Okay I found out recently that you can no longer use song lyrics for fics. This pisses me off very much. I had a really cool story I was working on with the lyrics to "Something to Sleep to" by Michelle Branch, but alas my plans were foiled. I also had to wait before I could update again. That was the issue with the chapter delay, and I went to Myrtle Beach (Hells yeah!). Anyhoo, I hope you like this chapter. Right now I have put very little thought in as to what this chapter will be about. I kind of have a general idea, but that's about it. I hope you enjoy it.
Different PlansPink.
Pink. It was pink. She double checked the instructions and made sure that she read them correctly. Pink is positive, blue is negative. Yep, it's positive. She thought to herself. Riiiiinnngg!
Lorelai flinched so hard that she almost fell off the toilet. She was going to ignore it, but realized that it might be Rory or Luke, so she hi-tailed it to the phone.
"Hello?"
"Lorelai, it's your mother. I wanted to know if you wanted to pick up the things that Rory left in the pool house."
"Oh. Um, yeah. Okay. What time?"
"What about this afternoon?" (A/N: This is the next day.)
"Um sure. 2:00?"
"Sounds good. See you then, good bye."
"Yeah, bye mom." She said hanging up the phone.
She looked at the clock, it read 8:12. Still time for coffee. She thought cheerfully.
"Hey." Lorelai said upon arrival into the diner. She went up to Luke, who was juggling three plates and a coffee pot, and gave him a very heated kiss. In doing this, she caused him to drop the plates and to spill the coffee on himself. She had a nice burst of laughter, and then helped him clean up.
"Come on." She said pulling him up to his apartment.
"Feeling better this morning?" He asked.
"Surprisingly yes. Especially since I received a call from my mother."
"What did she want?"
"She wanted to know if I wanted to go and get the rest of Rory's stuuf from the pool house. I'm going over there at 2:00."
"Okay. I'll go with you. We can tell your parents then." Luke said taking his shirt off.
"Tell them what?" Lorelai asked innocently.
"The news. The very good news" He said to her.
"What? The news about Kirk finding a home finally." She said.
"The other good news, the big news. You know involving that very large diamond ring your wearing on your left hand." He said putting another shirt back on. (A/N: which is a pity because Scott Patterson has a nice chest.)
"Oh yeah…" Lorelai said blushing. Luke smiled at her and put his hat back on.
"Speaking of big and great news, I have some." She said with an unsure smile.
"Oh yeah?" Luke said with a hint of a smile.
"Um yeah. Remember what you told the elders." Luke nods
"Which part"
"You know the part about us starting a family?"
"Yeah?" He says with a smile curling up his lips.
"Well how would you like to start one? In say, nine months?" She said quickly looking up from the floor at Luke, whose jaw had dropped so far, it looked as if it was going to fall off.
"Luke? Say something."
Luke gave her kiss similar to the one she had given to him not twenty minutes earlier, then said, "I love you."
"I love you too." She said with a smile that shone like the diamond on her finger.
"You know what my mother's going to say. That you're marrying me because I'm pregnant."
"But, that's not true."
"It doesn't matter."
"Then let's get married next week, and tell her that you got pregnant on the honeymoon."
"Next week?" She said with a big smile. "That's a little fast to plan don't you think?" she added.
"Not if it is a small wedding."
"Mom will hate that. Sounds perfect." She said giving him a kiss.
"I can't wait to tell …." Lorelai said excitingly but then trailing off. "Oh no Luke. What about Rory? I can't do this without her." She said saddened.
"We can try and find her. But if we can't, will you still want to get married?" He asked, a little worried. Lorelai sat and thought this over. "Because I will understand if you don't want to. I know Rory comes first, and she would be very upset if she missed it." Luke quickly added.
"You're right she would be upset. But, I also thin that she would be upset if I didn't marry you. You should marry someone you love." She said gazing up to him. Luke put his arm around her and guided her downstairs to fix her some decaf coffee.
"Lorelai, you're here!" Sookie called as she entered.
"Hey Sookie." She said with a semi-sad smile.
"What's going on? You look like your sad but glowing at the same time. Is that possible or am I just going crazy?" She said.
"I think it is." Lorelai said going to make some more coffee.
"So? What's going on? What did your mother say to you yesterday?"
"Not much. She gave me the note that Rory left me when she ran away to New York with Logan." She said as if it was nothing.
"What?"
"Rory's gone." Lorelai said quietly. Just as she was about to sip her coffee Sookie spoke up again.
"So what are you glowing about? I know it's not Rory…" A smile arose to Lorelai's face.
"I'm pregnant!" She and Sookie started squealing and jumping around in eachother arms when suddenly Lorelai stopped.
"What's wrong?" Sookie asked confused.
"I shouldn't be this happy without Rory."
"Oh honey, just because you don't have Rory here to enjoy the good things with, doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy them." Sookie said soothing her.
"I Know, but it doesn't feel right." She said sipping coffee. "Wow, this is good."
"Yeah? It's a new blend from – wait a minute! Put that coffee down!"
"What? Why?"
"Um, Because you are with child. Luke would kill you and me if he found out his pregnant fiancé was in here drinking coffee."
"Well… Fine. Oh, Sookie?"
"Yeah?"
"Could you not tell anyone that I'm pregnant?"
"What! Why? They'll be thrilled!"
"Well We're pushing up the wedding to next week and saying that I got pregnant on the honeymoon. Just want to avoid any judgments you know."
"Honey you don't have to worry about anybody judging you about that here."
"It's not here that I'm worrying about. It's my mother."
"Ah. So where will you be wedding?"
"Actually I'm not sure. We haven't discussed any of that yet. At two we're going to pick up Rory's stuff, so I'll talk to him about it then."
In Luke's Truck On The Way to Hartford
"So, where do you want to get married?"
"I thought maybe the inn. If you guys have an opening in your schedule."
"Yeah we have one for July 3rd. Does that sound good?"
"Perfect."
"So we have set a date. Now it's official."
"Now all we have to do is tell everyone we want to invite, your parents first."
"There gonna know."
"Know what?"
"That I'm pregnant."
"They might, but I doubt it."
"I hope that they don't figure it out. I'll never hear the end of that one."
"It'll all be okay." Luke said taking her hand. "I promise."
So I hope you like it, and hope that give me many many reviews! I also want to say that I was not planning to Author's notes in the middle of the story, I just couldn't resist. It was fun. Anyway please review. Also, Those of you who have read 'The Apple That Changed My Whole Life', does anyone have suggestions on what to do with that. I'm probably not supposed to be asking what to do with that on this fic, but I don't care. SO be bossy. Tell me what to do. Also, those of you who want to write a fanfiction, but don't know what or who to write about, I reccomend Luke and Lorelai. They are the best! Okay, now I will grow up and move on because my dad is annoying me, and I have to babysit tonight. Ta ta
