A/N: Hey guys! MY GOD I am SO sorry it took me this long to get this chapter up. I've been hella busy lately, I'm a freshman theatre major so my time is like zilch lately. But, my deepest apologies.

NOTE: This is indeed a semi raunchy chapter around the middle of it...well lies, a couple paragraphs in. If you don't want to read that part you don't have to, it's not really crucial but it just lets people have a little L/L action :)

To the reviewers: Ya'll are SERIOUSLY awesome. I hope you all like this chapter (and the forthcoming ones) just as much!

OH! There are lyrics used in this one (they're centered, bolded, and italicized) and they're from the Stephen Speaks song "Out of My League" (hence the title of the fic)

Are You Calling Me Old?

Luke and Lorelai woke up the next morning in a tangle of limbs and blankets. Lorelai's leg was thrown across his midsection as she sprawled the wrong way across the bed. All he could see of her was the top of her head, her toes, and one hand. The rest of her body was under a pile of blankets. If there was one thing Luke had missed more than anything, was waking up like this every morning. Granted, he always woke up with a crick in some part of his body, but he loved her erratic sleeping along with everything else about her.

"Evil, evil beeping." Lorelai muttered from under the blanket. Luke could see her limbs flailing slightly as she attempted to find a way out from the cocoon of blankets she was wrapped in.

"I know…get up…we have to." Luke said, sliding out from under her leg that was still thrown across his stomach. All he got was a grunt in response.

"Come on. You've got a doctors appointment…or rather we have a doctors appointment…remember? Get up." Luke said, poking her foot.

"Oh, right." Lorelai said extracting herself from the covers. She shivered when her feet hit the slightly cold floorboards of her room, and then she shuffled over to where Luke was standing. She leaned against him.

"Unless you've turned into a Great Dane…which I pray to God you haven't, I'm going to have to ask that the leaning cease and desist before I fall over." He said, taking a step away, causing her to stumble a few steps.

"Look at you endangering the life of not only me but our unborn child! I could have fallen into the nightstand and been impaled on the fuzzy blue clock that doesn't work and died a horrible painful death and…" she rambled. He silenced her by planting a kiss firmly on her lips, and after a few seconds stepping back.

"Forgiven." She said, leaning in for another kiss, and yet again he stepped back.

"Shower."

"Ugh, fine." She said giving him a playful shove and side stepping around him to get into the shower. She stripped down and stepped into the shower, and was delightfully surprised when he stepped in behind her.

"Oh, well hello there." She said, scooting back against him. "I thought we were in a hurry." She said, as he ran his hand across her stomach.

"Never said that, in fact…we're up an extra half hour early." He said, kissing her neck softly.

"If your lips weren't doing beautiful things right now, I'd have some objection to you getting me up earlier than I have to be…but since they are…I'm just gonna shut up now…" She said, her voice getting breathy with anticipation.

She turned around and met his lips with hers full on. She'd be a liar if she denied the fact that the forthcoming sex wouldn't be amazing due to the fact that not only was it sex with Luke, it was makeup sex, and we-just-found-out-we're-pregnant sex. She smiled as she kissed him, and then probed slightly to get him to allow her tongue access to his mouth.

She was driving him crazy, it was all he could do not to throw open the shower and drag her to the bedroom and…well to be barbaric about saying it…fuck her brains out while they were still soaking wet. Though, he also knew that shower sex was fun…from experience of course. And that experience, of course yet again, had been with Lorelai.

They stood there, groping and kissing and sliding against one another in their warm wet surroundings. His hands slid down out of her tangled wet hair, down her back, and came to rest right on her taut ass, and he slowly kneaded it with his fingers. She leaned into him, harder this time, but not unlike she had earlier when he'd called her a Great Dane…but this time he didn't exactly care.

The skin to skin contact was something she hadn't realized she'd craved as much as she had. As her hardened nipples came in contact with his chest she gasped into his mouth, causing him to pull back a little from her. That would not do, so she pulled him back and even closer than before. Her hands wandered all over his back and down his arms and to his chest. She slid them down painstakingly slow, which she knew drove him crazy, and let them rest gently on his thighs. She felt his leg shudder slightly as she sat her hand on it, and she smiled into the kiss they were still locked in.

They pulled apart, and panting slightly and rested their foreheads together. He slid his hands back up her sides and brought one to rest on her breast as he slowly kissed his way down the side of her face, lingering at the spot right below her ear that he knew was one of her 'spots'. Continuing his way down her shoulder and across her chest he slowly massaged the breast he'd left his hand on as he kissed down between her breasts and slowly across the other one, leaving light kisses that were hardly more than a brush of his lips all the way across and making sure to avoid her nipple.

She was going insane. She took in a sharp breath as he took her nipple in his mouth and sucked slowly, playing with it and every now and then flicking it with his tongue. Her mouth dropped open, she'd forgotten in just two weeks just how amazing that felt, and how amazing he was at all of this. The hands that had been resting on his thighs immediately went to his hair and intertwined in it as he moved from breast to breast, giving each one the time it deserved.

When he was satisfied that she was now plenty hot and bothered, and not to mention so was he, he kissed back up her chest and back up her neck and to her lips.

They turned so that her back was against the wall of the shower opposite of the sprayer, their lips never leaving each other's unless it was to suckle gently on a neck or an earlobe and their hands constantly roaming each other's body. Her hands ran down his chest and back to his thighs, where she didn't rest them this time. She slowly drug her nails up and down the inside of his thigh and she barely had time to think before he'd lifted her up a little with her back still against the wall, giving him access to do what they both wanted.

Lorelai's mouth dropped open in surprise as he entered her slowly but with purpose, and she had only a split second before Luke's lips were back on hers. Their bodies moved in rhythm together, Lorelai keeping one hand braced against one wall and the other wrapped around Luke's neck as they kissed hungrily.

Thirty minutes later, and now running fifteen minutes behind, they emerged from the bedroom fully clothed, showered, and sexed.

Lorelai checked her hair in the mirror and grabbed her purse off the table before running outside to meet Luke at the Jeep. She smiled to herself, they were back to the way they had been before she'd screwed it up.

Wow, that's the first time I've ever admitted it was my fault. Even to myself. Lorelai thought. She smiled, and bit her lip. Everything was working out how it should…well sort of how it should. If things were the way they should be they wouldn't have lost any time, and she probably wouldn't be pregnant right now...well she'd gotten pregnant right before the breakup. So yes, she would have been pregnant.

Luke watched her cross the yard to the Jeep, smiling to herself. There were so many things worth smiling about today of all days.

She felt him watching her, and decided to make it worth his while adding a little extra sass in her step. She tossed her hair and shot him a devilish grin, just like she always had. She pulled open the door of the Jeep and got in, leaned over and gave him a quick peck.

What was that for? He wondered, and before he could say anything she smiled at him from her spot in the drivers seat.

"Just because." She said. She put the Jeep in reverse and pulled out of the driveway and onto the streets of Stars Hollow.

I hadn't even thought about the town…what are they going to say? They don't even know we're back together. Hell, if it hadn't been for our particularly public screaming match near the gazebo they wouldn't know we were broken up. A big deal is gonna be made and that's so the last thing I want right now. I told him I wanted to keep it between the two of us for now…didn't I? Lorelai found herself inwardly freaking out.

Shit. The town. Sometimes I really fucking hate living here, damn crazy people. I'm sure they'll know soon enough…but of course the gossip that will hit them first is that we're back together. Well now maybe some of them will stop shooting me death glares…by now most of them know I wasn't the one who ended it but with that particularly public and embarrassing verbal sparring match, which ended in Lorelai running off towards her house in tears, some still think I'm an awful person for hurting her. Whatever, that's in the past. Forget about it Danes. The town will find out soon enough…but we are keeping this between the two of us for now…she did say that didn't she? Luke, always the rational one, thought to himself.

"We're keeping this between the two of us right?" They both said at the same time, and then laughed.

"I'm guessing you were just thinking the same thing I was." Lorelai said.

"That we live in a very elaborate mental institution?" Luke replied

"Yeah, something like that." Lorelai smiled and said as she continued to drive towards Hartford.

After a few minutes of semi awkward silence, Luke was the first one to break the somewhat heavy pause.

"So what's going to go on at this appointment?" Luke asked, hoping it would be nothing too gross or girl-part oriented, because all though he was a fan of the girl-parts…he had no intentions of getting all up close and personal with them in anything other than a sexual act.

"Well, it's been like…two decades...damn I'm old…since I've done this. Last time I went for my first OBGYN appointment they just did the actual hi-tech pregnancy test and some blood work and then an ultrasound. That's about it. Nothing too gross or anything" she said, smiling and knowing he'd been thinking about that.

"Oh, well that doesn't sound too bad." He said. The silence came back again, but it was more comfortable this time.

Lorelai reached her hand across the console and laced her fingers with Luke's where it rested on his armrest. She squeezed it and he let out the breath he'd been holding for the past few minutes.

Lorelai turned into the parking lot for the doctor's office a few minutes later. She parked the car, turned off the ignition and then turned to face Luke after unbuckling her seatbelt.

"This is your last chance. Once we get in there and they do the ultrasound and we see this kid on the screen there is no backing out. I'll strap you down if I have to. But right now you're still free to run." Lorelai said, keeping her hand on top of his but unlacing their fingers.

"Lorelai. Would I be here if I was going to run. Let's go in. I promise. I'm staying." Luke said, relacing their fingers and pulling her hand towards him and kissing the back of it. She smiled and leaned across and kissed him full on for a few seconds before pulling back.

"You've got lipstick." She said, beckoning him towards her and wiping away the lipstick she'd left above his lip. "That'd make a good impression on the doctor. Walk in and show evidence that we, full grown adults, have been necking in the car before a OBGYN appointment. Leaves little to the imagination, no?" she teased as they got out of the car.

They came around the front of the car and Luke snaked an arm around her waist as they walked into the office, neither of them really sure what to expect.

The waiting room was full of mothers in varying states of pregnancy, a smattering of fathers and some mothers with babies of varying ages. Lorelai lead Luke up to the receptionist where she signed in and put the doctor she was seeing and the time.

"Well Ms. Gilmore, since this is your first visit you'll have to fill out these forms." The perky redhead said handing her three forms, one blue, one pink, and one yellow. She noticed Lorelai had detected the color scheme. "We're covering all the bases."

"What's the yellow for? A transvestite baby?" Lorelai asked. Luke jabbed her in the rib and led her away from the window, thanking the receptionist, and over to the chairs.

"Name, well that's easy….I hate doing these things" she whined as she filled out the form. She looked up after she finished the second form and noticed Luke scanning the crowd and lingering on each pregnant woman in turn.

"Some of these women are just HUGE" Luke whispered to her.

"You do realize I'm going to get that big right?" She said, her face falling a little.

"No, you're not. These women are just…big. You'll be one of those who looks like she swallowed a basket ball." Luke said kissing her forehead.

"More like a beach ball" Lorelai muttered and signed the spaces indicated on the yellow form and handed them to Luke.

"What do I…" he said looking at the forms and then at her…noticing she had turned a simply divine shade of green. "Oh. Go." He said pointing towards the restroom sign. She jumped up and walked briskly towards the bathroom. Luke too the forms back to the receptionist and she smiled at him.

"Are you the father?" she asked, surprising Luke.

"Yes but I don't really see how that's…" he started.

"There's a place for you to sign on here. That's the only reason I asked." She said, sliding the yellow form back to him. He signed his name to the line she indicated and gave her the form back. He smiled to himself as he walked back over to their chairs, he'd just done the first fatherly thing of his life…and there were many more to come.

Lorelai stared in the mirror at herself, deducing if she looked green or not anymore. Hopefully not seeing as how the entire contents of her stomach were now located in the sewer lines below the doctor's office. She washed her hands again and then went back out to join Luke in the lobby just as the nurse called her name.

"Lorelai Gilmore?" she called.

Luke got up and joined Lorelai and they walked through the doors to the hall of exam rooms, but they didn't get through the door before they heard a woman say to her husband.

"Lorelai, that's a pretty name, right that down. I wonder what it goes with…"

Lorelai smiled and poked her head back out the door and said, "Well I've had success with both Victoria and Leigh." The woman turned a deep shade of scarlet and Lorelai winked and went back into the hallway with the nurse and Luke.

A few minutes later Lorelai was situated on the table with a paper gown on and Luke was sitting uncomfortably on a stool next to her.

"Luke, breathe. Nothing in here is going to eat you or hurt you in any way." Lorelai said patting his arm as she saw him staring at the poster of a close up of a woman in labor and the varying stages of the appearance of the head. A little color returned to his cheeks.

A few minutes passed, during which Luke managed to freak out over everything in the room including a model of a fetus…to which Lorelai had said, "Luke! That's what our kid is gonna look like for like 7 of the 9 months." And he'd turned nine shades of red and stammered before she kissed his hand and smiled. Both of them were becoming antsy and more than impatient.

They didn't have to wait much longer, the doctor swept in a few minutes later in a mass of her large white coat and her wildly curly brunette hair.

"Hey guys I'm Dr. Warner." The young woman said, shaking both Lorelai and Luke's hands.

"Lorelai Gilmore" Lorelai said, and then jerked a finger at Luke. "And Luke Danes. Daddy."

"Well, it's nice to meet both of you. How are we today…Lorelai?" She asked after checking the chart.

"Pretty good, pregnant. I think." Lorelai said smiling at the bubbly young woman.

"Well we can solve that question really easy. We're gonna have to take some blood and do some workup on you and all that good stuff, and do your first pelvic…oh don't give me that look daddy…and then your first ultrasound." Dr. Warner said, checking the chart quickly.

She took Lorelai's vitals and made some notes in the chart and then pulled a syringe out of a sterile package and proceeded to get ready to take Lorelai's blood. Luke blanched at the sight of the needle.

"Oh come on Luke, it's tiny in comparison to the one they shove in my back for the epidural." Lorelai said, taking his hand. She wasn't going to let on that she really was nervous, but she knew Luke had picked up on it but she was praying the doctor hadn't. He squeezed her hand back and she relaxed a little as Dr. Warner cleaned her arm with the cool alcohol swab and then he felt her brace herself for the prick.

Lorelai squeezed Luke's hands as she averted her eyes from the syringe and bit her lip as she looked at Luke. They held each others gaze while the blood was drawn and when the needle left her arm Lorelai smiled faintly and mouthed thank you to him before she squeezed his hand and let their hands fall back down on the table.

"I'll run this down to the lab and it'll take like ten minutes to get the results back. I'll have a nurse come in and set up for the ultrasound and pelvic in just a second. You two just sit tight and no funny business. I can't tell you how many times I've walked back in and found some couple making out right there on the table…" Dr. Warner called over her shoulder as she walked out.

Lorelai waggled her eyebrows at Luke and he rolled his eyes.

"Did you really not get enough…two hours ago?" he asked, regarding the time.

"Is there such thing?" she asked, leaning seductively towards him. He gave in and let her trap his lips with hers.

He's come a long way. He used to not let me kiss him in public…not that this is exactly public but we still run the risk of being caught…Lorelai thought to herself.

They sat there, innocently kissing for a few minutes before they pulled apart and she smiled at him, her blue eyes flashing and her hair falling in her face. She reached up to push it away and he beat her to it, letting his hand linger on her cheek for a second. She leaned into it and rubbed her cheek against his hand.

It's her hair and her eyes today,

That just simply take me away.

They didn't have to wait much longer for the nurse, who was followed shortly by the doctor. It didn't take long for them to get the news they'd been waiting on.

"You are without a doubt pregnant. They did the test and it was overwhelmingly positive. You're about 8 ½ weeks along." Dr. Warner said. "Congratulations."

Luke was absolutely beaming, and leaned over and kissed Lorelai quickly before the doctor carried on with the rest of the testing…during which he kept his eyes locked on the upper half of Lorelai, and on the posters surrounding the room. It wasn't until he heard Dr. Warner's rubber glove snap when she took them off did he turn his eyes towards her.

"Everything looks really good so far. Ready for the ultrasound?" Dr. Warner asked, to which Lorelai nodded vigorously and covered her and Luke's hands with her other one, leaning into him a little more. Lorelai and the doctor situated Lorelai's clothing so that her stomach was exposed.

"It's gonna be cold…just a heads up." Dr. Warner said, pulling the cart containing the machine closer to her and picking up the gel. She squeezed a good amount onto Lorelai's stomach causing her to shiver a little. She moved the ultrasound wand over Lorelai's midsection and swept it across a couple times before she located what she was looking for.

Luke felt both his hands getting sweaty and Lorelai's start to shake. In a few seconds they'd see their baby for the first time. He felt like he was going to pass out.

"Alright, here we are." She said hitting a button and turning the monitor to face Luke and Lorelai. "Right here," she said pointing out a lighter spot that was tiny, but easily seen on the screen if you looked for it, "is your baby."

Luke felt Lorelai squeeze his hand which snapped him out of the daze he was in, he had still been staring at the screen. He looked down and noticed the tears running down her face. He leaned over and kiss her softly and then kissed her forehead.

Lorelai looked up at Luke, and squeezed his hand. She couldn't stop the tears running down her cheeks. The moment was perfect. She hadn't had anyone with her the first time she'd seen Rory, and she had to admit this was a much better way to do it. Luke looked down at her and she could see tears forming in the corners of his eyes, but of course he was a big man and wouldn't cry. She almost laughed, but then he leaned down and kissed her softly, and then before standing back up he kissed her forehead and squeezed her hand again.

They turned their attention back away from each other and back to the screen. The doctor had been checking things out during their little exchange and had taken a couple of still shots that she'd give the two of them when they left. She pressed a button on the wand and moved it around again before a faint, but strong, pulsating noise filled the room.

Luke's breath caught in his throat, and he could have sworn his heart stopped. He took a gulping breath before asking somewhat shakily, "Is that…is that the heartbeat?"

Lorelai's tears were running freely down her face again. She was sitting in this OBGYN office with the love of her life and he was practically putty at hearing their baby's heartbeat. He was going to be an amazing father. And he was here.

"Yes, it's nice and strong. Lorelai as far as I can tell you and the baby are in excellent health. We'll see you back in three weeks to check up on you again. I'll write you a prescription for your prenatal vitamins and you can pick it up when you check out. With pregnancy with an older woman, not that you're old, you're just not sixteen anymore," she said, correcting herself quickly, "you've GOT to make sure you take them and are very careful about hat you eat and drink. No alcohol, minimal caffeine and watch the sugar intake.Any questions before I scoot out of here and down to the woman having quadruplets in the room next door?" Dr. Warner asked

"Gah…the caffeine and sugar thing is going to kill me…but no I don't think so. It has been over 20 years since the last time I did this, but I think we've got it covered." Lorelai said, shaking the doctor's hand again. Luke did the same and the door clicked shut behind her.

Lorelai smiled up at Luke, her cheeks still wet with tears. She reached her hands up to wipe them dry when she was stopped by Luke pulling her hands away. He cupped her face with his hands and wiped away her tears with his thumbs ever so softly. She smiled and closed her eyes a little. He leaned over and softly kissed her.

Luke was still floored. He'd known he was going to be a father from the moment she showed him the pregnancy test, but this made it more official. Hearing the heartbeat had almost made him cry. He, the guy who hadn't cried since his mom died when he was young, had been turned to putty by something an inch or so long that was at this point floating warm and happy inside Lorelai. It was something that couldn't even nag him yet. He laughed and shook his head as Lorelai got dressed. She walked up to him after she'd put her clothes back on and put her arms around his neck

"Hi, Daddy." She said, a small smile playing at the corner of her lips.

"Okay, you can't call me that until we're sure that thing can hear…or until it's born." Luke said, giving her a look.

Lorelai smiled, and the two of them left the office after picking up the pictures and paying the co-pay at the front desk. They drove back to Stars Hollow in amicable silence, both still thinking about the baby. Lorelai stopped the Jeep in front of the diner and both of them got out. Lorelai leaned against the side of the Jeep and Luke snaked his arm around her waist before they went inside and pulled himself to her.

"I love you. I don't think I said that today." Lorelai whispered to him, putting her arms around his neck.

"Oh, you did, but I can never hear it too much. I love you too." He said, she pulled his head down towards with her hands that were on the back of his neck. They rested forehead to forehead for a second, staring into each others eyes before he closed the few more inches between them and softly pressed his lips against hers. She smiled at how gentle he was being, it wasn't uncommon these days. He was treating her like she was made out of glass, and she loved it and sometimes hated it at the same time. She deepened the kiss a little, pulling him into her harder and seeing this as a go ahead, which it was, Luke slowly slid his tongue along her lower lip in an attempt to gain access which she readily admitted him.

They stood there, engrossed in each other and the exploration of each other's mouths, hell…and each others tonsils it seemed like, for a good ten minutes. Their hands roaming, hers winding up in his hair, running her hands through it, and his around her waist, the one hand hidden by the car on her ass. They pulled back after the ten minutes had passed to breathe and they rested foreheads together. Both of their blue eyes deepening in color with desire and their chests heaving, it took so little for the two of them to just get completely turned on these days.

"I need to go inside." He whispered.

"Okay. I'm gonna go home and sleep for a little while and maybe give Rory a call." She said, moving her hands to rest on his chest.

"You're going to tell her?" Luke asked.

"No, just want to talk to her. I haven't talked to her in a couple days because of all of this, just need to catch up and see how she and her…non-boyfriend are doing." Lorelai said.

"Oh, okay. I'll be home as soon as I can. I just need to check on things and help Caesar with the dinner rush and then I'll be home," He said, kissing her softly one more time, and then pulling back before things got heated again, much to her dismay. "I love you," he said again in not quite a whisper and then looking down slightly he whispered "I love you too."

Lorelai's eyes filled up with tears and she smiled at him as one trailed down her cheek. "I love you too," she said running her hands down to hold his. "Mommy loves you too," she whispered, letting one of their joined sets of hands trail across her stomach.

"And the feeling that I'm falling farther in love makes me shiver,

but in a good way."
