Five whole weeks passed since Lorelai had last spoken to her parents. A lot had happened, well not too much. Her and Luke went to Babies R Us and registered for her baby shower. They still had to furnish the house that they live in, because only the dinner was ready for the baby. Rory and Logan had gone out a few times, and they got a bit more serious. It was almost time to go back to Friday night dinners. In fact it was almost time to tell Emily about the baby. Lorelai was surprised with a knock at the door on Thursday night, and she had no idea who it was.
"It's open!" Lorelai screamed, not wanting to get up. She was now a little bit over six months pregnant.
"Lorelai, that's no way to open the door! Lorelai where are you?" Emily asked.
"Oh crap!" Lorelai whispered as she tried to look for a blanket to hide her huge stomach. She was going to tell her tomorrow, she didn't want Emily to find out like this. Emily entered the room and Lorelai gave up hope. "Hi mom!" Lorelai said nervously.
"Lorelai? You're pregnant!"
"No mom, I'm just fat."
"It all makes sense now: no alcohol, no caffeine, the throwing up, and all the faces. I can't believe I didn't figure it out. I am such an idiot!"
"Mom, I really wanted to tell you." Lorelai said as she started to cry. "I did want to tell you, I did, but I was scared, and I still am."
"Scared of what Lorelai? What would I do to you? I don't know what's worse not being told about this, or you being afraid of me."
"Mom, I was scared that you would take Yale away from Rory because that's the most important thing to her, and she's the most important thing to me. That would have been perfect revenge for you to give to me, actually anything involving Rory would have been perfect revenge. I'm sorry I really wanted to tell you, I did."
"How far along are you this time Lorelai?"
"Ouch! Oh my god! It hurts! Ouch!"
"Lorelai don't pretend to be in pain. I asked you a question!"
"Mom, I'm not lying! It really does hurt."
"Dear God Lorelai are you that naïve?" Emily yelled as she left.
Lorelai really was in pain, but she managed to get the phone to call Luke who was going to pick Rory up at Yale, because they just got out of school for the summer.
"Hello."
"Hi." Lorelai said in pain.
"What's wrong Lorelai?"
"My mom came. I'm in pain. Luke it hurts. I need you. Luke!" Lorelai said crying.
"I'm on my way Lorelai." Luke responded bravely. He was really scared but he knew that if Lorelai knew how scared he was then she would get even more scared then she already was.
"No go get Rory first. She's waiting for you!"
"She's already here."
"Luke?"
"Hmmm."
"If anything happens to me or the baby, please hurt my mother. She did this to me you know. I felt fine until she got here and then I told her I was in pain, and she left. She walked out of the house and drove away. I hate her Luke! I hate her! I want her to die!"
"Calm down Lorelai. I'm putting Rory on the phone."
"Mom? What happened?
Are you ok? Dad, I mean Luke, is coming inside now to take you to the
hospital. What happened?"
"I was talking to my mother and all
of a sudden I got pains in my side and she called me a liar."
"It's ok mom. Clam down. Luke is at the front door!" Rory said almost in tears.
Luke got inside to find Lorelai laying on the couch holding her stomach. Her face was bright red from crying and her cheeks were soaking wet.
"Hey Lorelai." He said as he picked her up.
"It hurts Luke."
"I know baby, I know." He said as Lorelai put her head on his shoulder. Then he walked out to the truck and put Lorelai in between Rory and himself. He started the car and they were off to the hospital.
