"Pregnant…?" Emily slowly repeated.
"Yeah," Lorelai said just as slowly.
The room was agonizingly quiet. Rory was looking back and fourth between her grandparents and Luke and Lorelai, it was a four way-starring contest and none of their reactions were visible.
"What does this mean for your wedding?" Emily asked breaking the silence.
"Um, well, we don't know yet" Lorelai said looking at Luke for help.
"We're still getting married" Luke confirmed.
"Well of course you're still getting married, do you think we would let Lorelai have another child out of wedlock?" Emily said.
"Well no… but," Luke answered, even if it was a rhetorical question.
"…But Mom, we don't think we're getting married before… it… is born" Lorelai said, pointing at her stomach when she said 'it'.
"Why not?" Emily snapped back.
"Well Mom, the baby will be coming in nine months, and I don't think we can plan a wedding in less than four months" Lorelai said and Luke nodded in agreement. Emily looked outraged.
"Of course not in four months, we'll have the wedding in eight months, that gives you plenty of time afterwards to have it." Emily said.
"Mrs. Gilmore, Lorelai and I briefly spoke about it and Lorelai said she doesn't want to have a big stomach for the wedding" Luke said politely.
Richard, who had been silent since the announcement spoke up, "Then we will have the wedding in two months, Lorelai will be showing, but not too much. Emily and I will help with the planning because it is such short notice"
"What about the snow?" Rory asked looking over to Lorelai.
"Yeah, we really wanted to have snow for our wedding" Lorelai said.
"That is absurd, you want to have an outdoor wedding in the middle of winter? There is no way, this way, you can have a proper wedding where people don't have to be wearing winter jackets" Emily said.
Lorelai rolled her neck. There is no way she was going to win this. "Mom, Dad, I know you guys want to help, but wouldn't it be easier if we just wait until the baby is born and then have the wedding?"
"Of course not, then you will have a baby and you'll be pre occupied, we are going to have the wedding in two months… that makes it July." Emily said.
Lorelai sighed. "…But… you know what? We'll just pick a date and get back to you" Lorelai said giving in.
"Good, now let's go eat"
For the first five minutes home the ride was quiet, that is until Lorelai spoke.
"You know what really bugs me?" Lorelai asked to no one in particular, "They didn't even say congratulations, or anything about the baby"
Luke noticed Lorelai was upset and placed a reissuing hand on her knee.
"It just took them by surprise, I'm sure they'll say congrats later" Luke said.
"Yeah" Lorelai said not convinced.
The rest of the ride back to Stars Hollow was silent.
Short I know, but I'll write more later… please review!
