Chapter 4:

Lorelai entered the dragonfly inn with a spring in her step, she had gone home quickly to change and freshen up before heading in to work. She found Michel behind the desk finalising the bookings for their official opening weekend and Sookie in the kitchen trying her hardest to hire back some of the staff that had quit during their test weekend. Sookie stopped what she was doing and rushed over to Lorelai when she saw her enter.

Sookie: so?

Lorelai: hello Sookie, how are you Sookie?

Sookie: hello, I'm fine and so?

Lorelai: Sookie: I'd rather not talk about it.

Sookie: come on Lorelai!

Lorelai: Sookie, I'm serious I really don't want to talk about anything; I just want to focus on the opening of our fantastic inn.

Sookie: that reminds me, Kirk says to say thanks to you and Luke for helping him out. What happened?

Lorelai: long story, but we ended up pulling rose bush thorns out of his butt.

Sookie: ouch

Lorelai: I know, it freaked us out so much, but someone had to do it.

Sookie: is everything ok with you and Rory?

Lorelai: no, but we will get back to normal when she comes home.

Sookie: hey, I never got to speak to Luke, did he like the inn he invested in.

Lorelai: yeah he did

Sookie noticed the smile on Lorelais face but decided not to pursue it.

Sookie: hey, so a bit awkward with Rory this morning huh

Lorelai: I thought we weren't going to talk about it sook!

Sookie: sorry, whenever your ready

Lorelai: thanks; i'm going to get back to my office and work. Bye Sookie

Sookie: bye

The rest of the day went by quickly. Things were a bit weird when she spoke to Sookie, Lorelai knew how much Sookie wanted to know what had happened and she also knew that Sookie would be thrilled to hear that it was Luke that she had spent the night with, she just couldn't tell her. Not yet anyway

Luke and Lorelai continued to date secretly; they went out almost every night and always had an amazing time. It was the day before their one-month anniversary and Luke had told Lorelai he had something planned to surprise her. As much as she didn't like surprises she let him get away with it. He took her out to a lake in another county, as the town still did not know. He had set up a candle lit picnic and had an array of presents for her. He had gotten her a beautiful necklace, a collectable hello kitty lamp and a book with a list of things he had written down about what he loves about her.

Lorelai: Luke this is so gorgeous, will you put it on me, and this hello kitty lamp, so cute and this book, now this book. I think you deserve a kiss for this.

Luke: you really like it

Lorelai: yeah, now come here so I can kiss you.

Luke and Lorelai moved in closer and shared a very passionate kiss. They broke apart from the kiss and laid down on the blanket and cuddled up to each other. They laid there for several hours before deciding to head back to stars hollow. On the way back Luke received a call from Liz, she and TJ had been in an accident and needed their help for a while. Luke agreed to help like he always did. He left the next morning after promising Lorelai he would be back as soon as he possibly could.

They spoke everyday on the phone sometimes more than once. It had already been a week and Lorelai was growing restless. She had no Luke, no Rory and things were still a bit weird with Sookie as she was still unable to tell her about her and Luke. Lorelai was not feeling herself lately, she had been sick and tired all the time, it took her a while before she realised what it could be. Lorelai remembered that she and Luke had spent a night together without the necessary protection. That was about 3 weeks ago, so Lorelai knew it was a strong possibility that she might be pregnant.

It was Friday night and Lorelai headed into Hartford to get a pregnancy test, she didn't want to buy one locally for the fear that someone would see. When she got home she sat on her couch not sure if she had the will power to go and take the test on her own. She was stuck; she had no one to turn to. Lorelai decided to phone Sookie, thinking there was no better time to tell her. Lorelai dialled sookie's number, after a few rings Jackson picked up.

Jackson: hello

Lorelai: hey Jackson, Is Sookie available.

Jackson: yeah, hold on will ya

Sookie: hello

Lorelai: hey Sookie.

Sookie: Lorelai? Its late is everything ok

Lorelai: I think so; I need to talk to you.

Sookie: what is it?

Lorelai: can you come over?

Sookie: not tonight sweetie, can I come by in the morning?

Lorelai: are you sure that you cant come tonight.

Sookie: I'm sure, Lorelai what's wrong

Lorelai: nothing, never mind, I can handle it, don't worry, and ill speak to you tomorrow. Bye

Before Sookie could say goodbye Lorelai had put the phone down. Lorelai picked up the pregnancy test and headed into the bathroom, taking in deep breaths to calm herself. Lorelai had set the alarm and knew it was going to be a long 5 minutes.

When the alarm finally went off, Lorelai braced herself for the results, not sure what she wanted to see.

This is where I am stuck. I don't know whether to make her pregnant or not. I had an idea for another story, which I am just about to post. Please let me know what you want, cause I'm going to leave this story until you review.
