One week later:

Lorelai's house: living room: late morning:

"Well, we need to figure out when we can have this party, Luke. Otherwise, the other details are completely useless," Lorelai complained to Luke because, in her eyes, he was being difficult about the date of their 'beginning of spring' party.

"What about the Friday two weeks from now?" Luke suggested, although he knew she would just find some crazy reason to deny it, like all of the other days he had suggested.

"I don't want to wait that long, Luke. I don't like having to keep it just between us anymore…it's frustrating!"

"Well the only other day would be this Saturday," Luke reminded her, honestly bored with this party already. He didn't understand why Lorelai's pregnancy had to be announced in a festive way. Couldn't they just tell Patty? The whole town would know within the hour.

"What's wrong with that?"

"Well nothing, except for the fact that today is Wednesday, therefore, Saturday is only three days away…we can't plan a party in three days!"

"Why not? Sookie is providing food, Rory and I can decorate, and somebody just has to tell Patty, and the whole town will know by lunch today," Lorelai explained, starting to get excited already.

"Fine, whatever, do what you want. I have to get to the diner to help Caesar prepare for the lunch rush."

"Kay, bye Hun," Lorelai said, leaning over to give Luke a kiss, which became very passionate within seconds, but Luke pulled back, considering he had to go to work.

"Oh, and don't forget, bring the last couple boxes of your stuff back with you today after work, and you will officially be moved in by tonight!"

"I won't forget. Now I really have to go, or else I might as well fire myself," he said back, laughing. He then grabbed his keys and walked out the door, calling back, "bye crazy lady!"

Lorelai sat on the couch and decided to call Rory. When she didn't answer, she left a message. When Lorelai heard the beep, she started talking. "Hey, Rory, it's me and I'm getting ready to leave for the inn and I just wanted to see what is going on in your life because I haven't heard from you in a couple days. Oh, by the way, the party is this Saturday and I was wondering if you could come and help me decorate before it. Anyway call me back, bye Hun."

After leaving the message, Lorelai got up, grabbed her purse, and decided to walk to the inn, rather than driving.

Lorelai's day at the inn was a normal one. Sookie was paranoid about the meal she made for tonight's dinner, and threw everything out and started over…twice. Michel wouldn't answer the phone, and was his usual annoying self. And, just like every other day, Lorelai was working way too hard.

When she got home around six thirty, Luke was still at the diner, and there were no messages on the answering machine, so Lorelai decided she would go visit Luke at the diner and bug him for an overabundance of coffee.

As she walked into the diner, she saw Luke taking a man's order, so she took a seat at the counter and waited for him to finish. When he came from behind her, and walked around the counter, he smiled and leaned in for a quick kiss.

"Hey, how was your day?" Lorelai asked.

"Fine; and yours?"

"Michel was annoying, Sookie was freaking out; a very normal day."

"Hey, did you drive? I didn't see your car out there," Luke asked randomly.

"No, I walked. Why?" Lorelai answered; a little confused seeing as he usually doesn't care whether she walks or drives.

"You can't be walking all the way here! You're in a delicate state!"

"And what is that delicate state?"

"You know…the one you wanted to have a special party for…" Luke hinted at quietly.

"So, just because I'm pregnant means I can't walk to the diner?" Lorelai asked (a bit too loud, if you asked Luke); a little amused by this. "Luke, you know, you can't confine me to a wheelchair for nine months."

"Oh my God, oh my God!" Patty screamed as she ran out of the diner. Neither Luke nor Lorelai saw her at the counter a few stools down from Lorelai, but Patty, being Patty, had listened to every word the couple shared.

"Did you see her come in?" Lorelai asked Luke with a shocked look on her face.

Before Luke could answer, Babette came running through the diner door yelling Luke and Lorelai's names.

"Oh, jeez…" Luke muttered under his breath as Lorelai sighed and put her head on the counter.

"Well, now you don't have to sit through the party that you didn't want to have in the first place."

Babette took a seat next to Lorelai, and because she was short of breath, waited a few seconds before talking. "Is it true?" she directed at Lorelai.

"Is what true?" Lorelai asked back, playing dumb, when really, both her and Luke knew exactly what she meant.

"Are you pregnant, sugah? Is it true; is it true?" Babette asked frantically.

Lorelai looked at Luke, who shrugged, signaling that Lorelai might as well just tell her before she had a heart attack. Lorelai sighed, and said, "Yes, Babette, I am pregnant."

"Ahh…congratulations, sugah! I have to go tell everybody. I'm so happy for you kids!" Babette called in her raspy voice on her way out the door.

"Well, at least it's out," Luke said trying to cheer Lorelai up because he knew that she had been looking forward to this party. He could see the disappointment in her eyes.

"Yeah, well I better call Rory and Sookie to tell them the party's cancelled," she answered sadly.

Later that night: Gilmore/Danes house:

After they had eaten dinner, Luke decided to let Lorelai pick the movie. As he figured she would, Lorelai chose Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. While she was in the living room setting up the movie, Luke slipped into the kitchen and grabbed the Doose's bag that he had stashed under the sink.

When he returned to the living room, Lorelai was sitting on the couch waiting for him, so she could start the movie. When she saw the bag he was carrying, she looked curious.

"What do ya got there?"

"Well, I know you wanted to have that party," Luke explained as he dumped the contents of the bag out onto the coffee table. "And since Patty spoiled our little surprise, I figured this would cheer you up," he said, gesturing to the junk food on the table.

Lorelai, for once, was completely speechless, so she leaned in for a kiss and deepened it almost immediately. After a few seconds, they both pulled back, breathless. "You did this for me?"

"Yes, and don't get used to it, because for the next nine months, and probably after that, I'm going to use all my power to try to get you to eat healthier, so that our baby doesn't end up with your eating habits."

"Well, I won't make any promises, because junk food has power over me," she told him, lying down in his arms on the couch and starting the movie.

By the end of the movie, both Luke and Lorelai had fallen asleep in each others arms. They had fallen asleep, looking forward to the next day, and the rest of their lives together, knowing it would all be okay.
