*** I do not own Gilmore Girls or the characters or anything related to it except maybe the DVDS but anyways... like all of you now it all came from the brilliant mind of Amy Sherman-Palladino.. If I owned Gilmore Girls the world would be so sweet ***
She laid there using his shoulder as a pillow and his arms wrapped around her protectively maybe to make sure she wasn't gonna leave. She had never felt such peace such comfort and safeness. Not with Max or Jason or even Christopher. She always acted like she was happy but there was always something missing with them she didn't know what it was and she never tried to find out she just knew that with Luke she had whatever "it" was and that is all that mattered to her. She didn't have to act with Luke because she knew she was happy she actually felt it she didn't have to pose a smile and give a kiss without feeling because with Luke everything she did was because she felt it or better yet because she wanted to do them.
Why had it taken her so long to find all this out why did she have to go through all those failed relationships when Luke was right there in front of her. Why did she have to get married to Chris and live a fake life with him, always knowing in the back of her mind that she wanted to be with Luke that she loved Luke. Suddenly she felt him move so she turned around to see him wake up like she had done so many times before.
" Hey" he said feeling butterflies in his stomach something he only felt when he was with Lorelai but he was not going to tell her that the mocking would be endless
" Hey" she said
" So" he said wanting to get her feelings about everything that had happened last night not just them but Rory leaving as well
" last night" she said kind of knowing where he was going
" was a very eventful night" he said trying to make the conversation go deeper
" last night, 45 minutes after last night, 30 minutes after that, and I think 10 minutes before we finally went to sleep" she said trying to add a little humor to the situation
" Aw jeez" feeling embarrassed because it was all true
" last night was the most sad .." she saw him flinch at the word sad " and the most wonderful night I have ever had" she finished seeing his face and his whole body for that matter relax
" really?" he asked still not believing that they were there in his bed wrapped around each other once again
" really" she said reassuringly
" so how do you feel" he said wanting to get her feelings about Rory leaving out of her system
" well I feel tired a little sore in the leg area" she said with a smirk using her hands to point at her legs
" uh huh" he said simply knowing that was her cue to keep going"
" I don't know it's a mix between being proud of her and wanting her to fulfill her dreams, and the feeling I got when I saw her for the first time when she was born. I mean I want her to be happy I just I don't know maybe I am being selfish" she said throwing her hands in the air
" hey " he said making sure they were facing each other
" you are not being selfish"
Those words were all she needed. It was paranormal how he could say something so simple and she would believe it. He had this weird power over her or something then she thought and she realized that the reason she believed him was because she trusted him. She trusted him like no one else , of course not like she trusted Rory but sometimes not even Rory could get her to believe in herself like Luke did. She smiled at him and gave him a kiss.
" thank you" she said looking deeply into his eyes
" for what " he said giving her that same deep look she was giving him
" for being my friend, my guidepost, my shoulder to cry on, my everything." she said tears starting to drop
He noticed and used his thumb to clear a tear from her cheek
" what's this" he said showing her the tear on his finger
" nothing I was just remembering something that Mia told me"
She said
" what" he said really wondering what Mia had told her
" well one time when I barely moved here Rory got sick and since she had never gotten sick and I was new at the whole mom thing I started to freak out so I ran to Mia with Rory in my arms crying and I told her that I had made Rory sick and that I didn't know what to do.. So she touched Rory's forehead and gave her some cold medicine and the medicine worked for a few hours then Rory got worse so I went to get Mia and we took Rory to the hospital, and I was sooo scared Luke and I was crying my eyes out then Mia came up to me and gave me a hug and then she told me when life gives you a thousand reasons to cry demonstrate you have a thousand and one to smile. So when I went to Rory's room I saw that she was breathing normally and she didn't have a fever anymore I smiled and I discovered that Rory was 1 more thing I needed to make me smile."
" so why did you remember that tonight' he said still wondering
' well" she said starting to breath normally again" I was just thinking that tonight the night that Rory left was alone going to be my one thousand reasons to cry…… and then you throw this party for her and I realized that you are now the one thing I need to make me smile. ' she said still looking at him straight in the eye
He smiled and said ' and you are the thousand that help me demonstrate to life that I can smile"
" is this really happening" she said still not believing that she could be this happy even with her daughter being gone for god knows how long
" you know what they say" he said trying to lighten the mood
" and what's that " she said smiling
" third times the charm" he said smiling
" ok " she said getting into her normal routine " now this question is hard to answer and that is why I am asking you so you can answer it"
" very thoughtful of you" he said in his usual sarcastic tone
" Luke this is serious I really need to know this" she said desperate to get an answer… hopefully the answer she wants
" ok since we're doing this whole third times the charm thing" she said confidently then slowly loosing the small amount of confidence she had built up " what are we…. In .. this ..umm relationship thingy…" she said nervously then quickly saying " I mean if this is a relationship" she let out aloud sigh
Luke laughed at her nervousness and said " what do you want to be" he said smiling
" hey what happened to the you answering the question" she said using the infamous Gilmore pout
" I did answer it… with another question" he said knowing that would get her annoyed
" ha ha ha funny" she said sarcastically then got desperate and said " seriously Luke what are we" she repeated her question desperate for an answer
" Lorelai I will be whatever you want to be in this relationship." he said calmly " if you want to just date then we will date, if you want to be boyfriend and girlfriend then we will be boyfriend and girlfriend… and" he said this part a little nervous" and if you want to be more than that then … you know we… can be .. More than…that" he said with a loud sigh
Lorelai though about it for a while she didn't want to just date or go be his girlfriend because she felt that would be taking a step back and she soo desperately wanted to move forward with Luke , she wanted to marry him , and have kids with him, because she loved him and that is all she needed. So then she finally said " I want… to be.. Something.. More" she said waiting for his reaction
" are you sure" feeling stupid for asking that question because that's exactly what he wanted to hear
" Luke I love you, I want to marry you and have kids with you" she said with a hopeful look " the whole package" she finally said " so " she said "do you concur ? "
" dear god yes" he said feeling so happy that they were going to move forward
" good" she said with a smile
" good" he said happy that he got the woman of his dream back
They stayed together like that for a while. Until Luke realized that he had to get to the diner and she of course had to get to the inn. So he started to kiss her on the neck to get her attention.
" mmmm I love when you do that" she said smiling with her eyes closed
" I have to go help Cesar" he said between kisses
" no Cesar's fine she said" starting to really get into the kisses
' and you have to get back to the inn" he said biting her neck a little
" well with what you're doing to me it seems like you want to do the complete opposite and just stay in bed all day" she said grinning her eyes still closed
" it would seem that way yes but its just my way to get your attention" he said in his deep bed voice
" well your doing a great job" she said almost moaning. She turned to him and they started kissing passionately
Once they ran out of air they parted and they looked into each others eyes. She sighed knowing that she really did need to get to the inn
" so shower" she said standing up and giving him her best
Come hither look
He stood up behind her and said " definitely" into her ear which sent a tingle through her entire body
**********************************************************************************************
So once Luke and Lorelai actually talked about their new and improved engagement Lorelai went to the inn wearing her engagement ring. Luke wanted to buy her a new one but she insisted that she loved the original ring and that it had a lot of special memories so she kept it and put it on her finger as the new seal to their engagement
When she got to the inn she made sure that no one saw her ring because the whole town would know her and Luke were engaged and she personally did not want that out right now. So after hours of working she went into the kitchen to go get coffee
" hey Sookie' she said simply
" hey honey how are you feeling" Sookie said concerned about her friend
" oh you know I feel sad but its finally starting to sink in you know" she told Sookie as she held her cup of coffee with her left hand leaving her ring completely visible and of course Sookie noticed it right away
" oh my god " she screamed dropping whatever she was mixing
" what" Lorelai said alarmed putting her left hand to her heart. Then she looked down on it and realized that Sookie had seen her ring " please Sookie don't tell anyone" she said with a pleading look
" you're engaged again" Sookie said giggling " you two finally realized you were made for each other, oh my god im so happy" a smile appeared on Lorelai's face as Sookie showed her excitement at her engagement to Luke
" So spill im dying here" said Sookie eager to hear about Lorelai's reconciliation
" well after you told me that Luke had done the party by himself I went over to the diner to thank him and you know one thing led to another and we kissed. Then after the party he opened up early so Rory and I could eat our last breakfast together, and after I left Rory at the airport I went back to the diner and you know things went on from there" Lorelai said with a shy smile on her face
" oh my god this is soo great I knew you two were going to work things out" Sookie said excited as always
" you know what Sookie" said Lorelai with a serious yet happy look on her face " I think that in the back of my mind I knew that too" she smiled took her coffee and went back to her office
Meanwhile Luke was at the diner as happy as ever and playing over and over in his head what Lorelai had told him the night before. She wanted to marry him and have kids with him only him. He smiled at the thought of a little girl with curly dark hair and bright blue eyes. Of course that little girl was going to have him wrapped around her finger, something her mother would have taught her and all her tricks to get him to do the things she wanted. He thought of Lorelai finally being Mrs. Danes and how she would look carrying his baby. This made him smile all day something he rarely did so that fact got miss patty who had been watching him all day wonder what could possibly have Luke Danes so happy. that's when she saw a particular brown haired girl walk into the diner and she knew that those two had something going on. Then when Lorelai took his hand and led him upstairs she knew and started to call everyone in town to announce that the towns favorite couple was back together.
Upstairs however Luke and Lorelai were completely oblivious to their surroundings all they saw was each other.
" hey " she said with a smile
" hey back" he said leaning in to kiss her
She gladly received the kiss and when they parted for air she looked him in the eye and said in an almost whisper " I missed you"
" I missed you too" he said his hands still wrapped around her waist. He had been thinking about kids all day long their kids in particular. He knew he had April but he had missed out on so much .he had missed out on basically being a father. And since he wasn't getting any younger he thought this was the perfect time for him and Lorelai to maybe have a kid of their own. So he got the nerve told her " hey umm I want to talk to you"
For some reason with those words she went into panic mode, she didn't show it but her heart was beating like crazy so she sort of calmed herself down and said " sure what do you want to talk about" she asked trying to not let her voice shake
He let out a heavy sigh and said " well remember last night when you said that you wanted to marry me and you know have kids" he said the last part a little shaky
Unsure of what he was getting at she just nodded not sure on what to answer
" well I was wondering umm how soon the kids would come into play" he said looking at his feet
A little surprised by the question she asked the question probably anyone would have asked " why" she asked still not knowing where this was headed
" I umm just thought that you know maybe we could speed up that particular part' he said still looking at his feet
" Honey I don't understa…." she finally got it he wanted to have kids with her now so she just let out an " oh"
" I mean only if you want im not setting some sort of mandate I just thought you know it would be nice" he said nervously after her response
Her expression softened and she thought that it would be nice to have a little baby running around especially if it was theirs so she finally said " it would be nice" she smiled
" really" he finally looked up to her
" really" she said smiling taking his face in her hands
" ok' he said with a sigh of relief
" so I have to get back to the inn, but we'll talk about this later" she told him with a sympathetic smile
" yeah we'll talk about this later" he said with a simple nod
" my house" she said simply
" I'll be there" he said
" ok babe see you at home" she told him giving him a quick kiss on the lips
" yeah see you at home" he said smiling
As she walked out she realized how good it felt to tell him again " ill see you at home" she had told that to many guys but it never felt right until she told Luke that because with him it actually felt like a home, and now that they were probably going to try to have kids it felt extremely good.
**********************************************************************************************
Lorelai got home and after a long time she felt happy to be home. When she was with Chris it stressed her out to go home because she had to act like she was happy, and that she loved Chris , now that she was back with Luke her acting days were over. So she walked in put her keys and purse on the table next to the entrance and called out
" Luke I'm home" she walked to the kitchen knowing he would be there
" hey" he said as she got closer and they kissed
" hey" she said after they kissed
She sat on a chair not knowing what to do , she wanted to talk about the kid thing but she didn't know if she should just bring it up or wait for him to. Finally she got the courage ad she went up to him she grabbed his hands and said " so kids huh?"
his mind went directly into panic mode with her statement. Had she changed her mind, did she not want to have kids anymore so he finally said ' well yeah isn't that what we agreed on earlier" he said not looking her straight in the face
She noticed this and grabbed his face with her hands so he could look at her and said ' yeah I was just restating what we previously stated"
His faced relaxed " oh" was all he could say
" can I ask you something" she said wondering why he decided to have kids now when they had barely gotten back together
" why do ask that when you know that even if I say no you're still going to ask me" he said smiling a little bit
" what brought this on" she said ignoring his last comment
" what do you mean" he said
" why the sudden urge to have a kid… I mean im not saying that I don't want it I was just wondering why the hurry' she said now holding his hands
" well I don't know I guess I just didn't want to wait anymore it seems like we have waited forever to be happy to finally be together and I just thought why waste more time, we have already wasted so much time, I just wanted to finally have…"
She interrupted him by saying " our middle"
" yeah , our middle" he said a little embarrassed
She kissed him and said " I love you Luke"
" I love you too" he said they kissed again and when they parted he said " so it doesn't bother you to get pregnant before the wedding"
She nodded " why would it bother me its not like I have never had a child out of wedlock"
" that's true" he said smiling
" so we're trying" she said giddy
" we're trying" he said kissing her
" okay" she said as she led him into the living room
He sat down and she sat on his lap. They stayed there until Lorelai decided to tell him about the pregnancy scare she had 2 years ago
" hey Luke" she said a little nervous to his reaction
" hmmm" he said not wanting to stop this perfect moment
" if I tell you something will you get mad" she said looking at him
" it is never good when you start a conversation like that' he said sitting up
" come on promise you wont get mad" she said scared that her revelation might change his mind about having a baby with her
" ok I promise I wont get mad" he said as he held his right hand up
' well do you remember that party we went to when the inns cover came out" she said
" yeah who could forget that' he said in a naughty voice
" well remember that we were a little loopy and it got primordial" she said repeating what she had told Rory
" oh yeah I remember" he said
" well in our loopiness and primordial ness we kind of forgot something" she said biting her lip from the inside
" Lorelai what on earth are you talking about' he said trying to get her to get to the point
' well see that night we kind of forgot to use protection" she said getting Luke's full attention
" oookkay" he said wanting her to keep going
" so when I started craving apples 2 days later I started to think I was pregnant" she said
" why would you think you were pregnant just because you craved apples" he said confused
" because the only other time I craved apples was when I was pregnant with Rory"
" oh" he said " well why didn't you tell me that you thought you were pregnant" he said
' well see you were the main reason why I freaked out, I mean I thought it was early for us, and then you had made it very clear that you hated kids, I thought that if I told you hey Luke you're gonna be a daddy there would be nothing left but a puff of smoke and a baseball cap spinning on the floor" she said taking a deep breath
" Lorelai I would have not disappeared into thin air just because you were pregnant"
" well yeah I know that now, and you kind of made it clear after I found out I wasn't pregnant when you said what about the kids at the inn" she said " but before that I thought that you would freak out run and leave me to raise another kid by myself"
" Lorelai I would have never ran away from you "
" Luke I know, but at that time I was afraid, I mean Luke I love Rory so much I would give an arm for her ,and not the expression no literally give and arm for, I would have destroyed anyone who would try to harm her , so when she would come up to me and say " mommy where's daddy " my heart would brake and you know when he would come to visit her and she knew that he was going to leave she would tell him " daddy you aren't leaving no more daddy your mine" but he would just leave and leave her crying one day when he was about to leave she gave him a necklace with a locket that had her picture in it an she told him ' this will keep you safe daddy take it with you" and one time she got mad at him and she screamed at him when he was about to leave " you told me that you weren't leaving you lied to me dad I get the point me and mommy are going" I just hated having to explain to her why her dad couldn't stay with us.. Then I guess she kind of git used to it"
" wow" he said feeling surprised because he never really knew in depth the Christopher situation with Rory
She sighed and said " wow is right"
" I cant believe you and Rory went through all that" he said now understanding why she was freaked out
" I guess I didn't tell you because I was afraid I was going to have to go through that again, and it would be even more painful with you because you are the only man I have actually loved " she said with a sigh
" hey" he said as he grabbed her face with his hand so she would face him " as long as you are with me you can be sure that you will never have to go through that again, ever." he said looking into her eyes
" I know" she said more calm now " why do you think I agreed to have a kid with you" she smiled
" I though it was because of the actual baby making stage" he said smiling
" that was part of it yes" she said smiling, she gave him a long passionate kiss and when they parted he asked " what was that for"
She smiled and said " that was for two reasons, number one, because you want to have baby with me, and number two, because I know I wont have to raise a kid all by myself again" she kissed him again
" so how soon does the baby making stage start" he said wanting to get to that stage urgently
" ASAP" she said knowing what he was getting at
" well your wish is my command" he said as he carried her upstairs to the bedroom
*************************************************************************************************
When she woke in the morning she moved slightly and felt that her and Luke were joined together in the most intimate way bodies could be joined . " how did that happen' she asked herself, she turned carefully making sure that they didn't disengage and she woke Luke up
" Luke, wake up" she said moving a little on his erection to get him to wake up
" hhhhhhhhmmmm" was all Luke said
" come on Luke wake up" she said a little louder and moving a little more waking Ernie up instead of Luke and she let out a soft moan feeling him hard inside her
He finally opened his eyes and saw her face right in front of him smiling, and he thought that he had never seen anything more beautiful in his entire life.
She noticed that he was up and told him " so did you have a really good dream or was this intentional"
" what, what are you talking about?" he said still half asleep
She took his hand and put it right where they were joined together
" what the.." was all he said
" my exact same reaction" she said smiling slowly grinding against him
" did you do this" he asked her
She acted like she was hurt and said " no how dare you accuse of such a thing … if you must know I woke up like this" she said folding her arms across her chest
" well .." he said with a devilish grin " then I guess there is nothing left to do then to finish up what our bodies already started" he said laying on top of her
" that seems like the reasonable thing to do" and with that he started to thrust into her slowly at first so they both enjoyed the feeling of each other
" Luke, oh Luke " was all Lorelai could say , she never felt like this with anyone else because Luke was the only one who knew just the right spots to hit, Luke was the only one who knew her body and what she liked
He took her moans as a sign to go faster, so he did and he lifted her leg and put it on top of his shoulder making him go deeper
Lorelai felt like she was melting away she was biting her bottom lip and digging her nails into his back urging him to go faster and harder
Luke was thrusting into her as fast as he could, he had actually never gone this fast but his need for her and her moans were making his necessities grow so he went faster to fill them.
Lorelai was biting her bottom lip so hard it started bleeding but she didn't care, she loved having Luke inside her ,nobody could feel her like Luke it was like they were puzzle pieces and they fit perfectly together. Then she started to feel that tingle she felt in her lower anatomy when she was close and climaxing so she urged Luke more needing him to fill her needs
" oh god Luke faster Luke im so close Luke" this made him go faster until he felt his orgasm nearing as well Lorelai saw this and she told him " Let go babe im right there with you" That was al Luke needed to reach his orgasm and with 3 more thrusts they were both there. Lorelai let go of her bleeding lip to moan Luke's name as she felt him empty inside her, as Luke just grunted as he felt her spasm around his length he kept thrusting into her until he was sure that he was empty and that her orgasm was over, when he stopped thrusting Lorelai pushed him inside her telling him not to stop . He was still very slowly thrusting into her when she got her finger tip and took the blood off of her lip
" you made me cut myself" she said showing him the blood on her finger while he was still thrusting into her
" its not my fault you tried to eat your own lip" he said
" yes it is" she said with a pout then he kissed her and sucked on her bottom lip grimacing at the taste of blood in his mouth
" better" he said
" much better thank you" she said with a smile . He was still pushing himself into her and when he said " ok I need to stop now" and with 4 more thrusts he tried to separate himself from her but she kept him inside her " no don't stop" she said whining
" I have to, I have to go to the diner" he said " and you have to go to the inn"
" no " she said still holding him inside her " ill quit we'll both quit"
" we cant quit we're the owners' he said simply
" oh yeah " she said in defeat
So with that he gave her one final thrust and separated himself from her " im going to take a shower then go make breakfast while you take a shower and get ready" she nodded and she stayed in the bed and got a pillow and put it under her legs. 10 minutes later Luke came out and saw the pillows under her legs and asked not sure why " why do you have pillows under your legs"
" because we're trying to have a baby and they say that putting pillows under your legs after you have sex helps keep… stuff ..in"
" Stuff" he said in a mocking tone
" yeah stuff… you know the stuff you need to get pregnant" she said smiling knowing he was mocking her
He opened the his medicine cabinet ( they had decided to move in together shortly after they got re-engaged) and saw that he forgot his lotion so he had to use her fruity lotion so he opened her medicine cabinet and found a pack of birth control pills. And he wondered if she had barely gone off the pill. So he decided to ask her " Lorelai" he said loud enough so that she could hear him
"what's up" she yelled from the bed
He took a deep breath and asked her " how long do you think it will take for you to get pregnant when you barely got off the pill" he said hoping that didn't sound weird
She went into the bathroom fully dressed and took the box from him and threw it away as she said " Luke I've been of the pill for almost 9 months"
" what" he said surprised that Lorelai had been off birth control for so long
" yeah I went off the pill like around January" she said simply
" but weren't you still… ummm.." he stammered not being able to put the words Christopher and married in the same sentence
Lorelai knew the question so she answered it right away so he wouldn't have to actually say it
" yeah, but it was pretty much over and we were arguing a lot , so we weren't you know" she said looking down at her feet when she said that particular part " so I decided not to take it anymore, and by the next month we were divorced, and since I was single again it didn't make sense for me to keep taking it" she said a little sad so to try and lighten up the mood " but you know this means that the pill is probably out of my system so that will make it easier for me to get pregnant"
" what do you mean out of your system"
" well I didn't take the pill the w hole time we were dating which was like two years, and then I started taking it when we broke up the second time and I well you know" she said realizing that just like Luke she could not put the words Chris and marriage in the same sentence
" ah" he said still not understanding but he wasn't going to let her know that " wait you didn't take the pill when we were together"
She nodded her head and said " no I always left it up to you.. Hence the pregnancy scare of 2005" she said smiling reaching for her toothbrush
" ok now why didn't you use the pill when we were together" he said
She sensed a weird tone in his voice when he asked her that she couldn't sense anything behind it like she usually did but she knew something was there so she finally asked him " why are you upset that I didn't"
He realized that she probably thought that because of the way he asked the question so he answered her immediately " no I'm not upset I was just wondering why you didn't take it with me but you did with Chris"
" I don't know, I guess you were the only guy I felt safe with, you were the only guy that didn't make me think once about using the pill as extra protection, because maybe in the very back of my head I knew that if we pulled a Ross and Rachel it would be fine"
" A Ross and Rachel" he asked confused
" Yeah you know when Rachel gets pregnant even though they used a condom, I don't know maybe I actually wanted that to happen to us , so instead of being excessively careful about protection, I was just careful enough" she said
" I see" he said with a grin on his face
She noticed and playfully punched him on the arm " I didn't tell you all that so you could get cocky you know" she said smiling
" I know" he said smiling and giving her a quick peck on the lips before she went in to take a shower and he went downstairs to cook breakfast
*************************************************************************************************
One month had passed since Luke and Lorelai had decided to start trying and basically it had been a little bit over a month since they were officially back together, and that was the time that Rory had been on the campaign trail. So basically it had been a pretty eventful month at it was gonna get even more eventful. Lorelai had already told Sookie that her and Luke were trying to have a baby, and Sookie made the big mistake of telling Luke that caffeine made it harder to get pregnant leaving Lorelei a little caffeine deprived. So Sookie would sometimes give Lorelai and extra cup of coffee then what she was allowed to drink when Lorelai was having a bad day, and Lorelai only asked her coffee when she was having a bad day because she really wanted to get pregnant unfortunately for Lorelai this was one of those days, and it was about to get worst
" Sookie I need coffee in a vat preferably" Lorelai said as she walked in the kitchen
Sookie gave her a cup of coffee and sat next to her on a stool " oh honey what's wrong" she said knowing that Lorelai only asked for coffee when she was having a bad day and for her to be asking coffee in a vat her day was going really bad
Lorelai sighed and said " well first on the list as always is Michel I swear the stick goes further up his butt everyday, then the mountains of paperwork, etcetera, etcetera. Oh I think im getting claustrophobic because I feel that the walls in my office are getting smaller which for some weird reason is making me nauseous"
" Honey that's not claustrophobia" Sookie said sympathetically
" oh" Lorelai said " well its some kind of phobia" just as she finished saying that her phone started to ring she took it out of her pocket and looked at the caller id and sighed as she saw who it was " and the hits just keep on coming" she said to Sookie as she answered the phone . Sookie looked at her confused until she answered the phone and she knew who it was " Hi dad" Lorelai said not in the mod to deal with her parents. They had been getting along lately but she hadn't told them about Luke and she knew that once she told him the good feelings would be gone. Sookie goes back to what she was doing before Lorelai came into the kitchen and turns around quickly when she hears Lorelai say a loud
" what" Lorelai however didn't notice as she was dealing with the news her father had just given her " ok dad calm down where are you" Sookie was now staring intently at Lorelai wondering what had happened. By this time Lorelai was now staring at Sookie with a worried expression and teary eyes, " ok dad I'll be right there" she hung up the phone and got of the stool as fast as she could
" what happened" Sookie asked her as she saw how Lorelai was reacting to the news she had just received
Lorelai stopped what she was doing for a second as she turned to Sookie and said " my mom was in a car accident" she said slowly and painfully as it hit her that her mom could die once she realized that she got back to her quick pace and told Sookie " I have to go"
She got to the hospital and saw her dad pacing in the waiting room
" dad" she said glad to see him, not hurt and worried, but she was happy that he was there. He turned around and saw Lorelai he walked up to her and she walked up to him they hugged. They had hugged before but never like this Lorelai never felt anything when she hugged her parents especially her dad but this time she felt how much he needed her and how much she needed him. They parted and she asked " so what happened how's mom"
" I don't know, all these morons have told me is that she was in a car accident and that she went into emergency surgery"
" ok well how long ago was that, did they tell you how long it was going to take" Lorelai said wanting to control the situation, out of habit she always had to be the strong one when bad things happened, wonder woman as Rory called her
" well I have been here for about 30 minutes and when I got here they had already taken her into surgery they told me it was going to take a few hours but they didn't give me a number, incompetent morons" Richard said being more angry at himself than at the doctors and nurses
" dad calm down" she said sitting down since there was nothing else to do
" I will not calm down Lorelai, my wife of over 40 years is in surgery and I can't do anything about it" he said starting to pace around. Lorelai felt good to know how much their parents loved each other, they rarely showed any affection towards each other, and sometimes it looked that they had no communication whatsoever, yet here was her dad worrying about her mom, and she remembered that her mom was in the same position when her dad was in the hospital
" I know that dad but you freaking out about it isn't doing anything either, why don't you just sit down, or at least stop pacing because you're making me dizzy"
Richard sat down and put his face in his hands " I cant do this Lorelai" he said
" what sit down because I think you're doing pretty well"
" I am not as strong as your mother, I can't handle the fact that I might lose her Lorelai" he said starting to sob
" dad" was all Lorelai could say, she always saw her dad as this man who was affected by nothing, and no one , as a statue that was so strong that even if the whole world came tumbling on top of him he would not budge he would stay standing, and here he was crumbling down into dust because of one person
Richard saw himself crumbling in front of his daughter, his only daughter who was probably feeling the same way he was. So he decided that his little girl needed her dad, so he got himself together turned to Lorelai and put his hand on her knee Lorelai looked up at him, and she saw the love he had for her, the love that was rarely shown to her, and she put her hand on top of his knowing her dad had rebuilt himself for her, she had her statue back
He looked down at her hand and saw her ring and he knew that it was the ring that Luke had given her so he said " so you and Luke"
" How did you…" and before she could finish he lifted up her hand to show her " oh yeah" she said with a smile
" I'm sure your mother will be happy to hear it… I know I am" Richard said squeezing her hand " he makes you happy and he loves you and Rory , that is all that matters"
" he does love me and he does make me happy" Lorelai said teary eyed
" you know I never liked your marriage with Christopher, he didn't make you happy, you didn't love him"
" I didn't love him I tried to make myself think that I did but I didn't"
" it was noticeable.. When you were with Luke you had this gleam, in your eyes, his happiness this glow, with Christopher that glow and gleam started to fade from your eyes, and instead of seeing happiness in your eyes I saw sadness. Your mother and I know that Luke is the one for you ,and I am very happy for you"
" thank you daddy" she said almost crying
Richard sighed and said " well since it seems that this may take a while what do you say if we go to the cafeteria"
" I am kind of hungry, but I'll stay here in case they need one of us, you go. I need to call Luke and Rory anyway"
" all right then , do you want anything coffee"
" umm bring me something fruity" said Lorelai
" very well" Richard said as he left to go to the cafeteria
Lorelai was glad that her and her dad had this breakthrough, she was sad that it happened because her mom was in the hospital but she was glad that it happened. So she called Rory and told her what had happened, Rory automatically freaked but Lorelai reminded her how stubborn her grandmother was and that there was no way that she would let death come to her when she had a DAR meeting that Saturday afternoon. Rory agreed and said that she would call whenever she had the chance. Then she called Luke, she really wanted him there, she needed someone that she didn't have to be strong for, someone who she could cry to, and that someone was Luke so she dialed the familiar number and felt more calm knowing who was gonna answer the phone
" Luke's" she heard him say
" hey its me" she said trying to hold back her tears
" oh hey……wait why are you calling me" Luke asked her, he asked her because if she had something to tell him she would just come to the diner and tell him there
Lorelai was very sensitive so she took that the wrong way and got angry at him " what I cant call you now" she said in an angry voice
" what no Lorelai I never said that I was just wondering because you usually just come into the diner"
Lorelai felt stupid for getting mad at him because he was right she usually just went into the diner to tell him anything so she sighed into the phone " sorry its just that I'm at the hospital"
Luke went into panic mode, had something happened to her " what, why what happened"
" umm my mom was in a car accident, she's in emergency surgery right now, and I'm scared Luke I'm really scared" she said crying
" ok what hospital are you at " he said
" Boston Memorial" she said between sniffs
" I'll be there in ten minutes" he said
" ok thank you" she said as she hung up and took a deep breath
15 minutes later Luke was at the hospital he went in and saw Lorelai so he went up to her. She turned around and saw him and stood up and practically ran to him and hugged him and started crying into his chest
" hey, its ok everything will be ok" was all he could say, he knew the pain of losing your parents and he did not want Lorelai to go through that pain. He took her to sit down and once they did she got more calm
" so what happened" he asked her
" we don't know all they said was that she was in a car accident and that she had to go into emergency surgery"
" where's your dad" he asked looking around for him
" oh he went to the cafeteria, he'll be back soon"
" does Rory know"
" yeah I called her before I called you" she was happy that he was there and she was happy to see how much he cared, her mother had not been the nicest person to him and here he was making sure that everything was ok. At that moment Richard came back with a cup of coffee and an apple juice.
" Lorelai , this is as close to your fruity request I could find" he said handing her the apple juice
" thank you this is just what I needed" she said taking the apple juice that's when Richard saw Luke sitting next to her
" Luke my boy, I didn't know you were coming or I would have brought you something" said Richard reaching out to greet Luke
Luke stood up and shook his hand still dumbfounded that the apple juice was for Lorelai and not the coffee " Mr. Gilmore sir nice to see you again, and you didn't have to bring me anything" as Luke sat down he saw Lorelai drinking the juice and he was confused because she had the same face she had when she is drinking coffee meaning that she was really enjoying it. So he reached over to her and told her " the apple juice was for you"
Lorelai smiled at the question he just asked and said " no it was for my imaginary friend Mrs. Vanuppen…. Of course it was for me Luke otherwise I wouldn't be drinking it" she said as she took another drink
" but its apple juice" he said still confused
" yeah and"
" you do know that an apple is a fruit right so that would make the juice healthy"
" I know" she said simply knowing that this was bugging him
" but you don't eat healthy food, in fact the word healthy for you is what the word "mom" is to Lenina"
" ok look I didn't want coffee and even if I did I cant have anymore coffee today, and I was craving something fruity, preferably something fruity that was apple flavor and my dad here thought that would be the case and he brought me an apple juice" she explained
Luke just stared at her until he said " really?"
" yes really" she said getting a little annoyed
At that moment a nurse came out and said " Emily Gilmore's family members" they all stood up and the nurse said " are all of you family" Lorelai hated when nurses asked that because if you weren't family why would you stand up so she said " yes we are umm im her daughter and this is my dad" she said pointing to Richard " what about him" the nurse said looking at Luke
" oh he's my fiancé" said Lorelai
" ok well Ms. Gilmore has a broken ankle, a broken wrist she fractured her neck, she cracked 2 ribs, and she suffered a mild concussion. Now the surgery to fix the fractures in her neck and her ribs was successful but she had a bad reaction to the anesthesia, so she is now in a coma I'm sorry"
Once Lorelai heard the word coma she felt like the world around her was spinning, she could not imagine her mother in a coma, Emily Gilmore one of the strongest woman she has ever met, probably stronger than her was in a coma. She was glad that Luke was behind her because she felt her legs give out and if Luke had not been behind her holding her waist she would have passed out right there and then. She heard her dad and the nurse argue but she couldn't make out what they were saying the only word that she kept hearing in her head was coma she finally got out of her daze and interrupted her dad and the nurse and said " can we see her"
" well she's in intensive therapy and she's in a very delicate state so the doctor recommends that no one sees her right now" said the nurse
Lorelai was getting annoyed at this nurse and she let her know it by saying " well I recommend that you tell the doctor that he will let us see my mother unless he wants his reputation to go down the drain for making Emily Gilmore fall into a coma and possibly have his ass sued for not anticipating that a patient could have a bad reaction to the anesthesia" the nurse went to go tell a doctor and came back a minute later " the doctor will let you see her now" said the nurse in a nervous tone
Lorelai put on a fake smile and said " thank you" as they walked to the room
Luke went up to her ear and said " how did you do that"
" I think it's a gene that comes with the last name, and the fact that I learned from my mother" she said smiling knowing that her mother would be proud of her for telling off that nurse
When they got to the room they all stood in front of the door frozen, neither of them ready to see Emily Gilmore in a hospital bed. Richard told Lorelai that he was going to go first Lorelai just nodded. Her and Luke waited outside the door in silence. Luke was holding Lorelai protectively letting her know that he was there for her. Lorelai turned towards the entrance of the intensive therapy entrance and sighed, then she closed her eyes, for a minute and when she opened them she saw Chris walking towards her she blinked and saw him come closer so she said " Chris" Luke immediately turned and saw him come towards them he started fidgeting in his seat until Lorelai stood up , so he stood up behind her. Finally Chris was right in front of them and he said " hey Lore"
Luke put his arm around Lorelai's waist protectively. Lorelai was surprised to see him there so she asked him " Chris what are you doing here, first of all how did you get in here"
" well your dad mixed up our numbers and he called my cell by mistake, now getting back here was easy all I had to do was ask for your mom and a nurse went running towards the door opened it for me and let me in" Chris said
Lorelai smiled and winked at Luke
" so what happened to her" Chris said with probably fake interest
" oh well she was in a car accident, and she has some broken bones and she's in a coma right now because she had a bad reaction to the anesthesia" Lorelai said almost crying
" oh Lore im so sorry, are you ok, do you need anything, im here for you Lore" Chris said acting like he actually cared
Luke had been staring at Chris the whole time and when he heard him say all those things about being here for her he couldn't help but say under his breath " should've been here when you were married and her dad was in the hospital"
Lorelai heard him say something and turned around to him and said " what hon"
" oh nothing" Luke said simply, Lorelai didn't hear him but Chris did, and he got mad when he heard Lorelai call Luke "hon"
Luke saw the anger in Chris's face so he hugged Lorelai's waist more Lorelai noticed this and she understood why Luke was doing it, she knew she would do the same thing if Rachel, Anna, or Nicole were anything like Chris, but he was squeezing her to hard so she took her (left) hand and made move loosen his grip. The sparkle of the ring caught Chris's eye and he got more mad
" So Lore, engaged already huh" he said in a harsh tone
" what" was all Lorelai could say
" you're really good at going to your ex's when your relationships fail, so what if it doesn't work this time you go back to the Max guy" Chris said angry
" Chris what the hell is wrong with you" said Lorelai obviously hurt
" what's wrong with me what the hell is wrong with you Lorelai, we get divorced and you run to his arms"
" I didn't run to his arms, and even if I did why would you care like you said we're divorced"
" I care because you are my kid's mother"
" oh Chris don't use Rory as an excuse" she said extremely angry that he would use Rory to try and defend his stupidity
" I'm not using her as an excuse she's my daughter" Chris said angry
" Chris Rory is only your daughter when it benefits you, but we all know that you have never been a true father to Rory"
" oh really and what he has" Chris said pointing at Luke. Luke was getting mad and Lorelai knew because she felt him squeeze her waist and he kept switching from one foot to the other
" yes he has, he has been there for Rory more times in the past 11 years that you have her entire life"
" im sure he has" Chris says in a sarcastic tone
" he has Chris, he was there when you weren't he did the things you didn't do."
" oh yeah like what"
" he was there when her pet caterpillar died and she was inviting people to its funeral, you weren't, he was there to help me on her first day of Chilton, you weren't, he was there when she got her first D, you weren't, he was there when she got first kiss, you weren't, he was there when she broke up with Dean the first time, and the second time, you weren't and the third time, he was there at her high school graduation, you weren't, he was there when she started college, you weren't, after we met him he was there for each and everyone of her birthdays , you weren't, he was there when she quit Yale, you weren't, he was there when she went back to Yale, you weren't, he was there when she had all those problems with Logan , you weren't. do you need more or were the first five enough" she said breathing hard
" what about the things I did do, the things I was there for"
Chris said angry because he was loosing to Luke
" ok lets go over those to, you made Rory cry, he didn't, you gave Rory fake promises, he didn't, you hurt Rory, he didn't, you lied to Rory, he didn't, you made Rory feel that you bailed on her all the time, he didn't, you would come and see her 3 days and then leave for who knows how long, he has never left her alone, every time we were in a relationship and it failed you hurt Rory, he didn't, the both times we broke up all the fights we had before that his attitude towards Rory never changed, so Chris give up yet"
" ok fine I accept all those things, but if Rory has been hurt in our relationships it isn't because of me, because you know I love you she knows I love you"
" Chris you don't love me ,you love the 16 year old me who would do all those crazy things just to get her parents mad, you love the rebelling , immature, teenager that was me"
" that's not true, Lore I love you"
" Chris how can you love me when you now anything about me, you know the young Lorelai, but you don't know this Lorelai the adult Lorelai"
" I married you so I could get to know the adult Lorelai"
" but that's not what marriage is Chris, a marriage is when two people love each other , know each other, and understand each other enough that you can live with them for the rest of your life Chris that is what a marriage is."
" well I loved you"
" but I didn't love you, I knew you, but I didn't understand you most of the time, and you didn't know me either and you never understood me, and for the last time you don't love ME" she said annoyed that he wouldn't understand and her anger made her feel dizzy so she involuntarily took a few steps back then she grabbed on to Luke's arm with one hand and put her other hand on her forehead
Luke immediately went to her aid once she felt her take a few steps back he grabbed her with both arms and said " Lorelai , Lorelai are you ok"
She looked up at him and smiled and said "yeah I just got a little lightheaded that's all"
Chris couldn't believe it
Luke felt Lorelai take his arms off from her waist
" Chris , just stay out of my life, stay out of Rory's life, just leave Chris" she yelled at him
" but Lore" Chris said. And none of them knew that Richard had heard everything from inside the room ad when he finally got tired of hearing Chris's crap he came out and said " she said leave Christopher"
" Richard but"
" now Christopher" he said raising his voice " I don't want you near my daughter, my granddaughter, and my son in law" said Richard standing next to Luke
Chris just stood there gave them an "evil" look and left
Lorelai let out a sigh putting her hand to her forehead and said
" thank you dad"
" yeah thank you sir" said Luke
" please you don't have anything to thank me for" said Richard with a sigh
" so how is she" said Lorelai sitting down since she was feeling a little dizzy again
" well" Richard said not knowing how to put it and then he finally said "she's not Emily"
Lorelai looked down at her dad seeing the pain in his eyes " you know dad if she had anything she needed to take care of or if you have anything to take care of I can do it"
" no Lorelai your mother took care of all my things when I was in the hospital it only makes sense that I reciprocate her actions" Richard said simply
" ok" Lorelai said knowing that just like her mom didn't want to see her dad fallen down on a hospital bed he didn't want to see her mom fallen down on a hospital bed
" you stay here and look over your mother I'll be back as soon as I can so you can go home"
" dad take all the time you need me and mom aren't going anywhere" she said squeezing his hand
" very well then" he said before he left. Once he left Lorelai let her guard down she fell into the bench and Luke sat next to her . When he did she used his chest as a pillow and closed her eyes. He was rubbing circles on her arm until he said " so are you feeling better" he said still worried about her dizziness
She turned her head and smiled " yeah im feeling better" she said taking in a deep breath
" are you sure" he said knowing that sometimes she wouldn't tell him the whole truth to not worry him
" yes im sure, it was probably the stress and maybe my blood sugar got low or high or both but im good now I promise" she said kissing him " but you know what would make me feel better"
" what" he said
" another apple juice"
" ok I'll be back, are you gonna be ok alone" he said worried
" yeah I have to " she said pointing at the door with her head
" right" he said he gave her a small kiss and he left. She made sure that he actually left before she finally entered the room. She went in and saw her mother, the great Emily Gilmore completely immobile except for her chest going up and down because of her breathing. She looked pale she had so many wires coming out of her body, and all the different things that were hooked up to her body through her arm giving her giant bruises. Lorelai covered her mouth and went over to sit at a chair that was next to her mothers bed. Her dad was right it wasn't Emily. She took her mothers hand very carefully trying not to hurt all the Ivs . She carefully kissed the top of her hand and started crying. Then she said " I know that in the movies they always say that coma patients cant hear you, but then it turns out they can hear you so im going to give this a chance ok" she let out a sigh " I wanted to see your expression when I told you this but I guess I cant huh…. Well umm Luke and I got back together, we are engaged again and mom I promise you this time its going to work, I am finally going to have my whole package, you know Luke and I decided to start trying to have a baby, yeah you are going to get a new grandchild, and you will be there from the beginning, you will see them walk and talk for the first time and whatever you missed seeing with Rory. We were planning on getting married December 7th, and I need you the perfect party planner to plan my wedding in such short time notice……but mom you are gonna have to wake up to help me, you are going to have to wake up to see your new grandchild, you know ………… I need you, I want you to see my baby, I want you to hold it, come on mom you are the strongest woman I know where do you think I got it from, you are not going to let some incompetent doctor ruin your chance of meeting your new grandchild right………… mommy wake up, I need you mommy, I know I don't act like I do but I do , I really do, I love you mom, and I know im the worst daughter in the planet and you probably thought that I would be making a party right now….but I ….. Just wake up mom…… don't do this to me or dad….. We need you , Rory needs you…..I need you, ive always needed you, and I always will need you… you're my mommy, I need my mommy…………if this is gods way of punishing me for being a bad daughter.. Im sorry …… im sorry for making you suffer so much……im sorry…… just… wake up . Damn it wake up……….. Wake up" she said the last wake up as she put her head on her mothers hand " mommy…… just….. Come… on ..please wake up mommy…. Please" she said sobbing into her mothers hand. As she says this we see Emily's face with tears running down and she gently squeezes Lorelai's hand. Lorelai felt it she thought she just imagined it so she looks up at Emily's face and sees the tears. She goes up to he face takes the tears away from her eyes and kisses her cheek and says " thank you mommy"
Then she heard Luke come in, and she turned around
" hey" he said in almost a whisper " how is she"
Lorelai just shrugged her shoulders not knowing what to say. Luke came up to her and hugged her , and she let out all of her fears ,she knew she could always do that with Luke. " Luke I don't want to.." Luke interrupted her and said " you're not" he said she looked up to him and said " how do you know" he looked in her eyes and said " I just know". she knew deep inside he was right because he had been right about so many other things, like the night in the diner when he told her that she was going to get her whole package and now she was going to finally have it with him.
" how did you do it" she asked him
" do what" he wasn't really sure of what she was talking about
" handle this your parents in a hospital, and you not being able to do anything about it"
" well a lot of denial went into it……..but then I just had to face the fact that they were never going to get out of there so I had to suck it up for my sake an for Liz's sake"
" oh" she said feeling bad about the part where he had to face the fact that his parents were never going to leave the hospital and she felt the same way at the moment
" hey the not leaving the hospital part was me ok its not you it will never be you okay"
She smiled at this because Luke could once again sense how she felt without asking her and she said " okay" she sighed and then she asked him
" so is that why you hate hospitals so much because you had to spend a lot of time in one"
" pretty much" he said hugging her
" Thank you" she said smiling up at him
" for what" he asked
" for being here with me even though You hate hospitals " she kissed him and when they separated she said " I love you"
" I love you too" he said sincerely
" no" she said
" I don't love you" he asked wondering what the hell she was talking about
" no I mean yes you do but I need you to know that when I tell you that I love you I don't say it out of habit or to make conversation I say it to let you know that you are the best thing that ever happened to me"
" I know" he said simply
" you do" she asked hopeful
" yes because that is exactly how I feel every time I tell you that I love you"
She smiled at him
