Default Chapter
Lorelai's POV
"Hello"
"Lorelai!"
"Jackson? What's going on?"
"Sookie's having the baby, now!"
"Oh! Wow! I'll...I'll be right there!" I said hanging up the phone.
"Hel-"
"Rory!"
"Mom! Wha-?"
"Sookie's having the baby!" I said then hung up. I ran out of the house and jumped in the car. The baby's coming! Oh crap! I have plans tonight with Luke!
"Luke's." he said gruffly. God, he sounds so sexy when he talks like that. "Hey, Sookie went into labor so I'm on my way to the hospital. I'm sorry I don't think I'll be able to make it tonight. "Oh okay. Hey, do you want me to come with you to the hospital?" He asked. "Actually that would be great. I'll come pick you up." I told him.
"Okay bye."
"Bye."
Wow I can't believe Luke's coming to the hospital. Last time we went to the hospital he looked like he was going to pass out.
(In The Diner)
"Hey!" Luke called to me across the diner. "Hey" I said back. I walked across the diner and gave him a kiss. "Are you sure you want to come with me to the hospital? I mean not that I'm complaining about the pleasure of your company but, correct me if I'm wrong, last time I saw you at the hospital you looked like you were you going to pass out." I said concerned. "I'll be fine, but I appreciate your concern." He told me. "Okay so, coffee?" I said eagerly. "Nice change of subject there." He told me. "Here." Giving me the cup of coffee. "Okay we better hit the road Jack!" I said. Leading Luke out of the door.
(At The Hospital)
As soon as th elevator doors opened we heard a crash followed by, "I'm okay...yeah, really!...Jackson, I'm fine!" I looked at Luke and chuckled. "Well now we know where Sookie is." He said with a smirk. I took his hand and led him into Sookie's room, where Jackson and Rory were helping Sookie back into bed. "Hey Sookie!" I called. "Lorelai! Luke! I'm so glad you guys are here!" She said with a broad grin stretching across her face. "What happened?" Luke asked pointing to a broken vase on the floor. "Oh. Well, I was walking around to induce labor and I heard something. Then I turned and then the next thing you know there's a broken vase on the floor. You kinda had to be there." She said. "Oh. Sounds like it." Luke replied with an odd look on his face. "Are you ok Luke?" Rory asked. "Huh? Me? Oh, I'm fine." He said unconvincingly. "You sure? Maybe we should go and get some lunch." I suggested. "Yeah that's a good idea. Are you gonna be okay if we leave?" Luke asked Sookie. "Oh It'll be awhile before this sucker pops out." She replied. "Rory do you want to eat lunch with us?" I asked. "No. I had lunch with Logan before I came and am actually full." She replied. "Wow. This has got to be a first." I said shocked. "Alright let's go. We'll be right back." I said too loudly.
(In the Food Court)
"I am soooo hungry!" I whined. "I expect nothing less." Luke replied. Oh yes! They have burgers! Hmm those apples over there look pretty tasty. "Hey what do you want?" He asked. "Umm...A cheeseburger, some fires, a piece of chocolate cake, an apple, and some coffee." I told him at super speed. "Okay...cheeseburger, fries, cake, apple..." He looked at me questioningly. "Do you seriously want an apple?" He asked in disbelief. "Yes." I said simply. "And don't forget my coffee!" I added. " of course." He said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Thanks for lunch." I said. "Your welcome." He told me with a small smile. Sookie is so lucky. I wish I could have everything like she has. "You know I think it's great." I said dazed. "What's great?" Luke asked with great intrigue. "Sookie." I said. "Having a family, with someone she loves." Luke flashed me that special smile of his. The real one. The one he only uses around certain people. " What?" I asked grinning. " Nothing." He said looking flustered, his face plastered with a grin equal to mine.
We sat that way for a while just grinning at each other. Thar is until Luke said, "I need to tell you something." He said seriously. "What is it?" I asked a little concerned. " I bought the Twickam house."
