Previously:

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a different woman telling her daughter to come to her. It wasn't just any woman though. It was Lorelai, his Lorelai. He hadn't seen her since that afternoon year's ago, and it was all coming back to him.

Here she was four years later. She had a little girl with her. She was about three years old. That was Lorelai' daughter. That was his daughter. That was their daughter. She looked just like Lorelai and Lorelai hadn't aged a bit. In a word to describe her, Breathtaking was all that came to mind. Lorelai looked up from her daughter and saw him. The only thing she could think of to say was "Luke"

"Lorelai, how are you" Luke wanted to act as calmly as he possibly could.

"I'm, I'm just um fine a how… how about you?" You could tell how nervous Lorelai was in her voice. She also couldn't keep still and her eyes were huge with shock

"Can't complain it's good to see you, you look good" And he wasn't lying either. She hadn't aged one bit. Lorelai still had the beautiful bright blue eyes and the thick dark brown curly hair and her skin was still pale like porcelain, just the way he remembered her.

"Thank you, um it's good to see you too, um you look good too." Lorelai wasn't lying either, all the feelings she had inside her when she saw in all those years ago were coming back, they made her dizzy and lightheaded. She felt like a teenager in love, a feeling she hadn't felt since she had last saw him, a feeling she never thought she could have again. She had to put those thoughts aside, she had to tell him about Laurie, she had to tell him quickly because she was coming this way, she couldn't freak him out. This wasn't the way he should find out about his daughter. Not like this, in the middle of town, in front of all these people. He would freak out. But she's too late because Laurie was running towards her.

"Mommy can I go over there and play on that swing set?"

"Sure you can sweetie"

Laurie was about to go when she looked at Luke. He looked familiar but she wasn't sure where she knew him from. She stopped suddenly and said, "Who are you" Lorelai was about to jump in but Luke beat her to the punch.

"I'm a old friend of your moms, and what's your name?"

"Laurie"

"That's a pretty name, is it short for anything?"

"It's short for Lauren, what's your name?"

"Luke"

"Really?" Laurie got all excited once she heard his name. She realized how she knew him. She remembered him from the pictures in a box that Lorelai kept full of mementos mostly things reminding her of Luke. She saw some of the pictures once and asked Lorelai if he was her father. Lorelai said yes. Laurie then asked why she never saw him and Lorelai said it was because he didn't have an opportunity to but that one day he would get the chance. She also told her that he loved her very much. Laurie would ask about him all the time and Lorelai would tell her stories. Now Laurie could finally meet him. Her wish had come true.

"Yes, why have you heard of me?" Luke wanted to know why she was so excited to see a man she never heard of?"

"Yes, mommy talks about you all the time?"

"She does?" Luke then turned his attention to Lorelai who was blushing

"Laurie why don't you leave me and Luke alone and you can go over to the swings, I promise you two will have plenty of opportunities to talk."

"Okay mommy, see ya later Luke" Laurie then ran over to the swings and Luke turned his attention to Lorelai who looked too scared and nervous.

"Laurie seems like a good kid"

Lorelai didn't know how to tell him, how do you tell someone there a father, how do you ease into a conversation like that.

"She's yours" Lorelai stated

There's a way.

"She's mine?" Luke looked at her, not showing any emotion.

"Yes."

"You're sure?" His facial expression not having changed

"Absolutely 100 sure."

"Alright then" He was acting relatively calm, not at all the way she imagined

"That's it, no yelling, no lecture, nothing?"

"Yeah"

"Your okay with this?"

"Yeah"

"You're sure?"

"Yes"

"You're not freaking out?"

"Not at all"

"Wow um okay well um why don't we go over there and we can talk about all of this "

"Okay then" Luke and Lorelai then walked over to a park bench near where Laurie was playing. Lorelai was in shock over what had just taken place and Luke's reaction and Luke was relived. He was never 100 sure whether Lorelai had been pregnant when she left and he had never known what had happened to her and their child. He was glad to see that both were okay. He knew he had made the right decision all those years ago after seeing them.

It was about a week and a half after Lorelai had returned to Stars Hollow. Things were going a lot better than she thought they would have. Luke hadn't yelled at her for not telling him about Laurie, Luke and Laurie had developed a relationship, and Laurie was starting to think of Luke as her father. She had even started calling him dad and you could tell by watching Luke how much it meant to him. Although Lorelai was still confused by his reaction she was glad with the way things had turned out. She was happy that there was nothing to worry about right now and that no problems needed to be solved. She knew that there would be soon because in a few weeks she would have to go back to New York and her and she couldn't just cut Luke off from Laurie, she couldn't do that to him. Not again, not after introducing him to her. She was sitting there on a bench across the street from Patty's studio waiting for the story hour to end. That's where Laurie was. She begged Lorelai to let her go and she decided to let her go after she spoke with Patty about her story. No way was she letting her three-year-old daughter hear a story about Milton Burrow's penis. She was sitting there now looking through some files for work when Luke came over to her. Things were starting to go back to normal for them. They weren't ackward and stiff. Lorelai was grateful for that.

"Hey"

"Hi"

"Where's Laurie?" He said as he sat down next to her.

"Over at Patty's listing to the story hour" Luke gave her a questioning glance. "Don't worry I already asked Patty what the story was and it has nothing to do with Milton Burrow or any other man's penis.

"Good, I don't want my daughter listening to that kind of stuff" Lorelai then gave him a sweet smile when she heard this which he immediately noticed. "What are you smiling at me like that?"

"You called her your daughter, that's all, it's nice to hear you call her your daughter"

"Yeah well why shouldn't I, I mean she is my daughter and she's a good kid, I'm proud of her ya know."

"Yeah I know."

"I was wondering actually how she got the name Laurie"

"That was the name of the nurse I had when she was born"

"Why did you name her after a nurse?"

"Well she was the only there with me" Lorelai looked down, she couldn't look at Luke after remembering going through that alone.

"You went through that all alone?"

"Well I mean I lived in New York so Sookie couldn't be there and I didn't want my parents to come near me and Laurie was born during the time Rory and I weren't speaking, and you didn't know so yeah I did it all alone."

"I'm so sorry" You could see the remorse in Luke's face.

"Don't be, I mean you didn't know, how could you have been there, besides I didn't want anyone seeing me like that anyway, it's not exactly flattering." Lorelai was trying to lighten the mood

Luke buried his head in his hands, "You don't understand"

"Don't understand what"

"I knew"

"Knew what?"

"I knew you were pregnant," he said, as he looked her straight in the eyes.

"WHAT!"

"I knew"

"How did you know?" you could hear the emotion in Lorelai's voice

"I put all the clues together, the throwing up, the loose clothes, you lost your balance and practically fell into my arms and the fact that you dropped a reminder for a doctors appointment helped too"

"So you knew all along"

"Yes"

"That's why when you first saw Laurie you weren't shocked, it was because you knew all along"

"Yes"

"You knew wall along and you didn't do anything about it" the anger in her voice was rising.

"Hey, don't blame this all on me you never told me"

"Yeah because I was scared, but you knew, you could have done something about but you didn't you just left me, you left me and you left Laurie."

"Hey you weren't the only one that was scared, I was too, I thought I was doing the right thing by not coming after you, I thought if I did you would push me away and I would never see you or my child ever again, I couldn't risk that."

"I have to go"

"Lorelai wait"

"I'll see you later" and with that she was gone, Luke knew this wasn't the last time he would see her but it brought back so many memories, memories of all the hurt they had once experienced but this time it was different, this time they had both hurt each other so much it didn't even compare to before.

Next: Lorelai goes to Luke to make up after there last fight and Luke tells her about what he would have done if she had told him she was pregnant and hadn't left. Lorelai tells him why she left and also says why she wouldn't have gone along with his plans.
