Hey guys, it's Inga. I want to apologize profusely for my lack of updates. I have had a way busy summer so far and it's just finally starting to settle down. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
The next morning Luke and Lorelai were sleeping quietly when Luke's alarm went off. He quickly shut it off knowing that if he did Lorelai wouldn't wake. He untangled himself from her limbs and quietly snuck downstairs.
This morning Luke was planning to make his pregnant wife a huge breakfast in bed. She was carrying his baby and for the next nine months, she was his queen. His pregnant queen.
A half an hour later, Luke's magnificent breakfast was done. He slowly ascended the stairs and he heard Lorelai's voice, ''Oh Luke!! I smell bacon, and yummy goodness, and you'd better your ass in here!''
Luke couldn't help but smiled and he was still chuckling when he walked into the bedroom.
"Did you sleep well beautiful?'' he asked.
"Yes, very well. Until I smelled your cooking. Sooo, I turned over, rolled into your pillow, and wanted you even more,'' she smiled. ''So, if you don't mind,'' she patted the bed next to her.
"Ok, I made you pancakes, bacon, eggs, and sorry to break your heart, decaf,'' he said sitting on the bed.
"That's ok. Actually, I don't want any coffee. The thought makes me sick.''
Luke leaned over her stomach and whispered 'god bless you' then gave it a little kiss.
"Hey Luke? Do you want to come to the hospital with me do find out the sex of our baby?'' she asked stoking his hair.
"I thought you had to wait like four months or something?'' he said.
"Yeah I'm just asking,'' she said kind of embarrassed.
"Lorelai, look at me,'' he turned her head, ''you don't have to ask me about anything like that. If you go into labor while I'm in the middle of pouring a cup of coffee, I'll drop it in the customers lap and speed to the hospital. I'll be by your side the whole way.''
As the morning wore on, the food on Lorelai's tray was slowly consumed in between talking and sleeping.
"Luke!'' Lorelai exclaimed, ''I have to call Rory.'' she leapt out of bed and grabbed the phone from the bed stand. She dialed Rory's cell and she soon picked up.
"Mom?''
"Hey babe, guess what?'' she said urgently.
"Wha...''
Lorelai cut her off, ''I'm pregnant!!!''
"No? Are you serious?'' she scream, ''Mom!! I'm so excited!!!!!''
"I know me too. And Luke is SO great. He's going to be the best dad in the world,'' she said climbing onto the bed.
"I'm so happy for you mom. Call me later okay? I love you, and tell Luke I love him too. Bye mom.''
"Bye kid, I love you too.''
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next five months went by relatively quickly. Lorelai had morning sickness the whole time, and Luke held her hair back the whole time. It was now December and a light blanket of snow covered the ground. Lorelai had a scheduled appointment to find of the sex of the baby on the 16th. Luke was, even if not more than Lorelai, excited to finally find out the sex of his baby. He'd been waiting five months for this, and finally the day was here.
"Wow,'' Lorelai said walking into the lobby of the doctor's office, "This is the first time in forever that we're actually on time.''
"It's an important day. I am in awe as well,'' he said sitting her down. ''I'll go check in.''
When he returned he started filling out massive amounts of paperwork until a nurse called their name.
"The Danes'?''
Luke and Lorelai stood up hand in hand and walked back into the examine rooms.
"You guys can have a seat in here,'' she led them into a small light blue room. ''The doctor should be in soon.''
Lorelai went to get on the little bed, until she felt Luke's hands on her waist. He lifted her up and then sat down on the chair across the room.
"Are you excited?'' Lorelai asked shifting on the paper covered bed.
"Yeah, I just hate the smell here,'' he said stubbornly.
Just then, a rather stout woman walked into the room. ''Hello,'' she chimed, ''Lorelai, how are you? This must be Luke,'' she reached out for his hand.
"Yeah, hi,'' Luke stammered.
"Well, today is one of many routine baby check-ups, but today we'll find out what the sex is,'' she smiled.
"Then here we go. Let's take a look shall we?'' she said turning on the ultrasound. Lorelai laid down on the bed and Luke gently pulled up her shirt revealing her round supple belly.
Dr. Maughn rubbed some clear blue gel on her stomach and Lorelai winced at the coolness. Luke situated himself next to Lorelai and he entwined her hand in both of his.
The doctor quickly told them what they should be expecting to see through the monitor and before long, a tiny heart beat appeared on the screen. Lorelai squealed and kissed Luke's hand. Luke couldn't help but smile. Their faces were glowing until another little heart beat appeared on the opposite side of the screen. Lorelai's face turned into shock, as well as Luke's, and her grip tightened.
"If you didn't already notice, there's not only one. It looks like you have yourselves a little boy and a little girl,'' Dr. Maughn said pointing to indicate the genders.
Before either of them had time to pick their jaws off the floor, Dr. Maughn informed them that they were both healthy babies.
"Wow,'' was all that Lorelai could manage to get out.
She glanced around to Luke until he spoke, ''You're gonna be really fat,'' he said straight faced.
''Luke?'' Lorelai gasped.
Luke was still in awe until he realized what he said. ''And you're gonna be sexy as hell,'' he chuckled.
Lorelai was blushing for the rest of the appointment, in which the doctor explained every thing they needed to know concerning twins.
They walked through the parking lot in an awkward silence until Luke breeched the gap. ''So, it looks like I'm gonna have to get another car uh?'' he said.
"Luke?'' Lorelai said grabbing his waist and pulling him to a stop, ''are you mad?''
"What?'' he gapped, ''No, are you crazy? I'm just letting it...''
"Sink in?'' she finished.
"Yeah,'' he said swallowing thickly.
"We're having twins!'' she exclaimed.
Luke sprouted a grin and chuckled, ''Yeah, yeah we are.''
He opened her door for her and the ride back to the Hollow was surprisingly comfortable.
