Notes:

Hmmm... I'm not sure exactly why I recieved so few reviews for the last chapter. I would have expected more of a reaction... Stay with me here, there is an overall theme forming. And please please review!

Just a 2 comments on last night's episode (I bolded it so don't read if you haven't seen it yet):

I hate Anna. Nothing more to say on that, but I can't imagine a mother being like that. My mom was overprotective but I was April's age when I hung out with my dad's fiance, now my step-mom. My mom just had to trust my dad's judgement, nothing she could do about it. He's my dad and if he thought that my stepmom was someone it was okay for me to be alone with then that was fine. Luke trusts Lorelai the same way . (I can't believe I just compared Luke and Lorelai's relationship to that of my dad and stepmom). But even more so, Anna needs to trust Luke, her whole 'well he's new in April's life thing' should have been followed up by the response, yeah he's only new in her life because you hid his daughter from him for 12 years! Ug. I can understand the reasons for being protective, but not being a hypocrite.

And now for my Lauren Graham comment for the day. Wow. She looked absolutely amazing in that episode. So beautiful in every scene (not that I'm a fan of that shirt she was wearing in the first scene) but still wow. So I'm officially done complaining about her hair and her clothes because man she looked gorgeous.

Sookie's Garage

Lorelai and Rory finished their trip backpacking around Europe. They got home late as they did on the show and worried Babette. The next day they went to pass out the gifts around town and they first went to Sookie's, where they again had the discussion over whether Jackson should know the sex of the baby. Sookie and Lorelai went into the garage where Lorelai found out Sookie's baby is going to be a boy and currently they're sitting in the garage talking as Rory hangs with Jackson in the house pretending to be living in the 1950s.

"So you guys had a good time in Europe?" Sookie asks. Lorelai nods smiling. She glances around at all the things Sookie's bought for the baby. "Did you spend a lot of time thinking about things?" Lorelai glances over at her.

"Things?"

"Yeah things… Luke…" Sookie watches Lorelai's response, but Lorelai keeps her poker face.

"A little," Lorelai says vaguely.

"Well obviously not enough to spoil your time with Rory. You guys seem really happy. And it looks like you really liked the food over there." Lorelai gives her a confused look. "I mean you put on a few pounds, not bad weight. Lorelai, you look healthy, filled out." Lorelai glances down, afraid that she's showing more than she realized. But she's not.

"I am. I feel good." Lorelai half-smiles. "I knew that I would." Sookie giggles. Lorelai bites her lip, knowing she can't keep it in much longer. "Does it really show?" Sookie looks up at Lorelai, rubbing a hand over her belly.

"Does what show, Sweetie?"

"The weight gain, is it really noticeable?" Lorelai worries. Sookie looks concerned, since Lorelai's never really cared that deeply about gaining a few pounds in the past.

"No, but I've known you forever. It's mostly in your face anyways. It looks fine, and you'll lose it in no time knowing you and your crazy insane metabolism. I swear you must have a second stomach on the moon where all the food goes after you eat it so you don't gain weight." Lorelai laughs.

"No, Sook, I'm not worried about losing the weight. I'm just – it's just – " Lorelai makes a face.

"You were trying out for the Miss American pageant next month?"

"I didn't know that was something you could just try out for."

"I don't really know, I guess you have to be Miss Connecticut first," Sookie considers. "Hey, did you know only one Miss Connecticut has won Miss America?" Lorelai shakes her head. "You could be the second," Sookie says brightly, touching Lorelai's knee.

"I'm not sure they let women who got knocked up at 16 enter the competition," Lorelai says. Sookie shrugs. Lorelai looks down, taking a moment to gather her thoughts, her hand moving over her belly. Sookie's not paying attention, staring off into space still thinking about the pagent. "Sookie, the weight thing, I'm pregnant," Lorelai finally admits. Sookie gasps, covering her mouth.

"Oh my God! Really?" Sookie exclaims, a shocked expression on her face. Lorelai blushes.

"Yes, really."

"Really!"

"What is with that word lately?" Lorelai shakes her head in amazement.

"Oh my God, Lorelai! That is so fabulous! I mean you're finally going to have everything, the whole package. And with Luke." Sookie is overcome with emotion. "I'm so happy for you." She watches Lorelai's unsure reaction. "You don't seem to feel the same, is Luke not happy about this?" Lorelai looks down at her hand that's covering her still mostly flat belly.

"I – I haven't told him," Lorelai informs her. Sookie's mouth drops open.

"Why? You want to be with him. He'll definitely pick you over Anna if he knows you're pregnant."

"Yeah, that's why. I don't want him to pick me over Anna just because he got me knocked up. I didn't want that from Chris 18 years ago. I'm not a hypocrite. But unlike Chris, I actually do want to be with Luke. So I want to know if he really wants to be with me before I tell him about the baby," Lorelai explains as she had to Rory. Sookie nods, understanding.

"He'll pick you," Sookie assures Lorelai, touching her knee again. "Of course he'll choose you. He's always wanted to be with you." Lorelai shrugs.

"It's up to him. I gave him the option to choose whomever he wants," Lorelai admits, biting her lower lip nervously.

"It'll be you, I have a feeling about these things."

"You're Miss Cleo now?" Sookie nods. Lorelai grins. "Well, I hope you're right." Lorelai sighs.

"He loves you Lorelai, now all you have to decide is, if you love him," Sookie tells her. Lorelai nods, thinking.

"You know, a few years ago, when Dean told Rory he loved her, I had a talk with Rory. I said that she has to be able to tell someone she loves him, when it's right. And she asked me if I was ready to tell someone that when that moment happens," Lorelai says, distantly, still remembering the conversation word for word. Sookie looks at Lorelai curiously, rubbing a hand over her belly.

"And are you ready?" Sookie asks, when Lorelai doesn't finish. Lorelai stops staring off into space and looks over at Sookie.

"I don't know. I wasn't ready with Max, because I never loved him, I wanted to love him though. I wasn't ready with Christopher, because I never loved him either, and I knew if I did tell him I would be lying."

"But now things are different?" Sookie wonders.

"I don't know," Lorelai admits. She smiles at Sookie, who is feeling the baby kick. "Isn't that a fabulous feeling?"

"It is," Sookie agrees. She grins at Lorelai. "And it won't be long before you feel it from your own Nick or Nora."

"Phoebe or Phoebo," Lorelai adds. Sookie nods. Lorelai stands. "Well I'd better get Rory and head over to Luke's, no more putting this off," Lorelai says tentatively. She helps Sookie into a standing position. "I'm so scared of what he's going to say," Lorelai admits.

"Well don't be," Sookie insists. Lorelai nods. They share a one arm hug. "Okay, well help me close the garage and we'll go get our other halves."
