Oh Baby!
She woke up feeling a bit iffy, she knew something felt odd but she didn’t know what and right now she didn’t have time to check it out. So she got up and took a bath, after she had done all her routine only one thing was left to do, go to Luke’s.
After a few minutes she was there, she looked thru the window at the door and saw him, all she could see was his back and well ‘lower back’.
“Hey!!” she yelled, and scared him so, he jumped a little bit.
“Gees, do you always have to do that?” he asked as she sat in a stool.
“just sometimes” she grinded, as he put a mug in front of her, when he was a bout
to pour in the coffee she put on hand between the mug and the pot.
“Lorelai!!, don’t do that I could’ve burned your hand” she rolled her eyes.
“¿You don’t want coffee?” Luke was shocked
“Just not in the mood right now”
“¿Are you ok?”
“uh yeah” she said as she stood to leave the diner. Luke walked around the counter and grabbed her right arm with his left hand to stop her.
“Hey what’s wrong?” he asked. Now facing each other.
“Nothing, I just don’t want coffee right now, and you acted as if it was a big crime, as if I had just took a shot a the Pope and that’s weird cuz’ I always thought you wanted me to stop drinking coffee”
”Yeah well it just took me by surprise”
”Yeah well I’m gonna go now”
“Lorelai!” he said still holding her right arm.
“Luke” she whispered as she started to fall backwards.
“Whoa there, Lorelai?” he was now holding her. She didn’t answer.
“Luke honey what’s wrong?” asked Ms. Patty. Luke didn’t hear her, he was to busy caring Lorelai up stairs, one arm in her back an the other one under her knees. He went to his apartment and laid her and his bed, he got onto his knees and just stared at her, I knew something was wrong when she didn’t want coffee he thought to him self.
After a few minutes she woke up, Luke was still in the same position.
“Hey are you ok?” he asked
“Hmm I think so, what happened?” she said while putting a hand in her forehead.
“I don’t know you tell me”
“Well last I remember is, you grilling me bout no drinking coffee, which is still odd if you ask me, and then everything started to spin and then it all got black”
”Ok I know you not drinking coffee has its side effects, but I never thought it would be…”
“Aw crap” she whispered as she cut him of.
“What?” he was confused.
“It’s all so clear now”
”What is?” he was getting more and more confused.
“The iffy filling and now this” she sat on the bed.
“What iffy feeling?” he sat on the side of the bed.
“The one from this morning.” She thought for a second and before Luke said anything “I’m so stupid of course it happened again, stupid iffy feeling.”
“’Again’ this has happened before?. When?”
“Quite a while back”
“Wow, could you narrow that?” he looked concerned
“Bout 20 years”
“HA!” he stood up “ And you remember something that happened to you 20 years ago” it hit him “oh wait, you don’t mean?”
“Yup” she said, looking at him and then looking down.
“B…b…b…but how? I mean I know how, I just, are you umm are you like sure sure bout it?” he started pacing around.
“No, its just a really big and possible option”
“Yeah b…b…but y…you’re not sure?”
“No, Mr. Stutter” she stood up also.
“Hey! well I’m shocked!, I could be a father” he started yelling a towards the end it was almost a whisper.
”I’m shocked to you know!”
“Yeah well you’ve been thru this before, I haven’t!!”
“You know what, why don’t I just go…” she walked towards the door. “And you just stay here and stutter all you want!!”
“No wait!” he grabbed her arm just like he had done so just a few minutes ago.
“Stay, we can talk.” He grabbed both her hands in his “I’m sorry, this… I … it was unexpected, you know? I mean one moment I’m flipping burgers and the next I might be someone’s father.”
“I know what you mean, I just… I feel the same way” tears started to form on the edge of her eyes.
“Hey hey” he pulled her into a hug. “don’t cry, everything is gonna be ok”
“But what if its true and we are having a baby?” she said looking up to him.
“Then I’m just gonna have to be the best dad in the world, I mean I have no other option” he gave her a everything-will-be-ok-I-promise smirk.
“You do know you don’t have to, right?”
“I want it, with all my heart” he gave her a soft kiss.
“Ok then first thing is first. We need to make an appointment to make this official”
”Sure thing, but with who?”
“Duh a doctor” she gave him a silly look
“I know that Lorelai, but do you want one here in Stars Hollow?” he said looking into her eyes.
“No, not really. Let’s make it in Hartford” when she turned her face she glanced onto the clock in the kitchen “A crap!!”
“What?, What’s wrong?”
“I’m late!” she said as she broke free from his arms.
“Ok then that makes this whole pregnancy more official”
“What? Oh, no! Luke” she thought for a while “Well actually yes that’s true.” She snapped back into reality “No!, wait I meant the inn” she saw him smiling “What are you so happy about?”
“The way you babble… and the fact that I might be a father” she felt the truth in his eyes and saw them filled with love.
“Aw you big softy” she kissed him and the she was out of his apartment.
After that they went on with there day as normal as possible, all though Luke couldn’t kept he thought away from his mind I’m gonna be a father, WOW this is big, I’m gonna be someone’s daddy, I can’t wait!… wow was that me? Yes it was, and it’s true, I can’t wait.
“Luke!” Kirk yelled. Bringing Luke back from his picture perfect family.
“What?!” he barked back, a little pissed of at him for popping his day dream.
“Do you sell cappuccino?”
“What?” he asked in disbelieve. “You know I don’t do that crap!”
“Ok, sorry, go back to whatever it was that was making you smile”
“I was not smiling”
“Un huh”
“Nuh huh”
“I bet it had something to do with Lorelai, and I bet it was dirty”
“Kirk! Leave, Now!” Luke barked
“That just means I was right”
“Kirk!” he gave him a threatened look, and Kirk was out of there faster than coffee in a Gilmore’s house.
Later that night when the inn duties had finally let Lorelai go home she took quite a big surprise when she saw the lights on inside her house, I mean it wasn’t odd before but now that Rory was at Yale it definitely was odd. As she walked in something instantly kicked her nose, something smelled like heaven there.
“Hey there” she said walking behind him and wrapping her arms around his waist.
“Oh hey, bout time you got here, this is almost ready” he said pointing to the pasta.
“Mhmm” she said as she started kissing his back and moving up to the back of his neck, which made shivers run thru all of his body.
“Stop that, I need to… to… something” he said as her hand’s had gotten underneath the front of his shirt and she was now rubbing his flat abs and slowly working herself down towards his jeans.
“Stop” he said as he put his hand on top of hers just a she was gonna start to unbuckle his belt. He then turned around. “Please, we need to…” he was cut of by her lips on his. What started like a normal kiss soon enough became more and more passionate, his hands were at her sides his palm was half in her jeans and the other half out. When she bit his lower lip his hands moved fast to the front part of her pants he grabbed her belt and in one quick motion he pulled her up and she rapped her legs around his waist. After a while she was pressed against the refrigerator with her legs around his waist and her hand on his cap-less head, his hands were both placed on the refrigerator. “couch” she whispered into his ear, he then started moving towards the living room. Once on the couch he was on top of her starting to get all hot and heavy when suddenly he just pulled back and stood up.
“What’s Wrong?” she asked with a quizzed look on her face. While she sat supporting hey weight on her elbows
“I can’t”
“Yes you can, I know you can” she said it with a smirk, remembering how he was growing hard against her.
“No, I don’t mean I can’t can’t cuz’ God knows I can and I want to also”
“Then hop back over here mister”
“Uh I think I better not” he took a few steps back away from her.
“What? Why not?”
“Because you’re… uh… you know?” he said pointing towards her stomach.
“Yeah so?” she sat up straight and put on hand on her stomach.
“What if I do something to hurt it?” he looked concerned.
“Aw, honey, that’s so sweet…” she said with a smile while standing up, and walking towards him.
“But?”
“But, it’s ok, if I am pregnant…” she took his hands in hers “nothing wrong is gonna happen if we… you know” she kissed him softly.
“Yeah, I guess, but I would feel so much better if I heard that from the doctor” he looked at her with pleading eyes
“Ok, then we should go to the kitchen and eat” she pulled him into the kitchen.
ThE NeXt MoRnInG
“Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep” he said into her ear. She swung her arm and smacked him in the head.
“Hey!, what was that for?”
“If you want to be an alarm clock you’re gonna have to deal with all the perks, good and bad” she smiled with her eyes still closed.
“Get up, we need to leave in two hours” he said poking her forehead.
“That’s a long time from now”
“It will take you forever to get ready, I know you”
“Hey!” he gave her a knowing look, “Ok maybe you do” she thought for a while “Where are we going again?”
“You’re kidding right?”
“Yes I am, how do you think I’d forget the fact that we may be parents” she kissed his bottom lip “Morning” she smiled.
“Morning, so are you up now? Can I go make breakfast now?” he said as he got up.
“Yes and no” she sat up
“What?” he turn to face her as he was putting his pants on.
“Yes I’m up, and no I don’t want nothing to eat, but I will go for…” she smiled
“No!, no coffee” he cut her of.
“I wasn’t gonna say that”
“Yeah you were” he gave her a knowing look.
“No mister know it all, I was gonna say that I will go for… um…a…”
“Um…a…” he said mocking her “Liar”
“Another kiss!” she yelled “That’s what I wanted” she gave him the smile she know he cant resist
“That I’ll give you” they kissed “So, what do you wanna to eat?” he said as he pulled away.
“Agh” she said making an odd face.
“What?” he looked puzzled
“No food, iffy feeling back today”
“Oh, so… what now?”
“Shower” she thought “And hopefully no throwing up would be involved” she said with a smile while holding her stomach.
“Not funny” he raised his eyebrows.
When they got to the doctors office the secretary had them check in their name and wait a couple of minutes.
“Gilmore Lorelai” the secretary called out.
“Yeah?” She said, as they stood up. “you can go in now” Luke put his hand on her back and walked next to her.
“Hi in Dr. Matthews” she said, as she walked in.
“Hi I’m Lorelai and this is my…Luke, this is my Luke” she said hesitant. And noticed Luke looked at her when she said it.
“Nice to meet you, so I understand that you are here for a pregnancy test, right?”
“Yes” Luke responded really fast and eager to know the answer
“Ok, good to know you are excited. So, I’ll be needing some blood”
“Do you have to do it by blood?” Lorelai asked, hoping no would be the answer.
“I’m afraid so, not a big fan of needles huh?” she said as she grab the biggest needle that was displayed on the little table by the bed.
“Um, no, how did you notice?” she said staring to the needle as she turned a little pale.
“Lor, are you ok?” Luke asked looking to see an expression in her eyes, it was panic.
“No, not if that thing is gonna be in my arm” she said as she pointed to the needle with a weird look.
“It’s gonna be ok” he said grabbing her head and making her look at him.
“Easy for you to say…” she closed her eyes as she felt the alcohol filled cotton ball in her arm. “Oh my God, oh my God here it comes oh my…” Luke cut her of with a kiss, a long kiss, he open one of his eyes to look at the doctor had just finished taking the blood and he stopped the kiss. “…God, that’s a good way to make me calm before the blood taking”
“I’m done” said Dr. Matthews.
“What?” she looked at her band aid in her arm, then back at Luke “good job mister” Luke blushed.
“Good idea sir. Ok this will take 10 to 15 minutes so I’ll be going and be back with the answer”
“Ok” they said at the same time.
They were quiet for a while just looking at the little office with all the maternity stuff in it.
“So, your Luke huh?” he said with one eye brow sticking up.
“Oh, um… she just… and I just… I didn’t know what to say she got me off guard and” she babbled
“Shh…” he said as got closer to her and put his hands on her waist. “I am yours, all yours” he said as he leaned in.
“Good to know” she kissed him, a long one.
The doctor walked back in. “Ok so the results are in” she opened a folder where her file and the answer was in. “Ok right here it says that you to will be parents in about 26 weeks”
“Wow” was all Luke could say
“Ok so do you guys have any questions before you go?” she asked closing the folder and turning towards them.
“Oh, yes!, can you please tell him that it’s ok to… you know… for us to… well you know” she said with a knowing face.
“Hahaha, yes it is perfectly ok for you two to do it.” She said with a mocking look in her face.
“Told ya” Lorelai said nudging on Luke’s shirt. He just blushed. The doctor smiled and left the room, telling them they can go home now.
They went to the parking lot, on their way to their car.
“Ok so where to, Sookie’s or Yale?” asked Luke, with his hand on her lower back.
“Neither, that was the thing I wanted to ask you” she told him with puppy eyes.
“What’s wrong?” he was truly concern.
“Oh, nothing is truly wrong…” she took his hands in hers “it’s just that I’ve heard that it’s bad luck to say you’re pregnant before the second trimester, soo…”
“You don’t want them to know?”
“No.” she said with a small smile.
“Not even Rory?”
“No, I know I might be a little hard.” He gave her a are-you-kidding look “Ok a lot hard.” He smiled
“That’s better. But hey how are you gonna do that when you can go 1 minute with her without spilling your guts out?”
“I don’t spill all my guts” she said with a surprised look.
“Yes you do” he said knowingly. They were getting in the car. “So how are you gonna keep it to yourself?”
“Well…” she raised an eyebrow. “We can go for a ‘vacation’, a month long vacation.”
“We?” he said looking to the passenger seat.
“So I see you are just as excited as I am” she said in her really happy voice.
“No, not we as in ‘wee this is fun’, but we as in you and me.” He explained.
“Yes, you the future daddy…” she said touching her still flat stomach. “And me, the person who is carrying your future baby.” She smiled, knowing she had conned him into it.
“Not fair, you cant use that card again for one more week at least” he saw her thru the corner of his eye’s.
“So… is that a yes?” she said with big wide eyes.
“Sure, why not, I can get someone to cover me at the diner. And I got the perfect place we can go” she smiled
“Where?”
“You’ll have to wait and see” he grinded.
“Mean!, ok so, you think we can leave tomorrow?” she asked hopefully.
“So soon?” she nodded “Ok I think I can manage that”
“Great!!, I can wait!”
Later that day, when they were in her house packing, well Luke packing for her while she was at the phone.
“So you are leaving for a whole month?!” Rory asked confused
“Yep, isn’t that great?” she was hopping she would agree with her.
“And Luke said yes?”
“Yes… what do you think?” eager to know her daughters answer.
“Well… I think its great… if you two really want to go, then ok see you in one month.”
“It’s good to know you approve” she sighted a relive sight.
“Good, so where are you going” she said making
“I have no idea”
“What?, you do know that is called kidnapping”
“ha-ha, no that’s called surprising you pr… your girlfriend” she said the last part quickly.
“His what?” she didn’t understand.
“His girlfriend, his girlfriend. Oh look at that I have to go now, see you in a month bye hon.” And with that she hung up. “God that was close” she whispered, and patted her stomach.
“Ah crap!” Luke yelled from up stairs.
“What?!, are you ok?, oh my God!, why are you bleeding?!?!” she babbled in concern as she went to where Luke was on the floor rubbing the back side of his shoulder. Next to him was a bunch of suitcases and the coat rack lying on the floor.
“I’m fine…” he looked at his bloody hand that had been on his shoulder “at least I think so”
“Ok, get up” she ‘helped’ him up. And pushed him to the bathroom so he could sit on the closed toilet and made him take his shirt off, so she could help his wound. “Eww, how the hell did you do this?” she said pointing to his cut with a ‘yuck’ face.
“Stupid suitcase, stupid coat rack, with those stupid edges, that by the way we are getting ride of when the baby is born. Ahhh!!” she started curing his cut.
“Sorry” a small smile escaped her lips. “So, What happened?”
He sighted loudly “I kinda kicked one of the suitcases which pushed the coat rack and it fell right on my back, and well you know the rest.”
“Ouch!, well I’ll finish up packing, now that the hazard is gone” she smiled “All done”
“Thanks, and no, I’m almost done packing. Just go to bed cuz’ we’ll leave really extremely early, so don’t be mad when I wake you up at six.” He looked hopefully into her eyes.
“Six! You’ll wake me at six?!” she was shocked.
“Yeah, I want to get there early. You can sleep in the car” he gave her a sorry smile.
“Fine, good night babe” she kissed him.
“Night, I wont be long.
After he finished packing the suitcases and loading them in her jeep he was off to bed. The next morning when he woke up he notice that she wasn’t there which was odd because it was barely 5am. He got out of bed to look for her, first he went to the bathroom but she was not there, then as he was walking downstairs he saw her in the couch, she was hugging her knees and had her head on resting on top of them.
“Hey” Luke said.
“Hmm.”
“What’s wrong?, do you know its 5am?, are you ok?” he said as he was sitting down next to her.
“Yes, I know it’s 5am, cuz’ I’ve been up for more than an hour puking my guts out” she said without lifting her head.
“Oh, the pregnancy morning sickness thing?” he was rubbing her back.
“M-hmm”
“Do you want anything?” he leaned closer to her.
“For you to stop talking”
“Fine I’ll just go take a bath, and leave the door open just in case”
“Shh.”
After a while they were on the road, she was falling asleep in the passenger’s seat.
“Lorelai?” he whispered as he nudged on her shoulder.
“Hmm?” she was still asleep.
“Wet up we’re here” he whispered in her ear.
“M-Hmm”
noticing that she hadn’t slept last night he decided to get everything in the house and then went to her side and got her out and carried her inside once inside he placed her up in their room. He went back downstairs and started to get everything settled in. about an hour had passed and he was making lunch when he had finished he carried up a tray with food. She was sitting on the bed watching her surroundings.
“Hey there sleeping beauty” he sat in the edge of the bed next to her
“Hmm, I like the beauty part”
“feeling better” he push a strand of hair behind her ear.
“Way better” she nodded.
“Good, well you better eat something” he said handing her the tray, that had a steak and mash potatoes.
“Agh…” she said making a face and pushing the tray away. “Don’t get me wrong I bet it tastes delicious but I’m not in a very steak-y kinda mood”
“Ok I understand that…” she gave him a ‘do-you-really-understand’ look “Ok I don’t really understand, but I’ll make anything you feel like, only if its healthy and not coffee.”
“Ok, I wasn’t even gonna ask for coffee anyway.” She smiled and they walked back down.
“Good to know” he smiled as the entered the kitchen.
“Hey, can I ask you a question?”
“Sure”
“Where are we?”
“In the middle of nowhere”
“That I know, but where?”
“Well my dad got this place when I was born so we could come every summer, and swim” he pointed out the window.
“Wow, there’s a beach!” she said looking out the window.
“Yep.” She went back to where he stood and kissed him deeply.
The month went by fast, nothing mayor happened she still had morning sickness, but they had died down, they walked and swam all month long, without forgetting to do what had gotten them pregnant. It was time to go to the doctors and see for the first time the baby in the ultrasound. After that they were going back to stars hollow, even though she wanted to stay there, with the sun, sand, waves and the fact that it was just the two of them, well actually the three of them.. She was standing in the kitchen looking out the window at some kid with his dad playing catch, she was wearing only her bikini. When Luke came quietly behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist resting his hands on the small bump that had grown in that short month.
“Hey” he said kissing the back of her neck.
“Hmm, nice way to say good morning” she smiled and shut her eyes while putting her hands on top of his.
“Nice to know you like it” he continued to kiss along her neck and onto her back.
“I wish we had time…” a small mown escaped her. “but…”
“But what?” he turned her so he could face her.
“Doctors appointment.” Was all she could say before he shushed her buy kissing her deeply. Then he pulled away suddenly. “Wha…”
“You’re right lets go.”
“You are a very very mean man.”
“Am not.” He said heading towards the door.
“Well not always but just now, there, yes you were” she put on a fake sad face.
“Ok, what do you say if after the appointment I take you to eat breakfast any place you want?” he said walking back and grabbing her by the waist.
“Hmm I don’t know…” he kissed her “Ok I guess we could eat something” she told him as if she didn’t really wanted to go.
“Good now lets go” he let go of her waist and grabbed one of her hands.
“No, wait” she pulled him back by the arm that was grabbing her.
“What?” he turned to face her.
“Just that I forgot something”
“Oh yeah, what?” he looked deep into her eyes.
“This” she grabbed his face in her hands and kissed him.
“Oh yeah can’t forget that” he finally said something after a long long kiss.
When they got to Dr. Matthews they were 10 minutes late.
“I’m so very sorry” Luke said embarrassed.
“It’s ok, good to know you are good”
“Oh we are good…” she winked at the Dr. and elbowed Luke on the ribs. “We are more than good, if you know what I mean”
“Lorelai!” Luke turned a little reddish.
“Hahaha, good to know. Ok why don’t you come with me. Luke you go wait in that room and you Lorelai get changed into this robe in that other room” she pointed and they both went their separated ways, a few minutes later she was all dressed and was now lying in a little bed an ultrasound machine and the doctor on one side, and Luke holding her hand on the other.
“Ok two things, number one, I’m extremely sorry but the speakers on this thing burst yesterday so there is no sound, sorry.”
“Oh…” said Lorelai a little disappointed “It’s ok all we want is to know if its ok.”
“Good, that I can do” said the Dr.
“What’s the second?” Luke asked a little concerned.
“What?” Lorelai looked a little out of place.
“She said two things, what’s the second one?” he started explaining to Lorelai and ended almost barking to the Dr.
“Oh, it’s nothing I was gonna say that the gel is gonna be a little cold.” She said with a little smile.
“Oh” Luke said a little ashamed at the way he had talked to the kind Dr.
“That’s ok” said Lorelai with a dismissive look and wave. “Holly mother of coffee!. That is cold”
“Sorry” said the Dr.
After the appointment Lorelai had told Luke to head for Yale, cuz’ now she was able to tell Rory and suddenly she couldn’t wait. But something happened on their ride there.
“Hey Lorelai?”
“Hmm yeah?” she turned her look from the window towards him.
“What are we gonna do?” he looked at her for a second.
“We are gonna go to Yale and tell Rory bout’ the baby”
“No, that’s not what I meant”
“Ok, then what?” she turned her body a little so she could stare to his side more easily.
“Umm… well… are you gonna wanna get married?”
Shocked “What?!”
“Well we are gonna have a baby, so I just thought of marriage, I know we’ve known for a month or so now, but I just haven’t found the right time to talk bout it.” He explained.
“And now is the best time to talk about it??” she asked still shocked
“Well not the best time but I thought about it and there is never gonna be the best time to ask you to marry me.”
“To do what?”
“Ask you to marry me…” he looked over to her and her reaction. “I’m serious, I mean it’s not like I was never going to, and well now with the baby…” he put his hands on the little bump in her stomach, she grinded and put her hand on top of his. “I just think that the time is good. What do you say?”
“No, I say no Luke…” she saw the look on his face and how the hand that was on her stomach loosened a little. “Wait, I don’t mean no as I ‘no never’ it’s just that if you were gonna do it later in a few months I don’t see why you are gonna do it now, no wait I know why, but I just don’t want to hurry into this.” There was silence for a little while then she squeezed his hand that was on her stomach “But yes” she quietly said.
“What?”
“I said ‘yes’, yes I wanna marry you, that’s all I’ve ever wanted to do since we started dating. I just don’t wanna hurry into it, I wanna wait till’ this baby is born. If that’s ok with you.” She explained as she rubbed his hand.
“Yes I think I can live with that” he smiled and removed his hand from her stomach and placed it on her thigh and gave it a small squeeze
The rest of the drive went by quietly and fast. When they arrived to the dorm rooms Lorelai called Rory’s cel and told her if she wasn’t busy if she could go out side to the parking lots.
“Hey honey!” yelled Lorelai. They were both outside the car Luke was leaning onto the drivers door and Lorelai was leaning against his chest, his hands were on top of her stomach and her were on top of his.
“Mom! Why are you here?” she said as she approach them.
“Well nice to see you to hon.”
“No, I don’t mean it like that. Its just that, is everything ok?” she gave her mom a kiss on the cheek.
“Of course it is, why would you ask that?” she faked the quizzed look.
“Well because it’s the middle of the week and you are at my school”
“Well the fact that I was away for a month and missed you tons doesn’t qualify as a good reason?”
“Yes it does, and I missed you tons to.” She looked over to Luke “Why are you really here and did you bring me something from you vacation?”
“Well…” he started but was cut of when Lorelai pinched his hand. “Ow!! What the hell was that for?!” Rory smiled.
“What?…” she asked with an innocent look. “Hey Rory wanna go get something to eat? Luke’s treat” she smiled.
“Sure, but what about my gift?”
“Oh, will give it to you there” Lorelai said while getting in the car.
Lorelai was careful to hide her stomach so she wouldn’t spoil the surprise. It took them forever to decide where to eat, but once they had it took them no time to get there. The ride there was quiet for some strange reason.
“We’re here the infamous ‘Red Lobster’” Luke said as he parked the car.
“Mom why here?, you hate lobster.” She said as they got out of the car and walked towards the door.
“But Luke likes it” she lied.
“I do?” he said as he put an arm around her shoulder. Her hands were crossed a little below her breast. She elbowed him. “Oh, I do” he reaffirmed.
“Ok, you guys are weird.”
“Thank you” Lorelai said
They were seated.
“Hi I’m Libby I’ll be your waitress this fine evening, so here are your menus…” she gave them the menus “Would you like something to drink?”
“Yeah, will you bring two coffee’s and one beer” Rory said trying to be helpful.
“All right.” Libby said as she wrote it all down.
“On second thought…” Lorelai said. “Make that two teas and one coffee” she smiled at Libby and avoided Rory’s glare.
“Ok.” Libby wrote that down and left to get the drinks.
“Mom?” Rory was stearing at her but she didn’t look at her, she just kept looking towards the corner where Libby had disappeared. “Mom!” she was frustrated.
“Yeah hon.” She said rising her eyebrows, and Luke just looked down and thought boy she’s got a nerve, she can evade anything for a long period of time.
“No coffee?, I mean that weird enough but you wanting tea by your own free will is much more weirder. What’s going on?, how did Luke get to you so fast?” she said with a smile.
“Hahaha, tell you what. Let’s go to the lady’s room and I promise I’ll tell you everything ok?
“Hmm, sure let’s go.” She said as she got up.
“Whoa wait what about me?” Luke said pointing to himself.
“You just wait here, and miss us” Lorelai gave him a loving look.
“Ok, I think I can do that” he smiled so did she.
Lorelai made Rory walk in front of her, once they got in the bathroom Lorelai checked if someone was there once she noticed they were alone she locked the door.
“Mom! What are you doing you cant do that!”
“Oh yes I can, I just did” she said with a smirk.
“Ok, what’s going on?” she got really serious.
Lorelai took a deep breath.
“Ok the whole month that just passed, the one were we left…” Rory nodded. “Well it wasn’t really a vacation. I told Luke to take me a place far away from the town… and… well… you, it’s not that I didn’t wanna be close to you, its just that I knew if I was near you I wouldn’t have control myself and I would’ve told you, actually the night I called you to tell you that we were leaving it almost slipped out of me, and that was what a five minute conversation, I’m not good at hiding stuff from you, that’s why I told him to take me away and he knows it to that’s why he did take me away” Lorelai caught her breath.
“Mom, what the hell are you babbling about?” she thought a bit. “Did you say you were hiding something from me?” Rory looked into her mothers eyes.
“I’m pregnant” she lifted her t-shirt a bit to let her daughter she the little bump that was now her stomach. Rory was speechless. “Say something”
“Wh…wh…when, how?” she just stared at her mother’s stomach, while slowly approaching it with her hand.
“Well I doubt you really wanna know when, and I sure know you know how.” While she was talking Rory put one hand on her tummy and Lorelai put a hand on top of her daughters.
“Yeah, why didn’t you tell me or anyone for that matter, why run away for a month?” she still had her hand there.
“Because I’ve heard that it’s bad luck to tell before your second trimester, and I don’t want anything going wrong” she smiled. “Hon, tell me what your thoughts are about this”
“Do you really want to know?” she said with a serious face and tone.
“Yes” she was starting to worry.
“I think it’s grate, Luke is a grate guy, you two are really in love and its about time you gave me my first grade present. Remember I asked you for a baby on my birthday…” Lorelai nodded “Yeah well it took long enough” Rory smiled and after so did Lorelai.
“So you’re ok?” she asked again
“Yes! So I am the first one to know huh?” she smiled
“Well, besides me, Luke and the doctor? Yes you are the first”
“Good to know” she removed her hand and opened the door. “Lets go, a future father to be is waiting, Oh wait is that why you wanted to come here?”
“Yeah, baby wants lobster.” She shrugged her shoulders.
They went back to the table, Rory hugged Luke and congratulate him he blushed but was happy to know she was ok with the baby. During dinner they talked about the beach house, bout the baby and her moms symptoms. The ate took Rory back to Yale and headed home.
Back in Stars Hollow they drove past the center of town and while they were driving throw the diner an idea popped in Lorelai’s head.
“Hey Luke?” she said as she turned a little to look at him.
“Yeah?” he raised an eyebrow.
“Will you move?”
“What?”
“Will you move in…” she saw his inexpressible face. “I mean with me and the baby, cuz’ we’re alone you know, Rory is at Yale and you are all the way over at the diner, so baby…” she said pointing to her stomach. “and me are all alone in the house, and that’s not safe” she rambled.
“Sure” he just said it like that, while he gave her a fast gaze.
“Sure?”
“Yeah, I mean if you really want me to, and I bet you do cuz’ that was a quite a ramble…” he smiled “I mean how unsafe can one be in starts hollow?” he had a smirk on his face.
“Oh, shut up…” she smacked him on the arm. “So was that a yes” she raised and eyebrow. They had gotten to their house.
“Yes” he leaned in and gave her a peck on the lips.
“Good” she smiled.
“Now go inside make yourself comfy and I will get the suitcase’s out and get everything settled” he said as they got out of the car.
“No” she simply said.
“No? what do you mean now?” he had a puzzled look on his face as she walked around the car and took his hand in her.
“I mean no, you can do that tomorrow while I’m getting bombed with a million questions. But right now I have a better idea” she was pulling him inside while wearing a big smile.
“I like how you think” they were already inside and Luke pulled her to him.
“I thought you would” she smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck, then she began to lean in, just before they kissed he pulled away. “Hey!”
“What?” he gave her a smirk, let go of her and turned around to start walking towards the living room. She started to follow him but just where he turned for the living room she went for the kitchen. If he wants to play hard to get, he is gonna lose. She said to herself.
After a few minutes he shifted in his seat I’m not gonna give in not, not, not. Focus Danes, there’s a good baseball game on! Focus!!! He kept telling himself.
Suddenly she came into the living room carrying a beer and gave it to him, he didn’t blink away from the screen Man! Its hard not to look at her. When she gave him the beer she went back to the kitchen He is not gonna win, I’m the queen of ALL games. She walked back to the living room with a bottle of water went straight for the couch but just as soon as she was close she headed to the back of the couch. What’s she gonna do? Just keep focusing Luke! Ok. Ok look bat, ball, glove… why is she standing right behind me?
Lorelai started to fix the magazines that were on the table behind the couch, which by some strange coincidence were right behind Luke, when she finished with the magazines she wiggled the monkey lamp, she ‘accidentally’ dropped the closed bottle of water and it made a thump on the floor.
“You ok” Luke asked eyes still on the game.
“Hmm yeah” she said rising an eyebrow at his indifference. Ok that’s it IM gonna win and I know just how.
She picked the bottle up and placed it on the table she walked around the couch, he still didn’t look away from the TV. She stood at his side looking down at him. When he didn’t look up she walked up to him and sat on his lap with one leg on each of his side, she placed her arms on the back of his head.
“I can’t see” he said as he tilted his head to the left its not like if I’m watching this anyway.
“Oh, I think I can fix that” she said with a flirt-y voice. She leaned her head to her left and started kissing his neck. Luke Danes you are mine.
God did she HAVE to go for neeeeck the filling of her lips where making even his thought blur. He now had his eyes closed so he could enjoy to the fullest what she was doing to him. After a couple of minutes, she smiled I knew he would come around. She thought as she began to feel how he grew harder under her. Aw crap she’s got me now. Who cares if I lose at this I got HER and that’s not losing in any way. He grabbed her by the waist and in a quick but careful move he laid on her back.
“Ok I lose” he said as he was putting her down.
“I knew you would” she said with a smile.
“Mean” he said with narrowed eyes.
“I know” still smiling.
He started kissing her hungrily as she was undoing his shirt, soon enough neither of them had a shirt on. She had her nails deep in his back and her legs tight around his waist.
“Too small” she said as he was kissing her earlobe.
“You do know how to talk sexy to a guy”
“I mean the couch…God…you know…there are…three of us now…and…besides…the couch was never big enough” she was breathing roughly.
He looked up and saw she was right, he wrapped his arms around her back and lifted her, they were sitting again and kissing again.
“You do know this is now what I meant?” she said as she pulled away a little bit.
“Yes, I was just gathering myself” he said and then he stood up in one quick motion with her still on him.
“Hmm, very skillful, to bad you are not gonna be able to that soon” she said looking straight into his eyes.
“Well we are just gonna have to think of another ways” he wave her a smirk and raised an eyebrow.
“Hmm I like that” she started kissing him again.
They got to the bed in no time, after a while, well a long while, there they were just resting. She was on her back, he was on his stomach but his head was on her stomach and his right hand caressing the remaining free part of her stomach.
“Sounds funny” he said with a smile.
“Yeah? I wish I could hear it, how does it sound?” she asked combing his hair with her fingers.
“Sound like your hungry” he turned to face her with a smile.
“Really?” she opened her eyes wide.
“Uh-huh” he kissed her stomach.
“Hmm,…” she made a thinking face “Well I actually am”
“Thought so” he got up slightly and leaned in and gave he a loving kiss.
“Hmm, I can eat that all day” she pulled him down by his neck and made the kiss more passionate.
“We’re gonna go to your parents tomorrow morning” he blurted out when they came up for air.
“Wow way to kill the mood there mister” she pushed him aside.
“I was not trying to kill the mood” he ran his thumb down her cheekbone.
“Well that was no sweet talk…”she raised her eyebrows. “And what do you mean, we are gonna go to my parents tomorrow morning?!”
“We have to tell them” he had his hand on her stomach and was rubbing it with his thumb.
“Well we can probably get away without telling them.” As soon as he was gonna say something she added “Or we can wait till the baby talks and make it tell them.” She said with a wide smile.
“Don’t think so, hey think of it this way…” but she interrupted him.
“She’ll be mad I didn’t tell her as soon as I found out” she was stressing out.
“Look she wont be mad when she knows that Rory just found out yesterday and that nobody else knows, that’s why we have to go tomorrow morning so no one in Stars Hollow gets the chance to notice us here” he explained, with his hand still on her stomach.
“Well once you put it like that, and knowing that you are gonna be the one to explain then its ok”
“Good…” he thought “Wait! No, What?! I’m not gonna be the one to tell her, neither are you, we are gonna tell her together. And she will be happy, and understand why you did it”
“Ok then…” she put her hand on his “I’m hungry now” she pouted at him.
He sighted “what do you want”
“Goody!!!!” she thought “I don’t know, I’ll just go with you and see what I might want” she put on his flannel and he just put on his boxers
“Hurry up I don’t wanna see any stars hollow people!” he yelled up the stairs.
“Hey don’t hurry a pregnant woman!” she yelled from the bathroom.
“I wouldn’t have to if the pregnant woman wouldn’t take an hour and a half getting ready!” he got the key’s
“Oh, hey we can’t leave” she said coming down the stairs.
“What?” he turned to face her.
“The jeep is full of luggage cuz’ someone didn’t unload it” she poked his chest.
“Cuz’ you told me not to besides we have the truck so let go” he jiggled the keys and pushed her out the door. It was still dark outside.
Once on the road Lorelai was looking out the window to nothing in particular, Luke just focused on the road.
“Did you call her?” she said not turning to look at him.
“What?” eyes still on the road.
“My mom, did you call my mom, cuz’ she doesn’t like when people show up without proper announcement” she turned to face him.
“Yes I did, I told her that because he hadn’t seen them for over a month we wanted to have breakfast with them” he explained and glanced over to her a couple of times.
“And she bought that?” she had a shocked look.
“Well apparently yes”
There was a bit of silence for a while, Lorelai turned to look outside again.
“Do you like balloons?” she said while turning to face him and put one hand on her stomach.
“What?!” he said it chuckling.
“Do you like balloons?” she said raising her eyebrows.
“You’re crazy…” she just stared at him “Are you serious?...” she nodded “What kind of balloons?”
“The big ones?” she had a serious expression on her face.
“Well yes I guess, where is all of these coming from?” he looked at her from the corner of his eye.
“Are you still gonna love me when I look like a huge balloon?”
“Are you serious?!” she nodded “Of course I’ll still love you, there’s nothing in this world that would make me change my mind on that, don’t worry” he put his hand on her thigh and gave it a little squeeze.
“Good to know, sooooooo do we really have to go?” she pouted.
“Yes she’ll have to find out eventually and better now that later” he explained without seeing her because he knew that if he did he would give in.
After a while they got there.
“Ring the bell”
“I don’t want to. Take your shirt of” she was looking at him.
“What?!” his eyes widen.
“Take your shirt of and give it to me…” she saw the confused look on his face. ”So I can put it on and not show of my belly” she said as she gave a few taps on her stomach.
“And what will I wear?” he raised his eyebrows.
“Your under shirt” she said with a Duh-You’re-Supposed-To-Know-That tone in her voice.
“You want me to wear my white undershirt to your parents house for breakfast?” he was just asking to make sure he heard her correctly.
“Yes” she simply said.
“You’re crazy. But apparently I’m crazier cuz’ I’m actually doing this” he said as he took of his blue plaid shirt and handed it her.
“Thank you, love you” she smiled as she put the shirt on.
“Love you too, now ring the bell” he pushed her towards the doorbell.
“Mean!” she pouted as she rang the doorbell.
Strangely enough and for their bad luck Emily answered the door.
“You’re late and what on earth are you wearing?!” she said looking at Lorelai with a strange face.
“Sorry bout’ that Miss. Gilmore” Luke said politely.
“I was cold mom, and made Luke give me his shirt” she explained “Are we gonna go in or just hang here all day”
“Ok well, come in” she said snooty.
The three of them walked into the living room, Emily walked in front of them, Luke had his arm around Lorelai’s waist.
“Well to what do I owe this visit?” she said looking at Lorelai.
“Umm, well mom you do know we went for a vacation?” she said grabbing Luke’s hand in hers.
“Yes I do Lorelai” she responded dryly.
“Well… we… umm… kinda lied” she stated.
“What do you mean… Oh My God… you eloped? You did didn’t you?”
“What?! No!!” said Lorelai
“Then what?” she was starting to get anxious.
“Well we did go away for a whole month but not for the reasons we told you and Rory” she started to explain but didn’t continue from there.
“So?” she was very anxious now.
“Well Lorelai, thought it would be for a grater good if we just disappeared for a month or so” Luke started to explain.
“Why?” she was annoyed now.
“Well… umm… did you ever…umm… here people say that… umm… it’s better if you don’t say anything…” she just stopped, she couldn’t go on.
“About what?!” she was all kinds of annoyed, pissed, and anxious. Why is she going around in circles, it can’t be as bad as eloping.
“Well Miss. Gilmore…” Luke started but Lorelai cut him of.
“I’m pregnant” she just blurted out. On my God oh my God oh my God what did I just do.
“Is this supposed to be some kind of a joke Lorelai? Because it’s not funny” Emily said and Lorelai got up and took Luke’s shirt off to reveal her tiny stomach. Emily just sat there looking at her grown belly with a shocked face.
“No, mom I told Luke that its bad luck to tell people before your second trimester, so he said that how was I supposed to keep this to me and not tell Rory or Sookie bout’ this especially when they asked why was I throwing up every morning, so we decided to go for the whole month left of my first trimester…” she stopped to catch her breath, look at Emily’s reaction, shocked, and sit down to grab Luke’s hand. “So yesterday we went to the Dr. appointment and after that we went to Yale to tell Rory. She is thrilled by the way throw the roof…” still no reaction from Emily and Luke just squeezed her hand. “So after the whole Yale and Rory thing we went back to the Hollow it was night so no one saw us and well this morning we came here to tell you…” no reaction yet “So the only people who know are you, Rory, Luke, the Dr and me”
“I can’t believe you’d do that” she said indifferently.
“Do what?” now it was Lorelai’s turn to be shocked.
“Get knocked up again and wait, what was it 2 months to tell your mother”
“Excuse me?!” she was getting mad.
“I did not get knocked up again!!” she said rather loudly. “And we didn’t tell anyone not even Rory so don’t be the victim here!” again a bit loudly
“You did get knocked up!, tell me are you two married?” she was starting to annoy Lorelai
“No mother, we are not married!” she got up angrily.
“See, are you engaged?” she said raising an eyebrow. Luke saw how Lorelai was turning red from anger and thought that can’t be good for her nor the baby.
“No, we are not engaged… yet” Luke said trying to clarify, and pulling Lorelai down to sit by him.
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“It means we are not engaged yet but we will soon be” Luke explained, when Lorelai saw the confused look on her mothers face she began to explain more clearly.
“It’s just that we don’t want to rush into anything, I mean, yes he loves me and I love him but we don’t think that getting married now is the smartest thing to do right now” Aw crap! I can’t believe I just said that.
“The smartest thing?...” I walked right into that. Thought Lorelai. “The smartest thing would have been for you two not to get pregnant. And as to that ‘not rushing it’ don’t you think it’s a little late for that Lorelai?” Emily stated firmly and with anger in her voice anger and a little bit of disbelief.
“How can you be that way?” Lorelai said and Luke noticed that her voice was a little shaken.
“Well I cant just sit here and let my only daughter throw her life away again” Emily said, and Lorelai was hurt.
“I did not throw my life away!” she stood up again “Look I came here and tried to be nice and play fair by telling you about this before I told everyone, but that was clearly a mistake…” Emily interrupted her.
“You wanna talk about mistakes?” Emily stood up, and Luke joined her.
“Stop it right there!...” said Luke, he was very mad now. “Look I’m not gonna sit here and let you talk down Lorelai, you act all mad at her for what she did when she was a teenager without acknowledging that what she did brought you Rory, remember Rory that sweet little girl who always does everything you ask her to. I told Lorelai to come and tell you because for some strange reason I thought you might be glad but hey! Stupid of me you just like making her life miserable you take every happy moment she has and shred it to pieces, but that stops now I’m not gonna let you do that anymore! Come on Lorelai let’s go” he put an arm around her and walked towards the door.
“Mom, I thought you might like to be a part of this baby’s life, my bad, I was right when I took Rory away from you” Lorelai said that before closing the door and leaving a stunned Emily inside.
Outside the closed door Lorelai started to cry and Luke hugged her.
“I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry” Luke said as he rubbed her back. “you were right we should have never come here”
“Told you I’m always right” she said with a small smile on her face. He chuckled. “Mall please” she ordered.
“What?” he let her go and they started walking towards the car.
“I wanna sheer myself up, so lets go to the mall” she explained as Luke helped her into the truck.
“I’m not gonna go to the mall, do you know that they overcha…” his rant was interrupted by a kiss.
“You made me come here it’s your fault I’m sad, therefore you owe me” she smiled cuz’ she knew he was gonna cave with that.
“Ok we’ll go. I’m really sorry by the way” he turned to face her.
“I know you are…” they started to drive away. “Umm, Luke?”
“Yeah?” his eyes on the road.
“That was really great” she caressed his forearm.
“What was? The mall thing? Well I kinda had to, cuz this was all my fault” eyes still on the road.
“No I mean, well yeah that two but… the way umm… you… uh…defended me… and… umm… our baby”
“Hey I had to”
“No you didn’t, I mean this was my mom you went all ballistic on” she smiled so did he.
“Yes I did, she was insulting and putting down the only three people that mean everything to me. I was not gonna sit there and let that happen, I’ve done that long enough”
“Done what?”
“Sit there and do nothing” he smiled. God he is so sweet, he is my night in shinning armor. “I hope you know that she’s wrong” he said with a serious tone.
“About what?” she had a quizzed face.
“About you throwing your life away, before and… well… now.” he looked at her for a split second.
“I know, don’t worry” she smiled. So did he.
They were now at the mall.
“No! and that’s final” Luke said with an annoying tone.
“C’mon pretty please?” she flashed her eyelashes at him.
“No way!”
“C’mon Luke it’s a baseball cap, you like baseball caps” she said pointing at the blue one on his head.
“Yes I do like baseball caps…” he stated “That’s not a baseball cap.” Pointing to the thing in her hand.
“What?! Why isn’t it a baseball cap?” she mimicked him.
“It’s pink!!” he noticed her indifference look “I’m not wearing a pink cap-wannabe”
“Why not? And its not a wannabe it’s a cap, its goes on your head and it has the floppy thingy” she pointed to every part of the ‘cap’ as she described it.
“I’m not gonna wear a pink cap…” he looked at her as she gasped for air “nor am I gonna wear a pink shirt…” and then it hit him “Hey where’s my shirt?” he said with narrow eyes.
“What do you mean” playing naïve.
“The blue shirt, my blue shirt, the one you wore to your parents, the one you know that I love” he said looking straight into her baby blue eyes.
“You me mean the blue shirt I wore, the one you love, the one I accidentally left lying on my parents couch” she said with an I’m-sorry look.
“So that means you lost my favorite shirt and now you want me to wear a pink cap-wannabe” he said as he took the cap out of her hand.
“Pretty much YEAH” she smiled at him.
“You’ve got quite a nerve” he stared at her.
“I know I do, and I know you love that about me” she said grabbing the neck of his t-shirt and pulled him down for a kiss.
“Hmm, you got me there” he said with his eyes closed as she pulled away. The kept looking and shopping.
What Luke and Lorelai didn’t see when they left her parents house was that Richard had seen their car pull out of the drive way.
“Emily, was that Luke’s truck that just left” he said as he read the paper while entering the living room. She didn’t replay. “Emily?...” he saw Luke’s blue shirt lying on the couch. “Emily!” he shouted as he looked for her all over the house. He finally found her in the least place possible, the kitchen. “Emily? Why am I holding Luke’s shirt, why did his truck was exiting the drive way just as I came in and why are you in the kitchen?”
“You want a drink?” she said gesturing to her drink.
“No Emily, answer me” he ordered.
“Ok then, you are holding his shirt because Lorelai was wearing it, the car left the drive way because the left and I can be in my kitchen whenever I want to” she stated.
“What?” he sounded confused. “Why was Lorelai wearing Luke’s shirt?” its had just settled in.
“Because she was hiding it!” she got the second wind that Luke had taken away from her. “She was hiding the fact the she was pregnant…” the look on Richard face was priceless “and she tried to make it all better by telling us right after Rory, I mean the nerve she had to try and make it all better by ‘doing it my way’ that’s quite a nerve on that woman” she was yelling and babbling something that was not odd for Richard to hear from her.
“So let me get this straight, you are mad she decided to tell you before a lot of other people knew?” he looked at her with narrow eyes.
“No, I’m mad because she got knocked up again she is not married again and worst of all the father of the baby is him.!”
“And by him you mean the man that is completely in love with your daughter and granddaughter?” he questioned her.
“He is not right for them!” she barked back at him.
“No! he is perfect for them, and that’s exactly what you are gonna say when you call them tonight!” he ordered.
“Excuse me! I will not do such a thing”
“Fine then! I will call and apologize, and I will be part of that baby’s life, I’m not gonna sit here and miss out again just like with Rory!!!” he said and left the kitchen still clutching on Luke’s shirt. Emily just stood there looking at the door were her husband had just stormed of.
Back at the mall.
“I’m hungryyyy” she wined while pulling on Luke’s t-shirt. The were standing in line to pay for the thousand and one pieces of clothing she had gotten for herself and the stuff she made him take for himself.
“You always are” he said rising an eyebrow.
“Yeah, but now its different” she said rising one eyebrow.
“Yeah and how’s that?” he said looking her in the eye with his narrow eyes.
“Cuz’ I’m eating for two now” she said rubbing her stomach.
“Yeah. Well… I’m actually hungry two” he said regretting it not even a second later.
“Ajá!! Here you were giving me a hard time about eating and you are hungry, you got quite a never mister” she said with a gasp and mimicking him.
“Alright I’m sorry” he said hoping she would drop it.
“No way! You’re note getting of this so easily” she said poking him in his chest.
“C’mon Lorelai” he pleaded.
“Nop, you’ll be listening to this for a long while mister” she poked her tongue out.
“Fine, let’s go eat then” he gave up.
“Yay!”
They walked to the food court and it was filled with every kind of restaurant.
“Wow it smell’s delicious!” she said grabbing her stomach.
“It actually does. So what do you want?”
“Everything!” she smiled at him “And you mister salad”
“Actually I don’t want anything healthy today” she opened her eyes and mouth in shock.
“You’re kidding right?”
“No, I’m actually serious” he smiled.
“Oh My God!!” she started making a scene.
“Please drop it” he begged
“Ok I’ll drop it…” she pouted “So, where do we go then?”
“How bout’ we each go our own way and meet here in like 10 minutes?” he asked hoping she’d say yes and that way he wont have her hovering around him.
“Sounds like a plan” she smiled and they both went their own way.
After a few minutes Lorelai was sitting at a table and Luke hadn’t gotten there “My God, what’s taking so long! I can’t wait no more” she mumbled to herself and began eating her pizza. Right when she dived in for the first bite Luke saw her.
“Man!! You can wait for a few minutes!!” he said teasing.
“Well…you…umm… you took forever and… umm… me and the baby were very hungry and… Oh my God! Luke! Is that a big Mac!!!!” she just took notice on what he was holding on top of the tray.
“Yeah…” he said shyly “I don’t know why but I just saw it and felt like eating it…” he saw her look “even though I know how bad it is for me…” he sat down and she never took her eyes of him. “ Are you gonna eat that, cuz its starting to look good” he said looking at the pizza in her hands.
“What?! You felt like eating a hamburger and now you want my pizza?!?!” she was really shocked but that didn’t prevent her from taking a huge bite out of her pizza.
“Yeah” he whispered and looked down.
“Why?” she said that laughing a little.
“I don’t know…” he let a loud sight “Well…I…umm…was…umm…don’t laugh…” she put on a fake serious face “Ok then…umm. I was kinda craving it” he narrowed his eyes expecting her to burst out in laughter but she didn’t.
“Aww, that’s so sweet” she said rubbing his hand.
“You’re not laughing” he said shocked.
“Umm well no, I think its rather sweet of you”
“You do?” he was surprised now.
“Yeah” she smiled at him and they ate comfortably, talking and laughing about them and their soon to be baby.
Unbelievably but by the time they got back it was night, the had shopped a little more but this time they had gone into baby gap and they were thrown away be all the tini tiny baby stuff and couldn’t help but buy some baby clothes. They got home and get straight to bed, to sleep.
“Stupid pant’s!” she yelled and woke Luke up.
“Wha…?” he mumbled while turning on his back and sitting up. “What are you babbling about at 6am…” he thought “A damn it’s 6am why am I asleep and why are you up?”
“I’m not babbling! This baby is growing by the second and I’m not gonna fit into any of my cloths in one more month!...” she turned to him and he saw how her pants didn’t close any more “and I let you sleep cuz’ you looked tired and I’m up cuz’ I got hungry” she said as she walked over to the bed and sat.
“The fact that your cloths don’t fit is because the baby grows and that is a good thing” he said as he put her hair behind her ear.
“Hmm your nice…” she gave him a quick kiss “But we are still hungry” so she got up and pulled him up to.
They got ready ate breakfast and when he was about to leave for the diner she took the keys to his truck.
“Hey give that back!” he threatened.
“No!” she said that simply, and put the keys on her back.
“I’m not gonna stay here, I have a diner to run and I haven’t seen in a little more than a moth” he tried to get the keys from her several times but failed. “Lorelai!”
“I wanna go to Sookies” she pouted.
“So, she doesn’t live that far away…” he remembered something “Wait, what would you wear?” he said looking at her. She was wearing a low rise sweatpants and one of Luke’s shirts. Yes they had bought clothes the day before but she hadn’t washed them yet.
“This…” she said pointing to her outfit. “And I will not walk all the way to Sookies”
“Why not she doesn’t live that far away. And if you’re gonna lose my shirt don’t loose it this time”
“Do you have any idea how many people are gonna see us…” she said grabbing her stomach “Walking down the street, heck! I’m not even gonna get past the front yard if I try to go walking”
“Ok fine I’ll go walking and when I get back ill unload your jeep” he said walking close to her grabbing her by the waist and kissing her. “Mmm by babe…” he whispered to her, lowered him self and said “Goodbye baby” he said kissing her stomach.
“You are so cute when you wanna be” she said playing with his cap.
“Am not cute and bye” he stood up kissed her again and he was of.
She just thought for a while with her hands on her belly he is the perfect man and he is MY perfect man. He’s gonna be a perfect father. She left her day dream and went to brush her hair and teeth. After that she went outside and was lucky enough not to be seen by Babbet. When she got to Sookies she went around the back yard and knocked, Sookie opened.
“Lorelai!...” she hugged her “Wow long time did you have fun…” she pulled her in and into the living room “What are you wearing? Why did you come thru the back door?” she rambled on.
“Sookie stop!” she caught hr breath “Yes I did have fun, I’m wearing that because my other clothes don’t fit and I came thru the back so no one could see me” she caught her breath again damn its getting hard to breath and this is just starting. ”Please don’t be mad”
“Why? I mean why don’t they fit and… why would I be mad at you?”
“Sookie…” by strong she’ll understand “I’m pregnant” she said looking at her friend in her eyes and all Sookie could do was laugh. “I mean it Sok.”
“Yeah right…” still laughing “And since when have you known?” she was just playing along with her friend, at least that’s what she thought.
“A little more than a month” Lorelai said with a straight face.
“And you expect me to believe you didn’t say anything?”
“Sookie I mean it!” she was frustrated.
“Yeah right” she got up “You want some coffee?”
“Sookie! I can’t have any” her friend was starting to get worried.
“And why is that?”
“Damn it Sookie…” she stood up “Because I’m pregnant!” she unbuttoned the last few buttons and showed her friend.
“Oh my God!” Finally thought Lorelai “Does Luke know?! Oh My God is Luke the father?”
“Of course he knows and of course he is!! God Sookie!” she sat back down leaning her back on the couch with her hand stroking her tummy.
“Why didn’t you say anything?” sookie asked as she sat next to her and put one hand on Lorelai’s stomach to see if it was real.
Lorelai explained her reasons the doctors appointment Rory’s reaction to the news her parents reaction, how Luke stepped up and defended her. And the whole Luke eating a Big Mac.
“I need your help” Lorelai told her.
“Yeah?”
“I need you to tell miss Patty.”
“Tell her what? About you?” she looked and sounded shocked.
“Yes, I’ll go home and you can call her and tell her, that way by the time we go to the town meeting everyone will now and they questions and reactions wont be so bad” she said hopefully.
“Ok sure, you go, relax, and by tonight everyone will know” she said as they walked out the door and to Luke’s truck.
Lorelai left and when she got home she went upstairs to sleep. Miss Patty was at Luke’s when her phone rang. Luke was serving and overheard part of her conversation as she fallowed his every move.
“Yeah… oh my… do that’s why? ... oh my… and its his? … oh my … thanks for letting me know… yes I’ll tell… still can’t believe it…ok… bye bye.” She said and Luke looked at her looking at him.
“What?” he barked at her.
“Luke you naughty naughty boy” she teased.
“Aww gees” he blushed “How do you know?”
“Lorelai told Sookie to tell me so I would tell everybody before the town meeting tonight” she explained getting up.
“Lorelai did what?...” he saw her gasp for air “What are you doing?” he asked panicked.
“Hey everybody…” O no, she wouldn’t, would she? He thought. “guess why Lorelai and Luke did…” ok there’s my answer “They are over three months pregnant!” CARP! The cats out. There was a big gasp of air in the whole diner. And the questions began to rise, just as Luke walked, actually ran, outside and to his new home.
The phone had rang constantly and they had to unplug it, people had stop coming to their house when Luke threatened a sever pounding if they didn’t stop.
Later that afternoon when they were getting ready to leave, she had washed some new clothes and was dressing in maternity clothes. There was a knock on the door.
“I thought I told them to stop, I mean will be in the town meeting in 20 minutes and explain everything” he mumbled to her while she was going to answer the door.
“Aw shut up you big whus!” she opened the door and gasped “Dad!” Luke poked his head from the couch to see the door. What’s he doing here, and why is he holding my shirt on his hand?
“Hello Lorelai” he simply said. Luke stood up and walked towards the door, he put his left arm around her waist. “Lucas” he greeted.
“Mister Gilmore” he said politely.
“Come in dad” she said and moved to the side so he could pass.
“I believe this is yours” he handed Luke the shirt.
“Aw thanks dad, I don’t think he could live without that” she teased as they walked towards the living room.
“Excuse me?” he said confused, while he sat down on the couch. Luke sat on the big chair and Lorelai sat on Luke’s lap facing her dad.
“Please ignore her” Luke pleaded.
“All right then… Lorelai, I’m here to apologize, I know what your mother did…” when she heard that she tensed up and Luke felt it. Aw please just relax, this isn’t good. He thought “I know it’s not my right to apologize for her”
“Dad” she said with a warning voice and Luke gave her hand a squeeze.
“And I don’t intend to, what she did was wrong and well lets just say stupid…” Oh my God, he agrees with me. She thought. “But I don’t think like her and well that’s a good thing, Lorelai I don’t wanna miss out again, like with Rory, that’s why I’m here, to ask to be part of this baby’s life.” A tear appeared on her eyes. She stood up and walked towards her father.
“And you will…” she pulled him up and hugged him. “You don’t know how much this means to me.” Tears began to fall.
“Now Lorelai don’t cry” he said rubbing her back.
“They are happy tears dad, I swear.” They stayed hugging for a while.
“Well I guess I should go” he said his goodbyes to both of them and a sincere congratulations. He left.
“That was a good thing, unexpected but good.” Said Luke as he hugged her from behind.
“You just say that cuz’ you got your shirt back” she mocked him. “Let’s go get grilled by questions.” And they headed to the town meeting.
They went to the town meeting. Got grilled by questions like they expected a complete when, how, where which actually made Luke more uncomfortable than he ever thought. Lorelai answered all of the questions and after 30 minutes of being nagged at they left and warned all of the town’s people to just let them be alone and enjoy this new facet of their life’s, and unbelievable enough but they had agreed to be civil. They just hope they’d keep their promise.
“Hey hurry up, I don’t wanna be late just like last time!” he yelled while watching the morning news.
“I’m going as fast as I can! In case you forgot I’m growing by the minute” she yelled back.
“I didn’t forget and you’re not growing by the minute!” he said and she came down stairs.
“Are you kidding? Have you not seen me?” she said motioning to her really grown belly. It was actually bigger than any four and a half month pregnant woman.
“Yes I have and you look beautiful” he said getting up and walking to her.
“You just say that cuz you made this” she pointed to her stomach.
“Look the doctor will tell us if its bad for you to have gained this much weight” he said while hugging her.
“So you admit I have gained weight!” she hit him on the arm.
“No! … I its just t-that…” he got nervous.
“I’m just kidding…” she laughed “Boy you’re really easy” she said laughing and going to the kitchen to make a snack for the ride to Hartford.
“You’re really mean, and what do you think you’re doing?” he said as he followed her to the kitchen.
“I’m gonna make a snack for the ride to the doctors office” she said in a you’re-supposed-to-know tone.
“Fine whatever just hurry”
suddenly the entrance door flew open.
“Mom!” Rory was home for the weekend.
“Oh my God did you hear that? The baby can talk!” she said in a happy voice.
“Doubt it…” he said while rising an eyebrow “I think it was you daughter Rory remember her?” ha said teasing her.
“Rory daughter of mine, is that you?” she said in a mocking voice.
“Yes mother its me!” she said as she walked into the kitchen “Wow mom, you are pregnant” she said taken aback by her mothers grown stomach.
“Thanks for that Rory” Luke said sarcastically.
“Sorry” she answered with an I’m-sorry look.
“Jà told ya’!” she said pointing a finger to Luke, who turned to Rory and all she could do was give him and apologizing look.
“Ok Rory, glad you’re here being so helpful but we’re really gonna be late…” Luke started to pull Lorelai by the arm to the door.
“Oh, that’s why I came.” She said following them.
“What?” Lorelai let go from Luke’s grip and turned to face Rory “How did you know?” she said while Luke started pushing her towards the car.
“You told me you had an appointment today”
“When did I tell you?” Luke helped her get into the passenger side of her jeep.
“A couple of weeks ago” Rory said as Luke got in and turned the car on.
“Oh ok, must’ve slept my mind”
During the ride there Luke didn’t say a word, instead he just blocked out whatever Lorelai and Rory were babbling about. After a while the were there and sure enough they were late. Luke apologized for being late again, the doctor made Lorelai go change and for Luke and Rory to wait for her on the room with the sonogram.
“Umm hey Luke?” Rory said.
“Yeah?” he raised both eyebrows.
“Do you think mom’s ok?” that took Luke of guard.
“Well yeah. Why?” he was a little worried.
“Cuz’ I need to tell her something and I don’t know how she’ll take it” she said never looking at Luke at the eye.
“Are you ok?” he was worried now.
“Yeah I’m fine, don’t worry it’s not bad…” she thought for a while “It’s just that I kinda… met someone. And I don’t know whether to tell her or not”
“You should tell her, I mean I don’t see why you don’t want to” he explained.
“He goes to Yale…” she saw his indifferent look “And he is not a very movie fanatic guy”
“A now I see why you were concerned. But I still think you should tell her, she’ll be ok with the movie thing.” He said, and just then Lorelai walked thru the door wearing the robe. Luke helped her on to the bed and they waited for the doctor.
“So what were you guys talking about?” Lorelai said while sitting on the bed.
“Umm its just that…” Luke started but was cut of by Rory.
“The baby, we were talking about you and the baby” Rory said while she gave Luke a look. Lorelai turned over to Luke.
“Yeah the baby” why wont she tell her mother about the boy she likes? The doctor came in followed closely by a younger looking man or boy for that matter. “Doctor!” Luke was relieved.
“Hi, this is a med student…” she pointed to the boy behind her “He is here to learn and if its ok with you guys he will do the sonogram…” she noticed the worried look on both of them (Hadn’t noticed Rory yet) “I’ll be here the whole time, he’ll just do it and I will watch” she explained.
“Yes we don’t mind” Lorelai said rubbing her stomach. We don’t? thought Luke.
“Good, ok lay back” she said and suddenly noticed Rory.
“Oh, that’s my daughter, Rory say hi to the nice doctor” they said their hellos and continued with the appointment. The med student starting asking Lorelai questions he was at right from Lorelai, Rory was back close to her head and Luke was holding her left hand. The doctor was back behind the student.
“Ok everything looks good here, you can go now” he said.
“Wait, what about the sonogram?” asked Luke a little annoyed. I knew it was a bad idea for him to do this thought Luke.
“Oh yeah forgot bout that” he said as he went for the machine “Ok…well… the gel will be a little…”
“Cold. We know” said Luke very annoyed now.
“Luke” Lorelai whispered as she gave his hand a little squeeze. He gave her a look. The student continued with the sonogram, after a while the doctor said.
“Maybe they would like to hear the baby’s heart” pointing to the speakers.
“Oh yeah” the student said. Lorelai gave Luke’s hand a squeeze. The student turned on the speakers. “Wow that sound odd” he said.
“What you’ve never hear a heart beat?” Luke asked gruffly.
“No, of course I have, its just that I’ve never heard it like this” he explained, or at least he thought he did.
“What?!” Lorelai pop her head up, Luke and Rory got worried and the doctor kicked the student out of the room.
“Lorelai relax please” said the doctor as she started to look for the heart beat again. The heart beat came on again and Luke felt Lorelai’s hand clutch his. “Ok, there’s nothing to worry about here.” Said the doctor with a small chuckle.
How can she be laughing Luke thought angrily.
“What do you mean?” asked Rory
“That dumb med student was right in some way,…” she saw Lorelai’s worried face “It does sound different than it should sound, but there’s an explanation for that” she said trying to calm then down.
“And that is?” said Luke
“It’s because there’s two heart’s” the doctor said trying to make it obvious to them. But by the look on their faces she had fail at that. “There’s two hearts because they’re twins” the doctor said and gave time for it to settle in.
“Twi…twi…twins?” Luke said while his hand loosen the grip it had on Lorelai’s hand. That explains the weight gain Lorelai thought.
“¿As in two kids at the same time?” Lorelai said
“Yes” was all the doctor said.
“You’re the man” Lorelai said poking Luke.
“A gees!” was all he said
“Mom!” Rory yelled “To much information” she made a ‘yuck’ face. Lorelai just laughed twins, I’m having twins with the most wonderful man ever. The doctor whipped Lorelai’s stomach and told them they could go. They left and in the car.
“We need a new car, a family car” said Lorelai facing Luke with her right hand on her ‘twins’ and the left one on Luke’s thigh.
“That’s true” said Rory.
“Besides I shouldn’t be jumping in and out of the car all the time” she said trying to convince him.
“Fine, I didn’t even say no the first time I was just thinking what kind of car.” He was defending himself if no one will stand up for me I will, hope there’s at least one boy in there. He thought.
“Yay! Car shopping!” Lorelai was ecstatic. Luke just let out a big humongous sigh.
“Hey mom?” Lorelai turned to face her she is not gonna be the only one calling me that soon. “I’m hungryyy” Rory stretched the word knowing it would make Lorelai hungry also.
“Luuuuke the four of us are hungyyyyy” Lorelai pouted while rubbing her tummy. She saw his confused face. “The twins, Rory and me” boy this is gonna be fun. Thought Lorelai.
“Where do you guys wanna eat?” he said rubbing her tummy with one hand while driving with the other.
“I don’t know” said Lorelai putting her hand on top of his man he is sooo sweet.
“Ok then Rory you decide” Luke told him.
“No way, she is the pregnant one, she should decide” she winded.
“This is gonna take for ever right?” Luke asked and they nodded “Ok then if you don’t decide we’ll go to Olive Garden” he teased.
“No!!!” they both said.
Rory had spent the weekend with them but she never told her mom bout’ the boy she was seeing, Luke tried to ask her why but she just changed the subject. Lorelai told Sookie bout the babies and she told Jackson who told Andrew who told Kirk who told Patty and well you can figure out what happened then. Everybody knew and they wouldn’t leave Luke alone at the diner.
“Luuuke!” Lorelai winded.
“No! Lorelai, and I’m not changing my mind” he stated. They were walking towards Luke’s. He had his hand on her back.
“Why not?” she pouted like a five year old girl.
“Cuz’ I don’t wanna know” they were now at the gazebo.
“But if we know we can buy specific baby stuff, not only yellow, white and green” she explained.
“No! and that’s final” he said with a serious tone.
“Butch!” a voice yelled from behind them. Wow someone has a death wish thought Lorelai as they both turned to face the soon to be corpse. At first Luke was mad but as soon as he turned his face went from anger to shock in no time. “You haven’t change a bit, you’re still the same grumpy guy, but at least give her a break she’s pregnant” the person said while walking towards them.
“Kassandra wh…wha…what are you doing here?” Luke asked when she was close enough. Kassandra? Who the hell is she? And why can SHE call him that without risking loosing her head. She thought as she wrapped one arm around Luke and the other one rested on top of the ‘twins’.
“I’m fine thanks for asking” she mocked and thought is that his baby she is carrying.
“I…I’m sorry. It’s just that I… didn’t expect to see you” he was still shocked but a little more relaxed.
“I was just kidding...” she saw the expression on their faces “Relax butch” she kept her eye on Lorelai while she said ‘butch’
“Don’t call me that…” he threatened “ not even Lorelai can call me that…” he saw Kassandra’s expression “Um… Lorelai…” facing Lorelai “This is Kassandra…” he pointed to her, and now looking at her “Kassandra this is Lorelai my…girlfriend… my…pregnant girlfriend” he finally said and they shook hands.
“Nice to meet you” they both said.
“Well Luke it was nice seeing you again…” she turned to Lorelai “It was nice meeting you…” she turned around and before she walked away she added “And to answer you previous question I just came to remember and have a look see” then she left.
Lorelai turned to face Luke.
“Old girlfriend?” she asked.
“Nah we never dated, we just slept…” aw crap! I cant believe I just said that.
“Excuse you, what did you just say?” she took a step back so he had to let her go.
“I said that we never dated” he said trying to make her forget that he had almost said something else.
“And?” she asked rising an eyebrow.
“And… that we slept together once…in high school” he added quickly.
“Meaning you cheated on Rachel” she didn’t ask she said.
“No!... that thing with her was a drunken mistake” he took a step closer and she took a step further.
“So? Is that what you say about all of the women you’ve slept with!?” she went and sat on a bench in the gazebo.
“Lorelai don’t” was all he could say before he started walking towards her.
“Don’t what!?” she barked. Mad if she had mood swing before she was pregnant now they were even worse especially with twins.
“Let me explain, that actually was a drunken mistake” he sat down next to her but she slid to get away from him.
“Fine! Talk” she was looking at the floor.
“Ok, we were freshmen in high school and we were friends, well actually I was friends with Rachel who was friends with her…” when Lorelai heard that her head popped up in a shocked expression she was gonna say something but he had stopped her. “Let me finish. There was this big party that the sophomores were throwing so I decided to go and I asked Rachel but she was sick so I told Kassandra and she said yes. Well… when we were at the party she went and grabbed drinks for us, she brought back two beers and told me ‘it’s now or never butch’ so we started drinking and drinking and drinking we had like five beers each when she asked me to take her home…” he took a breath and turned to Lorelai who was looking and him with a lost look on her face “I was really tipsy so we decided to walk we made a couple of turns well a lot of turns and ended up back at eh party; we laughed about it and decided it was destiny so we wondered the house… we kinda found the guy’s parents bedroom and we went in, it wasn’t intended but we started kissing and well one thing let to another and you know what came next” he stopped and looked down ashamed.
“She was Rachel’s friend” she said in a disgust tone.
“Me and Rachel were just friends at the time. So after we finished we promised that we would never ever gonna mention it to anyone. Ok so a couple of weeks went by and my teammate’s girlfriend turned out pregnant and then it hit me that we hadn’t use any protection and I panicked, my friend was a jackass and dumped her she was going thru a hard time so…” she interrupted.
“You slept with her to” she said not asked.
“No! I helped her out”
“Aw that’s so nice of you” she moved closer and put a hand on his thigh
“Thanks so a few months passed and nothing, I was so relieved that she wasn’t pregnant. Things started happening with Rachel and good things so I thought it would be better to wait a few years, so when we did finally do it she said it was her first time and I told her it was mine also. I wasn’t gonna brake my promise to Kassandra she was her best friend.
“Ok…that makes sense” she rubbed her thumb through the inside of his leg. “What happened to Kassandra?”
“Her parents told her they were moving so she left. I was kinda sad, but it made me think. I mean if she would’ve ended up pregnant I would’ve had to move away with her and we would’ve gotten married, it would’ve just mess my whole life up” Aw crap! I can’t believe I just said that.
“Messed up you whole life?!” she let go of him and stood up. “Messed up your whole life?!!”
“Yeah! I mean it’s not the best idea to become a father at 16…” Aw man I did it again!!.
“You ass whole!” she started to walk away.
“No! Lorelai wait!! I didn’t mean it like that!” he ran after her.
“So you think Rory messed up my life?!” she abruptly stop in front of the diner and turn to face him. “Do you think they would mess up your life?” she said putting a hand on her tummy.
“No! Lorelai this got way out of proportion…” he took a step closer but she took a step back. “Rory didn’t mess up your life, but kids aren’t like her…” he took a step closer and she didn’t move “I love you and the babies…” he put both hands an her tummy “I’m ready for this I cant wait, I wanna be a father, I wanna be the best father ever” he said with a sincere look.
“I’m glad to hear that” she put her hands on top of his.
Caesar opened the door to the diner.
“Yo! Boss there’s a female on the phone for you!” he shouted and Lorelai took Luke’s hands off her.
“Female?” she asked with a you’ve-got-to-be-kidding look.
“Caesar if it’s from the delivery tell her I’ll call her later!” he shouted back looking at Lorelai in the eye.
“No boss it’s a different female, she said she needs you that its urgent” he informed him. Lorelai started walking away towards her house not before looking at Luke with a disappointment look and shaking her head.
“Lorelai wait!...” he started after her
“Yo! Boss the lady at the phone!” at that Lorelai just walked faster.
“Tell her to leave a message!” he barked at him.
“Can’t she said it’s an emergency!”
“Fine!” he walked back to the diner. “What!” he answers the phone.
“Luke I need help” was all he heard.
“Rory what’s wrong” his voice softened and he worried.
“I need bail, I don’t know who else to call I don’t wanna freak out mom” she explained sort of.
“Bail? Rory where are you?” he was confused Rory in jail must be a big mistake. Rory told him where to go get her and she also told him not to tell her mother she didn’t wanna freak her out, with that Luke told Caesar he was in charge and left. Meanwhile Lorelai got home stomped upstairs sat on the edge of the bed put her elbows on her knees and hands on her face and just cried, after a long while of crying she had fallen asleep.
She shifted in bed while she woke up, she had her back to the clock so she turned to see what time it was, the clock showed a little after three aw crap! She thought and got out of bed and went to the bathroom, soon she was out of the house and on her way to the inn. She walked thru the back door to try and get in without being noticed by Michel.
“There you are” Sookie scared her friend.
“Damn Sookie! Don’t do that” she said with one hand on her heart.
“Sorry…” she saw Lorelai’s face “Are you ok?”
“Yeah just over slept” she said quietly.
“What’s wrong?” Sookie asked concerned.
“Hey, you were here when Luke was in high school right?...” she nodded with a confused look “Ok… so umm… what do you think of Kassandra?” Lorelai noticed Sookies shock face when she mention the name.
“Kassandra? Rachel’s friend Kassandra?” she said as she sat down on a stool to process it all.
“Yes her, what do you think of her?” Lorelai sat next to her.
“How do you know her?”
“She’s here” Lorelai simply said.
“Wh…what? Here? As in Stars Hollow?” she was really confused now.
“Yes… umm… her and Luke…umm… did they” she couldn’t get it out.
“Oh honey don’t worry…” she assured her “They were only friends, yes they were close but that was it” Sookie got up and padded her shoulder. If only she knew thought Lorelai. Sookie turned to look at her “what’s wrong now?”
“We had a fight” she said while looking at the floor, well trying to cuz’ her growing tummy wouldn’t let her.
“You and Kassandra?” she went to sit again.
“No, Luke and I” her eyes got watery.
“Over her?”
“Yes” she was sobbing now.
“Why?” she was rubbing Lorelai’s arm. Lorelai told what had happened that morning except for the sleeping with her part she thought that if he had made a promise and not tell anyone for so long she should do the same. “Ok so you are telling me that he got a phone call and you just left…” Lorelai nodded “You do know it could have been his sister right?”
“Aw crap! You’re right it could’ve been Liz” she had a shame look. “It must’ve been her, I mean no one else would call him, well her”
“Lorelai don’t be silly, she was just a friend from high school. And besides remember how Luke was before you guys started dating he had friends but his friendship is really weird.
“Yeah I guess you’re right”
“I know I am, now go call him and apologize” they both got up.
“I’ll go do that now” she went for the desk and Sookie went for the stove.
Lorelai went to the desk lucky for her Michel was helping guest with the horses. She called the diner.
“Luke’s” a voice said.
“Caesar put Luke on please”
“Can’t sorry” was all he said.
“I know he probably told you not to bother him but I really need him”
“I wish it was just that, you know I never follow his orders when you ask otherwise, but he left a couple hours ago. He is not here” he explained.
“What?! What do you mean he is not there? When did he leave…no wait better where did he go to?”
“Don’t know after the phone call he told me I was in charge and just left” she just closed her eyes in pain trying to hold back the tears and grasp the phone tighter. “Lorelai are you still there?”
“Umm yeah… hey can you do me a favor?” her mind was going thru so many scenarios she felt sick.
“Sure anything”
“Have him call me as soon as he gets back please”
“Sure, are you ok?”
“Yeah I’m fine, just please do that”
“Sure no problem” with that he hung up. She walked to the kitchen. She walked and angry walk.
Mean while Luke got to the station.
“Hi I’m here to post bail” he told the cop at the front desk who was reading a paper.
“Sure…” he turned to the computer “Name?”
“Mine or hers?” he was confused.
“Hers” he said annoyed
“Lorelai Leigh Gilmore” he stated. The cop searched.
“Sorry no Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, just a Lorelai Leigh Danes” the cop state and Luke had a shocked look on his face.
“I’ll bail her out”
“And you are?”
“The father” he stated that has a nice ring to it.
“If you are the father then why didn’t you know her name?”
“It’s just that sometimes she uses my last name and some times her mom’s last name” Man! Being with her make me lie more easily. He thought.
“Ok, I’ll need an id” Luke gave him his drivers license and the money to bail her out.
“Rory” Luke said and she lifted her head when she heard a familiar voice.
“Thank you for coming” she said as she ran towards him and hugged.
“Rory…I I cant breath” she let him go.
“Sorry” she didn’t look him at the eye.
“It’s ok” he started walking but she didn’t.
“No, I mean for everything, I am sorry” he turned
“I know. Now c’mon lets go” she walked up to him.
“can we go to the park across the street?” she saw his confused look “I wanna tell someone what happened and since you bailed me out, thanks again, I’ll tell you”
“Sure let’s go, and please stop thanking me”
“Consider it done” They walked across the street and sat on a bench. They just watched their surroundings.
“Umm Rory?” he tuned to face her.
“It was because of him” she just blurted out and the looked at her hands on her knees.
“What?” he was truly confused.
“Cole…” she saw his face “The guy I told you about and asked you not to tell my mom”
“Oh the guy that doesn’t like movies?”
“Yeah him… but that was not the real reason” she glanced up at him for a split second.
“I kinda figured that” he said with a nod.
“It was because… umm… he’s umm… kinda the ‘bad boy’ type” she noticed Luke’s concerned look “Not bad bad but like a prankster” he relaxed a little bit.
“And this was a 'prank’?”
“No not really. We kinda T.P a high school’s gym” Rory T.P a high school gym?! He thought.
“What?!” was all he could get out.
“It’s not how it sounds, well it actually is… but there’s a good reason behind it…”
“Behind T.Ping a high school gym?!” he interrupted her.
“Let me explain…” he nodded “Well I’ve been seeing Cole for a while and at first his pranks were funny and well harmless but after a couple of weeks it changed and I didn’t like it anymore so last night I went to tell him that, to tell him it was over but he said that the only way he would really let me alone for good was if I helped him with some thing big at first I said yes but when he told me that he was gonna T.P his little brothers rival high school’s gym I said no but he convinced me. He said he was never gonna bother me anymore so I said yes. When we were done with the gym we headed out and that’s when the cops got us. He told them it was his fault all of it and that I was just there cuz’ he was my ride. And the cops took me in and let me go with bail but the school is pressing charges on him.”
“He just took it all on him?” he asked doubting and this Cole guy.
“Yes he said he had done enough harm to me already”
“What harm?!” he got worried.
“Nothing bad I swear” she explained quickly.
“Ok he better not” They were quiet for a while. “Why me?” he asked her and she looked confused. “Why did you call me?”
“Cuz’ I knew you would come in a heart beat, I mean my mom would also but I didn’t wanna worry her” she explained. “Thanks for not telling her. And…for…umm…not freaking out for the name…I umm didn’t wanna use Gilmore…cuz’ umm”
“It’s ok” he said with a smirk. “You hungry? What am I doing, of course you are you guys are always hungry” she laughed “Let’s go eat”
“Sure lets go… wait what about the diner?”
“I left Caesar in charge” he explained as he got up.
“Ok then let’s go” the walked back to the car.
Mean while back at the inn Lorelai had stormed in into the kitchen and had asked Sookie to tell her where Kassandra used to live, actually she didn’t ask she actually barked, the whole carrying Luke’s twins had a dark side to it. Well Sookie at first said no cuz’ it was a very very bad idea, but Lorelai had convince her by telling her a bout her little phone conversations with Caesar.
“He could have just gone out to look for you, ever thought about that?” Sookie was trying to calm her friend down.
“If he was then why didn’t he come here, he knows I work here, he invested in this place remember?” she was being sarcastic now, and was also pacing around the kitchen.
“Ok then,…maybe he’s back at your place… umm…thinking things thru” she gave Lorelai a disbelief look while she told her.
“Nice try but I just came from the house and he wasn’t there, and no he didn’t just get there cuz Caesar told me he left since the phone call ended” she sat on a stool.
“Well…umm…then…I’m out” she said in a defeat voice and sat on the stool next to Lorelai.
“Good to know, now can you tell me where she used to live?”
“But why do you want to know that?”
“Because that way I can go there and burst the door open and bam! Catch them in the act”
“What if there is no act?, what if she’s not even there?” she stood up again.
“Then I’ll check everywhere, remember I have dibs on all the hotels and inn’s here and near stars hollow”
“But…” she started but was cut of.
“Just tell me” she got up.
“Better yet I’ll go with you…” she looked at Lorelai’s confused look “To make sure you don’t do nothing stupid”
“Fine then, but don’t you stop me when I’m tearing both their heads off” they got out of the inn and started to walk towards Kassandra’s old house.
Back with Luke and Rory.
“I can’t believed you ordered that!” said Rory mocking Luke.
“Stop it” he said seriously while turning red. He was a multitasker.
“I mean first you agree to coming to chillis and then you order a hamburger…”
“Drop it” he warns her.
“A hamburger a big BBQ hamburger and fries!” she mocks.
“That’s is, no more coffee for you young missy” he states.
“What?! That’s not fair, I’ll be a good girl now and leave your food alone if you give me back the coffee.” She begged.
“And…”
“And? There’s an and?!” she was shocked.
“Yep, you don’t mention this to your mom.”
“Wait mention what exactly?” she was looking for a loop hole.
“The whole hamburger thing.”
“Wait that’s not fair cuz’ she told me bout you mall craving thing… oops” she got a oops look on her face.
“She told you about that?” Luke was a little blushed.
“Yes, see now its only fair to tell her about this” she said pointing to the food they had just put in front of them.
“You are not telling her anything cuz’ she doesn’t even know that I was with you all day” he said with a jà tone and face.
“Yeah…well…umm…she’ll…I give up, I wont tell her” she looked down and faked a defeated pout.
“Thank you, now, can we eat?” she responded by taking a big bite out of her spicy chicken wings.
Back in Star’s Hollow Lorelai and Sookie were standing in front of a big white house with a rock path leading to the door and flowers on the side of the path.
“This is it huh?” asked Lorelai looking at the house.
“Yup” was all Sookie could say.
“Lets go then” Lorelai started walking up to the door.
“Yeah but first lets get this clear. I’m gonna do all of the talking” she said as she ran to catch up to Lorelai before she rang the doorbell.
“What?...” Sookie gave her a look. “Ok fine” she gave in. An old lady opened the door.
“Yes” she asked looking between the both girls.
“Hi! I’m Sookie and this is Lorelai…” Sookie started but was cut of by Lorelai.
“Where are they?!” she scared the lady.
“Excuse me?” asked the lady while Sookie elbowed Lorelai. “Who are you talking about darling?” Ah great make me feel bad about myself by calling me that thought Lorelai.
“Lorelai calm down” whispered Sookie.
“Kassandra…” Lorelai said while ignoring her friend. “Where is she?”
“Oh she moved away a long time ago” she explained with a sweet voice.
“Yes we know that! But we know she is here right now!” she was starting to get desperate.
“If by here you mean starts hollow then yes she is, but she is not home right now and she didn’t say when she was gonna come back so, not to be rude but leave!” and with that she shot the door. Outside stood a socked Sookie and an even more shocked Lorelai.
“Ok see he’s not with her” Sookie tried to make Lorelai think her way.
“The fact the she is not here right now does not mean they are not together” she turned and started walking away from the house.
“Why do you insist on believing that?” Lorelai shrugged “You know he is incapable of doing something like that, he is a by the rules kinda guy and he loves you”
“I know, it’s just that… I can’t help it” they got on Sookies car and went back to the inn to work.
“Look just go and work to keep your head of it and then tonight talk to him, talk don’t judge” said Sookie while driving.
“Ok fine” she gave in.
Back at chilis.
“I can’t believe you guys eat all of that everyday” said Luke while pointing to the now empty plate in front of him.
“Yeah well, for us to be able to do that you have to practice everyday and be strict with yourself, which means no vegetables or fruit” she explained.
“Aja” he said laughing. They laughed together for a while.
“Desert?” asked Rory.
“For me?” she nodded “Heck no” Rory smiled “But if its for you then… no, cuz I don’t want you to go into a sugar coma”
“Don’t worry, I wont, I’ve been practicing for this my whole life” she mocked.
“Fine” he gave in an they ordered something after the had paid and were inside Luke’s truck. “Hey, do you have class right now?”
“Hmm no, why?”
“Do you feel like a movie?” Rory was shocked.
“Serious?” he nodded. “Sure let’s go”
“No chick flicks” he warned.
“Same here” they left for the movie theater and after much discussion watched hitch.
“Go home” said Sookie while she as on her way out.
“I can’t” she said sitting down on her chair behind the counter, and putting her hands on her stomach.
“Well you have to, you cant hide here, he’s probably there waiting for you, and we’ll be pissed if you’re working late”
“If he was home, he would’ve called already, and I’m the one who should be pissed not him!” she wave her hands in all directions to stated her point.
“Lorelai relax, this is not good for you. And go home rest and when he gets there you two can talk it out. Come…” she pulled Lorelai up “I’ll take you home”
“Fine” she gave in and went home with sookie.
Movie theater.
“That was actually funny” said Luke as they left the theater and walked towards the car.
“Hey! Don’t act all Luke like, cuz I saw you laughing out loud” she mocked him.
“Fine it was funny” he said as he opened the door for Rory.
“Ha! I never thought I’d hear you say that”
“Yeah well it was a first and last time, so treasure it”
“Fine I will…”she was cut of.
“And don’t tell your mother I ever said that. I’ll just deny it” she laughed.
“Thanks” she simply said after a few moments of silence.
“Sure… for what”
“Everything…just umm… everything” she smiled at him
“You’re welcome. … So I better take you to your dorm cuz’ it’s getting pretty late” she looked at her watch.
“Wow, first time I noticed the time, yeah take me to the dorm cuz’ I’ll take you forever to get back home” they were on the parking lot of the dorm.
“Stay out of trouble” warned Luke when Rory had gotten of the truck.
“I will, o hey! I’ll call mom and tell her you’re on the way, so she wont worry” Luke’s expression changed.
“Don’t!, don’t worry she’ll be ok, she was gonna be with Sookie today, so its ok, but thanks anyway.” He babbled.
“Okay, whatever you want, thanks again I had a lot of fun, see you next week” she doubted of Luke but decided to believe him.
“Yeah I had fun to see you next week Rory. Bye” and with that he was of to Starts hollow.
Lorelai had gotten home. First she checked the messages nothing, not one call then she checked the hose nothing, no person in sight she got mad and went up stairs. She was pissed at the world right now, but was also very tired and decided to sleep it off a little bit.
It was a little after 10:30 when she heard noises. Luke was coming up the drive way. He got in the house and started to walk up stairs when Lorelai appeared at the top of the steps still wearing the same clothes she wore when she walked of angry.
“Hey!” said Luke with his normal voice.
“Were the hell have you been!” Lorelai put her hands on her hips.
“What?” Luke walked up and tried to get into their room but she got in the way. “let me thru”
“Where. Were. You?” she said trying to control the anger in her voice. “Don’t say ‘diner’ cuz’ I’ve been calling Caesar every hour and you haven’t been there and now he hates me. I think he unplugged the phone for a while to avoid me…”
“What are you babbling about?” he had her eye to eye because she was one step up.
“Where were you all day?”
“I cant tell you” he whispered then turned and walked downstairs again.
“Excuse you?!” she walked down following him. He stopped at the bottom of the steps.
“I said I cant tell you” he repeated in and annoyed tone.
“You were with her weren’t you?”
“What? With who?” he tuned to face her.
“You’re little friend from high school”
“You’re kidding right?”
“No!. are you gonna tell me it’s a coincidence that she wasn’t home all day either?”
“How am I supposed to know if she was home or not?!” he barked out, he couldn’t believe that Lorelai thought he could do that to her.
“Because you left the diner to go be with her that’s how” she stated as if she was telling the truth.
“I left to go help Rory!” he said and then regretted saying because Rory had asked him not to mention it to her.
“What?! If she needed help she would’ve called me!” she was yelling and now mad because she thought he was using her daughter to hide what he had been doing all day.
“She couldn’t, she didn’t wanna worry you” he said in a soothing voice.
“Stop using my kid to cover your lies!!” she was more angry now.
“I’m not using her” he said with a calm voice. Relax man, no need to yell.
“O yeah then tell me what did she need help with” she dared him to tell her.
“I…I can’t” he looked down.
“I knew it!” and with that she turned and headed up stairs to their room.
“What? You knew what?!” he yelled up before running up to meet her up in their room.
“Don’t lie Luke, and don’t get my kid involved in your lies!” she said while throwing Luke’s pillow and a comforter out the door to Luke.
“I’m not lying!, what’s this” he said picking up the stuff Lorelai had just thrown out the door.
“I’m not gonna sleep in the same bed with you, so go to the couch” she said before she closed the door with a slam. Luke couldn’t believe this how could this had gotten so messed up?. He walked down the stairs and threw the stuff on the coffee table and he sat on the couch just to think. Up stairs Lorelai was on her bed with her back on the headrest I cant believe he lied like that, and he tried to get Rory involved in this. Right then her phone started to vibrate on the night stand.
“Hello?” she said close to a whisper.
“Hi mom, I’m sorry its late” she just said.
“Nah it’s ok, you know you can call whenever you want”
“O no, that I know, I mean I’m sorry he got home so late”
“What?” Lorelai sat up straight when she heard Rory say that.
“Luke. I know it’s late but I needed help and I called him so you wouldn’t worry and then we talked and well I got hungry so I made him take to eat after that well he asked if I wanted to see a movie, he was acting weird, anyway I said yes so by the time we left the movies it was already late and he told me he was gonna drive me to the dorm then he was gonna go back home, I don’t know if he got there yet, I think he should I mean he left a while a go, if he’s not there yet he is gonna get there any minute now…” she babbled.
“Luke was with you today?” she asked in disbelief.
“Yes. I called him this morning and asked for his help. He said yes and came. I told him not to tell you cuz I didn’t wanna worry you, I’m fine though, I’ll tell you the whole story next week. I told him I would call you and tell you everything but he said no, but hey you know me I never do anything he says just like you do. Anyway he came an well I already told you all we did, well sort of. Mom?” Lorelai had gotten up from bed and stood on top of the stairs just looking at Luke. Who was sitting on the couch, eyes closed and head back. He was telling the truth. Lorelai thought.
“Hmm?”
“Are you ok?” Rory was concerned.
“Yeah, he…umm… he just drove in… hon call you tomorrow ok?”
“Yeah sure… bye mom”
“Bye babe” and with that she closed the phone and walked down stairs. Luke heard a noise and opened his eyes.
“I’m sorry Luke” she sat on the coffee table in front of him. “I’m so so sorry”
“For what?” he sat up straight.
“For assuming the worse even when I know you wouldn’t do something like that”
“Hmm” he nodded.
“And for not believing you” she put her hand on his knee. He just looked down on her hand when she did so. “I just… I” she got watery eyes.
“Hey…” he rubbed her arms to sooth her “it’s not that bad, I would also be jealous and assume the worse if one day Christopher came out of nowhere and we had a fight and you disappeared the whole day. But if you would’ve said that nothing happened that it was just a coincidence that he also disappeared the whole day I would’ve believed you”
“I know, I’m sorry it’s…it’s hard to believe that Rory would call you to help her, I mean she always called me I guess I always thought she would. Don’t get me wrong its good that she has you to rely on, but I just miss it”
“Hey! Believe me if she could’ve called you, she would’ve but she needed me for this” she nodded.
“You cant tell me huh?” he shook his head. “Fine I’ll just have to wait till next week to hear it from her” Luke made a weird face.
“She called you didn’t she?” she nodded “I figured she couldn’t just not do it. So I guess she already told you about the burger and fries huh?” he said getting up.
“What?” she said while she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the stairs.
“Crap! Me and my big mouth” he said while mildly shaking his head.
“Spill spill!” she was al happy now jumping up and down a little bit. “Ow” she whispered while putting her free hand and her tummy.
“Are you ok?” he got worried. She just took his hand and placed it on the spot hers had just been, and she started grinning “Wha..” he started but was cut of by a little ‘kick’ on the hand he had on her stomach. He was speechless.
“Luke?” she said after a couple of seconds. He took his eyes away from her stomach to look her in the eye.
“Is that umm…”
“The baby” she finished his sentence. And then she kiss him ever so softly.
“I wonder which one” he said as he stoop down to put his ear on her stomach. “Hey in there, it’s daddy, I’m sorry if mommy was a little up set today but your big sister needed help so I had to go help her and I forgot to tell you mommy…” he felt the same little ‘kick’ hit his ear.
“Hey play nice” said Lorelai talking to her stomach while combing Luke’s hair. “He hasn’t forget about you”
“Both of you” cleared Luke.
“Hey so they kicked to get our attention, to take notice that they are still here huh?”
“I think so” still in the same position. Suddenly Lorelai kicked him. “Hey! What was that for?” he looked up.
“Trying to get your attention” she gave him a small smile.
“You don’t need to kick me for that” he stood up and kissed her.
The next morning Lorelai woke up first and stayed in bed watching TV morning shows are so lame, why cant they have late night shows on the morning? Hmm that’s a stupid question good thing no one heard me. Lorelai was sitting with her back to the headrest and she was stroking Luke’s hair, he was laying on his stomach.
“Why are you watching that?” said Luke with a groggy voice and not moving.
“Well good morning to you to” she said looking down at him.
“Hmm…” he propped himself by his elbows. “Morning…” he smiled and gave her a small and quick kiss. “Why am I still asleep and your up?” he turned to his side and started rubbing small circles on her stomach.
“Well I’m up cuz’ someone decided it was time to eat, and you’re sleeping cuz’ I figured you were very tired and besides since you didn’t go to the diner last night to close up Caesar must’ve thought you weren’t gonna go today, so he’ll open up. That means I have you all to myself all day, well until my dad wets here” she said and then turned the TV.
“What?” he sat up.
“Huh?” she played dumb.
“What did you just say?”
“About wanting to eat?” she said with a smile.
“No”
“About Caesar?”
“No!” he was getting annoyed.
“Then about my dad?”
“Struck gold!”
“Really! Where?!”
“Lorelai” he warned.
“Fine. He’s gonna come to have lunch with us, cuz’ we haven’t seen him in a while in a long while so I told him to come for lunch”
“So you asked him?” he was in disbelief.
“Yeah well… I figured we…umm… had to tell him soon that… we are gonna have… uh… twins” she confessed.
“He doesn’t know!”
“No, its just that its not the thing you mention on a daily phone call you know” they were walking down to the kitchen.
“Yeah I know…but… do I still have to eat with him?” he whined.
“Well yes, cuz you made this…” she said grabbing her stomach “and besides it would be rude of me to ask you to leave right after you cooked our food. Don’t you think?”
“I have to cook?!” she put on her puppy eyes and rubbed her stomach “Fine…” he let out with a sight. He walked up to her and rubbed her arms “What do you want to eat?”
“Don’t know yet” she reached up and grabbed his face in her hands.
“We need to buy all of the groceries” he whispered. And she pulled him down to a kiss.
“Let’s go to Dose’s, and ill tell you there”
“Why don’t you just tell me know?”
“Cuz’ I have to see the food that way your babies will let me know what the want to eat” she explained.
“Fine lets go” they kissed and left. They parked the car just in front of Dose’s and Luke helped her out.
“We really need to go car-shopping soon” she said as she got out. He just nodded.
“So what do you want to eat?” he asked as they entered the market.
“Don’t know yet, I have to walk around a little bit and see what they want” she said rubbing her stomach. So they walked around a little bit. “Ajà!” she yelled.
“Geez Lorelai” Luke said a little startled.
“I know what we want” she was all happy.
“Ok, what?”
“Chop Soy and Rice!” she said with a victorious grind.
“Really?” cant believe she wants something with vegetables in it. He thought.
“Yep, I tell you they have your paled” she said while walking to get some ice cream.
“I really doubt it, cuz’ you just got your hands on some chocolate ice cream, something I would never eat” he stated while gathering all the ingredients.
“You say that now but just remember you used to say the same thing about hamburgers and… well you just know how that ended” she mocked him.
“Not fair”
“I‘m never fair”
“Oh that I know” he mocked as they paid for the stuff. “We’re not buying that” he said when he saw that she put a bag of coffee and the register.
“Ok, then buy me a popsicle?” she asked like a little girl. He let out a loud sigh before nodding his head. “See that’s why I love you” then she put a hand on her stomach “And apparently they love you too” he turned and placed his hand next to hers.
“Are they kicking?” she nodded with a shy smile.
“Excuse me, but will you care to put attention and pay so you will go and other costumers could also do so?” said an annoyed Taylor.
“Oh yeah” Lorelai laughed and Luke paid Taylor and they both headed to the car. Lorelai suddenly stopped.
“Luke wait”
“Yeah?”
“Can we walk home?”
“What?”
“Can we walk home? Its just that I don’t really feel in the mood of jumping in and out of the car again. Pleeease?” she pouted.
“Are you nuts?”
“Yes”
“Ok then. As long as you now that you’re nuts. I’ll pick up the car when I come and check on the diner.”
“The car cant stay here until tomorrow Luke”
“Funny, why would it stay here till them?” they started walking towards their house.
“Cuz’ you said you were picking it up when you went to the diner. And I know you’re not planning on coming today.”
“Well that just shows how little you know” he said getting a little annoyed.
“Excuse you? You are not leaving me alone with my dad today”
“I don’t plan to, that’s why I’m gonna come tonight”
“You’re gonna leave us alone tonight” she said rubbing her tummy.
“Just for a little while”
“Mean!” she pouted.
“Lorelai” he said with a warning voice.
“Fine. But only for a little while, ok?” she gave him her killer smile and he fell for it.
“Sure” and with that he kissed her forehead.
Meanwhile at the Gilmore Residence.
“Emily I’m going now!” yelled Richard up the stairs.
“And where exactly are you going?” she asked walking down the stairs.
“I already told you out to lunch” he stated a little annoyed.
“Yes that I remember, what I don’t remember is where” she started following him. He hesitated for a while and finally said.
“Stars Hollow” his head falling.
“Oh” her eyes also fell.
“She said she had something important to tell” he explained.
“Don’t bother…” she said annoyed and a little angry. “I know you go over there often” she had uncovered him.
“You do?”
“Yes” she swallowed her pride. “So how is she?”
“Glowing, just… glowing. I mean she is so happy with all of this…” he stopped when he noticed the look on her face. It was sad really “I should go…don’t want to be late” he didn’t wait for a response he just left her there.
Back in stars hollow, Luke was in the kitchen cooking and Lorelai was outside trapped with Babette always send Luke for the mail, that was you rule you idiot! She cursed herself while make a nice face for her annoying neighbor.
“Argh!...” she let out while entering the house after several minutes of mind-numbing chit chat. “You’ll get the mail from now on” she said while sitting down on a kitchen chair to look at the mail.
“That bad huh” he said while cooking.
“Yup” she gut up and raped her hands around his waist.
“Soon enough you wont be able to do that any more” he said while turning.
“So I better do I now that I can huh?” she turned up to kiss him.
“Yup” he said once she let him go. “I’d love to continue this…” kiss “but I have to cook” kiss
“Sure, I’m getting hungry”
“Shocker” he teased.
“Just cook” she left to watch some TV. After a little while there was a knock at the door. “I’ll get it” she said turning of the TV and heading towards the door. “Hi dad!” she gave him a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek.
“Hello Lorelai” he said while entering the house. “Something smells good” they entered the kitchen.
“That would be chop soy Sir” said Luke while walking towards them.
“Well it smells great”
“Thank you”
After they had eaten and shared pleasantries Lorelai leaded her father towards the living room to wait for Luke to finish cleaning up. When he finally joined them on the living room Lorelai started.
“Well dad I guess you’re wondering why we had lunch today” she was sitting with Luke on the couch and her father has sitting on the big chair.
“To be honest, yes I am”
“Good cuz’ there’s a good reason”
“I’m starting to worry here Lorelai”
“No don’t! it’s a good thing” she said quickly.
“Ok then what is it”
“Dad I’m pregnant…”
“I know that Lorelai” he cut her of.
“Yes I know you know that, but do you also know that we’re having twins” she took Luke’s hand on the we part.
“Twins?” Richard turned towards Luke. He just nodded.
“Wow, umm…well, congratulations” he got up and walk over to them. After an hour or so of baby and future talk they said their goodbye’s and he was gone.
“I think that went well” said Luke turning over to look at Lorelai.
“Very well” she leaned in and kissed him.
Once Richard got home Emily was waiting for him.
“Well that took long enough” she said getting up from the couch in the living room.
“Emily, you startled me” he said walking up to his wife.
“So… how did it go?” even though she would never admit it she was sorry to not be a part of Lorelai’s life.
“Interesting actually” he fixed them a drink and went to sit next to her.
“Really? How come?”
“They…umm… shared some interesting facts about her pregnancy” that’s all he was gonna say unless she asked nicely or at least directly.
“Like what? Is she ok? Is the baby ok?” she was getting worried Oh my God I hope they’re ok, I mean I’m not in the best terms with her right now but I don’t want bad thing to happened to her. She thought
“Yes Emily she and the babies are perfectly fine” he said in a strange tone of voice before getting up and walking up stairs.
Good they’re ok, she and the babies are ok, …wait! Babies? Did he say babies as in more than one or did he just misspoke?
“Richard!” she yelled and ran up the stairs to join him.
“Yes Emily?” he asked as if it was perfectly normal what he just said.
“Did you just say babies as in more than one?” she saw the grin in his face.
“Actually I did”
“Oh my God! Twins?” she asked with a shocked look.
“Exactly. Twins can you believe it?”
Well I’ll be damned “No I cant believe it” now I’m gonna miss out not only in one of my grandkids life but in two. Richard noticed the sad look in her face.
“Talk to her” was all he said.
“But she hates me”
“Just talk to her, or do you want to miss out again? “ she shuck her head. “Ok the apologize to her”
“But…” she started but was cut of.
“Just do it, you know you have to, you know you messed up, and know if you don’t suck up your pride you’ll never get to spend time with your grandkids” she let out a loud sigh “Twins” was all he said and then he was of to the bathroom.
A couple of weeks later Rory was home for the weekend. It was lunch time and Lorelai and Rory decided to go to Luke’s for lunch, like always. Lunch rush was at full power and there was no empty seat in sight.
“Wow” Said Rory with an amazed face.
“I know” Lorelai said dryly and walked to the counter.
“Hey” said Luke when he came out of the kitchen with plates on both his hands and walk to deliver them.
“Ask a table to leave” Lorelai told him when he came back.
“What?” he asked the turned to add up recites.
“Rory and us…” she rubbed her growing stomach “are hungry. And there’re no tables and we aren’t gonna eat standing up”
“And I’m not gonna ask costumers to leave” Lorelai made a shock face, Rory was listening behind her laughing silently at them and their crazy discussion.
“You’re gonna make the four of us just stand here and eat are you?” she faked a shock tone.
“Lorelai…” he said with a warning voice.
“Uuu I know! I’m gonna fake going into labor and you get everybody out and close the shields then you go to the kitchen and feed your hungry family…”
“Lorelai…”
“What you don’t like the idea?” she said with a fake sad baby voice.
“If I didn’t go with that idea last week what makes you think I’m gonna go with it now” he narrow his eyes towards her.
“The fact that we’re hungry and there’s nowhere to sit” she said in a ‘duh’ tone.
“Just like last week” he said teasing.
“So what now?”
“Take her upstairs” he turned to Rory.
“But…” Lorelai started but was cut of.
“Now” Rory grabbed her mothers arm and started walking towards the stairs. “I’ll be up with burgers and fries in a minute” he told them.
“In one minute? Really it only takes one minute now?” Lorelai let out a small smile.
“Ok then several minutes…” he said in an annoyed voice the girls giggled “Now go” and he Laughed. They walked up to his apartment, he only had a few thing, because Lorelai decided to place an ad where it said that they were selling his old stuff. He only had the couch, the table, a couple of chairs and that was it; he was gonna convert it back into an office. They went to the couch to relax a little bit and talk.
“So how do you feel about going back to school?” Lorelai asked.
“I don’t know, I really never actually left, cuz’ of the paper and all”
“Yes I know, but now you’re gonna have classes”
“Oh right that, well I’m ok I guess”
“Do you think we should do something?”
“What?”
“Well I was thinking that since we have two more weeks till’ you have to go back to school, then we should take a trip or something” Lorelai was getting all giddy.
“You’re pregnant”
“Really and here I just thought I swallowed a basketball, thanks for the heads up kid” Lorelai joked.
“I meant that we cant take a road trip like we used to because…”
“I’m pregnant, I know. But it doesn’t have to be a road trip.”
“It doesn’t?”
“Nop, we can have it all planned out”
“Wow Luke is really getting to you, huh?”
“Well its better than driving aimlessly for days, and speaking of Luke I have an idea” she had a devilish smirk.
“What?”
“We should all go to Luke’s beach house, I mean I’ve wanting to take you there, and it’s the last time we’re gonna be able to”
“Why exactly?”
“Because you start school, no free time, and then summers over, cold weather, and then next summer we’ll have twins, so this is the perfect time” just then Luke walked in.
“Perfect time for what?” he sat 2 burgers on the table and 2 lemonades.
“A trip, is that a burger?” Lorelai said.
“Yes I figured you’d want one if Rory’s having one so I brought you one. And what did you say about a trip?”
“Luke, where’s my coffee?” wondered Rory.
“Umm funny story?”
“Amuse me please” Rory dared him.
“Ok see… since your mom doesn’t drink it…I figured she’d annoy you to death cuz’ you can and she cant…so I decided to save you the trouble and just not give you nay today”
“Good enough” said Rory and Luke sighted a relieve sight. While all of this was going on Lorelai starting eating.
“Hey take a breather” joked Luke.
“Oh hey” Lorelai said with a mouth full.
“Swallow first please” said Luke.
“Hmm…ok done. So Luke what do you feel, bout’ a weekend in the beach house before Rory goes back to school?”
“Sure. I think it’s a good idea”
“Yay!” screeched Lorelai.
“Ok, so I have to go to the diner now, be back up later” he gave her a quick kiss and rubbed her stomach.
“I think we need to go shopping” said Lorelai rather happy.
“For what?”
“Supplies”
“And that would be?”
“Food, and brand new clothes!”
“Thought so” after that they walked downstairs without any plates, but talking bout their plans for the trip and their afternoon plans, shopping of course.
“Hey I was just going upstairs” Luke told them.
“Yeah well we’re kinda in a hurry” explained Lorelai.
“We’re gonna go shopping” added Rory.
“Oh really?”
“Yes babe we’re gonna get some supplies for our trip”
“Supplies meaning clothes?” asked Luke knowing the answer.
“How did you know?” asked Lorelai.
“I know you, more than you think”
“Good to know. So we’re going, anything you need?” he leaned down and whispered into her ear, ‘I need a new bathing suit remember?’ Lorelai giggled while she remembered she just nodded and kissed him goodbye.
“Take it easy” Lorelai nodded “I mean it, Rory take are of them” and they were of. Luke kept taking care of the diner and the girls went to the Hartford mall.
“Good thing we decided to take your car” Said Lorelai getting out of Rory’s passenger seat.
“Yeah, you guys really need to go car shopping soon” they were walking into the mall.
“Tell me about it” she said rubbing her growing stomach. “Ok so where to?”
“Don’t know, did Luke needed anything?” Rory saw Lorelai’s face lit up “What?”
“He needs a new bathing suit” that’s all she said but with a small grin growing on her face.
“Do I want to know why your grinning?”
“Not really” Lorelai teased and pulled Rory to a store. They were looking at bathing suits for a while. “I have a great idea!” and she walked to a store manager. Rory couldn’t hear what Lorelai told the lady but she left to the back and came back with a bag, Lorelai peeped in and gave her some money then headed back towards Rory.
“What did you do?” ask Rory noticing Lorelai’s big smile.
“I got Luke his suit”
“Mom, please tell me you got him a normal one”
“Define normal ?” with that Lorelai walked out of the store and headed for the food court.
“Mom! Wait you’re hungry again?” Rory caught up to her mom.
“Hey I’m eating for three here”
“Tell me about it, so do you mind if I go for a little while and wonder of”
“No, go wonder to your hearts contempt”
“Ok, be back in half an hour, ok?”
“Yes go” Lorelai headed from little shop to little shop just looking and waiting till the twins ‘tell’ her what they wanted, she stopped at the smell pizza, hot pepperoni, melting cheese and delicious sauce, made her mouth fill with water and her stomach grumble.
“Mmm” Lorelai said while eating her second ‘big’ piece of pizza.
“Wow, breathe mom” Rory said walking up to her.
“Hey let your mommy feed your siblings” and she kept eating. Rory went to grab a slice herself, she came back and ate in silence for a while. After they had eaten Lorelai convinced Rory to go to the baby gap with her. But Lorelai quickly regretted talking Rory to go into the ‘gap’ cuz’ as soon as they stepped in Lorelai heard a very familiar voice, yelling at a young sales girl. Lorelai turned to leave when the sales girl also turned to leave right after yelling ‘we don’t do name’s in baby’s clothes!’.
“Mom?” Rory asked when Lorelai turned to leave, Emily got a glimpse of Lorelai’s stomach before she left.
“Lorelai” yelled Emily as she walked up to Rory, Lorelai just walked faster.
“Mom?!” Rory started after her mother but Emily grabbed her arm to stopped her.
“Rory what’s wrong?”
“What are you doing here?” Rory asked turning her look from the door to Emily.
“Just thought I’d buy the twins something” she said in an innocent tone.
“The twins? How did you…?” Rory looked shocked.
“Know?...” Rory nodded “Well Richard told me, I didn’t know it was a big secret”
“It’s not” and Rory turned to leave.
“Rory wait!” Emily walked up to her.
“Why? I need to go find mom, I promised Luke I’d look after her” she left and started to look around for Lorelai and Emily kept following, they were now out of the gap.
“I want to talk to you,… wait you promised Luke what exactly?”
“You can talk all you want, it’s my option to listen or not” and she kept looking for Lorelai, getting more worried by the minute.
“What’s the matter with you?” Emily grabbed Rory’s arm.
“You’re kidding right?” Rory stopped to look at her.
“Well according to some people I never kid”
“Typical”
“I will not tolerate that type of behavior especially from you”
“Whatever”
“What is your problem”
“Well you and your attitude for one!” Rory exploded.
“Excuse me?”
“How dare you treat mom and Luke that way”
“What are you talking about” Emily didn’t know where this was coming from.
“The way you reacted to mom’s pregnancy…”
“Oh Rory whatever they told you I can swear half of it is false”
“Funny to know that cuz’ all they’re told me, was that Luke yelled”
“Well that is true” Emily had to give into that one cuz’ even she didn’t believe Luke would do that.
“I knew it”
“Knew what exactly?” Emily was again confused.
“You insulted mom!”
“What?!”
“The only reason Luke would yell at someone is to defend mom and sometimes me like when he got into a fight with Dean but that’s not important now what’s important is that he doesn’t yell if someone’s insulting him so either you insulted mom, me or worse of both of us” Rory started to walk away once she noticed that Emily wasn’t denying it. He fought Dean? He defends them and not himself? Emily was starting to see what a great guy he was she just hope it wasn’t to late to make amends.
While Rory confronted Emily, Lorelai wondered aimlessly around the mall, she got her cell out of her purse and sped dialed, waited a second and then…
“Luke’s” came an annoyed Luke.
“Luke?” she was almost crying.
“Lorelai what’s wrong?” he just heard sniffs “Lorelai are you ok? Where are you? Where’s Rory? What’s wrong? Please say something” still just sniffs.
“Emily” was all she could get out.
“What?” Luke said containing his anger.
“She… in the store… and I…the sales girl…”
“Lorelai, where are you?”
“The mall” she kept sniffing.
“Stay there, call my cell as soon as I hang up, I’ll go get you ok?”
“Mmm Hmm” they hung up and while Lorelai dialed Luke’s cell he told Caesar to take over. “Luke?”
“I’m here” he answered his phone while getting in his truck.
“Good”
Rory was looking everywhere for her mom, when she couldn’t find her she tried her cell but it was busy. ‘Damn it! ’ she kept looking. Lorelai’s feet were killing her, the past minutes Luke had managed to cheer her up a bit.
“Gah!” Lorelai said into the phone.
“What?” it wasn’t easy driving and having Lorelai in his ear.
“My feet are killing me” she whined.
“Go sit for a while, I wont take to long I promise” he saw the Hartford exit.
“Done and done” she said sitting down. “Damn heels” she mutter hopping he didn’t hear.
“You’re wearing heels?!”
“Umm I wanted to look pretty?” she pouted as if he could see her.
“Lorelai, don’t pout I cant see you” God he’s good she thought “And I told you no more heels”
“They’re not bad for them” she said rubbing her stomach.
“I know they’re not bad for them they’re bad for your back”
“Ok, ok lecture me when you get here and I have a way to shut you up”
“Not fair” he said pulling into a parking lot.
“I’m never fair” she said with a devilish smile.
“Where are you?”
“Wow, way to change the subject mister”
“Lorelai…” Luke’s patented warning voice.
“I’m in a bench”
“In a bench or on a bench?”
“Ha-ha. Where are you?”
“Parking lot”
“Oh, your fast why I’m in need”
“Yeah something like that. So where are you?”
“If I told you would you really know?”
“Probably?” they both doubted that.
“Tell you what. I’ll go to the food court, you know how to get there right?”
“Yep…”
“Don’t hang up!...” Lorelai said just in time before he did.
“Why?” she was getting up.
“Gah! Feet again, I think I’m gonna need a massage” she whined.
“Later, so why don’t you want me to hang up?”
“Cuz’ I’ll miss you, o wait!...” Luke heard some weird noises “There all better”
“What did you do?” he asked half laughing.
“Took the heels of, they were killing me. Ok I’m here and it smells o so good”
“Keep your pants on”
“Hey! If I had I wouldn’t be in this situation” she said rubbing her stomach.
“True. Hey…”
“Yeah?” she looked down to her rubbing hand.
“Turn around crazy lady” he was standing there right behind her with a smirk on his face. When she turned she couldn’t help but smile.
“Hey I have to go, there’s this ridiculously handsome guy looking at me” she kept smiling and rubbing.
“Really?” he walked closer to her
“Yes” and with that she hung up and threw her arms around his neck. “Thank you” she whispered into his ear. And before he could say anything her phone rang. The id read ‘Rory’ “Hello?” while she answered Luke whispered ‘no problem that why I’m here for’ and that made her giggle.
“Mom! Where are you?! Are you ok?! O my God! Where are you?! Are you giggling?! Why are you giggling?”” Luke could hear the screaming teenager. ‘Answer her’ he whispered again and this time it made her shiver. She just kissed him and closed her phone. Rory had a perplexed look and her. What the? Ok think Gilmore it sounded noisy there so she was… the whole damn mall is noisy. Where would mom go? Food court? Could give that a try again. And she wondered of to the food court, she wasn’t far from it took her like 3 minutes to get there. Once there she started looking but couldn’t see her, Luke and Lorelai were waiting on a table to see if her daughter knew her well enough to go there, the had seen her since she started to get close to the food court, but Rory hadn’t seen them, she was about to give up hope when her phone rang.
“Hello?” she didn’t even care to look at the id cuz’ she was to busy ‘looking for her mom’
“You do know you suck at this game?” Lorelai’s playful voice came on.
“What game?!”
“Turn to the ice cream side of the court” and she did “OK now look towards your right” she did and she saw her mom and Luke.
“Is that Luke?”
“Hmm, flannel check, backwards baseball cap check, grumpy face check, haven’t shaved in days check. Yes it all point to him being Luke”
“Mom!”
“What?! ok-ok yes its him”
“Is he mad?” Rory asked while walking towards them.
“Why would he be mad?”
“Cuz I lost you in the mall”
“Honey I’m a grown and well growing person, I don’t need a babysitter”
“I know but he said to look after you and I didn’t”
“Yes you did hon, now hurry up so we could go get some dinner” Lorelai turned to Luke with loving puppy eyes, he just nodded.
They were out in the parking lot, Rory had apologized to Luke a million times.
“Ok so how are we gonna do this?” asked Lorelai.
“We need to only take one car” said Luke
“Yes but he have two” Lorelai.
“I know that. Ok I know, Lorelai you go with Rory and I’ll just meet you guys there” he said.
“Where exactly?” asked Rory
“Sniffis?” Lorelai asked hopingly like a 2 year old. Luke just nodded. “Yay!”
“Where?”
“O but I wanna go with you” Lorelai whined to Luke and then turned to Rory as if asking for permission.
“Go with him, I’ll follow you guys”
“You sure” asked Luke. She just nodded “Ok then Lorelai wait here, I’ll go get the car” she was a bout to pout but Luke narrowed his eyes and she just agreed.
“So where are we going?”
“Remember I told you bout Luke’s Luke’s?”
“Hmm, yeah, where he took you your first date?”
“Yep. That’s where were going” Lorelai was excited
“Cool I finally get to meet Luke’s family. A bet they were thrilled when you guys told them bout the thins” Rory saw Lorelai’s expression fall “Mom?”
“Oh my God! We totally forgot!” she started panicking
“What?”
“They don’t know!”
“What?!” Rory was shocked. Just then Luke came.
“What’s wrong?” he asked Rory.
“O my mom will inform you, don’t worry” Luke just looked at her with a weird expression, help Lorelai into the truck and gave Rory some directions or pointers on how to get to the restaurant. Once they were in the car.
“Ok, what’s wrong?” he said starting up the car.
“We never told them! They don’t know!” she started to freak out now.
“Who are you…” and then it hit him, buddy I never told him. Damn it, I was but stuff kept getting in the way, damn it Luke! “It’s ok, they’ll understand”
“Really? They wont be mad?” he shook his head. “good, cuz’ I miss the food” he just chuckle. They got there in a matter of minutes and so did Rory. They walked up to the door and Lorelai took a deep breath.
“Relax” said Luke as they walked in.
“Lucas!” yelled Maisy once she noticed who was sitting on the booth in the corner. Lorelai gave Luke’s knee a hard squeeze. ‘relax’ he whispered. “Long time no see” Maisy said as he got up to give her a hug, “Lorelai hello you look good” the table was covering Lorelai’s stomach “And you must be Rory”
“Yes I am” said Rory.
“Umm Maisy…”Luke started “we need to tell you something”
“You’re getting married!? Buddy get out here!” she yelled out to the kitchen
“Umm actually not exactly that” said Lorelai while starting to move out of the booth having a little trouble with her pregnancy. Lorelai stood up and put on hand on her stomach Luke placed one hand on her back. Maisy’s jaw dropped.
“Oh my… buddy get out here!” she yelled to the kitchen then turned towards Lorelai and pulled her into a hug “Wow! Congratulations!”
“Need air” said Lorelai and Maisy let her go. “Ok, Luke don’t you wanna share something with them?” she was teasing. Luke just gave her a death glare.
“What?” asked Buddy when he walked behind Luke and Lorelai.
“Lorelai’s pregnant!” shrieked Maisy.
“With twins!” added Rory noticing that neither Lorelai nor Luke knew how to bring that up.
“What!” asked Maisy and Buddy at the same time. Lorelai just nodded. Buddy pulled Luke into a hug and padded his back. Maisy just gave Lorelai a quick hug before making her sit down.
“And you must be Rory” said Buddy while giving her his hand.
“Yes I am” she said with a polite smile.
“Umm sorry to interrupt but ‘we hungry ‘” Lorelai whined.
“Oh yeah, is there something your not eating right now Lorelai?” asked Buddy.
“Hmm no, well maybe pickle” Maisy nodded and both of them headed towards the kitchen.
“I didn’t order” said Rory.
“You don’t have to, the bring whatever they want, that’s part of the charm” Lorelai explained well at least tried to cuz’ Rory’s face had a big question mark on it.
“Ok” said Rory.
They ate and drove home, Rory said she was gonna go with Lane to catch up, and that she was gonna be sleeping at her place. Luke got all the bags out of Rory’s car and Lorelai just plotted herself on the couch with her legs up on the arm rest and her hands rubbing her stomach.
“Well you’re comfortable” Luke mocked.
“Shut up and sit” Lorelai said not moving, not even opening her eyes. Luke went to the couch slightly lifted her legs and sat under her legs.
“Scoot a little bit please” Luke told her.
“Why?” she whined
“O sorry I thought you wanted a massage” he faked getting up.
“No, no, I do, I do” and she scooted up a little bit, now her head was on the other arm rest and her feet were on Luke’s lap. “God you’re good” she moan.
“I know” he said still rubbing her feet.
“And modest two” she breathe heavily.
“I know” and he kissed her big toe.
“Mmm, what cha’ got in mind?” all he did was put her legs down. He placed his left knee between her legs, his right foot on the floor, left arm next to her head, right hand caressed her cheek and he leaned down to kiss her passionately. They were like that for a while. Luke’s right hand was now under her shirt and hers were taking of his flannel.
“Get up” Luke mumbled on her lips.
“It responds better with love not with orders” she mocked as he made his way down her neck. He pulled back to look her in the eye.
“I meant you, Lorelai, remember… the couch was never big enough” she just pulled him down for another long and passionate kiss.
“You’re right” she said quickly when she suddenly pushed him off her and hurried him to go upstairs but he just sat there. “Hello earth to flannel man” he just looked at her and smirked. “What?”
“Nothing” he just looked up at her and smirked.
“Aja” she walked and stood right in front of him he looked up, she raised one leg and placed it next to one of his, he raised one eyebrow and the she placed her other leg next to his other leg, so now she was sitting on his lap.
“What are you…” he started but was interrupted by her lips on his in a long, lingering, passionate and wet kiss and it was then when she felt it, he was growing. Then she pulled back and started to get up. When she turned she saw his ‘huh’ face.
“So are you still not coming?” she asked walking up stairs. He just got up and ran upstairs
