Chapter 7

Jess noticed Rory become silent. He looked at her expression and saw that she looked pale.

"Rory, are you alright?" Jess anxiously asked placing a hand on her forehead.

"Y-yeah, I'm just scared of having to tell my mom. I don't know what to say and I'm not sure if I am ready for her reaction. What if she freaks out or something. And Luke, what will Luke say?" Rory hid her face in Jess's chest.

"Rory, I'm sure that your mom won't freak out. This isn't something to freak out about, it's something to celebrate. And as for Luke, well he'll get over it." Jess smirked as Rory made a startled expression.

"I'm just kidding." Jess laughed kissing Rory.

"Jess, are you truly happy about this? You're not pretending to be for my sake are you? I mean this is big. We hadn't planned or discussed this. My career is over. I should just drop out of college."

"No. You are not doing that. There's only a few months left until you graduate. You can do it Rory." Jess brushed a piece of her hair behind her ear and looked into her eyes.

"But it's going to be so hard. Work, school, and this." Rory motioned to her stomach.

"I can help you Rory, your mom and Luke will help. You aren't alone, and you don't have to go through this alone."

Rory sighed knowing that he was right. She shook her head and closed her eyes.

"What was that for?" Jess questioned.

"What was what?" Rory opened her eyes looking at Jess.

"You shook your head."

"Oh, I was shaking my head at myself for overreacting." Rory sighed again.

Jess stifled a laugh and opened the car door, somehow balancing Rory in his arms without dropping her. He set her down in the seat and closed the door. Rory watched Jess as he walked around the car and got in.

"Thanks for being so calm about this." Rory's voice was small.

"I love you." was all Jess said, taking Rory's hand in his and starting the car.

The drive home was quiet. Neither of them said a word, not out of anger or fear, but out of contentment. Tension soon began to grow as they approached Stars Hollow. Jess reached out and gently took Rory's in his. He could see the worry on her face and he wanted to comfort her.

"Jess, you're going to tell them with me right?" Rory whispered.

Jess looked and Rory full of shock, "Of course I am. Why would you have to ask that?"

"I don't know, I just wanted to make sure." Rory looked down and blushed.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. And if it isn't, I'm sure they will take it out on me." Jess smiled trying to lighten the mood.

Rory looked up shocked. "You don't think they would do you?"

"No, Rory calm down." Jess slowed the car down as they began to enter the small town. He pulled over by Lorelai's house and turned to look at Rory.

"We're going to do this. Trust me." Jess leaned in and kissed Rory.

"Ok, let's go." Rory said knowing that if they didn't leave now, they would be there all night.

Jess and Rory arrived at the Diner nervous. They looked at each other before entering and walked in together, hand in hand.

"Hey! Where have you guys been? How was your date?" Lorelai jumped up and greeted them loudly.

Rory flinched at the sudden noise and looked at Jess uneasily. "Um, it was good. I'm really tired though."

"You can't be tired, you're a Gilmore. You have to stay up late and have all kinds of energy like me!" Lorelai said in a singsong voice putting her arm around Rory.

"Mom, not all of us have as much energy as you." Rory rolled her eyes at her mothers childlike attitude.

"Oh sweets, you do though. Remember, you are like me." Lorelai jumped up pulling Rory with her.

"Uh, Lorelai." Jess finally spoke up seeing the distress on Rory's face.

Lorelai stopped immediately hearing the serious tone in Jess's voice. She turned and looked at Rory who was now looking down, rubbing her ankles together nervously.

"What's going on?" Lorelai urgently asked turning to Luke who just walked out of the kitchen.

Luke noticed the three of them standing there awkwardly looking nervous, or troubled, he couldn't tell.

"Hey guys, is everything ok?" Luke looked around seeing that Rory was looking down.

"Yeah, everything's fine." Jess quickly answered glancing at Rory. Rory looked up and nodded her head.

"Mom, we have something to tell you guys." Rory felt nervous and leaned on Jess for support.

"Rory are you alright?" Lorelai reached out to Rory, but Rory just pushed her hand away.

"Yeah, let's sit down. I'm really tired." Rory yawned and pulled Jess along with her to a bench.

Lorelai shot Luke a worried glance and motioned for him to follow. She sat across from them looking at them curiously.

"Mom, Luke, I…" Rory couldn't finish her sentence. She was scared and nervous. She looked at Jess and he took her hand ready to tell them.

"Uh, what Rory is trying to say is, uh she's pregnant." Jess managed to get out looking at Rory smiling.

"Whoa, whoa, what did you say?" Lorelai looked at Rory.

"Mom, we're going to have a baby." Rory confirmed what Jess told them.

Lorelai looked at Luke and gasped. "You're having a baby? Oh Rory!" Lorelai stood up and stood next to Rory. Rory got up and hugged her mom.

"You're not upset? Mad?" Rory seemed surprised.

"How could I be mad about this? This is wonderful, I'm going to be a grandma!" Lorelai began to cry and Luke stood up and placed his arm around her waist.

"Congratulations guys." Luke shook Jess's hand and gave Rory a hug. "You do know that this means you have to start eating healthy food right?"

"No! I need my junk food!" Rory gasped pleading with Jess. Jess shrugged and looked at Luke.

"Sorry, but he's right."

"Jess!" Rory whined.

"Rory, you might not be able to keep some of those things down." Jess reminded her.

"But I haven't had any morning sickness." Rory complained.

"Yet."

Rory's eyes got wide and she looked at her mom.

"It's bound to happen soon. I'm sorry honey." Lorelai patted Rory's back.

"I-I feel sick…" Rory ran up the stairs and Jess looked at Lorelai before taking off after her.

"Take care of her Jess! Have a good night." Lorelai called back after him.

"Will do!"

Lorelai turned to Luke and sighed.

"Can you believe I'm going to be a grandma." She walked over to him and laid her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah, they aren't so young anymore. Jess is going to learn what it is to be completely responsible. Not that he isn't already, but this is going to change him even more. And Rory, she is going to have to really work hard. I know she can do it though. She is a strong girl." Luke kissed Lorelai.

"My baby is all grown up. Poor thing, she probably is already stressing about school and work. I bet she is overwhelmed. She has already mentioned that school is being tough, now she has to deal with this." Lorelai shook her head.

"Yeah, but everything will be ok. We can help her. She isn't alone, and Jess really loves her. He will support her and do as much for her as he can. Even if it means stopping his work on his book."

"How do you know?"

"Because, I see how Rory makes Jess smile, how much of a difference she makes in his life. The way he looks at her and how he takes care of her." Luke listed these out to Lorelai and he knew she saw the same thing.

"You're right. Let's go, I'm tired. We can talk to them in the morning." Lorelai pulled Luke and sighed.

- - -

"Rory! Rory, are you ok?" Jess called as he ran into the apartment. He looked around and didn't see her. He heard the toilet flush in the bathroom and ran to it.

"Rory?" Jess opened the door to find Rory sitting by the toilet crying. "What's wrong?"

"Jess, I have been having morning sickness…it just hasn't been bad. I feel a little nauseous in the mornings, but I never thought anything of it. Now that I know what's going on, it's going to be bad." Rory cried.

"Hey, it'll be fine. It doesn't last long right? I mean, they say it's only for the first few months." Jess sat next to Rory.

Rory got up and walked to the bed. "Jess, this isn't that simple!" Rory was getting upset.

"Well what do you want me to do Rory?" Jess raised his voice. He was trying to help her through this, but she was being stubborn.

"I don't know!" Rory yelled back.

"I can't do anything if you don't tell me!" Jess turned to the door and walked out. He made sure to slam the door to show that he was getting irritated with her.

Jess loudly made his way down the stairs. Luke and Lorelai hadn't left yet. They had heard the arguing going on and decided to wait.

"What?!" Jess shouted seeing Luke and Lorelai staring at him.

"Jess what happened?" Lorelai tried to calm him down.

"Nothing, I'm going for a walk." Jess rudely replied.

"Jess, wait just one minute." Luke grabbed Jess's shoulder and stopped him'

"Luke, let me go." Jess clenched his teeth.

"No, you need to clear things up."

"I don't have to do anything." Jess pulled away and opened the door. Luke chased after him as Lorelai walked upstairs to check on Rory.

"Jess! Jess get over here!" Luke called running after him.

"What do you want?!" Jess turned around, clearly annoyed.

"I want to know what you did to Rory and why you are arguing." Luke said condescendingly.

"That is none of your business." Jess shouted.

"What's wrong with you? You were doing so well, you're more mature than this. What are you doing?" Luke quietly asked.

"I'm trying Luke. Gosh! It's just a stupid fight. Leave me alone!" Jess walked away.

Luke sighed. He thought that Jess was doing so well. He shook his head and walked back to the Diner, looking over his shoulder to see Jess walk to the bridge and sit down.

Rory was sitting on the bed crying. She knew she was pushing Jess's patience, but this was not something to take lightly.

"Rory!" Lorelai knocked on the door before coming in.

Rory looked up and then turned away from her mom, not wanting to talk. She tried to hold back the tears, but they just kept flowing.

"Rory, what happened?" Lorelai asked sitting next to her daughter.

"Nothing." Rory angrily replied.

"Something had to happen for Jess to walk out so angry." Lorelai noted.

"Mom, I don't want to talk about it." Rory stood up and walked to the desk.

"You should. It will help you feel better." Lorelai urged.

"No. Mom, just leave me alone. It's just a fight ok?" Rory snapped.

"Alright, alright." Lorelai raised her hands in defeat and stood up. She walked to the door and stopped, "You need to fix things."

Rory rolled her eyes as her mom left. She sat down, crossed her arms and continued crying. She knew her mom was right, but she didn't feel like fixing things. She sat there for thirty minutes finally deciding to go look for Jess.

She got up and walked down the stairs. The Diner was closed, but she left anyway, forgetting that she didn't bring her keys. She looked everywhere. Their "spot" on the bridge, the town square, but she couldn't find him anywhere.

She sighed and made her way to their spot on the bridge and sat down. She knew she had overreacted and angered Jess, and now she couldn't find him. It was getting cold and she forgot to grab a jacket. She shivered and looked around.

It's all my fault. If I would have just accepted his comfort instead of freaking out on him, we would be inside sleeping. But I had to go and be stupid about this and get him mad. How could I let this happen? Rory thought.

It was getting late and she was too tired to move. She laid down there and shivered again. She checked her pockets for her keys and sat up when she couldn't find them.

"Dang it!" Rory sighed.

She laid back down and fell asleep in the cold weather.

- - -

Jess had went to the bridge, but when he got there it only made him more upset. So he got up and took a walk to the town square. He walked around it for 5 minutes finally deciding to go back to the Diner. When he got upstairs he looked around for Rory, but didn't find her. Panic overtook him and he rushed out calling for her.

"Rory!" Jess ran to Lorelai's house and looked inside Rory's window, but she wasn't there.

"Dammit!" Jess kicked a rock and ran back to the Diner, hoping that maybe she was back. To his dismay she wasn't. He finally decided to check their spot. He ran as fast as he could and saw her laying there on the bridge.

"Rory!" Jess called, but she didn't get up. He ran even faster and stopped when he got to her.

"Rory." Jess quietly walked over to her. When he got to her he realized she was asleep, and cold. She hadn't brought a jacket and she was freezing.

Rory stirred and slightly opened her eyes. "Jess?" Rory shivered and fell back asleep. Jess gently picked her up and tried to make it to the Diner as fast as he could.

This is all my fault. I shouldn't have lost my patience with her. Now she might be sick. She left without her keys or jacket! She must have been ticked. But she had no right to get mad at me, I didn't do anything. Jess groaned.

Rory felt Jess's arms around her, but she couldn't open her eyes. She was so cold and tired. Jess hurried up the stairs and gently put Rory on the bed, placing blankets on her to warm her up. This couldn't be good for her.

"Rory, please wake up." Jess pleaded.

Rory moved slightly but didn't wake up. Jess sat there by her and tried to keep her warm.

Please wake up…you need to be ok. Both of you. Jess thought.

There you have it...I know it's kind of dramatic, but Jess won't always be like this...he cleaned up his act, but that doesn't mean he completely changed...but I promise...he won't always be like this...I have to develop his character and plus, becoming a dad will help mature him :) Review please!
