Thank you for all the reviews, please keep on reviewing. To the professor, thank you I didn't know how to spell Lorelai and when I tried my computer automatically changed it to the spelling of Lorelei. I know a coat wouldn't really hide the fact that you were seven months but I really couldn't think of anything else so I just used the coat.
"Hello Lorelai" Emily said staring at Lorelai's stomach.
Emily quickly turned her attention back to the Headmaster but Lorelai could tell she was trying hard not to look back at her.
"Hello Ms. Gilmore" the headmaster said.
Lorelai shook his hand.
"And?" the headmaster said looking at Luke.
"Luke Danes" Luke said shaking the headmaster's hand.
"Hello" the headmaster said. "Rory your schedule is right here and your teachers should be able to explain everything"
"Okay" Rory said.
"You are dismissed" the headmaster said.
They walked out of the room. Emily continued walking ahead of them.
"Mom wait up, I can explain" Lorelai said.
"There's no need Lorelai" Emily said. "I think it's quite obvious"
"Mom I know I didn't tell but I didn't want you to think I was so irresponsible" Lorelai said.
"Irresponsible? And not telling me you were pregnant was responsible?" Emily asked. "Are you married?"
"No but it's different this time" Lorelai said.
"Unmarried and pregnant for the second time. It's not even by the same man either" Emily said. "Not that I expect any different"
"Excuse me" Lorelai said. "It just so happens that this time the father isn't going to run off. Luke helped raise Rory. Christopher hasn't even called in five months when Luke is there everyday for Rory. Rory called Luke Dad when she first started talking. So that has to tell you that Luke is responsible enough not to leave me with this child. I am sorry I didn't tell you about my being pregnant but I can't undo that"
"I'll see you at dinner Friday now good bye" Emily said walking away.
"That didn't go very well" Lorelai said.
"I told you to tell her" Luke said.
"Never tell your seven month pregnant girlfriend I told you so" Lorelai said.
"I'll give you an apple if you're quiet" Luke said.
"I'm not hungry" Lorelai said.
"Are you okay, you never say you're not hungry, even when you aren't pregnant" Luke said.
"I feel bad" Lorelai said. "I mean I was basically going to hide from them that they had another grandkid"
"What's done is done" Luke said. "You said you were sorry and that's what matters"
"I guess you're right. Hey will you make Coffee and I a sundae?" Lorelai asked.
"What?" Luke asked confused.
"I was sick of calling the baby It so I decided to call it Coffee" Lorelai said smiling.
"You are a sad person, you know that?" Luke said.
"No I'm special" Lorelai said.
"Uh huh" Luke said.
They drove back to Stars Hollow to the Gilmore house.
"You sit down and I'll make you something to eat" Luke said.
"I want to help, I'm bored" Lorelai said. "I know, I'm going to go check on the inn"
"You are on maternity leave" Luke said. "Go sit down"
"Please, please, please" Lorelai begged. "I'll stop bugging you if you let me go to the inn for five minutes. The doctor said it's good for me to walk and we can walk to the inn. You can come with me, it'd be fun"
"I give, we'll walk to the inn" Luke said.
"Yea" Lorelai said.
"Get your coat on" Luke said.
"Can you believe my due date is on Christmas? Wouldn't that be so cool to have the baby on Christmas?"
Lorelai continued to chatter on as she got her coat on and they started walking to the inn. They were holding hands.
"Oh Lorelai that baby is gonna be beautiful" Miss Patty said.
"Yes you've told me that" Lorelai said smiling.
Miss Patty patted Lorelai's stomach.
"We're going to go now" Luke said pulling Lorelai away.
"People need to stop touching my stomach" Lorelai said.
"Especially Babette and Miss Patty" Luke said.
"I hope Rory's okay" Lorelai said. "I mean that school didn't exactly look warm and fuzzy"
"She'll do fine. Rory always loves a good challenge" Luke said.
"What if she feels left out with the baby is born?" Lorelai said. "I mean it's been me and her for the last sixteen years"
"You see how excited she is when you show her ultrasound pictures" Luke said. "Besides, Rory and you can still spend time together"
They went into the inn.
"Are you here to work or just to drive me insane?" Michel asked.
"To drive you insane of course" Lorelai said. "Where's Sookie?"
"Where do you think? You know if you're going to show up here on your days off then why bother to take them off. Let other people use them to keep their mental sanity" Michel said.
"So Sookie's in the kitchen" Lorelai said.
Luke and she went to the kitchen.
"Lorelai what are you doing here?" Sookie asked. "Aren't you supposed to be on maternity leave?"
"I wanted to check in on things" Lorelai said. "You'll never guess who was waiting when I took Rory to Chilton"
"Who?" Sookie asked.
"My mother" Lorelai said. "And I wasn't covering up the fact that I was pregnant"
"Ooo, was she mad?" Sookie asked.
"She was Emily" Lorelai said.
"Bad?" Sookie asked.
"Pearl Harbor was a small disagreement" Lorelai said.
"That bad?"
"That bad" Lorelai said.
"Why don't you sit down" Sookie said.
"No she needs to go back home" Luke said.
"Party pooper" Lorelai said.
"Home, now" Luke said.
"Yeah, yeah" Lorelai said. "Everything here is running smoothly?"
"Yup, there haven't been any problems" Sookie said.
"Good" Lorelai said.
"I'm going to drag you out of here" Luke said.
"Dirty" Lorelai said smiling.
"Oh jeez" Luke said.
"Bye Sookie" Lorelai said.
"Bye" Sookie said.
Luke and Lorelai went home.
Friday night dinner.
"So how's Chilton going?" Richard asked Rory.
"Good" Rory said.
"Good" Richard said.
There was silence.
"Nice weather we've been having" Lorelai said trying to break the silence.
"Yes it is" Richard said.
There was silence again.
"So Grandpa; how's work?" Rory asked.
"It's wonderful" Richard said.
"This is great Mom, what is it?" Lorelai said.
"Duck" Emily said.
"I knew that" Lorelai said quietly.
It got quiet.
"So do you want to see an ultrasound picture?" Lorelai asked.
"No thank you" Emily said.
The dinner went on in silence. As they were about to leave Lorelai went to her father's study.
"I wanted to ask you if you wanted to see the ultrasound picture" Lorelai said. "Mom didn't really give you a chance to respond"
"I would love to" Richard said.
Lorelai pulled them out of her purse.
"Do you know if it's a boy or girl?" Richard asked.
"No" Lorelai said. "We want it to be a surprise"
"Yes, that's what your mother and I wanted too" Richard said. "When are you due?"
"December 25" Lorelai said.
"Christmas, that's nice" Richard said.
"Dad, I'm really sorry" Lorelai said.
"Yes and I forgive you" Richard said.
"Thank you" Lorelai said.
"Don't blame your mother for being upset though" Richard said.
"Yeah well, don't blame me either" Lorelai said.
"I guess you should be going" Richard said.
"Probably" Lorelai said. "But I have a favor to ask. Do you think you can get Mom to let Rory and me out of Friday night dinner? It's Rory's birthday and it's tradition that we celebrate it then"
"I don't think I can, she already has a party planned for Rory" Richard said.
"Oh" Lorelai said. "I don't suppose you guys are up to meeting Luke"
"Who's Luke?" Richard asked.
"My boyfriend" Lorelai said.
"The baby's father" Richard said.
"Yes" Lorelai said.
"You can bring him to the party, it would be nice to meet him" Richard said.
"I think I will" Lorelai said. "See you Friday"
"Yes, see you Friday" Richard said.
Lorelai and Rory left.
A couple days later.
"Please, I told him you'd come" Lorelai said.
"Do I have to wear a suit?" Luke asked.
"Well, yes but I have to wear a dress so it'd be an equal trade" Lorelai said. "Say yes now and I'll drink tea without bugging you for coffee"
"Fine" Luke said.
He gave her a cup of tea.
"I'm not thirsty" Lorelai said smiling.
"I figured you were tricking me" Luke said.
"You know me well" Lorelai said. "What do you think of Sookie and I finally opening our own inn?"
"I think that would be great, it's what you've always wanted to do. I mean you graduated from that business class so use your degree towards it" Luke said.
"Good because I just bought the Dragonfly Inn" Lorelai said.
"What? Are you kidding me?" Luke asked.
"Nope, Sookie and I are finally going to have our own inn" Lorelai said excited.
"That's great" Luke said.
"Finally things seem to be going good" Lorelai said. "I'm having a baby, I have the greatest boyfriend in the world that is moving in with me, Rory's finally going to live her dream to go to Harvard, and I'm going to live my dream of opening my own inn"
"How about we add another good thing to that" Luke said.
He put three bouquets of flowers on the counter. One was a bouquet of roses, another was yellow daises, and another was carnations"
"I have a game for you" Luke said. "Pick one"
Lorelai thought for a second before she picked the yellow daises.
"Okay, now reach your hand into it" Luke said.
Lorelai did and pulled out a ring box. Her eyes started filling with tears.
"Now give me the box if you want me to do this the right way" Luke said.
Lorelai handed him the box and he got down on one knee.
"The moment I met you I fell in love with you. You made me laugh when no one else could. I watched from a distance for a long time until finally I gathered the courage to ask you out. Now I have but one question on my mind. Lorelai Victoria Gilmore, will you do me the honors of being my wife?" Luke asked.
"Are you insane, of course!" Lorelai exclaimed with tears in her eyes.
They hugged and kissed.
"How did you know I'd pick the yellow daises?" Lorelai asked.
"Rory" Luke said.
"What if I hadn't chosen the yellow daises?"
"Then I would have been very embarrassed" Luke said.
They went back to the Gilmore house to tell Rory.
Review and tell me what you think.
