Disclaimer: (I realized that I don't have one of these on any of my chapters, so here it is.) I don't own any of theses characters, except for the bun-in-th-oven William. I own 1-4 on DVD an autographed photo of Lauren Graham, and my cell phone. and the computer my stories are typed on.

Authors Note: Yes, I know this chapter is short, but bear with me, I'm having some writers block issues. I don't know when I'll update, I need some ideas for a Lorelai/Luke/April movie night.


The Unvailing of the Leg

Two weeks with Sookie, and I'm more spoiled than before. She made Luke and me breakfast in bed the first week: "Well, I thought you guys would like to eat together, and spend some time with eachother before the baby comes." She says for an excuse, and its a pretty good excuse, at least to me.

Today is the appointment for Luke to get his cast off, and he can't wait until we go to his doctor.

"Hey, Luke?"

"Yeah?" he responds, monosyillobic today, are we.

"When we get back from your doctors appointment, do you want to scheduel one for this little guy here?" I ask rubbing my swollen stomach. For being seven months pregnant, I look like I swollowed twenty beach balls. I'm huge!

"Sure." he says.

"Why so monosyillobic today, babe? You're usually more talkative with me. Are you ok?" I ask, sitting next to him on the bed, placing my hand on his thigh.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that, I feel guilty not having April come here." he replies.

"Honey, you're the one that didn't want her to see you like this. I told you that I could have Sookie take me to go get her, but you insisted that you wanted to wait until you were out of your cast." I explain to him.

"Yeah, I know. I just didn't know that I would feel this...bad." he says, hanging his ball capless head.

"Ok, I have an idea. We'll have Sookie drive us to your doctors appointment, and have Jackson follow us in the jeep, then after your appointment, we can go pick up April and if Anna says its ok, we'll have a family night. What do you think?" I ask.

He looks at me and smiles. "I'd like that."

"Good." We simotaniously lean in for a kiss, I pull back and say, "Lets get ready for the big unvailing."

He rolls his eyes, "Ah jeez."


"Thanks for doing this Sookie. You have no idea how much this means for Luke; letting April hang out with us tonight. I know he'll never admit it, but he appriciates this also. You've been really great. Letting us live with you and Jackson until Tom is done with the baby's room." I thank my friend who is in the very small bathroom with me doing her make-up, as I do my hair.

"Oh, Lorelai, it's no problem, really. With how long we've known eachother we're family, and families help each other out." Sookie replies.

"Thanks. We better get going. Luke's appointment is in an hour." I say. "Luke, are you ready to go?"

"You have no idea." Comes his reply.

"Doesn't he sound thrilled?" Sookie asks sarcastically.

"Acutally, I think he does." I answer, honestly.


After a lot of traffic, and some annoying songs, we finally get to the doctors office.

"So, you ready to get out of that cast Mr. Danes?" Dr. Perkins asks.

"Yes I am." he say. I think he's getting sick of that question.

"Ok, lets get started." Perkins says.

"Oh, Dr. we'd like to keep the leg." I joke, the doctor just smiles and continues what he's doing.
