Disclaimer: I don't own 'em…wish I did...

Author's Note: So yeah, sorry its been way too long, but I got busy and then I had school and I finally decided to continue it, even though the new season has already started…And yes I know Sookie's kid's name is Martha, but since I already called her Kaylee, I figured I'd just stick with it so it doesn't screw up the continuity of the story. So yeah…here's the next part, hope ya like it, Leave some reviews please and I'll try to get the next part up semi-soon.

As Sookie hung up the phone, she asked herself if she had done the right thing. Yes, Lorelai deserved to know about Luke dating someone, but maybe it would have been better if Sookie had told her the whole truth, not just enough to get her to come home.

Then again, I don't want it to be me who she blames for it…What am I talking about…Lorelai's my best friend, she deserves to know what she's coming back to…

Sookie was about to pick up the phone and call Loreali back when Jackson walked in with Kaylee.

"So you talked to her?"

Sookie nodded as she took her daughter from Jackson.

"Yeah, but I only told her Luke was dating someone else….I didn't say who or anything like that…"

"Sookie!"

Jackson gave her a disapproving look.

"You should have told her everything…she deserves to know…"

Sookie's anger finally erupted and she interrupted Jackson in a harsh whisper so as to not wake the baby.

"Deserves to know what? That Luke is back with the one girl who he could actually love more than Lorelai, the first girl that he ever loved, the girl who broke his heart, the girl who he waited on and dated for years and years?"

Jackson nodded.

"Yes, she deserves to know that. As it is, she's coming in here thinking that whoever Luke is dating is just some woman. If she knew it was Rachel…she should be prepared."

Jackson handed the phone back to Sookie.

"Call her, tell her everything."

"Everything? Even…"

"Yes Sookie, Lorelai should know that Luke has a son."

Luke was in his apartment, watching Hunter sleep. Hunter, his son Hunter. A son he didn't even know he had until Rachel had showed up in town a month ago with the 4 year old in tow. She said she had heard that he and Lorelai had broken up, and had decided that now was the time to tell him that when she had left years ago, she hadn't been alone. Hunter had been born in India where Rachel was doing a photo shoot for a magazine. As soon as he was born, anyone who knew Luke could tell Hunter was his son. The little boy had dark hair, curly like Rachel's but the same color as Luke's, and his eyes were the same light blue as his father's. AS soon as Rachel's parents had seen their grandson, they knew that he could only be a product of "that nice boy you used to date in high school". They had insisted she needed to tell Luke, saying it was his right to know, but by the time she had gotten up the courage to ask, Luke was married to Nicole.

At this point in Rachel's story, Luke had asked how she had found out all this stuff about his life while living hundreds of miles away. Rachel had told him that she was exchanging emails with Kirk, the only person she trusted with her secret because he had no friends to tell.

But then she had heard he had broken off his engagement with Lorelai, or she had broken it off with him, and Rachel had taken the first plane to Hartford. She decided it was now time for Luke to meet his son.

And that was how Luke now came to be standing over a 4 year-old replica of himself, sleeping in Jess' old bed. The little boy had known who he was as soon as he saw him because apparently Rachel had shown him pictures of his dad frequently. And while Hunter was still shy around him, he was beginning to warm up and had even called Luke dad on occasion.

Rachel and he had fallen into their old ways, finding comfort in the past and the way they used to date and love each other. They had been in town for a couple of months now, and Luke had finally convinced Rachel to move into the apartment with him instead of staying at a hotel. He was happy she had said yes. Now he got to see his little boy whenever he wanted, he could watch him sleep, watch him wake up…It was so amazing to Luke that him and Rachel had created this perfect little person, it almost made him forget how much he had wanted a child with someone else. Almost.

Sookie couldn't do it. She tried to pick up the phone again and again, but she couldn't make herself hurt Lorelai like that. And hurt Loreali it would. Sookie couldn't imagine what she would think if she found out Jackson had an illegitimate child with an old girlfriend and because Sookie had left, the girlfriend felt now was a good time to tell him. She couldn't imagine coming home to find Jackson living a life he had always wanted, even if it was with the wrong girl. Lorelai would be devastated, and Sookie couldn't force herself to be the one to do that to her friend. At least not until Lorelai was home in Stars Hollow where Sookie could make sure she didn't do anything stupid.

So that's why she found herself pacing her front porch, glancing anxiously at Main Street for the cab that would signify Lorelai's arrival. She had called earlier to say she was at the airport and getting a cab to bring her to Stars Hollow. She had wanted to go straight to Luke's and "kick some flannel-stealing booty", but Sookie had convinced her to stop by and see Kaylee and talk with her a little more first. She had decided that while she hadn't wanted to tell Lorelai about Luke over the phone, she had to do it before she walked into the diner to be greeted by her ex-fiancée and his instant family. Being a best friend sucked sometimes.

She was back. After almost 5 months away, she was finally home. She would have been home sooner, but she had to wait for Mike to get a replacement for her and it had taken almost 2 months to find another woman who wanted to get away from her old life. Lorelai would have warned her to stick it out with her significant other, but she needed to get home and this lady was her ticket out.

Stars Hollow looked the same. The one stop light was still needlessly there, the gazebo still sat in the center of town; they were setting up for another festival. Lorelai thought for a second…It was February, meaning it was the Valentine's Day carnival. She had always liked this festival, it was all pink and red and last year she had even convinced Luke to go on the spinning heart ride with her. Of course he had complained the whole time, but Lorelai knew that he was really enjoying himself.

Thinking of Luke made her glance at the diner. It looked the same too, but Lorelai knew that the person inside of it was different. If he was dating someone else, if he had truly given up on them, then she didn't know what to expect.

As the cab pulled up in front of Sookie's house, she could see her best friend pacing. It was good to see that some people stayed the same.

"Long time no see."

"Do…Wha…Huh? Lorleai! OMG Loreali!"

"Sookie! It's so good to see you!"

The women hugged and Sookie began to lead Loreali into the house.

"You won't believe how big Kaylee has gotten. She's crawling around like crazy and Jackson's already way over protective…He won't even let her have play dates with other boys."

Lorelai smiled as she was led into the house. It was obvious having two kids was a handful by the state of the living room. Toys and games were strewn out over the floor and Lorelai wasn't sure where the couch ended and the mound of toys began. Sitting in the middle of the wreckage were two little mounds.

"Davey, look who came to visit! It's auntie Loreali"

"Hey Davey!"

Lorelai reached down and picked up the smiling toddler as Sookie swooped down on the other child.

"Wow…she has gotten so big!"

Sookie smiled down at the little girl in her arms. She was all rosy cheeks and big brown eyes. She was like a mini Sookie with a splash of Jackson.

"Yeah, and she loves Davey."

"I bet"

Lorelai smiled down at the little boy in her arms, trying not to imagine whether she and Luke might have been expecting one of these if she had stuck around.

She pictured a little blue-eyed boy with Luke's smile and her dark blue eyes. In her mind he was wearing a little plaid flannel shirt and a dark blue baseball cap that hid all but his longest curls from view. She let herself have this fantasy for a bit longer until Jackson came to get the kids for lunch and her and Sookie sat down on the invisible couch.

Lorelai decided to skip all pretenses of conversation.

"So what's she like?"

"Huh?"

Sookie wasn't expecting Lorelai to start right in on the dreaded topic, but it seemed Lorelai had other ideas.

"Well…um..okay honey, don't be mad…"

"What? Oh gosh, she's pretty isn't she? She's pretty and nice and likes sports and outdoors and flannel and fishing…"

"Now wait wait a second…She…well, you could say she's Elle MacPherson pretty…"

"Elle Mac…Oh my god…it's Rachel."

Sookie watched as her friend's face fell, knowing that what she had to tell her next would hurt her even more.

"There's more"

Lorelai suddenly flashed back to that night Luke had told her he was married and he had kept saying there's more. Only here, Lorelai couldn't figure out what more Sookie could possibly say.

"He's…Rachel came back with a boy."

"Wha…huh?"

"Rachel was…she was pregnant hun, when she left 4 years ago, she took Luke's son with her."

"Luke has a son? No, he can't. He can't have a son with her…We're engaged…"

Sookie looked at her friend in despair. If only she could get her to understand.

"Lorelai, you left him. You left him with a note. In his mind, the engagement was over. I know, he came over to my house a lot in the next couple of weeks. He didn't understand why you had left. It tore him up inside Lorelai. And then Rachel came back into town with his son…He has a son. And he's adorable. He's like a mini Luke."

Sookie stopped when she saw Lorelai's face. Her best friend looked so broken up inside, the only person it reminded her of was Luke when Lorelai had left him.

"I…I have to go."

Lorelai stood up and headed to the door, and by the time Sookie had gotten to the porch, she had disappeared around the corner towards her house.

She made it a block before she had to stop. She couldn't breath; air wasn't getting into her lungs. She felt like her whole world had come crashing down around her. In a way, it had. Her fiancée was a father and dating someone else. Maybe the only person he loved more than her. And she was scared. Scared she would loose him. Scared she already had.

So yeah, there's the next part…hope it wasn't too angsty, and if it was, I really don't care, cuz I like angst and if no one likes it, then I'll just stop writin…but I hope you liked it…leave a review!
