Rory's POV
                          
Rory decided it was better to not buy a pregnancy test near her home, she really could use an ally right now. Her mom was too involved in her wedding plans, and Rory was not ready to tell her mom what she did ...it is a false alarm!! So, she decided to call Paris. When Paris finished her residency, she opened her own Fertility and Surrogate Practice in NYCS. Calling her on her personal mobile number she asked her if they could meet at her office. 
                          
Rory decided to take the train from Hartford to NYC, it was faster than driving in the traffic and trying to find a place to park on E 56th St. Rory got off the train and quickly flagged a cab to take her to Paris' office. She paid the cab driver and walked into the building. Rory quickly walked to the elevator and she pushed the button for the 14th floor. When she got off the elevator she noticed a wall of windows with a door in front of her. She walked into the office. It was tastefully decorated with aquariums of tropical fish and soothing music was playing in the background.  She walked over to the receptionist and told her name.  Just as she was talking to the receptionist she hears Paris coming down the hall.  
                          
"Oh good, Rory you're here."
                          
"I hope you haven't kept her waiting. Never keep her waiting she gets star treatment." She yelled at the receptionist.
                          
"It's ok, Paris, I just got here." Rory said with a smile and giving her a hug.
                          
Paris gave Rory a hug and she followed Paris to her office.
                          
"So, Rory what brings you here?" Paris said looking her straight in her eyes.
                          
"Well ...umm, Paris, I think I am pregnant. I couldn't buy the test in Stars Hollow so I figured you could ummm." Rory mumbled.
                          
"Ok, lets first have you go and get some blood drawn and then I will need a urine sample." Paris said as she pushed the button to call one of her assistants.
                          
"Bridgette please take Miss Gilmore back to have her blood drawn and then have her give you a urine sample. When she is finished quickly send them to the lab and you can bring here to wait in my office." Paris stated
                          
Rory stood up and followed Bridgette down the hall to the bathroom. Bridgette handed her the cup for the urine sample then told Rory to leave it in the little box by the toilet. Rory went into the rest room and luckily, she could give a sample and filled the cup. She quickly put the cover on the cup and placed it in the little window. She washed her hands and then went out into the hall. Bridgette was waiting for her and she followed her down the hall to the lab where a lab technician took her blood sample. When she was done she returned to Paris' office. Rory was only in the office for a few minutes when the door was pushed open and Paris came hustling in.  
                          
Paris sat down at her desk and looked at Rory. 
                          
Paris wouldn't be Paris if she didn't come right to the point, "Ok Gilmore what is this about?  Spill it out! Who is the potential father? Logan Huntzberger - the two-bit, spoiled waste of a trust fund?" Paris said forcefully to Rory.
                          
Rory looked at Paris and said, "Look Paris, I need your help.  I don't want to say right now, but no it's not Logan."
                          
"Well whoever it is I hope he has good genes" Paris adds and Rory still doesn't react
                          
"You know if you wanted to have a child we could have used one of my donors, but you do have a thing for blond trust fund babies. True they are intelligent and handsome but unfortunately they are rebellious and unfaithful." Paris rambled.
                          
Rory half listens to Paris' tirade and gets lost in her own thoughts. Suddenly there is a knock-on Paris' door.
                          
"Come in" Paris barks. Bridgette returns and hands her the paper with the test results. Paris quickly looks at the report than turns it and shows it to Rory. Rory picks up the paper and quickly scans it and there it is the one word she didn't want to see: Pregnant!
                          
Rory promptly feels thee strong urge to be sick and runs into the bathroom that is attached to Paris' office. As she is sitting on the floor by the toilet, she thinks about the consequences and feels sicker than ever before - What should I do!?
                          
Finn's POV
                          
Finn has returned from his trip to Torquay and he is at his work in Adelaide. The time in Torquay was relaxing and he enjoyed it a lot. His phone rings, he smiles when he looks at the caller ID.  He has gotten used to seeing her number. 
                          
"Love, why are you calling today? Miss me already?" he asks coyly.
                          
"Sure, sexy" she teases.
                          
"I knew it, darling. Once addicted, always addicted," Finn teases back, while hearing Eve chuckle.
                          
"Always, gorgeous" Eve replies quick-witted.
                          
"You know, how to bait men, love. How can I help you?" Finn asks.
                          
"You told me, the last time we spoke that I could stay with you while I visit Adelaide. Is the offer still on, sweetheart?" Eve wonders.
                          
"Defo. You can stay as long as you want, darling ...my bed is large enough" Finn says with a smirk.
                          
"Fair enough, see ya next week" Eve replies, also smirking. They both say goodbye and hang up.
                          
Rory's POV
                          
Rory feels as if she is walking in a fog since she got the test result. It has been only a few weeks and nothing in her life seems right. She has no steady job, she still lives at home with her mother and, no boy-friend ...now she is pregnant! Her life feels like a bad movie. 
                          
The following week after seeing Paris, she went to another gynecologist who confirmed her test result.  It hadn't changed, she was still pregnant.
                          
She really wants to talk about it with someone either her mom or Lane. However, she knows that the person she should talk to first about her pregnancy is Finn.
                          
She now realizes how stupid it was of her to have blocked him on every social platform. She even changed her mobile phone number and he could not get in touch with her after New Hampshire.
                          
Rory continues to stay busy with the distraction of her mother's wedding and writing her own book.
                          
"Rory, you seem like you need a break" Lorelai says, thinking Rory is a little more stressed these last few weeks. Lorelai knows that Rory spent one weekend away but, still hasn't told her where she went and with whom. Since that trip Rory was has been extremely busy, but in the last few days she seemed increasingly worried about something.
                          
"Mm-hm. Rory? Is there someone inside this brain?" Lorelai teases, lovingly caressing her daughter's arm.
                          
"What's the matter?" Rory replies absent-minded.
                          
"Rory I have been whining about my wedding dress and shoes for the last hour and you haven't said anything" Lorelai says curiously.
                          
"Nothing is going on" Rory answers, trying to hide her true feelings. This is not the time to tell her mom. Before she says anything to her mom Finn must be told first. It's bad enough that Paris knows she is pregnant. This last week Paris has called every day or left text messages to find out who the father is. Paris at least knows that the father is not Logan.
