A/N: Thanks so much for all the reviews. I still don't know if it's going to be a boy or a girl, but I'm going to have to decide fast because that's in this chapter. Maybe I'll do 'eanie meanie minie moe…', and then 'my mother said…", and 'the colors of the flag'. I'm sorry if I just confused you.

LukeNLorelaiFan I wanted you to update 'We're Serious'. I didn't read your authors note in 'Since' until tonight when I was going over my reviews. Lorelai is NOT pregnant. She is going through menopause. I wanted to come up with a reason about why it took her so long to get back with Luke and why she was so emotional, and that reason is menopause and all the hormones and mood swings. LOL

Izzpuppy Yes Laci is almost four months pregnant. I would say that she is somewhere around 15 weeks. One more week and then she'll be four months pregnant.

ProFfeSseR After I updated and read it on the sight, I realized that it was too soon to tell the sex. This takes place about 16 years in the future so maybe by then they'll be able to find these things out sooner. We can just blame it on that for now.

Sea4Shoes Emily is going to find out soon. She will probably find out in the next chapter, I'm not sure though. By the way, Richard isn't alive anymore.

Bloomin Daisy Thank you for the Emily idea. I definitely want to use it, but I had planned for the father of the baby to find out that way so…I don't know. Maybe I can still use it.

Lackinglime11 Thank you for the twins idea. I might have her have twins. At least if she did have twins the whole sex of the baby wouldn't be so hard to decide.

Sillymaggie10, krazykrazykt, LLLoveForver Thank you all so much for the reviews.

Anyway, on with the story.

"Mom, hurry up. We're going to be late!" Laci said as she ran into the inn.

"Oh hey, Laci! How was your day? My day was good, thanks for asking. Are you ready to go? Almost, I have to finish a few things up, but besides that I'm ready." Lorelai joked.

"Hey, Mom. How was your day?" Laci played along.

"My day was good, thanks for asking."

"Mom, we're going to be late. We don't have time for your stupid comments."

"Fine. Somebody's grumpy."

"I'm not grumpy. This day just feels like its never going to end."

"Why? Did something happen at school?"

"It was nothing."

"So something did happen in school."

"Some kids made a few comments about me. It was nothing, really."

"What did they say?"

"They yelled out 'preggie' as I walked by them. How do they know? I'm not showing am I? I know I can see it, but that's only when I'm naked. How do they know, mom?"

"I don't know babe. Did you tell anyone?"

"You, Dad, Rory, and Liam. I'm sure Rory told Baily, but he wouldn't say anything."

"I don't know then."

"Can I just not go to school anymore?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because there are only a few weeks left."

"Do I have to go back in September?"

"No. We're having a tutor come to the house. He'll tutor you until the baby is a month old, and then you'll go back to school."

"I can't even imagine all the comments I'll get."

"Just be glad you don't go to Chilton."

"I am glad."

"What do you want to have?" Lorelai said while changing the subject.

"Huh?"

"Your baby. What do you want it to be?"

"Oh. I don't know. I haven't really thought about it much."

"Sure you haven't."

"I haven't."

"You want it to be a girl."

"I never said that."

"But you're thinking it, right?"

"Yes, I want a girl, but I will be happy if it is a boy."

"Uh huh, sure you will."

"I will. Maybe not right away, but in time I will come to peace with it, and then I will be truly happy."

"Ok, point proven."

Once they arrived at the doctor's office, the two girls went inside and waited to be called into the examination room. The nurse came out a few minutes later and led them to an examination room. After the nurse had checked Laci's blood pressure and weight, she left the room. Five minutes later the doctor came in.

"How are you feeling?"

"Okay."

"Good. So have you decided on whether or not you want to know the sex of your baby?"

"Yeah, I want to."

"Ok. Now let's get this little one up on the screen, shall we?"

"We shall." Lorelai answered.

"Oh, you must be Laci's mother. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too."

"Let's see, what do we have here?"

"What is it?" Laci asked.

"It appears that you have a little guy growing inside of you."

"What?"

"You're having a boy."

"Wow! Hey Laci, it looks like your little girl is growing a ding-a-ling." Lorelai joked.

"Not funny, mom. So a boy, huh? This is big."

"I think it's safe to assume that you were hoping for a girl."

"Just a little, but a boy is just as good."

"I'll leave you two alone. Don't forget to schedule your next appointment on the way out."

"Okay, thank you doctor." Lorelai watched as the doctor left the room. "Ok, let's go, Laci."

"Go where?"

"Shopping."

"What about Friday night dinner?"

"Screw Friday night dinner! You're having a little boy!"

"We can't just screw Friday night dinner."

"Watch me!"

"Mom!"

"Fine, but first thing tomorrow we are going shopping."

"For what?"

"For this little boy." Lorelai said as she placed her hand on Laci's stomach

"Ok. Hey Mom, guess what?"

"What?"

"I'm having a little boy!"

"I know!"

They ride home was an exciting one for both of them. Laci couldn't stop smiling and Lorelai couldn't stop sing "My Ding-a-Ling". When they got home, both girls ran inside, got dressed, and ran out to the car where they waited for Luke and Liam. Once the boys joined them, Lorelai started singing again.

"'When I was a little bitty boy, my grandmother bought me a cute little toy, silver bells hanging on a string, she said it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling…'"

"Mom, stop!" Laci yelled.

"Sorry, I just can't help myself."

"Wait, does this mean that you're having a boy?" Liam asked.

"Uh-huh."

"Wow, that's awesome."

"Thanks geekburger."

"I thought I out grew that name."

"No, it was a one night thing."

"Oh, I see how it is."

"Dad, say something." Laci pleaded,

"I'm…ah…I'm happy for you?" Luke said awkwardly.

"Um…thanks."

The rest of the ride was silent, because nobody knew what exactly should be said. Luke had made the whole ride awkward for everyone. He still wasn't okay with the whole situation, and he didn't try to hide it one bit.

They arrived at Emily's a little bit late, and of course Rory's family had beaten them there. Once they were inside, everyone took their seats in the living room. Luke, Lorelai, and Laci on one couch while Rory, Liam, and Baily were on the other couch. Emily was sitting in a chair in the middle of the two couches.

"You look rather happy tonight, Laci. Do you care to share the reason with us?" Emily questioned.

"No, not really."

"Well why not? If it is making you happy, then I am sure it will make everyone else happy."

"Not everyone." Laci responded coldly while looking at Luke.

"What on earth is that supposed to mean?" Emily asked.

"It means to leave her the hell alone, Mom." Lorelai interrupted.

"I wasn't asking you, Lorelai! I was asking your daughter."

"Well maybe, just maybe, she doesn't want to tell you. Not everything is your business!"

"Like your separation from Luke isn't any of my business!"

"What?" Lorelai's voice softened.

"You didn't actually think that you had me fooled, did you? I know you two are fighting, and I know the reason why too! I also know that you don't eat, because you're so upset."

"Luke and I are not separated, Mom!"

"Really?"

"Yes, really. We were fighting for awhile, but we're over it now. Everything is back to normal. Luke and I were NEVER separated!"

"Very well then."

"Do you have a secret investigator following me or something?"

"No, but I over heard a few things here and there, and one my good friends stayed at the Dragonfly and saw how upset you were. Any idiot could have figured it out."

"Well I guess…"

"Lorelai, stop." Luke whispered in her ear.

The maid came in and told them that dinner was ready, and everyone but Lorelai and Rory went to the dinning room. After everyone was out of the living room, they sat down next to each other, and began their much needed talk.

"Do you care to explain what just happened?" Rory asked.

"I lost my temper with Grandma, but what else is new?"

"There was more, Mom. Plus, you never told me that you and dad were officially back together."

"It happened last night, there really isn't that much to tell."

"I bet there is…"

"No, not really. All we did was talk over a nice dinner and some dessert."

"Oh, okay. You seemed to really lose it with Grandma in here. You haven't lost your temper with her in a looong time, and that's mostly because of her age and how she can't handle it."

"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. I just got a little mad, I guess."

"Mom, what's going on?"

"Nothing is going on, Rory. Let's go eat" It was just a mood swing. She thought to herself.

"Fine."

Lorelai didn't want anyone but Luke to know that she was going through menopause. Although Lorelai was happy about it, the thought of it made her feel old. She thought that by telling people about it, they would make her act her age or they would treat her like she had an illness or something.

Rory and Lorelai walked into the dining room, and joined the rest of the family for dinner. Rory knew that something was wrong with her mother, but she didn't want to push it out of her. Emily continued picking on random people the rest of the night, but she stayed away from Lorelai and Laci, afraid that Lorelai would blow up at her again.

A/N 2: I really need to stop updating at midnight. lol. I have no idea what the name of the song that Lorelai was singing is or who sings it, but I am guessing that it is called 'My ding-a-ling.". I heard about the song from the parents of the kids I baby-sit for. Apparently they taught their two year old twin boys to call their penis their 'ding-a-ling'. So sorry for not giving the singer credit or what not. I ended on picking the baby's gender by putting blue and pink paper clips in a bag and picking one out with my eyes closed. I know that I'm weird, but for some reason it was really hard to choose. I am really really tired, so I am going to stop here. In fact, my eyes are closing as I type, and it is now 12:41, and I am half asleep. Please review!
