" Lorelai. Oh my god. You're awake" Emily exclaimed with joy. " Richard, come here. She's awake. I'm so sorry, baby." She said hugging her daughter.
Lorelai was overwhelmed by her mother's words but suddenly a wave of panic came through her and her hand flew automatic to her stomach.
Emily saw panic in her daughter's eyes and understood immediately.
" The baby is fine. Listen."
Lorelai stopped for a minute. That was when she heard a strong second heartbeat.
" That's my baby ? " Lorelai asked getting emotional.
" That's my grandchild." Richard said approaching the bed.
" Dad." Lorelai said uncertain if Richard was still mad about the baby.
"Lorelai. I want you to listen to me. I'm sorry for what I said the other night and for all the other times I disappointed you. I want you to give me a chance to be a good father because despite what you might think I love you and I want to be in your life if you let me of course."
" Oh dad. Of course I want you and mom in my life. I always wanted. I just felt like i was never good enough. I was never the perfect daughter that you guys wanted. I got pregnant at sixteen, never finished high school, never went to yale. Anyway, the list is long. I guess ironically the only good thing I did was to give you Rory." Lorelai said smiling sadly.
" Lorelai, please, don't talk like that. " Her father said.
" It's just the truth." Lorelai said
" No. It's not. Do you want to know what is the truth ? The truth is that you are an amazing person with a great heart. You are independent and strong. You may have not gone to Yale but you managed to graduate and built your own inn. We' re so proud of you and I'm sorry for never telling you that." Her mother said starting to cry.
" Mom. It's okay." Lorelai said reaching out to her mother's hand.
" I was just so scared that something would happen to you or the baby. " Emily said caressing her cheek.
" I'm fine now. I promise. We're fine." Lorelai said putting her mother's hand on her stomach.
