the commotion?' Luke asked gruffly coming out from the back.
'Rory's pregnant!' Everyone in the diner was instantly writing and talking about the latest news.
'Well it's not for sure, but it all makes sense.'
'Congratulations! I'm sure Tristan will be thrilled!'
'Tristan.' Rory said quietly.
'What?'
'Tristan—he's gonna miss it all!' Rory said slumping in stool. Luke and Lorelai looked at each other before looking back at Rory.
'Sweetie I'm sure Bible Biy will love you just as much as he did before!'
'No I mean me and Tristan always talked about movies or things we would do when I got pregnant...and now he's gonna miss it!' Lorelai frowned.
'Movie night?' Lorelai asked. Rory nodded but then spoke.
'What about Luke and Gabe?'
'Chuckie Cheeze's?'
'Oh come on! You really think Luke would go through with that?'
'Good point...they'll figure out something.'
'Okay thanks.'
'Sure.'
GILMORE HOUSE:
'Okay tomorrow at 2:30.' Lorelai said carrying a bag of chips and setting into the couch next to Rory.
'God, why am I so scared?'
'Because you want your hubby with you!'
'I just wish he could come.' Rory was pulled into a comforting hug. Rory and Lorelai fell asleep on the couch and woke up the next morning. They went to Luke's and then Rory left to get a test done. Rory was sitting in the room waiting for the doctor to come back. She was looking through a magazine when the doctor came back.
'Okay, so?' she asked.
'Congratulations, you're gonna be a mommy.' Rory smiled.
'Thank you.'
'Sure, if you go up to the desk they'll get you a good Obstetrician.'
'Okay.' Rory got a card of a doctor and left. She made an appointment for two weeks away. Rory got many congratulations and then finally her appointment came. It went smoothly.
'Okay Mrs. Dugrey, the baby is looking wonderful and you're due January 12th making you about 20 weeks along or four months.'
'Okay, thank you.' Rory made another appointment then went to tell her mom the news.
'Yay!! YOU'RE ACTUALLY PREGNANT!!!!' Lorelai sang.
'No, the first time they were just kidding,' Rory said sarcastically.
'No need for that tone!' jess came in the diner with his girlfriend.
'Hey Rory.' Rory smiled and got up. She went to hug Jess. Amy watched confused. The two had never met.
'Are you Amy?' Rory asked the girl.
'Yea.'
'Hi, since Jess misplaced his manners I'll introduce myself. I'm Rory, jess is my step-father's nephew so he's kinda my step cousin.'
'Oh yea, hi.' The two shook hands.
'hey Amy.' Lorelai said.
'Hey.'
'Wait you two know each other?' Rory asked.
'Yea I met her about 2 or 3 weeks ago.'
'Ah.'
'So, Rory how far along are you?' Amy asked.
'What?'
'Your pregnant—arent you?'
'Yea—how?' Rory hadn't told Jess yet.
'My sister, she just had a baby.'
'Oh okay, 20 weeks as of I guess today. I had an appointment today.'
'Oh.'
'So, why didn't I know about this?' Jess asked.
'I haven't talked to you in two weeks which was when I found out.'
'Oh well congrads.' He said hugging her.
'Thanks.'
'Tristan's gonna be surprised. Happy but surprised.'
'Don't remind her.' Lorelai said. Jess understood and left it alone. Rory's cell rang. Jess saw it and picked it up since the other three were talking.
'Hello? Rory Gilmore's cell.'
'Hi, is this Rory Dugrey's phone?' a stern voice asked.
'Yes.'
'Is she available?'
'Jess no cells!' Luke warned.
'Sure. Rory it's for you.' Jess handed it to her.
'Hello? Oh wait hold on, your breaking up.' She said and ran outside.
'Okay, yes?' she asked.
'You're related to Tristan Dugrey, correct?'
'Yes, he's my husband, why?'
'There's been an accident—' Rory fell to the ground. Jess saw and ran outside. Rory was crying and the phone was on the ground.
'hello?' Jess asked.
'Umm yes please tell Mrs. Dugrey that Tristan is fine but he'll be coming home in a month. Someone will call with further details on this matter.'
'Thank you.' Jess said hanging up. He sat down next to Rory on the sidewalk.
'Rory, he's okay!'
'There's been—been an accident.'
'He's okay.'
'How?'
'You dropped the phone, and you didn't hear the part about ho he's alive! He's injured but not dead! He's coming home in a month.' Rory looked up confused.
'What?' Yea, he's probably to weak to travel now so he's recuperating and then he's gonna be flown home!' Rory wiped away the tears. Lorelai and Amy came out.
'Oh babe, what happened?' Lorelai asked immediately by her side.
'Tristan was injured.' Jess said for her.
'Oh Rory, I'm sorry!'
'I hate to intrude but who is he?'
'The best god damn looking man ever.'
'MOM!!' Rory said blushing.
'Oh sorry next to Jess of course.'
'Thanks. He's the father of Rory's baby.' Jess answered for Amy. Rory looked at him then laughed.
'What?'
'A normal answer would've been to tell her that he's my husband you idiot!'
'Well that too.' They all laughed. Tears were still in Rory's eyes but they weren't falling anymore. They finally made it back inside and Luke hearing what happened didn't even question them when they asked for coffee—even though it was caffeinated. The next for weeks went slowly. Rory was sitting eating ice cream when she looked at her calendar. The next day was September 20th. Rory looked at her watch which read 8:40pm and she immediately picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.
'Hello?' the voice asked.
'Jess, hi, it's me.'
'Oh hey, what can I do for you?'
'Tomorrow's the 20th, will you pick me up at 7:30 am?'
'7:30? And why? I didn't know you knew that was time. What's tomorrow?'
'Tristan comes home!!'
'Right, and you called at 8:45 the night before?'
'Yes, his flight comes in at 11:13.'
'Okay why am I driving you and why 7:30?'
'You're driving me cause you love me and I don't want too, and at 7:30 because I don't wanna miss him!'
'I'll pick you up at 9 tomorrow morning.'
'8.'
'8:30.'
'Fine.' Rory mumbled.
'Okay now go get some sleep.'
'Yes, sir.' She said then hung up the phone and went to bed. The next morning Rory was sitting in her kitchen in several layers of p.j.'s when Jess came.
'Hey Rory, it's 8:30.'
'Oh hi, okay.' Rory got up and returned wearing a pair of fleece pants along with a long-sleeve shirt and sweatshirt and carrying a yarn blanket.
'Ready?' she asked.
'Rory, you do know that it's 75 degrees out right?' Jess asked.
'Yea.' She said but didn't make any indication of dressing lighter.
'Okay.' Rory followed him to his car and climbed in the front. When they got to the airport, they parked and went inside. They passed a pizza place that had just opened. They were serving breakfast foods.
'Jess can I get some pizza? I only had chocolate milk for breakfast.' Jess gave her a strange look then walked her over to the place.
'Excuse me but do you serve pizza this early?' Jess asked a guy.
'Uh well breakfast pizza.'
'Rory you want that?'
'What's on it?' she asked.
'Umm well ham, cheese, spinach, onions. Like an omlette basically.'
' Do you have white pizza?'
'No, not yet.' Rory frowned and looked at the floor.
'Please.' She asked looking back up.
'I'm sorry but we don't sell regular pizza until 11:00.'
'Hey uh Rory, I'll find you something why don't you go sit over there.' Jess said pointing to a few seats. Rory nodded solemnly but obeyed.
'Is she your wife?'
'No, why?'
'Cause she's pregnant and you handled her well.' The pizza guy said.
'Oh no, she's my best friend. If you could possibly make her some kind of exception for her unusual craving she would be the happiest person you meet today guaranteed!'
'Sorry, cant.'
'Look her husband who she hasn't seen for 5 months because he's a U.S. soldier is coming back today from being injured. He doesn't know he's gonna be a father and she's already really freaked and nervous.
'I'll see what I can do.' The guy said before disappearing. He returned shortly.
'Come back in like a 1/2 hour?' he asked. Jess turned and shouted.
'Rory can you wait a half hour?' she nodded happily and ran to the man. She threw her arms around the guy hugging him.
'Thank you so, so, so, so, so, so, so much, sir!!' they guy smiled and put the pizza in the oven. The two walked away and at about 9:45 returned getting the pizza, which Rory happily ate. She finished quickly and threw away the box. They walked up to see that Tristan's flight was early by 1/2 hour. Coming in, in about 1/2 hour or so.
