Previously on Let Me Fall:

'Mom, are you sick?' she shakes her head immediately. 'I thought I was, but I got the answer today. I am way too old for this.' She moans and puts a cold wet washcloth on her forehead. 'What are you too old for? You're a Gilmore!' I cry and she groans.

'Ok, I am still confused here.' I say and she smirks. 'Kid, you're a graduate of Yale, figure it out. Your old mommy is preggers!' she then cringes. 'I hate that word!'

Rory and I have an announcement to make….I got this new job, we would have to move to New York. 'Ok, obviously you are concerned but that wasn't what we were announcing. Rory and I decided to get married before we move, so we're getting married!'..

'I love you Grandma, but man do you burn bridges. You can't expect to be rude and awful to us, and expect us to come to you with our arms wide open. You need to apologize to Jess, and Lane and everyone else you insulted tonight. And don't' worry about Grandpa, he loves you.'

'Is she ok?' Jess asks and I smile at him. He had been treated horribly, but my grandmother, and yet he is still kind and wonderful. 'I think she will be.'

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I woke up the next morning to the smell of French toast. I smiled and stumbled to our kitchen I had to smile at the sight of Jess, bedecked in the bodacious babe apron Mom had given us at our house warming. 'Hey.' I said and he looked up and he waved with the spatula in hand.

'Did I wake you?' he asks and I shrug. 'a little bit, but it's good. This smells amazing.' I said and he smiles and brings over a cup of coffee to our table. Usually it was full of notes from Jess's research for his books, or it was full of my research for my articles. But now it was clear and was set. 'Wow, what's the occasion?'

Jess shrugged. 'We are getting married, that's it.' He says and I smile and he puts down a plate of eggs, sausage and French toast. 'I could get used to this.' I said and he chuckled as I continued to shovel the food in.

'Didn't your Mother teach you to eat slowly?' He asks and then he shakes his head. 'No of course not, your mother is Lorelai Gilmore, queen of the fast eater.'

I knew that Jess was feeling stressed about the lack of progress that he was making and that now we had to go to New York and find a new apartment. I knew that apartments were something of a goldmine, and hopefully with our financing, we could get a semi adequate one that wasn't in Brooklyn. Like Miranda, I was not a Brooklyn girl.

I wondered how Mom's little conversation with Luke had gone. I knew that Luke had said at one time that he didn't like kids, but now with April and he had even taken care of Sookie and Jackson's kids, so he probably changed his mind.

'You ok?' Jess asks me after he noticed that I was staring into space. I shrugged. 'I'm just worried about Mom, she should have called me by now, but still no word?' I said and Jess shrugged. 'Why does she have to call you?' He asks and I realized that he didn't know about Mom.

I concentrated on getting the little bits of my scrambled eggs onto my fork. 'You know mother daughter, wedding details kind of thing.' I said and I tried not to show that I was nervous. 'Wow, maybe I made that coffee of yours a little bit too strong.' He says and takes my plate with his to the sink.

'We should think about going to New York this weekend?' He asks and I agree. 'Yeah sounds good.' I went to go get my shower, and by the time I was dressed, Jess was staring at his computer. Now that things were out in the open, I could see that Jess was really having trouble with his writers block.

'Jess?' I called and he looked at me and i had to smile. He looked like a scared little boy. He had grown so much, changed, and now with all of that behind him, he had lost his voice somehow. 'Jess, maybe you just need to take some time?' But Jess ignored me and continued to look at the blank computer screen.

When I was in heavy panic mode during my final finals at Yale, Jess would sit and watch me flutter from one subject to another, with my maniacal schedule. He would smirk, and I would think just you wait, and apparently, it has come up much sooner than I had originally thought.

I sighed and picked up the phone to call Mom. I still couldn't believe that I potentially had a future sibling on the way. Mom picked up. 'Massachusetts State home.' She says and I tried to make myself sound serious. 'Yes hi, I would like to commit my mother, she's so crazy.' I ended up laughing. 'Your so mean to me! I am with child, that means you must buy me pretty things.'

I chuckled. 'So have you told Luke yet?' I asked and she didn't say anything. 'Mom! You have to tell him.' 'I tried to Rory, I really did. I tried to tell him at first, but I just couldn't get the words out, so then I tried to do it like that episode of full house?' I tried very hard not to laugh.

'Mom, just say it like last night. That was good. I don't think the way you tell him really matters?' I said and she was silent. 'Fine, I will tell him. You are taking the Susan Lucci out of me kid.'

I walked into one of the nicest hotels in Hartford to meet with my Grandmother. The way she was acting last night on the porch of the crap shack unnerved me. She had called me this afternoon and said she wanted to speak to me and gave me the directions to this place. Before Yale, I would have felt out of place, and that I was dirtying their doorstep, but luckily after Yale, I knew that I was an ivy leaguer. That held distinction. And after that thought I wanted to snort at how Chilton like that sounded.

Grandma was sitting with a man dressed very finely. I walked towards her and she smiled and waved at me to come on over. I sat down and I didn't see any of the distress that affected her so last night.

'Rory, this is Henrie Lassier.' Grandmother says and I shake his hand. 'Hi, Nice to meet you.' Grandma orders me a coffee. 'Well Rory, Henrie here is your wedding planner and organizer.' I coughed and I looked at Grandma to see if she was kidding.

'Are you serious Grandma?' I asked and she looked at me like I was being rude. 'Thank you for this gesture, but really it's not necessary. Mom and Sookie are helping me with the details. But thank you for the offer.'

I looked around the dining room to see if I could escape. 'I don't think you understand Rory, he is in charge of your wedding.' Grandma says more firmly, and Henrie shifts uncomfortably. Grandma had severely backed off after a blow up after my graduation.

She had wanted to throw me a graduation party, and it happened to be the same day as the one that Mom and I had planned together. When I told this to Grandma, she had gone ballistic saying that I needed to forget Stars hallow, because it was beneath me. Also she starts mentioning how much she did for me.

Paying for Chilton, Yale, it was at this time that I realized what strings mom mentioned when i first told her about the deal to pay for Yale. I had firmly and very loudly informed my grandmother that no Hartford was not part of my life anymore and that she should take care, or she may be included in that list.

I had learnt over the years how to deal with her. At first I was naïve and that that all the manipulations that Mom claimed Grandma had mastered were exaggerations. I had lived in the pool house for a few months, and in that time I had seen the real Emily Gilmore. She was the puppet master.

'I really appreciate this, but Jess and I want a simple wedding at the Dragonfly, and with our family and friends, and Mom and Sookie can handle it.' Over the years I got better at asserting myself. I used to let what mom thought I wanted guide me to places I never wanted to go. And the rest of the time I was being 'guided' by Grandmother, into something that was so far from what I wanted.

'Rory, you may be marrying this boy, but people from our world will be there and they expect things.' Grandma said and I just stared at her. 'Your world grandma, I don't want it.' I said and I started to get up. 'Grandma, I don't understand why you can't see past this world that you seem to think is so great. Are you happy grandma? Because after last night, I really doubt that you are. Nice meet you Henrie.'

I turned and walked out of the dining room and out of the hotel, and I thought of my arrogance before. I may look like I belong there, but I knew that Stars Hallow and Jess was the place where I know I was home.

Lorelai had known what was wrong with her for almost 48 hours before she managed to tell Luke. She didn't quite know why she was so nervous about telling him. She knew he wanted kids, or more kids as the case may be. When she had found out about April, she had mourned the loss of giving him the children that he wanted, but now, she discovered that whether or not she was expecting this, it was happening.

She looked down at her stomach. 'Your barely the size of a pea, and yet your causing trouble.' She said and then she scoffed at herself. Whatever hormones she had, they were making her even crazier than her normal self.

Luke was watching the 'game' that he had been talking about all week. He made her promise not to interrupt it, it didn't matter the circumstances, so she sat on the stairs quietly watching Luke watch the stupid game.

Rory had told her to just tell him a day ago, and she had tried so many times. She had tried to make him eat all 'baby sized' foods and even would sing songs out loud with the word baby in them. She even tried to implant it into his brain, but alas, no luck. She had to gain the balls to tell her husband that she was pregnant.

She knew she wasn't a spring chicken; she was dancing very close to the scary forty-year mark. Sure, forty was the new twenty, but frankly, if that was true, she was a VERY old twenty. But of course at twenty she had a four year old.

'You know I can hear you?' Luke says and she looks up and sees Luke staring at her. 'I am waiting for the game to end.' She says and Luke sighs and turns off the TV. 'It's a boring game.' He says and he motions for her to join him.

It had been almost four years of bliss for Luke. He had truly found the person that he was meant to be with. And with that turn of phrase, e tried not to roll his eyes at it. Before when Lorelai didn't know about his feelings, he used to think that nothing could be better than loving her. But then he kissed her, and he realized that he was wrong. There was nothing better in the world than being loved by Lorelai Gilmore.

He thought that after that first kiss that he could live off of that for years. If Lorelai suddenly realized that she didn't want to be with him, he could live off that one kiss. But the minute she kissed him again on the porch, he was hooked.

Being with Lorelai was easy; he couldn't remember really what his life was like before they were together. He just remembered brief feelings of despair and loneliness. It's hard to remember back to the feelings of being miserable, when you are soaked through in happiness.

Lorelai was beautiful to be sure, but there was this light within her that made everyday exciting. It sounded corny or full of clichés but that was the truth.

'Luke?' she said and he had to look up and he noticed where he was. 'Yeah sorry.' He simply said and looked at Lorelai. She looked pale, and he knew that there was something wrong with her. She had spent a lot of time in the bathroom, and he was just waiting for her to tell him what was going on.

'I ate an apple today, more than one actually.' Lorelai said and I had to concentrate on her to actually get what she was trying to say. 'Well an apple a day keeps the doctor away.' Luke quips and even gets a smile out of Lorelai. 'Well guaranteed there will be doctors.' She mumbled and this made him more nervous. Brief flashes of cancer and grave illnesses that took away his family, and his security bit by bit took over his mind. 'What do you mean?' Luke's voice filled with anxiety.

'Well I..we..you…so..i can't do this. It was easy with Rory..' Lorelai says and gets up. She starts to pace. 'Lorelai, just tell me?' Luke says and he watches her as she paces in the entry way of the house. 'Fine, I'm pregnant Luke.' She says and suddenly Luke is hugging her. They are beyond close at this point. 'You sure?' Luke says after a few very great kissing moments.

'yeah I'm sure.' Lorelai whispers and she doesn't let go of Luke. She closed her eyes and Luke just tried to wrap his mind around the fact that he was going to be a father again. And this time, it was from the beginning. A clean slate if you will.

'Wow' they both said at the same time.

Next time on Let Me Fall: Lane and Rory look at dresses and Richard meets with Jess to discuss some things and reveals some truths about Emily.
