A/N: Thank you to everyone that has reviewed. This story seems to have taken on a mind of its own, but I guess thats a good thing. Thanks to Elizabeth Bennent for her help. Sorry this chapter is so short, but I wanted to get something out to you.

Disclamer: I don't own them, just playing with them for a bit.

"I need to get up. I have to help Jess open the diner," Luke tried to pull his hand away from her so he could get out of bed. Lorelai tightened her grip on his hand. She wasn't letting him get away that easily.

"The diner can wait. Tell me what's going on with you?" Lorelai pulled his hand to her chest, wrapping her other arm around it.

"Nothing's going on with me. Can I have my hand back now?" Luke tried to pull his hand away again, but Lorelai wasn't budging.

"No. Not until you tell me what's wrong and don't tell me nothing's wrong, I know something's bothering you. Just tell me please," Lorelai's eyes were filled with unshed tears as she looked up at him. Her fear mixed with over active hormones was really starting to get to her.

"Hey it's ok," Luke used his free hand to wipe away the few tears that slipped down her cheek. "It's stupid really. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm just worried you know? I mean I've never done anything like this before. The closest thing was Jess and we both know how that turned out. I just don't want to screw this up. I can't screw this up."

"Hey, listen to me," Lorelai put her hand to Luke's cheek forcing him to look into her eyes. "You will be an amazing father, you already are. Look at Rory, you helped me raise her. You were there for us, no matter what. That's what a father is. Yes things didn't go all that well with Jess the first time, but look at him now. He came back looking for your help, he didn't go to his mom or his dad. He came to you for help, because he trusts you and he knew that you would be there for him no matter what. This baby is lucky to have you." Lorelai took his hand placing it over the slight bump of her stomach. "I am lucky to have you, hell this whole damn town is lucky to have you in their lives. Don't worry ok?"

"Ok," Luke reached up with his free hand to wipe away the tears that were streaming down her cheeks. Before leaning in to brush his lips across hers, his tongue running over her lips tasting the salt of her tears. They stayed that way for awhile, just holding onto each other. Their hands were intertwined over where their child lay, growing and thriving.

Luke didn't go into the diner that morning, instead he called Jess and asked him to open. Luke and Lorelai spent the rest of the morning in bed until the need to refuel, managed to draw them downstairs in search of food.

Over the next two weeks things went back to normal, for the most part. Lorelai had managed to get out of Friday night dinners not yet ready to face the elder Gilmore's. It wasn't that she was ashamed of the fact that she was once again pregnant and not married, but engaged this time at least. No it was that, she just didn't want them to take away her happiness they always seemed to have a way of sucking away her joy. She knew that she needed to tell them at some point, but not now she gave her self two weeks to prepare.

Before she knew it she was standing in front of the elder Gilmore's home, with Rory at her side. Luke had offered to come with her, but after everything that had happened she decided to protect him a little while longer.

"You ready?" Rory asked looking over at Lorelai.

Lorelai glanced down at her outfit, sure that Emily would make a comment about it as soon as she came through the door. She had chosen a light blue top and a black skirt the top was loose enough that the slight bulge to her stomach was hidden well. She was about thirteen weeks now and she was showing more than would be expected, but not enough to give it away yet.

"As I'll ever be," Lorelai reached up to ring the door bell, the door swung open before she had a chance to pull her hand back.

"What took you so long? I have been waiting for you to ring the bell," Lorelai and Rory walked into the house taking off their coats and handing them to the maid.

"Why didn't you just open the door if you knew we were there?" Lorelai asked following Rory and Emily into the living room.

"You always wait until your company rings the door bell. What on earth are you wearing?" Emily looked over at Lorelai for the first time since she had removed her jacket.

"Clothes," Lorelai tugged at the hem of her shirt trying to make it a little longer. Hoping that it wouldn't give away her secret yet.

"Yes I can see that, they are obviously to big. That top looks like a maternity top it is so big."

"Funny you should say that, well maybe not funny,"

"What on earth are you babbling about?" Emily handed Lorelai a martini, which she sat down on the coffee table with out even taking a sip.

"Is there something wrong with your drink Lorelai?" Lorelai looked up to see Richard standing in the door way. Rory nudged her in the side with her elbow, leaning in to whisper in her ear. "Tell them," Lorelai sighed before turning back to her parents who were now seated on the sofa across from her. Oh God, why do I feel like I'm 16 again?

"Mom, Dad I have something to tell you," Lorelai played with the bottom of her shirt, picking at the loose fabric.

"Well spit it out, we don't have all night," Emily seemed to be losing her patience, not that she was really a patient person to begin with.

"I'm pregnant, getting married, and we just moved into a new house," Lorelai pushed the words past her lips as fast as possible. She said it all together to keep from losing her nerve.

"Say something," Lorelai demanded after a few minutes of silence had passed. She felt like her heart was going to explode if they didn't say something soon. That's when she realized why they weren't saying anything they didn't have anything to say. They weren't happy for here she could tell by the look of disappointment that had washed over both of their faces. Flashbacks of being sixteen alone and pregnant hit her hard, but this time it was different she wasn't alone she had Luke, Rory and a whole town that loved her and would support her even if her parents wouldn't.

"Come on Rory, we're leaving." Lorelai stood up pulling her most recent sonogram picture from her purse.

"This is your grandchild, if you can't except me and the choices I have made this will be the only time you will see him." Lorelai dropped the sonogram picture on the table before heading towards the door where Rory was waiting with her coat.

"Oh God, Richard what have we done?" Emily asked as she picked up the small picture looking at her newest grandchild. As tears slipped down her cheeks she knew that Lorelai wasn't making an ideal threat, she knew she had to fix this. She just didn't know how.

"Mom, are you ok?" Rory asked buckling her seat belt as, Lorelai shifted the car into reverse going a little bit to fast as she backed out of the drive way.

"I will be," Lorelai replied with a small smile. Rory didn't push her to talk she knew that she would when she was ready.

"Do you mind if we stop at Luke's? Your little brother is hungry."

"No, I'm starving." Rory knew that Lorelai really just wanted to see Luke and she wasn't going to deny her.

Lorelai walked into the diner she didn't care that it was packed with people. Her mind was set on one thing finding Luke. Finally she saw him come out of the kitchen with his arms full of food. She waited for him to deliver the food before launching her self at him, almost knocking him over. She quickly wrapped her arms around his waist pushing her face into his chest. As she let the tears fall, her body shaking with silent sobs. Luke wrapped his arms protectively around her body, looking over at Rory for an answer. Rory mouthed "Grandma and Grandpa" to him and it all made sense.

"Jess, I'm going home, close up if you guys can't handle it," Luke said to Jess as he walked out of the kitchen with his arms full of food.

"Rory are you coming?" Luke asked turning back to Rory once he realized she wasn't behind them.

"I think I'll stay here and help for awhile, you guys go ahead." Luke gave her a small nod before heading out the door. He knew that she was trying to give them some alone time, give him time to fix this.

Lorelai didn't say anything on the ride home, she just sat there staring out the window. Once home Luke got out opening the door for her, guiding her inside the house and straight up the stairs to their room. Lorelai sat heavily on the bed allowing Luke to help her change before slipping under the covers. Luke quickly stripped out of his flannel and jeans before slipping into bed next to her. It was only eight a clock, but he knew that she just needed him to be there with her right now.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Luke asked after a few minutes of silence, running his hand up and down her back.

"Not yet," Lorelai replied snuggling in closer to him, feeling her tense muscles start to relax under his touch.
