Chapter 2


“Rory, hunny, what happened? When I got back Patty said you had left and something had gone wrong with you and Dean.” Lorelai blurted out as she rushed in the door. She found Rory sitting on the couch reading The Grapes Of Wrath for about the ninetieth time. Rory looked up and closed her book, she didn’t want her mom to see the notes in the margins or she would know that the book was from Jess, and her mom hated Jess. Then, on an afterthought, opened it again, she didn’t have to hide this anymore. Lorelai saw this little maneuver and immediately focused on the book, hmm notes in the margins…Jess. Ugh she hated that kid. “Jess’s book?” Lorelai asked stiffly “Yes it is” Rory replied “And mom, I think we’re going to be seeing a lot more of Jess now” Lorelai looked at her, what was she talking about? “What are you talking about?” ‘Ok, I’m so supposed to be witty,’ she thought, then realized from the look on Rory’s face that maybe now wasn’t the time for swift comebacks. Rory then proceeded to tell her mom about what had happened earlier that night, with every word Lorelai’s mouth dropped another notch, inching closer and closer to her lap. As soon as Rory was done Lorelai snapped her mouth shut again. “So it finally happened, your finally with Jess” she asked “Uh yea, I am, at least I think, we haven’t had that talk yet” Rory explained “Aw Rory, hunny, I should explain to you that babies come from the stork, that’s not Jess’ job.” Lorelai made a mock pouty face.

She had of course meant the talk that would go something like “Where do we stand…are we officially together?” but as soon as her mom did that Rory knew everything was going to be ok, her mom wouldn’t joke unless she was being herself, you know, a person who usually existed only in the absence of seriousness. She decided now would be a good time to end the discussion, ok new topic “So I’m assuming that Kirk won again?” not the best choice Rory concluded as she saw her mom get all serious again “Yes he did, and I don’t want to talk about it, I still have the theme from Rocky playing over and over in my head” she said “Its that bad?” asked Rory “Ohh yea, sleep disturbing nightmares and possible intensive therapy are forth coming.” Good, serious moment over.
