A/N: Thank you everyone for all the reviews! I can't believe that I am updating this fast, but I enjoy doing it so…it's all good!

gilmorexxgirls- I didn't even realize that chapter 16 was her sweet 16. It wasn't planned that way, but I guess it worked out, huh? Thank you for reading all Laci Danes, just so you could read this one.

Bloomin Daisy- I'm sorry, I forgot what middle name we decided on. Was it the one that started with J or the one that started with M? It was the J one, right? I know the last chapter was random, but I needed for everyone to meet her friends for this chapter.

ProFfeSseR- You were very thoughtful, LOL. I wasn't even thinking to have Emily show up at the party, but thank you! The next chapter is based on your review!

Kylie1403- Thanks for the idea about Laci's friends! You're awesome, and you know it! If I don't talk to you again tonight, I hope you had fun shopping with your mom! Oh, and I do have one request…can you get me some ice cream and email it to me? Thanks a bunch!

July 20th had finally come, the day that Laci had been looking forward to since she was twelve. It was her sixteenth birthday! Lorelai had started preparing her for this day the second she started middle school. On rainy days the two girls would sit in front of the TV and watch Sixteen Candles. After the movie would end, Lorelai would always tell Laci that her sixteenth birthday would be as magical as when Molly Ringwald kissed Michael Schoeffling at the end of Sixteen Candles.

Laci woke up to the song Sixteen Candles blasting through out the whole house. She gradually got up, and made her way to the kitchen where music was coming from. She sat down at the table next to Lorelai and turned the music off. Luke was standing at the stove making her favorite chocolate chip pancakes, with bacon on the side.

"Happy birthday, Baby!" Lorelai cheered.

"Mom, not now. It's really early."

"How dare you say it's early? Today is your sweet sixteen! This day is going to be…"

"As magical as when Molly Ringwald kissed Michael Schoeffling at the end of Sixteen Candles, I know!"

"Why aren't you happy? You're supposed to be happy!"

"Mom…"

"Happy birthday, happy birthday baby. Oh I love you so. Sixteen candles…" Lorelai sang.

"Come on, Mom!"

"What? You're supposed to be happy! You are going to remember this day for the rest of your life! This is the most important birthday of them all; except for the day you are born. Don't you want to remember this day differently? Don't you want to remember it being special?" Lorelai asked.

"Here's your food. Happy birthday, Laci. I'll see you later tonight for the party." Luke said.

"Okay. Thanks Dad." Laci paused for a second before answering Lorelai's question. "Yes, I do want to remember this day as special, but that's not going to happen. There is nothing special about celebrating your sweet sixteen, pregnant! I'm sorry Mom, but this day isn't going to be the day that we always pictured."

Laci grabbed her pancakes and went into her room. She made sure to close the door on her way in. She closed the door a lot these days, ever since she got the privilege back. A few minutes later Lorelai knocked on her door and told her that she was going to work and she'd be back by four. Laci didn't answer her mother; instead she continued eating her food. Once she was done eating, she took out her latest book, What to Expect When You're Expecting.

Kiley, Mandy, and Sophia were all hanging out at Mandy's. They had all slept over Mandy's the night before, and now they were eating breakfast together. The three girls sat around Mandy's kitchen table eating left over pizza and pop tarts. None of them wanted to bring up the subject, but they all knew someone had to bring it up. Mandy was always the brave one when it came to these things, so she decided to bring it up first.

"So what are you guys going to get Laci?" Mandy asking even though she knew the answer that followed.

"Oh yeah, about that…I don't think I'm going to go." Kiley spoke up.

"Yeah, I'm not sure I'm going to go either." Sophia said.

"Why?"

"I just don't want to." Both girls said at the same time.

"You have to go. She needs us there."

"She's no fun anymore." Sophia said.

"Yeah, you saw how she was at the beach. She can't do anything! All she talks about is that baby! She's not one of us anymore." Kiley added.

"She is one of us! She's just going through a hard time right now. We need to be there for her. You guys have no idea what she puts up with! Will you please just come? You don't have to stay the whole time, just make an appearance?"

"Ok, but if we get bored…we're leaving!" Once again both girls spoke at once.

The party had finally started! Laci was surprised at the turn out. When she had first heard about this party she figured that a lot of the people wouldn't show up, because of her condition, but they had. The only people that were missing were her best friends.

After awhile she went outside to get away from the noise. When she got outside, she saw her best friends waiting for her on the stairs. She walked over to them and hugged them all. The last one she hugged was Kiley, and as she was hugging her she felt the baby kick. Kiley jumped back and just stared at her stomach.

"I don't think he likes me very much." Kiley said.

"He does, that's why he kicked you."

The girls sat on the steps and talked for a long time. Just as they were going inside for cake and presents, they heard a car pull into the driveway. They all turned around to see who was getting out, but nobody knew the lady except for Laci. Laci felt her world come sinking down as she saw the woman approaching.

"Grandma…"

A/N: I'm sorry for leaving it there, but its 1:19 AM, and I have to get up really early tomorrow. I know I said that the father would find out in the next chapter, but it doesn't look that way. I promise he will find out in chapter 18! I hoped you guys liked this one! I hope the guy form Sixteen Candles is Michael Schoeffling, if not then I meant the character Jake. Please review!
