A/N: Heyy everyone, just wanted to say thanks for all the reviews that I've been getting for this story so far! I really appreciate everyone's opinions. Anyway, on with the story.
The family doctor was nice enough to make a special house call later that day and prescribed medicine for all the kids, told them to get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids, and then he was off.
Once everything finally settles down, its around three in the afternoon, Lorelai is cleaning up while the youngest kids are asleep and the older kids are out and around having fun. Alex starts following her mom around.
"Hey..uh mom..could I talk to you for a minute?"
"Gabby left?"
"Yeah, she has stuff to do tonight. So..could I?"
"If you can talk while I clean, go for it." Lorelai says, still moving around quickly, cleaning everything.
"Well..you see, Ashley and Heather called me," Lorelai stops moving and waits for Alex to continue. "..and well...they said there's this party tonight and I was wondering if I could go."
"To a party?"
"Yes."
"While you are pregnant?"
"Yes."
"No."
"Come on mom."
"No way Alex, you are grounded. Remember?"
Lorelai starts moving around the house again, Alex follows. "But if you think about it, its really not fair to ground me for being pregnant."
"I didn't ground you because you are pregnant."
Alex looks confused. "Then why am I grounded?"
"Because you snuck out of the house and slept with your boyfriend, that's why."
"But this could be the last party I get to go to before everyone finds out I'm pregnant."
"Well you should have thought about that before jumping into bed with a guy."
"So is that a no?"
Lorelai puts the laundry basket down on the edge of the couch and sighs heavily. She decides to put Alex through a little test. "Alright. I won't say no, but I'm not saying yes either. Your an adult now, you are going to have a baby. Its time you act responsibly and make your own decisions. So if you think its a good idea to risk yourself and the baby by going to a party where god knows what is going on, than go ahead, I won't stop you."
"Really? Oh thanks mom!"
"Not so fast, you need to think about this. Make the right choice."
"Alright, I'll think about it." Alex agrees and beings walking up the stairs with a big, exicted smile on her face but halts at the sound of her mother's voice.
"Oh, Alexandra, one other thing, you have to get your father's approval as well."
"Crap, crap, crap..."Alex mumbles all the way upstairs, knowing there's no way in hell she's going to that party.
Lorelai shakes her head and laughs. "Nice try though sweetie." Lorelai calls up to her.
