Chapter - Shopping and a Little Miss Pris
A week went by and Lorelai was officially made part of the town. Miss Patty was so excited that she decided to live in Stars Hollow she wanted to have a party. For what you ask? Well .. do you really need an excuse from Patty to have a party? But she and Mrs. Cassinni insisted that it was in 'honor of Lorelai'.
None of the town knew about her pregnancy, only Sookie and Jackson. They both found were excited and said that they would help in anyway possible.
Liz was now starting to show from her pregnancy so she asked Lorelai wanted to go shopping with her at the mall.
They pulled up to the parking lot and Lorelai and Liz got out. Lorelai was really happy that she and Liz were connecting. She knew Luke thought she was headed down the wrong road especially because of Jimmy.
They walked straight into the matertanity store and started to look around.
"Oh my .. I love this .." Lorelai said picking up a cute blue top.
"You should get it .. pretty soon your going to be that big." Liz replied.
"Yeah .. I guess I am." Lorelai smiled and put the shirt on her arm and continued to look around.
"So .. Lorelai. Are you excited for the baby?" Liz asked.
"Yeah, I really am. I don't know. Is it weird to be excited to have a kid when your 16?"
"I don't know. But if it aint, me you and my brother must be phsycos."
They both laughed. During this conversation they didn't notice who was behind them listening.
The rest of the day they shopped, ate in the food court and looked at baby clothes.
By the time they made it home it was around 8.
They walked in the house, arms full of bags and Lorelai was greeted by Luke.
He gave her a quick peck on the lips and took their bags from them.
"Your just in time .. dinner is done and Sookie just called for you."
"Ohh .. food? What's for supper?" she asked excitedly
"Porkchops-" she interrupted him
"Uu Uu! Lemme guess 'Porkchops and apple sauce'." she said in her best Peter Brady voice.
Luke grunted and continued, "Porkchops, green beans, pasta salad and for dessert I made you baked apples."
She kissed him on the lips and said, "Your to good to me."
"I know."
She hit him playfully on the arm and pulled him over to the couch.
"I got you something. Well .. not you ..more like for the baby. But you'll like it."
She rummaged through a few bags and finally she pulled out a tiny blue baseball cap that would fit on an infant's head.
"I thought that Rory could dress up like daddy one day."
He gave her a stern look but soon put a smile on his face.
"Yeah yeah. It's .. nice."
"You can say it. It's adorable!"
He squeezed her knee and told her, "Now go eat and I'll put these in the room."
"Kay." she walked into the kitchen and saw Will. He was getting better everyday and the doctors said that it's a good chance that by the summer all the cancer will be gone and he will be back to normal.
"Hey Pops." Lorelai said grabbing a plate from the cupboard.
"Good evening Lorelai. How was your day of shopping?" he asked still reading the newspaper.
He looked up to listen to her answer.
"It was great. I bought my first matertnity shirt today! I wont be able to fit into it for another few months .. but I like to be prepared." Lorelai said.
She was so comfortable with Will knowing about the pregnancy she talked about it to him. She told him about her weird cravings and the hormones comming along.
"That's good. Did Liz buy anything?" he asked as she was filling up her plate with the dinner.
"Yepp. She got a few more shirts and new pants. Of course me and her are going to design them soon so that she'd like them enough to wear them."
"That's good .. that's good."
"Yepp." she began to dig in her supper.
"So, Lorelai. Have you spoken to your parent's since .." he didn't know how to end the sentence but Lorelai knew what he meant.
"Umm, no. I haven't."
"Well, I think sometime soon you should inform them that you're doing alright and you have found a place to live."
Lorelai didn't want to argue with Will so she just nodded her head and said, "I'll call my dad tomorrow at his work so I won't have to talk to my mom."
"Good."
They finished their meals in comfortable silence. She rinsed her dishes off and went into the living room to call Sookie.
Luke was watching a baseball game on the tv next to the phone so she sat on his lap and dialed Sookie's number.
Luke moved down so Lorelai's legs were on his lap and he began to warm them up because they felt cold.
Lorelai smiled and heard someone pick up on the other line.
"Hello?" someone asked.
"Hi! Can I talk to Sookie please?"
"Hey Lorelai! It's me!"
"Hey Sook! Whats up? Luke said you called."
"Yeah, I did. It's just .. I have .. umm .. some news .." Sookie sounded serious.
"What's wrong Sook?" Lorelai became panicked.
"It's just .. umm .. the town knows."
"They know what?"
"They know that your pregenant." she whispered the last word.
"Oh my god." Lorelai sat up and it startled Luke. He was confussed and asked silently what was wrong.
"Sookie, who told the town?"
"Okay .. I'll tell you .. but you have to promise not to be mad and do something crazy." Sookie rushed
"Sook .. just please. I promise .. just tell me."
Sookie mumbled something into the phone.
"Your going to have to speak up, I didn't hear you."
"Rachel." Sookie said softly.
Lorelai jumped up with the phone still up to her ear and yelled, "RACHEL?"
Luke stood up next to her and asked her what was wrong and what Rachel did.
"Yeah. She told Miss Patty something that she was in the maternity store looking for a present for her aunt and saw you and Liz. She heard you both talking and you mentioned something about you being excited about the baby."
"Oh my god .. she's .. she's .. ahh! What did the town say?"
"Miss Patty said 'Way to go Luke, we knew you had it in ya.', Babbette and Mrs. Cassinni said basically the same thing but something dirtier, some paernts are concerned but they really don't care and Taylor .. well .. Taylor just scolded and said something like, 'It's that darn rock music.' But Rachel was calling you a slut and a whore and called Luke an innocent victim to your 'slutty ways'."
Lorelai tried to contain her breathing. She was so upset and full of hatred at the same time. How can somebody be so cruel? How can they say these things when I know for a fact that she did them too.
"Lorelai? Look, I'm really really sorry. I just needed to tell you before you heard it from other people." Sookie sounded sincere.
"Thanks Sook."
"No problem. And just to let ya know, me and Jackson already walked up to Rachel and said something. You're really lucky too."
"Aw, thanks Sookie! And why am I really lucky?"
"Because this whole town loves you and they hate Rachel now because of what she said about you. Miss Patty took a couple stabs at her already and Gypsy is already planning an attack on her."
Lorelai chuckled and said, "Sookie, thanks again. But I have to go. I need to talk to Luke."
"Kay hun. I'm sorry about this."
"No problem. Bye."
"Bye darling."
Lorelai hung up the receiver and looked up at Luke who looked scared.
"They know." she said as she put her head down.
"Who knows what?"
"The town they know." the tears began to trail down her cheeks.
"How?" Luke said softly but strenly.
"Rachel saw me and Liz shopping and heard us .. she told the town. She .. called me a whore .."
Luke pulled her into his arms and held her as she sobbed. He rocked her back and forth and whispered soothing words.
"Lorelai. What she said is not true and you know it. Don't worry. Please. Calm down. Nobody is going to care what happens in our lives because they know my father will have something to say aobut it."
Liz walked downstairs about that time and said, "I heard what happened and I'm really sorry. I'll be right back. I need to take care of somethings." she pulled on her coat and ran out the door.
Liz sprinted down the street and stopped infront of the blechers next to the baseball diamond.
She found who she was looking for and walked right up to them.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!"
"Excuse me?" Rachel answered back in a cocky tone.
"EXCUSE ME! ARE YOU SERIOUS! EXCUSE YOU BITCH! JUST BECAUSE LORELAI AND MY BRO ARE GOING TO HAVE A KID MEANS THAT YOU CAN JUST PRANCE AROUND HERE ALL HAPPY BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED! WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING! YOUR SUCH A PIECE OF SHIT! THEY WERE BOTH SO HAPPY ABOUT IT. THEY KNEW THEY COULDN'T TELL THE TOWN BECAUSE ATLEAST ONE PERSON WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY THAT WOULD BRING THEM DOWN! SO WHAT IF SHE'S PREGNANT? I'M PREGNANT TOO! ARE YOU GOING TO CALL ME A WHORE TOO! NO I DON'T THINK SO BECAUSE YOU KNOW I'D WALK RIGHT UP TO YOU AND BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU! YOU ONLY SAID THAT TO PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU KNEW LORELAI WOULDN'T RESORT TO THAT TYPE OF ANGER! WELL IF SHE DON'T, I WILL!"
Liz socked her in the face which made Rachel fall to the ground. Liz pushed her down so she was laying on her back, she sat on her and began pounding her face in until somebody pulled her back. She turned around to see Miss Patty holding her back with a bunch a few parents. Rachel stumbled up and ran away with her two friends behind her.
"Liz! Calm down!" Miss Patty said as Liz began breathing heavily.
"No! She can't get away with this! YOU MADE LORELAI CRY YOU DIRTBAG!"
"Liz, you did what you could. Now go home before we call your dad." she let her go and began dusting her off.
"You did good darling. Couldn't have done better myself." said Mrs. Cassinni.
"What? You mean, you aren't mad I went after her?" Liz said stunned.
"Nahh. Suga, we wanted to do that ourselves when we found out what she said about her darling."
"You did? I thought you guys would be in disgust."
"No dear! They are just young people who are sexually active and a mistake happened. Can't say that didn't happen to myself." Miss Patty said.
"Now go home because if we are right, and we usually are, little miss pris ran to her mother and her mom is calling your father right now."
"Thank you so much!" She hugged them all and ran back home.
Hope you liked it.
