"No, I think what scared me the most was that I knew that you really would want this baby, more then anything."

"So what's wrong with that?"

"Nothing, the whole idea of it is perfect and you're perfect, I just don't know if I'm ready to be part of that ideal world yet. I mean I thought I was, I really did, but now I don't know."

"Rory just because you're pregnant doesn't mean that we have to get married. I mean I'm not saying that I don't want to marry you, I just don't want you to feel pressured into that."

"I know that Dean but the one thing I look back at from my childhood and wonder about is how different things would have been if my parents had stayed together and I got to grow up in the same house with both of them."

"Well one thing is for sure no matter what we decide this kid will know her father and she will definitely have wonderful memories to look back on."

"Dean there's something else I need to tell you." She looked at him guiltily.

"Okay, what is it?"

"That first night we were together at Christmas…"

"Yeah…"

"I told you that I was on the pill and that you didn't have to worry about using anything."

"Yeah I remember."

"I lied to you; this baby is something that I've wanted now for a while. The Christmas before last I was really hoping you would be in town. I thought maybe if we started talking then maybe we would become a couple again and maybe even talk about, well I've never actually had this conversation with you before so I wasn't sure…"

"You didn't know rather or not I wanted kids?"

"Well yeah just because we've never really talked about the subject. I was having so many doubts that you would even want a family until you mentioned being married with kids that day at Miss Patty's."

"So what happened…you thought the talk wasn't necessary this year and just…"

"No Dean, it's not like that. The thought hadn't even crossed my mind since I went back to New York until I saw you in the kitchen that day. All of a sudden I felt like I had no control over my future anymore, I fell for you again so fast. Just the idea of having you back in my life again, it made me feel alive for the first time in years." She looked up from her hands and looked him in the eye. "Dean I'm sorry but I knew that if I didn't do this now that it would never happen, I couldn't take the risk of you saying no. I guess the one thing I wasn't expecting was for you to still want to date other people; I don't think I've ever felt as lonely as I did when you left with her that night. That's also when I got scared and started to second guess my decision."

"Rory none of this makes any sense. If you wanted a relationship with me, why was the first thing you told me was that what we were doing was just for fun, you said you didn't want any strings attached. Do you know how much that killed me inside to agree to something like that?"

"When you were married to Lindsay you didn't seem to want kids and…"

"Rory when I was married to Lindsay I was eighteen and still in love with you, why the hell would I ever bring a child into that?"

"I just wanted this so bad the year before and I thought I had changed my mind but then I saw you again and all of those feelings came back."

"Alright just forget about anything that's happened in the past, I need to know the truth now Rory, how do you really feel about me? How do you really feel about having this baby?"

"Honestly right now I feel like I've made a mistake."

"Just because of what happened on New Year's eve? Rory you know that she meant absolutely nothing to me. If you would have just been honest then and told me what was really going on do you think I would have still gone out with them?"

"Dean I didn't know that I was pregnant then. Besides I tried to make you stay, you said it would make you look bad if you canceled at that point, you were more worried about what she thought of you then what I did."

"No matter how many times I apologize you're never going to forgive me for that night, are you?"

"I don't know, did you have any fun?" She asked pouting her lips.

"No I was miserable the entire time. I don't even know what the hell I was thinking; as soon as we left the house I knew I wanted to just be with you. I really tried to leave, you have to believe me."

"I do believe you Dean; I just wish things could have turned out differently."

"Why exactly are we not allowed to make things right now? Rory I know we haven't really ever talked about this before but you are the only person I've ever thought about having kids with." He said smiling. "Even when we were younger, I always imagined that we would get married and have kids, it really hurt when I realized you liked Jess more then me, I've never admitted this before, even though it's kind of obvious, I married Lindsay thinking it would help me to move on and stop thinking about you so much. I guess we all know now how much that plan backfired."

An instant smile appeared on her face at the sudden confession. "Dean you don't have to tell me this, I know that you love me and you also know that I love you. Nothing will ever change that. But I have to admit it's really nice to hear."

"Rory I've made so many mistakes in my life, I don't know if it's your stubbornness to not be able to see something that's right in front of you or my denial about not being the one that can keep a smile on that face for the rest of your life. A few months ago you wanted something from me and you got it and I'm glad that you did but now there's something that I want from you." He held her hand once again before continuing. Her heart must have been racing at that moment because he could feel her pulse clearly through her hand or maybe it was just the adrenaline from both of them. "Rory let's do this thing right, there is nothing I want more then for us to be together and for our baby to grow up with both of her parents…you would make me the happiest man alive if you would be my wife?"
