"We are going to have to work on this, but we will get through this okay? And we have to tell each other everything, and I mean everything, no more secrets okay?" Lorelai said.
"Yes, I promise, I will tell you everything." He said, nodding in agreement, happy that she wasn't leaving.
"Ok" she said giving him a quick kiss.
They weren't happy. They wanted to be happy, but they weren't.
"Were you ever going to tell me?"
"Of course I was Lorelai"
"When Luke, if I hadn't come into the diner that day, when would you have told me?"
He didn't answer.
"Yeah" she said shaking her head. "That's what I thought." She stood up. "I'm going out, don't wait up for me" and with that she grabbed her coat and walked out.
Uh, is Emily here?" she asked
"No, I'm sorry Mrs. Gilmore is at a function at the moment, but I believe Mr. Gilmore is in his study. Would you like me to go get him for you?"
"No, that's ok. Uh, I'll just go talk to him." Lorelai said
"Luke. He has a daughter, and he didn't tell me for two months." She said now completely a wreck.
"Oh, Lorelai," he said, not quite sure what to do. He walked around to where she had collapsed in the doorway and put his arms around her and started stroking her back. (A/n I know a little out of character, but I always thought that if they tired Lorelai and Richard could be close)
No problem. Oh, Lorelai?"
"Ya Dad?"
"Do you love him?"
She stopped in her tracks. She had put some thought into this. She looked down
"Yeah dad, I do"
"That's what I thought, goodnight Lorelai"
"Goodnight daddy"
She walked in the house and every light was out except for the one leading upstairs. He was probably asleep; I mean she told him not to wait up for her. She put her coat on the hanger and walked slowly up the stairs.
He heard her coming, and let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. She
Turned the corner and head for the bedroom.
She turned, walked in and stopped.
"I Love you"
He was shocked. "What?" he asked making sure he heard her correctly.
"I love you" she said with confidence.
He got off the bed and walked over to the door way where she was standing. He put his arms around her and whispered in her ear.
"You don't know how long I have been waiting to hear you say that. I love you too"
And she broke down. Her legs went numb and thank god he was there to catch her. The tears were just pouring out of her. She couldn't understand why for the past week she had been so emotional. Maybe it was just because she was trying to fix things with Luke, yeah that was it right?
Their night was quiet and for the first time in what seemed like forever they were happy. They had had a long conversation about April, and she could just see the glow in his eyes when he talked about her.
"She's so pretty, like you, oh and smart like Rory" he would say
And the whole time she would just sit there and nodded her head.
In the middle of his talking she spoke up.
"Luke? I want to meet her." She said
That made his day, his week, and his month.
"Really, you do?" he said like a kid in the candy shop
"Yeah, I do" she said with a smile
"Good, because I want you guys to be okay with each other." He said
She nodded.
"I'm beat, let's go to bed."
"Okay" he said.
They stood up and she took his hand and they walked upstairs.
20 minutes later…
They were all snuggled in bed and Lorelai was just about asleep.
"Lorelai?" he said
"Hmmm"
"I really am sorry" he said sounding kind of hurt
"I know me too. I shouldn't have left like that."
"It's ok. I love you" he said looking over.
She smiled. She loved the sound of that.
"I Love you too."
The next morning…
Luke got up early to go to work, while Lorelai slept.
When she woke up she was feeling very sick. She figured it was just a bug and took a shower trying to bypass it. After her shower she headed to Luke's.
As the bell rung above the door he looked up and a smile played on his lips immediately.
"Hey" she said leaning over the counter for a kiss.
"Hey,
what do you want?"
"Mmm, coffee, pancakes with apples and some
grapefruit" she said thinking of her father.
"Apples and grapefruit? Are you feeling ok?"
"Well, this morning I was feeling really cruddy, but now I guess I"m ok. Or maybe not since I'm eating fruit." She said, and all of a sudden got a panicked look on her face and she was white as a ghost.
"Lorelai, what wrong" Luke asked in concern.
"Umm, nothing, I've got to go, I'll call you later."
And with that she walked out and walked as fast as she could back to her house.
When she was inside she grabbed the phone and hit number one on the speed dial.
"Hello"
"Hi
Hun."
"Oh, hey Mom, What's up?"
"Ithinkimpregnant"
she said in one breath.
"WHAT?"
"Well,
today I went to Luke's we're all good there by the way"
"OK,
good, and?"
"I ordered coffee and pancakes with apples and grapefruit! APPLES AND GRAPFRUIT? Am I sick in the head?" she yelled into the phone
"MOM, calm down."
"RORY! How can you be so calm, I could be pregnant and you're being all nonchalant?
"Yes you did and I will get you a test here and you can take it at home okay?"
"Okay, Rory, thank you."
"Sure, relax. And even if you are, it would it be so bad. I mean it's Luke"
"Yeah, I know, but I was hoping to get married and still be thin."
"Well, maybe your not even-"
"Yeah, maybe" she said stretching it out."
"Okay
mom, I'll be home soon."
"Thanks Hon"
I'm evil! Ha-ha. Let me know if you think she should be pregnant or not.
