Part deux (I really have the word 'deux' stuck in my head:)
All disclaimers in part uno.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my story. Makes a gal feel appreciated.
Author's Note: None of this is really in the timeline of the series per se. Just know Luke was married and...got divorced I guess. shrug> Sorry it took so long to post. Freaking life had to intrude sigh> anywho this is done and ready to rock baby!
I'm to tired to be making any kind of sense by the by. I hope this is coherent:) On with the shew...
Lorelai's eyes widened at hearing and seeing Luke standing in her doorway.
She turned to him.
"I think that you should serve salmon on your menu," Lorelai supplied without a beat
Luke frowned at this for he knew it wasn't what Lorelai was going to say, "Salmon? You don't eat salmon."
Lorelai held up a finger, "Doesn't mean other people won't want to."
"I'll think about it."
Rory stood, "I'll leave now so that the two of you can talk."
"Talk about what," Luke asked as he had started to get the impression that whatever he had interrupted was big and that it involved him
Lorelai sighed heavily, "We need to talk."
Hearing those four words was never a good thing and Luke sank into the chair across from Lorelai knowing, he thought, what they were going to talk about.
"You want to talk about that night. Right?"
Lorelai nodded her head, "I do at that. How do you feel about me," she slowly asked
"How do I feel about you?"
"Honestly if you will."
Luke was silent for a moment. He'd been doing a lot of thinking since that fateful night and was ready to tell Lorelai. "Honestly. I'm in love with you."
Lorelai was slightly startled by this, but…not at the same time, "Really?"
Luke nodded his head, "I've been in love with you for quite some time," he commented slowly really hoping this wouldn't scare Lorelai off, "I just…never found the right time to tell you is all."
He stopped his rant to stare at Lorelai who hadn't so much as blinked since he began.
Luke waved a hand in her face, "Lorelai?"
A blink and she turned her eyes to him, "Yes?"
"Say something."
"I love you too," she responded as if the concept was new to her and in a way it was
Luke smiled at this, "You do?"
"Very much," Lorelai stated with a big smile
"Was this what we needed to talk about? What you wanted to tell me?"
Lorelai's smile faded at this question and the worrying that had plagued her since she found out her big news returned to gnaw at her once again. Luke's smile, too, faded when he saw the look on his love's face.
"What is it Lorelai? Whatever it is you can tell me?"
Lorelai got up from her chair and started to pace around the room, "I so cannot tell you this, but I have to tell you this because you are going to find out soon enough and I can't hide it from you…"
"Is it another guy," Luke hesitantly asked hoping that wasn't it.
"Of course not, but that would be easier to tell you than the news that I have to tell you."
"Lorelai?"
She turned to him.
"Sit. Tell me."
Lorelai sat in her previously vacated chair and took his hands into hers, "Luke…I'm pregnant."
How's that for and ending. I know it's short but that's all my brain would give me. Feedback is the spice of life my friends.
