Chapter 19

A few days have past since Lorelai found out she was pregnant. Rory went back to Yale, Lorelai and Luke are really happy, but they still haven't told Lucy.

Luke's Apartment
Lorelai is walking up the stairs

"Lukey! Are you here?" Lorelai called out.

"Lorelai how many times have I told you not to call me that?" Luke asked, coming out of the bathroom.

"I donno." Lorelai said walking over to him.

"Hi." Luke said holding Lorelai.

"Hi." Lorelai said and gave Luke a kiss.

"How was your day today?"

"Busy." Lorelai said sitting down on the couch.

"How's my baby?"

"We're good, but I'm still having morning sickness, but it's actually not in the morning, it's mostly around the afternoon, but other than that everything has been good."

"That's good. Where's Lucy?"

"She's over at Melissa's house doing a project."

"How is she?" Luke asked.

"She's fine."

"Have you told her?"

"No."

"When are you going to tell her Lorelai? Sooner or later you'll start to show. If the town finds out before Lucy that could be a real problem."

"I know." Lorelai said standing up.

"Then why won't you tell her? I mean she couldn't act very different from Rory, when she found out you were pregnant."

"But it's different with Rory."

"How so? Rory's going to get to be a big sister again and this'll be Lucy's first time. How was Rory when you told her she was going to be a big sister?"

"That's the thing. Rory actually came to me and said 'Mommy I want a sister or brother' and I would say 'That we'll get one when we go to Doose's'. So when I was pregnant with Lucy, she was happy."

"So what's the problem?"

Lorelai sighed and said, "Lucy was always more of a Mommy's Girl than Rory. I mean Rory was a Mommy's Girl too, but since she had a younger sister, she didn't always get what she wanted right away. For Lucy, anything that happened that would make her spend less time with me always hurt her; she would make a big deal about it.

"How?"

"She would get really sad, and depending on the situation she would stay in her room and shut everyone out for a while, but that was only when she was younger."

"Over these past couple of years since Rory went to Yale and the whole having sex with Dean thing, and her dropping out of Yale caused me and Lucy to spend more time with each other than usual."

"But I still don't understand."

"She never, not once asked for a younger brother or sister, 'cause I think she knew that it would cause her to be a little more left out than she usually is. I know she's 13 and she's a big girl but I'm worried, I'm worried about hurting Lucy."

"You won't hurt Lucy."

"How do you know? How do know she'll be happy right away? She might not even be happy at all."

"Lorelai, relax, it'll be fine. If you want I could tell her with you."

"No it's okay. I'll tell her tonight. I'm going to go pick her up. I'll see you in the morning."

"Okay." Luke said giving Lorelai a kiss.

"Bye."

"Bye."

"Hey Luke?" Lorelai said.

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

Luke smiled and said, "I love you too."

Lorelai Gilmore's House
Lorelai and Lucy are walking up the pathway

"…then Matthew was following Melissa everywhere and Melissa got annoyed and chased him up the stairs with a fork. It was funny." Lucy said.

"A fork?" Lorelai repeated.

"Yeah. She was going for the knife, but her mom got mad and stopped her, so she took a fork secretly."

"Wow, you have some interesting friends."

"I know. Hey what are we eating for dinner tonight?" Lucy asked stepping inside the house and taking off her jacket.

"We could order Chinese and talk."

"Sounds good." Lucy said walking about the stairs. "I'm going to finish the rest of my homework. Call me when the food gets here."

"Okay." Lorelai said. "Please let this all go right." She said when Lucy shut her bedroom door.

"I like Santa Clause." Lucy said.

"Woah, that came out of nowhere, very random." Lorelai said.

"It wasn't random; it was just in my head, so really though you didn't hear about it out loud, it was still in my head, but in my head it wasn't random because I was thinking about it for a while."

"Okay, you're confusing me, but forget it."

"Okay whatever you say." Lucy said getting back to her dinner.

It was quiet. "Hey Luc?" Lorelai said breaking the silence.

"Yeah?"

"I have something to tell you."

"Is it good or bad?"

"Well, I think it's good, but I'm not really sure how you'll take, so spare me the screaming and yelling."

"Mom, you know I'm going to find out eventually, I mean we don't have the quietest town."

"Okay," Lorelai started and let out a breath. "I'm-I'm-"

"You're…what?"

"I'm…pregnant Lucy. I'm pregnant."

"What?" Lucy said with a shocked tone.

"I'm pregnant." Lorelai said again.

Lucy just sat there, not saying anything or showing any emotion.

"Say something, anything, what's going on in you're head."

"I don't know what to say. It's just a lot to take in. Hold on, let me breath." Lucy let out breath.

"Well?" Lorelai said anxiously.

"Umm congratulations, I guess. I'm really happy for you and…it is Luke's right?"

"Of course it's Luke's. How are you feeling? Happy, sad, mad, what?"

"Well, it's sort of a mixture. I don't really know what to say. This has never happened to me before."

"What's never happened?"

"You never got pregnant before, nor was I ever going to be an…older sister. I've never thought about it."

"But are you okay, are you going to hate me?" Lorelai said.

"Of course not! I'm just surprised that's all, but I think I knew it would happen eventually."

"You did?" Lucy nodded. "Well, on that note, I just want to let you know that nothing will change between us. We have something good going on here, and nothing will ever change that. So we'll have a few extra people living with us, but nothing no matter what will change it okay?"

"Okay. I love you Mom." Lucy said giving Lorelai a hug.

"I love you to babe."

"And I'm happy for you."

"Thank you." Lorelai said with a smile.

Author's Note: I can't believe I got to posted in one day. Well that's probably because I did one this morning really early, but anyway. I was re-reading it and I realized that Lorelai and Luke have never said I love you so why don't I add it in here. Don't forget to R&R.
