When it Fits
Rory's POV
————————————————————————
I have just told my mom I am pregnant. She looked so shocked and I can only assume upset. Obviously she wasn't disappointed in me for getting pregnant, she must be upset because I'm alone.
"Mom?" I spoke, "Please say something." She looked at me and sighed. But then she smiled. "Oh kid!" She said, tearing up, "Congratulations my baby girl." And she hugged me tight.
It was nice. My best friend was happy for me even though I've screwed up so bad. I started to cry as well.
"Is it Logan's?" She asks calmly, with only some nervousness in her voice. I just look down and nod, sniffling a little. She takes my hand and squeezes it. "It's ok. I'm not mad." She says.
"But Mom. I'm pregnant and the dad is engaged to another women. I had sex with a man I knew was taken. I'm so terrible, I-" I cry some more.
"Shhh. Shh. It's ok. It's ok." She holds me. "Ah sweets, everything will be good." I nod. She's warm and it is freezing out. I want to stay in her arms forever.
"Mom? Can we head back now?" I ask groggily. I've been up since, what like 12 a.m.? I need rest. "Course hun. We need all the energy we have for wedding number two!!" She says with a very happy laugh. I smile wide.
When we get home we find Kirk and Peddles passed out on the couch. I laugh as I think of how this is not the weirdest thing I've seen in Stars Hollow.
For instance, I've seen two troubadours fight passionately about who can sing in our small town. I've seen Kirk dressed like a woman and pretend to seduce Taylor; not to mention his very memorable film. I've seen a dead body outline right next to Doose's Market, which I can admit now was hilarious and even though I caused this one, I saw a beat up old car doused in deviled eggs.
"Psssst!" I turn towards the noise. "Kid do you want pop tarts or leftover tacos?" My Mom whispers. "Both duh!" I retort. "Oh good, I'm not alone with wanting both." She fake sighs of relief. Count on Mom to always want the lot when it comes to food.
I go to my room and lay down. The mattress is soft and warm. Perfect for early morning napping. Mom comes in and hands me my food. I start getting up to eat at the table, but my mom stops me. "What's the point of me bringing you breakfast in bed if you don't eat the breakfast in your bed? Sit back down missy."
With that she shuts my door and let's me eat in silence. It is always nice to have a calm meal in your room alone. I eat then doze off.
I awake to the sound of knocking. There are footsteps then some muffled talking and then someone knocks on my room door. "Come in." I say. Jess walks in with coffee. "Hey." He says.
What in the world is Jess Mariono doing in my room at 11:15 in the morning? "Hi?" I say. He laughs. "I came by to drop off coffee to Luke, Lorelai and you. I figured you guys don't want to go out before the wedding."
Oh. I feel silly now. I thought he had come to see me. Ehh. It's fine. Not like I care really.
"Oh. Yeah thanks." I say and grab the cup. I start to take a sip but then stop. Your not supposed to have normal coffee when your pregnant I think. I set it on my nightstand.
Jess quirks an eyebrow. "Rory Gilmore did you just turn down coffee?" He says with a shocked laugh. I go red, not knowing how to respond. "It was too hot." I lie.
He comes over and sits on the edge of the bed. "It was made almost twenty minutes ago. I had to walk from Luke's." He says.
I give a small laugh and try to start a different conversation. "Did you read the first three chapters?" I ask. "Well I only saw the paper as you were holding it and jumping up and down. So I have yet to read it." Jess responds. I pull out the papers from my bag and hand him them.
"You can read it now if you like." I say. Jess grabs it and goes to sit in the chair on the other side of my room. He starts reading, smiling every so often.
I can't describe it, but it feels nice to sit with him like this. It fits. Like what my mom was talking about in the Gazebo, how people have to fit. Obviously we aren't a couple and won't ever be again, but we do fit. I'll admit that.
