-1A/N: Teacher Workdays are the best
Also this is set four months after Rory and Jess get back from Barcelona. This chapter kind of sucks but whatever.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunshine streaming through the open blinds woke up Rory. She tried to escape it by rolling over, it didn't work. With a groan she opened her eyes and sat up.
She briefly remembered Jess having to go into work early before she was overwhelmed with nausea. Rory quickly ran to the bathroom. She leaned over the toilet and emptied out the contents over her stomach. She realized she'd been doing that a lot lately. Rory brushed her teeth before exiting the bathroom.
The phone rang and Rory ran to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Fruit of my loins! Why are you panting? Did I interrupt something dirty?"
"No. I was in the bathroom and I heard the phone ring so I rushed to answer it. I thought it might be important, silly me."
"Mean. So, what's up?"
"I don't feel good, I think I have the flu or something."
"Aww, that sucks. Do you want mama to come over?"
"Yes."
"It's nice to know married life hasn't changed you."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory had fallen asleep after her and Lorelai said their goodbyes. She woke up to persistent knocking. She opened the door to reveal a smiling Lorelai.
"You cooked? Did you burn the house down?" Rory asked as she noticed the food in her mother's arms.
"You are hilarious. Actually, it's from Luke's."
Rory opened the door wider to let Lorelai pass. Lorelai started setting up the food on a nearby table.
"Mashed potatoes, chicken noodle soup, two pieces of cherry pie and lots and lots of coffee."
"Aw Luke remembered."
"So how you feeling kid?"
"Horrible."
"Did you take anything? Aspirin or that icky Dimetapp stuff?"
"I took aspirin about an hour ago."
"Okay then, let's eat."
They both took a seat on the floor and began to eat "The Sick Gilmore Food Remedy."
"That's disgusting." Lorelai pointed to whatever Rory was eating.
"What? It's good."
"It smells funny."
"You look funny."
"Oh very mature, Rory."
Rory stuck her tongue out and Lorelai returned the gesture.

Jess came home early to find his wife asleep on the couch. He put his keys in the bowl by the door and took off his jacket.
"When did you get home?"
"Just now."
"How was work?"
"Eh."
"That bad, huh?"
"So how was your day?" He asked sitting beside her on the couch.
"Blah. My mom came over and we had lunch."
"Are you okay?" Jess asked taking in her appearance.
"I'm…" She couldn't get the sentence out. The nausea came back again and she took off towards the bathroom.
"Rory?" Jess asked as he knocked on the door.
He heard her unlock the door.
"Are you sure your okay?" He asked as he opened the door.
"I'm fine, really. I think I have the flu."
Jess crouched down in front of her.
"I think you need to go to the doctor." He said as he pushed some hair out of her face.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory and Jess were sitting in Dr. Stevens' office. She was sitting on one of those little beds covered in paper and he was sitting on a chair off to the side. They were waiting for the Dr.Stevens to return with Rory's test results.
Dr.Stevens walked into the small room with a smile on his face.
"Well, Mrs.Mariano," He said looking at her chart , "You don't have the flu. You're pregnant."
Rory smiled.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"Yupp, we guess you're around 6 weeks. Congratulations."
Dr.Stevens left the young couple alone.
Rory put her hand on her stomach.
"I'm going to have a baby." She whispered.
She looked up at Jess and noticed he was smiling.
"We're going to have a family." He said.
"I know."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory was on the phone with Lorelai in the living room.
"I went to the doctor today."
"What he say?"
"I'm pregnant."
"My baby's having a baby." She said.
"Are you happy?"
"I'm ecstatic."
"You know you're going to be a grandma, right?"
"Yeah, but I'll be a hot grandma."
Rory laughed.
"Where are you?"
"The diner. Why?"
"People are staring at you, aren't they?"
"Yupp. Can I make an announcement, please?"
"Sure, why not? It'd be a lot faster that way."
Lorelai squealed and put her cell on the counter. She stood up and cleared her throat.
"I have an announcement to make."
With all eyes on her, Lorelai stated, "Rory's pregnant!"
On her end, Rory could hear people clapping.
"Their kid is going to be gorgeous." She heard Miss Patty say.
Lorelai picked her phone up off the counter.
"Are you still there?"
"Yeah."
"They're so happy. Luke says congratulations."
"Tell him I said thank you."
"Aye aye, captain."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So how did Liz and Tj take it?" Rory asked walking into the study.
"They're excited about becoming grandparents. What about your mom?" He replied pulling her down on his lap.
"Good. She's happy to become a hot grandma. Oh, Luke sends his congratulations."
"Why do I have a feeling all of Stars Hollow knows already?"
"Because they do. Mom made an announcement in the diner, thought it be a lot quicker."
"Are we telling the Gilmore's?"
"I guess we should."
Rory gave him a quick peck on the lips before getting up. She walked back into the living room and dialed her grandparents phone number.
"Hello?"
"Grandpa, it's Rory."
"Rory, what a pleasant surprise."
"So, how are you?"
"I'm very good. How are you?"
"I'm good. I have good news."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'm pregnant."
"Well, that is good news. Congratulations."
"Thank you, Grandpa. Do you..think that maybe you could tell grandma?"
"Of course. Now you let us know if there's anything we can do to help."
"Thank-you. Goodbye, Grandpa."
"Goodbye, Rory."
Emily walked in on the last part of the conversation.
"Rory called?"
"Yes."
"What she want?"
"She wanted to tell us that she's pregnant."
Emily smiled.
"Oh, it'll be so nice to hear the patter of little feet around here again."
"It would."
