Notes: Okay people, thank you for all the responses I got from the last story I wrote. I would like to point out that I know I can't spell, and, I would also like to thank the gracious person that pointed that obvious fact out. THANK YOU. I would like to tell everybody that this story might last a while so hold on for the ride. I would like to point out that Luke is excited about becoming a father, he was just stunned and still thinking level-headedly about things. *snicker* The full gravity of the situation will hit him, then that will leave you rolling. I hope people like this…. Umm… lets see, ummmm school sucks so Let the Festivities begin.

That Night.
They sat together on the couch, Lorelai sitting between Luke's legs and with her back against her chest. His hands held her around the waist, her hands were over his. They lay there comfortably together, yet again the television was on to one of Lorelai's favorite channels. The remote lay on the coffee table, unattended by either. "I'm hungry." Lorelai said.
"I would have never guessed with the way your stomach is carrying on. I should have figured since your feeding two you would never stop eating." Luke replied jokingly.
"I know, I know, I have heard you bash my eating habits forever, and I probably will for the rest of my life and after life." she said, shifting her positions.
Luke held her there, not letting her move an inch. "Your not going anywhere." Luke said.
He kissed her neck, she leaned back against him, loving being there with him. "I can't believe that we are going to have a baby." Lorelai said.
" I know what you mean, but it was inevitable. You know you have to tell everybody else soon before you start to show." He replied.
" I know, I know. I will tell Rory when she gets home from school. Then, since she has to still go to Friday night dinners I might as well go with her to break the great news." she replied logically, " But right now we are hungry and I am going to feed us." she said pulling away from him and walking to the kitchen.
Luke sighed but got up and followed her into the kitchen. He walked over to her. Placing his hands on her shoulders, " I'll make you something. What do you want?" he asked starting around the kitchen.
" Ummm.." Lorelai said as she sat down at the table. She looked down at her stomach and said, " What do you want? I don't want to have to decide by myself."
Luke turned around to look at her. He gave her a funny look then asked, " Do want a cheeseburger, fish sticks, or something healthy for a change?"
Lorelai looked deep in thought for a moment or two, then she looked back down at her stomach and said, " Baby, do you want healthy food? Which mommy thinks will be bad, or do you want a good cheeseburger? Which mommy says is a very good thing, but it is all up to you." at the mention of a cheeseburger her stomach growled rather loudly.
Luke shook his head knowing that Lorelai was going to request a cheeseburger. As he started to pull out a frying pan. She noticed his move for the pan and again looking at her stomach she said, " Daddy became psychic. He can read our minds now."
She looked up at Luke who stood there with one hand on the frying pan he had just placed on the stove, and in the other he held a spatula. "Lorelai, you are going to make our child a psychopath before it is born. Stop." he told her in an exaggerated manner.
She looked stunned as her mouth fell open in mock shock. She returned her gaze to her stomach " Daddy thinks I am going to make you insane. We can't let that happen so I will try to make sense when talking to you. Okay?" her stomach growled, " You agree and your hungry," she returned her gaze back to Luke, " We're hungry get on the burger." she finished looking at him pointedly.
He took his hand off of the frying pan and held up his hands in surrender, " Okay, Okay. I am on it, hold your horses you two." he told her turning to make the food.
"Two? I haven't been here to request my order." Rory said from the hall behind them.
Lorelai whirled around and looked at Rory as if she were a deer caught in a headlight. Luke had also turned to look at who had spoken. Each looked guilty of something which neither appeared to be saying. Rory looked speculatively at her mom and step-dad. Raising an eyebrow she asked, "What is going on?"
Lorelai looked at Luke questioningly. As if to ask whether or not to tell Rory. Luke just nodded telling her silently that she had to sooner or later and better sooner than later. "Umm…. Sweetheart. I really don't know how to tell you this," she looked at Luke for support he came over to sit next to her at the table and held her hands, "Ummm…. I'm pregnant." she finished with a small smile.
Rory looked at her in shock. She had been bracing herself for some horrible news, but she was going to have a little brother or sister. Slowly a smile broke across her face. She rushed over to hug her mother. " I am so happy for you guys."
Lorelai's smile grew, now that she had told her daughter a large weight had been lifted off her shoulders, one that she didn't know was there. Luke also looked happier.
"Your okay with this?" Lorelai asked.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I be? This is great. I am going to be a big sister." Rory said in a happy mood.
Lorelai felt relief to say the least. Then looking at Luke she said, " We're hungry. Burger. Chop Chop."
He sighed as he got up and went back to the stove to fix the cheeseburger.
The next day
Luke had just gotten up as Lorelai stirred. She could swear she was acquiring his sleeping habits. She rolled over to look at him as he sat on the edge of the bed trying to wake up. He looked at her after hearing her yawn rather loudly. "Morning." he said as he got up and retreated into the bathroom.
Lorelai rolled over again so she could try to resume sleep. After several fruitless attempts her nauseous ness got to her. She quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom, where she flung up the toilet seat. On her way there she had nearly plowed Luke down. After finishing she sat back on the floor and tried to relax. Slowly Luke peered into the room, finding that she was finished he opened the door to get her a wet washcloth.
She took it obligingly. She rinsed off her face and wiped her mouth. Putting the cloth on the edge of the bathtub she held out both of her hands. Luke took them and pulled her to her feet. He pulled her close and hugged her. After a few seconds she pulled out of his grasp and made her way to the sink. She brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth out. Once Lorelai had finished brushing her teeth she turned quickly and kissed Luke with an intense passion. She pressed him against the wall pinning him there. There passion quickly escalated to the point where Luke was thinking of taking the day off just to be with his wife.
They stood there several moments longer locked such a passionate embrace that they barely heard the doorbell. Beneath Lorelai, Luke groaned at the intrusion. Very, very reluctantly they pulled apart and straightened their clothing.
Luke headed to the door grabbing his big black bathrobe in route. Lorelai sighed and followed. Grabbing her pink fluffy robe with bright green smiley faces on it. She pulled it on then headed down the stairs to find none other than her mother standing the foyer…………

Okay I know that wasn't much of a chapter, and that wasn't much of an ending. But I am swamped with evil school and everything else, I am losing all of my time to the mountain of homework the torturers give me. I promise I will get the next chapter out in about a week, if I don't you can all flame me. Okay I am done with that how'd you like it tell me, I need input. *pssst* I would like to remind you that I know I can't spell.
