Hey everyone, before you get to excited I just want to let you know that this is only a filler chapter. Its just a small Luke and Lorelai interaction while I work on the chapter where they tell Rory and the grandparents.


To the townsfolk of Stars hollow nothing had changed between Luke and Lorelai, but behind closed doors and in the confines of the house walls, conversation rarely ceased about their baby to be. Lorelai was exited and it rubbed off on Luke. Even though it was still very early in the pregnancy, discussion of names and how it would be raised had already begun. Though it seemed that they were forever talking about their baby, never once did they talk about their situation and what that would mean for the baby. Would the baby live with Lorelai and Lorelai alone or would he/she stay with Luke on occasions. Who would pay and make decisions about the events in the baby's life. Effectively all the important and somewhat touchy subjects were pushed to the back of their minds.

Friday was coming quick and Lorelai was getting very nervous about talking to Rory and her parents about the baby. Late Thursday evening Lorelai went to Luke's for comfort and food.

Lorelai: hey

Luke: hey, how are you feeling?

Lorelai: ok thanks, no nausea today. Do you think you could give me a cup of…..

Luke: no

Lorelai: no… come on Luke

Luke: we are not getting into this again, I want a normal baby full stop

Lorelai: you mentioned the b word in public, are you mad

Luke: nobody's around

Lorelai: Kirk is sitting by the window

Luke: as I said nobody is around

Lorelai: shame, that's mean, but funny

Luke: even if he heard us nobody would believe him over us

Lorelai: true, he does come up with strange stories.

Luke: what can I get you that is not coffee?

Lorelai: burger and chilli fries please

Luke: I noticed the please, it wont help you

Lorelai: but…

Luke: no.

Luke couldn't help but smile. He knew she was being good. Since she found out she was pregnant she had practically stopped drinking coffee, even though he found her with coffee ice cream on occasion. She loved this baby so much that she didn't want to risk anything. Luke went into the kitchen and made the burger and fries. Caesar had been given the night off cause things were slow. He came back out 5 minutes later and gave her her food.

Lorelai: thanks

Luke: you nervous for tomorrow?

Lorelai: yeah. Do you think you could make me something to eat before we go tomorrow?

Luke: why? we are having dinner there

Lorelai: do you seriously think we will make it through to dinner?

Luke: I ….. guess not

Lorelai: as soon as they see you at the door with me they are going to know something's up

Luke: you didn't tell them I was coming?

Lorelai: no otherwise my mother would ask why you are coming and I really don't want to start this off with a lie.

Luke: ok, so how should I prepare?

Lorelai: prepare? Prepare? You cannot prepare for Emily Gilmore. She is unpredictable

Luke: oh...

Lorelai: Luke?

Luke: yeah

Lorelai: I don't think I could do this

Luke: of course you can, and as you said before, it will help that I am there with you.

Lorelai: I don't want to go anymore

Luke: Lorelai!

Lorelai: I know I have to tell them, but why does it have to be at that house?

Luke: then why don't you phone your mom, invite her to have Friday night dinner at your house. Ill cook

Lorelai: that's brilliant, that gives you reason to be there and we won't have to start the fight from the get go.

Luke: see, then you will be in your home where you feel safe.

Lorelai: yeah, thanks. I will phone her now before I get the 'changing plans at the last minute' speech

Luke: use the phone upstairs

Lorelai: why?

Luke: no cellphones in the diner

Lorelai: oh come on, nobody is here

Luke: Kirk is here

Lorelai: but…

Lorelai was cut off by Luke pushing her behind the curtain and up the stairs. When inside the apartment, Luke left and Lorelai got comfortable on the sofa and picked up the phone. It took only 2 rings before someone answered

Emily: hello

Lorelai: hi mom

Emily: yes?

Lorelai: sorry if i'm disturbing you

Emily: it is pretty late, I was hoping to go have a bath before bed so can you make this quick

Lorelai: ok, well I was hoping that maybe… maybe we could have Friday night dinner here in stars hollow. Here at my house

Emily: there?

Lorelai: yes

Emily: why?

Lorelai: it's kinda a surprise

Emily: i'm not eating junk food for dinner. I much rather you come here

Lorelai: Luke will be cooking for us. He can make almost anything if you want to make a suggestion.

Emily: let me see what your father says. Hold on please

Lorelai: ok.

After a few moments of silence, Lorelai heard her mother pick up the phone again

Emily: apparently your father is ok with all of this. Says that he wants to see where you live again

Lorelai: ok. Good, see you tomorrow night mom

Emily: yes you will

Lorelai: bye

Lorelai hung up the phone quickly and ran downstairs

Lorelai: she agreed. Didn't sound happy but she agreed

Luke: good

Lorelai: what is this?

Lorelai looked over at the counter where she was previously sitting with a confused look on her face

Luke: what does it look like?

Lorelai: like a baby's coffee

Luke: well first off a baby shouldn't get coffee and second you can take it or leave it

Lorelai: ill take it thanks

Lorelai crabbed the cup and quickly swallowed the mouthful that was in there

Lorelai: ooh proper coffee thanks

Luke: well I thought since you are addicted to it and you have been trying so hard not to have any coffee, you at least deserved one sip

Lorelai: well I have been trying, so thanks.

Luke: ok let me walk you home

Lorelai: sure lets go

They walked in silence until they reached the porch.

Lorelai: thanks

Luke: my pleasure

Lorelai: do you want to come in for a drink?

Luke: I have to get going, I've got early deliveries tomorrow

Lorelai: oh ok

Luke: so tomorrow they find out

Lorelai: tomorrow

Luke gave Lorelai a small peck on the cheek and made his way back to the diner.

Lorelai: tomorrow

Lorelai turned and headed indoors. She couldn't wait to tell people about her baby, but she was also so scared at what they might say. She fell as sleep that night with a lot on her mind.


Sorry I know this wasn't my best chapter but I needed something to fill between the doctor's appointment and the dinner. I will hopefully update again tomorrow with the chapter you really want. I really am sorry if these chapters are terrible, but in my mind I know where I want the story to end but I cant seem to get there.

Please stick with me and review. It might just help me out, who knows, I'm desperate. Thanks again for reading.
