Chapter 2- Secrets Revealed

"Luke, we have to tell Rory. After last night she has a right to know."

It was mid-afternoon, the day after they had celebrated Rory's news. Lorelai went over to Luke's to get some lunch and some coffee, and maybe to persuade him to tell Rory their big news.

"Last night was not my idea. It was yours. It's not that I don't want her to know, I just don't want to steal her thunder, Lor. Besides, don't you think she'd be a little bit mad seeing as she just found out we were dating?"

Well duh, she thought. "Maybe a little at first, but I think she would be excited."

"Excited that her twin siblings would only be a month old than her child? I don't think so. I say we wait until they're 18, and then they can tell her."

Typical Luke, Lorelai thought. "I think she would notice my suddenly growing belly, Luke. And the fact that we're married should lessen the blow."

"You haven't told her we eloped yet?!"

Lorelai went pale. She had totally forgotten that she was supposed to tell Rory. She wasn't expecting to see her last night, and in all Rory's news it had just slipped her mind.

"Lor, you seriously didn't tell her?" Luke was then filled with remorse. He hadn't meant to yell at her. He was just upset. Now on top of having to tell Rory that they're having a baby, two babies at that, they have to tell her that they eloped. He had wanted to tell her the night they got married, but Lorelai said they should wait. Now they had waited too long. "How are we supposed to throw all this on her now? The stress can't be good for any of the unborn babies."

"I'm really sorry Luke. I guess I just didn't think about it last night."

"It's okay baby. I know things can't be easy carrying twins."

"Luke would you keep it down? If one person in Stars Hollow knows about it, everybody does."

"Hey I'm in Stars Hollow and I know. Does that mean everyone knows?"

Lorelai had to laugh. Funny how he thinks he's part of everybody in Stars Hollow. "No, because you don't belong in Stars Hollow like the rest of us do. You're unique. Like an orange in a tomato basket."

"An orange in a tomato basket. That's cute, Lor." Where does she come up with these things? Not like it matters. Its part of her charm and the reason I love her, Luke thought"Since when do you belong in Stars Hollow though? I thought you were born for places like New York and Paris." Lorelai giggled. I love it when she giggles. "Since I did something stupid like marry you and have your babies. But that doesn't mean I'm not meant for Paris. I can hear London calling my name."

"I'm sure you can Lor. And you should go. After you give birth to my twins." I can't wait to see my twins. Anything that comes out of Lorelai has to be beautiful. Rory is, and I know these babies are. Luke had begun to gaze at Lorelai without knowing it. He was just so entranced by her."Why are you looking at me like that Luke? You haven't looked at me like that since you told me you loved me." If only you knew how much, Luke thought. "I do love you Lorelai. I always have and always will."

Lorelai smiled. "I know, Luke. And I love you too. Now let's go tell Rory our news." Luke then smiled. "Let's go." Hand in hand they left the diner and headed to Rory's apartment.
