ok, so, i lied, this is the flashback/Rory's reaction...review!
Lorelai woke up that morning feeling happy and blessed. Then she stood up. The next thing she knows, she's emptying the contents of her stomach. She then gets up and has a sudden craving for an apple; so she goes down stairs and tries to eat an apple, but, once again, her body rejects her chosen food, and she is in the downstairs bathroom.
'Oh no.' she thinks, and then gets out her planner. 'My last period was...about a month ago'
She walks over to the desk, looks in the phone book, then picks up the phone and dials a number.
"Yes, I'm Lorelai Danes, I need to schedule an appointment for today if possible." She says into the receiver.
"One moment, I'll see if we have anything open." There is silence on the other end, and then the woman asks, "Would today at 2:30 work for you?"
"Two thirty will be perfect. Thank you so much." She says, then hangs up the phone, and goes back upstairs to take a shower; all the while thinking about the very real possibility of her carrying Luke's baby.
--------------
She walks into the diner and is greeted with a kiss from her husband of three months.
"It's early, what are you doing here?" he asks her.
She looks at the clock, "Babe, it's one o'clock. I'm not a hermit." She jokes.
"Well, I know that, but you're usually at the inn, is everything ok?"
"Yeah, I just needed to get out of there, Michel is bugging me about the guests in room nine and why do we allow couples with small children in the inn because I know he doesn't like kids."
"Well, that's Michel for you." He says with a smile.
"Don't I know it." She smiles back.
"Coffee?" he asks, reaching for the mug.
"No, I just came to tell you that I'm going to Hartford to spend some time with Rory, so I'll see you later?" she lies.
"Ok, so was that a no on the coffee?"
"Yes it was a no, Rory and I will get something at one of the coffee shops there." She says lying yet again. She can't tell him, until she knows for sure that she is pregnant with their child.
"Alright. Have fun, I love you." He says.
"I love you too." She says, giving him a kiss, and walking out the door.
--------------
"May I help you?" a blonde woman asks.
"Yes, I'm here for a two thirty appointment with Dr. Phoenix, I'm Lorelai Danes."
"Sign in here and the nurse will call you back shortly." The blonde says.
Lorelai does as she is told and goes and sits down, picking up a PARENT magazine, and flips through it until she hears her name being called.
--------------
"Congratulations, you're six weeks pregnant." Dr. Phoenix says.
"Well…I assume I do everything the same. See, the last time I was pregnant was twenty-one years ago, and…"
"Everything is pretty much the same. The nurse is going to come and give you some prenatal vitamins and another appointment to come back a month from now, just a routine check-up. Congratulations again Mrs. Danes."
She smiles, "Thank you doctor."
--------------
She goes back to the jeep, once she is buckled and ready to go, she places her hand on her stomach, and smiles. She's pregnant with Luke's child.
She turns the car on, and makes her way on to the free way. She's driving along, happy as a clam listening to the Bangles, "Eternal Flame" when all of a sudden a truck veers into her lane, and everything goes dark.
--------------
"Luke? Luke?" Rory says, trying to pull him from his thoughts.
He turns to the beautiful young woman who he can call his daughter, and says, "Yeah?"
"Congratulations, I guess." She says. "You made me a big sister! And mom made you a daddy." She says, smiling.
"Yeah, she did. You're ok with this?" he asks.
She smiles and says, "How could I not be ok with this. All these years I was wishing that we could be related, and now, we are. The baby is a part of you and mom, so that means that the baby is a part of me."
