A Different History Repeating Itself
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GILMORE GIRLS, PERIOD.
Chapter 4
It is the middle of the night as Luke is still up. A million thoughts are rolling around his head as he thinks about the twins that Nicole had years ago. Plus he is thinking about the reason why Nicole never told him about the pregnancy. He went down stairs as he sees Rory eating.
Ever since Luke and Lorelai learned about the pregnancy, they have been supportive of her. Plus they were furious that Logan choose to remove his parental rights to Rory's twins. They extended an olive branch to Christopher as they are becoming the grandparents. Emily became even more supportive of Rory. She said that Logan is not even worth her granddaughter's time anymore. Rory worked on her book as she send manuscripts to various places not owned by HPG for many reasons. As it got picked up by a moderate sized one, they signed a book deal with her. They said that it is HPG's loss of a talented writer.
Luke looks at Rory as he sees that she is eating pretzels. "Those night cravings has to end soon right". Luke said to Rory.
Rory looks at Luke as she nods to him. "Yeah, I just have a lot on my mind. The publisher wants to do a book tour a couple of months after the twins are born. Plus how are you handling the news of being a father again through not being told at the beginning". Rory said to Luke.
Luke sighs as he looks at Rory. "I am still dealing with it. I have been through this once before with Anna. I just did not suspect to go through it again with Nicole of all people". Luke said to Rory.
Rory nod as she looks at Luke. "I don't even know what she was thinking. I mean you are one of the most deserving people to know about these things. I told Logan about the twins and he made his choice to not being in their lives except through a check. I will write a character reference for you again if needed". Rory said to Luke.
Luke nods as he hugs his step daughter. "You are the best. However, we have to wait for the results to come out to see if they are or one of them are my biological children. Thank you". Luke said to Rory.
Rory nods as she has a notepad with a list of baby names. "Your welcome Luke", Rory said to Luke.
Luke is looking at the various baby name lists. "You still have not told anyone if it is going to be twin boys or twin girls". Luke said to Rory.
Rory shakes her head to Luke. "No the town has been unbelievable when it comes to it. I do not want to know what the gender is going to be until they came out into the world. They have been bugging me about a gender reveal party or a baby shower. Plus Kirk has been annoying me about being a nanny/baby sitter/au pair". Rory said to Luke.
Luke sighs as he knows about it. "Kirk is always persistent with things like that. It makes me wonder if he is Taylor's son. All of that annoyance has to come some where". Luke said to Rory.
Rory nods to Luke as it is true. "Goodnight Luke", Rory said to Luke. Luke nods to Rory as the two of them went back to sleep.
The next day, Luke is at the diner as it is a rare lull. He sighs as he grabs the phone to make a call to someone.
"Hello, Nardini residence", a female voice said Luke.
"Hello Anna", Luke said to Anna.
Anna is surprised as it is Luke on the phone. "Luke, this is an unexpected surprise". Anna said to Luke.
"I want to ask you something, and I want you to be honest with me". Luke said to Anna.
Anna is confused by it as she is wondering what the question might be. "Sure is everything alright with you and Lorelai? Is it April"? Anna asks Luke.
Luke shakes his head to Anna. "Everything is alright between Lorelai and me. It is a question about April. If April didn't came to the diner on that day and gotten my hair sample and the history that happened since then, when and if you were going to tell me that April is my biological daughter"? Luke asks Anna.
Anna is taken back by the question. "Honestly, I would have told you when April turned 18 years old. I wanted to protect her from being let down by you. I was honestly wrong that you didn't let her down and shown that in that character reference written by Lorelai. What's going on"? Anna asks Luke.
Luke sighs as he is going to tell her. "It seems that you are not the only one that had a child and failed to tell me". Luke said to Anna.
Anna is shocked by it as she is hearing from Luke. "I assume that you already told Lorelai". Anna said to Luke.
Luke rolls his eyes as he is on the phone with Anna. "Yes I told Lorelai right away. It turns out that I might be the father of Nicole's twins". Luke said to Anna.
Taylor walks in the diner as he just heard what Luke said over the phone.
Anna is stunned by the news. "Did one of her twins told you this"? Anna asks Luke.
Luke shakes his head as this is not the case this time. "It is actually her soon to be ex husband #2. He is the guy that Nicole cheated on me with years ago. It is an unexpected twist". Luke said to Anna.
Anna sighs as she does feel bad for Luke. "Luke, I want to let you know that I never stoop as low like Nicole did. I am going to be on your side on this time. Plus April told me that you are about to become a grandfather". Anna said to Luke.
Luke nods to Anna as he got the unexpected ally in her. "Thanks Anna, and yeah I am. Rory is expecting twins. I will talk to you later". Luke said to Anna.
Anna nods to Luke. "Let me know how this whole thing with Nicole turns out". Anna said to Luke as the phone call ends.
Luke sighs as he hangs up the phone. He turns around as he see the town selectman Taylor Doose. "What do you want Taylor"? Luke asks Taylor.
Taylor looks at Luke as he is very nosy. "I was wondering if you know the gender of Rory's twins. The town is preparing to throw a baby shower for her". Taylor said to Luke.
Luke gives a look to Taylor as he frowns at him. "I do not know what the gender of the babies are. Even if I did, I still would not tell you". Luke said to Taylor.
Taylor looks at Luke as he rolls his eyes to him. "I could not help hearing you saying Ms. Lehey's name to whom you were talking on the phone with. Weren't you divorced from her about 12 to 13 years ago". Taylor said to Luke.
Luke frowns as he looks at Taylor. "Yeah what of it, Taylor". Luke said to Taylor. He is wondering why Taylor Doose is bringing her up.
Taylor looks at Luke as he has some information that not even Patty or Babette knows about. "Well, I did see Ms. Lehey some time after the two of you got that divorce finalized to my delight. She was about 6 months pregnant. She told me that the father of the twin is her current husband". Taylor said to Luke.
Luke frowns as he is stunned that Taylor knew about the pregnancy that wasn't shared with the town. "You knew that Nicole was pregnant all this time and you never told me". Luke said to Taylor.
Taylor looks at Luke as he nods to him. "Oh yes, Nicole was not the right woman for you, so I kept the information to myself". Taylor said to Luke.
Luke frowns as he glares at Taylor. "You should have told me this years ago. I had the right to know, and you chose to keep your mouth shut about it. I will personally ban you from diner. Plus I will bring it up at the next town meeting which it will be tonight". Luke said to Taylor.
Taylor looks at Luke as he is busted. "You can't bring it up at the town meeting tonight Luke. The agenda for the meeting is already full of discussions". Taylor said as he is trying to use some excuses.
Luke glares at Taylor as he does not buy it. "Discussions about Rory and what she is having has been the main topic since her 20th week of her pregnancy, Taylor. The second I tell the whole town about it, all eyes will be looking at you. Now get out of my diner". Luke said to Taylor. Taylor scoffs as he leaves the diner.
Luke grabs the phone as he calls Lorelai. "Lorelai, tonight's town meeting will be filled with fireworks that no one saw coming. I will explain later". Luke said to Lorelai as he closes up the diner.
End Chapter
Yeah the next chapter will be the town meeting chapter. That's when more fireworks will go off.
