Lorelai woke up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She looked around and found she was in her room. She realized that she was still in her clothes. She didn't remember falling asleep last night.

When did I fall asleep? And why am I still in my clothes? Didn't I change into my pajamas last night? Lorelai thought to herself.

Then it hit her. Everything that happened the previous night was all coming back to her. She was pregnant with Luke's baby. It was panic all over again.

She had to tell someone. If things between her and Rory were different at the moment, she'd be the one Lorelai would seek out help for. But, they weren't speaking, which put a damper on it all. She could tell Sookie, but Sookie had a little trouble when it came to keeping something secret.

No, she needed to tell Luke. This was killing her. It had been less than twenty-four hours since she found out the results of the pregnancy test and it was already eating her up.

Yes, she was going to tell Luke today. How was she going to tell him? How would he take it? What would happen between them? Would they still be together? This was too much. She needed to relax. She needed coffee.

She walked downstairs into the kitchen, made herself some coffee and then went upstairs to take a bubble bath. She needed to calm down, and what better way to do that than to take a bubble bath? When she got out she put on her favorite stretchy jeans and a red shirt.

She went downstairs, grabbed her car keys and walked outside. She was going to see Luke. She needed to tell him, and she needed to tell him now. She couldn't keep this a secret another second. It was killing her. All she kept worrying about was what Luke would say, or what Luke would do. She had to find out how he would react, it was the only way to answer her questions.

She pulled up to the diner and sat in her car. She couldn't get out. She wanted to, but her body wouldn't move. It was like her muscles were fozen in their position. Finally, she opened the door and walked in. Her stomach was flipping over and over inside her. She walked up to Luke with all her courage and spoke.

"We need to talk," she told him, her voice shaking. Luke looked at her with deep concern.

"Ok. Um, what is it?" he asked.

"Can we go upstairs?" she asked

"Sure," Lorelai walked upstairs and Luke followed her, worried.

They walked in Luke's apartment and Lorelai shut the door. She looked extremely nervous.

"Luke, I, um, have something to, uh, tell you," she said, tears starting to form in her eyes.

Luke looked at her questioningly, waiting for her to continue. Whatever it was, it was starting to scare him now. This wasn't Lorelai. She wasn't one to cry, not much anyway. He wanted to know what was bothering her, but he was nervous to hear her response.

"What is it?" he asked nervously.

"I know I should have told you when I found out, but I was scared. I wasn't sure how you'd take it and I just wasn't ready. I'm sorry," she said, a few tears running slowly down her cheeks.

"Lorelai, just tell me," he said, coming over to her and placing a hand on her arm.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Luke, I-I'm pregnant."

Luke stared at her in utter shock. Did he hear her right? Had he mistaken her?

"Wh-what?" he barely managed to say.

"I'm pregnant," she repeated.

Luke couldn't believe what he heard. This had to be dream. He stood there a minute, unsure what to do or say. He let it sink in and then asked, "Are you sure?"

"Positive. I suspected I was when Sookie had her baby, but I thought it was a false alarm. Please, don't be mad at me," she said, more tears spilling down her face. Luke looked bewildered.

"Mad at you? Lorelai, why would I be mad at you? This wasn't your fault. I helped make this happen, too."

"Um...well, I-I didn't think you would want a baby so soon. I was afraid you'd be scared. Please, Luke, I can't do this alone. I know I did it before, but I don't want to do it again."

"Lorelai, you aren't going to have to do this alone," Luke walked over to her and put his arms around her. "I'm going to be here every step of the way. Yes it may be little sudden, having a baby and all, but we'll get through it," he assured.

Lorelai looked up at him and kissed him passionately.

"I love you so much, Luke. I don't know what I would do without you," she smiled at him, now tears of relief rolling down her cheeks. Luke smiled back at her, wiped her tears away, and took her hand.

"Well, now that we're here, there's something I want to give to you."

"What?" Lorelai asked, confused. Luke went over to his nightstand and pulled a small, black box out of the drawer and walked back to her. He took her small hand in his bigger one.

"I know that you were the one that proposed, but I had actually been planning on asking you. I bought this a month ago, but I was waiting for the right time to give it to you," Luke opened the box and inside was a white gold ring with a beautiful diamond in the center.

"Oh my God," was Lorelai could say. Luke took the ring out and placed it on her ring finger.

"Since you already proposed, I can't really ask you to marry me, but at least now you have an engagement ring. I hope you like it," he smiled at her.

"Luke, I love it! It's beautiful," she kissed him again. "I love you, diner boy"

"I love you, too, crazy lady," Luke rolled his eyes and laughed.

Lorelai couldn't believe it. Twenty minutes ago she was terrified beyond belief. Now, she knew there was never anything to have been worried about in the first place. She was relieved about Luke's reaction, but this was the least thing she expected to happen. He really was the best thing that ever happened to her, next to having Rory of course. She was finally going to have the life she always wanted. She was going to have a baby with Luke and he was going to be right beside her through it all. He was going to be there during the pregnancy, while she gave birth, and to watch him or her grow up. He'd be there to see everything. All was right, well... almost right. She only wished Rory could be near to share this with her.

"Let's go downstairs and I'll make you some lunch," Luke told her, putting his arm around her waist. He was going to be a dad and a husband to the women he'd been in love with for nine years. He was happy and that's all he needed, nothing more.

"And coffee," Lorelai said.

"No, no coffee. It's bad to drink coffee when you're pregnant. Do you want our kid to be missing a finger or something?" Luke asked.

"I drank coffee the whole time I was pregnant with Rory and she isn't missing a finger," Lorelai stated.

"No, she is addicted to coffee though, and I'm surprised at how healthy she is with drinking it all the time. You just got lucky with her."

"Luuuke," Lorelai whined. "I need my coffee!"

"No!"

"Fine!" Lorelai pouted. Luke smiled and kissed the top of her head.

"I promise that I'll give you the biggest cup of coffee known to man after the baby is born," Luke told her.

"Ok, I guess I can handle it," Lorelai told him. He pulled her in for one last kiss and they headed downstairs.
