A/N: Okay I am officially the best person ever! I know that I said that I wouldn't be updating today but during my political science class I was overcome with the sudden urge to get coffee, and the resulting caffeine buzz created this. This chapter is short-ish but I'll post chapter 8 as soon as humanly possible. Now I have to go beg my boyfriend to let me steal his notes (yeah right, *sigh*)

Please, please, please take the time to review. All it takes is 10 seconds, and your reviews are the reason I keep writing!

Chapter Seven: Happy Ending…Finally

"Rooorrrryyyy!!!" yelled Lorelai, as Rory came into view at the airport.

"Mooommmm!!! Rory yelled back, catching her mom in a flying hug.

"A week in London and that's all you can say! Oh I can't believe you're home! You must promise never to leave mommy again."

"I was only gone five days!"

"Yes but I didn't see you for two weeks before that, plus this is the first time I'm seeing you pregnant! And my oh my just look at that glow. It's a crime for someone to look this good!"

"Yeah but in five months I'm going to look like a blimp!"

"Ha that's right…. And I will tease you mercilessly. Finally! A chance get back at you for making me wear muumuu's for all of my senior year!!!" Lorelai declared with an evil laugh.

"Darn" Rory sighed "I knew I was going to pay for that eventually.'

"Come on kid" her mother responded wrapping an arm around her daughter "Lets get you home."

Rory smiled "No Hartford Connecticut souvenirs this time?"

"The gift shop is still sold out from the last time I was here."

"Damn." Rory sighed "And I was really looking forward to another Hartford Connecticut baguette."

They headed to the baggage claim and found Rory's suitcase in minutes, the Jeep however proved to be more of a challenge. Apparently in her excitement Lorelai had failed to note what level she parked in, let alone what row.

"So how was London?" Lorelai asked.

"British."

"Haha, I meant what did you guys do?"

"Nothing, we didn't really even leave the apartment."

"Dirty!" Lorelai exclaimed.

"Mom that was so not necessary!"

"Hey, all I said was 'dirty' there was no graphic details about your London sexcapades."

"Did you just say 'sexcapades'?"

"Yep." Lorelai said brightly.

"I swear I'm adopted."

"No way sweetie, I have the 14 hours of labour to prove it!"

"Oh thank God" Rory cried as they pulled into the driveway. "Wow" she exclaimed taking in the appearance of the yard "I've never seen the front yard look this green, and omigosh are those flowers?"

"Come on Rory, the yard always looks like this."

"Yeah right mom, you can't fool me this is so Luke and you know it. You expect me to believe that after that bulb incident when I was 17 that you would willingly take an interest in landscaping?"

She expected Lorelai to respond with an angry quip but instead she started counting on her fingers. "What on earth are you doing mom?"

"Oh nothing" Lorelai replied "just counting how many times I helped you with boy problems, and stayed up all night with you studying." She sighed "You try to teach them and raise them right and look how they turn out in the end."

"Okay mom I'm sorry, now can we pleeeaasseee go get coffee."

Lorelai perked up at the word "Logan is letting you drink coffee?" she queried.

"For one thing this is the 21st century and no man can control what I do. And secondly he'd kill me, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him. So let's go drink coffee to our hearts content."

"So he said no eh?"

Rory sighed "Yep, and threw all the coffee in the London apartment out the window."

"Seriously?"

"Yep, and then he had to pay for the dry-cleaning of a very expensive suit."

"What?"

"The coffee landed on someone's head."

"Ooh that's one of my biggest fantasies, raining coffee!"

Rory laughed "Well at the moment one of my biggest fantasies is actually drinking coffee. So can we please go to Luke's now?"

"Well" Lorelai said drawing the word out "there's just this teensy little problem."

"What…" Rory started to ask, but stopped at the guilty look on her mother's face. "You didn't!" Lorelai just nodded sheepishly. "Mom how could you!" Lorelai started to speak but was cut off. "I can't believe you told Luke! One it's my news to tell and two NOW I"LL NEVER GET COFFEE!" she said sounding close to tears.

"Okay calm down hormonal pregnant lady, I'm sorry I told him but I thought he ought to know since in 4 months he's going to be your step-father."

"But I need…" Rory stopped as her mom's words sank in. "WHAT!!!" she screamed.

Lorelai just nodded grinning from ear to ear with tears in her eyes. The two Gilmore girls grabbed on to each other, screaming ecstatically as they jumped around the yard.
