A/N: Thanks so much of all the reviews I received! I would also like to say thank you to Bloomin Daisy for her idea. I am going to try to work that into either this chapter or the next chapter. Anyway, on with the story.

The first thing Lorelai noticed when she woke up was the alarm clock. The big bold letters that lit the room up said 3:05 A.M. She rolled over towards the door, but something caught her eye. There was a person sitting in a chair next to the bed. She couldn't make out who it was, but after much thought she realized it was Laci. The first thought that popped into her mind was to yell at her. She started to open her mouth and that's when she saw the tears running down Laci's face. She motioned for Laci to join her on the bed, and when she finally did, Lorelai did nothing but hold her. Once Laci had stopped crying she looked up at her mother.

"I went to see him." Laci didn't even have to tell Lorelai who 'him' was.

"Did you tell him?"

"No."

It was just then that Lorelai noticed the bruise that was starting to form around her daughter's eye.

"He was with another girl." Laci stated simply.

"Oh. What um…what happened to your eye?"

"Cat fight. The girl and I kind of got at each others throats. He wasn't pleased to see me, and neither was she. Then I did the stupidest thing I have ever done, besides this baby here. I told him that I needed him in my life. That's when she came at me. I didn't fight back; I just got out of there."

"Are you okay? Is the baby okay?"

"Yeah. We're fine. I just can't believe how stupid I am."

"Laci, you are not stupid, and you do not need this guy in your life. I will help you with the baby. I'll watch it when you're at school, and I'll baby sit sometimes on Fridays so that you can have a normal life. You need to know that you are NOT in this alone."

"I know. Do you mind if I go to sleep? I had a rough night."

"Yeah, go ahead. Can I stay with you?"

"Mom…you should go back up to Dad."

"I can't. Please let me stay here?"

"I guess so."

"Thanks babe. Good night."

"Night Mom. I love you."

"I um…I love you too."

It was the first time that they had said that to each other in a very long time. Lorelai laid down next to Laci and they both fell fast asleep.

The girls both woke up around the same time. Once the sleep had completely left their bodies, the girls sat up and faced each other.

"How's your eye?" Lorelai was first to speak.

"It hurts a little, but its okay."

"That's good. So have you been to a doctor yet? You know, to find out about the baby?"

"Yeah, I went last week."

"Did he tell you when you're due?"

"Yup."

"Okay…"

"Oh, right. I'm due on November 17. I'm three months along."

"So you got pregnant in February?"

"Yeah. I'm kinda hungry. Why don't we go to Dad's for breakfast?"

"Ok. Go tell Liam where we're going."

"He's tutoring."

"I knew that. Should we drive or walk?"

"Let's walk."

"Okay."

The girls made their way to Luke's in silence. Lorelai really didn't want to have breakfast there. She hated eating in front of him, mostly because she felt like a pig when she did. She never felt this way before. The feeling had started with 'the kiss'. It had been almost three weeks since it happened and Lorelai had conditioned herself to not eat in front of Luke. She felt as if her body wasn't as 'hot' as Nicole's. It was weird how just one minute had changed her life so much.

They entered the diner and sat down at their usual table. Lorelai hadn't been in the diner since that day. Luke was shocked to see her there, but he still went over to take their orders. On a normal day he would have gone over and kissed her on the lips, but today he just went over there to take care of business.

"You guys want the usual?"

"Yeah that sounds good, but instead of coffee I'll have milk." Unlike her mother and sister, Laci had given up coffee without a fuss.

"What about you?"

"Oh me? Um…yeah I guess that's fine." Once Lorelai had told him, she returned her concentration to her shoes.

"Are you okay, mom?"

"Yeah I'm fine." Lorelai looked up at Laci, who had been staring at her since they got there.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you think?"

"Oh."

Just then Luke brought them their food and their drinks. Lorelai didn't touch her food, or her coffee. Laci looked at her mother, and she knew that they had to get out of there. When Laci had finished her food, she looked up at her mother who still had her head down. Luke came by to clear the plates. Once the plates were in his hands, he just stood there staring at Lorelai.

"What, Luke? What do you want?"

"You didn't eat."

"I'm not hungry."

"You didn't have any of your coffee either. This isn't good Lorelai."

"I'm fine, Luke."

"Lorelai, I know that you're not fine."

"Here's the money for the food." She figured that she'd at least try.

"Since when do you pay me?"

"Since now."

"I'm not going to take this."

"Why?"

"Lorelai…"

"Come on mom, we need to get you home."

"I'm fine, Laci."

"No you're not. You haven't eaten in God knows how long!" Luke and Laci said it at the same time. It came out a little louder then they had anticipated, and the whole diner heard.

"I'll meet you at home Laci." Lorelai said as she lowered her head back towards the ground.

With that Lorelai was gone. She left behind a diner filled with shocked town residents, two of which felt guilty. She walked home without looking back, she didn't have any idea how she would ever show her face in town again.

Laci got home a few minutes after Lorelai did. She went over to her mom, and sat down on the couch with her. Lorelai allowed herself to put her head in Laci's lap.

"I'm sorry mom. I didn't mean for it to come out that loud." Laci confessed.

"I know babe."

"If I get you something to eat will you eat it?"

"I'll try."

"Mom…"

"Yes Laci, I'll eat it. I do eat; I just don't eat in front of your father."

"But Dad eats almost every meal with us on the weekends."

"I know."

"What if we make a plan or something?"

"What do you mean?"

"What if we find a way to get out of the house during breakfast, lunch, and dinner? We can eat out together. That way you'll be able to eat."

"I guess that could work. You would really do that for me?"

"Yeah, I would."

"Why don't we watch that movie now?"

"What movie?"

"The movie I owe you from last night."

"Sure, but first I'm going get you something to eat. Cereal? Or should I order from Al's and have somebody pick it up for us?"

"Al's."

"Okay, Al's it is! Do you think we could go shopping sometime today?"

"Why?"

"My clothes are starting to get tight. They've been getting tight for awhile now."

"We just found out that you were pregnant yesterday."

"So, that doesn't change the fact that I'm three months pregnant. My jeans are tight."

"I would love to go to the mall with you later. It will help with our plan."

"That's what I was thinking. I'm going to call Al's now."

"Okay. What movie do you want?"

"Willy Wonka, that's my favorite." Laci let out a wide grin.

A/N: I'm all done for now. I don't know if you guys caught it, but Willy Wonka is the movie that she turned down in chapter 1, because she and Lorelai weren't getting along very well. Anyway, please review!
