Disclaimer. Yo. I don't own Girlmore girls. Duh.
A/N: In this version of the episode Sookie has already had her baby. Just for future reference.
Chapter 1
"So you're saying we don't get a divorce?" Luke asked giving her a questioningly look as she sat in a chair in front of the window with a steaming cup of coffee in front of her.
"Well yeah. I say we try dating and see where it gets us." Nicole said taking a sip of her coffee delicately.
"Well I don't know, it still sounds kind of weird." Luke said not completely sure of her intentions in this relationship.
"We can just try it and if it doesn't work out we only have one more paper to sign." Nicole said smiling up at him from her seat.
"Okay. We'll give it a try." Luke said smiling back at her, unaware of the person watching the whole encounter from across the square.
30 minutes ago at the Festival of Living Art
"Mom what's wrong! You're about to go on!" Rory asked her mother, Lorelai Gilmore, who had been wearing a dazed look for the past 20 minutes as the make-up artist had fixed her up just perfectly and the fashion dresser had dressed her up also perfectly for the role.
"Huh? Oh…nothing…just thinking…" Lorelai said not wanting to reveal what or who more specifically she had been thinking about.
"About…a someone?" Rory asked knowing her mom too well.
Lorelai didn't say anything but Rory knew she had been, mainly by how she had acted at the diner that day, she knew why her mom was thinking about what she was or more correctly who she was thinking about.
"About…Luke?" Rory said whispering Luke so that only her mother heard her.
"What? What, what gave you such an idea?" Lorelai said guiltily suddenly becoming very busy with her reflection in the mirror.
"Mom. You can't fool me. Just like when you tried to convince me you weren't obsessed with F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and then you go out and buy all the seasons!" Rory said looking at her mother with raised eyebrows.
"Rory…you know me too well." Lorelai said smiling at her daughter and Rory smiling back.
"Now go out there and do that part like it was Brad Pitt!" Rory said pushing her mother in the direction.

"Who was calling you?" Rory asked questioningly at her mother as the hurried out of the building and across the square.
"You'll see." Lorelai said a smile playing on her lips.
They were half-way across the square and Lorelai stopped and realized how silly it would look if she brought her kid to a possible serious private conversation. "Hey why don't you go by Al's and get us some food for the night?"
"But Mom, you have to tell me who was calling you!" Rory whined.
"Just do as mommy says and I'll explain when I get home!" Lorelai said with a pleading look on her face.
"Okay mom. But you owe me." Rory said stalking off towards Al's.
Lorelai continued her walk-run across the square. It would be full sprint if her stupid heels hadn't been rubbing blisters on her ankles all night.
"Damn heels!" Lorelai exclaimed to herself pulling them off and breaking out into a run for the diner. She stopped dead in her tracks at the edge of the street across from the diner when she saw a woman who she hoped she would never ever see in the diner, her sanctuary, ever again. Nicole.
She was sitting with her side towards the window and her face facing the one-and-only Luke Danes. Her Luke. The one who had been calling her during the festival. She knew it was important otherwise he would've just waited to talk to her tomorrow. What if this was the important news? Nicole was back.
She saw Luke smile gently and look down shyly. This was something big. She stood there in horror as Nicole got up and hugged Luke and he hugged her back but almost hesitantly but he did. A sincere hug. Almost as if to make something official and he smiled and gave a small wave as she walked out of the diner. Looking at how dumb she would look if either of them saw her standing there gapeing at the exchange they had just shared so she quickly ducked behind a car. Waiting to hear a car drive off instead she heard heels clicking getting closer…closer…closer. Now they were coming around the car.
"What the hell?" Nicole asked looking at Lorelai like she had just caught her making out with Luke right there when Luke was all the way across the street.
Aw shit.
"Uh…playing hide-n-seek with my daughter?" Lorelai said smiling slightly at the thought of Rory searching around yelling "Ready or not here I come!"
"You mean the 19 year-old who goes to Yale?" Nicole said placing her hands on her hips.
"Um no. Didn't you know? I have another daughter who isn't really my daughter we just pretend and call each other that. Not daughter she calls me mommy and I call her princess because she doesn't have a real mother figure in her life so I decided I'd provide her with that. Oh yay! I just heard her give up! Thanks for the great hiding spot!" Lorelai said absently leaving her heels under Nicole's car and running off.

Lorelai walked through the door of the crap shack, feet aching and tears streaming down her face and a pain in her stomach that felt like her heart had just dropped into it.
Rory had heard her mom's sobs and had come into the living room and saw her mother lying on the sofa face down sobbing into one of the pillows.
"Mom, what happened?" Rory asked sitting down on the sofa rubbing Lorelai's shoulder comforting.
"Nicole!" Lorelai said dragging out every syllable.
"What happened with Nicole?" Rory asked sounding like she was talking to a five-year-old. She leaned back as Lorelai suddenly sat up and started her story.
"Luke is the one that called me during the festival and I knew it was important otherwise he would've waited until tomorrow but he didn't. He called me then. Right then! And so I started over there and then I made up an excuse for you so me and Luke could talk alone, no offense,"
"None taken."
Lorelai continued, "and then I take off my heels and go for a full…my heels! Where are my heels!? Oh great I probably left them at the scene of embarrassment." Lorelai said putting her face in her hands.
"What scene of embarrassment? You took off your heels and then…?" Rory asked wide-eyed.
"Well and then I started running across the square towards the diner and I get to the edge of the square and boom. I see her. In the diner talking with Luke. And he looks happy and shy! So you know it was something big and me being a big idiot just stand there with my mouth wide open staring so it didn't click in my mind 'Hey Nicoles getting up, walking towards the door…' And then I noticed and so I ducked down behind a car that was close so she wouldn't see me but then it turned out to be her car! So I got caught and made up some stupid story about me and my fake daughter playing hide-n-go seek and made a run for it." Lorelai said heaving a deep breath and exhaling.
"Wow." Is all Rory could muster to say.
"I know! I bet he saw me too. I bet he saw me run and thought 'she's such an idiot!' cuz that's what I woulda thought!" Lorelai said putting her head back in her hands.
"I'll get the ice cream." Rory said making her ways toward the kitchen for a mother-daughter wallowing.

Luke laid in bed staring at the ceiling. Me and Nicole are back together. Why am I not overwhelmed with joy? Awhile ago I was feeling so lonely and now I have somebody. I should be rejoicing. But what's wrong Danes? Luke asked himself.

Flashback of that day
The bells above the diner door rang and in she walked with her mini-me.
"Coffee!" They said in unison as they both took seats at the counter.
"One day both of you will learn." Luke said but just poured them both a cup of coffee
"So you're in the Festival of Living Art huh?" Luke said to Lorelai who was now taking a sip of what she believed to be liquid heaven.
"Hmm yeah, Taylor just though I was the most beautiful of them all and had to do it and like I could argue with that!" Lorelai said giggling.
"He has a point." Luke winked and walked off to fill cups of coffee making Lorelai blush and almost choke on her coffee.
Luke went back behind the counter and looked at them both who looked guilty of something. "What's up with you 2?" Luke asked placing the coffee pot back on the burner.
"Rory, outside!" Lorelai said grabbing her daughter's arm and pulling her outside.
"Mom!" Rory said reluctant to leave her coffee.
Once they were outside Luke couldn't see the exchange between the 2 but knew something was up when he saw Lorelai's arm motions and hand gestures.
Lorelai walked back inside Rory just behind her trying to be graceful but tripped on the threshold and Luke hurried over to help her up but she brushed it up and got up and dusted herself off with Rory trying to withhold giggles.
That night when the dinner was quite empty the thought had crossed his mind Was it what I said that had made her act like that? Luke thought to himself thinking of how much he really did like her. Maybe he should just tell her. Just tell her how he felt. Everything. He decided he'd call her and tell her to come the diner ASAP so they could talk. But as it rang for the 5th time wondering why she hadn't picked up someone very unexpectant had walked in. Nicole.
End Flahsback

Do I still have feelings for Lorelai? Luke wondered to himself staring at the ceiling.
