"I took five...and they were all positive."
"Oh Alex." Lorelai says sadly.
"I know, you hate me and I'm a horrible daughter. You should send me away to one of those special schools that deal with kids like me."
"Sweetie first things first is you need to calm down."
"Calm down? Mom I can't calm down! I just took five pregnancy tests and they were all positive!"
Lorelai grabs her arm and pulls her to the car so that they are in a more private area.
"I know how scared you are right now, trust me, if there's anyone that knows its me. But yellling and freaking out is not going to help. Right now we'll go to the doctor, then what do you say you and I go out to lunch and talk?"
Alex takes a couple of deep breaths, wipes her eyes and smiles a little. "Okay."
They get into the jeep and drive to the doctor's office. Once they are there, Alex gets admitted about 45 minutes later. They decided to wait the 2 hours for the test results. The doctor came back in and confirmed that Alex is one month pregnant and the baby is healthy.
Lorelai and Alex both walk back to the car looking like zombies. As Lorelai starts the engine she looks over to her 16 year old daughter and just sees a very scared little girl.
"Don't worry baby, it'll be okay."
Alex sniffles. "I'm scared."
"Its a scary thing. We'll have lunch and talk about this some more." They arrive at a small restaurant in Hartford about 15 minutes away from the pharmacy. After placing their order, Lorelai decides to break the ice.
"So, you want to tell me how this happened?"
"About three weeks ago Kevin and I were at his house after school and he brought me flowers and told me he loved me for the first time. Then I said it back...and the next thing I know, we are kissing and then we just had sex..it just happened. That was my first time I swear. Then last week he broke up with me at school, for no reason. I tried to to talk him about it, and I told him that you don't just say I love you to a person one minute and then the next, just break up with them. It doesn't make sense."
"Did he give you a reason?"
"No, he just said, I don't want to be together anymore then he walked away. How am I supposed to tell him that I'm pregnant?"
"Unfortunately that's something you need to figure out on your own. However, you do need to tell him. Sooner rather than later. He is the father, he deserves to know."
"I know. But how? how did you tell dad you were pregnant when you were 18?"
"I can't tell you how, everyone has their own way of telling the other person. All I can tell you is that it won't be easy."
Alex just nods. Their food comes a couple minutes later.
"Mom, how do you think dad is going to react?"
"Not as calm as I am that's for sure. I'll call Rory and Sooke and have them take your brothers and sisters out for some ice cream or something, so that when your dad's head explodes they won't be there to witness it."
"Yeah..good idea."
"Now eat up and enjoy because this is the last meal you will be having outside the house for a long time."
Alex smiles. "Grounded huh?"
"Oh yeah, big time. All summer."
"The whole summer? Come on mom, thats not fair."
"Its either that, or wait until you talk to your dad and have him punish you."
"All summer sounds perfect."
Lorelai laughs. "I thought so."
