A/N- In my story, Luke and Lorelai are only dating, they live together, the house now has 4 bedrooms, but they are not engaged… yet. Anyways, enjoy this next chapter. Hopefully it will be kind of long.

Chapter 10: You Like Bette Midler?

Lorelai pulled Luke into the house leaving Rory and Lynsey alone to make small-talk.

"Umm… Rory told me about a time when you got really drunk and "bonded" with someone." Lorelai said looking into Luke's clear blue eyes.

"Oh… she told you about that?" Luke asked ashamed 'Damn it! I can't believe Rory told her that.'

"Yeah she did, but umm… the same thing happened to me." She said staring at the ground.

"Oh. Wait you don't think-"

"I wrote a note to the guy and went to work, just to let him know what happened." Lorelai said rudely interrupting Luke.

"I got a note that night. Oh… it was you wasn't it?" Luke asked realizing what happened.

"Yeah. I got pregnant from that night. I hid it from Rory, so I gave the little girl up for adoption." She said looking square into Luke's eyes.

"So… that girl, is your daughter?" Luke asked referring to Lynsey.

"I think so, yes."

"You never told me about her? Lorelai we're in a relationship and you hid a huge part of your life from me?" Luke said hurt.

"She's not just my daughter she's yours to… I think."

"Fine Lorelai, what do we do about her?" Luke asked calming down.

"I don't know… should we tell her that you're her possible father?" Lorelai asked pacing the room.

"I guess we could," Luke said glancing up at Lorelai, "Are you ok?"

"Me? Yeah. Fine."

"Ok, so are we gonna go out there and tell her then?"

"I guess so." Lorelai said heading towards the front door.


The Porch

"Oh… hey Mom," Rory said once Lorelai and Luke came onto the porch. "Lynsey and I were just debating over which Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was better."

"I say it's the new one, since it's more true to the book. Plus Johnny Depp is kinda hot." Lynsey Remarked.

"Ok… Rory I know today has been rough on you but, don't you still have to go to work?" Lorelai asked

"Oh Crap! I gotta go. Bye!" Rory said running to her car.

"Ok. Lynsey… do you want to come in?" Lorelai asked.

"Sure."


Living Room

"This is my boyfriend Luke." Lorelai told Lynsey once they got to the couch.

"Nice to meet you." Lynsey said shaking his hand.

"You to." Luke said.

"I'll just cut straight to the chase. Lynsey, Luke is your biological father." Lorelai said.

"OK" Lynsey said.

"So, Lynsey… what are you interested in?" Luke asked.

"Everything really, I love to read, I like to write creative writing pieces, I'm interested in Archeology, I play trumpet, I'm in drama club, and I'm obsessed with the TV show Charmed." She replied.

"Wow, that's a lot of interests." Lorelai said smiling.

"Yeah," Lynsey said shrugging, "I also know some German, Spanish, and Russian."

"Can you speak any of the languages fluently?" Luke asked.

"No, but I can write Russian pretty good, I just can't speak it that well."

"Ok. What type of Music do you listen to?" Lorelai asked.

"Umm… I love Bette Midler, she's my idol. I also like Rascal Flatts, Nickelback, Carrie Underwood, Fall Out Boy, all sorts of stuff."

"You like Bette Midler?" Lorelai asked surprised.

"Yeah, she's awesome. Her movie Beaches is also my all-time favorite movie.

"That's a really sad movie." Lorelai said.

"Yeah, but I like it."

"What's your favorite food?" Luke asked.

"Broccoli."

"Huh… what's your favorite type of chocolate?" Lorelai asked.

"I don't like chocolate." Lynsey said. Luke was smirking at Lorelai.

"How can you not like chocolate?" Lorelai asked.

"I didn't grow up eating it; I actually thought I was allergic to it for awhile. I just don't want to eat it." Lynsey explained, "But can I ask you guys a question?"

"Go ahead." Luke said.

"How do you know he's my father?" Lynsey asked Lorelai.

"It's complicated." Lorelai replied.

"Ok. That works," Lynsey said, "Did you name me?"

Lorelai was hocked at her question, "No… I didn't want to; it would've been too hard."

"Oh." Lynsey said disappointed.

"What's your full name?" Luke asked.

"Lynsey Victoria Brennan."

"Victoria is my middle name." Lorelai said.

"Wow. What a coinky-dink." Lynsey said.

"When did you find out you were adopted?" Luke asked.

"It was the day after my 10th Birthday, and then they stopped talking to me like they used to, it was ok though." She said sounding hurt.

"So… do you want something to drink?" Lorelai asked changing the subject.

"Just water thanks." She replied.

"We have pop." Lorelai suggested.

"I don't drink pop, only coffee, water, and juice."

"Oh. I'll get your water then."

Lorelai walked into the kitchen thinking things over. Should I invite her to come live with us? What would Luke think? God, what about my parents? Rory? Where would she sleep? Maybe it would be best if she did live with us. Yeah, I should ask her if she wants to or not. Lorelai pulled a bottle of water out of the refrigerator, and went back to the living room.

Lorelai gave the bottle to Lynsey, who immediately started drinking the water, until the bottle was half-full.

"OK, this may sound like a crazy question… but, do you want to live with us?" Lorelai asked. Luke just gave her a small smile to tell her, it was ok. Lorelai sighed and turned her attention back to Lynsey.

"Sure, it'll be a lot better than living with Amelia."

"OK." Luke said.

"Where's your stuff?" Lorelai asked.

"At the umm… what's it called… the Dragonfly Inn, I think." Lynsey replied.

"That's the inn I own. Let's go get your stuff." Lorelai said standing and heading towards the door. Lynsey followed, and soon Luke heard Lorelai's Jeep start up and drive away. Luke had just learned that day, who the mystery woman was from all those years ago. That he had a long lost daughter, and that maybe his life couldn't get any better, or so he thought…
