A/N: Here we go. Section 3. Have you gotten tired of me yet?
Lorelai and Luke kept both of their secrets hidden. Only one person knew. Mia. She knew all of their secrets, even the engagement.
It was now summer. Lorelai was beginning to show big time. Only a matter of days and someone would notice.
"Mia, I don't know what I'm going to do with school, and being pregnant." Lorelai said walking into her office in the afternoon.
"You should have the baby by time school starts up."
"Are you sure?" Lorelai asks rubbing her now well rounded belly.
"Pretty sure." Mia says.
"What about having a newborn?" Lorelai sits down.
"You'll have to take the first couple of months off of school, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"You take summer school."
"What?" Lorelai asks clearly shocked. "I'll be super huge. Everyone will know."
"Then I'll get the work and you can do it here, at the inn."
"Really, you would do that for me?"
"Of course." Mia stands up. "You go to the shed and rest. I'll bring Rory by in a little while."
"Okay." Lorelai stands up. "Thanks so much Mia. You've been a great help with everything."
"Well your like my own daughter."
Lorelai smiles and walks out of Mia's office.
If only her real mother knew. She deserves to. Maybe I should...no Lorelai would be upset. There's too much going on now.
At 5:45 Luke came walking into the house with a sack.
"Hey honey." He greeted as he kissed her quickly. "I've got something for you."
"Oh! Oh! Is it..is it something pink?" Lorelai asked all excited.
"Maybe." Luke opens the sack and pulls out a beautiful maternity pink blouse. It was v-neck cut with rhinestones that outline the neck, and the end of the sleeves. "It's for 7 months, so you can't wear it now, but I got it for you ahead of time."
"I love it." Lorelai said as she held up the shirt to her. "It's absolutely me."
"Just what I thought." Luke smiled. He loved to see his soon to be wife so excited about a shirt. He couldn't be happier if he tried. Well actually, he could.
"So Luke what do you think about having a spring wedding?"
Luke was staying the night at Lorelai's. It was Saturday night and they were lounged out on the new couch, that Luke bought her, talking.
"Sounds good." Luke replied running his hand through her hair.
"We could have a lot of flowers. Daises and roses and carnations and...oh baby's breath mixed in." Lorelai sighed. "Doesn't it sound perfect?"
"Uh huh." Luke mumbled. He couldn't stop staring at Lorelai. Even being pregnant made her look beautiful. Also her being pregnant with his child was a big plus.
"You even listening to me?"
"Yea...baby's breath."
"Are you excited?"
"About?"
"Having a baby."
"Yea."
"What do you want it to be?"
"What do you mean?"
"Boy or girl?"
"Oh." Luke pulled Lorelai a little closer. "Either would be great. I mean Rory is kinda like my daughter, so a boy would be great, but then again a girl would be great too."
"I want one of each."
"You mean you want a boy."
"No, I mean I want us to have one of each, if not more."
"Whoa."
"Yea, but it will all be worth it."
"So that means we're going to actually try after this little one..." Luke places his hand on her stomach and rubs. "is born?"
"I guess it does." Lorelai places her hand on top of his. "We're going to be parents."
"Parents."
"I'm going to make an appointment to find out what the baby is." Lorelai starts to get up. "Do you want to come?"
"I sure would."
Lorelai smiles and heads for the phone.
It was time for the doctor's appointment. Lorelai had called in on Saturday and they made the appointment for Monday.
"So you want to know the sex of the baby?" The doctor asked after pulling off her gloves.
"Yes please." Lorelai answered.
"Okay, lay down for me." Lorelai did as she was told. "It's going to be cold." Lorelai winced when she felt the cold jelly touch her skin. "Well lets see what this little sucker is." The doctor moves the wand around on her stomach until she finds the baby. "It looks to be as if you are pregnant with a..."
A/N: You all probably want to hunt me down and kill me right now. I had to leave it off as a cliffhanger and this seemed best. Please review and tell me what YOU want it to be. I might just go with your wishes. Hope you liked it!
