Lorelai was driving down the road on her way to her parents with Luke sitting beside her.

"You know, I don't think I feel so great. Maybe we should go home," Lorelai said to a frustrated Luke. She had been making up excuses all day, trying to get out of Friday night dinner.

"Lorelai, we've already been through this. We're going to your parents and we're going to tell them. It won't be that bad," Luke told her.

"Why don't we just tell them that we're getting married," Lorelai told him.

"And what are you going to do when you start to show?" Luke asked

"Well, we agreed that we were going to have the wedding before my third month," Lorelai said. "We can just let them think that I got pregnant after the wedding,"

"Lorelai, I don't like the idea of lying to your parents,"

"They'll never know,"

"Yeah, like the time they found out you were going to get married from Sookie before you even considered telling them? Lorelai, we live in Stars Hallow. People will know eventually and then someone will slip to your parents at the wedding or something. Now, lets be reasonable. If you don't tell them, then I will," Luke told her seriously.

"Fine," Lorelai pouted.

When they arrived at the Gilmore mansion, Lorelai refused to get out of the car.

"Come on Lorelai, get out of the car," Luke begged.

"No!" Lorelai said.

"Lorelai, I mean it. Get out or I'll make you get out," Luke threatened.

"You can't make me get out," Lorelai told him, half laughing in disbelief.

Before she knew it, Luke had walked right to her, grabbed her arm and pulled with remarkable force. He dragged her to the door and rang the doorbell. The door opened and a maid appeared in the doorway.

"Hello, we're here for Friday night dinner," Luke told her.

"Come in. Mr. and Mrs.Gilmore are in the living room," the maid told them.

They walked in and went into the living room. Lorelai had a sick feeling in her stomach. She hoped she would throw up and have to go home so she wouldn't have to say anything.

"Mom, Luke! Hi," Rory ran to greet them.

"Hey babe," Lorelai said hugging her.

"Hi Rory," Luke said, hugging her, too.

"Hello Lorelai, hello Luke," Emily said, speaking Luke's name with noticeable detest

"Hi mom. Where's dad?" Lorelai asked, trying to ignore her mother's rudeness.

"He's in his office. He'll be out in a minute," Emily said. "What would you two like to drink?"

"Um, water's fine," Lorelai told her.

"I'll have some water, too," Luke said a little uncomfortably. He didn't have many great past experiences with Emily.

Emily looked at the two suspiciously at their drink orders. It wasn't like Lorelai to order water over alcohol, but before she could say anything about it, Richard walked into the room.

"Hello Lorelai, Luke, Rory," Richard greeted them.

"Hello dad," Lorelai said.

"Hi grandpa," Rory hugged him.

"Hello Mr.Gilmore," Like said standing up and shaking his hand. He was a little more comfortable with Richard than Emily.

"Luke, how are you?" Richard asked.

"Fine, sir. And you?" Luke asked.

"I'm very well, thank youm" Richard said. "Shall we sit?"

Everyone sat down. It was very quiet and you could cut the tension with a knife. Luke looked over at Lorelai. She shook her head, but Luke gave her a look telling her that now was the best time to announce their news.

"Mom, dad, we have something to tell you," Lorelai announced, feeling more uncomfortable than she had when she walked in.

"Lorelai, you were about to say something. Have you lost the ability to speak?" Emily asked in her usual cold tone after Lorelai stayed quiet for several minutes.

"Yes, um, I have something to say," Lorelai took a deep breath and let it out. "Mom, dad, Luke and I are getting married,"

She put on a smile, praying that her parents would not ruin this for her. She did not want to deal with yet another controversial dinner.

"Well thats wonderful Lorelai. It's about time, too. Congratulations," Richard told them both, smiling at them and raising his glass before taking a sip. However Emily stayed quiet. "Isn't this good news, Emily?"

"Yes, good news," Emily said quietly. She may not like Luke very much, but there was little she could do about it now.

"Um, there's actually one more thing," Lorelai said to them.

"Oh God! You're pregnant," Emily moaned, devestated.

"Now Emily, I doubt Luke and Lorelai are ready for a baby right now," Richard tried to reason with his wife.

Everyone stayed quiet. Lorelai looked over at Luke telling him with her eyes 'I told you so'.

"Lorelai?" Richard asked. "Is this true?"

"Yes, dad, it is," she told her father, looking down and playing with her engagement ring. She hated it when she disappointed them, no matter how much she tried to act like she didn't care.

"So, I suppose this is why you are getting married?" Emily asked snottily.

"No mother. It is not why we are getting married," Lorelai told her, temper rising rapidly. "We found out I was pregnant after we got decided to get married,"

"Come on, Emily. They're getting married. Would you rather her raise another child alone? We have to understand the situation at hand and respect what their wishes. And maybe this time we'll get to see the baby grow up. We did miss Rory's childhood, after all," Richard said calmly. He did think it to soon for them to have a baby, but he knew Luke was a good man and Lorelai had already raised one child. It wouldn't be as hard this time.

"Ok, I'll be happy about it, but," Emily said. Lorelai knew she wouldn't let this off that easily. "I want to be apart of the baby's life more often. I want to be there when he or she is born. I want to see him or her every week. We could continue to do Friday night dinners and I could see it then. I also want to be apart of helping plan the wedding. I don't want to miss out on this. I've missed out on too much to be missing anymore. Do we agree?" Emily asked.

Lorelai was relieved that she didn't throw the tantrum she thought she would have thrown. Luke knew why she was acting reasonable. She was the one who told him to go back to Lorelai. She head promised not to interfere with their relationship.

"Is that ok with you?" Lorelai asked, looking at Luke.

"It's fine with me," he said.

"Ok mom, we agree. Thank you so much," Lorelai said.

"You're welcome, Lorelai. Best wishes," Emily said, somewhat happier that she had gotten what she wanted.

"I'm so happy for you guys. I know I already told you this, but I wanted to tell you again," Rory said getting up to hug her mom and future stepdad. She, too, had been worried that things would go wrong. She was glad that it had worked out.

"Well, this is lovely. Now, why don't we all go into the dinning room and eat," Richard announced. Everyone got up and went to the dining room.

"So when is the wedding?" Emily asked.

"We haven't decided yet. Maybe sometime in July," Lorelai told Emily. "We want to have the wedding before my third month,"

"Where will it be?" Rory asked.

"Probably in the town square. We were actually going to discuss the plans tonight," Lorelai said.

"Where will you live?" Richard asked.

"We're living in Lorelai's house," Luke told him.

"That's nice. Have you told your parents about you and my daughter?" Richard asked.

"Um, dad, Luke's parents passed away a while back." Lorelai told him, not wanting Luke to be in an uncomfortable position.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Richard said regretting his question.

"It's ok. It happened a long time ago. Before I even met Lorelai," Luke said.

"So, what school will you send the baby to when it gets older?" Emily asked.

"Well, it will probably got to public school in Stars Hallow and then hopefully he or she will decide to go to Chilton like Rory," Lorelai said.

"Why not private school?" Emily asked

"If he or she wants to go to private school, mom, then we will send it to private school," Lorelai told her.

"I would actually rather he or she go to private school," Luke announced. Lorelai looked at him curiously. "I want the best we can give them. I want it to be smart and have a great future like Rory,"

"Well, Luke, I applaud your decision," Richard said. "Your going to be a great father. Emily, I think Lorelai chose a pretty suitable man," Emily had been surprised at Luke's decision. She had judged Luke too quickly. He was a man of great intintions.

"Yes, I think so too. I may have judged you too soon Luke," Emily smiled.

"Wow," Lorelai said shocked. She couldn't believe what she heard. "Hey mom, can you say that again? I want to record that on my phone," Lorelai reached into her purse, digging around for her cell.

"Oh, Lorelai, stop. I haven't always not liked your boyfriends," Emily said. She meant Christopher, but she wasn't going to say anything.

"Well, mom, pretty much you have. But I like this side better. So, I think I want you to help me with the decorations for the wedding," Lorelai told her.

"I know a great wedding planner that does beautiful decorations. Shall I call her?" Emily asked. She had always wanted to help Lorelai with her wedding. She had decided that Lorelai was going to have a Russian themed wedding when she was five years old. If she couldn't give her a Russian wedding, helping with the decorations was the next best thing.

"Sure, but if I don't like her than she's out," Lorelai said. "And Rory, I want you to be my maid of honor,"

"Oh cool! Thanks mom. What color will my dress be?" Rory asked, excited.

"Um... pink, blue, or purple," Lorelai said. "What do you think, mom?"

"I think royal blue. That should be your theme. Royal blue and white. Luke needs to be in a black tux, though," Emily said.

"Is this ok with you, hun?" Lorelai asked Luke.

"I'm leaving the wedding planning completely up to you and your mom. I'm not good at that kind of stuff," Luke told her.

"Ok, so why don't you, me, Rory, and Sookie get together next weekend and mom you can take us to that wedding planner," Lorelai told them.

"Ok. How about Saturday?"

"Yeah, thats fine," Lorelai told her mom. Emily was thrilled that Lorelai was actually asking for her help.

Later when Luke and Lorelai were heading home they talked about everything that went on.

"See? I told you things would work out," Luke told her as he was driving.

"Yeah, amazingly so. I can't believe she didn't flip out. That was exemely unusual," Lorelai said, still shocked at how her parents reacted.

"I'm surprised that you're letting her help with the wedding," Luke said.

"Yeah, well, I'm not good at that stuff either. Sookie helped me do most of the planning before," Lorelai said. She smiled at him and he held her hand.

"I'm so lucky I have you," Lorelai told him as they walked upstairs to their room. Luke kissed her soflty on the lips. "Now, all we have to do is tell the town. I say we tell them at the town meeting."

"Oh joy. Thats going to be a nightmare," Luke laughed.

"Aw hun, I tell them if you want. I still have to tell Sookie," Lorelai said. "Boy, this has been a long week. I'm going to bed. We can talk more about the wedding and stuff tomorrow," Lorelai kissed Luke and climbed into bed.

Luke climbed in beside her and put his arm around her waist. Together they fell asleep.
