It All Comes Out In Moron

Making Paths

Rory's P.O.V.
I wake up on the couch and see Jess on the floor. "Jess?" I ask. He wakes up. "Hmm? What? Where.... Rory why am I on the floor?" He asks. "I don't know..." I say. He laughs. "Wow..." He said scratching his head. He gets up and smiles. I look at the clock and it's ten am. Mom left for work like two hours ago and so did Luke. ".... I need a poptart." I say. I get up and stretch. Jess looks at me and yawns. "What do you want to do today? " He asks. I ponder. "I need to go to Martha's Vineyard....." I remember. Jess gives me a odd expression. "Why?" He asks. "My grandmother doesn't know...." I say. It takes Jess a minute, but he catches on and nods. "How much does that cost?" He asks. I pull out some money. "I can go alone-" Jess cuts me off "No...." He shuffles his feet. "I........... Rory....." He becomes quiet. "Jess?" I ask. He looks at me with sad eyes. They looked like a man who just lost everything. "Jess are you okay?" I ask. He's silent. Finally he does something. He hugs me. "I... dont.. want you to go alone...." He mutters. "Okay..."I say. I hear a knock on the door. Jess pulls away and walks to the door and sees Babette. "Oh hey precious!" She greets Jess. I snort and he gives me a playful glare. "I was just wondering if you were all right in here?" Babette says to me. "Oh.. yeah I'm fine..." I say. "Okay, well if you need anything Sugar I'm next door!" Babette says leaving. Jess closes the door and I burst into laughter. "SHE CALLED YOU PRECIOUS! YOU HAVE THE NAME OF A DRAG QUEEN! "I say laughing hysterically. "She called you sugar" He says. "Yeah well it's funnier when you call a guy precious!" I say laughing. Jess smiles and chuckles. "Dork." He calls me.

-long time skip-
We stand outside of Grandma's new home. "Okay... Jess I talk okay?" I tell him. He nods in agreement. I knock. Silence. "Are they home?" Jess asks. Suddenly the door swings open and grandma stands there. "Rory! My, what a pleasant surprise!" She says hugging me. She looks at Jess. "You look familiar..." She says. "I'm Jess." he says holding a hand out for her to shake, in which she does. "Didn't I see you when you were- Oh yes..... You were quite rude when I first met you." She comments. "My apologies." He says. "Well the past is in the past! Come in, come in!" Grandma says. We walk in. "Where's the... woman and her..." I start to ask. "Oh they're in town." She says. "Oh.." I say. "Would you like anything to drink?" Grandma asks. "No thanks... I actually need to tell you something. It's big and I need you to sit down. "I warn. "Goodness, okay. "She says sitting. I sit and Jess sits next to me. "Grandma... um...." I look for words to tell her. "Yes?" She asks. "Um..." I stutter. "Rory?" She asks. "Okay. I'm pregnant." I announce. Grandma stops. "Pregnant?" She repeats. Her jaw is dropped and she looks at Jess. "IS IT HIS!?" She asks in shock. "No!" Both me and Jess say in unison. "WHO'S !?" She asks. "Logan's! Logan Huntzburgers!" I shout. "I need to call Mitchum." Emily says running to the phone. I shoot up and take the phone. "I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT!" I screech. "WHY!?"She asks. My cheeks get warm. "BECAUSE HE'S GETTING MARRIED TO A WONDERFUL GIRL NAMED ODETTE!" I scream. Boom. Entire place goes silent. Jess looks out the glass door and is silent. "You.... slept with someone who was meant to be married?" Grandma asked. "......Yes..." I admitted. Jess remains silent. "At least tell me you're marrying someone..." Grandma says. "..........................." a long string of silence fills the room. Jess looks over to me. "No." I say. "Young lady you mean to tell me you slept with a man who is to be married and you're not getting married to anyone!?" Grandma sounds livid when she says this. "She has help." Jess mutters. "HELP FROM WHO!? A MAN WHO CAN BARELY TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF!?" She screams a him. Jess clinches his fist. ".... Jess let's go..." I say. "We're not done young lady." Grandma says angrily. I snap. "I COME HERE TO TELL YOU I'M PREGNANT AND YOU ATTACK JESS, WHO APPERENTLY IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS HERE FOR ME BESIDES MOM AND LUKE! I'M TIRED! I'M STRESSED AND I WANT TO GO HOME!"I screech. Jess grabs my hand and opens the door. "Let's go..." He says quietly. I walk out the door and grandma slams the door behind me and I hear a crash inside. I see a broken plate from the window. Jess is quiet as we walk and he looks distracted. "Jess?" I ask. "She's right..... how am I supposed to be here for you if I'm barely able to take care of myself?" He asks. "Jess............" I say. "I think I should go...." He says. "No. Jess please........... don't go." I say giving him pleading eyes.
Jess's P.O.V.
She gives me a look. She looks like she's going to cry. "I don't want to lose you too...." She says. I ponder about what I should do. If I stay, her grandmother would be angry but Lorelai... I don't think she'd be mad. And there's Rory. Rory..... Her name alone brings me joy. Her smile. Her laugh. If I could spend a lifetime with one person she'd definitely be the one. "Okay..... I'm sorry..... I'll stay..." I tell her. A wave of relief passes over her. I look at her and hug her. She's suprised but hugs me back. "Jess......" She starts. I pull away and smile. "Come on we gotta go." I say.
TIME SKIPITY
We walk into the house. Lorelai is standing in the kitchen. "Mom I know. Mom. MOM." She says getting louder. I see Rory become pale. "Rory... are you okay?" I ask. "YES I'M AWARE OF THE SITUATION MOM. NO. NO WE'RE NOT- UGH OF COURSE YOU AREN'T GOING TO UNDERSTAND! NO MOM. SHE IS A ADULT!" Lorelai yells over the phone. Rory runs upstairs and I sigh. "NO! MOM YOU CAN'T FORCE A GROWN WOMAN TO MARRY SOMEONE! " She shouts. "Rory?" I call. I all here is coughing and the sound of throwing up. I run upstairs into the bathroom and see Rory laying on the floor sobbing. "Rory?" I ask. "I can't... I can't do this..." She sobs. I grab a pillow and sit down next to her. "You can do this." I tell her. "No I can't. Jess, I slept with a man who is supposed to get married, I got pregnant by that man, I can't tell him, I can't drink coffee, I'm alone, my grandmother doesn't want to speak to me, and after unknown here is born you're going to leave." She sobs. I lift her head and lay it on the pillow that's on my lap. "I never said that I was going to leave after it was born. I said that I'd leave when you didn't need me anymore. "I stated. She looks at me. "You're going to get sick of me..." She says. "Nah. Your mother maybe." I say jokingly. She laughs sadly. "Okay.. Valid point." She says. Two minutes later Rory fell asleep. Lorelai walks upstairs and sees us. She jumps. "When did you two get here !?" She asks. "A few minutes ago. "Oh.... so you talked to my mother...." She changes the subject. "Well.. she talked." I told her. "Ah...." She says understanding the situation. "She thought I got her pregnant and then when we told her I didn't she almost called Logan's father." I told her. Lorelai sighs. "It hurts. To see Rory like this..." Lorelai gestures to her daughter who was asleep. "It does...." I admit. "I have a feeling we're talking about two different things. " Lorelai points out. "Kind of.... Being with Rory.... hurts. It's like looking at your favorite thing and being unable to have it. If that makes sense...." I tell her. "Why can't you be with her?" Lorelai asks. "Because... I hurt her the first time.... What if she hasn't forgiven me for that?" I ask.
Rory's P.O.V.
"What if she hasn't forgiven me? " He asks my mother. He liked me. Still. I'm suprised to hear these words come from Jess... He was never very open about his feelings. Especially around me. He told me it was because he didn't do the 'mushy talking about feelings' and I told him he sounded like Dean Winchester. I knew the real reason why he didn't tell me how he felt was because he felt like his feelings would hurt other people. He's never been that way with his opinions though. If he disliked something he'd let you know it immediately. But the Jess here.... He's different. He's funny. He's kind. He.... Has his guard down.... that's not something Jess has ever done. Well that I'm aware of anyway... He's letting his guard down and telling someone how he really feels. "She's the type that forgives Jess. She forgives but she doesn't forget." Mom tells him reassuringly. "I know... I can't believe I'm saying this but.... I'm scared." Jess admits. "Being scared isn't unusual. It's what makes us human. If you weren't scared or nervous in this situation I'd think you were otherwise dead or the kid from 'The Sixth Sense'." She tells him. He chuckles softly at her movie reference. "Thanks Lorelai..." He says. "No problem." She says getting up. "I've got to talk to Sookie. Can you do me a favor and order us some pizza?" She asks. "Sure." He says. "Cool money's on the fridge." She says leaving. I decide to stay still for another two minutes until I inhale and lean up. "Hmm?" I pretend to have just waken up. "Hey sleepyhead." Jess greets me. " hi...." I say. I sit up and Jess puts the pillow up. "Your mom wanted me to order pizza." Jess says. "Cool..." I say getting up. "Do you want to get a movie?" Jess asks. "Well pizza usually means movie night so..." I point out. "Ah.... so movie and a stop by Doose's to get junk food." Jess says. "Okay. When do we leave?" I ask. "We?" Jess asks. "Yes.... look I see no use in hiding this anymore. If it comes out that I'm pregnant, screw it if they hate me." I say. "Okay..." Jess says. "Let's go. " Jess says.
Time skip
We stand at the movie counter where Taylor greets me and Jess. "Rory! I hope your over that stomach bug." Taylor says. "Not quite. I actually can't get over it until nine months but I'll be fat by then." I say. Jess snickers at my remark and Taylor's eyes widen. "You're......................." Taylor freezes."by the way here's a twenty. Keep the change." I grab our movies and Taylor stands there frozen. Me and Jess run out laughing hysterically. "That was perfect!" Jess says still laughing. I laugh and we walk into Doose's still laughing slightly when I grab a box of red vines. "You know you just started a wild fire?" Jess asks. "Yup." I say grabbing marshmallows. "So you wanted to poke a sleeping bear?" Jess asks. "Screw the system." I say grabbing a apple. "Alright Neo calm down." Jess says. We walk to the register, pay, and leave. "It's not poking a bear. It's poking a bunny. Poking a bear would be telling Paris or Mitchum Huntzburger." I say. "...... true." Jess says realizing what I mean. "Are you going to tell Logan?" Jess asks. I think about it. "No." I say. "He has a fiancé and his father would find out and if it got that big, considering who his family is it'd be a scandal and I don't know if I could take that." I say. We arrive at my house and walk in. "Luke?" I call noticing his shoes next to the umbrella stand. "Yeah?" He replies. I walk into the kitchen and see him eating leftover Chinese. He sees the bags and grabs plates. "Movie night?" He asks. "Yup." I say. "So what movie? " Luke asks. " Chinatown" I reply. "Ah...." Luke says. "Hello?" Mom asks. "In here!" Jess shouts. Mom walks into the kitchen. "What movie?" She asks. "Chinatown!" I say. "Oh good one!" She says.
We all sit down and watch the movie. Mom and Luke take the couch. Me and Jess take the floor. Though out the movie I began to get sleepy and I dropped my head on something that was soft.
Jess's P.O.V.
She fell asleep during the movie and her head landed on my shoulder. I hear soft snoring from Luke and see Lorelai get up. "Hey." She whispers. "Is Rory asleep?" Lorelai asks. I nod. I lift Rory up and take her to her room. I lay her down and walk back into the living room to see a confused Lorelai. "What's up" I whisper. " I don't know how to wake him." Lorelai says. "Easy." I say. I take off Luke's baseball cap and hit him with it. Luke sits up. "Huh?" He asks. "Go to bed upstairs genius. "I tell him. Everyone goes to bed and I sit on the couch. Soon I fall asleep.
