NOTE: I do not own anything Gilmore Girls… sad isn't it?

This is my first fanfic. I started writing it when I was in college. However, the story became too real.

I wrote this first chapter back during Season Five… It was set in the future then but now it isn't. To give you an idea: in my mind Rory is 24. Lorelai and Luke are married, and the April thing never happened…

LORELAI:

So, Jess is dating someone. Someone intelligent. That I can wrap my head around, well... sort of. I mean, he did date Rory at one point so there is clearly something in him that appears to girls with a brain. However, it's harder to understand why his girlfriend is moving in with us.

I mean, we have the space. I get it. The crap shack is no longer as crappy these days. Luke helped me get that addition built a few years ago and then we built another addition off the back not even a year ago. Still though? It doesn't quite make sense and Jess isn't exactly talkative enough to get actual answers. He takes after his uncle like that. I mean Luke isn't exactly Mr. chatty either. So it made sense that when Luke and I were in bed together - we might be in the habit of making regular afternoon delights – this girlfriend came up.

"So when's that girl coming to live with us?' Luke asked me

"Her name is Kat and she's coming tonight. You know this, Jess called us like an hour ago with the details…" I said, snuggling deeper into the crook of his arm

"Why is she coming again?"

"Luke, honestly don't you listen to your wife?" I asked suddenly sitting up and turning to face my husband

"Yes, I listen to you Lorelai, but why again?" Luke prodded.

"She's Jess's girlfriend and her parents kicked her out."

"She's the girl we haven't met."

"Yes, she's the one we haven't met," I stated, started to grow irritated

"Why was she kicked out?" Luke continued clearly not noticing my irritation.

"Luke! You listen to absolutely nothing, God I need some coffee."

"No coffee - "

"Meanie!"

"You didn't let me finish. No coffee, until you tell me why she was kicked out."

"She has a problem with something. Jess said we'd know what with when we see her."

"What do we really know about this girl anyway?"

I got out of bed at that point. Exasperated with the conversation since Luke was who had orchestrated or okayed this whole thing... I can't really see Luke with a baton, so okayed seems like the better word choice.

"That's she's an axe murderer turned drug dealer and she think Stars Hollow is the perfect place to stage a drug heist, because the police will never suspect it! Okay, okay, Luke we know that Jess really cares about her and that she's going to be staying in the spare bedroom."

With that I started to get dressed. Half hoping me being naked would distract Luke. It didn't.

"You're okay with her staying here?"

"Of course, I said I was, didn't I Lukey."

"Don't call me that!"

"Lukey, Lukey-baby, Lucas," I cooed, saying it how you would to a baby

"Especially not Lucas."

The phone rang and I rushed to answer it, despite being half dressed.

"Hello, you know what to do."

"Lorelai, I'm on my way over with Kat. Just thought I'd give you the heads up. She's inside her posh house-

"Hold up – Did Jess Mariano just say posh? As in the name of one of the Spice Girls? Did you secretly listen to them or something? Lemme guess, you had their video. Jess Mariano, I'm shocked"

"Lorelai – anyway she's in there getting her stuff. Please don't…"

"Don't what?"

"Nothing, I've got to go. We'll be there in about thirty minutes, bye." Jess said as he hung up.

"Bye"

"That was Jess?"

"Yep"

"Bringing the girl over?" Luke said sounding a bit like a cave man... a tone that I loved.
"Her name is Kat, and yes he's bringing her over. What do you think is wrong with her?"

"Besides the fact that she's dating Jess?"

"Yes, besides that fact and hey now! Rory dated Jess. Besides, as much as I hate to be wrong. Jess has changed. He's cleaning his act up… He did write that book… You don't think she's pregnant do you?"

"Nah, Jess would've told us… maybe?" uncertainty filled Luke's voice, though he tried to hide it.

"Luke, do you really think he would have?"

"Hold old is she?"

"18, I think... She's a senior at Chilton. You talk to Jess more than I do Luke, you should know this."

"18? Jess is 24… almost 25. She's not pregnant. She can't be," Luke was starting to be alarmed.

"Um yeah, she can be; I had Rory at 16... "

"But Christopher was 16 too."

"They don't have to be the same age Luke, because when two people love-" I teased.

"Lorelai, she is NOT pregnant!"

"Luke, calm down. What else could be wrong with her?"

"I don't know obviously something"

"Do you think she's eaten yet? If she is pregnant, she might be hungry"

"I don't think she's pregnant, but let's go to the diner. I'll get Caesar to cook us up some food to go."

"And coffee- you promised."

LATER

"I hope she doesn't think everyone here eats the way you do Lorelai, we have so much food here… it looks like we're trying to single handedly wipe out world hunger."

"Nah, just enough for dinner. Oh I hear a car. Let's go Lukey"

"I told you not to call me that."

"It's so much fun though, oh my god-"

"Lorelai, what's wrong?"

"I just saw her through the window."

"She's pregnant?"

She wasn't pregnant though.
