Thank you all for your wonderful reviews. They really made my day. I missed getting them over the last few weeks. Please keep them coming. This chapter is a little shorter, but you will see why at the bottom. I was going to be mean and make you wait till tomorrow but I decidedI like being kind instead, so here is the next chapter. I'm not sure when I will be able to update next as I have a hectic week, butI will try make it soon.
Disclaimer: I sure I've done this enough, but I own only the idea
Lorelai was first to pull out from the hug. She looked at look with a big smile on her face
Luke: this is real right and you are?
Lorelai: yes its real and yes it means we did it. We are going to have a baby
Luke: wow. Now if I weren't so happy I think the fact that I'm holding a stick you peed on would be just gross.
Lorelai: oh yeah sorry, didn't really think about that
Luke: are you sure this isnt a false positive
Lorelai: I'm sure, doctor confirmed it yesterday
Luke: yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?
Lorelai: cause I needed a Christmas present for you
Luke: I want to kiss you so badly
Lorelai: you do huh
Luke: yeah
Just as Luke was about to kiss Lorelai, she pulled back.
Lorelai: I think my mom can see
Luke: what?
Lorelai: my mom is staring at us
Luke: oh
Lorelai: go upstairs to use the bathroom, to freshen up before dinner and I will meet you there.
Luke did just that; he excused himself and made his way upstairs. Lorelai stayed back for a few minutes talking to Kirk about the toaster before slipping away upstairs. Before Lorelai was fully in her room Luke pulled her into a passionate kiss. He closed the bedroom door and led her over to the edge of the bed. They sat there, Lorelai with her head rested on his shoulder and Luke just staring off at the test in his hands.
Lorelai: so I take it your happy with the outcome of our activities 2 weeks ago
Luke: yes, God its weird. We conceived our baby boy or girl here in this bed 2 weeks ago.
Lorelai: yeah, and your ok that it wasn't planned. I know we agreed to wait of few months.
Luke: but this is what we wanted, no matter when it happened. I want this so much
Lorelai: ah butch Danes you old softy.
Luke: very wrong sentence to utter there missy
Lorelai: sorry
Luke: its ok, you can get away with it, just today ok?
Luke lifted her head off his shoulder and kissed her passionately
Luke: thank you
Lorelai: no I should be thanking you
Luke: are we going to tell anyone yet?
Lorelai: I want to but I think I need to think about how to tell Rory, I really don't know how she will react.
Luke: ok, but think of a way soon.
Lorelai laid her head back on his shoulder and sat like that for a few minutes, until there was a knock on the bedroom door. Lorelai lifted her head off.
Lorelai: come in
Sookie: so this is where the party went.
Lorelai: yeah sorry
Sookie: so what are you two doing up here away from the party?
Luke and Lorelai looked at each other with a big smile and Lorelai gave Luke a small nod of her head. His smile grew bigger
Sookie: ok what's going on, smiling Luke is scaring me
Lorelai: you might want to sit for this Sookie
Sookie: what? What is it?
Lorelai: well…. Luke and I
Luke: we are uh..
Lorelai: I'm pregnant Sookie
Sookie: oh my god!
Lorelai: sshhh Sookie, you are the first to find out.
Sookie: when did this happen?
Lorelai: well we've been trying for a while but it worked 2 weeks ago and here I am today tell Luke and you that I will be having another offspring.
Luke: you got told the sanitary way
Lorelai: hey, I thought it was a nice idea, give it back if you don't want it.
Luke: I want it
Sookie: you gave him what?
Luke: she gave me the pregnancy test as my Christmas test.
Sookie: that's so cute. I can't believe you two hooked up and nobody knows. This town has been waiting for it for so long and they missed it.
Lorelai: we were sneaky
Rory: mom you up here?
Rory was on her way up the stairs
Lorelai: Sookie don't tell her anything ok
Sookie: ok
Rory: here you all are, grandma is getting in one of her moods. She wants to know when dinner will be served.
Luke: I will go see to that
Lorelia: thanks
With one last beaming smile at each other Luke made his way down stairs and into the kitchen. Putting out the food with a cheesy grin on his face. He got a small fright when Emily snuck up on him
Emily: what's going on here today ?
Luke: uh, Mrs Gilmore, what do you mean?
Emily: you and my daughter. She sneaks off with you to give you a present then you two disappear upstairs. This is not how you throw a dinner party.
Luke: it's not how you throw a dinner party. But the rest of us are having fun. We don't stick to a schedule. Dinner is ready if you would like to take a seat at the table. Emily left the room in a huff.
Emily: Richard, apparently dinner is ready now. Come sit
Rory, Kirk, Richard and Emily all sat at the table while Luke brought through the food. Jackson got Davey set up in his high chair and joined them. Sookie and Lorelai were still upstairs no doubt talking about the baby. If was a few minutes still until they joined the rest at the table. Lorelai took a seat next to Luke and Sookie. Opposite her were Emily and Rory.
Lorelai: thank you all for coming and joining us on Christmas. This has been a really great day.
Lorelai took hold of Luke's hand under the table. Only Sookie noticed and she smiled.
Lorelai: so lets eat this amazing food that Luke has been so kind as to cook
Rory: yeah thanks Luke
The table bustled with lighthearted conversation. Even Emily and Richard were drawn in by the incomparable Kirk. He certainly did have a way about him that made you laugh. The dinner was great and pudding even better.
After a few more drinks and childhood Christmas stories from everyone sans Lorelai, everyone was ready to leave. Sookie and Jackson left to put Davey to bed. Emily and Richard left as by their standards it was very late. Kirk was convinced to go home and sort things out with his mommy and Rory made her way to bed. Luke and Lorelai were left in the kitchen with the last few dishes and tidying.
Luke: so good Christmas?
Lorelai: wonderful Christmas
Luke: yeah, I still can't believe we are going to be parents. Oh I know you are already, but you and me, we are going to do this together
Lorelai: together. I like that
Luke: I am going to be here for you and the baby no matter what
Lorelai: I know, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've got to go see the doctor after New Years. You want to come see your baby
Luke: of course.
Luke took Lorelai's hand and led her to the couch where she curled up in his embrace.
Lorelai: do you want to watch a movie?
Luke: sure
Lorelai: ooh, I have the perfect one
Luke: ok
Lorelai got up and put in a home birthing video that she had bought a few years back to scare Rory away from ever wanting to have sex and fall pregnant. When she sat back on the couch she hit play. It was at the moment when the baby was crowning. Lorelai couldn't help but laugh as she watched Luke's face.
Luke: ah jeez, why did you put this on?
Lorelai: well I thought you better get used to it cause in 8 and a half months you will be experiencing this for yourself
Luke: I'm not going in there
Lorelai: yes you are, you knock me up and don't want to be there when he or she is born.
Luke: I will happily sit outside the hospital and wait.
Lorelai: I know you don't like hospitals but you will be in there, I don't care.
Luke: bossy are we. Fine but I am staying by your head, I am not looking at that
Luke points to the screen with a disgusted look on his face
Luke: god that looks painful
Lorelai: oh trust me it is
Luke: can we turn this off please
Lorelai: sure
Lorelai takes out the tape and puts in another.
Luke: a movie this time?
Lorelai: yeah, Willy wonka
Luke: ah jeez
Lorelai: I could put the….
Luke: no this is fine. Come sit
Lorelai returned to the couch and snuggled up in his arms.
Lorelai: hey Luke
Luke: yeah
Lorelai: thanks
Luke just smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Luke placed his hand on her stomach and held her close. They stayed in that position for the whole movie and even fell asleep.
Rory awoke in the middle of the night and was going to fetch a glass of water when she heard the TV was still on. She made her way to the lounge where she saw her mom and Luke cuddled up together. She switched the TV off and made her way back to her room where she sat for a while wondering why her mom and Luke couldn't see that they loved each other. She would have to do something about this once and for all.
Sorry to leave it there but if I continued I don't think there would have been a better place to stop. Please review and let me know what you thought, I rely on peoples opinions. Oh and for all of you who guessed that it was the pregnancy test, congrats. I try having a cliffhanger ending but you all guessed it
Thanks again
