Takes place during season six, immediately following Rory's departure from Yale.

April doesn't exist in this story and Logan was the instigator in the yacht theft not Rory.

A New Beginning

Lorelai was feeling nauseous again ever since Rory had left to live with her grandparents Lorelai had struggled to keep anything down.

She sat on the sofa and sighed as the previous days played back in her mind, the look on Rory's face as she watched her through the pool house window. The happiness she felt when Luke said yes to her proposal and the sadness that followed when she realised she couldn't tell her best friend the happy news.

Lorelai suddenly raced to the bathroom and repeatedly retched into the toilet, nothing appeared her stomach was empty.

Luke appeared behind the door and stooped down towards her, gently stroking her back as he tried to get her to lie down in her bedroom for a while.

"It's okay, I'm okay" Lorelai tried to attest as she shakily stood up and leaned into him.

"Your not, you've been throwing up for days. Maybe you should see a doctor" Luke said as he held Lorelai in his arms.

Luke was growing more concerned each day, Lorelai was rarely sick and it hurt him to see how changed she had become.

She had lost weight in a very short space of time and her face was pale and drawn.

"It's probably just a bug, I'm sure it will pass soon" Lorelai said hopefully,

"If your no better by tomorrow I'm calling a doctor" Luke promised.

Lorelai just sighed and walked to her bedroom to lie down she was getting dizzy again but she wasn't about to tell Luke, she feared he would take her to the emergency room if he knew.

She thought back to the day Martha was born and how she ate the apple, she had worried she was pregnant until her period had arrived.

Lorelai suddenly sat up that period had never really come to much and ever since her tampon box had been gathering dust.

"Oh no" she shouted forgetting Luke was home and could hear her, he rushed into the bedroom shocked by the horror etched on Lorelai's face.

"Lorelai what's wrong",

"I think, I think" Lorelai stumbled along.

"What" Luke shouted,

"I think I'm pregnant" Lorelai finally managed to say.

Luke staggered back bumping into the doorframe, then looking back to Lorelai he smiled.

"I'm going to be a father" he announced still smiling happily,

"Your going to be a daddy and I'm going to be a mommy again" Lorelai spoke softly as she too began to smile.

"Were going to be a family" Luke said as he leaned over to embrace Lorelai,

"I can't wait."
