Ugh, sorry it's taken me so long to put up more chapters! I've been busy. College is hard, my friends. Anyway, here's a chapter! And it's extra long!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

That night, Lorelai wakes up from a long nap to a dull pain in her stomach. She grunts and slowly gets out of bed, throwing on yoga pants and a sweatshirt, tying her hair in a quick ponytail. She walks downstairs slowly.

"Lea?" Lorelai calls, walking to the table by the foyer where she finds a note.

The note reads, "Hey. Soph and I went to the bookstore and Doose's. Left at 4. Back by 6."

Lorelai looks at a clock which reads 5:15PM. She looks around the living room to see a bunch of Sophia's toys and she begins to cry. She abruptly grabs a purse and keys and leaves her house.

A little bit later, Lorelai arrives at the diner, spotting Caesar at the counter.

"Hey Caesar. Where's Luke?"

"Just went out to yell at Taylor", Caesar says as he points to the window between the diner and the soda shop where Luke is yelling at Taylor.

Lorelai frowns and sighs and walks out of the diner towards the soda shop. Luke walks out in a tiff, almost running over Lorelai.

"Hey there, buddy. Watch out."

"Lorelai!"

"That's my name, don't wear it out."

"Are you okay? You left the diner earlier without any coffee."

Lorelai nods, "We need to talk."

"Uh-oh."

"Just walk with me."

"Okay."

And the couple starts walking around the town, not talking for a few moments.

"What's going on?" Luke finally asks.

"Something happened."

"What!" Luke asks worriedly.

"I had a miscarriage before."

Luke stops walking, "You were pregnant?"

"Yeah, I guess I was."

"You didn't know?"

"No…"

"Oh, Lorelai. I'm so sorry."

"Me too."

"You're going to be okay."

"I am."

"Are you in pain?"

"Very little."

"Should you go to a doctor?"

"I don't know. The last time this happened, I was a lot younger."

"This has happened before?"

"Uh, yeah. I was twenty."

"Oh boy."

"Yeah…"

After a couple of beats of silence, Lea walks up to the couple, with Sophia on her hip."

"Hey…", Lea says, unsure of what was going on.

"Hey you", Lorelai greets, wiping tears from her cheeks and grabbing a sleeping Sophia from Lea's arms.

"Am I interrupting something?"

"No, no. It's okay. You want dinner?" Lorelai asks, clearly faking enthusiasm.

"I could eat", Lea shrugs.

"Alright, good. Luke, you've got three more customers; come on!" and they all walk back to the diner. Lea and Lorelai walk to a table. Luke walks to the kitchen to talk to Caesar.

"How are you feeling?" Lea asks.

Lorelai doesn't look up from playing with Sophia, "Fine."

"Are you lying to me?"

"So what if I am?" Lorelai says, kind of rudely.

"I guess you can lie to me as much as you want. I'm just the stranger who's living in your house", Lea shrugs.

"Aw, Lea. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that", she apologizes.

"It's okay. You've had the day from hell. You're allowed to be a little bitchy."

Lorelai chuckles.

"Have you talked to Rory?"

"No."

"I called her. I just told her that something happened. She said she'd come home later tonight."

"Oh, Lea…"

"I have a tendency to butt in where I don't belong, I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay. It's okay."

"Do you want me to drop this subject?" Lea offers.

"Please."

Luke comes over with two plates of food for Lea and Lorelai and a small cup of Cheerios for Sophia.

"We didn't even order", Lorelai points out as Luke puts a hamburger in front of her.

"You've been eating here for years and I'm engaged to you. I know what you eat."

"Ah, you win", Lorelai gestures for Luke to come closer to her and they quickly kiss.

Luke smiles, sets the food down and then walks away.

"I'm assuming you told him?" Lea observes as she globs an obscene amount of ketchup on her burger.

"Uh, yeah. Just before when you came over."

"Oh geez, I interrupted you telling him?"

"No, no. I had already told him."

"Okay."

"I don't feel like eating at all", Lorelai realizes as she begins feeding Sophia Cheerios.

"That's totally understandable."

"I can't believe this happened again."

"Wait…again?"

"This is my 2nd miscarriage. I had one when Rory was three."

"Oh, g-d, Lorelai…"

"Don't throw me a pity party. I'll be alright."

"Oh, I know that. I may have only known you for a few weeks but I can already tell that you're the strongest person I've ever known."

"People tell me that and I never believe them."

"I know."

Suddenly, Rory comes bounding into the diner.

"Mom!"

"Oh man, Rory. You surprised me!"

"Didn't Lea tell you I was coming?" Rory grabs a chair and sits at the table.

"Yes, she did. I meant you were loud just then. When you came in."

"Oh, sorry."

"How's school?" Lorelai asks before Rory has a chance to ask about what happened that day.

"School's fine. Are you okay? What happened?" Rory asks, semi-frantically.

"Hey, Lea. Would you mind giving us a minute?" Lorelai asks.

"Of course", Lea stands up and takes Sophia from Lorelai's arms. She walks to the counter to talk to Luke.

"Mom?" Rory looks at her mother seriously.

"I assume Lea told you that something happened?"

"Yeah, but she didn't tell me what. I skipped a class and broke some speeding laws to get here."

"Honey, that wasn't necessary."

"Let me be the judge of that. What happened?"

"I, uh…well, let me tell you a story. When you were a kid, something happened to me and you freaked out. I told you that Mommy was very sick because I couldn't tell you the truth because you were too young."

"I kind of remember that", Rory remarks.

Lorelai nods, "It was minor but I cried a lot. And you comforted me so well. I started feeling better but I never forgot that day", Lorelai pauses, "The day I had a miscarriage. So, I imagine I'll never forget today either", Lorelai starts crying again.

"Oh my gosh, Mom", Rory leans over to hug her mother who practically collapses in her arms.

There you go. I'm definitely in a rut as far as writer's block goes. I have no idea where to go with this story. But review! Please!
