The Truth

Rory sat in the hospital waiting room some days later. She was shaking, terrified. Dean did his best to comfort her. They had just heard yesterday that the paternity tests were complete and were now awaiting the results.

"It's okay Rory, I promise," Dean reassured her; she just nodded her head, not trusting her mouth to work.

It wasn't long after Dean spoke when the doctor appeared.

"Rory Gilmore?" He called out, Rory stood up and, with Dean they followed him through to his office. Once they sat down he picked up a sheet of paper and then directed his gaze towards them.

"Well, I have here the results of the paternity test here," He said, his voice even, professional. "I'm sorry Mr. Forester, but it turns out you are not the Father of Rory Gilmore's baby."

They both lowered their heads.

"I...I see," Dean replied, "However, I'm still gonna be there for them."

Rory smiled and kissed him, "Thank you."

They left the hospital and began to walk back to Dean's car.

"So, Tristan is the Father," Rory remarked sadly, Dean didn't say anything, he just held her close. "What am I gonna do?"

"I don't know Rory, but I do know that, no matter what you do, I'm with you, every step of the way."

Rory smiled and thanked him again before he drove her home.

Her nerves however were mounting again as she prepared to deliver the news to her Mother.

"Do you want me to come in with you?" Dean asked, noticing her apprehension.

Rory nodded and together they headed inside. Lorelai was waiting for them.

"So, how did it go?" She asked, Rory sighed and admitted the truth, "The baby is Tristan's."

Lorelai froze before pulling Rory into a tight hug.

"Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry." Rory shook her head, "It's fine, I can manage. Dean's still gonna stick by me."

Lorelai looked up at Dean who nodded in confirmation. They sat down; Lorelai thought for a moment, Rory however was worried about something.

"What am I gonna do about school?" She asked, Lorelai sighed, "We'll just have to talk to the headmaster and see what happens. As for Tristan, well..."

"I'll deal with him," Rory said sharply, but then her shoulders slumped, "Just don't wanna think what the others are gonna say."

Dean put his arm around her soothingly. Lorelai decided it would be better not to wait and so, once Rory was ready, after promising to call Dean when they got back, Lorelai and Rory both got in Lorelai's car and drove to meet with the Principal, having called ahead to arrange the meeting.

They soon arrived at Headmaster Charleston's office; before they went in Rory turned to her Mother.

"Mom, please, don't say anything about Tristan, I wanna deal with that myself."

Lorelai nodded and they entered Charleston's office, he sat at his desk waiting patiently as they sat down.

"So, Miss Gilmore, I understand you are both here because of something urgent." He stated. Lorelai nodded and then explained about Rory's pregnancy, leaving out the details involving Tristan, and their concern on the effect it would have on her school work.

Charleston sighed, "You know how things work here, and I know how I gave you that big speech when you first started but...For someone with as much potential as Rory, I am willing to...stretch the rules a little. If there are days where she can't make it in, I'll arrange for her to have a personal tutor to teach her on what she is missing."

Rory was amazed at this, as was Lorelai, "Are you serious?" Charleston smiled and nodded, so they thanked him and, grateful for his understanding they left and returned home.

The following day Rory's apprehension was back, even greater than before. She walked to her locker, trying hard not to think about what everyone at Chilton would say if they found out about her pregnancy. She didn't have to wait long to find out as the first person she ran into was the last one she wanted to see, Tristan.

"Hey, what's up Rory?" He greeted smugly.

She didn't say a word and pushed past him. He turned to follow her.

"Hey, what gives?"

"Don't you dare talk to me," She growled at him.

"Oh, we got a fight."

Rory ignored the voice of Louise Grant; she was too busy getting ready to deal with Tristan. She knew that Louise would be with Paris and Madeline as usual but didn't care; she was making a scene now, might as well have everybody watching.

Tristan raised his arms defensively, "Whoa, what's your problem?"

"I think you know," Rory snapped, Tristan had been bragging about having sex with her after all, but now she was about to set things straight. "The incident at the party, where you drugged and raped me!"

"What are you talking about, you wanted it, you can stop..."

"And now thanks to that I'm pregnant with your kid!"

There was stunned silence and then he glared.

"Yeah right, fucking liar, how dare you try and destroy my reputation like that!" He yelled at her, "First you lie and say you were raped and now you are saying you are pregnant!"

The effect was instantaneous, there were mutters and she knew they believed Tristan's story over hers.

Tristan turned and left, as did the crowd, some made passing glares at her; others made snide remarks under their breath. Rory lowered her head, she couldn't believe this, everything had gone wrong, what was she going to do now.

"Rory."

She turned sullenly to the speaker; it was Paris and her group.

"What?" She snapped, "Let's hear it, come on, what's the insult gonna be this time?"

To her surprise Paris actually looked...sympathetic.

"I wasn't gonna insult you." Paris claimed adamantly. Rory was shocked at this, "What's going on, I thought this would've been the perfect chance for you to get what you wanted and ruin me."

"That would be the case if you were lying," Paris shot back, "There's no way in hell that anyone, not just you, would lie about something so drastic."

"Wait, so you believe me."

Paris nodded, "Yes, I promise you this Rory, I'm gonna get to the bottom of this, I'll find some proof of this."

Rory couldn't believe what she was hearing, she wanted to say something but all that came out was a meek sounding 'thanks'.

Paris nodded and they left for class as the bell rang.

'Didn't see that one coming,' Rory thought, 'But at least not everyone is against me.'

While she never expected Paris to side with her she was grateful for it and just hoped Paris could find some means to prove that she was telling the truth.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
