A/N For those of you who were confused, Luke thought that Lorelai didn't like him because she ran off. Sorry it took so long btw. I tried to get it yesterday but it wouldn't let me put the story on the thing. Anyway, on with the story.
Late For Chem Lab
(Lorelai's POV) I sat there crying. I had finally gotten to kiss Luke. But only for a second. I had pushed him away. I heard him say "I'm sorry". It wasn't even his fault. I stood up and walked over to the door.
"I have to go" I said. I meant to say something to him but nothing else would come out. I got in my car and drove around the corner and stopped. I liked Luke. I liked him a lot. Why was I running away? I didn't want to hurt him. I was pregnant with Chris's baby. Not Luke's, which was weird because it felt so right kissing Luke.
I should have driven home and gone to bed. Of course I didn't. I got out of my car and ran back to the hardware store. I walked in the door. Luke was about to go upstairs but stopped and turned around when he heard the door. I couldn't think of anything to say so I took a few steps towards him and kissed him. This time I don't know how long we kissed this time. I just know it was to short. He took a step back.
"Have you told Chris?" he asked.
"No" I said. He nodded and looked around.
"It's 11:25. You should sleep." he said. I did feel tired. "You can stay here tonight" he said. He put his arm around my shoulders. I smiled and we walked to the stairs.
I woke up. I could smell pancakes. I sat up. Luke was cooking. He looked over at me.
"Hey" he said. "I made apple pancakes" he said. I looked around.
"Where's your dad and Liz?" I asked as I got up and walked over to the table.
"They're downstairs at the store." Luke told me. He handed me a plate of pancakes.
"Thanks" I said. They were so good. After I ate, I put my plate in the sink. Luke and I looked at each other for a while.
"I have to go. I need to see Chris" I said. Luke nodded and looked down.
"Ok" he said. I wasn't sure what to do. I wasn't sure if I should kiss him or not.
"Well, bye" I said. I was halfway to the door when Luke said "Wait" I turned around. He was walking towards me. My knees locked. He put his hands on my hips and kissed me. I felt so happy.
"About time." I heard Liz say. Luke and I turned and looked at her.
"What?" I said half laughing.
"Well you two seem like the perfect couple and I know Luke has liked you since forever-" Luke gave Liz a warning look "-so I was just saying." Liz said. I smiled.
"I have to go" I said. I smiled at Luke and, sadly, I left.
I was there. At Chris'. I took a deep breath and knocked. Chris answered.
"Can we talk?" I asked. He looked shocked but pleased.
"Come in" he said. I did. We went into the living room and sat down.
"Chris I have to tell you something. I-" I started
"Want to get back together?" he interrupted.
"No," Jerk. I meant to take my time. Ease myself into it. But then he had to go and say something stupid so I just blurted out, "I'm pregnant." He looked shocked. His face turned white and he didn't say anything. In any other situation, I would have laughed.
"Are you ok?" I asked. He didn't say anything at first.
Then he said "I need to process this. Could you leave?" I was a little shocked but understood.
"Yeah" I said and got up to leave. Halfway there, I turned around and said, "You don't have to be involved. It's ok if you don't. I'll understand". He didn't say anything. I turned and left.
(One month later)Things were going great with Luke. My feelings for him grew all the time. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be with the baby. I got extra time to do homework and my mother wasn't being as pushy as usual. I wasn't sure whether it was because she was still upset that I had gotten pregnant or that she was just being nice. Anyway, I was talking to Luke on the phone.
"Has Chris called you yet?" he asked.
"No," I told him. "I don't expect him to call me anytime soon. He's probably still 'processing'."
"He could at least call and make sure your doing ok" Luke commented. He did have a point but I had told Chris he didn't have to be involved. I hadn't told anyone that. My parents would say that he was the father and needed to be involved somehow and Luke would say that Chris needs to do the right thing and be involved anyway. I looked at my watch. 1:15.
"I have to go" I said.
"Oh. Ok. What's up?" Luke asked.
"I have a doctor's appointment at 2." I said.
"Are your parents going?" Luke asked.
"Yeah right" I snorted. "My father is working and my mother is at a stupid DAR meeting." I started pulling on my shoes.
"Do you want any company?" Luke asked.
"Sure." I replied. My heart lifted. This was going to be my first appointment alone and I wasn't looking forward to it. "Do you want to meet me there?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"You know where it is right?"
"Yes." Luke said.
"Meet you there" I said and hung up. My heart leaped. I usually didn't get to see Luke on weekends. My parents wouldn't let me leave the house on the weekends since I got pregnant and the maid would tell them I had left. Now I had an excuse for leaving.
I walked into the doctor's office and went to the sign in desk.
"May I help you?" the lady behind the counter asked.
"I'm here for a check up."
"Name?" the lady asked.
"Lorelai Gilmore". The lady checked the sheet.
"Ok. Sign here." She showed me where the sign in thingy was and I signed in.
I thought it was going to take a while but about five minutes after I sat down they called me in. I was a little shocked. Luke wasn't there yet. I looked around first and then stood up. I was about to walk into the check up room thing when Luke walked in.
"I'm here" he said. I was so relieved.
"Are you coming in too?" the doctor asked.
"Yes he is" I answered for him.
"This way" the doctor said and we followed him into a small white room with chair and a patient's bed. I sat on the patient's bed and he told me he'd be right back. After he left I looked at Luke.
"You made it" I said.
"Of course I made it" he replied. He got up and walked over to me. We kissed. Not for very long. The doctor walked back in. He didn't see anything. He was staring at his clipboard.
"So you're about a month pregnant I see" he said.
I nodded, "Yes". We went through the whole procedure. The baby was completely healthy. Unfortunately though I had to stop drinking so much caffeine.
"Define to much" I said. The doctor laughed.
"Just try to stick to one cup of coffee a day". My jaw dropped.
"One cup?" The doctor nodded. I looked at Luke. He was trying not to laugh.
The following Monday I had to get up and go to school. I knew people could tell. Either that or they just thought that I was getting fat. My stomach was getting a little bigger. I had just gotten out of my third hour class when my friend Becky walked up to me.
"I'm so happy for you" she said. I was a little confused.
"What? How did you know...?" I started but she interrupted.
"You're not single anymore!" she said. I was completely confused now.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"Chris told me" she said.
"How did Chris know?" I asked. Becky looked at me like I was loosing it.
"He was kinda there when you guys got back together" I was appalled. Is that the right word? I don't know. Anyway, I couldn't believe it.
"I'm not back with Chris" I said. Becky looked at me funny.
"Well...who are you with?" she asked.
"I'm with a guy named Luke" I said. Becky made a disgusting face.
"Luke Parsley?" she said.
"What? No! You don't know him" I told her. She looked a little hurt.
"Why don't I know him?" she asked. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm gonna be late for class," I told her and walked off. Of course I didn't let it go. I cornered Chris at lunch and pulled him away from his friends into the locker hall where there weren't very many people at that time of the day.
"Have you been telling people we're back together!" I yelled. He looked a little surprised.
"Yeah" he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I was about to say something but stopped. I had expected him to deny it. "Since you're pregnant I figured we were back together" he said. I couldn't believe how stupid people were being that day.
"I am not getting back with you. I came and told you because you are the father and you have a right to know. I didn't come and tell you because I wanted to be your girlfriend again." I said. He just stared at me. Then he did something completely unexpected.
"Lor will you marry me?" he asked.
"Are you insane!" I screamed. Some people looked over at us. His eyes widened. "We're 16 Chris" I told him a little more calmly. He didn't say anything so I walked off.
That day I was so ticked off on the way to school. I slammed the door behind me as I went into the house. My parents were sitting in the living room.
"Is everything ok?" I asked.
"You are to marry Chris" my mother told me.
"What?" Was all I could think of to say at the moment.
