Chapter 6: Get Along Together

"Look, I don't really know how to tell you this. I mean, I've been trying to figure out the right way to say this and the build-up and what exactly I should say. I guess there's really nothing to do but just spit it out, so, here goes. I'm pregnant."

Lorelai sat there holding Luke's hands, waiting for some kind of reaction from him. His jaw went slack, his eyes widened but didn't blink, and it seemed as though he'd stopped breathing. After a few minutes, his silence started to scare her.

"Luke? Hey, babe, are you ok?" He remained frozen, still unblinking with his mouth hanging slightly open. "Luke. Hey, you need to breathe. Luke!" She heard him release a heavy breath, and finally caught his gaze. "What's going on in there? What are you thinking? What are you feeling? Please, hon, I need some words here." Her voice went up and her breathing increased as his silence caused her to panic.

"I'm just…uh," he cleared his throat. "Um…uh, I'm…surprised, I guess. I mean…how?"

"Oh come on now Luke, I know you know how."

"Lorelai," he rolled his eyes at her.

"Luke," she said mimicking his tone.

"Be serious. Please."

"Well, you're not giving me much to go on here. I mean, I know this is big. It's huge. But just...what are you thinking?"

"Um…uh, wow."

"Wow?" She stood up now and folded her arms across her chest, watching his face cautiously, trying to read him.

"I'd say 'wow' pretty much sums it all up." He glanced up at her as she started pacing in front of him.

Luke wasn't sure exactly how to say what he was feeling. Of course, he was happy about this, but he was terrified as well. He didn't know anything about taking care of a baby. What if he dropped it, or couldn't figure out how to change a diaper? What if he wasn't a good enough dad? What if he completely screwed everything up? All of the 'what if's' running through his mind quieted down as Lorelai jumped up and started pacing.

"But, is this a bad wow, a good wow, or an oh-my-god-I-suddenly-feel-the-need-to-run-as-far-away-as-possible wow?" She was talking so fast, his generic 'wow' having sent her into full on freak out mode. "What kind of 'wow' are we talking about here?"

Deciding he needed to calm her down, Luke reached out and grabbed her around the waist, causing her to tumble into his lap. Wrapping one arm around her to keep her in place, he gently turned her face and looked into her eyes. He could see that she was confused by his actions, but instead of saying anything, he simply leaned in and caught her lips with his own. As he deepened the kiss, he could feel her finally relax into him, securing her arms around his neck and pressing her body even closer to his. After just a moment, he pulled back and softly ran his hand down her hair.

"It was a great 'wow,'" he whispered soothingly.

"Really?" There was a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Yeah." He nodded, running a hand from the top of her head, across her hair, down her back and then following the same trail again in an attempt to calm them both.

"Good." She leaned in and kissed him, but as she tried to deepen it he pulled back.

"Lorelai, um, did you really think I'd get a sudden urge to take off?"

"No. But you weren't saying anything, you were hardly breathing. Then you just kept saying 'wow' and I really wasn't sure what-" he cut her off with a kiss. When he pulled away, she leaned toward him and rested her forehead against his. "I knew you'd be freaked, but you kind of scared me for a minute there," she said quietly.

"I'm sorry, I was just…"

"I know. I am too." She buried her head in his chest and wrapped both arms around him, as he did the same. After a moment they both loosened the embrace, but remained close. They sat together in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, each lost in their own thoughts.

"So, does Rory already know? Is that why she practically sprinted into the house when she saw me pull up in the truck?" Luke had a few questions running through his mind, and decided he'd start with the easiest.

"Yeah," Lorelai replied. "Actually, she made me go buy the test."

"When…when did you take the test?" he asked. "How long have you known?"

"I just found out today."

"Oh," he nodded. "I was just wondering, because of the whole coffee thing this morning."

"Yeah. You're kid doesn't like coffee that early in the day," she smiled and rolled her eyes at him.

"Smart kid," he was grinning now.

"Huh. Mean kid is more like it, keeping me from my coffee," she attempted a pout, but she couldn't hold it for more than a second as her smile took over her face again. "Anyways, after the coffee almost made me sick this morning, Rory was worried. Of course, I tried to avoid her questioning, but that girl doesn't quit, she's got those journalist instincts."

"Did you know when you came in for lunch?"

"No, I hadn't even gotten a test yet, but we were both pretty sure. That's why she didn't get coffee either, she was trying to throw you off. Didn't want you to get suspicious and start questioning me in the middle of the diner."

"Well, you're known for your craziness, yeah, you turning down coffee had me a little suspicious. When Rory did too, I just assumed you guys were trying to confuse me."

"Well, I'm glad it worked," she shot him a sneaky smirk. "After dinner, we walked back here, and Rory decided that she was taking me to buy a pregnancy test, and said I had no choice in the matter; she wasn't going to let me put it off. We ended up in some random pharmacy somewhere between Stars Hollow and New Haven. We knew I couldn't buy one here, word would've spread so fast. I mean, I'm sure that even if Kirk wasn't working in Doose's, then Miss Patty or Babette would have been in there and witnessed it all. You would have been getting congratulated before I'd even had the chance to take the test."

"Oh geez," he sighed heavily. "The town. They're going to find out and then they're gonna start bugging me. Can we not tell them for a while?"

"Well, we can't hide it from them forever. But I'd really rather not…announce this right away. I mean," she let out a deep breath. "I'm still getting used to this myself. I guess I knew, though, really, before I took the test. I mean, I've just had this feeling, this…weird feeling, for a while now. I wasn't really sure what it was until today. Rory, actually, pieced it all together, made me face the facts."

"Is she…okay with this?"

"Thrilled."

"Me too."

"Good." She pecked him on the lips. "So, I've got a doctor's appointment for this Wednesday, at 1."

"1, huh? I guess I'll pick you up from the Dragonfly at 12:30, does that sound good? Or do you want to come by the diner first for lunch and we could leave from there?"

"You know, you don't have to come with me," Lorelai said. "They'll probably just draw some blood and give me the official results."

He shrugged his shoulders. "It doesn't matter. I want to be there," he explained.

"Ok then, I'll come by for lunch and we can leave from the diner." She stood up, but before he could question her, she grabbed the blanket from the back of the swing. Sitting down next to him, she curled her legs under her and leaned against him, arranging the blanket so they were both covered. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder so she could snuggle into him even more. Her silence confused him, as she usually found things to babble on about all the time. He could tell she was thinking, and, as he had some thoughts of his own to sort through, he decided to just enjoy the silence while it lasted. She would talk when she was ready.

"Hey, Luke. Um, I'm sorry I freaked out on you last night." She sat up to look at him. "I'm sorry I just yelled at you like that and then started walking away and-"

"Hey, no." He noticed tears starting to form in her eyes, and cut her off immediately. "Don't." He paused for a moment, trying to figure out how to say what he was thinking. "Last night…we needed to have that…conversation. I feel so bad, that you were hurting for so long. And I hate that I let the whole situation with April get so out of control. But, we'll be ok. You and me. Lorelai," he spoke her name softly, with reverence. "We're going to be just fine."

She nodded, but quickly looked away as the tears fell from her eyes. He noticed and turned her face back towards him, gently wiping her tears away.

"Ah!" She laughed slightly as her tears continued to fall. "Stupid pregnancy hormones," she paused, before continuing. "You're right, we did need to get all of that out. And, wow, I'm so glad we got things straightened out before I found out about this." She reached her hand down and ran it across her stomach. He took his hand and placed it on top of hers.

"We're having a baby," he said, amazement and tenderness evident in his voice, and a smile playing across his lips.

"Yeah, we are."
