It was another twenty minutes before Lorelai left the Doctors Office. She now had to book an ultra sound, and let Luke know the news. She didn't know quiet how to do it. Run into the dinner and yell it on the top of her lungs, buy him a present of baby clothes. The excitement was rushing to her head, as her cell phone rang.
"Lorelai speaking".
"Lor, where are you? Are you coming today or not? We have been waiting for two hours now".
"Sookie". Lorelai laughed. "I won't be coming in today. You will have to take care of the construction work". She forgot about that yet again. That was twice in one day.
"Me? You know I can't run this mess".
"Its our mess, our soon to be Inn. You know how everything is meant to go, and I have some shopping I need to get done".
"Shopping? Your ditching me with these imported timbers for shopping?" Sookie couldn't believe this. Her best friend was leaving her high and dry.
"Yes. I am shopping for baby clothing".
"Jess is a bit old for that".
"I am aware of that Sookie".
"Your pregnant?"
"That's right".
"Your pregnant! Oh my god, your pregnant!" Sookie screamed into the phone, so loud that it made Lorelai jump back.
"Yes, and I haven't told Luke yet". She was smiling ear to ear. It was finally setting in. In less then nine month she would be a mother again. "So please keep this quiet".
"Oh I will. This makes up for everything. I will make sure everything is taken care of, you just relax and buy some really cute outfits".
"I plan too. I plan to waste all of Luke money on this. I will see you tomorrow". Lorelai hung up.
Lorelai had spent all day on her feet, and was finally glad when she fell upon her bed. Her purchases fell down around her, and she glanced at her clock. "Shit". She was meant to already be on her way to pick up Jess. Rushing out the door, Lorelai tripped on an old rug. She nearly fell to the floor, but managed to steady herself against the wall. Regaining her footing she wondered if perhaps she should go see the Doctor. It was just a small fall after all. It would have to wait now, Jess was waiting.
"Jess", she called as soon as she opened up the door. A boy turned around and smiled. There he was.
"Mommy", he ran into her open arms.
"How is my big boy today?"
"Good. We got to finger paint today. Mrs. William said she was going to hang them all up tomorrow, you want to come see?" He was already pulling her along to the paintings.
"This one is yours", she pointed. It didn't have a name on it, but she knew. Jess smiled and nodded.
"Its beautiful. Your already and artist". Jess blushed.
"Is it time to go? I wanna see Daddy. He promised that we would play catch today".
"It is. Just get your bag and we will be on our way".
"Yay", Jess screamed. Running over to the pigeon holes, he pulled out his Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles backpack, and then ran back to Lorelai. Jess grabbed her hand.
"See you next week", Mrs. Williams called.
"Thanks Sandy", Lorelai replied, as Jess waved his hand furiously at her.
