"I heard it! I heard the alarm go off! Let me in now, please Lorelai!" Sookie's voice echoed though the door, but her anticipation was met with silence. On the other side of the door Lorelai sat on the ground, biting her thumb nail and staring at the white stick which had just set the entire course of her life off track. Silently she cried, her eye slowly filling up with tears. She blinked away her tears, but she couldn't answer Sookie, because with the escape of any noise from Lorelai's mouth, would come her shrieking cries. "Lorelai, open the door! What does it say?" Sookie tried the door again, but the result was no different. She leaned herself against the wall, waiting for the results. "Lorelai, come on." she said in almost a whisper as she hung her head biting her lip.

Ten minutes passed before the bathroom door slowly squeeked open. Sookie's head jerked up instantly as Lorelai's frail figure appeared in the doorway. She was still holding the stick with one hand as she tightly grip the frame of the bathroom door with the other. "Well?" Sookie asked one more time, as if she couldn't of already figured out the results. Lorelai still said nothing, she handed Sookie the pregnancy test without stopping, and continued to slowly make herself to her bed. She flopped herself ontop of the bedspread, freshly made by Emily's sixth maid of the month, and stared at the plain white ceiling. Sookie stood in the corner of the room which she had claimed her waiting post for the past 20 minutes and stared at her best friend. She too was trying hard to fight back the tears which were trying so hard to escape her.

Quickly Sookie scurried over to Lorelai and lay next to her in bed, her arm around her waist and her head on her chest. "It's okay, you have me, it'll be okay." She said, trying to reassure both herself and Lorelai.

"Thanks" Lorelai murmered half-heartedly. Sookie's uncertainty was apparant in the shake of her voice, and although neither of them said it, they both knew it. And as that moment passed, there was a loud bang at the door. Sookie scurried to hide the pregnancy test which she still held in her hand. "Who is it?" Lorelai jumped up out of bed trying to brush the wrikles out of the bed.

"It's your mother, can I come in?" Emily's voice passed through the door. In that time Sookie was able to successfully gather up all of the pieces which had come in the small pregnancy kit box, but was at a loss for places to hide them while Lorelai was still working on the bed. She held the box in her hand, frantically searching for a place to hide it. She stared at Lorelai, much like a deer stuck in headlights.

"Just a second" Lorelai's voice was anxious, as she looked up at Sookie holding her future in her hands. The little plastic stick which had told her to say goodbye to her childhood, and to say hello to motherhood. Her face was panic struck, her big blue eyes were bugged, and her lips parted as she tried to think of a temporary solution to the box. She wasn't ready to face Emily yet, she wasn't ready for them to know.

"Not in a second, now Lorelai! What could you possibly be doing in there?" Emily's voice broke her concentration. Her eyes darted around the room for a secure location.

"Okay, I'm coming," she whined as she made her way to the door. "The balcony," Lorelai whispered almost mutedly over to Sookie as she shot her a glance. Sookie scampered across the room, and closed the door to the balcany as she maked her way back into the room just as Emily appeared in the doorway.

"Hello, Mrs. Gilmore," Sookie's voice trembled. Her hands were folded behind her back, and her breathing was heavy. As she made her way back to Lorelai's bed, she walked as if a clown had had replaced her shoes with his.

"Hello, Sookie," Emily's voice was condecending. "I was just coming up to ask you what you wanted for dinner next week, Lorelai."

"Since when do you want to know what I want for dinner?"

"Since next week is your birthday, and I always ask you what you want for dinner on your birthday. Honestly, Lorelai, it's not as if I'm some kind of villan. After all it is your special day. You only turn 16 once, you know?"

"Oh really? I could of sworn you just kept repeating the age 16 every year on your birthday for the rest of your life." Lorelai snapped at her. "How about some pizza and twinkies"

"Honestly, Lorelai. I ask you a simple question."

"You asked what I wanted, that's what I want."

"Pizza and Twinkies? Really Lorelai? Why don't we just eat whatever rodent we find living in a sewer? Or why don't we let the maid pick out what we're going to eat? The way that woman eats, we'll be eating tootsie rolls and gummy worms for dinner." Emily walked right out of the room, practically slamming the door behind her. Lorelai looked over to Sookie and a brief wave of relief overcame her. She sighed and sat on the floor at the base of her bed, until a second moment of realization came crashing down on her like a brick wall. Once again she pulled her legs up to her chest and rested her flushed cheeks against her bare knee. Her plain skirt raised abover her knee.
