Luke let the phone drop from out of his hand absentmindedly and fell on his knees, putting his head in his hands.

" How long?" Luke asked his wife. He realized how pitiful this must look and removed his hands scooting closer to her and sitting against the bathroom wall next to her.

" Just two weeks, I missed my period last week and took the tests with Sookie and went to the doctor while I was away, and here we are." She explained.

Lorelai looked at Luke and didn't know how to feel. She was excited about the baby, of course she was. She was just scared. Scared she would have to raise two more kids on her own again. Lexi was self-sufficient but still. Lorelai took a deep breath and looked into Luke's pained eyes.

" Your silence says enough Luke. If you were the man I married, you would be carrying me around and spinning me through the air. When we found out about Lex, you took my coffee away, completely! Now, you're dumbfounded and I'm alone!" Lorelai now broke down into hysterics. She didn't mean to be so weak, damn hormones. She had to be strong for so long, and she was tired. And the baby didn't seem to like anything she ate.

" Lorelai.. you think I am not happy about this?"

" I'm getting no reaction Luke. Process a little faster." She looked at him for an answer and tears began streaming down his face.

" The fact that you are questioning my commitment to this family says it all. I am afraid to be near you or the baby or Lexi or Rory. What if I can't get better? What if I mess up another kid's life? I want to be a father again Lorelai, before the accident we were trying to have another baby remember?"

"Of course I do, we tried for so long, you were even willing to.. go do whatever at the doctors to see what was wrong" a small grin appeared on her face and Luke pulled her closer to him.

" Good thing I didn't, saved a lot of embarrassment for something that wouldn't have been necessary"

Luke kisses her head and tries to pretend like he is processing all this, for Lorelai's sake and his own. He was never good at dealing with changes, but if he wanted to save his relationship he better get good at this fast.

" I can't carry you, but lets go lay back down. Will you go with me to therapy in the morning, I set it up a couple days ago." Lorelai stopped dead in her tracks and looked at him surprised.

" Really? You Luke Danes called the therapist all by yourself. Hun I'm so proud of you." She gave him a light pat on the cheek and fell into him in the process.

"Woah crazy lady, are you suppose to be this dizzy? Are you sure you don't want me to take you to check it out, just to make sure you're okay?"

Lorelai smiled to herself. Her Luke was coming back, at least a hint of him.

" Luke, I'm just really tired and haven't been relaxed in a long time. I'm not any dizzier then I was with Rory or with Lexi, because I remember comparing them when I was pregnant for a second time." She assured him and climbed into bed. Luke climbed in next to her and snuggled with her as she rested on her back.

"You have an excellent memory, you have to remember who I have to compete with." He kisses her stomach a few times and rests his head on her chest.

" This is true, I could have went to an ivy league school Luke, ya know? But I wouldn't have Rory and You and Lex and Sookie.. I'll go with you in the morning." Lorelai shuts her eyes.

" Okay, shh..I think Lexi should go too- I got her an appointment in the afternoon and you one with me."

" What?!" Lorelai pops up and knocks Luke's head off her in the process.

" I messed her emotions up, and it will help you, you love to talk." Lorelai made a disgruntled sound and laid back down.

" They aren't giving her any of those crazy pills, and you don't need them either. But you're right." Lorelai agreed.

"Go to sleep.. shh."

Both Lorelai and Luke drifted off into a peaceful sleep, the best sleep they have had in weeks.

"Mommy, Ma, Mom, Lorelai Victoria Gilmore." Lexi whispered and Lorelai opened her eyes.

"You okay baby? Oh Mommy shouldn't have sat up, oh no, oh no. Come on seriously?" Lorelai hits the toilet again and Luke sits up in bed, making Alexis jump backwards.

" Mommy.. Mommy.. I'm coming in there with you.." She runs away from Luke as fast as her little legs could take her.

Alexis's reaction hurt Luke twice as much as anything Lorelai could of said. He sat in bed, helplessly with his head and his hands and sobbed uncontrollably. Get it together and talk to your family Danes. Luke took a few deep breaths and made his way to the bathroom. Stopping at a closed door.

" Mommy are you okay?"
" I'm fine bear, remember how I told you my stomach hurt?" Here I go lying to my kid again.

" Oh yeah, it was a lie though. Your not very good at those mom" Busted.

Luke took this as his cue to knock on the door, saving Lorelai from any explanations neither of them were ready to give.

" Come in Luke, I'm fine"

Lexi gave her mother a wide-eyed stare and hid behind her hugging her waist.

" Lex, it's okay. Daddy is getting help and getting better. He hasn't had anything to drink."

Lorelai pulled the girl off of her waist and held her hand. As Luke stepped closer, Lexi moved closer and closer until her and Lorelai were attached at the hip.

" Princess, I am so sorry. I will never drink again," He kneels in front of his daughter and wipes the tears from his face. " I don't know what happened to me, but I know I hurt you and you're scared of me. But we used to be pals remember?"

Luke looked into his daughter's eyes that looked just like her mother's. She was perfect; Lorelai was perfect. And he needed to win her back.

" You let alcohol run your life. It made you mean and scary." Lexi confirmed.

" You're right, did you learn that in school?"

" Mommy told me when we talked, did you know she didn't drink coffee with me? Whoops." Lexi let out a little smirk.

" After what I put you through, you can have all the coffee you want"

Lexi let go of Lorelai's hand and fell into her fathers waiting arms. He kissed her face multiple times and wiped away both their tears.

" Lexi, can Daddy help you with whatever you need help with, I have to lie down." Lorelai points to the bed and falls into it.

" Sure, I need help with my math project " she tells Luke.

" Luke, that was beautiful. You are on my man, you owe me months of helping with math projects." Lorelai mumbled.

" She just said that because she isn't good at it." Lexi whispered in Luke's ear and Luke laughed lightly.

" I hear that, I have excellent hearing too you know. But you're right he is better at it." Lorelai mumbles louder. " What time is it?"

"6 in the morning" Lexi announced and Lorelai groaned.

" Why are you up child?"

" Project, 50% of my grades remember. Come on Daddy bus will be here in an hour and I still have to proofread."

Lorelai sits up and holds out her arms. Luke hugs her and kisses her head.

" Welcome back on the team Mr. Danes, I've missed you."
