Hey I'm back, not sure if this chapter will live up to the standards I am setting for myself and for you so please feel free to criticise. Enjoy and remember that its only my idea not my characters.

He had only felt this feeling one other time in his life, and that was 2 weeks ago when he woke up with her in his arms. Why he couldn't just get up the guts to ask her out and make it all official was beyond him, all the hard stuff was done already. They were having a baby, but they were still only best friends. One day, he promised himself, one day I will speak to her.

With that, he got up slowly, lowering Lorelai onto the couch. She was sound asleep so Luke sat on the coffee table for about 5 minutes watching her be so calm. When it became necessary for him to leave and open the diner he gave her a kiss on the forehead and whispered to her

Luke: I love you, congratulations

A small smile curved at his lips at the thought of his child. It was going take some getting used to. Luke Danes was going to be a father. He was finally going to have a child he can form a special bond with like he had with his parents. He could try imparting some healthy eating tips and sports knowledge that he knew Lorelai wouldn't. He could simply have someone new to love.

He made his way towards the diner wanting to scream out to all the early rises of Stars Hollow. He knew it was very unLuke like behaviour so he didn't. He opened the diner as usual and it was quite, and just after nine both Lorelai and Rory walked in to get their breakfast. Lorelai walked in with her usually smile, but today she glowed too.

Luke: hey

Lorelai: hi

Rory: hey Luke

Luke: what can I get you?

Rory: 2 coffees'. Burgers and extra fries

Luke: uh….

Lorelai: ooh yeah coffee!

Luke gave Lorelai a strange look.

Lorelai: go get us a table sweets and I will bring the coffee.

Rory walked over and got a table by the window. She was out of earshot of Lorelai and Luke.

Lorelai: care to explain that dirty look you gave me just now

Luke: I don't want you drinking coffee; I want my baby to have one head.

Luke said the last bit quietly. Lorelai let out of soft laugh and smiled a big smile.

Lorelai: while 2 heads would be interesting I would also like a normal kid so decaf will do, I will just have to make sure Rory doesn't see until we have managed to tell her about everything.

Luke: good. When do you think you would want to do that?

Lorelai: I don't know, maybe after the New Year and we've seen the doctor. I don't know if it's best to tell her on her own or get her and my parents out of the way at the same time.

Luke: do you think doing either of those ways will make any of them take it any easier?

Lorelai: I don't know, I really don't know how Rory will react. I know my parents will be disappointed, angry, upset….

Luke: it won't be that bad.

Lorelai: how do you know?

Luke: cause you aren't doing it alone, it was planned and come on this is a baby. Who wouldn't be happy about welcoming a new life into the world?

Lorelai: if only they all could see things like you Mr optimistic.

Luke: I'm just happy

Lorelai: I can see that.

Rory: mom, stop talking to Luke so he can go make us the burgers I'm starved

Luke: I will get them going. Decafs in the blue mug

Lorelai: thanks

Lorelai walked over to where Rory was seated. They spoke about her plans for the time she still had off. Rory said she was going to catch up with Lane a bit because they hadn't gotten to speak much since thanksgiving.

After they were finished eating and Rory had made her way over to Lanes, Lorelai moved to sit at the counter.

Lorelai: hey Luke?

Luke: yeah

Lorelai: can I have 1 cup of….

Luke: no!

Lorelai: you didn't even hear me out

Luke: that's cause I know what you are going to say and my answer is no, so I saved us both some time

Lorelai: but…doughnut please

Luke: that you can have, for now anyways

Lorelai: what?

Luke: when everyone finds out about our baby then I want you eating some healthier food. I don't want my son having blocked arteries before he is even born

Lorelai packs out laughing at Luke.

Luke: what?

Lorelai: we're having a boy are we?

Luke: what?

Lorelai: in your little rant back there, which I will be getting back to in a moment, you said you don't want your son to have blocked arteries when he is born

Luke: oh. Well I don't want my daughter to have that either

Lorelai: you're so cute

Luke: I am not, take that back right now

Lorelai: sorry, but you are. Now back to the healthy eating. Since when?

Luke: we're not going to argue about this, I want you to have a least one healthy meal a day

Lorelai: and where am I going to get this healthy meal? Do I have to remind you how I suck at cooking?

Luke: I will make it for you if I have to

Lorelai: home cooked meal every day, I could do that.

Luke: good. Decaf?

Lorelai: yeah load me up. Uh Luke?

Luke: yeah

Lorelai: would you be happy if we had a girl, I know you would probably prefer a son.

Luke: of course I would love a daughter or a son. I'm just happy to be having a child, either would do

Lorelai: good, and do you want to find out at the doctors or wait for he or she to be born

Luke: what did you do with Rory?

Lorelai: waited, but I knew she was going to be girl. I had this feeling

Luke: any feelings yet for ours

Lorelai: no, I think it's to early

Luke: oh…

Lorelai: Luke, thank you so much for this. You don't know how happy you have made me

Luke: ditto

Luke walked around serving customers while Lorelai sat at the counter. Both of their minds were preoccupied with thoughts of what their future could possibly have in store for them

The week leading up to new years went quickly. The routine stayed the same really. Lorelai would come into the diner with Rory; have breakfast and coffee, then go their separate ways. On December 31st, Lorelai and Rory sat at the counter talking to Luke.

Lorelai: so what are you doing tonight?

Luke: nothing

Lorelai: why, its new years you should be out celebrating

Luke: I never go out; tomorrow will be like any other day

Lorelai: no it wont, ever day is unique, we can never have them back

Luke: I know. Just leave it

Lorelai: come with us tonight

Rory: yeah Luke, Miss Patty throws the most awesome new years party as long as you stay away from her punch. Drink that and sleep right through new years hey mom

Lorelai: that happened once, I've learnt my lesson. But seriously, Luke you should come

Luke: I don't do town events

Lorelai: don't think of it as one, just think of it as a night out with your favourite Gilmore girls

Rory: yeah please come Luke

Lorelai: please Luke

Both Rory and Lorelai gave Luke their famous irresistible pouts.

Luke: fine, but I won't guarantee I will stay all night. If they irritate me, I'm gone. Deal?

Lorelai: deal

Luke: I don't want to hear anymore about this. I have customers to get to.

Lorelai and Rory finished up their coffees and headed home.

Lorelai: see you back here later Luke

Luke: yeah, see you later.

Sorry to end the story on you here but I need to get things done around my house. This story isn't headed where it was supposed to be going, but I think it's going ok so I will leave it like this. Please review and let me know if this chapter disappoints or excites you. Next chapter will deal with new years and the doctor's appointment. Not sure if I will get around to telling anyone in it. So, please review as i've said before it makes me deliriously happy.
