'I'll see both of you in a couple weeks for a check-up. We will do an ultra sound to figure out how far along you." As the doctor went on, Lorelai blushed a little. Luke looked like he had seen a ghost. He stood there thinking quietly to himself, "So she was pregnant. That's why she passed out when she was in the diner. I wonder who the father is. We haven't been broken up that long, but knowing my luck it belongs to Matt."

The doctor continued by saying, "Remember to get a lot of rest, eat healthy and no caffeine. There can be no exceptions to the caffeine rule. The passing out should subside soon, but if it doesn't please come back in or call me to set up an appointment. Other than that your perfectly fine to go home."

The little talk about 'no caffeine' made Luke laugh. He couldn't imagine Lorelai going without caffeine more than a day let alone nine months. But once again reality smacked him, telling him that she had accepted tea from Luke without any complaints.

"God did I miss seeing this woman. Why did I have to mess it up soo badly? Maybe I can get another chance, if she'll let me. I refuse to take advantage of this situation and of her. I love her more than she will ever know." Luke thought to himself. He was still flustered about the whole situation.

By now Lorelai had a couple more questions for Rory and Luke. As they were walking out of the hospital Lorelai asked to no one in general, "Do I have a job? Are my parents still alive? Do I even have parents? Am I married? Oooh do I have a husband, which might be the same question but whatever?

Luke took the task of answering the marriage question, "You almost got married 5 years ago, but didn't because you knew that you loved someone else. So uh no you haven't been married, yet. But you do pretty good by yourself and with Rory."

This took Lorelai by surprise. She began to wonder who it was that she loved. Was it the guy standing next to her or was it somebody else.

Rory took the first two questions after Luke had finished about marriage and husband ones. "Yes you are employed. You own and operate one of Connecticut's most popular Inns." As Rory continued Lorelai mentioned something about being sick. Since they had yet to make it to the car, she hobbled to the nearest bathroom, with Rory right behind her. This left a disheveled Luke standing in the parking lot.

Rory held up her hair back, as Lorelai threw up whatever was in her stomach. When she was done, she looked a little pale.

"God I hope this doesn't happen often. Throwing up sucks big time!" Lorelai said half-heartedly.

Gently rubbing her back, Rory replied, "Sorry I don't think it gets much better, it's the morning sickness kicking in. The doctors had mentioned something that it might come and go. The name is a bit redundant though because it happens all freaking daylong. I remember you telling me stories of when you were pregnant with me. How you got sick at all the wrong times because you thought it was only during the morning but alas they lied to you."

Lorelai absorbed this knowledge then asked, "How old was I when I had you, if you don't mind me asking?"

Rory smiled a little, "You were only 16 years old at the time and said it was one of the best things to happen to you. Because it gave you the chance to be a better mom to your child than your mom was to you," she paused slightly before continuing, "Your parents come from money. Meaning that your supposed to be the stay at home wife that has the maid put dinner on the table at 7pm everyday, no matter what. Being a high society woman wasn't what you wanted, so after I was born you ran away from home to Stars Hollow to live. You've lived there ever since with me. You have managed to buy your own home, find a decent and paying job, all without the help of anybody mainly your parents. You even graduated with a business degree from the community college in Hartford. They haven't forgiven you for having a kid and for running away at 16. Emily and Richard Gilmore are very strange. They tend to hold grudges against anybody for anything just because they can." Rory stopped talking to catch her breath. She glanced at her mother and noticed the tears in her eyes. Before she could question her about it, Lorelai ran back into the bathroom stall.

Lorelai walked back to the sink, tears in her eyes, "Sorry about that. Wow my parents don't sound like nice people. I guess they wouldn't be too happy to learn I'm pregnant again, huh?"

Rory really didn't want to say anything but figured it was easier coming from her than listening to them grumble about it. She replied, "Probably not, but you did fine by yourself with your first kid, so who knows. Maybe this little one will be just as wonderful." This made Lorelai cry some more, knowing that her first-born thought of it this way.

"Great, now I made myself cry and my mother. I hope she knows how much I love her and that if anything should happen to her I would never forgive myself." Rory thought to herself, wiping the tears from her eyes.

As they stood in the woman's bathroom of the hospital crying, they heard a soft knock on the door.

"Are you guys okay in there?" asked a gruff, caring voice.

Recomposing themselves a little, Lorelai and Rory walked out of the restroom towards the voice.

Rory replied softly, "Yea, were okay, Just discussing the indecencies of Emily and Richard Gilmore."

Luke pulled Rory into a hug and told her it would be all right. That this would be figured out sooner or later. The sight before Lorelai made her wonder if this man was Rory's father. She certainly hoped so because they seemed to get along in that manner. If he wasn't then maybe she was better off not knowing who it was. She would find the time to ask that question later.

"How about I get you girls home. Find you something to settle your stomach." Luke asked, placing his hand in the small of Lorelai's back as they once more walked out of the hospital.

When Luke put is hand on Lorelai's back, it tensed a little but relaxed as if this was a perfectly normal routine.

On the way home, Luke and Rory noticed how Lorelai flinched ever so lightly when a car passed them. They figured it was due to the car accident, that Lorelai probably didn't know she was doing it.

In the silence of the car, they heard a slight sniffle come from the direction of Lorelai.

"God, I'm a wreck. Sorry I keep crying but I can't help it. Part of me is happy to find somebody I actually remember but sad at the same time because I have no clue about the rest of the stuff."

Rory pulled her mother into a hug, calming her down, "It will be okay. Sooner or later something will spark that little memory and everything will come back. But until then, you have us. Right Luke?"

He smiled, "Yea, Lorelai you'll always have me. Always have and always will, your one of my best friends. Probably my only true friend, but we go back a ways."

This made Lorelai cry a little harder, to know that this guy cared so deeply for her yet she had no clue about their past. Were they together in a relationship, had they broken up or had just stayed the best of friends. Even if they had loved each other, as Rory hinted earlier.

As Lorelai sat in the car, in Rory's hug, she casually said, "To know that I have two very special people here with me, who happen to care so much about me and for me. That makes me feel like the happiest person in the world right now," In between her tears and Rory's, "I'm glad that you know me so well and that you don't hate me for something I did that I don't even remember anymore."

By now Rory had tears running down her cheeks and Luke was doing his best to hide his from the two people he loved more than anything.

This had turned out to be one of the best days of Luke's life. He had helped Rory out and had found Lorelai again. She was soo happy and elated to find people who truly cared for her. Unlike her parents, which Luke knew would upset her more than she would be later on. "Emily and Richard wouldn't understand what had happened, then knowing them, they would probably scream at Lorelai because she didn't call. So how can this sweet woman call you when she can't even remember who she is, let alone her own kid. She's supposed to remember her parents. Yes because they are soo freaking important in her life. The ones who have secretly hated and regretted every decision Lorelai ever made with her life. It doesn't matter how it turned out or how Rory grew up to be exact. It all boils down to her not living their life, exactly as how they wanted it to be for her. To marry the rich preppy guys who expected her to be at home everyday, bored out of her mind, waiting for his safe return from work. Give me a break, but those people need to get a life and accept their daughter as she is. Accept everything she has done and will do with generosity, not scorn and anger." By now Luke's mind was off on a tangent. He really wasn't sure how he got there but it happened.

Eventually Lorelai had calmed down as had Rory and before they knew it, Luke had made his way into Stars Hollow once again. Lorelai smiled about being what her daughter would call 'home.' Luke parked his green pick-up truck outside the diner and got out. He went around to Lorelai's door to help her out of the car. Once she was out, Rory then scrambled out after her.

The three of them stood on the sidewalk of Stars Hollow, outside the diner for what seemed like forever. That was until Lorelai's stomach growled a little, making Luke laugh.

Still laughing, he suggested, "How about we go inside and get something to eat."

The girls agreed and the threesome walked towards the door of the diner.
