A/N: I am a MAJOR JJ, so this mostly focuses on Luke and Lorelai. Please r/r!!!

Chapter 1~ Tell me you don't force him to eat that?

"Sookie!!!" Lorelai called as she let sookie's front door slam behind her.

"In here" Sookie half whispered "but be quite cause I just got Jake to go down for a nap and anyone who wakes him up gets the joy of dealing with him all afternoon!!!" she added sarcastically

"Oh come on Sook, who wouldn't want to spend time with Jake, he's one of the least terrible two year olds I have ever met" Lorelai said as she entered the kitchen

"have you ever had to spend time with him when he hasn't slept"

"no"

"well there's the problem right there" Sookie said, finally looking up from the chocolate she was stirring. "Well, I see you finally ditched the baggy skater boy clothes and are actually acknowledging the fact that you are pregnant" Sookie added, motioning to Lorelai's tight sweater and jeans.

"yeah, I though ya know, I'm gonna get fat no matter what, so I might as well be at peace with that early on"

"good motto, very..profound"

"yeah, well, at least I like to think so" Lorelai said with a laugh. "Ok can I ask a totally random question"

"shoot"

"why does you kitchen smell like chocolate, risotto, and coffee?"

"ah the pregnancy nose is already kicking in"

"hey I had a great sense of smell before too, but you never answered my question"

"well, chocolate for jackson's birthday cake, risotto for Jake's lunch, and coffee for me"

"so not fair, I want some"

"sorry, only decaf for you"

"ugh you sound like Luke" Lorelai said. "Please, just a little bit, a little bit won't hurt him.her.it.."

"you do realize that you are going to have to come up with a better name for the kid than him.her.it" Sookie said with a laugh.

"yeah well there aren't that many names that work for both a boy and a girl, and I don't think we are going to find out the sex of the baby"

"I'm sure you can think of a name" Sookie said "what do you want it do be"

"huh?"

"do you want a boy or a girl?"

"I don't know" Lorelai said "I haven't really thought about it"

"Yes you have" Sookie said "you are such a bad liar"

"Well, I don't know, at first I wanted a boy, because I already did the girl thing, but then I thought how great it was and how easy of a kid Rory was, and I compared my experience with Rory to Luke's experience with Jess, and girls came out on top"

"well do you know what Luke wants"

"well I think he wants a girl actually" Lorelai said, slightly surprised that she had just realized that

"really? he always seemed like the type to want boys, ya know to teach them sports and all that"

"Yeah, I think the whole 'if it is a boy I have to teach him things and be his role model' thing kind of freaks Luke out" Lorelai said, smiling at the thought of Luke with a baby.

"Ow, Ow, OW!!!" Sookie yelled, interrupting her train of thought

"whoa Sookie what happened?" said Lorelai rushing to get ice

"nothing, nothing, just burned my hand on the risotto, but I'm ok yea, I'm good"

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I'm fine"

"ok this my seem like a stupid question to ask a culinary genius like yourself." Lorelai began, "but are you really going to force your two year old to eat that?"

"what?" Sookie said, looking hurt

"Well, I mean, he's two.does he really like this stuff?"

"what do you mean? It's the magic risotto..of course he likes it!!!!!"

"Ok, Ok, forget I ever said that" Lorelai added, regretting that she had said anything in the first place. The last thing she needed was Sookie mad at her. She didn't have the time or the energy to spend time salvaging a friendship.

"mooooooooom" a whine came from upstairs *well speak of the devil, my little risotto eating friend is awake* Lorelai thought

"Oh shoot, I had just got the chocolate going, Lorelai, will you watch the chocolate while I go get Jake? Just keep stirring it" Sookie said, rushing out of the room with her chocolate stained apron trailing behind her.

"Hey Sook, you stay here with the chocolate, and I'll go get Jake" Lorelai said, walking out of the kitchen "Hey little man" she said, poking her head into the little boy's room

"Where mommy?" he asked

"She's making risotto for you for lunch downstairs" Lorelai said with a smile

Jake made a face "eww"

"Shhh, don't say that too loud or your mom might hear you" Lorelai teased "I have an idea, how about we go get burgers at Luke's and let your mom have some time by herself" Lorelai said, thinking that she and Luke should probably spend some time with Jake, just to practice for when their baby came

"Yeah!" Jake said, standing up in his crib

Lorelai scooped up the little boy, changed his diaper and clothes, and then carried him downstairs "Sookie, I'm gonna take Jake to get a burger at Luke's okay?"

"but the risotto." Sookie trailed off "Fine, bring him back when he starts annoying you"

"Okay" Lorelai said, heading out the door towards Luke's
