Chapter 5:
The Secret is Out
Lorelai looked around the table and saw smiling faces. Lorelai's eyes landed on Rory and saw her smile.
"Congratulations mom!" Rory said getting up and walking over to her mom to hug her.
"Thanks hon."
Lorelai and Rory embraced. Rory began to cry and just a few seconds later so did Lorelai.
"Your having a baby." Rory said letting go of her mom.
"Yeah, I guess I am." Lorelai said smiling.
"Lets eat. I'm starving." Rory said wiping her eyes and sitting down.
Lorelai sat down and they all began to eat.
The dinner went by quick. They talked about the baby mostly, but the conversation went elsewhere also. After dinner Sookie and Jackson put Martha and Davey to bed in Rory's room while Luke, Rory, April and Lorelai began to clean the kitchen. After they were done they all went into the living room and sat down.
"I can't believe that your pregnant." Sookie said to Lorelai.
"Neither can I sometimes."
"What's weird is that Luke is having a baby too."
"How is that weird?" Luke said to Sookie.
"You always said you would never have kids."
"Yeah, but I changed that." Lorelai said smiling at Luke.
They sat there for a while longer talking then it was time for them to go. A few minutes after Sookie, Jackson, Davey, and Martha left Rory stood up.
"I'm going to go."
"No." Lorelai said standing up. "Stay here tonight."
"I can't. I have finals tomorrow." Rory said hugging her mom, then Luke. "I'm going to take April with me."
"To Yale?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah. She could come and explore. I know she would like the libraries."
"Really?" April asked.
"Do you mind Luke?" Lorelai asked.
"No." He pauses. "It would be good for them to get to know each other."
"If Luke said yes then it's a yes."
"I'll go get my bags." April said running into Rory's room. Lorelai walked into the kitchen and a few moments later she came back with a to go cup of coffee.
"This is some coffee Luke made." She hands it to Rory. "It isn't decaf so I can't have it, so I thought you should take it."
"Thanks mom."
"I'm ready." April said walking into the living room.
"Ok well we better get on the road." Rory said to April. "Congratulations again. Thanks for dinner Luke."
"Your welcome."
Rory and April went out to the car and loaded the bags into the trunk. Lorelai and Luke watched them from the porch.
"Bye guys! Love you mom." Rory said getting into the car.
Luke waved bye as they drove out and walked back inside. Lorelai stood there and watched the car lights fade away. She then turned around and went into the house and shut the door. She walked into the kitchen and pulled out a glass from the cabinet and poured herself a glass of milk. She gulped it down then shut the light out and went upstairs.
Luke was changing into sweat pants and t-shirt when Lorelai came in. She walked over to Luke's flannel drawer and pulled out her favorite flannel. It was a dark blue one. She had claimed it as her own since the night of their first date. She took off her dress and slipped the flannel over her bra. She picked her dress up off of the floor and put it in the hamper. She then walked over to the king sized bed and slipped underneath the covers. Luke shut the bedroom light off and got in next to Lorelai.
"You alright?"
"I'm fine except I feel a little queasy."
"Well if you need anything I'll get it."
"Ok." Lorelai said closing her eyes.
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Lorelai fell asleep instantly, but Luke was a different story. He tossed and turned. He could never get comfortable. Finally around midnight he fell asleep.
