Lorelai is 5 months pregnant. It is getting quite obvious now, though Lorelai tried to hide it as best she could. She and Luke were set to be married in one month, and she had yet to tell her parents about the pregnancy or Luke's proposal. They had decided to tell them when they went to dinner that night. Lorelai was nervous; she knew her parents, especially her mother, would be mad at her for waiting such a long time to tell them. She tried not to thin about it as they drove to Hartford, and at least Rory and Luke would be there to back her up. She was wearing a ruffly shirt so as to make the growing bulge that was her stomach less obvious. When they arrived at the mansion, Rory was already in the living room telling her grandparents about her new job at the NY Times. When Lorelai entered the room Rory shot her a questioning glance. Lorelai nodded and Rory settled in for the ride.

"Hi Mom, Dad."

"Hello Lorelai. Interesting shirt you've got there."

"Oh… Yeah, about that. Could you two maybe sit down?"

Emily and Richard sit down. Emily looks worried.

"What's up Lorelai" Emily asks

"Uh, well, Luke and I have an announcement to make. Luke has proposed to me, we're getting married!" As she said this she was beaming. "Oh, and to make this complete, I'm pregnant."

"Well congratulations! Is that why you're wearing that crazy top? How far a long are you?" Exclaims Emily

"Uh… 5 months…" said Lorelai reluctantly

"What! 5 months? Why didn't you tell us?"

"There wasn't really time, we've been busy lately." Offered Luke

"Not time? You must be kidding me! Let me see, how much are you showing?"

Lorelai lifted her shirt to bare her bulging stomach. Emily gasps.

"Lorelai how could you not tell us? I know you claim that you didn't have enough time, but that's bullshit!" Emily's voice is rising with each word.

"Mom, calm down! We didn't tell you because I knew you'd react like this!"

"Oh so this is my fault!" Emily is practically screaming now.

"Yes, it is!" Lorelai is clearly mad now "Can't you ever see the happy side of things? Luke and I are going to have a child! We're getting married for god's sake! I think it's time to leave now Luke!" Lorelai stands up and Luke stands with her. Rory gets up as well, glaring at her grandmother. She puts an arm around her mom's shoulders and Luke is holding her other hand.

"Rory, wait…"

"No grandma, I'm going with Luke and Mom. They need me more and I don't think I could stay here after what just happened."

"Rory!"

"Goodbye grandma."

And with that Luke, Lorelai and Rory left. They barely made it through the door before Lorelai broke down in tears.

"Aw, Mom, don't listen to her. She's just being Emily." Rory tried to soothe her mother, but it wasn't really working.

"I know Hon, but that's what the problem is! She's always found the bad side of things!"

"Mom, Mom, its okay. You've got Luke and me and pretty much the entire town on your side. Just ignore them, okay?"

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Luke? Can we go get some coffee?"

"Lorelai, you know you can't have coffee while you're pregnant. We can get you decaf though."

"Decaf is fine, let's just go, please? Are you coming Rory?"

"No, I can't, I've got a paper due on Monday that I really need to work on. I could use the extra time." Rory looked sad as she said this, but Lorelai understood her daughter's needs.

"Okay sweetie. I'll see you sometime later then?"

"Yeah. And Mom?"

"Yeah Hon?"

"You'll be fine."

"I know; thanks." They hug quickly and then both go to their cars. Luke can still see the disappointment sitting restlessly on his soon-to-be wife's face. He hated to see her like this; her face was wracked with anguish, and so many other emotions. Sadness, fear, disappointment, they were all present there. He felt so helpless because there was nothing he could do. He knew comforting her was useless; she had to come to terms with this on her own time. They drove home in silence, and Lorelai went straight upstairs to bed when they got home. Luke stayed up and watched some TV. When he came upstairs, Lorelai was fast asleep, but he could see dried tears stained on her cheeks. After he got into bed, he leaned over and kissed her gently on the forehead. She stirred a little but didn't wake up. As he tried to fall asleep, he thought about what it would be like telling his parents they were expecting a child. He certainly hoped that they wouldn't react like Lorelai's had done. He couldn't live if they were like that. He finally drifted into an uneasy sleep, and was awakened by Lorelai jumping out of bed. He was confused at fist, but as he heard the gagging coming from the bathroom he finally clued in. Morning sickness. Of course. I thought she was over that by now. He went into the bathroom and saw Lorelai kneeling over the toilet. He sat down beside her and pulled her hair out of the way, just like he had done in the months before this. When she took a break, she leaned back against him and he massaged her shoulders. She sighed.

"I thought his was over ages ago Lor, what brought it back?"

"I don't know. Let's just hope it doesn't keep up, this wasn't as bad as it was before, it's probably something I ate."

"I hope so. Are you done now?"

"Yeah, can we go get some breakfast?"

"Sure Lor. I'll go get ready. Meet you at the Diner in ten?"

"See you there." Lorelai smiles. Luke kisses her cheeks as he gets up and leaves the room.

When Lorelai gets downstairs, she sees Rory sitting at a table.

"Hey kid! I thought you had a paper to write?" Calls Lorelai from the other side of the diner.

"Jeez Lorelai, I have customers here you know. Could ya keep it down?" says Luke from behind the counter

"Oops, sorry!" She stage whispers "Hey Rory, what are you doing here?"

"I hurried and stayed up all last night to finish it so I could come in and see you two… er… three." She says placing her hand on her mom's stomach. "Hey, hey, I feel it kicking!" The whole diner looks up when they hear this. Rory picks up her mom's hand and places it on her stomach where she had felt the baby kicking earlier. Babette and Patty are watching Lorelai expectantly.

"Hey, I feel it too!"

Hearing this, the entire crowd in the diner rushes over to Rory and Lorelai's table, demanding to feel the baby kicking. Rory is trying to calm them down and let her mother have some peace, but her efforts are fruitless. Luke sees the scene and rushes over.

"Okay everyone, you all need to go back to your tables and leave my wife alone! She's had a rough couple days and what she needs right now is some peace and quiet!"

"But Luke…" Starts Babette

"No buts! Lorelai, Rory, why don't you two go upstairs? I'll bring your breakfasts up when they're ready."

"Thanks Lukey." Lorelai kisses Luke's cheek

"Jeez, Lor. Just go upstairs, kay?"

"Thanks Luke. C'mon Mom, let's go." Rory gets up and pulls her mom after her. Babette glares at Luke as they leave. Luke just shrugs, then gets back to cleaning the counter.

A/N: I already know what gender the baby is going to be, and what the name is, and you'll find out in chapter 5 or 6. Sorry for the wait for the update, I have been fairly busy. Expect another chapter sometime this weekend.
