Gilmore Girls- Us, Finally

A/N: Takes place at the very end of the episode where Lorelai and Luke first get together. What I think should have happened .

Luke advanced towards Lorelai, and for a second her blood ran cold.

"What are you doing?" she asked softly.

"Would you just stand still?" Luke asked, more like stated. He took that final step of 6 inches between him and Lorelai, gathered her in his arms, and kissed her. This was what he should have done a long time ago, and how good it felt. Lorelai pulled his closer and then they broke apart. There was again about 6 inches in between them, and Lorelai slowly closed that space in.

"What are you doing?" Luke asked, imitating Lorelai. He momentarily forgot to breathe.

"Would you just stand still?" Lorelai kissed Luke differently than he had kissed her. His was a question, more of an idea of the possibility of them. And now Lorelai was answering him- she wanted more than just that possibility, she wanted him. Finally. They pulled apart again, and leaned in at the same time. There could have been a nuclear explosion and they wouldn't have noticed. But something, perhaps not worse than a nuclear explosion, but very possibly more disturbing, stopped them. Kirk was running down the steps of the Dragonfly, with only a pillow as cover.

"Kirk!" Luke yelled after him. "I'll be back!" he shouted back to Lorelai, halfway down the yard as he pursued Kirk.

Lorelai felt as though a weight had been lifted off of her shoulders. And it was strange, too, because she didn't even know that the weight was there. She felt as though the lightest breeze might just simply blow her away. Lorelai smiled giddily and gave a small, girlish twirl. She floated to her car, and drove home without thinking about anything besides Luke. Luke. Luke! Luke, coffee Luke, her Luke. Her boyfriend, Luke? Was he her boyfriend? Was she his girlfriend? Luke!

Lorelai drove up in her driveway, and, feeling as though she might explode in a burst of giggles and smiles that she didn't even know she had in her, skipped up to the front door. She swung it open majestically and screamed. It wasn't a scared scream, an angry scream, not even a confused scream. She screamed because she finally realized just how wonderful Luke was. And why he had done everything for her. Fixed the porch rail. Helped her buy the Dragonfly. Had he really liked her for that long? As long as everyone else thought? She also realized that her heart leapt everytime he smiled at her. When they bumped against each other. Maybe she had liked him forever too, and she just didn't realize it.

"Rory!" Lorelai called gleefully. "Rory, bun, you gotta get over her right now!"

"Right here, mom." Rory yelled from inside the kitchen. "We're in here." Lorelai paused. We? Lane, we? Who, we? She tried to peer around the wall cautiously to see the we. And then she stopped right in her tracks.

"Jess. Hi."

"Lorelai."

"Mom, Jess has been spending some time in California and he came back by Stars Hollow to see Luke. He swung bye to say hi."

"I was just leaving. Sorry to interrupt anything. Rory, tomorrow, 7 o'clock?"

"Ok. Bye." Rory smiled.

"Bye." Lorelai said, eyebrows raised. Jess raised his hand in a wave and sauntered out through the kitchen door. "Rory, anything you want to tell me?" Lorelai felt her giddiness slipping away slightly, although it was still gnawing at her insides.

"Jess and I are having dinner tomorrow night. We're talking about maybe getting back together."

"Are you sure he won't just leave again?"

"Mom."

"Fine."

"Did I hear you scream when you came in?" Rory asked. Lorelai broke into a huge grin. The giddiness was back.

"Luke."

"Oh my God!"

"He kissed me! And then I kissed him! And then Kirk ran down the stairs naked and Luke chased after him. Eeep!" Lorelai jumped and screamed again. Rory screamed too and jumped up to hug her mom. They jumped and screamed and giggled together until they were interrupted by a knock on the kitchen door.

"Are you OK?" Luke stuck his head in. The girls stopped leaping but still continued to smile.

"We're fine!" Rory laughed. "Oh my God!" She and her mom jumped some more until Luke stopped them.

"Something going on here?" He asked, confused. Rory ran over to him and wrapped him in a huge hug.

"We're just really, really happy!" she said to him before waving to her mom. "I'm gonna go take a walk. Find Jess."

"Jess?" Luke asked, even more confused. "Jess is here?" But Rory was already gone.

"Did you catch Kirk?" Lorelai asked, changing the subject. She really didn't want to talk about Jess right now.

"Yeah. After he streaked through half the town," he laughed and Lorelai melted. "I got him back in his room. I don't even think he woke up."

"So did he see-," Lorelai's cheeks burned red.

"No. I don't think so."

"Good. Cause I was thinking, let's just not tell anyone yet. You know how things are around here."

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea." Luke laughed. Lorelai smiled and now it was his turn to felt as her sapphires gleamed and sparkled. He crossed the room and sat down in a chair, pulling one for Lorelai out first.

"Oooh, what a gentleman!" she remarked. Luke smiled slightly.

"So, you and Jason-,"

"Like I said, over."

"Good. Good. That's- good."

"Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry I didn't notice it until now."

"Notice what?"

"Us, I guess. Us."

"Lorelai-,"

"No. I should have seen it. But now- yeah!" Lorelai giggled again. Luke smiled and Lorelai noticed for the first time that his eyes were like an ocean in midday sun, sparkly and serene. Gorgeous. Lorelai then noticed how extremely poetic and stupid she sounded. Luke would laugh. So they just sat there, talking and laughing, finally perfect.

This was just an opener, I'll add more tomorrow. The others chapters will be longer, too. To be continued!
