A/N: Okay, I know you all probably expected a few more chapters from this. I just ran out of ideas for this story and motivation to write it. Rather than leaving it unfinished, I wrote this really quickly. I will be starting another story soon. If you guys really want me to go back and actually finish this story, let me know and I will. Please Review. Even if it's just to say "your story sucked major butt", I still want to know. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy it.


Epilogue

"I don't know, Sookie. I don't know why I keep patronizing myself with this. Luke can't have kids, and yet I'm holding on to some feeble hope that he can and that's not doing any good. Why do I even want them so bad? I have everything I could ever want here with Rory and Elizabeth."

"I know, sweetie. It's a human instinct to want children with the man you love. Just like it's a human instinct to want pie."

"Mmm, pie… Luke's pie!" Lorelai found herself daydreaming. Sookie giggled at the tangent she'd managed to get Lorelai in. "It's the best in all the land. Children dream of it. Adults lust for it. Did you know I was adopted? Pie is my biological birth mother. Emily Gilmore is just my Mrs. Hannigan."

Sookie giggled. "Lorelai, Emily is not Mrs. Hannigan…"

"You're right." Lorelai consented. "She's that god-awful Lily woman. Isn't that her name? Rooster's chick?" Sookie laughed. "And my father is Rooster. Oh no! Where's Rory? They're going to chase her up a ladder…" Lorelai rambled on.

"Pie!" Sookie interrupted, trying to get Lorelai off her random tangent.

"I'm going to go take a shower so I can get some from Luke," Lorelai said.

"Since when do you have to shower to go to Luke's?" Lorelai shrugged. "Bye Sook." She hung up the phone and wandered upstairs to the bathroom and climbed in the shower.


Luke opened the door, "Lorelai?" he called. When she didn't answer he made his way upstairs to the sound of the shower running. He knew Rory and Elizabeth weren't home. They'd gone to the library or some other social gathering thing. He knocked on the door lightly and made his way into the bathroom.

"Luke?" Lorelai asked.

"I'm just using the bathroom," he said. When Lorelai didn't reply, Luke dropped his keys on the counter. He noticed something small on the counter and picked it up looking at it.

"Lorelai?"

She stuck her head out of the shower, her eyes closed shut for fear of getting soap in them. "Lorelai, get out of the shower for a minute, will you?"

She groaned. "there's food downstairs," he said to lure her out.

Within minutes she'd jumped out of the shower and was standing in front of him, a towel wrapped around her waist. She looked at him as he eyed the thing he was holding in her hand.

"I just…" Lorelai started to explain.

"Did you read the results?" Luke asked.

She shook her head. "I was just going to throw it away. It's silly, right?" She looked away, a sad expression on her face.

"Lorelai, it's pink." He said softly. She looked up at him, her eyes wide with surprise. She grabbed it out of his hand and stared at it. "But I thought… I… We.." She jumped into Lorelai's arms and he caught her. He held her tight.

"It is a miracle baby, right?" He teased her. "It's not going to come out looking like Kirk or anything?"

Lorelai's face paled. "That was wrong on soooo many levels." Luke smiled and squeezed her hand.

She smiled back at him. "I'm pregnant." She sighed and leaned against him, momentarily forgetting about all of the food waiting downstairs because she was so content just being in the arms of her baby's father.

After Lorelai had gotten dressed, she and Luke went downstairs. They were sitting at the kitchen table, roles reversed. Lorelai was eating a salad and Luke was eating a cheeseburger, wincing the entire way.

"That stuff'll kill ya you know," Lorelai said, shoveling lettuce in her mouth.

"Good," He replied. "It'll kill you first so I won't have to live in misery as long." Lorelai looked up at him and smiled. He really was an old softy. At that moment, the door swung open and in walked Rory and Elizabeth, chatting up a storm.

"Yum! Cheeseburgers!" Rory and Elizabeth exploded, grabbing one from the bag and tons of fries.

Luke laughed. "You're welcome, girls." He smiled at them and ate another fry, thinking about how far things had come since this time last year. He had never been happier than he was right now. He had two kids in his life that he loved like his own, and one on the way. He had a beautiful woman that he woke up next to every morning. He thought back to the year before when he and Lorelai had been fighting over kids non-stop. He thought about Elizabeth, and how much her appearance had healed their relationship. He had doubted her story in the beginning, and even after talking with her a few times he still wasn't sure he believed her. But he'd decided to let her in. He knew Lorelai wanted her there, and they were struggling already. Anything to make Lorelai happy, he had decided. He had no idea she would grow on him the way she did. Almost a year and a half later as Elizabeth started looking at colleges and talking about moving away with Rory to Yale, he was the one begging her to stay.
