Author's Note: Here it is! The SEQUEL!!! YAY! Anyways, as usual I don't own
anything. So anyway here goes!
PS-A few of you asked about the "Mac" thing. I came up with that and yes it is true, I looked it up on a site dedicated to Irish gods and goddesses.
Chapter 1
"Okay, Sookie whoa! Hold on what's wrong?" Lorelai said into the phone trying to understand Sookie's panicked babble.
Rory walked into the living room at the sound of her mother's confusion. Looking down at the couch, she saw a part of the blue streamer that decorated Tristan's party her mother had brought home. She smiled remembering last night. Tristan was so happy at the party, which true to Stars Hollow tradition, didn't end until after midnight. The after party at the inn only went on for one more hour until everyone finally fell asleep. Luckily, many people had thought to give Tristan clothes as a present so he was able to have a fresh set of clothes in the morning. Everyone had gone home and the town had been cleaning up the mess the entire day.
"Okay, okay. Listen don't worry Ralph will be fine." Lorelai reassured Sookie from the phone.
Rory twisted her face in curiosity. What happened to Ralph? He was one of the cooks at the inn. ~Well, considering he works with Sookie the possibilities are endless.~ Rory mused silently.
"Okay, Sook, how many fell on him?" Lorelai asked waiting for an answer. "FIFTY!" she shouted on disbelief. "Fifty?! Are you sure?!…Yes, yes, I know you were right there but…oh, so it could have been worse?"
"Mom? What happened?" Rory mouthed. Lorelai held up her finger. "Hold on." she mouthed back.
"Hey Sook, I gotta go…okay…it's not your fault…really…it was an accident…okay bye." With that Lorelai hung up the phone.
"What happened to Ralph mom?" Rory asked.
"Well, Sookie came in to work today after you kids left and a few minutes ago…there was a minor kitchen mishap."
"What's minor?"
"She accidentally crushed Ralph with about fifty pumpkins." Lorelai answered.
"What?! How?"
"Well, she was experimenting with this pumpkin pudding thing and she wanted a specific type of pumpkin. Unfortunately it was kind of in the bottom crate that was holding the pile up. Let's just say, it's not holding them up anymore. Poor Ralph was walking by just as it fell. Sookie just called from the hospital."
"Oh my gosh. Is he all right? Is Sookie?" Rory asked in concern.
"Yeah, Sookie's fine. She had already walked off at the time. Ralph is cool to, I'm sure he'll be up and walking around in no time!" she said grabbing her jacket and heading for the door. "Once he regains consciousness. So let's go to Luke's!" Lorelai added.
"He's unconscious!?" Rory exclaimed following Lorelai out the door.
"Yeah, kind of."
"You can't be kind of unconscious."
"Yes, you can." Lorelai argued.
"No, you either are or you aren't."
"Nope, I disagree."
And so the banter continued as they walked to Luke's place.
"Lukey!" Lorelai exclaimed. "Coffee!"
"Lori!" he exclaimed sarcastically with mock enthusiasm. "No!"
"Okay hun, if we're gonna get married you are going to have to realize that depriving me of coffee is a bad thing." she said slowly.
"Don't care." Luke replied.
"Meanie! Give me coffee!" she begged.
"Don't think so." he retorted as he took he walked over to take Kirk's order. "What are you having?"
Lorelai scooted down next to him. "He'll have a very large cup of coffee." she said. Rory cleared her throat loudly. "He'll have TWO very large cups of coffee."
"Actually, no." Kirk interrupted. "I'll have ice tea and a turkey sandwich."
Luke nodded as he took the order.
"You serve turkey sandwiches?" Lorelai asked moving back to her previous seat.
"Yeah." Luke grunted.
"Since when?"
"Since always." he called from the kitchen.
Lorelai looked questioningly at her daughter.
"Don't look at me. I didn't know." Rory said, holding her hands up in defense.
"That's cuz you only order burgers." Jess said coming up behind them. "Peruse the menu next time. Hey Luke, one cheeseburger for Taylor!" he called towards the kitchen.
Luke nodded his head to show he got the order.
"Hey, okay, we don't ONLY order burgers. We have different stuff for breakfast." Lorelai argued.
"Yeah, and sometimes there are pastries involved." Rory added.
"True, but you need to broaden your horizons a little more." Jess said walking behind the counter with his back to them.
Lorelai and Rory gasped dramatically. "That's crazy talk you traitor!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"I don't know if I wanna be cousins anymore." Rory pouted.
Jess looked towards the kitchen and saw that Luke wasn't looking.
"Well, would you reconsider if," he turned around smiling holding two cups of coffee, "I gave you these?"
The two girls quickly grabbed the cups and each took a large swig of the brew. They looked at each other and smiled, then turned back to Jess.
"Welcome to the family." Lorelai said as she grinned like a child.
"If Luke asks, you walked around and got those yourselves." he whispered as he left to tend to two more customers who just walked in.
"Got it." Rory affirmed.
"What will you be having and where did you get the coffee?" Luke asked coming out from the kitchen. He held Taylor's burger in one hand.
"Thanks Luke." Jess said, coming up to take the plate.
"Did you give them the coffee?" Luke asked.
"Who me?" Jess said innocently.
"Not him, we sneaked it!" Lorelai interrupted, covering for her soon to be nephew. "And we'll have the usual."
Luke sighed. "Burgers and fries coming up."
Lorelai got up and followed him back into the kitchen.
"Hey, diner boy." she whispered playfully.
When Luke turned around she went up and pressed her lips against his.
"I've been waiting for you to do that." Luke said quietly once they pulled apart.
"Me too." she admitted and pulled him in for another kiss.
"Hey you two!" they heard Rory say from outside. "I know you're making out in there! Stop it! I'm hungry and I want my dinner!"
Luke groaned. "Coming right up!" he called back.
Lorelai laughed. "So…" she began.
"So, what?" Luke asked as he put the hamburger patties on the grill.
"We're getting married." she said happily.
"Yeah, we are."
Lorelai moved behind him. Placing her arms around his upper body she rested her head on his shoulders.
"When?" she asked.
"When do you want to?"
"Soon, but not too soon. I don't want a long engagement."
"Neither do I." Luke agreed.
"So how about…"
"Summertime?" he suggested.
"Hmm, could work. The kids will be out of school, that's far away enough to plan everything out, and yet it's not too far away. Perfect." Lorelai decided.
"Okay, now what date?" he asked as he put the spatula in his hand back on its hook so it would be out of the way.
"Hmm…how about sometime in June?"
" How about…June 12th?
"Why the 12th?" Lorelai asked, pulling away from her fiancée so he could get the fries.
"I don't know. Twelve just sounds like a good number."
Lorelai put on a thoughtful look then turned to see Luke's spatula hanging from its usual spot through the window in the wall separating the kitchen from the diner.
"What do you think Spatty? June 12th okay?" Lorelai was silent for a few seconds as she listened for the 'reply'. "Okay, Mr. Spatula says that June 12th is a perfect day for our wedding."
"Good, and what did I tell you about naming my cooking utensils?"
"Too late. He's already part of the family." Lorelai said clutching the spatula to her body.
"Yeah well," Luke said snatching it from her hands, "I need 'him' to flip burgers if you don't mind."
Lorelai just stuck her tongue out but retracted it when Luke handed her the two plates containing hers and Rory's food.
"Thank you nice man." she said giddily taking the plates and giving him a small kiss.
He shook his head as she bounced out of the kitchen and sat down next to Rory, who sat patiently waiting. Luke looked down at the spatula in his hand.
"Am I crazy for loving her Spatty? What am I saying? Of course I am, I just talked to a spatula!" he exclaimed.
"I heard that! And I'm so proud!" Lorelai said loudly so Luke could hear.
"Why do I continue to fight it?" he said to himself.
"I don't know." Lorelai said popping her head into the window.
"Ah!" Luke exclaimed in fright. "Jeez, you scared me! Do you have abnormal hearing or something?"
"No, the first time you were talking really loud and this time I heard ya cuz I came back here looking for coffee."
"Get out from behind my counter." he said.
"Nope." she grinned leaning against the window. "Not until I get what I came for," looked over and grabbed a pot of the brew, "and here it is!" she said holding it up so he could see.
"Fine, fine. I'll let it slide this time." he acquiesced.
"Got him wrapped around my finger." Lorelai told Rory as she turned around to fill up hers and her daughter's cups.
"I heard that." Luke said loudly.
