Telling April…

The next day Lorelai arrived at Luke's late for her lunch date with him and April. "Sorry, Sorry, Sorry I'm late a group of Hungarian tourists arrived and they took Michelle hostage so it took a lot of negotiating to get them to let him go. I should've let them keep him."

"It's okay," Luke said leaning over the counter to give Lorelai a kiss.

"Ew, dad, stop," April said.

"Sorry, April."

"Please just keep the PDAs to a minimum."

"I'll try, sweetie. So is it okay if Lorelai joins us for lunch."

"Yeah sure."

"Okay, so why don't the two of you head up to the apartment. I'll be up shortly with the food."

April and Lorelai walked upstairs to Luke's apartment. An awkward silence hung in the air as they both were at a loss of what to say. Lorelai decides to break the ice first. "So, April, what's your favorite movie?"

"Well, it changes from day to day, but currently my favorite movie is Sixteen Candles."

"I love that movie!"

"Don't you just love how…" April and Lorelai began talking as though they were best friends. They felt completely comfortable with each other. Lunch progressed and Luke was about to start cleaning up and Anna was about to arrive. Luke and Lorelai decided it was time to give her the news.

"April, there is something Lorelai and I want to tell you," he said reaching out to hold Lorelai's hand.

"Okay…" April said curiously.

"It's nothing bad. Actually it's good. Really good news," Lorelai added

"Lorelai and I are having a baby."

"You're pregnant?" April asked Lorelai in disbelief. Lorelai simply nodded with a smile on her face. April jumped up and gave both a hug. "Congratulations, guys!"

Lorelai let out a sigh of relief. "This is going to work out," she thought to herself. The three began cleaning up, but soon Anna arrived and Luke walked April down to the car. He came back up and saw Lorelai's back facing him as she washed dishes. He walked up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"That went well."

"Yeah, it did."

"We have to tell your parents."

"They don't have to know."

"Lorelai"

"They'll just get mad and ruin this for me. I'm so happy; I don't want them to mess that up like they always do."

"It won't be that bad."

"Uh, yeah, it will. You want to know the look on their face when I told them I was pregnant last time. They looked so small. Then the disappointment and anger kicked in. It's going to be bad."

"But you're not 16 this time. And I will never leave you."

"Okay, tomorrow we'll go over. My dad is taking the day off so we can tell both at the same time. Yippee," Lorelai said sarcastically.

Telling the parents…

"You ready," Lorelai asked as they stood outside the Gilmore's massive home

"No," Luke replied. "You ready?"

"No." Luke reached over and grabbed Lorelai's hand reassuringly. "Let's go," Lorelai said as she rung the doorbell.

Luke and Lorelai were greeted by the maid and escorted into the living room, before they had lunch. Emily and Richard made polite small talk. As they left the living room Lorelai whispered to Luke, "is it just me or are my parents being exceptionally polite and pleasant today. "

"I don't know. Let's just hope it stays that way."

"But it's Emily and Richard Gilmore. It won't"

"Who knows maybe they are finally starting to accept us together."

"Who knows?"

Lunch preceded just the same as it had been before. When everyone was about to finish up Lorelai looked across the table at Luke and gave him the look to start sharing their news.

Luke cleared his throat. "So, Lorelai and I came here to share some news with you," Luke said as he nodded to Lorelai to finish.

Lorelai took a deep breath in. "Mom, dad,… I'm pregnant."

"What?" Emily asked in disbelief.

"I'm pregnant."

"What?" Richard asked with a look of shock on his face.

"…She's pregnant…We're having a baby," Luke added for Lorelai.

Finally Richard broke the silence. "Congratulations, the both of you. You'll be amazing parents."

Emily seemed to have finally comprehended what was going on as she said, "Congratulations. I think we still have that nice antique crib that was yours when you were a baby upstairs in the attic. Would you like to see it?"

"uh, y-yes…that would be good," Lorelai stuttered as she was shocked that her parents were so accepting of this.

"Richard, come help me look for it."

The two elder Gilmores left the table and looked for the crib. As soon as they were out of earshot Richard turned to Emily with a huge smile on his face. "We're going to be grandparents."

"Again!"

**About two weeks later**

Luke and Lorelai have been enjoying the past couple weeks carefree and giddy. They've been acting like a newly engaged couple head over heels in love with each other. They had spent the day walking around town enjoying each other's company. They sat down on a bench in the park and started kissing. Soon they found they wanted to continue this further so they headed home. They now lay in bed together.

"You're amazing…" Lorelai said as she drew circles in Luke's palm.

"I love you."

"I love you, too" Lorelai said reaching up to kiss him. She put her head down on his chest, but then she heard a car pulling up in the driveway. She got up and walked to the window, wrapping the sheet around her. "Oh shoot, it's Rory."

Luke and Lorelai quickly started to put their discarded clothes on. Lorelai threw her top on and then slipped into her jeans. She struggled to get the buttons closed.

"Having trouble there?" Luke said with a smirk.

"No, these just shrunk in the wash." Lorelai sighed in defeat. "Yeah these are some of my biggest clothes and they're getting small."

"Hey, you should go to the mall tomorrow and get some bigger clothes. You're going to need them."

"Are you calling me fat?" Lorelai said as her mood suddenly changed. She walked over to her dresser to look for some other clothes.

"No, I'm not saying that you're fat. You're just going to get bigger anyway."

"You jerk." Lorelai screamed as she stormed out of the room down the stairs.

Rory walked in and Lorelai grabbed her arm and dragged her back outside the house. Rory turned to Luke. "What did you do?"

"Nothing," Luke said. Rory didn't get to hear the rest of Luke's explanation as the door shut behind her and her mother was guiding her to the car.
