"You don't know him."
"Who's the father?" Lorelai was trying to stay calm.
"I told you. You don't know him."
"That wasn't the question. Who is the father?"
"Nobody you know."
"Laci!" She was loosing her patience.
"His name is Rich."
"Rich who?"
"Rich Maning."
"Where'd you meet him?"
"Hartford."
"Where in Harford?"
"Just Harford."
"Laci!"
"A club."
"You're under age! You can't get into a club!"
"Well I did."
"How old is he?"
"18."
"When did this happen?"
"I don't know."
Lorelai turned around and walked back upstairs. When she entered the room Luke was getting ready for work. She didn't feel like talking to him or telling him for that matter. She wanted Laci to be the one to tell everybody who had to be told. She started to leave, but, as she was leaving the room Luke grabbed her arm.
"Not now Luke."
"What's going on?"
"Nothing. I just don't feel like talking."
"Lorelai…"
"Leave me alone. If I want to talk then I'll talk. Right now I've made up my mind and I don't want to."
"Fine. I'll be home in time for Friday night dinner."
Luke stormed out of the house and to the diner. Once he was gone Lorelai curled up in the bed and started crying. She couldn't believe what a horrible mother she had become. She didn't even know when her daughter was and wasn't home. She laid there like that for ten minutes, but the phone started to ring. She checked the caller ID and it was Rory so she decided to answer it.
"Hello."
"Hi. I'm sorry I couldn't call you back last night. Bryan was a little colicky. It's weird because Matty is never colicky. Lola never had colic either."
"Yeah. You never had colic when you were little." Lorelai couldn't help but smile at the thought of her daughter being a mother, but then she remembered that her teenage daughter was going to be a mother too. Her smile quickly faded at the thought of that.
"Mom are you still there?"
"Yeah, I'm here. I guess I'm just a little distracted."
"Oh?"
"It's nothing honey. You're still coming to Friday night dinner today right?"
"Of course."
"Do you want to come here first and then we can all go together?"
"That sounds great. I'll see you then."
"Oh and bring the pack n' play and some clothes for Lola. I want to keep her over night."
"Ok. See you later. Love you."
"Love you too!"
Lorelai finally made her way downstairs. She softly knocked on Laci's door. Laci didn't answer so she decided to let herself in. She found Laci lying on her bed crying. She sat down next to Laci and started playing with hair.
"I'm sorry mom."
"Okay."
"No I really am."
"I believe that, I do. So you and this guy…"
"It's nothing mom."
"You're pregnant Laci! It's not nothing! In nine months you're going to have a human pop right out of you. I don't consider that nothing."
"Nice way of phrasing it."
"Well…"
"You guys just fight so much, and I need to get away sometimes."
"That's why you go there?"
"Yeah."
"You have no idea how disappointed I am of you. You had potential kid."
"I still do. I'm just going to take another path, like you did."
"But I wanted better for you; I wanted you to have the life that I gave Rory."
"She's not me mom. I know that having this baby is going to be hard but I need to have it! If you could do it, then so can I."
"This wasn't planed was it?"
"What! No!"
"Ok."
"Why do you ask?"
"You just seem…I dunno, happy I guess."
"I'm not happy, I'm just facing reality."
"So um…how ah…how um…how far along are you?"
"Like three months."
"When did you find out?"
"Last month."
"Have you gone to the doctor yet?"
"Yeah. My next appointment is on Monday."
"Why didn't you tell me?" The hurt in her voice was obvious.
"I knew you'd be mad."
"What did you expect? My 15 year old daughter is pregnant and I'm supposed to be happy about it?"
"I guess not. I assume you told dad?"
"You know what they say about assuming. It makes an ass out of you and me."
"I'll take that as a no." She was relieved but on some extent she was also disappointed.
"No I didn't tell him. I'm leaving that up to you. I'm not going to tell a sole. You got yourself into this mess so you're going to deal with the consequences."
"Nice. I guess I'll start with the geekburger."
"The geekburger is your brother and he is out right now."
"Okay. Are we okay?"
"Partly. I know that as good as things can get between us, I still can't trust you."
"Mom…"
"I'm sorry but when you told me that you snuck out of your window and that you've been having sex with some guy in a club in Hartford, that's when you lost my trust. Let me tell you something, you won't be getting it back for a long time. From now on your bedroom door stays open expect for when you are getting dressed."
"Fine."
"Okay. I think this is start."
It was a relief to both girls that they were finally able to talk to each other in a peaceful manner.
A/N: Thank you for all the reviews. I just wanted to let WB2490 know that I am going to do a Rory, Laci, Lorelai scene. It will probably be in the next chapter at Friday night dinner.
