Previously on What About Now:

"Hi Luke," Lorelai said. A hint of shyness, sadness and anger in her voice but only a hint.

"Hey Lorelai."

"I think I we need to talk."

"Oh no," Luke thought, "Toni and Rory flashback. This can't be good."

Luke led Lorelai into his apartment.

TO BE CONT...

Lorelai walked into Luke's apartment. Lorelai sit down on the bed. She had the jitters. She had to tell him. But how?

"H-hey Luke," Lorelai said.

"Hey Lorelai."

"So..."

"I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you about April. I didn't know what I was thinking. It was new and my head was all messed up! I'm really sorry."

"It's okay. I wish that you would have told me about it but what is done is done. I can't do anything about that now."

"Lorelai, you have no idea how sorry I am. I just hope that this doesn't get between us. Please?"

"Of course this won't get between us! Especially under these circumstances."

"What circumstances," Luke asked.

"Well.. that's what I came here to talk to you about."

"Okay. Here sit down."

Lorelai sat down on the couch. She knew that telling him wouldn't be easy. But she had to get it out.

"I-I .. I'm pregnant." Lorelai finally said.

Luke just stared at her.

"Y-You're pregnant?"

"Yes..."

"It's mine?"

"Of course it's yours!"

Luke stared at her for a little longer. Then, he broke out into the biggest, goofiest smile that anyone has ever smiled.

"You're pregnant," Luke said.

Lorelai smiled a smile just as big as Luke's. Lorelai and Luke both stood up and hugged each other. They kissed lightly on the lips. They both walked arm and arm downstairs to the diner.

"Oh G-d. How am I going to tell my kids?" Lorelai said.

Meanwhile, Rory woke up and was sitting in the living room next to Toni.

"So this is how I think we should do this. We'll tell dad that I need help and he'll come over and help me with whatever I need help with," Toni said.

"Oh, how about you need help moving your bed. You know when he used to come over and re-arrange our rooms. When our beds were in the same spot for a REALLY long time and we got so bored of seeing our stuff in the same spot. It was always when we were out."

"I remember that. He still does that for me. You're just getting to old."

"Ya well..."

"Okay so I'll ask him to come over. We have to ask him to come over like 5 minutes before we know mom's going to get home. Then when mom gets home we have to say that I need her help in my room and then have to lock them in there. Then we're going to make them promise that they won't come out until they're made up. We're going to listen to what they say through the door so we know if they're lieing or not. Then we will get Luke to get April to come over so mom can formally meet her and so that we can meet her."

"It sounds like somone is jealous"

"I'm not jealous."

"Okay whatever you say..." Rory said.

"Okay back to my plan... We will meet April and hang out with her and stuff. Then hopefully mom will go back to normal and she won't force dad to sleep on the couch."

"How long did it take you to think of this?" Rory asked. Amazed by all of the detail that Toni put into this.

"A couple of days. But I think it's worth it."

"It's an amazing idea! Let's put it into action as soon as possible!"

"Tomorrow work good for you?"

"Tomorrow it is!"

xoxoxo

Lorelai stayed at Luke's for the rest of the day. She called to check on Toni and Rory and to tell them that she wouldn't be there for the rest of the day. At about 9pm, Luke closed the diner.

Luke and Lorelai had made a plan to tell Rory and Toni that night. Lorelai didn't think that they would be asleep yet.

Luke and Lorelai held hands the whole way to their house. Lorelai was suprised to find that both Toni and Rory were already asleep. She was also suprised to see that Toni was sleeping in Rory's room with her.

Lorelai wanted to tell them about her pregnancy tonight. Lorelai shook Toni awake. She knew that she would be the hardest to wake up and she wanted to get her over with first.

Toni skwirmed at first, not wanted to wake up. Finally, Toni woke up.

"I hate you." Toni said as she opened her eyes.

When she saw her mom and Luke both standing there she shot up. She turned around and shook Rory.

"Rory wake up now. You've got to see what I'm seeing. Wake up!" Toni said as she was trying to wake up Rory.

"Toni what is it?" Rory said as she opened her eyes. She looked past Toni and saw Lorelai and Luke standing there.

"Well now that you're both awake there's something I.. we need to tell you. Luke turn on the lights so I can see their faces." Lorelai said.

"NO! No don't! Please no!" Rory and Toni protested. But even though with all their protests, Luke stilled turned on the light.

"AHH!" Both Rory and Toni said. They both shut their eyes and threw the covers over their heads so the light wasn't so intense.

"Oh don't be wusses. Toughen up soldiers." Lorelai said.

Toni stuck her head up from under the covers. She squinted because she still wasn't used the light. She threw the covers off of Rory's head.

"HEY!" Rory said in aggrivation.

"If I have to suffer. You have to suffer along with me" Toni said.

Toni turned her attention to her mom and Luke.

"So what is it that you woke us up for?" Toni asked.

"Well Luke and I have very important news for you." Lorelai said.

"Good or bad news" Rory asked.

"Good. Definately good." Luke said.

"Okay keep going." Toni said.

"Well as you know Luke and I kind of head a rough patch. But we've talked it over and everything is good between us now." Lorelai said.

"Well there goes my plan, swirling down the drain." Toni said.

"What?" Lorelai asked, obviously confused.

"Nevermind. But that' amazing news!" Toni said.

"There's more." Lorelai said.

"More?" Rory exclaimed.

"Well, Luke and I have some more AMAZING news to tell you. As you know I haven't been myself lately."

"You can say that again." Toni said.

"Anyways... Only half of that was because of April. The other half was because... I'm pregnant." Lorelai finally got out.

Toni screamed and jumped out of bed and onto her mom.

"Well at least we know one of you is happy." Lorelai said.

"Happy is a major understatment. I'm ecstatic" Toni exclaimed.

"Rory?" Luke asked.

Rory responded by screaming and running up to hug Luke.

"Well I guess I'll take that as you're happy, too"

Lorelai smiled at the sight she was witnessing. Everyone smiling and laughing. She was so happy to know that everyone took it so well.

"Tomorrow, we're going baby shopping!" Toni exclaimed.

"Oh yes!" Rory answered.

"But it won't be coming out for another 8 and a half months. Plus, we don't even know the gender yet!" Lorelai exclaimed.

"So? We can get the necessities. Like a rocking chair, diapers, a changing table, baby dishes, bibs and all that kind of jazz." Rory said.

"Good point." Lorelai said.

"Wait," Toni said "Where's the baby going to sleep? We have no other rooms."

"Oh my. That's a problem." Luke said.

"We can think of that later. Now all I want to do is go to bed. I'm tired." Lorelai said.

"Okay. Goodnight mom. Goodnight dad." Toni said hugging and kissing both of them before hopping back into Rory's bed.

Rory hugged and kissed them both and then went back to sleep.

Lorelai and Luke both went upstairs to their room. They both changed into their pajamas. They both settled down to have the best night sleep that they would have had in a long time.
