Lorelai stood for a few minutes outside the diner door. She loved to watch Luke work, he was an amazing man and she had missed him so much. It took her only a little longer to muster up the courage to go in and talk to him.
Lorelai: hey stranger
Luke: hey right back at ya
Lorelai: so you're back huh
Luke: yeah, I can leave again if you prefer
Lorelai: no, i'm glad you're here
Luke: you are?
Lorelai: I kinda have something to tell you and I don't know how really
Luke: what is it, is everything ok?
Lorelai: I think so, um…….
Luke: Lorelai?
Lorelai: i'm…in desperate need of some pie
Luke: Lorelai? what were you going to say?
Lorelai: can we talk about it later?
Luke: sure, I guess
Lorelai: thanks, do you have a copy of the newspaper for me to read?
Luke: yeah, upstairs. Do you want me to fetch it?
Lorelai: its ok, I will. You just concentrate on getting me pie
Luke: and coffee?
Lorelai: yeah…. And coffee
Lorelai hurried off upstairs and found the newspaper. She took a few moments to do what she needed and headed back down to Luke.
Luke: what took you so long?
Lorelai: went to the bathroom while I was up there, hope you don't mind
Luke: no not at all
Lorelai: good….
Luke: here's your pie and coffee, you know that stuff is going to kill ya
Lorelai: I know, then maybe I shouldn't drink it
Luke: that's what I have been trying….. hold on… what!
Lorelai: yeah, you see my horoscope says that a bad habit will lead to my demise
Luke: did it huh
Lorelai: yeah, read it
Lorelai handed Luke the paper with the horoscopes in and let him read it
Luke: it doesn't say that at all, it says you will have a wonderful new adventure start today
Lorelai: well that's still true then, maybe I read it under yours
Luke: I doubt it
Lorelai: just turn it over and read it
Lorelai watched as the expression on Luke's changed quickly. She wasn't sure exactly what he was feeling by just looking at him
Lorelai: Luke?
Luke: hold on for just a minute ok
Lorelai: ok…
Luke: Lorelai?
Lorelai: yeah?
Luke: i'm going to be a father?
Lorelai: yup, only if you want to be that is. I've raised one child on my own, I could do it again
Luke: no! never! You are not doing this alone
Lorelai: good, good to know
Luke: how far along are you?
Lorelai: 7 weeks
Luke: you haven't told me for 7 weeks
Lorelai: I've only known for just short of the 4 weeks
Luke: who knows?
Lorelai: just Sookie and the doctor of course
Luke; you've seen the doctor already?
Lorelai: yeah, he did the scan a couple of days ago, i'm telling you we have one cute baby
Luke: and I missed it
Lorelai: there will be other scans
Luke: but there can only be one first scan
Lorelai: i'm sorry, I wanted to tell you in person and I was only supposed to get the scan done next week, but I moved the appointment to the other day
Luke: why?
Lorelai: I had some spotting and cramps. Not a miscarriage though. He says it's just the stress
Luke: oh, but baby, my baby, it's ok?
Lorelai: yeah he or she is doing fine
Luke: Lorelai?
Lorelai: yeah?
Luke: I love you
Lorelai: I love you too Luke
Luke walked around the counter and took Lorelai in his arms for a tight loving embrace. He kissed her lightly on the lips, then pulled back and lightly stroked her stomach
Luke: I can't believe you've got my baby in there
Lorelai: I can't believe i've got your baby in here
Luke: wow, I can't wait
Lorelai: me either
Lorelai pulled Luke in for a passionate kiss and led him upstairs. She had missed the feel of his body on hers; she couldn't believe how much she loved this man.
It was just after 7 am the next morning and Luke and Lorelai were sound asleep. They were so sound asleep though that they were blissfully unaware of what was going on downstairs. Caesar had opened the diner that morning like he had done for the last few weeks and Kirk had come in for his early breakfast. While Kirk had been sitting there waiting for his food, he has picked up the newspaper and noticed the added note on the horoscope. Kirk being Kirk thought that the horoscope was talking about him, as he was born under the same sign as Luke, and flew into a panic. He quickly phoned lulu and found out that it wasn't true for him. Kirk realised though that it had to be true for someone, so he called up Miss Patty and asked for her help in tracking down who it could be. Miss Patty sat on the phone tiredly guessing which men were in a relationship. She wasn't coming up with any
Kirk: Patty, this is big news. We have to find out who it is before anyone else does. We will be the envy of the town
Miss Patty: that we will Kirk. I need coffee so I will meet you at Luke's in half an hour
Kirk: see you just now Patty
Half an hour later Patty walked into Luke's and joined Kirk at his table
Miss Patty: ok, so start again from the beginning. Where did you find it
Kirk: over there on the counter. Do you think it could be Caesars
Miss Patty: I don't know. Caesar!
Caesar: yeah
Miss Patty: what star sign are you?
Caesar: Aries
Miss Patty: thanks. Ok so its not him. Luke, maybe its Luke, maybe he got Nicole pregnant
Kirk: maybe, but that would have had to be a while ago, this is only yesterdays paper
Miss Patty: yeah, anyways I cant picture Nicole doing something so cute
Kirk: me either
Miss Patty: let me have a look at that, see if I notice the handwriting
Kirk: you can do that?
Miss Patty: yes, you learn to pick up on a lot of detail when you have been the nosy member of a town for as long as I have.
Kirk: whose is it then?
Miss Patty: be patient Kirk………… wow
Kirk: what?
Miss Patty: this is Lorelai's handwriting.
Kirk: are you sure
Miss Patty: of course, she has a very distinct way of writing some of the letters
Kirk: wow
Miss Patty: yeah, so Lorelai is pregnant. I got to start telling people
Kirk: don't you think we should figure out who the father is first
Miss patty: good thinking, so Luke? Maybe they finally hooked up
Kirk: well I would say that is a definite
Miss Patty: why?
Kirk indicated with his head to the staircase. Miss patty turned around to see Luke and Lorelai walking through the curtain. It would have been easy for her to see that they had both just woken up.
Miss Patty: congratulations sweetie
Miss patty got up quickly and walked over to Lorelai and gave her a hug.
Miss Patty: I knew you too were perfect for each other. And now you are going to have you own perfect little family
Lorelai: but how?
Miss Patty pointed to the horoscope on the table.
Miss patty: you are so sweet dear
Luke: that's private
Miss Patty: sorry, but it was just sitting there
Luke: sorry Lorelai, I shouldn't have left it down here
Lorelai: it ok, you could never have predicted someone finding it and figuring it was about us.
Luke: yeah, I guess. Patty, can I have it back please
Miss Patty: sure babe, let me just read it one more time. 'today you will find out you are going to be a dad.'
As patty read is out loud, both Lorelai and Luke got goofy smiles on their face. They were going to be a perfect little family.
I am undecided as to whether to tackle the pregnancy and telling Rory and her parents or just leave it at this point. Please if you want me to continue I would love some of your ideas. I want it to be different than other stories i've read. Thanks for reading.
