Why didn't you tell me? Chapter 1: I'm what?, a gilmore girls fanfic

Ten years have passed since Rory's graduation. Logan moved to San Francisco and Rory is a world-renowned journalist. Lorelai and Luke have married and they had a son named Ryan who is eight. Rory has been raising her daughter Sophie on her own since she was born three years ago after a few flings with her ex boy friend.

Three years ago:

Rory did not feel well this morning. She was tired and she had not had anything to eat yet she was sick to her stomach. The last time she felt like this she had the flu and that was not something she could afford to have right now. She took out the phone book and looked for a phone number for a doctor. She didn't care whom it was all she cared about was getting over this feeling.

She placed her index finger on a number took out her phone and dialed.

"Hello this is Dr. Cooper's office how may I help you?"

"Hello my name is Rory Gilmore and I need an appointment with Dr. Cooper for today if possible."

"Let me see here." Rory could hear the assistant flipping through different pages. If she had to go through that many pages for today then Rory might be looking for another number. "Well we had a cancellation for ten this morning does that work for you?"

"That's perfect thank you."

"You're welcome."

Rory hung up the phone and looked at the clock it was nine thirty. She had just enough time to get down to his office to make it to her appointment. She scribbled down the address from the phone book and went downstairs, hailed a taxi and got in. She handed the address to the taxi driver and waited. It was a short drive and Rory probably could have walked but she didn't look at the address before she handed it to the taxi driver. She paid him and got out. It was now five minutes until ten. She walked into the office and walked up to the desk.

"Hi I called earlier my name is Rory Gilmore…"

"Hi miss Gilmore the doctor is ready to see you if you follow me I will take you right back."

Rory followed the receptionist out of the waiting room and back to the exam room. Rory sat on the examination table that was covered with a sheet of medical paper. It felt weird to be there alone but if she was sick she wanted a short recovery period. A few minutes later a young man in a white coat entered.

"So I hear that you have not been feeling well is that right?"

"Yeah I feel nauseous although I have not eaten anything and I feel really tired."

"I see well when what the last time you had a period Rory?"

"I am not sure maybe two months ago."

"Well have you had sex with anyone recently?"

"There was this one guy…wait are you saying I'm pregnant?"

"Well your symptoms fit but I won't be able to tell until I run a test."

"And how long is that going to take?"

"The blood test could take a couple of days before we can get you the results but if you want to know right away I suggest you take a home pregnancy test that way you will know before the lab results return."

"Fine. Is there any thing else that this could possibly be?" Rory was pleading to see if there was anything else it could be.

"Without a fever and with these limited symptoms I would have to say no."

"Alright."

The doctor took some blood for the test and Rory went to find a home pregnancy test. After she left the office she looked down the sidewalk to see where there was a drug store. The one good thing about living in a big city was that she did not have to go far to find one and she would not be judged by the people inside. She had a plan. Get it get out and go home.

She walked pass the clerk at the counter and went to the home pregnancy tests. There were numerous tests to choose from so she bought one of each. She was going to keep taking the test until she found an answer she liked. Now with an armful of tests she walked back to the counter, paid for all of them, and walked out. Her loft was only a block away and she hurried as she went the last thing she wanted was to be spotted carrying two bags of pregnancy tests. She made it safely into the elevator and up into her loft without anyone spotting her. Once behind the safety of her door she took the bags into the bathroom.

PREGNANT

The word mocked her. All of the test she took came back with the same result. Rory Gilmore was in fact pregnant and there was only one man who could possibly be the father. Jess.
