When You Need Me I Will Be There
Chapter 27
Three months later:
Roy is now six and a half months pregnant and Lucas and her are going strong sometimes it is hard for her to trust that Lucas will be true to his word but she was trying. Lucas was being so understanding but they were in a relationship and happy for the most part.
Today they were going to find out the gender of their children. Rory was trying to fight off the sadness of Nathan missing this moment in his children's lives she realized that some part of her would always have feelings for him because he gave her reason to keep breathing after her father died. In addition, her being pregnant helped her confront her feelings for Lucas and for that, she would always be grateful. However, he made his choice long ago and he has to live with it and so did she.
Meanwhile, Lucas was on the phone getting the final details on the surprise baby shower Brooke and Peyton were throwing for Rory later at Karen's Café. He really hoped that this would help her out of the dark place she was in which she had been in lately. He realized how hard this was for her the further along she got in her pregnancy realizing that her life was changing in a way she had never planned.
Just then, Lucas heard her bedroom door open and she stepped out ready to start their day. He gave her a smile, grabbed her hand and the backpacks, headed out the door, and headed to school until the doctors appointments at 130 they rode in silence both placed in their own thoughts.
They arrived at school Lucas got out first went around to Rory's side, opened her door, and helped her out as she exited the car. It was really the first time Lucas really got a good look at her face because she was facing away from him in the car. He put his arm out to stop her as she turned to enter the school. She looked at like there is no soul in her eyes. This worried Lucas even more about her current state.
"Rory what is going on? You're scaring me please talk to me honey."
"Nothing I'm fine we have to get going or we are going to be late."
Lucas released his loose grip on her and followed her into school he knew now was not the time but he promised himself that he would get to the bottom of what ever was bugging her. He truly did not like to see her unhappy. The only thing he could think of was talking to Dr. Peterson after their appointments. Therefore, he just headed into the school putting his worries behind him and followed Rory to class.
As the day wore on Rory kept thinking about how everything that she was doing felt as if she were having an out of body experience. Anything she did lately felt as if her emotions were raging one moment and then the next she was in such depression the next moment she did not think it was worth it any longer. The worst part was that she did not know where this is coming from or how to express it to anyone and she knew if she shared these feelings, all she would get was a sympathetic look from everyone and that was the last thing she wanted. She felt as if she was going crazy and she just wanted it to stop.
She knew Lucas was worried about her but she was getting tired of him hovering all the time. As she got to her locker she felt as if someone was watching her this feeling she was used to because as it was now she was the gossip topic of the whole student body she knew it and they didn't try to hide it she could hear what was being said the gossip was
Poor Rory Hayden no family to speak of and she's been left pregnant by Nathan Scott and left to raise them on her own and Lucas has stepped into help her it's history repeating itself 17 years later.
She tried to ignore it but in truth, it was really getting to her. She just wanted to be left alone and blend back into the background as she used to. At moments like this, she wished she had never met Nathan Scott. All she could do was hold her head up high and not let it bother her.
She really did not care what people thought she just wanting to be left alone to live her life. For the most part, she was and she only hard the comments when none of her friends was around because people knew not to say a word when they were around.
As she finished putting away her textbooks for the day, she felt Lucas's arms wrapped around her and the small smile on her face. She turned and gave him a small peck on the lips. Lucas was pleasantly surprised by this because of her mood earlier that morning. After a moment he spoke.
"You ready to go to our appointment?"
"Yeah let's go see our children."
"Then we can finally take out names and a nursery theme."
What Lucas did not know was that Rory had already picked out names the moment she found out that she was having twins. From the time she was a little girl she had always wanted to honor her mother's memory and continue with the Lorelai tradition and if her instincts are right she knew she was going to have a son also the and it just felt right to honor her father's memory also by naming her son Christopher. She just hoped once Lucas found out he was not too angry. She tried to put that thought out of her mind and focus on something happier.
