"Hey." She smiled as she sat down on a stool in front of him.
"Hey." He said not looking up. He was looking through receipts.
"You're here early. Did you get sick again?" He asked finally looking up. She could tell in his eyes that he was worried.
"Yes, but, I figured out what it is." She said slightly nervous. "Can we maybe talk...outside." she pointed to the Gazebo.
"Yeah. Sure come on." He walked behind the counter holding her hand; he led her out the diner.
They sat on the bench under the gazebo in silence for a minuet or so until Jess broke it.
"So you wanted to talk?"
"Yes. I figured out a while back, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would be afraid and run, and leave me. I'm sorry for not telling you." Mandy confessed really quickly.
"What didn't you tell me?" He asked confused.
"I'm p-pregnant." She stuttered. Jess, who had been looking at his hands, looked up." I'm sorry for not telling you sooner. I was scared." Mandy cried.
"Shh..." Jess hugged her. "I am really happy. You have nothing to be sorry about. I am happy. Really happy, plus this gives us an excuse to buy that house." He joked. She laughed and kissed him.
"You're happy?" She asked still not sure.
"Extremely." he said. She nodded and they returned back to the Diner.
Rory walked into her house, and went straight to her and Tristan's room. He was sitting in his boxers watching T.V. As soon as he saw her walk in he smiled, and turned the TV off.
"Hey Mare." He smiled.
"Bible boy." She teased. She lay next to him and he put his arm around her as she snuggled more into his chest.
"Mandy's pregnant" Rory said.
"Really?" Rory nodded. "Wow that's great. I bet Jess and her are really happy."
"Mandy had a little melt down. She was scared, but, yeah she's happy." Rory looked up into his eyes. "Tristan, are you ready to have kids?"
"Whenever you are. I would be over the top happy to be a Daddy, but if you're not ready, then that is perfectly fine." he said.
Rory smiled and closed her eyes after a couple minuets she whispered. "I think I'm ready." She sat up and faced Tristan. "We've been married for over a year. We have a house. We both have steady jobs. I'm ready."
"Really?" Tristan asked with a huge grin.
"Really!" Rory nodded eagerly. Tristan kissed her passionately and slowly laid her back on the bed.
Hannah walked into the house later that evening around 5 0' clock. Lorelai ran to the door to greet her with a huge smile.
"You're happy?" Hannah asked. Lorelai nodded eagerly. "Did George Clooney call and ask you for your hand in marriage?" Hannah asked sarcastically.
"Not yet, but he will." Hannah rolled her eyes as she took her jacket off and hung it up. She walked into the Living room and Lorelai followed.
"Guess who's pregnant?"
"Aren't you a tad bit old to be pregnant? You are what? 43?" Hannah asked.
"Hey. Play nice!" Lorelai pouted. "I wasn't talking about me! Lord knows I haven't gotten lucky since...God I don't know. WAY to far back." Lorelai laughed.
"Eww Mom. I didn't need to know that." Hannah said walking up the stairs to her room. Lorelai just followed.
"You didn't need to know about your mother's non-existing sex life?" Lorelai teased.
"Okay. Just tell me who's pregnant." Hannah sighed.
"Drum roll please. RrRrRrR (Helicopter noise done in season 6)..." Hannah cut her off.
"What the hell is that?" Hannah giggled.
"A drum roll duh." Lorelai said as a matter-of-factly.
"Sounded like a helicopter." Hannah grinned.
"Whatever. Jeez you ruined the whole big moment. I was in the zone." Lorelai threw her hands up.
"Mom!" Hannah grabbed her hands. "Who's pregnant?" Hannah asked calmly.
"Britney Spears." Lorelai grinned. Hannah glared at her, and Lorelai sighed. "Fine. Where's your sense of humor?" Lorelai asked.
"With my patience, on vacation. Come on tell me." Hannah said.
"What's with the tude?"
"I am not giving you attitude, I'm just nervous." Hannah muttered.
"Aw honey. The date will go fine." Lorelai smiled. "Oh yeah Mandy's pregnant." Lorelai blurted out.
"Finally she tells me." Hannah laughs. "Wow that's so great. Now if Rory would get pregnant. Mariano Baby, and DuGray Baby can be best friends." Hannah cooed.
"Yeah. And we can buy them matching outfits." Lorelai grinned.
"Unless they are a boy and a girl, but if not I still doubt Jess and Tristan will go for it."
"Let's stop planning because Rory isn't pregnant...Yet." Lorelai walked out of the room.
Jess and Mandy were sitting in a Doctors office in a clinic in Hartford. The Doctor had already checked them out, but they were still waiting for the lab results.
"Hey can we stop by Lorelai's before we go home. Hannah's got her first date." Mandy smiled.
"What? She's too young!" Jess said.
"I think you were doing a lot more than dating at her age." Mandy teased.
"That's what I'm worried about." jess mumbled.
"Chill. It'll be okay..." Mandy smiled. "Imagine how your going to be if we have a daughter."
"If we have a daughter, then she's not going to be able to date until she is 40. Plus if she looks anything like her mother the guys will be falling for her." He smiled. Mandy kissed him.
"...And if we have a boy and he looks anything like his father, then he's going to have to fight the girls off." Jess just smirked.
The Doctor walked. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Mariano. I'm Doctor Nash." She shook their hands. "Well Mrs. Mariano. It looks like from these test results, you are...a month and a half along." Jess and Mandy smiled.
Hannah was in her room throwing her clothes around; she couldn't find the perfect outfit.
"MOM! Help!" Hannah yelled.
Lorelai came rushing in. She saw the mess and knew exactly what to do. She picked up a pair of low rise jeans. They were a darker shade of Denim. She handed them to Hannah.
"I need a shirt. I'm not going topless." Hannah was frustrated.
"Obviously." Lorelai laughed. "Okay...let me see. Okay do you want it to say "come and get it?" or "I want you to feel like coming and getting it, but keep your paws off." Lorelai giggled.
"Mom!" Hannah sighed.
"Fine Fine fine." Lorelai picked up an off white sweater. Since it was winter it was perfect.
" Mom. Can I borrow the pretty blue scarf, Hat, and gloves?" Hannah asked.
"Yes, you know. Rory never wanted to borrow my scarfs. That sister of your's." Lorelai giggled.
"Yes yes, that sister of mine, okay mom. I really need to get dressed and I can't with you there" Hannah pointed out.
"Fine fine." Lorelai backed out of her room and walked downstairs. A couple minuets later, Jess and Mandy walked in with huge grins.
"Hey, Congratulations Jess, what are you two doing here?" Lorelai asked.
"Thanks, and we came to interrogate Cooper." Jess smiled.
"Play nice..." Before Lorelai could finish, Rory and Tristan walked in.
"Hello Hello." Rory yelled. "Tristan wanted to come and kick Coopers butt, and make sure, if Hannah comes back hurt he's dead."
"Well that's very nice of you. I am really sure that Hannah would appreciate it." Lorelai replied sarcastically.
Hannah walked down the stairs with her with her hair right at her shoulders curled perfectly, and her scarf around her neck.
"What are you all doing here?" Hannah asked worriedly.
"We came to see you leave on your first date." Tristan smiled.
"No! All of you go home. Seriously. Rory you remember how awkward it was when Mom was here escorting your date with farmer boy?" Hannah never like dean, and started calling him that because he heard Jess and Tristan call him that. "And then Luke came, and so did Sookie"
"Okay okay. I get it, but this is different." Rory replied.
"How?"
"Well for one Cooper asked you out. Mom asked Dean out except for me." Rory replied.
"Cause he didn't have the guts like me to ask Rory out." Tristan smirked.
"You taunted me." Rory hit him playfully.
00020000069600002072690,
"Whatever. Stay. I don't care." Hannah muttered as the Doorbell rang. Tristan and Jess both stood up, but Hannah pulled them away from the door.
"You all already met him, so no need to talk with him. Bye." she kissed everyone on the cheek and walked to the door and opened it.
"Hey. You look great." Cooper smiles. He is wearing nice jeans and a blue button down shirt.
"Thanks so do you. Come on let's go before Tristan and Jess try and kill you." Hannah shoo's him through the door.
Cooper opens the car door for her and closes it. When he climbs in, she is already looking through all his CD cases.
"Ooh I wanna listen this." Hannah smiles popping in a CD.
Cooper smiles and watches her as she sings and dances to the music. They pull up to the restaurant, and Cooper opens the door, and as they walk up to the door, Hannah finally realizes where she was. She stops dead in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Cooper asks.
"This is Sniffy's." Hannah whispers.
"Yeah. My parents come here once in a while. They have really good food, but don't bother ordering cause..." Hannah cuts him off.
"They serve you something totally different."
"You've been here?" Hannah asks.
"Yeah. The owners are like my grandparents. I see them once in a while, but they are usually busy with the store, and after my dad died, we stopped coming here. I haven't seen them a whole lot since the accident." Hannah whispers.
"Oh. I'm sorry, do you want to leave?" Cooper asks, cursing himself in his head on how the date is going already.
"No. I want to go in." Hannah grabs his hand, and leads him in. Maisy was at the entrance. She looked a lot older.
000200000CBB00002702CB5,
"Hey Maisy." Hannah slightly smiled.
"Hannah!" She exclaimed. "Come here." She held her in a tight embrace." how are you? Are you behaving for Lorelai? You better be." Maisy smiles. "But don't behave too much. You have to get into trouble once in while."
"Oh I do." Hannah grins. "Where's buddy?" Hannah asks.
"In the back cooking of course." Maisy pointed to the kitchen. Hannah walked over to the kitchen and went around Buddy, who was instructing a couple cooks on a meal. She put her hands on his eyes.
"Guess who." She said in a deep voice.
"Who?" He asks and turns around. "Hannah!" he smiled and hugs her. "Long time no see. What are you doing here?" He asks.
"Date." Hannah giggled.
"Oh well you better get out there and not leave him standing." He winked.
Hannah walked out, and saw Cooper in a corner table looking through the menu.
"Hey" She said sitting down.
"Hey. Nice little reunion?" He asked.
"Yes. Very good. Thank you." Hannah smiled.
The rest of the Dinner went perfectly. They ate laughed, and talked. Cooper walked her to the front door of her house.
"I really had a great time. I hope we can do it again." Cooper said hopefully
"There is a big possibility that I am free on Saturday." Hannah smiled.
"Good." he smiled. They both leaned in and kissed each other. It was short at first. Cooper put his hands on the small of her back, as she put her arms around his neck. They were just about to kiss again when the front door opened, and Tristan, and Jess walked out.
"Hey." They said at the same time.
"Hi." Hannah said annoyed. She shook her head at the guys and pecked Cooper on the lips and walked inside. Tristan and Jess stood their smirking at Cooper.
"Bye." He said walking away to his car.
Hannah walked into the house, and immediately, the women were on her begging her for details.
"How'd it go?" Lorelai asked
"Great." Hannah sighed.
"Why the long face then?" Mandy asked.
"He took me to Sniffy's for dinner." Hannah sat on the couch and laid down pulling her knees to her chest, as she curled up into a ball. Lorelai sat in front of her as she stroked her head
"Aw honey. I am sure it was good to go back. We haven't been there since..." Lorelai stopped and looked up at Rory who was sitting on the coffee table next to Mandy. "Maybe I've been sheltering you from going to places that reminded you of your dad. Maybe I should of let you...I don't know hon." Lorelai let some tears escape her eyes.
Hannah sat up. "No Mom, don't blame you. You let me go to the cabin every year. You helped me with the Diner. Mom you have been nothing but a great mom since the day my dad and I met you." Hannah hugged Lorelai. Tristan and Jess walked into the house and immediately stopped when they saw Hannah and Lorelai hugging and crying. Rory had tears coming down her face. Tristan went and put his arms around her.
"I miss him mommy." Hannah cried into Lorelai's shoulder.
"I know. I know." Lorelei stroked her hair.
Lorelai's POV
Luke why'd you leave us? We need you here. I need you here. I don't think I can do it anymore. Please Luke, come back. I wish I would've told you sooner, how much I love you. I love you so much Lucas Danes.
