Hey guys, it's Inga. This chapter is just continuing right after chapter 1. I hope you guys enjoy! Please review!
Lorelai and Luke were driving to Rory's house when Luke suggested that maybe they give her a call before just stopping by.
''Ok, fine, I know she'll be there,'' Lorelai said matter-of-factly.
"I know she'll be there, but just in case. You know?'' he asked.
She dialed a familiar number and soon Rory picked up.
"Hello?''
"Hey kid, what's going on?'' Lorelai was weary of the noise in the background.
"Not much mom, Colin and Finn are here throwing a Life and Death Brigade party. They're planning their next big stunt but they're having some problems coming up with ideas because Logan's not here... so I'm pitching in.''
"Oh,'' her voice fell, ''So you're pretty busy yeah?''
"Pretty much, why?"
"No reason. Just checking things out. I'll let you get back to your party,'' she said hiding the disappointment.
"Ok, Iove you mom. Talk to you later.''
"I love you to babe. Bah bye,'' she hung up her phone and turned to Luke, ''Ok, you were right mister smarty-pants, she's having some sort of party... so do you just wanna go to lunch?''
He put his hand on her knee, ''Yes, and if you want I'll even take you shopping.''
Her eyes lit up and she agreed to go shopping.
The rest of their afternoon was fairly quiet, but relaxing nonetheless. It was around seven o'clock when they started to leave Hartford and by eight thirty, they were pulling into the driveway.
"I'm just saying that maybe you should take your jeep into the shop to have that bumper looked at,'' Luke said walking into the house. He had noticed it on the way in and decided to mention it to Lorelai.
"No, it's just fine. I like it the way it is,'' she shot back.
"You are your mothers daughter,'' he replied going to put his hands on her waist, but she grabbed his wrists.
"Yeah? And what the hell is that supposed to mean?'' she asked him annoyed. She turned and started up the stairs when Luke grabbed her forearm.
"Lorelai?'' he said.
"No, Luke. Don't Lorelai me. If I'm so damn stubborn,'' she waved her hands, ''then maybe you can sleep on the couch.''
As she ascended, the stairs all Luke could think was 'what did I do?'
Lorelai reached her bedroom and flopped down on the bed. She rubbed her temples and thought of how nice it would be to get some sleep. Her thought was quickly shot down by the empty space that would accompany her all through the night.
She changed into a pair of shorts and one of Luke's t-shirts. She laid down in bed, but couldn't sleep. She felt guilty for barking at Luke for no reason. She knew she had to fix things.
She started down the stairs and found Luke lying with his hand over his forehead.
She could tell that he was not asleep so she called out his name, "Luke?" he didn't move or respond in anyway. ''Look, Luke. I know you're not asleep, and I just came down here to apologize for barking at you,'' she moved to the arm chair across from the couch. ''I know I've been moody lately, and there's a little something I have to tell you. Actually, it's a big something,'' With that Luke whipped around and sat straight up.
"I think I'm pregnant?'' she whispered. Before she even knew what was happening Luke had swept her off her feet- literally. They were both standing, Luke more than Lorelai at this point. He held her about five inches off the ground and pulled her into a tight hug. After quite a long embrace Lorelai pulled back. She held his cheeks in her hands, ''You're not mad?'' she asked him.
"Lorelai...why would I be mad? You're knocked up with my kid, how could I be mad?"
"Ok, when you put it like that,'' Lorelai chuckled. ''So you'll come to bed? I don't even know why you're out here anyway.''
"You know, the bumper, whatever,'' he said waving his hands.
''Right, right... but do you forgive me?'' she said giving him her puppy eyes.
"Yes of course,'' he gave her a kiss on the forehead and spun her around, nearly knocking over the lamp that sat on the side table.
"I love you... I love you... I love you!'' she squealed kissing him.
"I... love you...too.'' he said clearing his throat.
"Why, Lucas Danes. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're crying,'' she said wiping a tear from under his eye.
"I know,'' he said turning his cheek away, ''It's just. I never thought we'd have the whole package, and now we do...'' he said sniffing, ''I'm just so happy.''
Lorelai cupped his cheek and turned him facing her. ''I'm pregnant, and we're going to have the whole package,'' she smiled. ''Now please,'' she drawled, ''let's go to bed.''
