Luke and Lorelai are just sitting up in bed.

Lorelai: Wow

Luke: Wow is an understatement.

Lorelai: Do you think the roads are clear yet?

Luke: I'd hope so. It's been what (looks at clock) one and a half, two hours. Lorelai giggles

Lorelai: Really? Luke leans over and kisses her

Luke: Really

Lorelai: We're pretty good. Luke just smiles as he glances outside. He sees Rory and Lane walking up the drive- way.

Luke: Lorelai, um look outside.

Lorelai glances outside and curses under her breath. Both Luke and Lorelai jump, up throw their cloths back on and run downstairs. They sit at the kitchen table and nervously wait. Lorelai glances at the calendar and freaks when she sees a special sticker on the day befores date.

Lorelai: Uh, Luke we have a problem. As she finishes this statement, Rory and Lane walk in the kitchen door.

Rory: What problem do we have?

Lorelai: We'll I don't know about you, but my problem is a nosy daughter who has voices in her head.

Rory: Sorry. Minding my business.

Lorelai: It's ok. Why don't you two go into Rory's room, listen to some music. I'll bring you in some hot chocolate and cookies.

Rory: Sounds great.

Lane: Sure Rory and Lane go into Rory's room, and Lorelai hears music start a few minutes later.

Lorelai: Look at the calendar.

Luke: ok (looks at calendar)

Lorelai: See that pretty sticker on yesterday's date?

Luke: Ya.

Lorelai: Well that represents a very special pill that I was supposed to take.

Luke: You don't mean the..

Lorelai: ya. Birth control After saying this, she stands and puts water in the kettle and puts it on the stove.

Luke: You don't think.it's possible...you're (in a small, squkey voice) pregnant?

Lorelai: I don't know. Getting pregnant easily runs in my family. And I was using protection when I got pregnant with Rory, so who knows.

Luke: That runs in my family to. So when will we know?

Lorelai: Next week.

Luke: That means..that means

Lorelai: ya there's an even greater chance. They fall silent as the kettle begins to whistle. Lorelai makes the cocoa and Luke gets up and arranges some cookies on a plate. Then they bring the snack to the girls.

Rory: mmm. Thanks

Lane: Ya thanks Neither Lorelai nor Luke says anything. Both Rory and Lane find it unusual.

Rory: Is everything ok mom?

Lorelai: ya. Just fine and dandy. Lorlai looks as though she might cry, and runs from the room.

Rory: Is she ok Luke?

Luke: she'll be ok. I'll go calm her down.

Rory: Let me know if you need my help. Luke smiles

Luke: Don't worry I think I can handle this. With that, Luke turns and goes after Lorelai, closing the door tightly behind him. In the living room, Lorelai is crying. Luke sits next to her and takes her in his arms.

Luke: Don't cry. If you are pregnant, I'll be here for you and our baby.

Lorelai: You won't run away to California or some other far-away state? Luke pulls away and looks her in her eyes.

Luke: Of course not. Why'd I do something like that? Plus we don't even know if you are pregnant yet.

Lorelai: I have a feeling Luke, like something is telling me I am pregnant.

Luke: Don't worry about it. Like I said, if you are I'll be there for you.

Lorelai: You promise? Luke: I promise.

Lorelai: Good because I don't know if I could handle having to raise another one by myself. I'm not as strong as I pretend to be you know.

Luke holds Lorelai again and they sit there with each other for a while. Later, when Rory comes out, she walks Lane to the door then enters the living room.

Rory: Whats going on? (Says in a worried voice) Lorelai shakes her head, telling Luke not to say anything.

Luke: Don't worry, your mom's just not feeling good. Hey could you do me a big favor and run down to Doose's and get a pint of ice cream for your mom?

Rory: ok

Luke: thanks (Luke, somehow manages get his wallet from his back pocket, and hands Rory a ten) You can get some for you too, if you want.

Rory: don't worry Luke I've got money on me.

Luke: No, take it

Rory: ok (reluctantly takes the money.) Rory grabs her coat and leaves.

Lorelai: Thanks Luke. Hey could you make me some coffee?

Luke: I'm sorry. But no, see if you are pregnant, the caffeine is bad for the baby.

Lorelai: But it wouldn't be much of a baby, we only did it about an hour ago!

Luke: Ok, but only one cup and that's it for today. And if you are pregnant, only one small cup a day from now until the baby is born.

Lorelai: I'd argue but I'm not really in that mood right now, so I'll get back to you. Luke smiles, and goes to make Lorelai her coffee. He also leaves another cup for

Rory when she gets back. A little later Rory is back and hands Lorelai her ice cream. She also has one for herself. All three sit on the couch. Lorelai and Rory eating ice cream and drinking their coffee, Lorelai being held by Luke. As they watch TV Lorelai falls asleep in Luke's arms and

Rory wonders what could be going on.
