Chapter 11

"How about we just do both. Throw random names out there?" Rory concluded.

"Yeah, that works." Jess smiled and took the lid off the pen.

"Hmm…how about Lorelai?" Rory asked with uncertainty.

"Lorelai? I didn't think you wanted to keep that tradition going?" Jess asked, although he didn't completely throw out that idea.

"Well, I um, I kind of want to keep the tradition. But if you don't want it, I understand." Rory was fiddling with her hands.

"Well it's definitely an option then. For a boy, what about Toby?" Jess threw in trying to ease up the tension Rory was feeling.

"I don't know. I'll have to think about that one." Rory replied.

"Ooh. How about another little Jess?" Rory squealed slightly teasing, but also serious.

"Haha, I don't know. Maybe. It could always be a middle name." Jess was slightly embarrassed but was also flattered that she would want to name their son Jess.

"Kimberly?" Rory asked, "Well maybe as a middle name. I'm not sure how I feel about the name yet." She shrugged and continued thinking.

"Oliver, or Holden?" Jess was writing all these names down and wanted to throw out some possible names he liked.

"What about Lucas? I mean Luke is a big part of our lives and without him we wouldn't have even met." Rory grinned and blushed when she got a big idea for a name. "Oh, Jess! What about Jess Lucas Mariano?!"

"I actually like the sound of that. Do you still want to keep brainstorming though?" Jess was beaming.

"We could…I have some for a girl. Well I already said Lorelai, we could call her Lorri or Lai or something. And Elizabeth. You know, after your mom." Rory suggested.

"I would agree to the Lorelai, the Elizabeth, I will have to think about that one." Jess wrote down these names.

"Jane? Chloe?" Jess added to the list.

"Ayn!" Rory giggled.

"I'm not naming my daughter after that political nut!" Jess disagreed.

"Fine." Rory pouted. "Well we still have work for the girls names then. I'm kinda tired though. Let's finish this later." She stretched and yawned.

"Rory. When are you going to tell your grandparents and dad?" Jess questioned, knowing this was a tender subject for her.

"When are you going to tell your parents, Jess?" Rory shot back angrily.

"Rory, I will tell them, but you need to tell them too."

"I just, I don't want to talk to my dad. He left us for Sherri and I just can't do it. I will tell my grandparents this Friday I guess. But you're going with us." Rory smirked.

"How devious of you! But hey, I can call your dad if you want. I'll tell him for you." Jess grabbed her and gently squeezed it reassuringly.

"Alright. But maybe I should talk to him. I just want you there with me. I want to tell him in person though." Rory sighed and closed her eyes.

"I should call my mom now." Jess got up and grabbed the phone sitting next to Rory. He dialed his mom's number and heard it ring.

"Hello?"

"Mom. It's me."

"Jess honey! What are you doing? I haven't heard from you in a while. What makes you call?"

"Well, I kinda have some big news for you and TJ." Jess cringed at the though of TJ. He really didn't like that man, but he was a lot more normal than the other men his mom had been with.

"Well don't keep me in suspense." Liz shrieked.

"Mom. Rory and I are having a baby." Jess informed her excitedly.

"What?!" Liz began screaming with joy.

"Yeah, well I thought I'd let you know. We are tired and we're gonna go to bed now. I'll talk to you later." Jess rolled his eyes and hung up.

"How'd she take it?" Rory questioned.

"Well, once my hearing comes back I'll be fine. She was screaming with joy." Jess rubbed his ear and smiled.

"That's good." Rory looked down tears forming in her eyes.

"What's wrong Ror?" Jess rubbed her back gently.

"I hope my grandparents and dad take it the same way."

Jess knew that this was going to be difficult for her to do. "I'm sure they will."

"We'll see. But Jess?"

"Yeah."

"I'm hungry." Rory looked at Jess with puppy eyes. He sighed and got up.

"What do you want?" Jess asked heading for the door.

"Fries! Ooh a burger! And ice cream!" Rory squealed, jumping up and down.

"Alright. I'll be back in a few."

"YAY!"

Rory woke up early not feeling to well. She was tossing and turning and finally decided to get out of bed. She got up and regretted it the minute she stood up. She felt dizzy when nausea finally took over. She made a dash to the bathroom and threw up. She knew that morning sickness would hit sometime soon. She wasn't ready for this. She didn't want to deal with it.

Jess felt Rory get up and heard her gasp. He rolled over to see if she was ok, and saw her running, no sprinting, to the bathroom.

"Rory?" Jess groggily called out. Rory just moaned and sat there in the bathroom. Jess got up and sat next to her. "You ok?"

"No. Morning sickness sucks." Rory weakly answered.

"I'm sorry hon. Anything I can do to help?" Jess rubbed her back soothingly.

"Not unless you can make this go away."

"Sorry."

"I'm still tired, I'm going back to bed." Rory yawned.

"Ok. I'm gonna go downstairs really quick and I'll be right back." Jess kissed her and left. He wanted to get her some coffee, decaf, and something to eat. He came back up and found Rory sitting on the couch reading.

"I thought you were going back to bed?" Jess chuckled taking a seat on the couch.

"I couldn't fall back asleep." Rory sighed and closed her book. "What did you bring me?"

"Oh, food and some coffee." Jess gently shook it in front of her.

"Yay!" She took a sip and made a face. "This is decaf!" Rory exclaimed.

"I know. But I'm not letting you get our kid hooked on coffee like you and your mother." Jess smirked.

"Fine." She finished the coffee. Not long after she finished the coffee she made another mad dash to the bathroom. "Oh great!"

"What?" Jess ran to her.

"I can't keep down coffee." Rory whined and slouched.

"I'm sorry." Jess tried to keep a straight face with no prevail.

"It's not funny Jess!"

"I know." Jess got serious again. He decided not to get her upset, after all her hormones were going crazy now. "I know this may sound random, but I think I might have a good name for a girl."

"Really? What?" Rory forgot about her dilemma at the moment and looked at Jess expectantly.

"Lorelai Jane Mariano. We could call her Lorri, Lai, haha or even Lane. I'm sure Lane would love that." Jess chuckled and looked at Rory.

"I like it. So we have two names picked out then?" Rory stood up slowly and grabbed on to Jess for support.

"Yeah, I guess we do." Jess agreed.

"So either Jess Lucas Mariano or Lorelai Jane Mariano?"

"Yep." Jess followed Rory to the living room and sat down at the table. He pulled out his laptop and decided it would be a nice time to finish his chapter.

"I'm going downstairs. I want to tell mom we have come up with some names, besides I think I need something to eat that I will be able to keep down, and I'm sure she knows what that is." Rory put on some shoes and grabbed a jacket. "I'll be up in a little bit."

"Alright. Have fun." Jess smiled and began typing.

- - -

"Mom!" Rory called running down the stairs.

"Daughter!" Lorelai jumped up and walked over to her.

"Mom, Jess and I have come up with two names for the baby. One for if it's a boy and one for if it's a girl." Rory was glowing and Lorelai smiled.

"What are the names?" She asked excitedly.

"You'll have to wait until the baby is born." Rory sat down and smirked.

"Ooh. Mean!" Lorelai slumped down dramatically. "You wouldn't put your mama through all this stress because you wouldn't tell me the names, now would you?"

"Yep!" Rory laughed and turned to Luke who was walking out of the kitchen.

"Luke! Two coffees please!" Lorelai practically shouted.

"Actually just one." Rory frowned.

"Is Jess not letting you have coffee? Because if he isn't, I'll go talk to him now and beat him up until he lets you." Lorelai stood up looking towards the stairs.

"No. I just can't keep it down." Rory began tearing up. "My sweet coffee, I can't have any."

"Oh honey. I'll have your coffee if it makes you feel better." Lorelai tried to perk her up.

"Alright. But don't drink coffee in front of me ok?" Rory sniffled.

"Ok hon."

"Mom, what can I eat that I won't end up throwing up? You know what? I'm craving a banana, and strawberries, ooh and blueberries!" Rory clapped her hands and looked at Luke.

"Coming right up." Luke went to the back and came back with a bowl of fruit.

"Yay! Thanks Luke." Rory pulled out a spoon and began eating the fruit.

"Ew! How could you eat that stuff?" Lorelai grimaced.

"It's actually really good." Rory said through a stuffed mouth. She finished her bowl of fruit and stood up. "I'm going upstairs now. Oh mom, we have to tell grandma and grandpa this Friday. Jess agreed to go with us. And um, I'm, I'm going to tell dad." Rory whispered the last part.

"You're going to tell Chris?" Lorelai cocked her head and observed Rory. "Well he is your dad, he does have a right to know."

"Thanks mom. But the catch is, we're going to have him come to lunch this weekend. We still have to call him, but if you and Luke don't want to be there, let me know now." Rory was staring at her feet.

"No, we'll be there. Right Luke!?"

Luke snapped his head up. "What?"

"We're going to have lunch with Jess, Rory, and Chris. They are going to tell him about the baby." Lorelai informed him just as Kirk walked in.

"Baby? Who? Where?" Kirk spun around looking for one.

"Um, hi Kirk. Nothing." Lorelai tried to lie.

"No, there is a baby. I want to know where. I can offer my services!" Kirk stared at Lorelai.

Rory sighed, "It's ok mom. Just tell the town, they'll find out eventually."

"Ok. Kirk, Rory's having a baby. But I don't think she needs your services. Sorry." She apologized.

"Take my card anyway." Kirk handed Rory a card and she stifled a laugh.

"See ya Kirk." The two Gilmore girls simultaneously said.

"Jess already told his mom and TJ. I'm not sure if he told his dad yet. I'll try to get him to." Rory mumbled walking upstairs.

"Luke, are you going to be ok with lunch"

"No, but it's for Rory, so I'll deal." Luke sighed.

"Thanks." Lorelai kissed him and grabbed her coffee. "Well I'm off to the inn. I'll see you later."

"Bye."

- - -

"Jess." Rory called looking around the living room.

"In here!" Jess called from their bedroom.

"What are you doing?" She said glancing around.

"Oh, I was just looking for a book. Howl. Have you seen it anywhere?"

"Yeah, it's in one of the boxes labeled books. But Jess, I have to ask you something." Rory looked away shyly.

"Yeah?" Jess looked up.

"Have you told your dad yet?" Rory quietly asked.

"No." Jess stated coldly.

"I-I can tell him for you if you want. Jess, I'm telling my dad. I want your dad to know too." Rory pleaded.

"Rory, he won't care. He barely cared that I stayed with him. Why would he care about this?" Jess angrily stood up and glared at her.

Rory began to cry. "I don't know. I just thought you would want him to know." She ran out of the room and Jess silently cursed himself.

"Rory." Jess ran after her.

"No Jess." Rory sat down on the couch and pushed him away.

"Rory, I'm sorry. It's just, I still haven't forgiven him for what he did to me. I will tell him if you want, but don't be upset if he doesn't care." Jess said defeated.

"We should both tell him." Rory whispered through tears.

"How?"

"Invite him for lunch." Rory hid her face from Jess. She didn't want to see the disapproval in his eyes.

"If that's what you want." Jess agreed reluctantly.

"Thank you Jess." Rory hugged him and pulled away. "I guess we should make phone calls then."

"Yeah, ok." Jess reached for the phone and dialed the first number.

Ok, so what did you think?? I hope the names are ok. Also, I would like to know if you think if it should be a boy or a girl, I know which way I'm leaning, but I want to see what you guys have to say! Review please!
