Lorelai was just starting to show,she was three months pregnant.But she made sure to wear baggy clothes.It had been eight weeks since she had talked to Luke,hell even set foot in the diner.She had no clue why she was so mad at him,maybe she could pin it on the hormones or the stress.Not only was she not talking to Luke,but she hadnt told Rory either.Sookie was very understanding,letting Lorelai leave and making sure Michel wasnt on her back.
The alarm clock rang loud and clear,and was answered by a groan.Shifting slightly Lorelai silenced the clock with a slap.It was ten am on a Saturday morning ! Lorelai could not remember why she had set the clock for this early,and right now she didnt care.Burrowing her face back into the pillows she closed her eyes,but found she could not for the life of her get back to sleep.With a groan she left her warm nest of blankets,froze and ran to the bathroom.After thoroughly completing her required morning sickness,she got dressed and put on her make up,of course she took a shower first.After making sure she looked presentable enough to leave her house she headed downstairs,tossed some old magazines and grabbed her keys.
Heading down the sidewalk,Lorelai was deep in thought.Most of it was about the Inn,but about her guilty conscious too.She knew she should not have blew up at Luke like that,but she just could not help it.The whole ordeal was a bit to stressful to her liking.With a deep breath Lorelai dialed a number into her cell phone.Just like she hoped she got the voice mail.
"Hey Rory,its me.Me is your mother..me.Uhm..I really have to tell you something,and I dont think I can do it on the phone,uhh,stop by when you get the chance.I1l see you..later." Lorelai finished,clipping the phone shut with a sigh.Putting it back in her purse,she began to think of what she could possibly tell Rory.So deep in thought she was,she bumped into someone,and stumbled.Whoever she had run into caught her arm to prevent her from falling and she fell into them.Raisng her eyes,slowly going up over the flannel shirt,until finally they rested on his rugged face.
"Luke." she said weakly.
"You okay ?" he asked concerned.
"Im,uh Im fine." she said,nodding.Then she noticed she was still leaning agianst his chest,she backed up slightly.
Luke nodded and released her,he turned to leave but was stopped by her voice.
"Luke Im really sorry for blowing up at you before." Luke turned around
"Its fine." he replied.
"No its not,I just am having some issues." she gave a pathetic laugh directed at herself."And I was just under alot of pressure.I didnt mean to blow up really."
Lukes brow furrowed,now he was definitely worried about her-but to avoid her blowing up again- he nodded.
"Its fine."he assured her.
"Were good ?" she asked.
"Were good." he gave her a smile.
Lorelai smiled back and headed toward the Inn.
When she arrived at the inn,Lorelai was surprised to see Rory sitting out in the lobby of the inn.Swallowing heavily she came over.
"Hey there my favorite daughter."
Rory looked up from some sort of magazine.She smiled."Hey mom.I got your message.Whats up?"
Lorelai looked to the floor cursing the lack of time she had to find a way to breech the subject.
"Promise you wont get mad at me." Lorelai started,much as she had two weeks before in the inns kitchen.Rory laughed.
"What could you have done to make me mad ?"
Lorelai bit her lip."I am pregnant." she lowered her head,but her head snapped up at Rorys squeal.
"Really,I am getting a sibling?" Lorelai nodded"This is awesome."
Lorelai let a small smile come onto her lips.
"What did Jack say ?" Rory asked calming down.
"Hes long gone." Lorelai said dismissively.
"Oh mom,I can come home when the baby is born,I ll help."
Lorelai smiled at her daughters enthusiasm to help with the baby.
Stumbling gracefully into the diner Lorelai took a seat at the counter,letting her head hit the cool surface.
"Do not do that its unsanitary." Luke barked from the back as he appeared.
"Hey Luke." Lorelai responded,ignoring his comment but lifting her head.The diner was pretty much empty,she was the only one there,it was nine pm after all.
"Coffee ?" Luke asked.
"No thanks."
Luke gave her a weird look but let it pass.
"How is the inn ?" Luke asked trying to make some small talk as he filled the salt shakers.
"It is the inn." Lorelai responded,slightly distracted by her thoughts.
"Thats good."
"Mmm." Lorelai mumbled softly.
"Are you okay ?" he asked setting down a shaker-chancing another blowup.
Her gaze snapped up and met his,and for some reason she couldnt bring herself to say she was.
"No." she whispered her head hung low.And just like that Luke was at her side,sitting next her on the stool.
"Come on Lorelai tell me what is going on."
Lorelai raised her blue eyes to lock with his indigo eyes and a tear slipped down her cheek.
"I cant be strong anymore Luke." The words slipped softly from her lips.
Luke stayed silent,urging her on with a piercing gaze.
"I thought I could,but I cant." she continued."He ran Luke,"her eyes shimmering with tears.
"Who ran Lorelai ?" he asked,voice soft but firm.
"When he found out he ran,what did I do to disserve this Luke ?" she asked,a slight tremor in her voice.
Lukes brow furrowed and again he was silent.
"Im pregnant Luke." her voice wavering.
Luke was slightly shocked he gulped.She leaned over into Luke,because right now all she needed was comfort,he gladly held her softly,whispering silent calming words as she her back softly,he was suddenly angry-not at her,but at the ass that had did this to her and ran-he almost saw red,but he maintained his cool.
"Come on." he said gently,she followed as he led her up to his apartment.He sat on the couch and she right beside him.Buring her head in his shoulder she sobbed softly,losing control.
"Shhh." he murmured ,his chin resting upon her head,jaw clenched.
"I cant do it." she whimpered into his flannel.
"Yes you can." his voice was firm,and surprisingly to Lorelai it sounded like he believed she could.Her sobs slowed,but still she stayed in the crook of his shoulder,sniffling lightly.
A few moments later she pushed herself into a full sitting position."Im sorry Luke." she gave a shaky laugh,wiping the mascara from her face.
"Its okay." he said sympathetically.She gave him another weak smile.Shaking her head softly she got up off the couch.
"I should go." she said,her voice almost regretful.
"You can stay." he said,maybe a bit to enthusiastically."I mean,I dont think you should not be going out-driving or walking-when you are this upset."
Lorelai seemed to give this some thought and nodded.
"Ill sleep on the couch." Luke offered.Lorelai scoffed.
"You have a queen sized bed Luke.We can both take it.I swear I dont bite." she said,a bit of her usual spark back in her eye.
Luke looked slightly uncomfortable but nodded.Getting up,Luke heads to his closet and pulls out a old pair of sweat pants he had not worn in ages and a old flannel.
"Here." he says as he hands them to her.She looks at him gratefully before going to change.Luke slips into his pajamas and waits for Lorelai to emerge from the bathroom.
Twenty minutes later they are both lying on the bed,facing the ceiling,bathed in darkness.They are a safe five inches or more apart,but still they can feel the presence of the other.Both think the other is already asleep.Yet Luke is still seething over the Jack fellow while Lorelai is just trying to keep calm,she did not need another meltdown tonight.Finally,the silence lulled both of them to a restless slumber.
