"Well you'll be pleased to know that she seems to be doing much better now. We have sedated her but her vitals are much stronger and we're hoping there will be no need for surgery on her brain. Also the vitals for the baby are nice and strong too, so there are no worries there also. All in all it's a very good result. So, do you have any questions for me?"

-a few seconds later-

"A baby?!"

"The baby!"

"Baby?!"

"What baby?!"

"My daughter is pregnant?!" screeched Emily Gilmore.

"Well urm yes, didn't, errr, any of you know?" the doctor stuttered.

"Does it look like we were aware Doctor?!" Emily screeched in return.

"Well urm no, I suppose not... Well anyway yes there is a baby, she's about 16 weeks along and seems perfectly healthy. Now we were having some struggles getting hold of her up-to-date medical records so I'm sure there will be more information there."

The doctor now turned to Luke who had remained silent since the news had broken.

"Excuse me sir, but are you the father?"

Luke remained silent, his head was spinning with the doctor's words, baby... Lorelai was pregnant with a baby... his baby? Or... HIS... baby?

"Errm, Mr Danes? Are you the father?"

Luke was doing the maths in his head, he and Lorelai had broken up four months ago and she was 16 weeks pregnant which meant... he didn't know. He looked up, and stared the doctor right in the eyes,

"I don't know."

Before turning on his heel and walking away.

-2 hours later-

"I really think I should go and try to find him" said Rory desperately to Sookie for the hundredth time.

"Just leave him be love, let him cool off and wrap his mind around things. He might be becoming a dad soon." Sookie added.

"Or my dad is again..." Rory muttered.

At that point the doctor returned again to announce that one person could go in and sit with her as they were expecting her to come round soon. Rory jumped up and leapt into her mother's hospital room.

"Now she's lost alot of blood which is why her skin is so pale and we've had to stitch up the wound on her head, but she is looking alot better now. Just be gentle with her. She'll be very groggy when she wakes up so don't quiz her too much. She may not even remember."

And with that the doctor left the Gilmore girls alone.

"Mom? Mom it's me, it's Rory. Can you hear me?"

Rory sat in the chair next to the bed and started stroking her mum's cold hand.

"Mom don't do that to me again ok? You had us all really worried there, me, grandma, granddad, Sookie... Luke... he still loves you, you know that? That man is completely in love with you. I wish that one day I can find someone who will love me as much as he loves you."

As she was rambling on and on about finding true love and her insecurities regarding Logan, she didn't notice her mother's eyelashes beginning to flutter open or her cracked lips parting, desperate for water. It wasn't until she spoke that Rory realised her mother was awake.

"Hey kid..." she muttered.

"Mom?! Oh my God how are you feeling?! Does your head hurt, do you need a doctor?! I..."

"Rory!" Lorelai interrupted, "Slow down kid! What's, what's going on? Where are we?" her voice was cracked and dry.

"You're in the hospital Mom, you fell and hit your head, remember? But don't worry, Luke found you and..."

"Luke?!"

"...and called the ambulance. They arrived and brought you here. They kept you sedated to watch the swelling on your brain and to check on the baby..."

"Baby?!"

"...but they've reduced your sedation and... well here you are!" Rory finished.

"Wait, wait, wait... baby?!"

"What was that? Ask me again in a sec, I'll just go tell the others you're awake! Back in a sec!"

Rory ran out of the room into the corridor to where the other three were still outside, there was no sign on Luke.

"She's awake! She's awake! Quick come in!" she shouted.

Emily, Richard and Sookie all leapt up and followed Rory into the room.

"Oh Lorelai you gave us quite a scare! How could you do this to me? To your father, to Rory?!"

"I'm sorry mom, it wasn't planned or anything promise!" Lorelai muttered.

"How are you feeling," said Sookie leaning in to grab her hand.

"Oh you know... Like I hit my head on a table... The norm...Although actually there is one thing I am confused about... Rory mentioned a... a baby?!"

"Yes sweetie, your baby. You're pregnant remember!" Sookie laughed.

"Errm no I'm not"

"Yes you are!"

"Noooo I'm not!"

"Lorelai the charade is over. The doctor told us himself that you were 16 weeks along. Now just tell us."

"Mom. I'm not pregnant. I think I would remember if I was pregnant!"

The doctor, who's timing was starting to seem almost comical, entered the room.

"So how are we all doing then? Aahh Miss Gilmore, you're awake. Now I just need to get a few more details about your pregnancy as nothing is coming up on your medical records."

"That's because... I'm not pregnant!" Lorelai was almost shouting by this point.

"Hmmm I'm afraid you definitely are pregnant. Miss Gilmore could you please tell me your full name?"

"Lorelai Victoria Gilmore."

"Your parent's names?

"Emily Gilmore and Richard Gilmore."

"Your daughter's name?"

"Lorelai, Rory, Leigh Gilmore"

"The current president of the United States?"

"George W Bush. Look there is no problem with my memory! I. Am. Not. Pregnant!"

The doctor turned round and pulled a piece of equipment towards him.

"This Miss Gilmore is an ultrasound. I used it myself to discover your pregnancy, look"

He turned the machine on and placed the control on Lorelai's stomach. He moved it a little and everyone looked at the screen. No-one was more shocked than Lorelai when a clear heartbeat came through.

"Oh my God. I'm pregnant."


So Lorelai's not even in the loop! Next chapter Luke is going to confront Lorelai... I wonder how that'll go?!

Will try to upload asap, may even be tonight! But still... please review! :)
