Thanks again for the nice reviews!
At first I wanted to make you wait to find out the sex of the babies, but then I decided against it, becauseI already did it with William. So you´re gonna find out this chapter.
to ProFfeSseR: I also hate it when parents are always yelling, but in this story it´s just a one-time thing to happen, because what can you do if you have a furious baby, screaming so loud that you can´t get to him! But you´ll see in this chapter that this is not what Luke is supposed to be as a father( in my story).
to LukeNlorelaifan: We also read it at school and watched the movie, and I just loved this scene, so I had to put it in!
to vasj: Greetings to your daughter! (You´ll see why!)
Chapter 28: Out!
"Where is he? Where is he?" Lorelai screamed when the maid opened the door and ran inside, into the living-room, Luke followed her with a huge smile on his face.
She picked up William, who had crawled through the living room, then swirled him around in a circle before she hugged him and started to jump up and down, while they both squeaked and giggled.
"Luke, I see the appointment went well, the doctor actually could to tell you the sex of the babies?" Emily asked and just ignored Lorelais squeaking.
"Yeah, she was!" Luke confirmed and walked over to Lorelai and took William out of her arms and sat him back on the floor, but not without kissing his cheek. Then he slung his arms around her waist, to stop her jumping, and placed his hands on her belly.
"So what do you get?" Richard asked curiously.
"Well..." Lorelai grinned.
"Lorelai!" Emily pressed.
"We know, but we don´t tell ya!" she laughed, stuck out her tongue and then started to bounce again, until Luke stopped her.
"Lorelai, really, this is nothing to joke about. Just tell us!" Emil said annoyed.
"Nooo! Our little secret!" she pouted and then smiled at Luke. He saw that Emily got angry, so he hurried to explain.
" We decided that we won´t tell anyone till these two are born, so that we don´t have to discuss about names and stuff."
"I see. But I hope they are both healthy" Emily said a little bit offended.
"Yes, everything is fine mum." Lorelai assured her and placed a kiss on Luke´s cheek.
"Did you tell Rory about the sex of the babies?" Emily asked then
"No, I just called her and told her that we know. She can´t tell you!" Lorelai grinned.
"Will no!" Luke suddenlysaid and hurried to pick his son up before he could crash one of the expensive vases who stood on the floor. Of course he started to scream and struggle again immediately.
"William, what did I tell you about your screaming?" Luke asked him and held him above his own head. In general he stopped then, but not this time. Lorelai walked over and signalised Luke to hand him over, which he did, but William only got more furious. She tried to sit him on her hip, but because he struggled and kicked so hard it was impossible.
"Ow!" Lorelai said when he kicked her in the stomach. Luke took him again and held him tight with one hand, while he stroked Lorelais belly softly with the other.
"Hon´you´re okay?" he asked her concerned.
"Yeah, it wasn´t that bad" she told him and squeezed his hand for a second, while William still screamed.
"Poor boy, come to your grandfather" Richard said and held out his arms to the baby.
"No, Richard. It´s okay, we can handle it." Luke said and Richard was taken aback.
"But it sure doesn´t look like you can!" Emily said and stood next to her husband.
"Mom!" Lorelai warned her.
"What Lorelai? If you can handle it why is your son still screaming like crazy and is all red in the face? Is this your way to handle it? Just let him scream? He is a baby Lorelai!"
"How we handle this is none of your business! He is our son and we will deal with it the way we like!" Lorelai yelled.
"And dealing with it for you means ignore it?" Richard asked.
"Richard, Emily, we are thankful that you looked after him this morning, but Lorelai is right: We will deal with his screaming the way we like. He got used to just start screaming whenever he doesn´t get what he wants, that´s not acceptable, even if he´s just eight and a half months old." Luke finished the discussion.
"Lorelai, could you hand me his car-seat?" he asked her and placed his struggling and still screaming son in it, then took the baby-bag and Lorelai mouthed "Thanks" in his direction..
"You´re ready?" he asked before he said good-bye to Richard and Emily and walked outside.
"Bye, mom, bye dad and thanks again for looking after him. Oh, and Rory said she will be here next Friday!" Lorelai said before she followed Luke outside.
"I think I´m gonna join him on the back-seat and try to calm him." she told Luke once they had placed the car-seat in the car.
William had calmed down very fast when the car started and fell asleep and when they arrived at home they just placed him in the crib before they met in the living-room.
Luke wanted to join Lorelai on the couch when the phone rang.
"Danes... yeah... yeah we´re back... yeah just wait a second... Lorelai for you... Michel!" he said when he handed her the phone and rolled his eyes.
"Michel hi! What can I do for ya?" she asked over-friendly and gestured to Luke that he should sit down.
"You told me that you would come back immediately after the appointment and now I am sitting here in this hotel all by myself and these annoying guests and their horrible children and where is the woman who should be here? At home!" he said with his strong french accent.
"Well, maybe it is because the woman who is at home is your boss and she is pregnant with twins, so she has every right to stay at home!"
"Yes, yes, that might be a possibility. But don´t blame me if I´ll lock these stupid kids in the cellar and throw away the key!" he told her with a sadistic smile.
"Michel I´m too happy to argue with you right now. We just found out the sex of the babies and I´m gonna stay at home today and celebrate with my husband , who also took the day off, so don´t wait for me!" she told him and smiled when Luke shifted a bit, so that she could lean against his chest with her back.
"As long as you are not pregnant with cute little puppies I don´t care what sex they have! See you tomorrow. And if you won´t be here tomorrow I will be sick for the rest of the week!" Michel said and hung up.
Lorelai stared at the phone in disbelieve for some moments then she had to laugh and threw the phone on the couch.
"What did he want?" Luke asked.
"Just complaining that I don´t stop by the Inn today. Same as usual." she said before she snuggled closer into Luke´s chest and let out an content sigh.
"So after your mothers little demonstration, we stay with the names?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, unless you want to change them!" Lorelai said and turned a bit so that she could see his face.
"No, I want to keep them. I like them a lot. And maybe these two already got used to them, because you talked to them all the way from the doctor to your parents and used the names about a million times." he smiled and stroked her belly.
"You´re right. Maybe they would suffer from some after-birth- wrong-personality-shock if we change the names now."
"Is there such a thing?" he asked.
"Yes, of course." she nodded.
"And who suffered from such a thing?"
"You know... that man.. in ... that film..." she began but had to laugh when Luke raised his eyebrows.
"uhuh!" he said and kissed her.
"Do you think they will look more like me or more like you?" Lorelai asked some minutes later, still breathless from the passionate kiss.
"Everybody says that Will looks like me, but has your eyes. Maybe this time they will look like you, but have my eyes? I don´t know. But I´m relieved that they are not that kind of twins who will look exactly like one another. That would be hard. One who screams furiously while the other two confuse you because you don´t know who is who."
"That would have been funny!" Lorelai chuckled.
"Funny? When you couldn´t say which of your kid is which?" he asked confused.
Lorelai just grinned and leaned in for another kiss when the doorbell rang.
"Oh, noooo!" she said and Luke groaned and pushed her a bit forward that he could stand up.
He had just opened the door when Patty, Babette, Taylor, Kirk, Lulu, Mrs. Kim, Lane and the Troubadour walked into the house and straight to Lorelai.
"And, darling? What do we get?" Patty asked.
"WE? Have you told them about the appointment today?" Luke asked and locked his arms in front of his chest.
"It might have slipped that we have an appointment today and that we maybe know the sex of the babies afterwards!" Lorelai smiled apologetically.
"Don´t grill us here!" Babette pressed.
"Yes, tell us! My mother expects me at home in three minutes for lunch. Otherwise she will lock me in my room again and I´m not allowed to see Lulu. She´s so strict since I moved back in with her!" Kirk said.
"We will tell you as much as we told Rory and Lorelai´s parents: Nothing! We know, that´s enough! I don´t need your opinion at all! And now: Out! All of you!" Luke said grumpy as always, Lorelai just chuckled on the couch.
"That´s typical. But I can´t guarantee that your sons or daughters or whatever you will get, will get the right school-uniform by the time they´ll come to school. Maybe then your son will have to wear a skirt.." Taylor said.
"We have no school uniforms in Stars Hollow, Taylor!" Luke stated.
"Well. Maybe we will have then..!" Taylor tried, but Luke interrupted him, because he took him by the shoulders and dragged him to the front-door, then yelled
"Out!" to the rest, who didn´t found the courage to argue with him. When he closed the door and walked back into the living-room Lorelai just wiped away her tears from laughing so hard.
"You should have seen Taylors face when you took him by the shoulders. I think he thought that now you´re gonna throw him off the roof or something!"
" This town is full of lunatics! Every freakin´ meter of it! And why the hell did you tell them anything? Are enjoying it that they will drive me crazy with their questions?" Luke ranted and paced from side to side in the living-room.
"Oh, my poor baby, come here!" she laughed and held out her hand.
"Don´t call me that!" he grumbled but took her hand and sat behind her.
"Take a deep breath and then go upstairs and bring me my screaming-one. I want to cuddle him a little bit while he can´t kick me. I don´t want him to feel neglected."
"You´re right we have to pay attention that that won´t happen." Luke said while he walked towards the staircase.
"Look who is already awake again!" Luke said when he came back down with William in his arms.
"You´re awake and you weren´t crying. See, you can be such a nice boy if you want to." she said to William and took him. She sat him on her legs, which she lay straight on the couch, while she leaned her back against Luke´s chest again. She pulled up her sweater, then took one of Williams hands and stroked over her belly with it.
"See Will, in here are your two siblings. They can already hear you. Can you say: Hello Laila MelodyI´m your big brother and I will beat you up if you play with my toys! Or: This is me, Sara Emily, I´m the big boy who will cut all your dolls hair, just to tease you!"
"Really nice ideas you´re telling him about!" Luke sighed and drew some circles on her skin with his fingers. William took his index-finger and held it, then looked at Luke and smiled, as if he had understood what his mother had told him.
