Author's Note: Thank you all for the reviews! It was a very nice surprise and I must say, really encouraged me to continue this story, btw, Severien: yes! That's exactly what I was thinking too! This is a new chapter for both Luke & Lorelai.

I'm Pregnant

Main Characters: Luke/Lorelai

Chapter Two: Luke watches soap operas?

"This town needs a hobby," Luke grumbled as he entered the house he shared with Lorelai carrying a bag from Doose's Market.

"What happened now?" Lorelai asked, coming down the stairs, ready for a Luke rant.

"No less than thirty people came up to me asking 'how do you feel, Luke? You're going to be a daddy!' Nosy people," Luke complained.

"They're not nosy, Luke, they care. They're happy for us."

"They all need to get a life," he replied, "if you ask me."

Lorelai moved closer and he wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her softly. "How are you doing? Haven't gotten sick again, have you?" he asked, concern etched onto his face.

"Nah, I'm hungry though," she answered, moving away to peer into the bag he dropped on the table. "Whatcha get?"

"Fruit. We didn't have any in the house."

"Oooh, pretty fruit." She pulled out a red apple and polished it on her blouse. "You know, I ate a lot of fruit when I was pregnant with Rory," she told him before taking a big bite.

"Good," Luke said, as he emptied the bag and took it over to the sink to wash. "What are we doing tonight?"

"Sookie invited us over for dinner to celebrate the baby."

"Have you told your folks the news yet?"

Lorelai groaned. "No, not yet. I guess I'll tell them eventually but I just want to savor this before they get all judgmental on me."

"You think they'll freak out?" Luke asked. "We're married."

Lorelai gave him a look. "This is Emily and Richard Gilmore, Luke. Of course, they'll freak out."

"Good point." Luke nodded, as he placed the fruit in the refrigerator. "Well, it's up to you when you want to tell them."

"Did you call anyone?"

"Like who? The whole town already knows."

"Your sister and Jess," Lorelai reminded him.

"I don't have Jess' new number and Liz, well, I didn't think to call her."

"We'll call her later," Lorelai told him, "now go clean up. I don't want to be late, I'm still hungry."

The phone rang as Luke hurried upstairs. Checking the caller-id, she saw Kirk's name. She let the machine pick it up and listened to the message.

"Hi Luke, Lorelai, this is Kirk. I just wanted to let you know about my new endeavor. Baby-proofing by Kirk. I'll do your whole house for only $50 a room. Give me a call if you're interested. Good-bye."

An hour later...

Luke and Lorelai walked over to Sookie and Jackson's and were met by four-year-old Davey. "Auntie Lorelai, Uncle Luke!"

"Hi, Davey!" Lorelai knelt down to hug him. She saw two-year-old Martha toddling behind him.

"Unka Uke!" She couldn't quite say her 'L's but flung herself at Luke who lifted her up in the air.

"Where's mommy?" Lorelai asked Davey.

"Inside cooking," he answered, pulling her arm toward the house. "Come on!"

Sookie came to the door. "Davey, honey, don't pull Lorelai like that, you're going to hurt her."

Davey let go immediately. "I'm sorry."

Lorelai's heart melted when she saw his little face crumple. "Oh, sweetie, it's okay. You didn't hurt me." She took his hand again. "Come on, let's go inside."

Once they were seated in the living room, Sookie began cooing. "Oh, this is so fantastic! You're going to have a baby! A baby!"

"I know!" Lorelai exclaimed.

Jackson walked out of the kitchen. "Hey, you too! I heard the news! Congratulations!" He bear-hugged Lorelai and shook Luke's hand gruffly.

Turning to Sookie, he reminded her, "your chops are simmering."

Sookie jumped and ran to the kitchen. Lorelai followed, leaving the men with the kids.

Later...

After dinner, and after the kids were put to bed, the foursome sat in the living room talking.

"Okay, we haven't talked about names yet," Sookie said, settling into the overstuffed armchair.

"Sookie! It's too early to think about names!" Lorelai laughed.

"It's never too early to think about names," Sookie replied. "Whatever you choose, it has to start with an 'L'."

"Why?" Luke asked, with a frown. "Just because our names do?"

"Yes, and Rory's too," Sookie reminded him, "well, Rory starts with an 'R' but her full name is 'Lorelai' so yeah, this baby has to have an 'L' name too."

"Oh jeez." Luke rolled his eyes. "That's just too cute."

Sookie threw a pillow at him. "Stop it. It is cute." Suddenly, she had a thought. "Ooh, what if you have twins! You'll have to come up with two names!"

"I once had a dream I was pregnant with twins," Lorelai told her.

"I remember that," Luke said, "what were those crazy names you thought up?"

"At first it was going to be 'Sid & Nancy' but then I changed it to 'Leopold & Leob."

Sookie giggled. "That's funny." Another idea hit her. "Ooh! I know! 'Lloyd & Lucy'!"

"No," Luke chimed in. "No kid of mine is going to be named after General Hospital characters."

The other three stared at him quizzically. "What?" he asked.

Lorelai smiled. "How did you know 'Lloyd & Lucy' were General Hospital character names?"

Luke blinked. "Everybody knows that."

"No, everybody knows about 'Luke & Laura', but only the fans know that 'Lloyd & Lucy' were their aliases," Lorelai corrected him.

Sookie started giggling again. "Luke watches General Hospital."

"I do not watch General Hospital," Luke growled. Turning to Lorelai, he said, "You can jump in anytime."

"Hey, if I had known you watched GH, I would have watched with you," she told him.

"I do not watch General Hospital," Luke repeated, "if you must know, my sister was watching it years ago and I may have caught a few shows once in awhile, if I was in the same room."

"Sure, Luke," Sookie was still giggling.

"What's wrong with watching General Hospital?" Jackson asked. "I love that show."

After a beat, they all burst into uncontrollable laughter.

(A/N: this goes without saying but I do not hold any rights to Gilmore girls nor General Hospital. I'm just a fan of both shows. With that being said, please review now.)
