Chapter 1

Lorelai walks into the diner and sits at the counter

Luke- Hey.

Lorelai- Hey Luke, can I have some coffee to go.

Luke- Sure...(pours coffee)...you have to get to the Inn?

Lorelai- No. I need to go to Sookie's and pick up Davey. They're going out of town for a week and I said I would watch him.

Luke- will you be able to handle that, with you working at the Inn and all?

Lorelai- I don't know. I didn't think about that when I said I would watch him. And I can't really ask Rory to help since she has classes and everything.

Luke- I'll help.

Lorelai- What?

Luke- I'll help.

Lorelai- Are you sure?

Luke- Yeah. I'll watch him while your at the Inn and after work you can come and pick him up.

Lorelai- Luke, that's really sweet, but I can't ask you to do that.

Luke- you didn't ask, I offered.

Lorelai- I was just about to go pick him up and then head to the Inn.

Luke- Bring him back here. I still have a playpen upstairs from when Jess was a baby, I'll move some tables and set it up over in the corner.

Lorelai- you're the best Luke, I'll go pick him up now.

Sookie's

Lorelai- Hey Sookie, Hey Jackson.

Sookie- Hey.

Jackson- Hey.

Sookie- You ready for Davey?

Lorelai- As I'll ever be.

Sookie- Here you go...(hands him to Lorelai)...Do you have everything you'll need?

Lorelai- we been over this Sook, I have everything.

Sookie- Food?

Lorelai- Yes.

Sookie- Diapers?

Lorelai- Yes.

Sookie- Playpen?

Lorelai- Luke has one.

Sookie- Luke?

Lorelai- Yeah, He's going to help me watch him.

Sookie- Really? I thought he hated kids.

Lorelai- I know, but he volunteered, so I'll let him help me.

Sookie- Is he going to stay at your house?

Lorelai- I don't know yet.

Sookie- Well, Davey can be quite a hand full at night. Maybe you should consider letting Luke play Daddy.

Lorelai- Maybe. I'll think about it. I need to get to the Inn...and you need to get to the airport.

Sookie- Oh! Jackson lets go.

Jackson- Coming!

Sookie- Bye-Bye baby, We'll be back soon...(kisses Davey on the cheek)...Bye Lorelai.

Lorelai- Bye Sookie, Have fun.

Jackson- Bye buddy...(Kisses him in the head)...I love you. Bye Lorelai.

Lorelai- Bye Jackson.

(Sookie and Jackson pull away)

Lorelai- Come on Davey, lets go see Dadd...I mean Luke. Hmm.

Luke's

Lorelai- Hey Luke.

Luke- Oh, hey, that was fast, didn't even have time to get the playpen down here.

Lorelai- Oh, do you want me to take him with me?

Luke- No, will you help me get the playpen down?

Lorelai- Sure.

Luke- Caesar, I'll be upstairs.

(Luke and Lorelai go upstairs. When Lorelai got up there she sat on Luke's bed cradling Davey in her arms.)

Lorelai- Hey Luke?

Luke- Yeah?

Lorelai- what are we going to do at night?

Luke- what do you mean?

Lorelai- I mean with Davey, Do you want to come stay my house and help me watch him?

Luke- yeah, sure, Are you comfortable with that?

Lorelai-Under one condition.

Luke- I'll cook breakfast every morning and when you wake up everyday there will be a fresh pot of coffee next to your bed.

Lorelai- you read my mind.

Luke- where will I sleep...(looking in the closet)

Lorelai- Um well...I guess you could sleep in my room...(Luke looks at her strangely)...I mean you won't be able to hear him downstairs, and he'll be in my room anyway, you will be a lot more help.

Luke- do you have a spare mattress? ...(Pulls out the playpen)

Lorelai- Just Rory's, you'll have to pull it upstairs.

Luke- Okay, I guess I'm staying at your house.
