A Gilmore-Danes Christmas

Dec 26, 2005 21:23

[ooc: technically this happened 12/24-12/25, but due to RL stuff, it's being posted now. Live with it.]

Having retrieved her car earlier that week, Rory made the drive to Luke and Lorelai's new house on the mainland midafternoon on Christmas Eve.

She bounced up to the front door, staring at the house itself, and rang the bell with presents in

family, luke, bucky, holiday, lorelai

Lorelai opened the door and swept her daughter into a gigantic hug.

"Hey, kid! Merry Christmas! I'm so happy you made it!"

Rory set her gifts and bag down to return the hug.

"Of course! Like I would miss Christmas with you guys. Oh, and I brought presents."

She pointed to a few small rectangles and a larger flat square. "Those are for you."

"Thanks sweetie," Lorelai said, taking the packages and setting them under the tree.

"Let me take your coat. Do you want anything to drink? Luke's in the kitchen, cooking up a storm, of course."

Lorelai may have looked a tiny bit nervous as she took Rory's coat and hung it in the hall closet.

"Um, coffee," Rory nodded. She tilted her head worriedly at her mother. "Are you okay?"

Lorelai smiled at Rory. "It's good news. At least, we think so," she said with a glance at Luke.

As Luke and Rory sat down, Lorelai grabbed a small box from under the tree and handed it to Rory.

"Open this," she said, a nervous smile on her face as she sat next to Luke and grabbed his hand.

Rory opened the box and frowned in confusion.

"Um. Okay...." she started, confused.

She looked down at the shirt, then back up and Luke and Lorelai. She repeated this action, a small smile forming on her face. "You mean, you guys...really?"

Lorelai nodded. "Yeah, we just found out a couple weeks ago," she said. "The baby will be here in the beginning of July." She watched Rory's face carefully for her reaction.

Rory stared, openmouthed.

She finally blinked, closed her mouth, and grinned. "That's - I'm so happy for you. You're," she counted quickly, "three months along? Do you know if it's a boy or a girl, yet?"

Lorelai watched Luke leave and then leaned forward to her daughter.

"Rory, what do you mean, he could get in trouble if people knew? Secrets are not a good way to start a relationship."

"I know," Rory said, rubbing her forehead. "I have no idea what's going to happen with it, as far as that goes."

Rory chose her words carefully. "Part of his culture dictates that he can't have attachments. And it would risk everything he's worked for if people knew."

msgilmoredanes December 27 2005, 04:59:23 UTC

After a moment to carefully consider her words, Lorelai asked, "Do you feel like you're attached to him already?"

auroryborealis December 27 2005, 05:02:47 UTC

Rory shrugged. "He was a good friend first. He, um...he was at my birthday party. You might've actually met him." She frowned. "But he's not allowed to...love, really. And while, yeah, we're not there yet, him having a girlfriend or anything is forbidden."
