Lorelei rolled over to face Luke. "I know something is bothering you and I think I might know what. Just talk to me," Luke said. Lorelei slowly sat up and crossed her legs underneath her. She started to cry and Luke pulled her into his arms. "You can tell me whatever it is," he reassured her. "I…think…I…might…be…pregnant," she managed to get out between sobs. Luke gently ran his palm up and down her back. "Why are you so sad about that?" he asked. She turned her face up and looked at him. "You're not?" she questioned, "I thought you'd be mad at me." "Why would I be mad at you?" he said giving her a smile. "So you're not mad or upset or anything?" she asked quizzically. "I'm actually kind of excited to be dad," he answered. "Really?" she said. "Absolutely," he reassured her.
Dr. Brennon's office
Luke pulled into a parking space and cut the engine. "Well we're here," Lorelei said nervously. She slowly opened the car door and got out. Luke and Lorelei walked into the waiting room. "You can wait here," she told him, "I just have to go check in." She walked up to the registration desk. "Hi, I'm Lorelei Gilmore, here for a pregnancy test," she told the receptionist. "Okay you just need to fill out these forms and a nurse will be with you shortly," replied the receptionist. Lorelei walked over to where Luke was sitting and took a seat next to him. She quickly completed the forms and then started leafing through a magazine. "Are you nervous?" she asked Luke. "No, are you?" he replied. "A little, I don't know if I'm ready for a baby," she admitted. "It's okay. We'll get through this together. "What are people going to say? My second kid without being married," Lorelei said as her eyes welled with tears. Luke reached over and gave her hand a squeeze. "It doesn't matter what people think. Besides we'll be getting married," he reassured her. "I'm so glad you're here," she said, "It'll be nice to have someone for this baby. Christopher was never there for Rory. At least I know you'll be there. Right?" "Of course. I'll always be there," he said leaning over to kiss her.
"Lorelei Gilmore!" called a short plump nurse. Luke and Lorelei got up and followed the nurse to room 3. "Dr. Brennon will be with you momentarily. I'm Laura, I just need to ask some questions," Laura explained. After Laura left, Luke and Lorelei were left alone in the room. Lorelei changed into her paper gown as she had been told to do so by Laura. A few minutes later a soft knock came at the door. "Come in," Lorelei and Luke said simultaneously. "Good afternoon, I'm Dr. Brennon," said the tall, aged doctor. "I'm Lorelei and this is my fiancé Luke," Lorelei explained. "Okay I see you're here for a pregnancy test," Dr. Brennon said looking down at her charts. "Yes," Lorelei replied. Dr. Brennon took a blood sample and left the room promising to be back momentarily.
"So do you think it's positive?" Lorelei asked Luke. "I hope so," Luke answered. "You really want a baby?" Lorelei questioned. "Yeah, I do," Luke said sincerely. "Even though it's kind of bad timing? I mean I figured we'd get married first," Lorelei said. "Yeah well things happen," Luke said shrugging his shoulders.
Twenty minutes later Dr. Brennon reentered the room. "So you two will have new bundle of joy in about seven and a half months!" Dr. Brennon told them. Lorelei looked over at Luke and saw that he was tearing up. He looked down at her and smiled. "We're gonna have a baby!" Lorelei said excitedly. The only thing Luke could muster was a smile and a hand squeeze.
"So we should start shopping for baby stuff. You know a crib, stroller, clothes…" Lorelei trailed off as they left the doctor's office. "Whoa slow down," Luke laughed. "We have quite a while to start worrying about that."
