I'd like to say I'm sorry for any errors in spelling or grammar, I didn't have a beta for this chapter. I did re-check it but may not have fixed all errors, I'm only human.

Ch20 – A Family Matter

"You feeling okay?" Luke asked as Lorelai turned of the bathroom light and came back to bed.

"It's called morning sickness be it's past eleven," Lorelai said climbing under the covers.

"Is there anything I can do?" Luke asked putting his arm around her.

"Take all the coffee out of the kitchen in the morning," Lorelai said.

"Why?" Luke asked surprised.

"Your offspring is making all that I love and hold dear repulsive to me, first it was the Chili Fries at Al's Pancake World and now it's your coffee," Lorelai said with a sad face.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Luke said kissing Lorelai on the forehead.

"I can barely stand the generic instant de-café I bought, but I have to load the cup with cream and sugar to stomach it so it's barely worth the trouble," Lorelai complained further.

"It will be worth it in the end," Luke said putting his hands over Lorelai stomach on top of the covers.

"Yeah, sure," Lorelai said less than convinced, "So your ready for the pre-graduation party tomorrow night?" she asked, changing the topic.

"Why wouldn't I be? I'm not the one graduating," Luke said.

"You know what I mean," Lorelai said playing with his hand.

"I'm a big boy…" Luke began to say.

"Don't I know it," Lorelai said in a dirty tone.

"… I can handle meeting Christopher," Luke added.

"You know you don't have to come, it's just a few drinks with people I don't know," Lorelai said.

"I want to be there with you and Rory and your parents will just need to get used to us together, we're about to start a new family," Luke said stroking Lorelai's arm, "Besides you had my suit cleaned and bought me a new tie," Luke added.

"I thought it was time for a new one," Lorelai said.

There was a short pause before Luke spoke, "We'll need to talk to them about… developments," he said looking at Lorelai.

"Next week after Rory's graduation," Lorelai said,

"And that's in until the second trimester," Luke added.

"Apart from Sookie," Lorelai said with a smile.

"Lorelai!" Luke said not really surprise.

"She called you a flannel stud, by the way," Lorelai joked.

"Geez," Luke said in his trademark tone as he moved down in the bed, "I need to get some sleep," he said kissing Lorelai good night.

"You'll have to get used to 3am feedings in a few months mister," she reminded him, running her hand through Luke's hair.

"So we should get some rest now," Luke said dryly as he spooned Lorelai with one hand over her waist.

----

"I can't believe he asked her," Luke said still in shock. He had known about the pending proposal but never thought he would do it in such a public place.

"I know Hon," Lorelai said squeezing Luke's hand as they walked to the car.

"How is she?" Luke asked looking across to Lorelai.

"She doesn't know what to do, an I can't help her. I mean I want to but this is something only Rory can decide for herself," Lorelai said still concerned over the events of the evening.

"So what now?" Luke asked.

"We wait I guess… I don't know if we can tell them about our big news, not yet," Lorelai said getting her keys out as they approached the Jeep.

"That might be best, for now," Luke said as Lorelai passed him the keys.

"Here you drive, between this and the baby I'm not feeling great," Lorelai said.

"Morning sickness again?" Luke asked.

"I don't know, I just have a lot on my mind ring now Hon," Lorelai said getting in as Luke opened the door.

-----

Lorelai, Luke, Emily and Richard approach the presentation area for Rory's graduation.

"So she's said nothing?" Emily asked still concerned that Rory had not given her answer to Logan.

"No mum, she's still mulling it over," Lorelai said her arm linked in Luke's.

"Mulling it over?" Emily repeated.

"Yes," Lorelai said turning to Luke to give him a look.

"But can't you say something to her?" Emily asked.

"So was Chris meeting us here?" Luke asked trying to change the topic.

"Yes how is Christopher taking the news, had he talked to Rory?" Emily asked.

"I know he called but I don't know how much they talked," Lorelai said giving Luke a dirty look for bringing Chris into the conversation.

"Here we go," Richard said leading them to an empty row of seats.

"Thank you Richard," Emily said before turning back to Lorelai as they began taking their seats, "Did she try on the ring?"

"I have no idea Mom," Lorelai responded.

"I can't believe you have no idea what she's going to do. I mean aren't you two 'bosom buddies' isn't the sharing of intimate information your thing?" Emily commented.

"Mom our thing right now is letting Rory make her own decisions," Lorelai said wanting her mother to drop it.

"Luke I know Rory looks up to you…" Emily started to ask.

Lorelai cut in, "Mom don't bring Luke into this but we're letting her make her own decision," Lorelai said.

Emily did stop, "But you must have at least…"

"Emily can we focus on the ceremony?" Richard said cutting his wife off.

A short time later the ceremony was underway, the announcer would soon be calling out the name they had came to hear.

"Are you two ready for this?" Lorelai said looking her parents.

They simply nodded in response not looking away from the stage as they keep watch for their grand daughter.

"What about you two?" Lorelai asked.

"I'm getting the bumper stickers printed Monday," Chris said in his usual joking manner.

"I guess it won't be long before April's up there," Luke added already starting to get emotional at the thought.

They continued to watch and it wasn't long before Paris then Rory were on stage collecting their diplomas.

Lorelai almost crying as she stood to clap, "Yay, Rory!" Lorelai called. Rory turned to see her family standing and applauding.

About thirty minutes later they were gathered nearby under a tree taking photos.

Luke stood by as the girls stood next to Richard and Emily and Chris took a photo. Handing the camera to Luke they shared in the photographic duties.

"All right what other combinations haven't we done?" Emily asked.

"Um, duh. Me, mom, and dad," Rory said to the dismay of Emily.

"Duh? That's our Yale graduate," She joked.

"She meant Doy," Lorelai added.

Richard to the photo, "All right. Everybody, everybody say..."

They protested as a group before Richard got the shot.

"Luke your turn," Rory called.

"You don't have to," Luke said shyly.

"Luke I want a picture of the three of us," Rory said insisting.

Luke did so and Richard took the photo before as familiar face was spotted by Rory, "I'll be right back," she told her mother before going off to speak with Logan.

"Oh, Richard, Emily, can I get one with you guys?" Chris called, Lorelai standing next to Luke as he took the shot.

"So do you think this is it?" Luke asked.

Lorelai nodding, "Maybe, I remember that look, I've seen it in the mirror a few times before," Lorelai said as Luke put his arm around Lorelai.

Luke knew the look in Lorelai's eyes, "So not time to rent a tux and start planning for grandchildren yet?" Luke joked.

"Maybe not," Lorelai said looking at the body language of Logan and Rory as they talked, "besides we have enough to think about already before someone starts calling me grandma," Lorelai said touching her belly.

This did no go unnoticed by Emily, who dropped her Champagne glass as she realsied what was going on, "Your pregnant!" she called, getting the attention of Richard and Chris.

Lorelai knew it was no use hiding the fact, she smiled back at her mother, "Yes and we are very happy," Lorelai said giving Luke a tender kiss.

"Well congratulations," Richard said approaching the happy couple.

"Thanks daddy," Lorelai said is a quite voice.

"How far are you along are you?" Emily asked.

"About a month, we only found out last week," Lorelai replied as Emily surprised Lorelai by leaning in for a hug.

Chris stood back silently before finally speaking up, "Well congrats Luke," he said reaching to shake his hand.

"Does Rory know?" Emily asked.

Lorelai nodding as her daughter came back looking a little upset.

"Hon," Lorelai said taking Rory into her arms.

Rory sobbed for a moment before mumbling, "Can we go home?" she asked.

"Sure, anything you want," Lorelai said looking to her parents, "We'll see you later," Lorelai told her parents.

Luke gathers their belongings as followed the girls to the car.

----

"She'll be okay," Luke said getting ready for bed.

"This hit her hard, why did Logan have to propose!" Lorelai said still mad at how it had ended.

"I can't answer that but seeing them over the last few month I have no doubt he loves her. Maybe some time apart will do them good?" Luke said.

"Maybe," Lorelai said.

"I seem to remember it helping us," Luke joked.

"That makes me feel much better," Lorelai said dryly.

Luke replied taking off his watch as he got into bed.

"I just wish she could have spent the night, watch some reality TV to mock, eat loads of junk food and fall asleep on the couch.

"Rory said she wanted some time alone," Luke reminded kissing Lorelai on her fore head as she snuggled into his arms, "Besides she said she wanted to do some more packing before we go over there tomorrow and move the rest of her stuff back home."

"Thanks again for doing that," Lorelai said kissing Luke on his chest.

"It's nothing," Luke said as the room went quite for a few moments, "Sorry they found out like that," Luke added knowing Lorelai was also thinking about the other new to break that day.

"Yeah that didn't exactly go as planned," Lorelai responded dryly.

"Could have been worse, Kirk could have told them," Luke joked with a smile.

"They took it better than I thought they would," Lorelai admitted.

"We'll they know I'm gonna make an honest woman out of you this time," Luke joked again pulling Lorelai closer.

Lorelai kissed Luke slowly on the lips as she turned he tried to pull Lorelai on top of him, "What are you doing?" Lorelai asked.

"I thought we were… or are these pregnancy mood swings again?" Luke responded confused.

"Yes I want to make sweet love with you," she said in a joking tone, "But I want you on top, I miss that," Lorelai said as they settled next to each other in the bed.

"I told you I don't want to hurt you or the baby," Luke said.

"Luke it's just a bunch of cells right now, no bigger than a pea. We'll be fine," Lorelai said looking over to Luke with her bedroom eyes.

"Are you sure?" Luke asked again moving onto his side?

"Yes Luke, now get your pants off I want sex and I want it now!" Lorelai said in a more serious tone.

"We'll anything to please you," Luke joked back as he lifted his hips to slip off his pants before sitting back up.

"Now that's more like it!" Lorelai giggled as Luke removed his t-shirt.

Luke reached across to the nightstand opening the draw.

"What are you doing?" Lorelai asked.

Luke pulled out a condom, "I just thought," he said with hesitation.

"Luke you already knocked me up," she joked.

"But I don't want to hurt it," he said.

"Luke it's okay you can't hurt the baby no matter how well endowed you are," Lorelai said with a smile.

Luke smiled back giving Lorelai a quick peck before tossing the protection to the nightstand, "I didn't want to put an eye out or something," Luke joke.

"Luke it might be time you read some of the baby books Sookie gave me," Lorelai said as Luke moved to sit between her legs.

"I'll start tomorrow," Luke said with a grin "So we'll take this slow then," he added.

Lorelai knew Luke's next move, given the number of time there were in this very position. She liked knowing what Luke was thinking as he helped her take off the boy-cut panties she was wearing. Luke lay down on his side between her legs, at an angle.

Luke began massaging her mound, moving his fingers over the soft skin that was growing moist with anticipation. Luke slowly slipped one finger inside as his thumb rubbed the strip of hair Lorelai still kept trimmed.

Lorelai grinned at first, looking at Luke as she felt him touch her insides, as she began to moan Lorelai tossed her head back and reached for the bed head as Luke's lips joined the party. Luke could have made Lorelai come with just his fingers but he wanted more, he wanted to be inside Lorelai as she came, to look into her eyes as they shared the moment.

Luke worked his way up Lorelai's body, kissing her pale skin as he went. Luke noticed her nipples were more sensitive and her breast had grown slightly with the pregnancy, he kissed his way from one freckle to another as he across her chest.

Luke finally looked at Lorelai, face to face, "Now tell me if this is too much," he said, positioned himself at her entrance.

"You're never too much for me Lucas," Lorelai said with a sly smile eager to feel him inside her.

Luke slipped inside slowly, cautious to not hurt Lorelai as she wrapped her legs around his back, they gasped for air with the connection as Lorelai pulled him in closer, she had amazing strength.

Pushing his pelvis down, the base of his length grinding against her clit, providing Lorelai with the added stimulation she craved from Luke's thrusts.

As Luke moved slowly inside Lorelai, they kisses each other, slowly and caring, they moved from face to neck and chest as they took their time being this close to each other. Luke sucked on Lorelai breast teasing the nipple as Lorelai ran her hands through his hair.

"Oh God!" Lorelai cried out as her climax began to shake her entire body.

Luke changing his angle slightly as he lifted himself up to get a better look at Lorelai's face, "Are you ready?" he said feeling his own orgasm coming. He kept moving as he felt Lorelai tighten around him, squeezing out every moment before collapsing on Lorelai as her legs relaxed their grip Lorelai wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

Luke rested a moment before realizing where he was, "Sorry," Luke said trying to get up.

"Where are you going," Lorelai asked holding him tight.

"I don't want to crush you," Luke said still trying to lift his weight.

"You're not," Lorelai said with a smile.

Luke eased back down as they basked in the moment.
