It was lunchtime, and the baby was awake and hungry. So Lorelai scooped
Kiera up and walked downstairs to see Luke.
"Come on cutie, lets go see Lu.daddy." Lorelai said, and smiled. She truly liked the way that sounded. Kiera just gurgled, and Lorelai laughed.
As Luke heard Lorelai coming downstairs, he walked over to meet her. "Hey. What do you want?" He asked, taking Kiera out of Lorelai's arms.
"Well, both Kiera and I are hungry."
"Ok. So what would you like?"
"Um.I'll have a burger."
"Alright. And for Kiera, the bottles are in the kitchen if you want to go heat one up."
"Ok." Lorelai said as she followed Luke into the kitchen.
Later that night at the Gilmore House.
Luke walked in the door to see Lorelai on the couch, looking upset. "What's wrong?" he asked as he walked over to her.
"Nothing.just I got a call today."
"From who?" Luke asked, sitting down next to Lorelai.
"Chris. He wants Rory to go stay with him for the weekend. Oh yea, Sherry will be there, and pregnant." Lorelai said, her eyes filling with tears. "Rory can't wait to go. She is in her room packing right now. I hate that woman. She acts like she is Rory's mom, not me. Buying her stuff, trying to be her friend. And now, she is giving Rory something I can't. A sister. She has me beat there." Lorelai said, as she started to cry harder. Luke sighed, and wrapped his arms around her.
"Come on Lorelai, you know how special you are to Rory. She loves you, and to her no one else could ever take your place. No matter what she buys her, or how many sisters or brothers she gives her."
"No. When this baby is born, she will want to go down every weekend, to see her little half sister. She won't care about her stupid birth mother. She'll have Sherry and Chris." Lorelai said pronouncing 'Sherry and Chris' strangely.
"That's not true and you know it. Look at me." Luke said, lifting Lorelai chin so her face would meet his. "So this Sherry is giving her a half sister. Think of all the things you gave her. You taught her, you gave up your dreams for her. Most teenagers who find themselves pregnant, and had their parents wanting to help probably would have taken advantage of it. But you didn't, you raised her. Because of your love and guidance, she is one the right track, and going to an Ivy League College." Luke said, looking Lorelai strait in her eyes.
Lorelai said nothing. She felt better. Only Luke could reassure her like this, because she really couldn't tell Rory she hated her dad for what he did to her. Screwing up her life by being in and out, here and there. But she could tell Luke, and he understood. It made her feel better, to be sitting here, in Luke's arms while he comforted her. She didn't even realize what she was doing, when she started leaning in. Just as their lips were about to make contact, Kiera started crying, killing the moment.
Luke went to take care of her, and left Lorelai with a lot to think about. Her feelings towards Luke, how she felt about Rory spending the weekend with her dad, and one more thing that had been in the back of her mind. What would happen when Kiera's mom came to get her?

A/N: Ok, I'm opening the floor to vote. Concerning Kiera do you want:
Her parents never to show up, and Luke and Lorelai adopt her
Her mother to come, and take her back
Lorelai to get a call from the mother, asking her to bring the baby to California, where she and the father will arrange an adoption, as long as she stays in California, so that they can she little Kiera whenever they want. Leaving Lorelai with a tough decision.
