A few days later Lorelai and Luke are deciding how to tell Rory the
news.
They are in Luke's apartment.
Luke: How are we going to tell her?
Lorelai: Well maybe we could take her out for dinner, ask her how'd she feel about a big change and see if she catches on.
Luke: Or maybe we could let her "over hear" us talking.
Lorelai: I could ask her how'd she feel if she were a big sister.
Luke: Have her listen to the answering machine that has a message from the doctor.
Lorelai: Ooh you gave me an idea.
Luke: What?
Lorelai: What if I tell her I have a doctor's appointment and she will be on her own Tuesday afternoon. If she asks with who, I'd say a doctor. But then you call ask her if she'd take orders at the diner, because you have to go to the doctors. When you say the same time, date and place as me, maybe she'll catch on.
Luke: That's crazy enough to work.
Lorelai: really?
Luke: No. But still a good suggestion
Lorelai: Fine. Think you can do better. What do you want to do?
Luke: Go with your first idea. It's simple and easy to make arrangements for.
Lorelai: well, at least it's one of my ideas! Luke shakes his head and laughs. Lorelai just gives him a look.
* * * * * THAT NIGHT AT THE RESTAURANT
Luke: So Rory, how was your day?
Rory: Oh, it was fun. Lane and I went to see a movie, and then I helped her smuggle some new CD's.
Luke: Sounds like fun
Rory: It was. So what did you two do all day?
Lorelai: Not much. I didn't go into work so I hung around the diner most of the day.
Luke: My day was the same as always. Well, sort of
Lorelai: Soon your days will be very different. All of ours will.
As Lorelai said this she looked intently at Rory, hoping she would get it.
Rory: What do you mean? I know you two are together now, but.. Oh my god! You're engaged!
Lorelai/Luke: NO!
Lorelai: Not exactly, see Rory, your, I'm, Luke and I, well, we..
Luke: Rory, your mother is, well
Lorelai: Pregnant. I'm pregnant Rory.
Rory was speechless. Her jaw dropped as she looked between her mother and Luke, trying to regain her voice.
Lorelai: Sweetie, say something
Luke: Anything. How do you feel about this? We want you to be completely honest.
Rory: I just. Wow. I don't know what to say
Lorelai: Tell us how you feel.
Rory: I'm shocked. I'm happy but I'm shocked. Wow.
Luke: So you're ok with this?
Lorelai: You're not mad?
Rory: No I'm happy. I really am. Wow, I'm gonna have a little brother or sister.
Lorelai: I know just imagine, this time next year, I'll have a second child.
Luke: And I'll have my first.
Luke took Lorelai's hand and smiled.
Luke: Think we'll make good parents together. You're already a good mom. But you think I'll be a good dad?
Lorelai: You'll be a great dad. And you Rory, will be a great big sister.
Rory: I agree with mom. Oh, are you going to tell Grandma and Grandpa any time soon? I just want to know if I should avoid the subject at dinner next Friday.
Lorelai: No, Luke and I are going too probably tell them sometime when it's just the two of us. Does that sound ok Luke?
Luke: Whatever you want. I'll be there or I won't, whatever will be most comfortable for you.
Lorelai: Isn't he just the sweetest little thing?
As Lorelai said this she playfully pinched his cheek. Soon their food came and they looked like a family, talking, laughing and having fun.
Luke: How are we going to tell her?
Lorelai: Well maybe we could take her out for dinner, ask her how'd she feel about a big change and see if she catches on.
