Love will ALWAYS Find a Way.

a/n: Sorry it took so long for the update. Oh, and the title change. Please, R&R! Luvs!

An Old Friend:

--Lorelai and Rory came down stairs.

"Where's Lori?" Luke inquired.

"She's not feeling well. She's in bed," Lorelai kissed Luke's cheek.

"Oh," Luke paused, "Some guy came to the diner with her, and I was wonderin' who it was."

"Hm," Lorelai thought, "You know who it was, Ror?"

"Yeah, it was Ray. She was right about him being hot," Rory winked.

"Oh, really?" Lorelai said lustfully.

"That's not the point," Luke said sternly, "Jess was really hurt."

"Now, he knows how it feels," Rory said abruptly.

--Luke shot her a mean glance.

"Well…" Rory started when she noticed Lori coming in the room.

--Her family turned and stared at her.

"Dad, sit down," Lori said bluntly.

--Luke made his way to the couch and sat down.

--Lorelai and Rory shared an 'Oh, my God!' glance.

"You're gunna figure this out sooner or later," Lori paused to hold back the tears, "I'm pregnant."

--Luke's jaw dropped. He didn't know what to say. He was very disappointed. She knew better than do to something like that. Especially with Jess, he'll just leave her with the kid. Luke thought.

--The girls waited for him to say something.

"Hm," was all he said before he got up.

"Dad," Lori reached for him.

--Luke shook his head and walked out of the room.

--Lori turned wide-eyed towards her mother and sister.

"I'll talk to him," Lorelai walked to the bedroom to find Luke.

"Ya gunna be okay?" Rory asked.

"No," Lori whimpered.

--Lori fell in her sister's arms.

--At the diner, Jess couldn't get the picture of Lori and Ray together out of his head. He went up to his apartment to think.

--He laid in his bed and his thoughts were interrupted by his phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Jess," a familiar voice came from the other end.

"Lauren?" Jess sat up.

--Lauren was his ex-girlfriend from New York. They were really serious (not as serious as him and Lori, but pretty close).

"What's going on?" Jess asked concerned. She only called when something had happened.

"I need you," Lauren sounded desperate.

"Why? What's wrong?" Jess asked again.

"I don't wanna tell you over the phone. Can you come here?" Lauren was close to tears.

"Yeah, sure. I'll be there in a few hours," Jess gave in.

--They hung up.

--Back at the Gilmore-Danes house.

"Luke," Lorelai entered the bedroom and found Luke sitting on the bed with his face in his hands.

--Lorelai went and sat down beside him.

"What was a sposed to say?" Luke inquired exhausted in thought.

"There's really nothing you can say. I mean, screaming and yelling don't make you any less pregnant. Look at me, my parents yelled at me and now I have two gorgeous daughters," Lorelai paused, "Then I met this great guy that gave me a handsome baby boy and two more on the way."

--Lorelai smiled; Luke smirked a bit.

"All we can do is help now, Luke. So help me, if that nephew of yours hurts my baby or my grandbaby. We'll box," Lorelai was serious as a heart attack.

--Luke still couldn't find words to say.

"Come on, Luke," Lorelai put her arm around him, "it could be fun. I mean, at least we can send this one home."

"Lorelai, Lori lives with us," Luke said even though he knew his wife was trying to lightened things.

"Oh, yeah," Lorelai said as if she had suddenly realized this.

--There was silence.

"I have an idea," Lorelai thought a bit longer, "Maybe we could get her and Rory an apartment. I know it may seem wrong, but we're gunna either get rid of them or get a new house with the twins."

--Luke took this idea.

"That could work," he said, "I'll call later this week."

"Good," Lorelai didn't want her daughters not living with her, but ya gotta do whatcha gotta do.

--Lorelai kissed her husband's lips.

--They walked down stairs hand in hand.

"Where's Lori?" Lorelai asked when she noticed only Rory sitting on the couch.

"She went to tell Jess," Rory informed her parents.

"Great," Luke and Lorelai said lamely.

--Lori drove quickly back to the diner.

--She didn't see Jess when she walked in.

"Lane, where's Jess?" Lori questioned out of breath.

--Lane pointed up to the apartment; Lori hurried up there.

--She flung open the door.

"Jeez, ya ever heard of knocking?" Jess said agitated.

"Could you NOT lecture me! I have something really important to tell you!" Lori raised her voice.

"Oh, and what is that?" Jess acted like he would let her explain, but then continued, "Are you here to tell me that you've already found some one else and that you still want to be my friend. What's so damn important? I have to go!"

--Lori was hurt and confused when she saw Jess' bag on the bed. He had begun throwing things in it.

"Wh-Where are you going?" Lori stammered.

"New York. There's someone who actually wants and needs me there!" Jess raged.

"Jess, I need you too," Lori began to cry.

"Whatever. Now, what was so important?" Jess said a bit quieter.

"It doesn't really matter any more," Lori whispered and walked out of the apartment.

--Lori got in her car. She didn't want to go home, she didn't want to go to the bridge…Ray. She wanted to see Ray.

a/n: Sorry it's so short…

Coming up: Lori tells Ray the WHOLE situation…Also, she tells her grandparents.

MwAh!
