Author's Note: Okay first off don't own anything so don't sue

Author's Note: Okay first off don't own anything so don't sue. Second sorry for misspelling Lorelai's name in my last story but my spell check automatically changed it to that on accident. Third, this is a sequel to "Love and Coffee" so ya kinda have to read that before you read this. Anyways, enough talk, read on!

"Mooomm!!!!!!!!!" Rory yelled to her mother in a whiny voice. "We're going to be even later than usual! We still have to pick up Luke!"

It was only four days after Lorelai and Luke had confessed their feelings for each other and while the town was a buzz with new news on the couple there were two very important people who hadn't been informed of the couples' union, Emily and Richard Gilmore.  Friday night dinner was when Lorelai planned on telling her parents but in the short four days it took for Friday to get there Lorelai had lost her nerve. To make matters worse, Lorelai had invited Luke to come along with the girls (when she still had the courage) and was now regretting it immensely.

"Do we have to go tonight? Can't we say that we have other plans? Or better yet we can call them on the cell phone and tell them that on our way we got hit by a deer!" Lorelai complained as she walked slowly down the stairs.

"How would getting hit by a deer help get out of Friday dinner?" Rory asked skeptically all the while pushing her mother to walk faster as they made their way out the door and to the car.

"Well, we can say we have to search the woods looking for the deer."

"No."

"Meanie."

"Yeah, yeah. Let's just get to the diner to meet Luke and then go to Hartford, please?"

"Fine, Luke better have some coffee waiting."

Ten minutes later…

"I can't believe you didn't have any coffee for us!" whined Lorelai.

"Coffee is bad for you." Luke replied simply.

"Evil."

"Did you know that just one cup of coffee can harden your arteries for three hours?"

"Luuuuukkee! I thought I would get unlimited coffee out of you when we started going out!"

"I never promised anything." Luke smiled very amused by the situation.

"Yes you did! Remember, love and coffee it's a beautiful thing!" Lorelai said quoting from memory the words that were exchanged the night they got together looking over at him as she said it.

"Can you keep your eyes on the road please?"

"Only if you give me coffee!"

"No!"

Rory laughed to herself from the backseat. 'Who needs cable when you've got this kind of entertainment?' she thought to herself. The relationship was still very new to all of them but Rory liked the picture that the moment was painting in her mind right then. They were driving together for dinner like a family, a real family, a loving one. She could even imagine herself calling Luke "Dad". 'I wonder what he would think of that?'

"Please, please, please, please, please????"

"No, no, no, no, and hmmm…let's see…no!"

"I want coffee!" Lorelai whined sounding very much like a child in a toy store demanding a toy.

"What am I supposed to do? We're driving! Do you think I carry coffee in my pocket? I couldn't give you coffee right now if I wanted to!" Luke exclaimed with laughter in his voice.

"Oh…oops…I forgot about that."

Rory smiled, she had never seen Luke that happy before. Every time she saw him he always had a smile on his voice, a skip in his step, and a cheerful tone. At first she thought of the new Luke as very scary given she was so used to the old somewhat cynical Luke but he had toned down his cheerfulness after seeing how much it scared all of Stars Hollow as well and found a happy medium between the two.

'I wonder if I'll ever find someone. Someone who I can have a friendly banter with that will keep me on my toes and will do sweet things for me like bringing me coffee, or someone who I can open up to. A boyfriend who is more than that, a guy who is my best friend too. I wonder.'

"Okay we're here!" Lorelai's voice said interrupting Rory's thoughts. 

"Wow, so this is the place huh?" Luke asked as they got out of the car and walked towards the door.

"Yeah."

"Hey mom, does Grandma know Luke is coming too?"

"Um…well…you see…" Lorelai stammered.

"You didn't tell her?" Luke asked shocked.

"Well…I meant to." she replied sheepishly. "Here goes nothing." she said as she rang the doorbell.

Seconds later Emily answered the door.

"Hi mom!" Lorelai greeted with forced cheerfulness.

Emily looked past her and stared at Luke.

"Who are you?" was her reply.
