Lorelai rolled over and cuddled next to Luke in her bed as the alarm went off. It was 5 a.m. on Saturday. Luke opened the diner at 6 on weekends and she knew it was time for him to get up.

"Luke." Lorelai said softly. "Luke, hun, get up."

"Hmm?" Luke replied. They had stayed up late last night talking about when the right time would be to tell everyone about the pregnancy and wedding plans.

"It's time to get up. You have to open the diner."

Together they got out of bed and started getting ready.

"So, when are you going to tell Rory." Luke asked.

"Um, what?" Lorelai asked, pretending not to have heard him. The truth was, she had thought about it already. She knew she had to tell her, but with the current situation, Lorelai was still a little upset with her.

"Rory. When are you going to tell Rory?" Luke asked again.

"I don't know." Lorelai replied, walking to her closet and picking out an outfit.

"Lorelai, I know you are upset with her, but you have to talk to her sometime. You can't give her the cold shoulder forever." Luke said seriously.

"I'm not giving her the could shoulder!" Lorelai stated.

"Come on Lorelai. She's your daughter. You can't keep this from her."

"Oh my God. I'm not going to keep this from her! I was actually thinking about telling her today." she said angrily. Luke walked over to her and put his arm around her.

"Ok, I'm sorry. I just want things to be better between you two." Luke told her.

"I know. I want things back to the way they were, too. I'm just a little stressed out about this, and I want you to be ther when I tell her."

"I know, and I'm here for you. I'll be there. I promise." Luke kissed her and she kissed him back. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Lorelai picked up her phone and dialed Rory's cell and waited for her to answer.

"Hello?" Rory asked on the other line.

"Hey, it's me. I need to tell you something." Lorelai said a little stiflfy.

"Um.. Ok. What?" Rory asked a little nervously. She could tell by her mothers cold voice that she was still angry with her, not that she could blame her.

"Can we meet at Luke's for lunch?"

"Um..sure."

"Ok. I'll see you later. Bye." Lorelai said, eager to end the conversation.

"Mom I.." Rory started, but Lorelai interupted.

"Hey I have to go. I'm in a hurry." she lied.

"Oh, ok. Bye." Rory said a little hurt.

Lorelai hung up the phone. It wasn't like her to treat Rory like this, but it also wasn't like Rory to go and give everything up.

oOoOo

Lorelai walked into Luke's and went over to the counter and sat down.

"Hey, Rory's on her way. I thought we might as well tell her today." Lorelai said leaning over the counter and giving Luke a kiss.

"Ok." Luke said, returning the kiss. At that moment Rory walked in.

"Um... hi." she said tentavely.

"Hi Rory." Luke said hugging her.

"Hey Luke." she said, returning the hug and then turned to face her mom. "Mom, before you tell me anything, I want to tell you something." Rory said nervously.

"What?" Lorelai asked, annoyed. All she wanted to do was get this over with as soon as she could.

"I now you are mad and upset with me. I never meant for things to get this way. I was just stressed out and upset about everything that happened."

"You've been upset and stressed out before. You didn't quit school when that happened." Lorelai replied bitterly.

"Please, let me finish. I've done a lot of thinking. I don't want to quit school. I've decided I'm going back. I shouldn't have let Logan's dad get to me. If I can't take criticism, then I won't be able to become a journalist. They have to take critisism. It's part of being a journalist. So please don't be mad at me." Rory asked pleadingly.

Lorelai just sat there in shock. She didn't expect this. Her mood immediately changed from anger to relief. She walked over to Rory and hugged her.

"Oh, hun. This is the best news I could get. I'm so proud and I'm sorry I was angry. I just didn't want you to give up your whole future because of one persons opinion." Lorelai said still hugging her daughter. Rory, who had been extemely nervous, now breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know. I wasn't thinking. I promise it won't happen again." Rory said hugging her mother. "So what did you want to tell me?"

"Oh yeah." Lorelai said walking over to Luke and looping her arm through his. "We have something big to tell you. You want to tell her babe?" she asked Luke.

"Rory, your mom and I are getting married." Luke told his future stepdaughter.

"Oh my God!" Rory shrieked. She ran over and hugged both of them. "I'm so happy for you guys! When did this happen?"

"Well, your mom actually asked me the day everything went kind of wrong." Luke answered her.

"Mom, you asked?" Rory asked surprised.

"Well, Luke had actually intended on asking me, but I didn't know. He gave me the engagement ring he had planned on giving me when he was going to ask, though." Lorelai told her, extending her left hand for Rory to see the ring.

"Oh wow. It's gorgeous! You have good taste Luke." Rory told him as she examined the ring. Luke blushed a little.

"There's actually something else we want to tell you." Lorelai said.

"Really? There's more? You guys didn't elope did you? Oh man, I really wanted to be there." Rory said upset.

"No, Rory, we didn't elope. The other big news is that you are going to be a big sister... again."

"What?" she asked them, laughing in disbelief.

"We're going to have a baby." Luke told her.

"No!" Rory shrieked. "I can't believe it. I thought you told me it was a false alarm? When did you find out?" she asked her mother.

"I know. I thought it was a false alarm, too. But I was late, so I took the test and found out two days ago."

"This is great." she said happily. "Have you told grandma and grandpa yet?"

"God no, I want to live some happiness before they crush it. I'll tell them next week at Friday night dinner... maybe."

"You mean you're coming?"

"Yeah. I might as well. Things look like they're going to be ok now." Lorelai told her.

"Yeah, thank God." Rory told her mom. "So, anybody hungry? I am."

"Yeah. Hey Luke, can we have some cheeseburgers?" Lorelai asked.

"Sure, I'll make them now." he said and walked into the kitchen.

Luke made three cheeseburgers and they all sat down to eat. Everyone was happy. Things couldn't have been better that day. Lorelai was actually happy for the first time in two weeks. It felt good.
