Happy Christmas-Chapter 3
________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the day Luke walked up to his apartment and buried his head in his hands. It had been one of the longest days, longest YEARS of his life. So many things had happened and he didn't know how to deal with all of them.
First he was married, then divorced.then there was Lorelai, he had finally told her how he'd felt, and her response was 'I know'. He didn't know what that meant, and she was going to tell him, she was going to tell him today.and then it happened.
He told her it was a mistake. And it wasn't a mistake, but now it had to be. In light of what he'd just found out what he told Lorelai had to be a mistake.
He moved over to his bed, and looked at the picture of Nicole that was sitting next to it. It was a picture of the two of them on the cruise, that damn boat, where all his problems had started. Just then his phone rang.
"Hello" said Luke picking up the phone.
"Hey Luke, it's me," said the voice on the other end. She'd called earlier, and Luke was expecting another call back.
"Hey Nicole, thanks for calling back, I was really busy earlier. Did you tell me what I think you told me earlier?" asked Luke into the phone.
"Yes, Luke I'm pregnant."
The words rang in his ears. Nicole was pregnant. As Lorelai would put it he'd finally reproduced.
"I see.and it's mine." Said Luke
"How can you even ask me that!" screamed Nicole, "Who's do you think it is?"
"Well Nicole, we haven't been together for several months, I was just checking," said Luke exasperated, "what did you expect."
"I'm sorry Luke," she said. "I know we haven't been together in awhile, and hell, who knows, you may have moved on and don't even want to deal with me and this baby."
"Nicole, of course I'm dealing with it, I'm not some dead beat.lets meet tomorrow, come to the diner."
"Thanks Luke," she said in a small voice, "I'm sorry if this ruined your plans."
"What plans?" asked Luke
"Well I just assumed that since you and Lorelai went to your aunts for Thanksgiving that the two of you were together."
Luke laughed "no, we're just friends.just friends."
"Well good," said Nicole, "bye Luke."
"Bye."
On her end Nicole hung up the phone and smiled."and you're going to stay just friends," she said to know one in particular."No one beats me."
Luke hung up the phone and sighed. How did Nicole know Lorelai came with me for thanksgiving? He thought. But then he figured he must have just told her one time and forgot.
Now he had to tell Lorelai, before she heard from someone else. He gathered this things and headed out of the diner.
