A/N: Oh, so you must be wondering what happened to Friday Night Dinners. Well, I decided that FND (aka Friday Night Dinner) wasn't going to happen this week. Why? Because I really dislike Richard and purely hate Emily. Plus I don't know how to write them and this fic is purely about Luke and Lorelai, not Rory, Lorelai, and her crazy parents.

Chapter Two: Revelation

---------------------------------------------

After cleaning herself up, Lorelai went to her purse and retrieved her cell phone. She hit a speed dial and the phone automatically called Rory's dorm phone.

When the machine picked up (seeing how it was still around seven in the morning, on a Saturday) Lorelai waited patiently for the beep that would start her message.

When the beep sounded in her ear, Lorelai said eagerly, "Rory. Rory. Rory. Rory. Rory. Rory. Rory. Rory. Rory. Rory. Rory. Rory." She repeated Rory's name rather loudly and quickly many more times before the line finally picked up.

"What?" came a bleary voice. One that sounded nothing like Rory.

With faint hope, Lorelai said weakly, "Rory?"

"Paris."

"Oh. Well, hi Paris. How are you? Oh, well, probably tired. I, uh, need to talk to Rory. You know. My daughter. And she's there. I think. I hope. If she's not, I'll probably kill myself and then haunt her for the rest of her life. But anyway. I know she's probably even more knocked out than you probably were, seeing how you answered the phone first. Either that or Rory's not there and---"

"Is there a point to this conversation? Or will I have to go bang my head against a wall to finally fall asleep again? That didn't make sense. Wanna know why? Maybe because some insane asylum escapee called at seven in the morning to talk to her daughter, who I will now have to kill for living here. Now I know you might be sorry, but probably aren't, and even if you were I could care less, but if you could never call here again at this time on this day, or any time or day, ever again, I would fully appreciate it."

"Paris?"

Rory's voice was faint on the other line, but Lorelai knew that Paris' ranting had awoken her. The phone was transferred to the next sleepy girl who asked tiredly, "Hello?"

"Rory, darling! I love your little pet there. She's quite entertaining."

"What do you want, Mom? It's seven in the morning. Why are you even up? No, don't answer that. Just tell me what you need and we can talk later after I am fully conscious."

"I need you to come home for the day."

"Why?"

"You have to go to the store for me."

"Well, uh, Mom. I don't know if you were aware, but it would probably take less time for you to go to Doose's than it would for me."

"Well..." Lorelai hesitated. She didn't know if you she wanted to tell Rory about her and Luke's separation over the phone or in person. "I...I can't go near a certain place any more. And Doose's is near a certain place, so I can't go there."

"What place? Oh. Luke's? Mom, did you and Luke have a fight?"

"Uh...We broke up. See you at home in a couple hours!"

Lorelai quickly hung up the phone and tossed it onto the living room couch. It rang again, but she didn't dare answer it. The small offensive item ceased to make noise, and then the house phone rang. When the machine picked up, and the tone beeped, Rory's voice rang out into the house.

"Mom. You have to pick up. Mom. Mom. Come on. We have to talk about it. I know it'll be hard, but you have to talk about it sooner or later."

"Not until you come home!" Lorelai yelled, though she knew that Rory couldn't hear her.

"Fine. I'll come home. But you have to explain everything to me when I do. And you have to explain before I go to the store. I'll see you later. I love you."

Rory hung up and Lorelai sat dejectedly on the couch.

------------------------------------------------

When Rory got home, Lorelai was lying on the couch, watching cartoons.

"Mom?"

"Hey, Hun! How's it going?" Lorelai stood and hugged Rory, who then pushed her back onto the couch and sat next to her.

"Mom, what happened with Luke?"

"We broke up."

Rory rolled her eyes. "You said that already. What happened? How'd it happen? Why did you break up?"

"Because he couldn't control his jealousy," Lorelai answered only the last question, proudly lifting her chin.

"That's why? Who ended it?"

Lorelai paused a moment, her eyes burning with new tears. She had already decided she could live without him. Why was she getting upset? It was done and over with.

"He did."

"Luke did? But he loves you more than anything in the world...Why would he break up with you?"

"He thought I was sleeping with your father. Having an affair with another man."

"Wha...?"

"He obviously became paranoid after Nicole cheated on him. I don't understand why he didn't...doesn't trust me. I never did anything for him to distrust me!"

"Mom, what happened with Dad?"

"I...I canceled me and Luke's last few dates to help your dad."

"You what? Mom, how could you do that? Of course he thought you were cheating! Look at your track record with dad! The minute he's back in our lives, you go and sleep with him! You automatically think we can be a family! Luke probably thought it was nothing too big at first, but once he stopped seeing you around, he got suspicious. He probably thought that that old part of you that always has a thing for Dad had taken over you and had made you go back to him."

"But he should have trusted me! I did nothing wrong."

"When will you see that Luke is the best man in the world for you? I can't think of anyone who could possibly be more perfect for you."

"It doesn't matter. He probably never wants to see me again. Well, anyway, I guess I should tell you my reason for making you come home so early in the day."

"I thought it was to talk about your break up with Luke."

"Nope. I'm over that. I have decided that I do not need men and he's one so...yeah."

"Then why did you make me come home?"

"To go to the store for me. I need healthy food. Food that has lots of nutrition. Oh, and chocolate too. Everyone knows that eating chocolate makes a happier baby---" Lorelai froze, realizing her mistake a second to late.

"What about chocolate?"

Maybe she didn't hear the baby part. Maybe she didn't comprehend it and I can say something else to make it right. No. Wait. Maybe I can distract her somehow. A doggie treat? No, no...Rory's not stupid or easily distracted. Otherwise she wouldn't be going to Yale. Damn.

"Chocolate? Who said anything about chocolate?"

"Mom."

"I...um...I'm, uh.... I'm..."

"You're pregnant?"

"Yes. Yes I am."

"Are you certain?"

"Positive."

"Have you gone to the doctor to make sure?"

"Not yet, but pregnancy tests are usually right."

"Will it be my half sibling or full?"

"What?"

"Is it Luke's or Dad's?"

"Rory!" Lorelai looked truly horrified. It wasn't fake horror, or melodramatic horror, but honest horror. "How could you possibly think that of me too?" Her voice was hurt and she sounded like she was about to cry. For real.

"I...I didn't mean---"

"Of course! You didn't mean anything by it! You're just like Luke! How could you think that I would sleep with you Dad? I don't love him! I love Luke! I don't think I'll ever love anyone more than I did Luke."

"Did Luke?"

"Do Luke. I love him more than I thought possible. But that doesn't matter. GOD! Even my daughter thinks I'm a cheater!" Lorelai buried her head in her arms, tying her hardest to stop the tears from coming.

She did love Luke. And she would never ever cheat on him. Especially when Nicole did it to him. How could anyone cheat on Luke? He was the most wonderful man in the world!

"Mom, I'm sorry. It's just...You have a history with Dad that includes sleeping with him without notice or the start of a relationship. You slept with him after you and Max broke up. Even though you were still hung up on Max. I don't know...It seemed like a possibility. A horrible one that I hope will never be the truth, but it still was one."

A sob escaped Lorelai and Rory scooted over to hug her mother. Lorelai didn't respond at first, but after a second she turned and let Rory hold her, trying her best to stop her sobs from coming.

"I love him, Rory. I really do. But he hates me. Now I'll have to raise another child by myself."

"I'll be here," Rory offered quietly, her voice slightly muffled by Lorelai's curls.

"I know. But it's not the same. I wanted to raise my next child with its father. I wanted to be part of a family by the time I had another child."

"I know, Mom. I know. I'll go to the store for you and get you coffee, too."

"From Luke's?"

"From Luke's. But I'll make him think it was for me. I'll even take a sip in front of the window to convince him."

Lorelai chuckled, sitting up to look at her daughter.

"Thanks kid. You know I love you."

"I love you too." Rory stood, taking her mother's purse with her. "So what do you want me to get?"

"All the stuff that is disgusting to you."

"You got it. Except for the chocolate."

"Cause we all love chocolate."

"You bet we do. I'll be right back."

Rory leaned down and gave her mom a kiss, then turned and left.
