A/N: My first Fanfic, so be nice! If it sucks, don't be afraid to tell me that either! This is set a little bit in the future, right around 7.12..based on the previews for that episode.

Disclaimer: I don't own, all goes to ASP and David. I take no credit. With an exception of the actual dialogue later on!

Please R/R if you want me to continue…..

"Tell me you don't love him!"

"..."

"I knew it, damnit Lorelai, I thought we could make this work, I thought I could be the second one, but I can't! It just isn't working! You always loved that Dinerman and you always will! So why don't I do us both a favor and just leave!"

Chris storms out of house…

Lorelai had been lying in bed for the better part of the day, processing over and over what Chris had said to her. She knew he was right, but somehow couldn't make herself believe it. She wanted it to be over with Luke, she really did. "I just don't want to get hurt again!" Finally, she got the courage to call the one person she knew would always be there for her- Rory.

"Hey hon. I know it's really, really late, but I need you to pick up the phone for Mommy oka-?"

"Mom? Are you there?"

"Yeah, sweets, I'm here."

"What's up, is something wrong? Did something happen to Dad? Gigi? Oh no, nothing happened to Luke did it?"

"Well…put it this way, Dad won't be in our lives as much as you'd hoped he would be...we kind of-sort of-well-had a fight..not just an ordinary fight..a big one. Big as in "sending in those divorce papers as we speak, big."

"What? Why? Did he turn around and leave again? I knew it wouldn't work, I just knew it. Dad can never stay put in one place for more than a couple of months, and this time he had to drag everyone into it, including Gigi-"

"Well, it wasn't just him…I kind of had a part in it too..he found the letter I was working on for Luke's Character Recommendation thing for his custody rights with April..it said all about when you were younger and him always being such a great father-like figure in your life, and how once he's in your life, he's in it forever. He said he thinks that I am still in love with Luke…"

"Oh my gosh, Mom! Do you think it's true? Do you still love Luke? Because come on mom, we all waited for you guys to finally come to your senses and get together, and once you did, you didn't communicate like you used too! We all just wanted you to be happy-me, the town, even Grandma for Christ's sakes!"

"I don't know hun- it's still a little too early in the game for me to figure this out! I have no idea what is even running through my own head right now!"

"Well figure it out soon, because we all know Luke is still in love with you, but he's not going to want to pine around for you forever, so you need to march yourself up to the diner and set the status. At least tell him how you feel, and give him a chance to react- go from there."

"Wow, Yale really is making you smart kids even smarter!"

"MOM! Stay on topic! Luke, mom, Luke. We all know that's who you want, so go and get it!"

"Okay, okay..but I just need a chance to think things over, thanks again babe, talk to you tomorrow?"

"I'll call you after class and see you at Friday Night Dinner."

Lorelai apparently didn't need too much time to think things over, because before she even knew what happened, she was standing in front of the Diner entrance, knocking on the door and yelling "LUKE!" at the top of her lungs. She had no idea what she was going to say, or even how she was going to say it. She just knew she had to tell him.

(Muffled through the walls and glass of the diner)"God damnit, who is knocking on my door at midnight—Lorelai?

Luke opens door, still a little sleepy-eyed… Before she even knew what she was doing, she enveloped him in an embracing kiss, it was her turn to sweep him off his feet at his doorway with one of the most incredible kisses he had ever had.

Luke responded, but then realized what was happening, and pushed himself away, he didn't want to be the "other man", he wanted to be the only man.

"Lorelai! What the hell do you think you're doing?! You're MARRIED!"

"No-Luke, you don't understand! I'm not! Chris figured everything out! He knew I was still in love with you, god damnit I am! I love you, Luke! As much as I tried to deny it, I am!"

"…I don't know if I can do this, Lorelai…"

"……Please, Please, Luke, give me a chance. You know the old saying, 'third time's a charm', right?"

"In some cases, just let me think it over, you're too quick for answers!"

"I need answers! I'm ALL IN Luke! I'm ALL IN! Do you hear me?"

"Yes, I told you I was all in, and I meant it! I still am, Lorelai, I still am. No matter how hard I tried to erase you from my mind, I just can't erase such a coffee-addict, crazy woman, the woman whom I love, from my mind, it's just too hard, so of course, I'm all in too, and always will be."
