Chapter Seven:

Luke looked at her…"You're what?", he said shocked.

"Luke you don't have to stay, really, I've done this before. Raised a child on my own. I can do it again. Don't worry Just—"

"Lorelai I'm not leaving, I'm going to be here. I really love you. I know you raised a child on your own before, and you did a great job, but I don't want you to have to do it again". He pulled her into his arms for a hug.

She hugged him back and whispered.."Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." He said as he kissed her head.

Luke was happy but also very shocked. Over days, he was feeling pressure. So she's pregnant…and I am the one that made it happen. I need to marry her. He thought to himself. I'm not sure if I'm ready to get married. This wasn't supposed to happen.

Meanwhile, Rory had broken up with Dean, because she liked Jess. She didn't want to string along dean anymore. She did love him at one point, but Jess had won her heart.

Lorelai continued to go to work. She was happy how Luke took the news. That night Luke came over to her house. Lorelai was watching a movie. He walked in, still thinking about what the right thing to do was.

"Hey I didn't think you were coming over tonight." She said and smiled.

Luke nodded. "Lorelai, I'm not sure what to do here. I'm really confused. Should we get married?".

She turned off the TV. "Luke, No I don't want to get married, just because I'm pregnant. I want to—" She shakes her head.

Luke sits next to her. "Lorelai, you what?"

"This is exactly what happened with Christopher! I got pregnant, and that's the only reason he wanted to get married." She told him.

Luke got up. "You..don't think I love you!"

"No Luke, that's not what I'm saying.."

"What are you saying then Lorelai?" he raised his voice.

Lorelai got up and walked upstairs and started to cry. Rory heard the front door slam and looked out the window and saw Luke driving off. Lorelai had stopped crying after a couple minutes. Rory got up from her desk and went upstairs to her mom's room. She saw that her mom wasn't crying and was shocked.

"Mom, you know Luke slammed the door and left right?". Rory asked curiously.

"Hey angel". Lorelai said as she ignored Rory's last question. "Come here, we can talk. What did you do today?" Lorelai asked.

Rory sat on her mom's bed with her. "Oh I just hung out with Jess and studied a little."

Lorelai smiled. "I don't get how you like studying so much."

"Learning is fun." Rory said. "Mom, what's going on with Luke?".

"Oh Look at the time, It's late. I'm tired." Lorelai told her.

Rory shook her head and decided to give her mom space . She kissed her mom's cheek. "Night, Mom." She went downstairs.

Lorelai turned her lights off, and sat up in bed. She wasn't so hurt over what had happened. She just wanted to take things slow. Eventually, she fell asleep.

The next morning, Lorelai went down to Rory's room and opened the door.

"Hey kid, Let's go shopping. It's Sunday. They're having a big sale at the mall."

Rory knew that her mom was just trying to get her mind off things. "Okay that sounds good." They both got ready and went to the mall.

Luke was just working, and wondered what was going to happen. He decided to just give Lorelai her space for now although, he didn't want to. He really cared about her. He thought about what she said about just marrying her because she was pregnant. He realized that, that was the only reason he considered marrying her now. He eventually thought they would get married, but not so soon. He then had Caesar take over the diner, and he went upstairs to nap because he hasn't slept much the night before.

Lorelai and Rory shopped all day, and we're having a lot of fun together. Lorelai hadn't said anything to Rory about anything concerning the baby or Luke, but she did think of Luke a lot that day.

It was getting Late and Rory and Lorelai returned home, but with only two bags. That was a big change. Rory went straight to bed and Lorelai checked the messages. There was one from luke. She pressed the button and played it.

"Hey It's me. I was just calling to see how..you are. Things didn't end to well last night. Call me please. I love you. Bye."

She sighed, and ignored it and went to bed.
