A/N- Hey guys, I'm so sorry I took so long to update! I was so busy the last couple of days. But the chapters here now, so please review!
Disclaimer- I don't own it.
Rory looked around her room sleepily. For a second she forgot where she was, and what had happened, but then it all came back to her in a flash. Her mom and Luke had spent last night with her, watching classic movies and cursing Chris. It was amazing, to see her parents together again. Wait… Rory thought. Did I just refer to Luke as my father? She smiled. He was her father. Maybe not by blood, or maybe not by technicalities, but he was her father. He was always there for her, in a way that only fathers could be. Chris may have been her father by blood, but that didn't count. Not at all. Luke was the one that bought her presents year after year, the one that never forgot her birthday, not even once. She would have been lucky to simply get a card from Chris. He broke her heart, he broke her mom's heart. He came back, then he left, then he came back, then he left again. She knew the cycle. Luke was a constant. Yes, her mom and him had some difficulties. They broke up, they made up. But they were meant to be with each other. In a way, Chris leaving was better for their relationship. It wasn't the best for her heart, but she could get over it. It would take more than just a night of junk food and her parents being there for her, but she would get better. Rory took a deep breath and got out of bed, smiling. After her shower, she walked into the kitchen where her mom was.
"Hey babe." Lorelai poured her a cup of coffee.
"Hey, Mom. Thanks."
"No problem. So, are you okay?"
"I'm okay, or I will be." Rory smiled almost bitterly. "We're better off without him, we survived many years before Chris. The Gilmore's are survivors! Plus we have Luke."
"We do have Luke, an added bonus."
She grinned again. The doorbell rang. Lorelai jumped up. "I'll get it."
"Okay." Rory walked over to the toaster and put some Pop Tarts in.
Lorelai answered the door. Lane stood at the other side. "Lane! What's up?"
"Hi, Lorelai… Zach and I had a fight, can I, uh, come in?"
"Sure, sure! Rory's in the kitchen, if you want to talk to her."
"Okay, thanks." Lane looked a little teary as she walked away.
"Rory, hi."
Rory swallowed. "Lane, hi! What are you doing here?"
"Zach and I had a fight, we fight about everything! God, about my eating habits, about the babies, about my mom, just everything!" Lane grabbed a Snickers out of her pocket and shoved it into her mouth, dropping the wrapper onto the ground and spraying crumbs everywhere. She began to talk again with her mouth full. "I mean, it's my body. Not his! I mean, I'm carrying his babies, but that doesn't mean that I'm some kind of delicate little creature that needs to be watched over every single second of every single day! It's all "Lane, roll over into your other side, it helps the babies. Lane, eat some tofu, the babies love that. Lane, don't you dare hold a napkin, it could have germs on it and it's far too heavy!"
Rory laughed. "Lane, I'm sure you're exaggerating just a little."
"Maybe about the napkin thing, but the rest, Rory, the rest, I'm so not kidding about the rest."
Lorelai walked in. "Isn't it kind of cute that he's worried? I mean, at least he is worried. He could just be acting completely normal and like nothing's up. And that would be wrong, and really weird, too, Zach's not really that kind of person…" She trailed off and went into deep thought.
Lane snapped her fingers in font of her face. "Focus, Lorelai, focus. He's driving me insane!!!!!! Completely insane!" She shoved yet another Snickers into her mouth.
"Jeez, where are you getting these Snickers?"
"Rory! That doesn't matter!"
"Yes it does, I can never seem to find them in Doosey's."
"I don't get them at Doosey's, I get them in that place, where you get the candy…"
"Ohh, I should have known."
Lane glared. "Sarcasm? You're being sarcastic when I'm facing a crisis here!"
"Lane." Lorelai laughed. "Take a deep breath, and calm down a little. You can stay here tonight, if you'd like. Maybe you could go take a nap?"
"Oh, sure get rid of the crazy pregnant lady!"
"Lane, you're not crazy. I'm just saying, it's very early and you're stressed. Very stressed. Very very stressed."
"Okay. Fine. I'll go lie down. But only because I can finally get some sleep without a crazy man telling me to roll over to my non-comfortable position!"
Lane waddled out and up the stairs, heading to Lorelai's room.
Lorelai called after her, "Lane, sweetie, it's uncomfort- never mind."
Rory waited until she was sure Lane was upstairs, and then mouthed to Lorelai. "She IS crazy!!"
Lorelai nodded. "I know. I know."
"How long do you think she'll stay?"
"Oh, I bet she'll go back to Zach by the time lunch comes around."
"Okay."
Rory glanced upstairs. "You wanna go to Luke's?"
Lorelai jumped up. "Yes, quickly and quietly."
She nodded. "Got it."
They finally arrived at Luke's, panting and complaining. Luke looked up when they came in.
"Why are you tired?"
Lorelai glared. "You so don't want to know." She opened her mouth to speak again.
"But you're going to tell anyway."
"What?"
"Nothing, go on."
Lorelai stared at him for a moment, and then went on. "As I was saying, we have a crazy pregnant lady at our house. Completely crazy! We had to sneak out, and we went to the car, and we realized that one, it was out of gas, but more importantly, she would be able to hear it and wake up. So we had to screw the quickly, and keep the quietly, and run here."
"Screw the what? Wait, you ran here?! In heels?"
Rory had already sat down. "In heels. You should be lucky that they don't make heels for men."
"They do."
Lorelai stared at Luke again. "You know what? I'm not even going to ask."
"Okay. What would you like to eat?"
"Coffee."
"And more coffee."
Luke just shook his head and went to get mugs. "Crazy people."
Lorelai gasped. "We're not crazy, Lane's crazy! Tell him, Rory!"
"I think you're crazy."
"I am not crazy!"
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not!"
"Yes you are."
"No, I'm not."
"Fine. I give up."
"You better."
Rory mumbled under her breath. "Crazy."
A/N 2- So the idea about Lane was Hadar's idea. AKA stuffoholic on this site. So… please review!
