Chapter 21

Previously:

"They?" Lorelai said with a surprised tone.
"That's right, they. You're having triplets."
"Tr-tr-triplets?" Lorelai stuttered.

Lorelai Gilmore's House – Late at Night
Lorelai just comes back from the diner

"Lucy?" Lorelai calls out. She walks around looking for Lucy. Lorelai goes upstairs and sees that Lucy's bedroom door is closed. She goes in and sees that Lucy is sound asleep with a book slid across her chest. She takes the book and puts in on her night table. She tucked Lucy in, moved the hair from her face, and gave her a kiss.

"Mom?" Lucy said groggily.

"Hey babe." Lorelai whispered.

"Did you just get home?"

"Yeah. Shh, go back to sleep."

"How are you going to do it Mom?" Lucy asked sitting up.

"You don't worry about that Hon, we'll figure it out."

Lucy sighed.

"You okay?" Lorelai asked.

"I guess." Lucy said shrugging her shoulders. "I mean it's just a lot of adjusting. I don't know really what else."

"I know what you mean. Go back to sleep and we'll talk in the morning."

"Okay." Lucy said lying back down. Lorelai started to walk out and Lucy said, "Hey where are you going?"

"Oh I'm sorry." Lorelai said coming back over.

"That's better." Lucy said as Lorelai gave her a kiss and tucked her back in.

"Good night kid."

"Night Mom. I love you."

"I love you too." Lorelai said. She smiled and left the room.

The Next Day…

Luke's Diner
Lorelai and Lucy come in for breakfast

"Good morning." Lorelai said giving Luke a kiss over the counter.

"Good morning to you too." Luke said.

"Hey Luke." Lucy said sitting down at the counter.

"Hey Luc. What can I get you guys to eat?" Luke said getting his pen and paper ready to write.

"Let's see. I want bacon, chocolate chip pancakes, and a glass of chocolate milk." Lucy said.

"I want bacon…ooh and sausages and chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream oh and coffee." Lorelai said.

"Yes to the bacon and pancakes, no to the sausages, the whipped cream, and the coffee." Luke said sternly.

"Aww man, why not?" Lorelai whined.

"Lorelai, you're eating for four for now, and anything can make them become unhealthy." Luke said.

"Did you hear that Patty? Lorelai's eating for four." Babette whispered to Miss Patty as the two watched the family nearby.

"I heard. That can only mean one thing-" Miss Patty started to say, but Luke cut her off.

"Would you two knock it off!" Luke said.

"Lukey, we have to let the world know." Lorelai said. Lorelai turned around and said, "We're having triplets guys!"

"Ooh, we're so happy for you sugar." Babette said.

"Yes, this is exciting! Let's go tell Taylor, I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that there will be three more kids running around instead of two!" Miss Patty said. Miss Patty and Babette left.

Lorelai giggled and rolled her eyes.

"I swear, one of these days, we're going to have to start talking in code. I mean we can't keep anything private in this town." Luke said annoyed.

"Ooh yeah, like Morse Code or we talk in the G-Language." Lorelai said excitedly.

"What's G-Language?" Luke asked confused.

"It's when you put the 'G' sound in front of the vowel."

"Oh." Luke said.

"But compared to the rest of America, Stars Hollow's population is like 1, okay not one, maybe 10, and that's only compared to America, what about the rest of the world? People will always know in Stars Hollow." Lucy said.

"Yeah, she's right." Lorelai said. "It would still be cool to talk in code though."

"Whatever you say." Luke said.

"Hey, it was your idea." Lorelai said shrugging her shoulders.

Just then Lorelai's phone rang.

"Outside." Luke said coming around the counter as Lorelai took the phone out of her purse.

"Hey, I am your fiancée and mother of your children; shouldn't I get special privileges or something?" Lorelai said standing up.

"Nope." Luke said plainly going over to serve his other customers.

"Hi Rory." Lorelai said answering her phone.

"Does she understand the meaning of the word 'outside'?" Luke said to Lucy.

"Apparently not." Lucy said drinking her chocolate milk.

"Yeah we're at Luke's."

"How's the baby?" Rory said on the other line.

"Oh shoot! Rory I forgot to tell you, we're not having one baby anymore." Lorelai said putting her hand on her forehead.

"You're not? Is it twins?"

"Yes and no."

"It's not twins?" Rory asked.

"No, it's triplets."

"Triplets? Like three, like trois, like tres, like-like-"

"Rory stop! Yes, triplets." Lorelai said.

"Wow, I'm surprised." Rory said stunned. "How did Lucy take it?"

"Let's just say it could've gone better."

"Oh, well I'm just shocked, but I am sort of happy in a way." Rory said.

"Ok, I'm glad." Lorelai said relieved.

"Wow, well Mom, I just called to you know see how you were doing, say 'hi' to Luke and Lucy for me."

"Will do. Love you babe."

"I love you too. Bye."

"Bye." And Lorelai closed her phone. She sat back down next to Lucy who had finished her breakfast.

"How'd she take it?" Luke asked.

"Not bad, but not as I expected, but she's happy. Anyway, I have to get to the inn, but I will see you guys for lunch." Lorelai said standing up again. "Bye Lucy." She said giving Lucy a kiss on the cheek. "Bye Luke." Lorelai said giving Luke a kiss which Luke returned.

"Bye Mom." Lucy said as Lorelai left.

"Don't work too hard!" Luke called after her.

Dragonfly Inn – Kitchen
Lorelai comes in

A/N: Lorelai already told Sookie and Sookie was really excited.

"Sookie, can I please, please, please have coffee." Lorelai said going up to Sookie who was stirring a pot.

"No, no, no." Sookie said going around to the other side of the kitchen shaking her head.

Lorelai followed her. "Please Sookie. I beg of you. Luke won't let me have any and I'm coffee deprived."

"Aww c'mon Lorelai. You're feeding the four of you now. You have to watch what you eat. Anything you put in your mouth could hurt the babies."

"Fine." Lorelai said folding her arms on her chest and pouting.

"Good. Now, how about you have some tea?"

"Fine." Lorelai said.

"So, have you told your parents yet?" Sookie said as she made Lorelai a cup of tea.

"Nope, and I probably don't plan on it anytime soon."

"Why? I mean I understand your mother, but what about your dad. When was the last time you saw him?"

"Gosh you're right." Lorelai said taking a sip of the tea. "The last time I saw my dad was when Rory dropped out of Yale. Rory tells me that he is always traveling."

"What about Luke what did he say about telling your parents?" Sookie said going back to stirring.

"He wants me to tell them."

"Lorelai there is someone here for you." One of the bellboy's said.

"Thanks." Lorelai said. "I thought that was Michel's job." She said to herself.

"Go, I'll talk to you later." Sookie said.

"Okay, thanks for this," Lorelai said pointing to the mug. "Thing that was supposed to be coffee."

Sookie rolled her eyes and said. "No problem."

Lorelai smiled and walked out of the kitchen. When she saw who was there, she flipped.

"Why today?" Lorelai said looking up.

"Hello Lorelai."

Author's Note: So this was Chapter 21. I think this was maybe my longest one, and I think it was really pointless, but yeah and needed to start somewhere to get to that mystery person. And to No.13dreamer I was planning on having a poll. Not now but soon, for the names of the babies. Okay yeah, so don't forget to R&R! Thanks, Haylie.
