Chapter 2 A look of shock spread across Jess's face.

"Jess?" Rory asked quietly

"OK, we need to buy a test right? I'll run to the market and buy one." He said

"Wait, if you go and buy a test here in Stars Hollow, the gossip chain would spread everything around within thirty seconds. Let's drive to Hartford and get one." She said quickly

"Good idea." He replied

Rory smiled weakly at him.

"Rory, I just want to let you know, if you are pregnant, I'll be here for you, and the baby. Forever. I love you." Jess looked into her eyes.

"I love you too Jess."

He helped her up and she went and got dressed. They went in Jess's car and drove to Hartford, chose a test and went back to Rory's.



The two teens sat on the couch nervously, Rory's hand in Jess's. He looked over and saw the worried look on her face. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze just as the clock showed it was time to check and see if she was indeed pregnant.

Rory stood up and went into the bathroom. When she came out, she looked at Jess and nodded, as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Jess jumped up and walked over to her. He enveloped her into a hug, and the two sat back down on the couch.

"How are we going to tell Luke and Lorelai?" he wondered out loud

"I'm not afraid to tell either one them." She said "It's my grandparents that I'm afraid to tell." She continued

"I'll be right there with you when we tell everyone." He said

She tried her best to smile, and the door opened up. In walked Lorelai and Luke, talking and laughing until they saw Rory's tear stained face.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Lorelai asked giving her a hug.

Better get it over with she thought to herself.

"Mom, Luke, I'm.pregnant." She finished slowly and began crying again

"Oh my god." Lorelai whispered

"I'm so sorry." Rory cried

"Shh.sweetie it's ok. I mean I'm not exactly happy that your pregnant but. who's the father?" she asked

"I am." Jess spoke up

Meanwhile, Luke still had a look of pure shock on his face.

"Lorelai, I just want to let you know, I'm gonna be here for Rory and the baby. I love Rory, and I'm gonna be here to bring up my kid. I'm not gonna be like my father, who left us." Jess said

"I know you'll be here for Rory." Lorelai replied

"Well I guess we'd better make a doctor's appointment." Lorelai said, trying to break Luke out of his daze.

"Luke!" she snapped her fingers.

"What are you going to name it?" he asked Rory and Jess.

They looked at each other,

"I like the name Michelle for a girl." Rory said shyly

"That's pretty." Lorelai agreed

"I like Matthew for a boy." Jess added

"I'm not happy about this you two, but I feel like I can't yell at you two, I mean, I was pregnant younger than you, and I know what it feels like when your parents scream at you, and lose contact with you for fifteen years. It sucks. I want to help you two." She spoke softly

"Thank you mom." Rory whispered

"Now come on, we have to call Dr. Green and see when we can get an appointment with her."

Lorelai looked in the yellow pages, picked up the phone and dialed out the number. She put her on speaker phone.

A voice answered:

"Hello, Dr. Green's office."

"Hi, this is Lorelai Gilmore, I was wondering if I could make an appointment for my daughter, Rory?"

"We just had a cancellation, you can come now if you would like to."

She looked at Rory who nodded.

"We'll be over in a few minutes."

At the Doctor's*

Lorelai and Luke lead Rory and Jess, who were holding hands into the office.

"Hi, I have an appointment." Rory told the receptionist

"Of course, she is ready for you. You may go back there. The father can go too." The receptionist said eyeing Jess

Rory and Jess walked down the hall and into a room, where a yound woman was standing.

"Hi, you must be Rory, and you are the father?" she asked

"Jess." He replied

"OK, well let's get the appointment started then."

After a few procedures, she looked at Rory.

"Well Rory, you are indeed pregnant."

Rory nodded and smiled weakly.

"Your baby is healthy, and even though it's too early to determine the sex, your due date is March 12. We can give you the sex of the baby when you come next month." She finished

"Thank you, doctor." Jess said as he helped Rory up and walked her back into the waiting room.

"So?" Lorelai asked

"I'm pregnant, the due date is March 12." She replied

"Let's go schedule your next appointment and we can go home." Lorelai gave Rory a hug and went to talk to the receptionist.

Later on that evening*

Lorelai and Rory were at home. Luke and Jess were in the apartment.

"Uncle Luke?"

"Jess?"

"I need your help and advice."

"What's up kid?"

"I want to ask Rory to marry me."
