I'm having one of those moments… it happens on occasion, I have suddenly have an urge to just forget my surroundings and devote my self to writing fan fictions… it's weird, if I finish this chapter, and post it by tonight (January 2, 2007) Then this would be the third thing I have posted today. I am going to take full advantage of this random moment, and write you a chapter I hope you will love, but tell me how much you love it, or hate it, in your review please!
It's About Time
Telling The Parents
Luke's knuckles were almost white as he gripped the steering wheel on the way to the Gilmore's house. 'It wont be that bad… maybe… I hope… who am I kidding? Lorelai's pregnant again and this time it's my fault.' Luke thought to himself and looked over at Lorelai who was starring right again, looking like she was ready to take on the world.
"It's going to go just fine," Rory said, sitting on the other side of Lorelai who was in the middle, causing both Lorelai and Luke to come out of their own thoughts.
"I know, we have a plan," Lorelai said.
"Here we go again," Rory said rolling her eyes.
"We're going to go in, the maid is going to ask for our coats, Luke is going to accidentally misplace his wallet," Lorelai started, and used air quotes around the word accidentally, "Then, he is going to go back out into the truck to find his wallet." Lorelai said.
"Why do I need my wallet during dinner?" Luke asked, cutting off Lorelai.
"Do not question me," Lorelai said with a threatening stare. "You're the reason we're in this mess bucko… well so am I partially, but Emily and Richard Gilmore wont see it that way…no sir-e," Luke rolled his eyes and recognized Lorelai was going into full on rant mode, "they'll see it as 'Lorelai once again got pregnant, this time from a guy she just announced she was getting married to… Lorelai, were you pregnant last week? Did you lie to us when you said you weren't? How dare you, for that I am going to… do that thing I do by making you feel incredibly guilty and sad until you are forced to bag for forgiveness making me satisfied." Lorelai said and threw her hands up in the air.
"Wow" Rory chimed in.
"I'm just saying they'll probably realize something is going on when I go out into the truck to get my wallet, when I don't even need my wallet for dinner." Luke said and then adding, "Which might make the dinner harder"
"Fine… fine, you lost your cell phone, okay? You lost your cell phone and you're expecting a call and you need to have your cell phone with you" Lorelai said.
"But they don't let us keep our cell phones on at dinner, and the fact that Luke wanted to keep his cell phone on at dinner may make them dislike him more, which may make the circumstances a bit tougher." Rory added.
"Do you guys have a better plan?" Lorelai asked.
"We could just tell them the truth and wait to see what their reaction is going to be" Luke said, but quickly took back what he said when both Lorelai and Rory were starring at him with a look that asked, 'Are you crazy?' "Never mind" He quickly added, the rest of the way was silent, everyone in their own thoughts about how this evening would turn out.
"Hi" Lorelai said quickly and handed the maid her coat, followed by Rory and Luke. She quickly glanced down at her stomach. "Maybe I shouldn't have worn this top, it looks like I'm showing" Lorelai said.
"Mom you can't be showing, you're only like two weeks-" Rory started but was cut off by Emily Gilmore.
"What can't your mother show?" She asked.
"Uh the Dragonfly…" Rory started.
"Yeah, right the… uh people want to come look at the Dragonfly, but they can't because… well, the uh-" Lorelai started also not knowing what to say.
"Paint is wet" Luke chimed in.
"I didn't know you were painting the Dragonfly" Emily said as they all went into the sitting room.
"Oh I wasn't, but now I am… you know, old paint and stuff" Lorelai said.
"How can it be old paint you just re-painted it last year at the opening?" Emily asked causing all three of the guests to look at each other.
"They didn't paint a wall," Rory added.
"Well that's not very smart, when you paint walls you should paint them all Lorelai, you should really look into the painters and why they didn't paint that one wall" Emily said, apparently buying their story.
"I will, right away Mom"
"What's all this about paint?" Richard asked as he came down the stairs.
"Lorelai's Inn has a wall that they didn't paint" Emily said.
"That's very weird, when you re-do an establishment you should have every wall re-painted" Richard said as he poured drinks at the drink cart.
"I know Dad, I'll get right on that, now can we please change the subject?"
"Okay, what would everyone like to drink?" Richard asked causing more tension in the air for Luke, Rory and Lorelai.
"Soda for me please" Rory said quietly.
"Uh, a beer please, Richard" Luke said.
"And Lorelai?" Richard asked looking at Lorelai.
"Um just a water please" Lorelai said.
"Again? Are you sure you're not sick?" Emily asked.
All the questions… "Well, Mom, I was going to wait until dinner, but I guess I'll tell you guys now… Mom, Dad, I'm pregnant."
I suck I know, but it's getting late, and if I'm going to stay on my stupid study schedule I have to get up early, so please make my day and review:)
MEGGAN.
