Disclaimer: Well it's Easter. Happy Easter! Today Jesus rose many moons ago. Hosanna!

A/N: Well these past few chapters were written around the same time and were all posted at the same time, so sorry for the inconvenience.

Luke's eyes grew big and he stumbled backwards.

"Wh...what?" Luke mumbled.

"I am so so sorry Luke, I know it's way too soon, I mean we just had the twins and then everything, I am sorry." Lorelai cried out. "I'm sorry."

Luke just looked down at his hands and shook his head.

"Are..are you sure?" Luke asked.

"I took a pregnancy test."

"And it came out positive?"

"Yes."

"I have to get some air." Luke said as he went out of the room, down the stairs, and out the door.

"Luke!" Lorelai cried as she fell on the ground crying.

2 ½ hours later

"Oh God!" Lorelai cried. "Why me, why us?"

"Lorelai don't cry." Liz comforted. "It will all be alright."

"No it wont." Lorelai cried. "He'll hate me forever, and he'll hate this kid." Lorelai motioned to her stomach.

"You guys are engaged, he wont hate you, he loves you."

"He's never said it to me."

"Have you ever said it to him?"

"No, but..."

"No buts Lorelai, tell him, tell him you love him."

"Dad." Luke called walking into his childhood home. "I'm staying the night."

"What?" William asked coming down the stairs with a newspaper in his hands. "Why?"

"I just need to stay the night."

"Did you and Lorelai have a fight?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes dad I'm sure. I'm going to bed." Luke stomped upstairs and slammed the bedroom door.

"Why hasn't he come home?"

"I don't know Lorelai, but you need to go to sleep."

"I cant, not until Luke's home."

"I'll stay the night and wait up for him, you sleep."

"Okay." Lorelai said laying down and pulling her blanket around her. "I'll try."

Liz shut off the light and went down stairs. 5 minutes later Lorelai gave into sleep.

"Go home." William said walking into the kitchen. "It's 6:00 in the morning, go home."

"I cant."

"You know Lorelai's probably worried to death about you. She loves youso much."

"She never says it."

"Do you say it to her?"

"No."

"Then tell her and she'll tell you back."

"She's asleep."

"Thanks Lizzy."

Luke walks up the stairs and into the master bedroom. He shuts the door behind him, walks over to the bed and sits next to her. He runs his hand through her hair. Lorelai stirs and opens her eyes slightly.

"Hey baby." Luke whispers.

"You home?" Lorelai asks.

"Yea."

"For good?"

"For good."

"I love you."

Luke is stunned, but soon recovers.

"I love you too." Luke leans in and kisses Lorelai's forehead. "You have no idea how much."

"Luke." Lorelai whispers.

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry."

"It's alright." Luke squeezes her arm. "It takes two people."

"I know, but I feel as if I could have prevented it."

"You couldn't have. Except..."

"But neither of us could have went without that."

Luke laughs and kisses Lorelai.

"Set up an appointment with the doctor."

"Okay."

Lorelai turned the radio on and flipped thee channels until a song she recognized came on.

"So other than the fact that me being pregnant again was fast, are you excited?"

"A little. I mean, I've already had children, so I kinda know what to expect, but...I'm excited."

"I am too. I don't know why, I just am."

"Good afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Danes."

"Hi." Lorelai said to the doctor.

"I see that you are pregnant."

"Yes."

"Have you ever been pregnant before?"

"Twice."

"And you've been the father both times?" The doctor asked Luke.

"No. Just now and one time before." Luke answered.

"What's the name of the father of the other child?"

"Christopher Hayden."

"And how old were you when you first got pregnant?"

"I was 15 when I got pregnant, and I had Rory, my first kid, at 16."

"And Mr. Hayden was the father?"

"Yes."

"And how old was Mr. Hayden?"

"Same age."

"16?"

"Yes."

"After having your first child did you quit highschool?"

"Sort of."

"Sort of, meaning?"

"Meaning, I took time off. I didn't go back to school until I moved to Stars Hollow and met Luke."

"When did you meet Luke?"

"The same day I had Rory."

"So...you met your future husband on the day of your first child's birth."

"Right."

"When did you have your second child?"

"Well I had my twins not long ago."

"And you're the father, Mr. Danes?"

"Yes."

"What is their names?"

"Our son is named William Richard Danes, and our daughter is Amelia Emily Danes."

"I see." The doctor flips through his notes. "And your pregnant again, very soon after your twins birth?"

"Yes. Is that bad?"

"Well it could be." The doctor takes off her glasses and looks up at the two. "When you have a child, or twins, and not even a month or two later your pregnant again, could cause lots of damage."

"Meaning?"

"The lining of the uterus is tender about 5 months after having a child. When you get pregnant again the egg has to develop inside the lining of the uterus, if the lining is thin and tender it cannot hold the egg therefore causing a miscarriage."

"So.."

"You are more than likely goinglose the baby your carrying."
