What If?
a/n: Thanks for all the reviews! Sorry it took me so long to update…I hope it was worth the wait! Luvs!
Jealous and Blue:
--A few more days had past it was December 30.
--Lori and Rory went to the diner for their daily breakfast. Lori felt her phone vibrating.
"Dad?" Lori called, "Do I really have to go outside to use my phone?"
"Yes," Luke called back.
"Ugh!"
--Lori made her way out the door.
"Hello."
"Hey, sweetie," Ray came from the other end.
--Ray had started calling her pet names, she wasn't real comfortable with it, but she let it slide.
"Oh, hey. What's up?" Lori smiled.
"Well, I was gunna see if I could meet you at that diner," Ray offered.
"Oh…Umm…Okay," Lori answered.
--Me and Jess aren't dating. So, this is okay. Isn't it? Lori thought.
"Good. Cuz I see this real beautiful woman on her cell outside," Ray smirked.
"Shut up! Jeez," Lori pulled a Luke.
--Ray pulled into the parking lot.
--He got out of his car and kissed Lori's cheek.
--Jess saw this action thru the window.
"Who's he?" Jess asked Rory.
"That must be Ray," Rory wasn't really sure.
"Are they together?" Jess felt jealously burning in him.
"Not that I know of, but I have to go," Rory got up.
"Bye, Dad!" Luke approached her; Rory kissed his cheek.
--As Rory was walking out of the door; Lori and Ray were walking in.
"Hey, Ray. This is my twin…Rory. Rory, Ray," Lori introduced.
--Rory and Ray shook hands.
--Lori lead Ray to a table, and they sat down.
"What's good here? I figure you've been here before," Ray asked.
"Oh, the pancakes and bacon. Oh, and they have the world's BEST coffee," Lori said dramatically, "Yeah, my step-dad owns this place."
"That's nice," Ray smiled at her.
"He's in the back right now. He's really a great guy."
"What are you gunna get?" Ray changed the subject.
"I already ate, but I can always go for coffee," the words left her mouth as soon as Jess came up to wait on them.
"That's gunna kill you one day," Jess tried not to over react.
"At least I'll die happy," Lori beamed.
--Lori met Jess's eyes. She saw anger, bitterness, sadness and jealously in them. She turned her gaze to Ray as he ordered.
"Will you get me a coffee, Jess?" Lori asked trying to pretend the situation wasn't awkward.
--Jess gave her a disagreeing look.
"Please, Jess!" Lori pouted.
"Whatever."
--Jess walked off.
"Friend of yours?" Ray asked.
"Yeah," Lori answered simply.
"More than a friend?" Ray questioned curiously.
"Used to be," Lori replied, "Can we talk about this later?"
"Sure."
"Who is he?" Jess asked angrily walking behind the counter.
"I have NO idea," Luke answered.
"So, how's the moving going?" Lori asked changing the subject.
"Good. I've almost go everything in the house," Ray answered.
--Luke came with Lori's coffee and Ray's food.
--Lori felt real nauseated. She got up and ran to the bathroom. She went in to the first stall and emptied her stomach.
--When she was leaving Luke met her at the door.
"Are you okay?" Luke asked with concern.
--She looked real pale.
"Daddy, take me home," Lori said as if she were a child.
--Luke wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"Alright, hun," Luke comforted her.
--Lori leaned into him.
"Hang on. I have to tell Ceasar that I'm leaving," Luke let go of her.
"Are you all right?" Ray asked approaching Lori.
"I don't know. I just got real sick to my stomach. I must be getting the flu or something," Lori informed him.
"Oh, I you need anything call me," Ray leaned down and kissed her cheek.
"Thanks."
--Luke grabbed Lori away from Ray and glared at him.
--Luke helped Lori in his truck and took her home.
"Now, I want you to go lay down and get some rest. When I get home I want to know who that guy was," Luke warned.
--Lori nodded and headed into the house.
--Lori went to her room; she dialed her mother's number.
"Mommy," Lori whined.
"What's wrong honey?" Lorelai came from the other end concerned.
"I'm ready to wallow."
"Oh, okay. I'll be home in a few minutes," Lorelai told her.
--Lori cried. All she could see was Jess's cold, angry, jealous eyes.
--Lorelai entered the house about 5 minutes later.
"Lori?" Lorelai called.
--Lori ran down stair and collapsed into her mother's arms.
"It's gunna be okay, hun," Lorelai comforted her, "what happened?"
--Lori pulled away and sat on the couch. Lorelai followed her.
"Me and Rory went to the diner today, like everyday. Except this time Ray showed up. I didn't think anything of it cuz, ya know, me and Jess decided to just be friends. But when Ray came in Jess was all rude and stuff. Then Dad brought us our food," Lori paused, "then I got real sick and ran to the bathroom. I threw up every where."
"Hmm," Lorelai thought for a second, "how long has it been since you and Jess last had sex?"
"What? A couple of months ago. Why?" Lori was confused.
"Come on," Lorelai got up.
"No! Mommy I don't feel good," Lori pouted.
"Fine! I'll be back in a few!" Lorelai walked out of the door.
--She's pregnant! I should've known. She was eating fruit the other day and she hasn't been drinking coffee.
--Lorelai hurried to the store. Once inside she rushed to where she could find the pregnancy test. She picked one up, check out and headed home.
--When she came in the house she found both her daughters on the couch. Rory was rubbing Lori's back as she told her story.
"Lori, come here," Lorelai called.
--Lori got up and walked towards her mother.
"Here," Lorelai shoved the test in her face.
"No!" Lori protested.
"Now!" Lorelai said sternly.
--Lori snatched the test and went up stairs.
--In the bathroom she read the directions. She followed them and waited.
--There's NO way I'm pregnant. We only had sex once…That doesn't happen…Lori thought.
"What's going on?" Rory asked clueless.
"I think she's pregnant," Lorelai answered still in awe.
--Rory nodded but said nothing.
--Lori sat in the bathroom, still in unbelief, waiting.
"I'm gunna go check on her!" Lori heard Rory say.
"Rory," Lori said quietly.
--She turned to look at the pregnancy test…It was BLUE.
"Rory!" She screamed.
--Rory rushed to the bathroom and flung open the door.
"What?" She said trying to catch her breath.
"It's blue," Lori cried.
"Oh, God," Rory let out breathlessly.
--The sisters sat in silence.
"Mom!" Rory called breaking the stillness.
"What is it?" Lorelai hurried up the steps.
--Lorelai appeared in the bathroom door.
"It turned blue. I'm pregnant," Lori was shocked by her own words.
"Did you not use protection?" Lorelai blurted out.
"Yes. Swear," Lori promised thru tears.
--More silence.
"I didn't know you could get pregnant your first time."
"Same thing happened to me, babe," Lorelai wrapped her arms around Lori.
--Lorelai and Rory comforted Lori for a while.
"I have lunch!" They heard Luke yell.
--Lori pulled away from her mother.
"I don't wanna tell him," Lori cried.

Coming up: Lori tells Luke…And goes to Jess, but something has come up…UHOH!
MwAh!
