Second one shot is up! Review please!
Lorelai blankly stared into space as the doctor told her the words.
Still, it was a shock.
She was supposed to expand her family with the man she loved, yet sitting here, she felt numb.
The baby was still in the first trimester. "It happens a lot to women who are of a certain age."
Yet, she still felt an overwhelming sense of guilt as the doctor muttered those words.
"Mrs. Danes? Are you okay?" The doctor asked, clearly seeing Lorelai's lack of emotion.
"I'm fine. I just need to take a moment to tell my husband. I'm sure he will want to know so he can stop the plans on the nursery."
Again, the doctor gave a reassuring smile.
"You can always try again, you know?"
"I am well aware. Thank you." Lorelai gathered her things and went to her car.
On the way there, she craved something. Not a food, not even coffee.
The thing she so desperately craved at the moment was Luke.
Her craving was to be met when she pulled into the streets of Stars Hollow and spotted that diner that she loved so much.
Before she went in, she took a deep breath and looked at Luke in his zone with a smile across his face.
Walking in was half of the challenge.
"How's my favorite girl and our little one?" Luke asked, putting a protective hand on
Lorelai's stomach.
She didn't know what came over her, but in that moment, she broke down in front of everyone.
"Babe? You okay?"
"I need to see you upstairs, that's all."
They both went upstairs, and before either could sit down, Lorelai finally said the words out loud.
"I had a miscarriage, Luke."
Luke, clearly shocked by this new information, wrapped his wife in his arms and held her while she cried.
"Lorelai, I can't believe it. The one appointment I miss, and it's the one where you needed me the most."
"Luke, don't feel guilty. It's not your fault. It's neither of our fault's. Right now…"
Tears started to fall.
"I just need you to tell me that you love me."
"Oh, Lorelai. I love you so much."
Again, they cried together.
The whole town eventually knew of the baby that wasn't meant to be.
So did the Gilmore's.
Lorelai was grateful for the people she had in her life, but at the end of the day, it was she and Luke for the long haul.
And that was the way it would always be.
