The Clinic

Summary: What if Lorelai Gilmore had a younger sister? What if she became pregnant? How will Richard and Emily take it?

A/N: I own none of the characters except for Lydia, and a couple of other characters that will be created later in the story. The Gilmore regulars belong to the lucky people at the WB.

Characters in this story: Lorelai Gilmore, 34, Rory Gilmore, 18, Richard Gilmore, 55, Emily Gilmore, 54, Lydia Gilmore, 17, Sam Huntington, 16, and Matt Kemper, 17. (I have changed the ages, to fit better)

Lorelai took Lydia to the clinic in Stars Hollow the next day. Because everyone knows if she goes anywhere in Hartford like that, her parents would know within an hour or so.

Lorelai: Are ya ready babe?

Lydia: Yeah, hold on, I'm tying my shoes. K, I'm ready now.

Lorelai: Rory, we're going to the clinic now.

Rory: Yeah. (still upset at her aunt and mother)

Lorelai: Let's go Lyd. We can't put this off any longer.

Lydia: I know. Let's go now.

**15 minutes later at the clinic***

Nurse: Lydia Gilmore, the doctor will see you now.

Lydia: Okay.

Lorelai: Lyd, do you want me to go in with you, or do you want me to stay out here.

Lydia: You can come in if ya want to.

Lorelai: Okay, I will. For support, ya know.

Nurse: Yes, that will be fine with us. As long as you are family.

Lydia: Oh yeah, she's family. She's my sister. Can't you tell? We look like twins.

Nurse: Yep. I could have guessed that.

Lydia: Well, let's go get this over with Lor.

Lorelai: Let's just hope for the best, k sweetie?

Lydia: Yeah. I am trying to have a positive feeling about this.

** The doctor is young looking, maybe about 30 or so**

Dr. Pratt: Hello. Lydia Gilmore?

Lydia: Yeah, that's me.

Dr. Pratt: And who are you? Her sister?

Lorelai: As a matter of fact, I am her sister.

Dr. Pratt: Well, okay then.

Lydia: Enough with the flirting. Let's just get this pregnancy test done, and see what is going on.

Dr. Pratt: Yeah. Right. I am going to do an ultrasound first, to see if I see anything.

Lydia: Okay.

Dr. Pratt: This will be a little cold.

Lydia: Okay. I am ready.

Dr. Pratt: (turns on ultrasound machine) and here, we have a little heartbeat.

Lydia: (starts to cry) Oh my God. It's true. I am pregnant. I can't believe it. What have I done to the Gilmore name? I have shamed my parents, AGAIN.

Lorelai: Okay honey, come here. Everything will be fine. It's going to be okay.

Dr. Pratt: Okay, Lydia. I need you to calm down and answer me a few questions so I can put them in to the computer. Approximately, when was this baby conceived?

Lydia: I am pretty sure it was October 3rd. That was my first time I had ever had sex. And I know who the father is.

Dr. Pratt: Yes, let's see. That gives me the due date of June 26th, 2003.

Lydia: Oh my God, Lor, that's mom's birthday! That just makes it so much worse!

Lorelai: Oh my, that is her birthday.

Dr. Pratt: Lydia, I need the full name of the father.

Lydia: Yeah, okay, his name is Matthew David Kemper.

Dr. Pratt: And when is his birthday?

Lydia: I believe he said it was November 12th, 1984.

Dr Pratt: And yours?

Lydia: January 16th, 1985.

Dr. Pratt: Well, that's all I have for today. You are about four weeks pregnant. Here is a picture of you little peanut.

Lydia: Yeah, thanks. Hey, Lor?

Lorelai: Yeah?

Lydia: Could you keep this at your house. Ya know, so mom and dad don't find it.

Lorelai: Yeah, sure, no problem.

Lydia: Thanks a lot Lor. I really appreciate it. I'm gonna call mom and dad and tell them that I am going to stay in Stars Hollow tonight. Is that okay?

Lorelai: Yeah, that's fine. Don't worry about it.

Lydia stayed at Rory and Lorelai's until Monday. She rode the bus with a still upset Rory that morning.

Lydia: Rory, I'm sorry.

Rory: Sorry about what?

Lydia: Come on Rory, you know, about the baby.

Rory: Oh yeah, that. You are forgiven.

Lydia: That didn't sound very sincere to me at all.

Rory: Look Lydia. I am not happy about what you did. But I have to be supportive because if I was bashing you, it would be like I am bashing the choice my mom made. So I am not mad at you really. I was just initially shocked, that's all.

Lydia: Really, Rory, Really?

Rory: Yeah, you have my blessing.

Lydia: Thank you. Now I have to find a way to tell mom and dad.

Rory: Yeah, that is going to be tough.

R & R please! Give me ideas! I need some ideas on how Lydia is going to tell her parents. Also, give me thoughts about Matt. How is he going to react?
