Lorelai Victoria Gilmore is indeed pregnant.

Oh G-d! Why does this have to happen to me again? I am pregnant without being married, just like the last time. But this time I love the person who caused it. I need Luke. I have to tell him. How am I going to tell him? I can't just go to him and say, 'hey Luke how are you? You're going to be a dad again'. What am I going to do!

As Lorelai was contemplating this, Luke was at the diner taking customers' orders, being even grumpier than he usually is.

"Cesar I'm taking a break!" Luke called, storming up the back stairs.

G-d! How could I be so stupid! Why couldn't I see that she was unhappy? I love her so much and I ruined it by ignoring her while spending time with April. I ruined everything! I have to fix it. But how? I need Lorelai. I need my Lorelai back. G-d I'm an idiot!

Luke ran down the stairs and before he walked out the door he said, "I'll be gone for a while".

Luke walked out to the town square and saw Lorelai sitting in the gazebo.

He approached her slowly.

"Lorelai I…." Lorelai interrupted him.

"No Luke…..I have to tell you something" Lorelai started, tears already starting to flow down her cheeks.

"What is it Lorelai?" Luke asked, concerned.

"I don't think I can…..Ok. I—I—I'm p—p­—­­pregnant" Lorelai stuttered, even more tears flowing down her cheeks.

"You're wh­—what?" Luke was surprised.

"I'm pregnant Luke and you are going to be a dad" Lorelai said it with more confidence.

"You're sure?" Luke asked.

"Yes Luke I'm absolutely positive" Lorelai said, no happiness in her voice at all.

"That's great Lorelai" Luke said, a tiny smile appearing on his face.

"Is it really Luke? Do you honestly think that this will repair our relationship?" Lorelai was beginning to get angry.

"No Lorelai. But maybe this will bring us closer so we can try to repair what we lost" Luke answered.

"Well I just wanted you to know. I didn't want to keep it from you. Now the big problem is what the town will say when they find out. They will find out. Just one look at my stomach in a few months and they'll know. Or if Patty or Babette hear one of us talking about it, the town will know in a matter of minutes. Look, Luke I miss us. I really do. But if we are to make this work we need to be absolutely, positively, without a shout of a doubt, honest with each other. Also I need to have a relationship with April. That is all I ask right now. I really am surprised you are not very shocked that I'm pregnant, like I thought you'd be. You sure are still shocked about April, from what I can tell. But you aren't shocked about me being pregnant. Why is that Luke?"

"Yes I'm still shocked about April because I hadn't known about her for 13 years. I know that I've said before that I hated kids. Yes other's kids but not my own. So I'm not shocked. When I'm shocked I think about things, as you know. But this I didn't have to think hard about because, I already know that I'm going to love this kid because it's a part of you and me. I will say this numerous times until you believe me. I love you Lorelai and I'm sorry"

"Luke I have forgiven you. I know you love me but it's still hard to trust you after all you kept from me. I love you too Luke. If we are to make it Luke, we need to promise each other that we will tell each other everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. I promise. Do you promise Luke?"

"I promise Lorelai. I truly promise"

Lorelai broke down crying in Luke's arms.

Luke gladly hugged her. He would hug her for all eternity if he could.

"I've missed this Luke. You've been so preoccupied with April and I've been trying to avoid it"

"Shh….I know Lorelai, I know." Luke stroked her hair trying to comfort her.

Lorelai put her head on his shoulder and smiled.

Luke smiled too, happy that he was going to be a dad and that he got his Lorelai back.
