Previously on Gilmore Girls:
"Hello... Oh, hey Luke… uh, no, I don't think she wants to talk to you right now. Yeah, I'll get her to call you. Bye."

"Lorelai… I didn't think I'd see you today…"
-- -- -- -- --
"Lorelai… I… It's not your fault. I should have told you about April sooner. And you left so quickly last night, you didn't give me a chance to say how happy I am about the baby."
-- -- -- -- --
"You… You're sure?" Asked Lorelai, still shocked from what Luke had said.
"Yes, I'm sure. I'm totally happy about this." Replied Luke, putting his arms around Lorelai
"Aw, well that's good." Said Lorelai, smiling
"Do you two want something to eat?"
"No, we just ate. We'll come back later though. I have to check on the Inn."
"Okay, see you then."
"Yeah, and don't forget we have to go to dinner tonight." Said Lorelai
"So, are you telling the Grandparents tonight?" Asked Rory as they walked down the street
"Ummm… Probably not." Said Lorelai, after a moment of contemplation
"You know that the longer you wait, the angrier they'll be." Pointed out Rory
"Yah, yah, I know." Sighed Lorelai. By this time they had arrived home, so Lorelai went upstairs to change and Rory went into her room to study. Shortly after Lorelai had left, the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Rory? It's your grandmother."
"Oh. Hello Grandma."
"Is your mother at home?" Emily asked, getting straight to the point
"No, she's at the Inn." Replied Rory
"Oh, well, are you planning on coming to dinner tonight?"
"Yes, and Luke's coming too."
"Okay, thank you dear, we'll see you tonight."
"Bye Grandma." Said Rory, and hung up the phone, and went back to studying. About 2 hours later, Lorelai came home, and they went to the Diner for lunch. April was there, writing the specials on the chalkboard above the kitchen. Lorelai and Rory sat down at the counter, and Luke came to serve them- he had been expecting them and already had 2 cheeseburgers and fries waiting for them. When April finished writing on the board she turned to Luke.
"Is Lorelai mad at me?" She asked, innocently
"No, no she's not."
"Good, because I hate when people are mad at me."
"Yeah, I do too." Replied Luke
"Do you think I could go introduce myself?"
"Sure, go ahead."
April made her way over to Lorelai and Rory's table, introducing herself and holding out her hand for them to shake. Rory looked quite impressed. Lorelai invited April to sit down, and she did. She and Rory were deep in a discussion about Moby Dick when Lorelai excused herself and came to the counter.
"She's quite something Luke."
"Yeah, I suppose she is. Do you like her?"
"Yeah, I do. She's really smart and pretty funny; I think she'll fit in great."
A/N: Sorry I haven't updated, but I've been busy. Next Chapter will be Friday night dinner, and Lorelai will meet Anna Nardini. Also, Rory meets someone new!
