The next morning, Lorelai wandered into Luke's smiling. Rory would be back
later that night, and she had an idea, that she hoped Luke would go along
with. She walked up to the counter were Luke was. "Hey."
"Oh hi, Lorelai. Coffee?"
"Um, maybe in a minute. But first can we go upstairs. There is something important I want to talk to you about."
"Uh, sure. Let me just let Caesar know, okay?"
"Yep, but be quick." Lorelai said walking upstairs to his apartment. A few moments later, Luke joined her.
"So, what is it? Is something wrong?" he asked concerned.
"Um, nothing is wrong. But I do want to run something by you." Lorelai said nervously.
"Okay, what is it?" Luke asked curiously.
"Alright, remember a while ago, when my dad had the heart attack, and you drove me to the hospital?"
"Yes, he's not hurt again is he?"
"No, um. Remember that on the truck ride there, I told you that you would make a great father? Well, I was thinking, well wondering, do you want to be a father someday?"
"I suppose so, I mean if I can someone after all I would need a mother too, can't do it on my own." Luke said with a slight smirk.
"I know, I'm well let's just say I'm offering to be the mother. What would you say to that? This is strictly hypothetical, of course.
"Um, I don't know. Lorelai what's going on? Just tell me."
"I think we should have a baby. Together." Lorelai said in on quick breath,
"What? Lorelai are you feeling okay? I know you're haven't been really happy lately, but. have you even thought about what you just suggested? How much everything would change? Especially between us?"
'Yes, I've thought about it. For a while now, since when Kiera was here, and I don't know, it seemed like we made good parents and I want a kid and so do you. So why not? We're good friends we could do it. Together. You've heard of gays having kids with their female friends, and vice versa, well if they can, why can't we. Why don't we?
"Its not the same thing as gay people having kids with their friends Lorelai, you and I are both biologically able to have a kid should we ever settle down and get married."
"But I.Maybe I want this with you. Maybe, I don't want to date anymore. Maybe I thought it would give both of us a chance at happiness. Please think about this Luke. I know I really want it." With that said, Lorelai started to get up and walk off when Luke put a hand on her arm to stop her.
"Lorelai, sit back down for a minute. Listen to me for a second okay?" Luke asked looking in her eyes.
"Okay." Lorelai said, and sat down.
"Now, I kinda want to do this too. But you have to give me a minute to think. If we decide to do this, you realize that your mother won't be happy, and we'll be the talk of the town for the rest of our lives. You also realize what we have to do? Lorelai if we have a kid together, it'll be crossing the barrier between friends, and whatever it is when you have a kid with someone your not involved with. Lorelai, I think, know we could, but do you want to change everything change?" Luke asked as he rubbed her hand with his thumb.
"Yes, and I don't care. My mother does not control me or my life. The town, well who cares what they think. And if you really do care, we won't be letting them down. They'd be ecstatic. And, well I don't mind crossing that line with you. You've always been there for me, and well let's face it Luke, you're more of a dad to Rory than Chris is. Sure he's getting better but he still wasn't there for the first sixteen years."
"Okay, Rory. What about her? You care what she thinks, so do I. What if, we do this and she isn't happy?"
"She will be. She loves you, and she loves me. And as long as we include her, you not to the know to the point we can without it being weird anyways, she'll be happy, and fine with it."
"Okay. I guess, when she gets back tonight we'll talk to her, and as long as she's fine. Then well, okay. I want this too, and as long as she says we have her blessing, and won't hate me, then okay. We'll do it." Luke finished this, smiling, as was Lorelai.
"Wow. Think about it. In a few months I could be pregnant. Actually I will be, because I know Rory, will be surprised but still stand behind us." Lorelai smiled again. She moved closer to Luke, who gathered her into his arms. They sat like, that deep in thought for a while before Luke got up.
"I should go back to work now. How about you and Rory come by around closing time tonight and we'll all take."
"Sounds good." Lorelai also stood up, and gave Luke another hug. When they pulled back they looked into each other's eyes. Luke leaned in and kissed Lorelai on her forehead then took her hand and lead her downstairs.

A/N- So surprised? Yep it may just happen and quicker if I get lots of reviews.
