"God these chairs are uncomfortable" Lorelai moaned, shifting around to find a better position to sit in.
"Stop fidgeting"
"You would think they would put more comfortable chairs in the OB/GYN"
"They're hospital chairs, what do you expect"
"As if sitting in a waiting room wasn't bad enough"
"You don't have to tell me that" Luke had walked in fast, sat down in the nearest chair and closed his eyes immediately.
"Aww, you can just wait outside if you want" Lorelai rubbed his arm, hoping it would make him feel better.
"No way, I'm staying"
"Well it shouldn't be too long now" Lorelai glanced up at the clock, glad that Luke couldn't see they still had another fifteen minutes.
Lorelai and Luke walked straight from the doctor's office and out into the car park. They kept going until they got to Luke's truck. They both jumped in and slammed the doors behind them. Lorelai reached for something in her back pocket and pulled it out. Placing it between them.
"Wow"
"Yeah" Luke couldn't stop staring at the square sonogram picture of his child. Lorelai squinted her eyes at the photo and cocked her head to one side.
"I think it looks like me" Luke rolled his eyes.
"Lorelai"
"It's got your funny shaped head though"
"I do not have a…never mind" H shook his head, knowing it was better not to go there.
"That's our kid Luke"
"Yeah"
"That's our kid"
"You said that already"
"I'm sorry, I just never had someone to share this with before"
"You had Chris"
"Didn't go to a single doctors appointment"
"I'm sorry" Lorelai shrugged.
"The past is the past, I'm over it" Luke leaned over and linked their hands together, squeezing her hand reassuringly.
"Come, on, we still have one more job to do in Hartford" Lorelai groaned. "You can't back out now"
"Fine, but lets go get hundreds of copies of this photo to give to everyone first"
"Deal"
Luke pulled up to the side of the road just outside the Gilmore mansion and switched off the engine.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
"I'm never ready" She relied. He reached into the back, pulled out a copy of the sonogram and handed it to Lorelai. He shrugged.
"Might go over better with a visual aid" Lorelai gave him a small grateful smile and took the photo from him. She opened the door and stepped out.
"I won't be long" She spoke before closing the door behind her. She wrapped her coat around her, cross her arms and took in a deep breath. Preparing herself.
She walked up to the front door and her finger hovered over the doorbell. She jumped when her cell phone rung suddenly. She pulling it our of her pocket and answered.
"Hello?"
"Just ring the doorbell already" Lorelai spun round but there was no way Luke could see her from his spot in the car.
"How do you do that?"
"Just do it" He hung up and she laughed. She pressed the doorbell and waited impatiently for the maid to make it across the large house to the front door. The door opened and Lorelai didn't wait for the unfamiliar maid to invite her in. She walked in and right through to the dining room where she knew they would be having lunch.
"Lorelai!" Their knives and forks were dropped as Lorelai walked into the room, shock evident on their faces.
"I came to tell you something so I don't want any interruptions. Me and Luke got married, we eloped and we're happy so there's nothing you can do to break us apart. I'm also pregnant. Here's the sonogram" She threw the photo down onto the table. "I'm here to tell you that you can either support me and Luke and our kid. You'll be a part of it's life and we'll continue with Friday night dinners. Or you can stay far away. If you don't support me and my family I don't even want to see you again. I won't return your phone calls and you will never meet your grandchild. Your decision" Lorelai didn't wait for a reply. She turned and walked back out of the room. Emily and Richard sat frozen, their jaws dropped open at Lorelai's little speech.
