A little while later Rory and Lorelai were sitting in a coffee shop both drinking coffee. Rory decided she would let her mom have it and not fight her on it seeing as her mom was in a bad mood.
They both sat in silence. Rory decided it was time to open up the subject of what happened. "Mom, what happened? Why did you and Luke have a fight?"
"He called me fat."
"Uh, that jerk!"
"I know."
"Well I'm sure he didn't mean it and wants to apologize. Let's go back home so he can, and if he doesn't I will personally kick his butt."
"He already apologized," Lorelai said looking away, chewing her lip.
"Then what is the real problem, mom."
"Nothing."
"Mom"
"It's silly."
"Obviously it isn't a clown at a circus kind of silly. So tell me. What is it?"
"You're wrong it is a clown at a circus because those clowns are actually downright terrifying."
"So what is the problem? I thought you guys had worked out the kinks?"
"When Luke called me fat, well not really called me fat, it kind of struck me that I'm pregnant."
"But you are pregnant and you've known that for awhile now."
"I know. But it struck me like "wow I'm going to have a baby. A real live talking, burping, pooping, gurgling baby." And I'm scared, Rory. I'm scared."
"Well I think the talking thing takes awhile to learn."
"Unless it's a mutant baby. Oh no, what if it has two heads like Luke said. Oh god."
"It won't have two heads."
"How do you know that? Are you psychic? Do you have x-ray vision so that you can see through my stomach?"
"No."
"Exactly."
"Exactly what?"
"Exactly my point."
"What was your point?"
"um…"
"Mom, seriously. Why are you afraid? You'll be a great mother. You were the best and coolest mom/best friend I could ever ask for. You'll be great, and this time you have help from Luke."
"Thanks, hon."
"Come on. Let's go home. I bet Luke is cooking something amazing. And you two should talk express your concerns to him. He can help you, and you can help him."
"Okay. Let's get out of here. The smell and taste of this coffee is making me nauseous. If there was any doubt that this kid here is Luke's my sudden aversion to coffee would put that doubt to ease."
Lorelai and Rory returned home and were instantly greeted by the aroma of Chicken Parm cooking. The two girls walked into the kitchen.
"Luke, can I talk to you upstairs for a minute?"
"Sure. Rory can you watch this for me?"
"Yeah, go ahead and talk."
Luke followed Lorelai upstairs into their bedroom and closed the door behind him.
Lorelai turned around to face him. "I'm sorry, Luke, that I yelled at you like that. I know you didn't mean it. I was just…I'm scared, Luke."
"Of what?"
"Messing up. When we were arguing it hit me that I'm pregnant. I didn't really realize it before that I'm having a baby, and I don't want to mess up."
"But you'll be a great mother. Just look at what you did with Rory. You'll be fine. And I'm scared too. I've never taken care of a baby or raised someone. I mean I didn't meet April until all of the hard stuff was over."
"You think the hard stuff is over? Just wait until she starts dating."
"What? She's dating? Who? I need a name and a picture so I can hunt him down. I swear if it is that Freddy kid I'm going"
Lorelai laughed, "Woah there, Vesuvius. Calm down before you explode. She'll be okay. And so will you. I can tell you are going to make a great father."
"You think so?"
"Yes."
"I love you," Luke said as he leaned in to kiss her. Their kiss deepened and became more passionate, but Lorelai pulled away.
"Kid in the house. I don't want to scar Rory."
"I think it might be too late. She's lived with you for 21 years. How much more of a scarring experience can there be?"
"Hey!"
"Okay…We'll continue this later."
"Yep. Get it while you can cause soon I'll be too big."
"I love you."
"Love you, too," Lorelai gave him a quick peck and turned around to go back downstairs.
A/N: Okay so I appreciate the positive reviews, but I need negative feedback. I go to a school where they're very into criticism. Oh and I realized I never had them tell the town. Any ideas on that? Thanks.
