Being a wife and a mother, was the farthest thing from Lorelai Gilmore's mind. She always believed she was destined to be the 'Crazy Cat Lady', but things turned out differently. Lorelai became a mother, then a wife, then a mother, and then a mother-to-be, with twins. Things had already been hard. Luke was at work most of the time, so that left Lorelai to take care of the house, and their two children which were 8 and 4, and while doing all this, she was pregnant. Things couldn't get worse...or could they?
"Katie Emily Danes!" Lorelai yelled bending down to pick up a skate. "Come here now!"
Little Katie came running out of her room, curls bouncing around her face. She stopped in front of her mom.
"You know that I can't bend down with this fat belly, could you please pick up your toys?"
Katie looked at her mother. "Sure." She replied running around the living room picking up her toys.
Lorelai smiled and waddled out of the livingroom towards the kitchen. She took out the milk, then a glass, then poured herself a glass of milk. She sipped it down quickly, replaced the milk, and put the glass into the sink.
As she started back into the livingroom the phone rang loudly.
"I'll get it!" Katie yelled running to the phone and picking it up. "Danes' res..res..resdence." Katie paused. "Daddy!" Another pause. "Okay." pause. "Umm..." Katie looked around until her eyes saw what she was looking for. "I see it." pause. "Bring it. Okay daddy." the little girl smiled. "Love you too." Katie hung up the phone and looked up at Lorelai. "Daddy forgot his wallet."
"He did?" Lorelai asked looking over to where Katie was looking earlier. "I guess he did."
"He want's you to bring it to him."
"He does?" Lorelai said stepping over a teddy bear and picking up the wallet.
"Uh huh. Now pref..pref..preferbly."
"Okay." Lorelai sighed. "Could you stay here, and pick up all your toys?"
Katie looked around the room at all her toys. "Could I have ice cream, when I'm done?"
Lorelai shook her head yes. "As long as you clean up first." Lorelai leaned down and kissed Katie's head. "I'll be back in a little while." Lorelai grabbed her purse from the table.
"Okey Dokey." Katie replied grabbing the teddy bear. "Bye!"
"Bye baby." Lorelai stepped outside shutting the door behind her. She walked carefully down the steps and off towards the diner. She passed many of the townies, waving as she went along. Finally, she arrived. She walked up the steps, opened the door and walked inside listening to the bell ring above her head. "I got your wallet." Lorelai called to Luke.
"Hey honey." Luke smiled walking around the counter to kiss her. "You feel alright." Luke leaned in kissing her lips tenderly.
"Yes, me and my fat 5 month pregnant belly is feeling great." Lorelai smiled sarcastically. "I can't believe how fat I am for only being 5 months pregnant."
"You are having twins."
"I'm going to be humongous when I'm full term, like Dumbo."
"Lorelai stop." Luke said helping her onto a stool. "You are not fat, you're pregnant, and beautiful."
"Smart, adding the beautiful in there." Lorelai smiled.
"Where's Katie?" Luke asked taking out an order pad and scribbling food items on it.
"At home cleaning her mess up."
"What mess?" Luke asked looking up.
"She has her whole toy box thrown around the living room."
Luke just sighed. "It's your fault."
Lorelais' head popped up. "Excuse me, my fault?"
"She gets the messiness from you and Rory. God, when I was dating you, you could never find anything."
"That doesn't mean I'm messy."
"Not anymore. You have me." Luke replied turning around and handing the order to Caesar.
"Hey!" Lorelai said angrily. "Take that back."
"Not in the kidding stage, forgot." Luke mumbled.
"Luke."
"I take it back, you are not messy."
"Thank...you don't mean that!"
"I do too."
"Then prove it?"
"What?" Luke looked at her confused. "How can I prove it?"
"I don't know. This pregnancy is getting to me." Lorelai sighed letting her head fall onto the counter, all her curls spreading around her.
Luke smiled and gently ran his hand through her hair. "You know, you are the most beautiful woman."
Lorelai raised up smirking. "Aren't you a smooth talker?"
"Ah jeez." Luke turned around to sack the food up, which Caesar had cooked. "Here's some dinner." Luke tied the top and handed it over the counter to Lorelai. "Kaleb is getting out of school in an hour, I'll pick him up, and he can stay with me until I close up."
"You sure?" Lorelai asked looking up at Luke.
"Very, you and Katie enjoy the dinner, we'll be home after eight." Luke leaned over the counter and kissed Lorelai. "Bye Mrs. Danes."
"Bye."
Luke waited patiently outside the elementary for Kaleb to come out. School had been out for 15 minutes, and Luke was becoming worried. Finally he started inside, towards the classroom. He opened the door to see the teacher, Miss Grey.
"Oh hi Miss Grey."
"Please call me Rebecca." She smiled. Luke looked at her closely. She was late thirties, around Lorelais' age. Pretty, very pretty. Petite, blonde. "What can I do for you?"
"I'm looking for my son, Kaleb."
"Oh, you must be Mr. Danes." Rebecca smiled reaching out to shake his hand. "Nice to meet you."
"Yea, my wife usually picks him up."
"I see, I've never met her." Rebecca smiled. "Well, Kaleb was picked up early by a Rory Huntzberger. She was on his list of people who could pick him up."
"Oh, that's his sister."
"She was a lot older than him, in her twenties." Rebecca smiled again looking at Luke in his eyes. "You don't look old enough to be her father."
"I'm not. She's my wife's daughter."
"Your wife must be a lot older. Not to be rude."
"No, she's younger." Luke saw Miss Grey flinch. "She had her at 16."
"Oh. Well she picked him up around lunch."
"Well thank you." Luke said starting to leave.
"Wait." Miss Grey stopped him. "I better give you something." She turned around and walked towards her desk. Luke couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. Not as beautiful as Lorelai. He reminded himself. "Here's Kaleb's report card."
Luke took the envelope from her hand. "Thanks." and with that he left.
She watched him walk out then mumbled. "I'm going to have to meet your wife."
Luke got into his truck, dropping the report card on the seat next to him. He picked his cell phone up and dialed Lorelai.
"Hello?" Lorelai answered cheerfully.
"Lorelai..."
"Hey hon, Rory picked up Kaleb, she's here now."
"I know, I went inside the school looking for him, met his teacher, she told me."
"Sorry for not calling." Rory said coming over the phone. "I thought mom would be picking him up, so I picked him up early, took him to lunch, then dropped by the house about the time mom usually left to pick him up. Again I'm sorry."
"It's not a big deal Rory." Luke replied. "Just got me worried, until the teacher told me."
"Sorry."
"Stop apologizing." Luke paused. "Have you already eaten all that food?" Luke asked directing it to Lorelai who was on the other phone.
"Some of it." Lorelai lied.
"Some meaning all?"
"Kinda."
"I guess I can't take all of you out to eat." Luke sighed.
"No, I'm still hungry, I swear."
"Uh huh."
"No Luke really."
Luke smiled. He loved to hear her beg for food. "Okay, you guys get ready, I'll pick you up around 5:00. We'll drive to New Haven, pick up Logan and Lorie then all go eat dinner. That sound good to you two?"
"Yea!" Both agreed.
"Good." Luke smiled. "Go get ready." And he hung up.
At 4:45 Luke drove up in front of his house. He got out and walked up to the door, he tried it, but it was locked. He took out his keys, unlocked the door then went inside.
"Honey, I'm home!"
"Well hello Ricky Ricardo." Lorelai said coming into the entry looking amazing. She was wearing a baby blue maternity dress, which held her rounded stomach perfectly. The neck was cut low in a v-neck shape, the sleeves which were a light material graced her shoulders. Her dark brown hair was curled around her face. Her blue eyes accented the silky blue dress. He noticed she was wearing black flats.
"You look beautiful." Luke blurted out.
"Well thanks, wait until you see the rest of them." Lorelai smiled.
Just then in came Rory, Kaleb, and Katie.
"Daddy!" Katie yelled running to Luke. Luke grabbed her in his arms. He hugged her, kissed her, then held her away from him to look at her.
"You look pretty Princess." Luke said smoothing out the pink dress. "Is that a new dress?"
Katie nodded her head excitedly. "Rory got it." She stated simply smiling.
"Well that was nice of Rory." Luke smiled at his curly headed little girl. "Did you say thank you?"
Katie shook her head again. "Uh huh."
"Good." Luke replied setting Katie on the ground again. "Hi Rory." Luke said hugging Rory. "You look amazing."
And Luke was right. Rory did look amazing. She was wearing a deep purple top that went well with her knee-length black skirt. She had black high heels on, and her hair was curled around her ears.
"Thanks Luke." Rory smiled.
"So, are you guys ready to go?" Luke asked looking around.
"We're ready." Lorelai stated.
Rory headed out the door with Katie and Kaleb on each side of her jabbering. Lorelai started out, but Luke stopped her by grabbing her arm and pulling her around to him.
"Again, I say you look beautiful." Luke smiled holding her as close as her stomach would allow.
"Well thank you Ricky." Lorelai teased.
"Well if I'm Ricky, you must have to be Lucy."
"Oh no." She smiled. "I'm Ethel."
"Lorelai." He faked angry. "Don't start."
"I wouldn't dare." She smiled letting their lips touch. They stood there kissing until Lorelai felt a tug at her dress. Lorelai broke away and looked down.
"Mommy. Daddy." Katie smiled up at them. "Rory says to come on."
Lorelai broke totally away from her husband, bent down as best she could and picked up Katie. "Well then I guess we better be on our way."
A/N: Okay, the first chapter was almost 7 pages long. You guys wanted a sequel, so I gave it to you. More to come. I know technically Ricky never said "Honey I'm home.", but said "Lucy I'm home". Just take it as it is. Okay please read and review. And I hope all ya'll like it!
