A couple weeks later and everything was going great for Luke and Lorelai. One strange thing has been happening though; Lorelai has been craving grapes and apples, one morning it all finally comes together. She might be pregnant! She is standing in the kitchen when she discovers she may be pregnant. She picked up the phone and called Rory.
"Please pick up please pick up." She says into the phone.
Rory was still sleeping so it took her awhile to answer.
Rory :( groggy) Hello?
"Rory it's me."
Rory: Moomm, why are you calling so early, its only 6.
"I think I may be pregnant, and I need you to come with to buy a test because I really don't want to do it alone." She says in a scared voice.
Rory sits up in bed.
Rory: You think you're what!? How do you no?? Did you tell Luke?? How long ago was it that you,... you no?? Are you sure you think you may be pregnant!?
"Yes! I think I'm pregnant Rory, I have been craving apples and grapes all week and I just realized I'm a week late. No I didn't tell Luke, I want to be 100 sure first before I tell him. Now will you please meet me in Hartford?"
Rory: Wait, one more question, the baby would be with Luke, right, no one else?
"Yes of course it's Luke's. We have been trying to have a baby; I really hope we conceived he will be so happy. I just know it."
Rory: Ok, I'm just making sure, and that would be so awesome if you were going to have a baby!!! But are you sure Luke would be ok with it? I mean he doesn't exactly seem like a kid person. Oh and where do you want me to meet you?
"I know he doesn't seem like that, but once he told me he wanted to have kids with me, I realized I really wanted it too, and it's not like I'm getting any younger. With everything that has happened between us, I really think we deserve this. Oh and how about the pharmacy in Hartford, you know the one I'm talking about right?"
Rory: Are you talking about the pharmacy that like 5 minutes away from Grandma and Grandpas house?
"No, the one that's about 10 minutes away from there as if you are driving back home from their house, remember now
Rory: Oh, yeah, ok, I just have to get dressed then I'll be there.
"Okay meet you there hun bye."
Rory showers and gets ready while trying not to wake up Logan. Before she leaves, she writes him a note telling him that she is meeting her mom. Then she leaves and heads for the drug store.
Lorelai gets dressed and heads over to the drugstore too. Once she gets there she sees Rory waiting outside.
"Hey kid, thanks for coming here with me." She says and gives Rory a hug.
Rory hugs her back.
Rory: Of, course I'm here! You might be having a baby!!
"I know!" She giggles and they both jump up and down.
"Now let's go buy me that test." They walk into the store and look for a good test. They pick out 3 and pay for them. Rory gets some Oreos and pays for them.
They go home and Lorelai goes to the bathroom and takes all three tests then she and Rory wait until they here the timer ding. Lorelai walks into the bathroom and picks up all three tests, then walks back out of the bathroom with them in her hand.
"There all positive Rory. I'm pregnant." She says slowly and starts to form a smile.
She gets up and hugs her, then the jump up and down.
They stop jumping.
"I have to schedule a doctor's appointment for today before I can tell Luke for sure. Your job is to keep him distracted."
Lorelai makes the appointment and Rory goes over to the diner. Lorelai's appointment is at 11:00. She waits and waits and finally she heads over to the doctor.
"Lorelai Gilmore?"
"Yes that's me." She gets up.
"Right this way please."
The doctor leads her into a room; they talk a little and then take a blood test. She gets the results back very quickly.
"Well Lorelai you are definitely pregnant, your only about 5 weeks along. Before you leave make sure to schedule your next appointment."
"Thank you very much."
Lorelai leaves the office with a smile. She had called Rory on her way to the diner and told her she could leave, so Rory left and Lorelai entered the diner.
"Luke, we need to talk upstairs."
Luke: Yeah, sure, is everything ok?
"Oh yeah everything is great!" She says very happy as the walk into Luke's apartment and sit down on the couch.
"Well I'll just come out and say it. Luke I'm pregnant, we did it!"
Luke: Your...your...your what???
"Pregnant. I just went to the doctor today, took a test and found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant. We conceived the third time we tried, isn't that great! Third time really is a charm." She seems very happy but he doesn't so she gets up and tries to hug him.
Luke hugs her back but doesn't no what to say, he loves Lorelai, but he doesn't' think that he's ready for a child, there aren't even married yet.
When the hug is done they sit in silence for a few minutes.
Luke: Lorelai, I don't think I'm really for this ...I need some air; I'll be back in a couple days.
He heads for the door.
"Luke wait, I don't understand I thought you wanted this! Now you're going to just run off, what, are you going to go running to Julia now Luke!" She yells at him.
Luke: No, it's not like that...I...I just don't no if I'm ready for this right now.
"Oh, well okay, I'll give you some time to think Luke. Just remember that this baby needs you and...I...I need you too, I love you." She says quietly.
Luke: I no, I just don't no if I'm ready for this...I...I might be a bad father...I have to go, I'll be back in a couple days.
"You won't be a bad father Luke; I guess I'll see you in a few days." She says and holds back her tears.
"Your...coming...back right?"
Luke: Yeah, I'm coming back, I just need some time. Please, don't cry, I just don't no...About... I have to go.
He tries to smile at her then goes downstairs and gets into his truck and leaves.
"Oh, okay." She watches him leave and cries on his bed.
Luke feels really bad for leaving Lorelai, but he felt like he should get some air before he said something to her that he might regret.
He got into his truck and started to drive to the lake to fish.
Lorelai waited until the diner had a lull, then she walked downstairs and ran to her house as fast as she could. She ran upstairs, slammed her bedroom door, and dialed Rory's phone number.
Rory's cell phone was off and she had gone out to diner with Logan
"Agrhh!" Lorelai gets mad and throws her phone against the wall. She decides to try and stay calm, he told her he needed time to think and that he would come back, that's all nothing to worry about.
The next day Lorelai hadn't been feeling very well and kept having pains, but she just blew them off.
Rory turned on her cell phone and saw that her mom had called so she called her back.
Rory: Mom?
"Oh hey Rory." She says from her bed because she isn't feeling well.
Rory: Mom, what's wrong? Are you sick?
"I'm okay, I've just been having some stomach pain so I called in sick and then I called the doctor and he said just to lay down and relax, and oh yeah Luke left me!"
Rory: Wait?! What?!? Why did he leave??
"Well I told him I was pregnant and he said he needed some air and he didn't think he was going to be a good father. He said he would be gone for a few days and that he was coming back. I just don't understand him, I mean; he says he wants to have a baby and then when it happens, he leaves!" She starts crying.
"Sorry, these stupid hormones." She wipes her tears.
Rory: Mom, its ok, he'll come back; he just needs some time to think, he's just scared. He never did seem like the father type but I think once he thinks about it he'll come back and everything will be ok.
"I hope so Rory, I don't want to raise another kid on my own, and I don't think I could do it."
Rory: He will, mom. And wait your sick? That can't be good for the baby.
"I don't know what's wrong. The doctor said I should be fine, listen Rory I'm going to go, I need to sleep this pain away. I'll call you later."
Rory: Ok, I hope you feel better, and...He will come back. I love you, Mom.
"Thanks and I love you too Rory, bye." She hangs up and the pains get worse so she runs to the bathroom.
When she gets up she notices there is blood all over her pants and the bed. She grabs the phone and dials 911, As soon as she tells them she thinks she is having a miscarriage, she passes out on the floor.
A few hours later she wakes up and realizes she is in the hospital.
A doctor walks in.
"I'm afraid I have some bad news Miss Gilmore."
"What?" She says scared and nervous.
"You have lost your baby, I'm very sorry. You may leave the hospital now; your daughter is out in the hall ready to take you home."
Lorelai is speechless until Rory comes into the room.
Rory runs over and hugs her mom.
Rory: Mom, what happened? When I hung up with you, you were fine.
"Rory...Rory I...I lost my baby." She doesn't cry she just stares at the wall.
Rory: Aw Mom, I'm so, so sorry.
She goes and hugs her mom again.
She lightly hugs back. "Please just take me home now Rory."
Rory: Ok, if that's what you want.
They get into the car and it's quiet all the way home. They get home and sit in the car.
Rory: Are you sure your ok, Mom?
"I'll be fine Rory; you go back to school okay. I promise to call you tomorrow okay."
Rory is afraid to push her Mom anymore so she just says good bye then makes sure she gets inside then drive back to Yale.
Lorelai watches Rory leave and then looks around the empty house. She puts her hands on her stomach and that's when she breaks down. She goes upstairs and cries on her bed.
First she loses Luke and now the baby, she has nothing left.
Luke's on his way back from his fishing trip. He decides to go over to Lorelai's house to tell her that he's sorry. When he gets there, he knocks on the door.
Lorelai hears the knock but doesn't walk down the stairs to answer it; she is in pain, physically and emotionally. All she really needs right now is Luke to be here, holding her, telling her everything is going to be okay.
Luke knocks again, but when she doesn't he just goes in. He looks everywhere downstairs for her, then goes upstairs to her room and sees her lying on the bed crying.
He goes over and puts his arm around her.
Luke: What's wrong?
"Oh well look who finally decided to show up!" Lorelai snaps at him and continues to cry.
Luke: I'm sorry for leaving, Lorelai...I just need some time...I mean I don't no if I can be a good father, I don't want to screw up the baby's life. I'm sorry, and I'm not going to leave like that again. I love you, and I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?
"Yes, i...forgive you Luke, please never leave me again. Besides, you...you..Won't have to worry about being a good or bad father." She says through her tears.
Luke: I'm not leaving, I'm staying here. I love you so much. And I'm going to try to be a good father to our child.
Luke didn't hear the last thing that Lorelai said.
Those last words that Luke said broke her heart even more and turned her cries into uncontroable sobs.
Luke pulls Lorelai up.
Luke: Hey, what's wrong?
He says as he pulls her into a hug and strokes her hair.
She leans into his chest and grips his flannel, trying to calm herself down. After 5 minutes of crying she is calm enough to tell him what happened.
"I wasn't feeling well all day today and then when I got up there...was...blood everywhere and I called 911 and passed out from the lack of blood. I...They said...I...I lost our baby Luke, I had a miscarriage. I know you wanted a kid, I failed you. I'm sorry." She starts crying again.
Luke looks a little freaked by what Lorelai just told him, it takes him a few minutes to talk.
Luke: Look at me.
He waits until Lorelai looks him in the eyes.
Luke: You did not fail me... Yeah, I did want to kid, but you can't help what happened. I love you, Lorelai, I'm so, so sorry that this happened, but you couldn't help what ever it was that made this happen. I no that you want another child but we still have time. I'm really sorry Lorelai, I no how happy you were. But we can always have children, it doesn't have to be right away or right this second, we have time to wait. Hell, we could even have one right now.(He says while kissing her)
"No, we can't have one right now. It still hurts Luke, when it happened I was in so much pain and I wished you were here to help be, but you weren't you left me. You were going to have a child and now your not, are you sad too Luke?" She asks her last question with a very vulnerable look and feel.
Luke: Yeah...I...I am sad. (He looks like he may almost cry)...I'm so sorry for not being here for you. I should have been...God; this is all my fault...If. If I were here, maybe I could have done something.
"Now wait a minute Luke, you not being here has nothing to do with what happened but its okay to be sad and cry. I think I would be mad at you if you didn't cry." New tears start coming down her face.
Luke doesn't no what to say to her.
He pulls her closer and puts his head on her shoulder, trying to hold back tears.
"Luke...pl..Please cry with me, hold me, and tell me everything is going to be okay."
She grips onto him tighter.
Luke looks her in the eyes while letting a tear fall.
Luke: Everything..Is going to be...ok
He pulls her close and just lets the tears fall.
Lorelai holds Luke as they cry together. After 20 minutes of holding each other and crying, they finally calm down.
All of a sudden Lorelai pulls away from him.
"I think I'm just going to go to sleep now." She say very robotic and turns away from him.
Luke: Are..are you sure?
He says while wiping his eyes.
"I just know that if I don't sleep and stay here then I will be asked a ton of questions about the baby and I don't want to deal with it. I don't want people to have to know that I killed my own child!" She raises her voice towards the end
Luke: No...Don't say that, you couldn't control what happened; it was not your fault.
"How could you say it's not my fault Luke, I had a little person growing inside of me and suddenly I don't? Maybe this kid knew who his or her mother was going to be and said oh man we don't want her she's just one big screw up whose fiancé leaves her for 2 days and doesn't even call. Then that's when the kid realizes, I better get out of here, and he leaves."
Luke: Lorelai, don't say that..you are a great mother... You don't need to be doing this to your self. And I'm...I'm really sorry for leaving you like I did, I just...I was just scared, that I wouldn't be a good father...Please quit saying that it was your fault, its just making you more upset.
"How do I make myself not feel this way Luke, please help me. I feel horrible; please make the pain go away." She turns over and curls up against him, vulnerability clear in her eyes.
Luke lies down beside her and puts his arm around her and strokes her hair.
Luke: I don't no what to say to make the pain go away, Lorelai...but...this was not your fault.
"It's not my fault, it's not my fault." She said over and over again.
Luke pulls her closer and kisses her fore head.
Luke: Shhhh, everything is going to be ok.
"I love you Luke, please lay with me and never leave me. Please, I rally don't think I should be left alone
Luke: I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere.
"Good." She cuddles against him like a baby and doesn't let go of him, she soon falls asleep.
When she falls asleep Luke goes downstairs and sits on the couch.
He feels terrible, he hates that this happened and that he left Lorelai, he thinks he could have done something for the baby.
He sits there for a while and then he starts crying.
A half hour later Lorelai wakes up, finally with no tears. She notices that Luke isn't in bed anymore so she walks downstairs and she sees him crying on the couch. She sneaks by him and goes into the kitchen. She makes him some tea and sits next to him.
"Here, I made you some tea." Lorelai tells him softly.
He wipes his eyes before he says anything.
"Thanks." He says while taking the tea.
(Long Pause)
Luke: Lorelai, I'm really sorry.
"Its okay, that nap I took helped a little. You should rest too and Luke, I promise to try and get you another child soon, but my stomach and well...down there, (she points) still hurts, I'm sorry."
Luke: No, don't be sorry its not your fault...it anything its my fault, if I just stayed here then I would have saw what was happening and I could have got you to the hospital sooner...I'm sorry.
"I think we should just stop blaming ourselves, its not getting us anywhere. I still don't know how to get the pain away and not blame myself but I promise I'm going to try my hardest to not blame myself and to move on. You with me?"
Luke: Yeah...ok. Are YOU ok, I mean with the pain and being sick and everything?
"Well I was sick because it was stomach pain, so that's okay. But I'm still in some pain, the doctor gave me medicine to take if it got so bad that I couldn't move or was just in a lot of pain. The pains are getting a little worse after I just woke up, but I'm sure I'm fine."
Luke: Are you sure? I can go get your medicine, or take you back to the hospital.
"No, no, I don't want to go back to the hospital. I'm just going to go back to bed and lay down could you bring me my medicine in bed? It's in the bathroom." She gets up holding her side.
Luke: Yeah, go lay down, I'll go get it.
"Thanks Luke." She walks upstairs while holding her stomach and lays down on the bed, waiting for Luke.
Luke comes back in with a glass of water and two pills in his hand. He hands them to her then goes to the other side of the bed and lies down.
"Thanks." She takes them and puts the glass down and holds her stomach again.
Luke: Are you sure you don't want go back to the hospital?
"I'm..Sure..I'll be okay Luke, I just need to rest." She winces a little in pain.
Luke: Ok.
He kisses her fore head then puts his arm around her and they fall asleep.
They fall asleep for the rest of the day and into the night. Its 10:00 at night and Lorelai wakes up with a really bad pain.
"OW!" Lorelai screams.
"Ow, Luke wake up, it hurts really hurts. Ow ow!" She screams and cries and starts having trouble breathing.
Luke wakes up then turns around.
Luke: What's wrong?
"Luke...Hospital, now please!" She yells in pain, then turns over the bed and throws up.
Luke gets up and pick Lorelai up and takes downstairs and puts her into the car.
On the way to the Hospital
Luke: Are you ok?!?
She shakes her head no and leans down, throws up and passes out in the front seat.
Luke: Lorelai?! Wake up, Lorelai!
He drives faster to the hospital but there still about 20 minutes away.
He takes her hand
Luke: Everything is going to be ok.
He says to Lorelai even thought she can't hear him, but he really means it for himself.
They make it to the hospital and Luke picks up Lorelai and rushes her inside. She is still passed out.
They get her into the emergency room and they are doing test right now so Luke can't be with her.
He's in the waiting room right now freaking out. And praying that she'll be ok.
An hour later the doctor comes out to speak to Luke.
"Doctor, how is she?" Luke jumps up from his chair.
Doctor: Well, she's going to be ok. But she's still in a lot of pain, and will be for the next few days, which why she should stay here. What she had were kidney stones. They were really big and they couldn't come out of her body, so we had to go in and take them out. She is still throwing up from the pain, but she should feel a little better tomorrow morning.
"OH thank god she is okay, May I please go in and see her?"
Dr: Yes, she's in room 301.
"Thank you." Luke says and hurries down to her room. When he gets there he rushes to her side, she looks very pale and in pain. He feels terrible that he can't take the pain away.
"Hey you." Lorelai says quietly from the bed.
Luke: Hey, how are you? Did the pain go away at all?
Luke gets a chair and pulls it over to the bed. Then he takes her hand.
"A little, it feels better now that the stones are out, but it still hurts."
Luke: I'm so sorry; I should have brought you here sooner that way you would have had to go through so much pain.
"Luke its okay, you didn't know for sure and I told you not to bring me here." She pauses and looks around, all of a sudden she starts laughing and crying.
"This is funny isn't it, first I lose my child and now I had kidney stones, what's next. Is a giant anvil going come drop on my head and kill me!"
Luke: No, it's not funny, and I don't think they make anvils anymore, anyway.
He gets up and hugs her then kisses her fore head.
Luke: I'm glad that you're ok. But you really don't look ok. Are you sure you feel ok?
Sorry that I stopped here, but I got tired of copy and pasting things from one page to another.
Please leave a review, I'm trying to post a lot all at once so that we can get through the mushy stuff. I'll post more of it soon.
