They sighed as relief washed over them. Lorelai was pregnant; she - twenty-five years after Rory - was going to have another baby. She was going to have another baby with Luke, her husband, the love of her life. Without waiting anymore, she pulled him into a tight hug.
Luke couldn't believe it. With the time and all the difficulties they had gone trough in the past, he was sure that he wouldn't have any children with Lorelai. But now, as the stick had said it, she was pregnant.
"Oh my God, Luke! It's…"
"I know."
--------------
Weirdly, it bugged him. Usually, when it happened, he would have gotten up, taken a shower and headed downstairs to prepare his day. But today, it really bugged him. Years ago, he wouldn't even have thought about it, but today, it wasn't the same. He wasn't able to sleep and it bugged him.
He turned around and looked at her. She was quietly sleeping. Her skin was a little green, but she still looked radiant to him. In fact, she was more beautiful right now than ever. He put an arm around her waist and kissed her hair. If there had to be one bright side of his insomniac morning, it would have been this.
However, this soon ended when Lorelai quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. Luke, a bit confused by this, followed her and found sitting on the ground throwing up in the toilet. He quietly approached her and took her hair in his hand.
"It sure is your son," she said after she was finished.
"Son?" he asked amused and perplexed.
"Waking me up at this hour, he can't be anything but your son," she continued as she wiped her mouth.
"Why a son?"
"Because a Gilmore girl would be nicer to her mommy!"
"Gilmore?" he asked again, still amused.
"Oh! Sorry, force of habit," she said awkwardly.
"Another discussion for another time," he smiled. "You feel better? It was quite a show you just pulled there!"
"I don't know," she said sighing, "if I didn't know I was pregnant, I would seriously doubt it this morning. Gahh… it's too early to be up. I need coffee!"
"There's no way in hell I'm giving you coffee this morning, I don't want it…"
"Him," she cut him off.
"…him to have two heads."
"Come on…" she demanded.
"No!" he answered firmly.
"Luke?" she pouted.
"I said no, if you want coffee, fine, but I won't give it to you. Get it by yourself."
"Fine," she sighed. "I'd probably throw it up after, anyway."
"Good, you want some breakfast?"
"Please, let me just…" she pointed her toothbrush.
---------------------
When she went down the stairs, breakfast was already ready to be eaten.
"Here, I tought you must want some cereal, it's light on the stomach," he said as he hold her out a bowl.
"Thanks," she told him and began to eat. "Oh man, I'm so hungry. I feel like I don't have anything in my stomach.
"You don't," he said as he began to eat his oatmeal. "So…"
"So?"
"It's Friday."
"Yes, it is."
"Tonight is…"
"I know."
"Do we tell them tonight?"
"I don't know. Telling them tonight means that we have to tell Rory before. I'd really like to announce the good news to her before them."
"So, call her."
"I guess… I don't want to tell her over the phone."
"Why?"
"'Cause it's Rory, she's my heart, my only child… until now, I want to tell her and then yell with her and cry and laugh and hug her and you know…"
"Yeah I know, so we're going to tell them next week, on Thanksgiving?"
"I guess… oh no!"
"What?"
"You remember four years ago when we began dating the first time?"
"I think I do," he said sarcastically.
"You remember how my mom learned we got together?"
"That, actually, I don't."
"Kirk told her."
"Kirk?"
"I don't remember exactly the story, but Kirk, somehow, answered the phone at the inn and told her."
"Where are you going with this fascinating story?"
"We can't not tell her, unless…"
"Danger! Danger!"
"We don't tell the town."
"Huh, I don't know if you remember yesterday."
"Yeah, but we could… lie to them!"
"How?"
"We just tell them that the test was negative."
"Yeah and right after, we could go teach at the actor's studio."
"Come on, Luke, just… what if the test was really negative? How would you be this morning?"
"Upset, I think."
"So act upset."
"I can't act upset, I couldn't even hide you that I wanted to marry you when I was going to propose, how could I pretend that we won't have another child?"
"Hon, you dropped the ring the morning before our date," she laughed as she got up to put her bowl in the sink.
"Yeah, but it doesn't change the fact that I can't do this," he tried as he followed her.
"Just be yourself, don't smile, bark at the customers, throw the plates, be mean to Kirk."
"I'm always mean to Kirk."
"That's exactly what I'm trying to say."
"I guess."
"So, you'll try?"
"Yeah, I'll try."
"Great, you're the best!" she kissed him. "I love you."
"I love you too," he smiled and hugged her.
"Luke?"
"Mm?"
"We're going to have a baby," she said breaking the hug, looking at him as his smile could have made an iceberg melt.
TBC.
