waitingtuesday: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you … oh, and thank you! I love your reviews so much and I'm really glad that you took all that time to find your review and re-submit it. It made my day ten thousand times better. Chelsea sounds adorable. We wish her the best.
Your teachers seem more and more hilarious. G (a history teacher named Mr. Giaretta, but no one ever calls him that), Mr. Capolla (an English teacher), and Kilmer (a sub named Mrs. Kilmer, but no one ever includes the Mrs. … I'm not sure why) all got caught up in a huge practical joke. Kilmer and Capolla share a room (The high school is the smallest in the state. 300 kids, grades 7-12. Simply amazing. My graduating class has 51 kids in it.) and Capolla started taking and hiding her stuff. G helped him … kinda like an accomplice. Kilmer found out and her and G took Capolla's keys and parked his car on the football field. Capolla was called down to the office and told about his car and he moved it. But Kilmer didn't know so G and Capolla told her that Capolla's car was towed. Kilmer felt so bad that she offered to pay, but Capolla wouldn't let her. She kept bringing him in baked goods, lunches, etc. Meanwhile Capolla and G were still hiding her stuff and Kilmer thought she was losing her mind. Capolla's wife eventually told Kilmer because she felt bad. Ever since Kilmer and Capolla's wife have been friends and Capolla is extremely nice to Kilmer since she has a lot against him now. It's amusing.
I love really normal boy's names like Christopher, Joseph, and Michael. Mrs. Rodriguez has a son named Rhys. I don't particularly like the name and I'm afraid he'll be made fun of. But I love strange girls names. Kennedy is a really good one.
Oh, and don't worry. My friend Sharon is really excited about Rent. I'd love to see it, too. Yeah! Another long comment. Oh, how I love writing them.
ProFfeSseR: I'm glad you took the effort to review. It makes me happy.
Gilmore 93: My friend Bill was Papa Smurf for Halloween. He had a beard and hat. His face was painted blue and he had on the red shorts. It made my day.
OTHlover04, Luke'sGirl, and Lorelai Gilmore46: Thanks.
J.Stone: I'm glad you think Piper's fitting in well. I was nervous she wouldn't. Sorry about those four pounds (eats another spoonful of 'party mix' ice cream … which by the way is amazing).
orangesherbert7: Thanks for the long review. They make me happy. (See waitingtuesday's comment for a truly hilarious teacher story).

"So when do you wanna tell the girls?" Luke asked Lorelai as they sat on their bed in pajamas; Luke in boxers and Lorelai in a blue, silk night gown.
"I don't know. I'm not sure how either is going to react, so I think we should do each one separately. You take Piper, I take Rory?"
"Sounds good. Later though, it's late."
"Three in the morning is not late, Luke."
"Fine, it's early."
"I'm bored." Lorelai pouted and Luke knew exactly what she meant.
"No." Lorelai was caught off guard by his abruptness, but quickly adjusted.
"Well, why not?"
"Because it's early and you need some sleep."
"But Luke …"
"No buts. You are going to sleep."
"Fine." Luke kissed his fiancée, but was careful not to let it go any farther. Lorelai let out a groan when he pulled back.
"Sleep."
"Yes, dad." Lorelai smiled and Luke couldn't resist smiling back.
They both got into bed and Luke pulled Lorelai's back against him. He wrapped an arm around her waist and started to gently stroke her stomach. Lorelai placed her hand over Luke's.
Luke whispered into her ear. "I'm gonna be a dad."
"You're gonna be an amazing dad."
"You are an amazing mother."
"Mom?" Rory entered the living room the next day. Piper and Luke had gone out fishing for the day.
"Here. Lovely and beautiful and here!" Rory spotted her mother sitting on the comfy, red couch with her legs crossed. She was wrapped in a blanket and was bouncing up and down practically squealing.
"Mom, what's gotten into you?" Rory asked half-laughing while she sat down on the couch.
"I don't know," and then Lorelai started giggling.
"Oh no. Did you watch an ABC family home movie again?"
And Lorelai responded in her best Italian accent, "Pizza My Heart."
"Mom, I told you not to watch those anymore."
"No, I watched Pizza My Heart …"
"Do you have to use your Italian accent every time you say that?"
"Umm … yeah. I watched it last night. But I've got some big news. Some ginormously spectacularly amazingly wonderfully awesomely …"
"Mom?"
"Shh," Lorelai cleared her throat, "Great news. I'm expecting …" Lorelai stopped.
After a few seconds Rory got impatient, "What? What?"
"To have to squeeze a baby out of me in a few months."
"Ew, mom. That has to be the most disgusting way you could of done that." And that's when Rory realized what her mother had just told her. "You're Pregnant!"
"I Know!" Lorelai was bouncing again. Until she saw Rory didn't look happy. She looked like she was spacing out. "Rory?"
Rory snapped out of it and stared at her mom. "I have to go … no. I'm not going."
"Okay."
"I wanna move back in."
"What?"
"Or just visit more. Mom."
"What is it?"
"I wanna be there. I'm gonna be a big sister."
"You are a big sister."
"I know, I know. But with Piper there was nothing I could of done to not miss the beginning of her life. But if we … if I keep letting the weirdness get in the way of doing stuff with you, then I'm gonna miss out on everything. I don't wanna be the older sister who this baby talks about as 'my sister, but she's a lot older and has a different father.'"
"But Rory, you are a lot older … and have a different father."
"I do have a different father, but mom … I have the same dad. Luke's the one who helped raise me. He's the voice I hear every time I eat something unhealthy. And when the baby comes you and Piper are gonna call him dad, so I think I should, too."
"I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
"I want to try to resolve the weirdness over the next … eight months?"
"About, yeah."
"So the baby doesn't pick up on it when it's born."
"When baby's born."
"What?"
"We don't know the sex yet, so baby's not a he or she, but I hate it. It's so unfeeling. Like my baby's not a person. So, it's baby until we know the gender."
"Baby, got it."
Both Lorelai and Rory sat in comfortable silence just soaking in what had just happened, until Lorelai broke the silence.
"Pizza My Heart."
"What?"
"Pleeeeeeeeease Rory. Encore performance," Lorelai checked the clock, "now!"
"Look how conveniently that turned out," Rory said as sarcastically as she could. "You know, I blame this sudden ABC family movie fetish on hormones. The Lorelai I know wouldn't wanna watch Pizza My Heart."
But Lorelai rubbed her stomach and pouted. "Baby wants to watch Pizza My Heart."
"Every time. You know you didn'tgrow up in Italy ... or even speak the language."
Lorelai gasped and put her two hands against her stomach. "Baby doesn't know that. Don't shatter baby's hopes and dreams. Baby's not even out of the womb yet and big sister Rory is already …"
"Alright, alright." And Rory added in the best Italian accent she could come up with, "Pizza My Heart."
Lorelai just clapped her hands and squealed as Rory turned on the TV.
A/N: Really long time since I updated. Sorry, sorry, grovel, grovel … more groveling. Would you believe I went camping? Weird.
