She couldn't stand being in that house any longer. She had to get out. She had to be among people.

"I see you're out and about Mrs. Danes." Taylor called as Lorelai made her way towards the diner.

"I can't stand being cooped up in that house any longer." She smiled and waved. "See you later Taylor."

The bell rang as Lorelai made her way into her husband's establishment. "Hey Caesar, cup of coffee please." She took a seat at the counter.

"Thanks," She said as Caesar sat the coffee in front of her. "Hey where is Luke?"

"Oh um," Caesar started. "I think he's upstairs."

"Oh okay, thanks Caesar."

Lorelai sighed and sipped on her coffee. All of a sudden she felt a hand on her stomach, she looked up to see Kirk.

"Kirk!" She exclaimed. "What do you think you are doing?"

"Feeling for a kick."

"You're going to feel a kick if you don't get your hand off my wife's stomach." Luke called as he came around the counter.

Kirk instantly took his hand off Lorelai and ran out the door.

"I swear this town is a mental institution."

"A sweet mental institution." Lorelai replied sipping her coffee.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you on bed rest?"

"Yes, but I can't stay in that house any longer. I feel like the walls are coming in on me."

"You definitely fit in here." Luke mumbled.

"Hey!" Lorelai exclaimed. "I'm carrying your baby."

"Kidding."

Lorelai rolled her eyes and took a sip of her coffee. "I want this baby out of me."

"Well he will in about," Luke turned and looked at the calendar hanging up on his wall. "One month and 3 days."

"Uuugghh!" Lorelai groaned laying her head down on the counter. "I want him out now!"

"Food?"

"Please."

"Burger?"

"And fries."

"Coming up."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The sound of a phone ringing bellowed in the empty diner. Luke picked it up on the second ring.

"Hello."

"Luke, it's Sookie." Sookie whispered from the other end.

"Hey Sookie. You need an order?"

"No. Listen. Rory and I are throwing a surprise baby shower for Lorelai on the 31st." Sookie whispered looking into her living room where Lorelai sat playing with Martha.

"Oh well that's nice."

"Yea, but I needed to ask a favor."

"What is it?" Luke asked leaning up against the counter.

"Could I borrow some pictures."

"Which pictures?"

"Baby photos, wedding pics, just family stuff."

"Oh yea, of course." Luke said running his hand through his hair. "Uumm, Lorelai will be at the diner for dinner, so if you want to get them then."

"Oh that's great," Sookie squealed.

"They're in the hall closet. Just get whatever you need."

"Okay. Thanks Luke."

"Welcome Sookie. See ya later."

Sookie hung up the phone and headed back in the living room.

"You're a natural."

Lorelai looked up. "Huh?"

"With kids. You're a natural." Sookie said sitting in the lounge chair.

"Oh I don't know it's been so long." Lorelai sighed as she let Martha go. "I'm kinda nervous."

"Why?"

"Well I haven't raised a kid in 23 years, and Luke has never raised a kid, and I'm just nervous."

"Oh honey you'll do wonderful!" Sookie smiled. "I know. I've seen you with my kids."

"I hope so." Lorelai sighed. "I really hope so."

July 30

"Sssshh." Rory shushed. "Be quiet, or she'll here us."

"No one can here us." Mia said.

"Mom can. She has ears like cats."

"It sure is dark." April whispered.

"That's so we can get in here without her seeing us." Sookie said.

"What is she doing here anyways?" Rory asked.

"Oh, Luke said that she was coming by the inn to pick up something from her office."

"Well couldn't he have stopped her?" Mia asked.

"He tried, but she just had to come get whatever it was she wanted."

"Oh my." Mia said shaking her head.

They listened until they heard the front door slam and the sound of a car start up and drive off.

"Finally!" Miss Patty let out. "I didn't think she would ever leave."

"Now we can set up." Rory said grabbing a banner. "Grab those there April and bring them over here."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

July 31….Morning

No alarm was heard in the Dane's house. Not one sound was heard, except the faint snores of Luke Danes.

Lorelai rolled over and opened her eyes to find it 8:07. She yawned and stretched her arms.

"Luke," She whispered sitting up. "You're late for work."

"Huh?" Luke asked groggily rolling over.

"Work. You're late."

"No I'm not. I'm not going in."

"What? Why not?" Lorelai asked looking down at her husband.

"Well I was going to see if maybe you wouldn't care spending the day at the inn. I wanted to go visit your dad at work and have some lunch with him."

"My dad?"Lorelai asked eyebrows raised.

"Yea."

"Why?"

"Cause I need to be on good terms with him."

"Why?"

"Because he is my wife's father. My father-in-law."

"So."

"Lorelai." Luke said in a serious tone.

"Luke." Lorelai mocked.

"Go take a bath, I'm dropping you off at the inn at 10:00." Luke said getting up and heading downstairs.

"Uuugghhh." Lorelai yelled falling back on the bed. "You're a meany!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Gravel flew as Luke pulled up to the inn. He stopped the car, got out and went around and opened Lorelai's door.

"Don't try to be nice." Lorelai said.

"Oh Lorelai."

"Don't oh Lorelai me." She said walking up the steps of the inn, Luke following right behind her. "I wanted to be with you today, but no you want to go see my father and have a Brokeback mountain fling."

"Lorelai!"

Lorelai opened the door on the inn and the sound of screaming was heard.

"SURPRISE!" Everyone screamed.

"Aw!" Lorelai smiled starting to cry. "You guys!"

Luke smiled. "Bye babe."

Lorelai turned around with tears in her eyes. She grabbed Luke into a hug. "I love you Luke Danes."

"I love you Lorelai Danes." Luke smiled kissing her cheek. "I'll see you later."

Lorelai let go of Luke and turned back to the party.

Rory ran up to her mom with a blue sash. "I now crown you "New Mommy"." Rory gave Lorelai a hug. "Love ya mom." She whispered.

"Love you too kid."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Lorelai sat in a blue lounge chair with gifts all around her.

"Now this isn't really a baby shower gift but, well just open it." Mia said handing it to Lorelai.

Lorelai looked down at the package confused. She tore off the ribbon and opened the box. "Oh my!" Lorelai exclaimed as she pulled out a blue silky number.

"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Luke is going to tear that off of you so quick there will be nothing left of it!" Miss Patty squealed.

Lorelai's cheeks turned red. "Thank you Mia. This will come to good use."

"Oh yuck!" Rory and April exclaimed together. Everyone laughed.

"And this is from me Lorelai." Emily said handing Lorelai a blue gift.

Lorelai pulled it open and pulled out a beautiful blue and white striped outfit. "Aww mom. The baby will look so cute in this." Lorelai pulled it up to show the crowd. As she did, she noticed a white envelope at the bottom of the package. She handed the outfit to Rory who put it with the other hundred outfits. Lorelai picked the envelope up and opened it. Inside was a letter. She slowly read it.

Today Lorelai is your 39th birthday and in a few short weeks you will be married. I have always dreamed of the day when you would get married. I had hoped that your life would have turned out perfect, and even though I have disagreed with your choices in life, I have come to realize that you always knew best. As a mother I had always wanted to be right. To know what was best for you, and to let you not have to struggle. But as you have told me repeatedly over the 39 years you have been in this world, it's your life. Even though I haven't agreed with you, I know that your marriage to Luke is one that is meant to be, no matter what I try to do to make it not happen. You are getting married Lorelai and shortly after you will be bringing a wonderful baby into this world. I hope that this time you will let me be apart of not only your life, but your child's life. I love you Lorelai. Enjoy your little gift, because, as you know, they soon are grown up and gone.

P.S. Enclosed are two tickets. Take them and use them……..please.

By the end of the letter tears were pouring down Lorelai's face. She looked up at her mother.

"I love you." Lorelai mouthed and smiled through her tears. Then a streak of pain etched across her face. "Rory."

"Yea mom?" Rory said laughing at a joke Lane had just told.

"Uh…I think I'm going into labor"

a/n: I know cliff hanger!!! Hehehe Lol! Yea this chapter well the end of it, was one of my favorites to write. I hope ya'll enjoyed it just as much as I did! Also the reason the letter says that it's her birthday, was because that was when Emily wrote it, but she just gave it to her now. Okay just incase ya'll got confused. REVIEW Oh and inputs on names?????????? Think BOY!!! I kinda have an idea, but I could still use inputs. Thanks!

Lorelai: Ooh, yes, I hope I'm not pregnant.

Taylor: What?
