It's amazing really. I thought I could stop writing GG stories for a while because I was out of ideas and energy, but as soon as I finished the last one a new one popped into my head. Some people asked a whole while ago for this, so I hope you'll enjoy it and leave me some reviews, because they are a huge motivation.
Chapter 1: The house of chaos
It was Monday morning eight o'clock and a loud crash echoed through the Danes' home.
"Sara, Laila! What was that?" Lorelai yelled from her bedroom to her two daughters, who should at least be in their room, but with the troublesome five year olds one never knew.
Lorelai sighed when she didn't get an answer, which was never a good sign. She was currently dressed only in her underwear and was searching her black skirt and her blue blouse, but couldn't find them. Nearly all of her clothes were already thrown on the bed and still the things she was looking for couldn't be found. She decided to check on her daughters at first though, before she would get dressed and walked out of the room, down the hallway and to her daughters' bedroom. She found the twins kneeling on the floor and the contents of one of their boxes with Barbies and accessories were spread out all over the room.
"What are you doing?" she asked them and put her hands on her hips, annoyed at the mess her daughters had created.
"I can't find the yellow dress for the skating Barbie", Laila said and didn't stop digging through the mess on the floor.
"I think it's in there", Sara said and went to the other box and wanted to empty it as well, when Lorelai stopped her.
"Tat, tat, tat, forget it missy. First clean up the mess you made and then you can look through the other box. And now put it down", she said and took the box out of her daughter's hands.
"But mommy! We need that dress", Sara insisted and looked just as annoyed as Lorelai.
"Why? You are dressed and that thing is way too small for me anyway", Lorelai joked.
"Oh you are stupid mommy. That dress is not for you, but for the Barbies", Sara said with a duh- tone, while her sister was still searching on the floor.
"Hey, don't call me stupid. And now clean up, we don't have time for that now. Luke will be here any second and he'll freak out when he'll see this mess", Lorelai warned them.
"But we can't leave before I found the yellow dress for Barbie. I want to take her with me today and she needs the dress", Laila spoke up, frustrated from her fruitless search.
"Laila, today is not toy-day at kindergarten and there won't be any toys allowed there anyway so that has time until Thursday", Lorelai replied.
"But I want to take her today", Laila insisted and started to pout.
"Sorry, I didn't make the rules, I just follow them, so stop pouting", Lorelai sighed.
"I don't go to stupid kindergarten without my Barbie", Laila started to cry and Lorelai groaned unnerved.
"Clean up and get ready", she said pointed at the two of them and then to the floor before she left the room and jogged back to her bedroom. She knew that if Luke would get back and she still wasn't dressed she would have a problem as well. She started to look through her clothes and still couldn't find what she was looking for. Swearing and muttering she picked up the phone from her nightstand and called the diner.
"Luke's" Cesar answered the phone.
"Is Luke still there?" she asked without greeting or telling him who was calling. Cesar was used to these kind of calls though and just handed the phone over to his boss.
"Your wife", he just said to Luke and the hurried off to the kitchen, because whenever she was calling and sounded that way, Luke wasn't in a good mood afterwards.
"What?" Luke just asked grumpily and refilled the coffee- maker with coffee.
"Where is my black skirt and my blue blouse?" she asked while she threw out the rest of the clothes.
"You're still not dressed?" he asked unnerved.
"I can't find the outfit I planned on wearing today. So where is it?" she asked back.
"Why the heck should I know where you put your clothes? Knowing you they could be in Will's bookshelf", he replied and closed the coffeemaker.
"Because you brought them to the dry cleaners weeks ago", she said and her voice reached that high pitched tone, she only got when she was stressed or angry.
"Well, then if you didn't pick them up that's where they still are", Luke shrugged.
"You didn't pick them up?" she screeched.
"No, I handed you the number and told you to pick them up in two days, which obviously you didn't", he said and tried to stay calm and not start laughing. They had had the exact discussion a million times already and every time it ended the same way.
"But you didn't me remind me that two days were up", she replied stubbornly, not willing to admit that it had been her fault.
"Get dressed!", he told her sternly and placed the order pad on the counter.
"I have nothing to wear", she yammered and sat down on the bed with a huff.
"Wear the knee-long black dress, the white blouse and your knee high black boots", he said and rolled his eyes at Andrew who was drinking his coffee at the counter and grinned while he listened to Luke.
"Black dress and black boots? Are you planning on getting lucky once the show is over?" she smiled and played with a strand of her hair without realizing it.
"No, I'm planning on coming over now and you better be dressed and ready then", he shot back and hung up, knowing that otherwise this discussion would go on for a while and they didn't have time for that.
"Damn", Lorelai muttered with a smile on her face and got up. In moments like this she wondered why Luke put up with her and her crazy ways. She found the dress he had been talking about quickly and had to throw the rest of the clothes on the floor to get to her white blouse, or the white blouse Luke had been talking about. The make-up she had applied already after her shower and she thought about what to do with her hair for a second. Then she just twirled her hair two times and clipped it up on her head with only one lose strand framing her face.
"Mommy, can I go like that?" William asked and walked into the room. He wore black slacks, and a light blue polo-shirt.
"You look gorgeous honey", Lorelai said and ruffled through his hair.
"Hey, I already combed it", Will complained and smoothed his hair with both hands.
"Oh sorry my baby, mommy is just a bit excited", Lorelai apologized and laughed.
"Why? It is my first day at school and not yours", William said and looked up at her.
"But it's the first time I let my baby go out into the big bad world all alone", she said and sniffed exaggeratedly.
"I am not a baby", he grumbled.
"You're my baby and you'll always be, even when you're eighty and all wrinkled", she said and hugged him to her. "I am so proud of you, honey", she whispered in his ear and kissed his cheek several times.
"Mommy, you get lipstick on my cheek", he protested after a moment and rushed to the mirror to wipe the lipstick away.
"Spoil sport", Lorelai told him and walked to her dresser. On top of it lay her black rimmed glasses and beside it stood her plastic box with her contacts in. She stared at it and contemplated what would go better with her outfit.
"The glasses", she heard Luke say and turned around to found him leaning against the door frame.
"Well, isn't this Benjamin Braddock speaking", she grinned.
"Jeez", Luke rolled his eyes and then stepped into the room and saw the clothes on floor. "You are so gonna clean that up when we get back", he told her with raised eyebrows.
"Daddy, can I go like that?" William spoke up and spared Lorelai the answer.
"Yes, sure", Luke shrugged and Lorelai waved her hands behind William's back to signalize Luke that he needed to show more enthusiasm. "You look very, uhm, schoolboy-ish", he said then.
"Really?" William asked and his face lit up with a smile.
"Yes, really", Luke nodded.
"Yay", William said and hugged Luke's middle.
"Hey, you didn't hug me like that", Lorelai complained and Luke picked up his six year old son.
"You destroyed my hair", William shot back and buried his face in his father's shoulder while Luke chuckled. Lorelai just snorted, then took a spray of her perfume.
"Done", she announced then and smiled proudly. William still clung to his father his legs now slung around Luke's waist. Luke rubbed his back, sensing that his son was nervous because of the big event. Lorelai walked over to them and slung one arm around Luke's shoulder and the other around William. She pressed her cheek to his hair and whispered in his ear "It will be all right, you'll see". They stood like that for a moment, before the twins rushed into the room, both crying.
"What's wrong?" Luke asked them and placed William back on the ground.
"I can't find the dress", Laila sniffed.
"I stepped into the red plastic shoe", Sara cried.
"What is the red plastic shoe doing on the floor?" Luke asked and picked Sara up and carried her to the bed.
"Oh you don't want to know", Lorelai said with a laugh while Luke inspected his daughter's foot.
"Your foot is fine and you don't need any other dress", Luke told his daughters then.
"You better hurry and clean the mess up before daddy sees it", Lorelai said.
"But your clothes are on the floor as well", Sara protested.
"Yes and she will get her punishment and now hurry. You have ten minutes before I come and check the room", Luke said and the twins ran off. "You've got everything?" he asked William and Lorelai then.
"I have my backpack, my pens and something to drink", William nodded.
"And I have my purse, my glasses, the camera and tissues", Lorelai nodded as well.
"Good", Luke said. "Then go and feet your pets and then we'll leave", he told William and the boy marched off.
"Ten minutes huh? You could have made it twenty and we could have played out that Mrs. Robinson fantasy you got here", Lorelai smiled seductively at her husband and slung her arms around his neck and pressed her body up against his.
"With the kids running around?", Luke asked and raised his eyebrows.
"Our bedroom door has a lock, you know", she grinned and kissed him.
"Yes, but it's not sound proof", he replied, but kissed her back.
"Is it the dress, the glasses or the boots?" she asked him, still smiling.
"The combination", Luke grinned and gave her another quick peck before he pulled back.
"I have to keep that in mind", Lorelai said and smoothed out her blouse.
"I will change quickly and then we can leave. We still have to stop at the kindergarten and dump the twins", he said and walked into the bathroom.
"Dump the twins? You have such a way with words", Lorelai laughed.
"They are unbearable in the morning with all their yammering", Luke complained.
"Maybe you should reconsider my coffee theory".
"We will NOT give them coffee. No way", Luke insisted and marched back out of the bathroom, already changed into black slacks and a white shirt. He held out the tie to Lorelai and she tied it for him and straightened the knot. Luke picked up his suit jacket then and slipped in.
"Let's go?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah let's go", he nodded and they walked out of the bedroom together.
"Everybody with the last name "Danes" goes downstairs now and gets into his or her shoes. We're leaving", Lorelai yelled and the kids ran past them and down the stairs. Luke shook his head at her yelling and closed the bedroom door behind him, shaking his head again when he saw the clothes on the floor.
"Let's leave the house of chaos, before Laila remembers the dress", Lorelai told Luke and took his hand in hers, before they walked down the stairs ready to start the big day. William's first day at school.

You might have noticed that this is another sequel to the "William stories", but I think it can be read without reading the other three before, althought I would be happy if you do read them and leave me a comment. Next chapter should be up soon
