Hi all, thanks for all the reviews, it helped me come up with this scenario, I'm sorry if it disappoints some of you, but it will change a bit in the next few chapters.
She couldn't believe it, she was actually pregnant. How could she let this happen? They had only been together for just over a month, and … and Luke doesn't like kids, how on earth is she going to tell him. I need options she thought.
Well first off she could phone him and tell him, wait for his return, run away or get rid of it. She shuddered at the thought and quickly crossed it off her mental list. Luke had been away for only a short while but she missed him, so she knew running away wouldn't help her in the least, she would still have this baby that would look like him or act like him.
Lorelai decided she wasn't quite ready to face the ordeal so made her way upstairs to lie down. She fell asleep there and woke up only when she heard someone ascending her staircase.
Sookie: Lorelai, are you up here?
Lorelai: yeah, Sookie. What you doing here so early?
Sookie: its after nine
Lorelai: I repeat my question, what you doing here so early?
Sookie: sorry, but you sounded upset last night so I came as soon as I could, which is now.
Lorelai: well, thanks sook, but I'm ok now
Sookie: what was wrong, Jason wasn't bothering you again was he, cause I will…
Lorelai: no, I haven't heard from him since the test run.
Sookie: then what was it?
Lorelai: Sookie, I don't know where to start
Sookie: beginning always works
Lorelai: ok, well at the test run Luke and I kissed followed by some sex, some dating and now I am pregnant.
Sookie: wow, what? Slow down just a minute……… this is amazing
Sookie jumped on Lorelai giving her a huge hug
Sookie: I knew you to would find each other eventually
Lorelai: Sookie?
Sookie: yeah
Lorelai: how do I tell him?
Sookie: I don't know, remember when I told Jackson, he went all weird so I don't think I am the best to get advise from here.
Lorelai: he doesn't like kids.
Sookie: He will love this one, it's a part of you and a part of him, both of whom he is a fan.
Lorelai: I know, but
Sookie: no buts, just… wow. Hey what does Rory think?
Lorelai: she doesn't know
Sookie: well maybe practice by telling her like you did with me
Lorelai: Rory and I aren't on speaking terms at the moment, she is still in Europe with my mom.
Sookie: oh, and when is Luke back?
Lorelai: he said he would only be gone for a week but he has been gone for a week and a half, so hopefully soon
Sookie: so, how far along are you?
Lorelai: don't know exactly, only found out last night, I would guess 3-4 weeks.
Sookie: I still can't believe this. You and Luke and this baby.
Lorelai: yeah, I just wish I wasn't so scared. I don't want to raise another child on my own. I always thought I would do it right if I had a second go at it.
Sookie: Luke won't leave you, he loves you too much
Lorelai: how do you know, you haven't seen us together
Sookie: I have seen you two together so many times as friends and every time it was obvious he had feeling for you
Lorelai: well, he did tell me he loved me, so… I hope this doesn't change his mind. How could I be so stupid
Sookie: things happen and you know it, just think you wouldn't have Rory if things always had to go as planned
Lorelai: when you're right you're right
Sookie: good, I like to hear that
Lorelai: hey Sookie can I have the number of your doctor, I want to make an appointment and make sure that I am definitely pregnant and that it wasn't a false positive
Sookie: do you even get those?
Lorelai: I think so, it's been a while. 19 years…
Sookie gave Lorelai the doctor's number and Lorelai set up an appointment for the next day, the sooner the better she thought. Lorelai had asked Sookie to come with and she obliged. The doctor's appointment went without a hitch. The doctor confirmed her pregnancy and told her to come back in a few weeks for the first scan, that way she could have Luke with her to, well that's if he wanted to be there.
A few weeks had passed and Lorelai had spoken to Luke on the phone almost every day, trying not to give away her secret as she had decided to tell him in person. He was still helping out his sister so he wouldn't be able to make it to her first appointment. It was the day before her scan, and Lorelai felt sick. She had decided to stay at home, despite the fact that she was needed at the inn. She didn't want to tell anyone, but something wasn't right with her pregnancy. Lorelai managed to get hold of the doctor and change her appointment to that afternoon. When she arrived she ad only a short wait until the doctor came
Doctor: Miss Gilmore
Lorelai: hi
Doctor: come on in so we can see what the matter is
Lorelai: thanks
When inside Lorelai got dressed in the gown and sat on the table. The doctor examined her and did the scan so that she could see her baby. It was all but a spec on the screen, but she loved seeing it.
Doctor: well everything seems to be on track, you are 6 weeks. My concern though is that you are too stressed
Lorelai: that would be a good assumption
Doctor: well you need to stay calm as much as possible. Because of your age you might have more difficulty with this pregnancy, I would advise that we do more advanced blood tests later in the pregnancy to rule out genetic abnormalities etc.
Lorelai: that sounds fine, is there any reason to worry.
Doctor: not yet, but I do want you to start relaxing, your stressing is only going to weaken the pregnancy.
Lorelai: I will thanks, I just need to get the telling the father thing out of the way and then things should be better.
Doctor: well, I will see you in a few weeks for your next check up
Lorelai: thank you, see you then
On the way back to her house, Lorelai drove past the diner and saw Luke's truck parked outside. She thought to herself, there is never a better time. And with that she parked her car and went inside to talk to him. A talk she wasn't sure she was ready to have.
Thanks again for reading, I would really appreciate your reviews. The chapter didn't come out how I imagined it, but I didn't want to keep you waiting any longer. Hope to hear from you soon
