Cool, people were ok with last chapter.
I didn't take that long this time, though I didn't do it the very next day like at the beginning. I'm taking my time posting this up because I want to keep a chapter ahead of posting. That only makes sense in my head.
Kylie… Saw 4 has Scott Patterson staring, isn't that awesome?!?!?!?! I still can't believe it and I'm still telling everyone XD
Enjoy…
.o0 2004, Still at Sniffy's 0o.
"Ok, so, why are we here?" Sky asked while looking over the menu; even though they never ordered.
"We have some news" Lorelai said shyly, taking Luke's hand in hers, under the table.
"You bought me a car?"
"No" Lorelai told Sky.
"Grandma will get you one, once you graduate" Rory told him.
"No they will not" Luke informed them.
"Of course they won't, I'm not graduating from Chilton" Sky scoffed.
"So you brought us here to let us know Sky's not getting a car?" Rory frowned.
"No, we actually have a good reason" Lorelai told them.
"She's right, a good reason would be me getting the car" Sky said.
"Enough with the car thing, you go to Stars Hollow High, you don't need one" Luke told him.
"I have games"
"In Stars Hollow, if not then the school bus takes you" Lorelai pointed out.
"If I had a car I could drive there"
"Sky, drop it" Lorelai finally said and he finally stopped and began twiddling a fork.
"So why are we here?" Rory asked.
"I'm pregnant" Lorelai announced, Sky's twiddling fork went flying.
"Ew" was his comment.
"Sky" Rory elbowed his side. "Mom, that's uh…nice, good, umm… shocking"
"Don't forget gross" Sky mumbled.
"Lucas…" Luke said warningly.
"I'm happy for you, Mom" Sky said with an honest smile, and gave her a wink; one of those winks Luke sometimes gave without even knowing.
"Thank you" Lorelai smiled at him.
"You're welcome. But I still stand be my previous statement, Ew!" he faked shutter.
They stayed at Sniffy's, ate and once they were done they told Bud and Maisy, who threw in some celebratory dessert.
.o0 That Night 0o.
Rory waited until midnight, making sure Lorelai and Luke were asleep, before walking out of her room and towards Sky's.
"Sky?" she whispered. "Hey, wake up" a little nudge. "Sky" more forcefully, too bad for her Sky had Lorelai and Luke's combined deep sleep. "Wake up" she flicked his forehead and he frowned; Rory kept flicking until he groaned and swatted her hand away. "Are you up?"
"Leave me alone" he flipped to the other side.
"We need to talk about something"
"About boundaries?"
"What?"
"Let me sleep"
"Come on, it's important" she took a seat next to him on the bed.
"Is the house on fire?" he turned to look at her.
"No"
"Are you bleeding?"
"No"
"Can you smile?"
"Yes… what?"
"You didn't have a stroke so, no emergency, let me sleep" he turned away from her again.
"We need to do something" Rory started ignoring him. "For Mom and Dad"
"Apparently you can't take a hint" he mumbled and sat up. "What the hell are you babbling about?"
"We need to help them… somehow"
"Help them with what?"
"Sky" she groaned because he wasn't catching up, though she hadn't given him anything to catch up to. "Baby's are expensive, or I've heard, and I'm in college, and you'll be in college, and there's the Inn and…"
"You're babbling again"
"I don't want them to struggle"
"I'm half asleep here, struggle with what?"
"Money"
"Ok you lost me, are you sure we can talk about this tomorrow? You're here for the rest of the summer, I'm sure we'll be able to find ten minutes to talk"
"No. Now, I'm sure I can find a few more scholarships, if not I can get a loan…"
"My Dad will kill you if you do"
"Ok, not a loan, maybe I can get a job"
"You're in Yale"
"Oh my God, really, I had no idea" Rory said sarcastically.
"Ha-ha, I meant that you're a full time student, you have your plate full as it is; plus Dad would kill you if he finds out"
"Apparently he's just looking for a reason to kill me"
"Don't worry, there's a bunch of people on his list, he might never get to you" Sky assured her.
"Good to know" Rory teased but then returned to the main topic. "So…"
"You could sell your blood periodically"
"Come on, Sky, be serious" she groaned and dropped backwards on his bed.
"Fine…" he let out a deep breath. "I-I'll get a job"
"How? You have school and baseball; plus you help Dad out"
"I can get a part time job"
"And do it while you sleep?"
"No, I could… um… the weekends! I can get a part time job on the weekends"
"On the weekends you help Dad out…"
"I know"
"… after your game…"
"I know"
"So when would you work?"
"I can go to the game, help Dad out for a few hours and then go to my job; how hard can that be"
"Sky…"
"I know I know, stupid"
"What if I stopped helping Dad out?"
"I think that would just end up costing more money because he'd have to hire someone new"
"Ok, so, basically you came up here, woke me up, and got me thinking about this just so you wouldn't have to worry all by yourself?"
"No, I wanted you to help; I don't want them to struggle later on"
"Could you two stop that?" Luke's voice was suddenly heard from the door frame making Rory and Sky jump up.
"God! Make a sound or something" Rory exaggerated placing a hand over her heart.
"Are you two done worrying about things you shouldn't?" he walked into the room.
"Well according to last weeks memo we still have five more minutes…" Sky said then turned to look at his clock. "… yeah, five more minutes" he nodded, Rory giggled.
"Shut up" Luke told him. "And you two stop it"
"But…" Rory started.
"I mean it. Me and your Mom are perfectly fine, and we will still be fine after the baby is born and Sky's in college"
"So you're just replacing me?" Sky faked hurt.
"Sky…" Luke gave him the threatening tone of voice.
"Hey, I'm just the innocent by stander here, Rory was the one who barged in here and woke me and started talking about money and… Daddy it was horrible" he grabbed the blankets and hid underneath them.
"We're ignoring you know" Rory told him. "You get very stupid in the middle of the night"
"Yes, and that's why we never wake him" Luke said with a smirk. "And, Rory, stop" he told her sternly.
"But…"
"I mean it"
"Yeah" Sky added from underneath the blanket before coming out. "And now get out and let the boy get his beauty sleep" he got more comfortable in bed. "All this handsomeness is not God given, yeah I got some from Dad but…" he kept talking.
"Oh shut up" Rory grabbed one of his pillows and smacked him; Luke just chuckled and left them, moments later Rory left.
