(Scene takes place 1 year after the end of the show. The night before Lorelai & Luke's wedding.)
Lorelai sat impaitently tapping her fingers on the table, she looked at the phone, she was debating wether or not to call. She picked up the phone... then put it down... then picked it up. As she put it down a second time she jumped the phone was ringing. She answered it.
"Hello." She said.
"Mom, I'm on my way I'm sorry but traffic was terrible." Rory said.
"That's fine. Where are you, when will you be here?" Lorelai asked.
"Five minutes ten tops." Rory said.
"Alright, but hurry!" She said and hung up. Lorelai got up walking to the coffee pot she poured some coffee into a mug resembling a cow. There was a knock on the door. Lorelai put the cup on the counter and ran to the door, she opened the door fast and happy then got sad when she saw who it was "Oh, hi mom." Lorelai said and walked back to the kitchen.
"Lorelai! As if that is any way to treat your mother- or any guest for that fact! Saying oh, hi then walking off." Emily rambled as Lorelai sat drinking her coffee. Lorelai rolled her eyes at her mother.
"I'm sorry, I thought you might be Rory. Would you like some coffee, mom?" Lorelai asked as politely as she could. Emily sat down at the table and looked at her daughter and smiled. "What?" Lorelai said looking at her mother with great confusion.
"You are getting married tomorrow." Emily said with tears welling up in her eyes. Lorelai smiled. "Listen, Lorelai, I know you and I don't have anything in common but I love you, and if Luke is what makes you happy then I am happy." Emily said.
"Aww, mom." Lorelai said and stood up, she hugged her mother, they were both crying "I love you too, and yes. Luke makes me happy, very happy." Lorelai managed to choke out. Just that moment as they were wiping their eyes- Emily with an engraved chiffon handkercheif and Lorelai with the sleeve of her shirt- Rory ran in the house. "Mom!" She yelled running in the living room.
"We're in here, kidd-o." Lorelai said.
"We?" Rory began "Oh hi grandma!" She said, smiling. "So, mom, how does it feel to be single for one last night?" She asked.
"Aw, hon, I can't wait to be married to Luke." Lorelai said.
"Lorelai, I know you want to be with Rory tonight but I just dropped by to give you something." Emily said reaching into her purse pulling out a black box.
"Mom this is hardly the time to propose!" Lorelai jokingly said. Emily handed her the box, as Lorelai was about to open it Rory sat down, looking at some things on the table. "Mom!" Lorelai said, breathless. "It's... beautiful!" she said.
"It was the necklace I wore on my wedding day... I thought it would look great with your dress." Emily said. "If you want it you can keep it." She added.
"Mom, this is too much." Lorelai said handing Emily the box but Emily refused.
"Nonsence, Lorelai. Your day must be perfect down to the left shoe." Emily said.
"Thanks, mom." Lorelai said admiring the silver necklace, she ran her finger over the heart in the center, it had small diamonds all around it. Emily hugged Lorelai and Rory and left.
"Uhm, mom..." Rory began, Lorelai set the black velvet box on the counter and sat down across the table from her daughter.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"This.. is the guest list, right?" Rory said pointing to a cream shade of paper with names scribbled down on it.
"Yeah, why? Did I forget someone?" Lorelai said grabbing the paper and scanning down the page. She stopped at one particular name "Oh." She said sitting the paper down, Rory looked sad but tried to hide it.
"I'm sorry, Rory... but he is Luke's nephew." Lorelai said.
"Yeah, I know. But it's still akward." Rory replied. "But, it is your day and I will do anything not to screw it up." Rory said perking up in the chair. Lorelai was about to respond when Sookie busted through the back door holding a "Harold's Hartford Pharmacy" bag in her hand.
"Lorelai... I got them." Sookie said.
"Got what?" Rory asked.
"Nothing, hey why don't you get popcorn and put on a movie for tonight while I talk to sookie upstairs." Lorelai suggested, Rory nodded and went into the living room to pick out a movie. Lorelai and Sookie snuck the bag upstairs incase something would show.
"I thought you were going to tell her." Sookie said.
"I want to be sure before I tell her." Lorelai said shutting her bathroom door, sookie and Lorelai were standing in the bathroom akwardly. Sookie pulled out a pink box with the picture of a baby on it. "Three sticks in one pack, wow. Things have changed since I had to take one of these." Lorelai said. Sookie turned to face the wall as Lorelai did her buisness on the pregnancy tests. When she was done she set them on the sink, Rory knocked on the door.
"Listen I know you guys are having a secret meeting in the clubhouse but mom, I made a list and I wanna make sure you have everything for the wedding." Rory said.
"Listen, you cover these up and make sure she doesn't see them." Lorelai whispered to sookie who nodded and grabbed a towel placing them over the tests. Lorelai opened the door to look at Rory, who was sitting on the floor, Lorelai placed a hand on her hip and shook her head. "Two minutes home and you already made a list." Lorelai said.
"Don't mock. Okay. Something old-" Rory said.
"Grandma's necklace- check."
"Something new-" "The garter I place on my thigh." Lorelai said with a wink.
"Something borrowed- the clips to put the veil in place." Rory finished. "And something blue." Lorelai looked into space to remember "huh! I don't think I have anything blue." Lorelai began, Sookie got panicked.
"Yes you do." Sookie said.
"What?"
"The pregnancy test is blue... your pregnant" Sookie whispered. Lorelai's mouth dropped. "Oh, gosh, look at the time, I'd better go. I'll see you girls tomorrow." Sookie patted Lorelai on the back and hugged Rory.
"Rory, lets... go talk in my bedroom." She said.
"Ok, what's going on?" She asked. Lorelai and Rory sat down on the bed.
"A few days ago... I ate an apple." Lorelai said and Rory's eyes widened.
"Oh boy..." Rory whispered.
"And well... I haven't eaten anything remotely healthy- that Luke hasn't forced me to eat- in about...23 years." Lorelai said. "So I called up sookie to get me a pregnancy test and I didn't want to tell you until I was certain about the outcome and... well... looks like your going to get a little brother or sister." Lorelai said putting her hands on her stomach.
"Wow. Thats. Wow. I'm. WOW." Rory tried to form a sentence.
"Ok hon, your going to need to give me more then that... are you happy?" Lorelai asked. Rory gave a blank expression then smiled.
"Of course I'm happy! Your having a baby! Thats so..." Rory tried to find the word.
"Wow?" Lorelai suggested.
"Yeah, it's... wow." "I've heard. So, kiddo what did you pick out for tonight?"
"I was thinking The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Brad and Janet were engaged after all." Rory suggested.
"Yeah and then frank happened. Oh Rory, please don't mention this to Luke- or anyone else. I want to tell them." Lorelai said.
"The me corrupting you with Rocky horror or the pregnancy?" Rory said and smiled
"The pregnancy. I don't think he'd even believe you if you said I was being corrupted by you, my angel darling daughter." Lorelai said. As they walked down stairs Lorelai was picturing a little boy- a minature Luke running around. She liked the look of that.
Rory woke up and went to her closet, she looked at her dress and smiled. She couldn't wait until the wedding, she was so happy for her mother. The clock read 7:00 She gasped. The wedding was at 1:00 pm Lorelai was in the kitchen listening to 'Diamond Dogs' by David Bowie, she read the news paper gulping down her coffee. Rory came into the kitchen.
"I'd much rather you get married in that, please." Rory said to her mother wearing a lime green robe with blue bunny slippers.
"Hush, you." Lorelai said.
"Why isn't Luke here?" Rory asked.
"He didn't want to see me before the wedding so he slept in the 'appartment' lastnight." Lorelai said
"Oh, how... cozy." Rory said. She grabbed a peach colored towel from the hall closet and a white robe. "I'm
going to take a shower, then we can get our hair and makeup done." Rory said.
"Geesh Rory, The wedding isn't until 1." Lorelai said.
"Aren't we like the army?"
"True, getting more done before 9:00 is our specialty. But don't rush, and feel free to use the lavender soap in the shower." Lorelai said.
"Ok, thanks. You eat some breakfast and enjoy yourself." Rory said.
