6 weeks had gone by and Rory had not heard a thing from Logan, she had pushed herself into her work and her family, she had moved in to the apartment above the Diner and hadn't spoken a word to anyone but her mom about what had happened in California, her first couple of weeks back had been hard, she had began to feel a little run down but she reasoned that her life had gone from being fast paced to very slow abruptly and figured it was just her body adjusting to the change, tonight was Friday night dinner and she was glad she was no longer feeling queasy.
Walking into her grandparents house she greeted them and sat across from her mom, Rory accepted the drink from her Grandfather and listened as they told stories of the past week, not long after, they were seated for dinner, and the maid brought in the first course, Avocado salad, she wolfed it down and didn't realize she was getting looks from everyone at the table, Rory only usually ate the avocado and left the rest, when her plate was clean the maid took it away and replaced it with the roasted duck, the smell hit Rory's nose and her stomach flipped, bolting for the bathroom, she emptied her stomach and heaved when her stomach had nothing else to give, feeling a hand on her back rubbing it soothingly, she looked up into the concerned eyes of her mother, who passed her a glass of water and helped her up. Walking back into the dining room, Emily had the maid take the food back into the kitchen and Rory was grateful, the smell had caused all of this.
"I'm going to take her home, i think she is sick, some well earned rest should put her right" Lorelei explained to her parents, guiding Rory to the car, she placed her in the passenger seat and went back for their coats and purses.
"Did she throw up" Emily inquired before Lorelei could leave,
"Yeah, but like i said she will be fine, i will take her to the doctor tomorrow, there's a stomach bug going around"
"I hadn't heard" suspiciousness rising in Emily's tone,
"Around Stars Hollow" Lorelei clarified, she quickly turned before her mother could ask anymore questions and got into the car, driving through the gate, she took a left instead of a right and continued until she saw a sign for a 24hr pharmacy, parking up she looked at Rory in the seat next to her, Rory had dozed off whilst waiting for her and Lorelei was glad of it. Walking into the pharmacy, she arrived at the counter and explained the situation to the woman in front of her, the woman took her along some shelves and placed a few things into a small basket, coming back to the counter she explained,
"I have put a pregnancy test in there, you might not need it but its best we cover all the options, now if that is positive the ginger ale, crackers, and apple juice will help, but should it prove negative i have included some over the counter stomach settlers and some aspirin. Either way you must get yourself to the doctors first thing, that will be $25.95"
Lorelei payed the woman and made her way back to her car, noticing Rory was still asleep she drove back to Star Hollow and pulled the car into the driveway. Waking Rory she guided her into the house and cringed when she smelt the food Luke had been cooking, Rory again bolted for the bathroom and Lorelei followed her, after she was finished heaving up the small amount of water she had had since her last spell of sickness, Lorelei sat her up and passed her the pregnancy test, Rory's eyes widened and she shook her head furiously at her mom,
"I dont need this"
"Just check please, for me"
"But mom i'm on the pill"
"I know but just check anyway, cover all the basis"
"Fine" Lorelei left whilst Rory took the test, walking back in after suitable amount of time, she looked at her daughter's ashen face, Rory pushed the pregnancy test towards her mom and sure enough there was the little pink cross, her daughter was pregnant.
"Oh Crap" Lorelei verbalised
"You're telling me" Rory deadpanned.
