"Wait, what?" Y/n finally managed to stammer, her eyes wide with shock. "Are you serious?"
Lorelai nodded, her expression a mixture of hope and trepidation. "I didn't know how to tell you, but I couldn't keep it from you any longer."
Y/n's heart raced, emotions crashing over her like waves. "You're pregnant? With my baby?" she repeated, trying to comprehend the news.
"Yes," Lorelai said, tears glistening in her eyes. "I didn't mean for it to happen this way, but I want you to know that I love you, and I want to raise this child together."
""Lorelai..." Y/n started, her voice trembling with joyful tears. "You're really?"
Lorelai nodded, her own tears brimming as she took in Y/n's reaction. Y/n jumped up in shock, her heart racing with exhilaration. "Oh my God, you're pregnant?" she exclaimed, laughter spilling out of her.
"Yes! We're having a baby together!" Lorelai whispered softly, her eyes shining with love and excitement.
They embraced, Y/n's laughter mingling with Lorelai's tears as they reveled in the joy of the moment. It was a whirlwind of emotions, but above all, there was hope-a chance to build a family together.
Later that week, the couple decided it was time to share the news with their friends and family. "We should tell everyone," Y/n suggested, her excitement bubbling over. "I can't keep this a secret any longer!"
Lorelai grinned, her heart racing. "Okay, but we need to do it right. How about dinner at Luke's? It'll be casual, and we can get everyone together."
"That sounds perfect," Y/n agreed, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
When they arrived at Luke's Diner, the familiar scent of coffee and breakfast filled the air. Luke was busy at the counter, pouring coffee for a few regulars. He looked up as they walked in, a smile breaking across his face. "Hey, ladies! What's the occasion? You both look like you just won the lottery."
Y/n exchanged a glance with Lorelai, her heart pounding with excitement. "You could say that, Luke. We have some big news to share."
"Alright, I'm all ears," Luke said, leaning against the counter, wiping his hands on a towel.
Once they were seated, Y/n cleared her throat. "So, we wanted to let you all know that Lorelai is pregnant!"
Luke's eyes widened in shock, then filled with joy. "Seriously? That's amazing! Congratulations!" He beamed, and before they knew it, he was already on his feet, giving Lorelai a hearty hug. "I can't believe it! You two are going to be parents you both killed it with Rory!"
"Thanks, Luke!" Lorelai said, her heart swelling with happiness. "We're really excited, but also a little scared."
Y/n nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's a lot to take in, but we know we can count on you for support."
"Absolutely. You've got me and the diner behind you. Whatever you need, just ask," Luke said, his tone earnest.
After they finished dinner, Lorelai suggested they share the news with her parents. "I think we should tell Emily and Richard next. They'll want to know," she said.
"Are you sure they'll take it well?" Y/n asked, a hint of concern in her voice.
Lorelai shrugged, a determined glint in her eye. "They love me, and they'll love our baby. They might be shocked at first, but they'll come around. Plus, they're my parents. I need to tell them."
With Y/n by her side, Lorelai made the call. A few days later, they found themselves in the grand living room of her parents' home. The room was filled with elegant decor, a stark contrast to the casual warmth of Luke's.
