If you need me
Or 5 times people reacted to Luke and Lorelai's elopement and 1 time they celebrated it.
PS: Takes place after my previous story 'On the next train'.
Notes:
"Words" – regular conversation
'Words' – quotes and such, thoughts too
1 – Rory
Rory was sitting around in the apartment she had shared with Logan when her mother called. She sighed, a little tired from the party and saying goodbye to her boyfriend, and hoped her mother was able to cheer her up a little.
"Hey, mom"
"Hi babe!" – the woman exclaimed in a voice that way more cheerful and happy and light than usual. Rory perked up and couldn't help but smile, feeling a little better already.
"Is everything okay?"
"Everything is more than okay! Okay, are you ready?"
"I think I am"
"Are you sitting down?"
"I am sitting down. Not what's up!"
"Okay, okay" – Lorelai obviously took a deep breath – "LukeandIelopelastnight" – she rushed and Rory frowned.
"I'm sorry, could you say that again? I'm sure that wasn't even English, mom"
"For God's sake, Lorelai" – Rory could hear Luke say in the background.
"No, you're driving, don't grab my phone. Stop it! Eyes on the road, mister. Hey, babe"
"Mom?"
"Yeah. Okay, let's try this again" – Lorelai did her usual poor drumming sound – "Luke and I. We eloped last night and we're going away for the weekend for a tiny honeymoon"
Rory's jaw dropped and she just– She stopped. Then she got up and started jumping up and down and squealing into the phone.
"Mom! I can't believe it! Oh my God, you got married?!"
"We got married! Luke made an honest woman out of me!"
"Aw! I wish I could've been there! Oh my God, you have to tell me everything! Wait, where are you going?"
"Martha's Vineyard, we found a little inn to stay in"
"That's great. Now, details, details! Oh, oh, congratulations you two! God, I can't believe I forgot to say that!"
"It's okay, babe, lot of emotions going around"
"You're telling me. Luke! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you two!"
"Thank you, Rory" – the man said in his usual gruff voice, but she could hear the happiness in there too.
"Now tell me everything! How did it happen, where did you do it? Was there anyone else there? Who was there with you? Oh, did you wear your dress? Tell me, tell me, tell me!" – Rory begged, eager to listen to her mother talk about it for the next few days, she was so happy for them.
Luke was her stepfather now. She had a stepfather. Her mom was married to the most wonderful man, and by God, she wanted every last detail and she would make her mom repeat all of them in person!
Oh boy, she couldn't wait to hug them and congratulate them in person!
