What if the table were turned? And Luke was the one that moved to Stars Hallow with a baby, and Lorelai ran the diner?
Chapter 1
A young man who looks about the age of 18, is riding on a city bus. He is just staring out of the window with a lost look on his face.
As he looks out the window and sees a sign that says: "Welcome to Stars Hallow."
He turned to a car seat beside him and said, "Welcome to our new home baby girl. That car seat next to him just happened to be holding his 3 month old daughter.
After the bus dropped him off he looked around but a few seconds later him stomache started to rumble. So he turned to his left and find say two signs, one for "William's Hardware," and one for "Lorelai's Diner." So he just decides to check it out. He grabs his bags and the car seat and walks into the diner and sits at a table.
Not too long before a young women approached him. "Hey, are you knew here?" the young girl asked.
"Uhh... Yeah." Who is this girl?
"That's cool, I'm Lorelai, and this is my diner, so what can I get you?" He is kinda cute, and with his little... sister...neice...cousin...daughter, no not daughter he's too young.
"I'm Luke, and I take uh... aCeaser salad, with Italian dressing, and a glass of tea."
"Aright, your food will be out in a minute."
"Thanks."
While he was waiting, the baby started to fuss, then the fuss became a cry.
Luke picked up his daughter and began to rock her gently while softly murmuring to her.
"Ssssshhhh baby, it's okay, come on Rory, sssshhhh. It's okay, I'm here, daddy'e here."
During this scene the diner quieted and watched the scene unfold before them. A young man with baby, his baby.
A few seconds later, Lorelai approached again.
"Hey Luke, I have an apartment upstairs, take her up there. You can change her or feed her, or whatever needs to be done." Okay I was wrong it was his daughter, but he is still good looking.
"Okay."
"Come on, I show you."
"Alright get back to your meals nothing to see here." Lorelai yelled. Sometimes this town, I swear. They think everything is their business.
Lorelai grabs the bags, and Luke grabbed the car seat, and follows her past the counter, and up the stairs. They enteran apartment, and Lorelai deposits the bags on the floor by the door and Luke does the same with the car seat.
"Can I help you with anything?" Rory's crys still have not stopped, but gotten louder.
"Yeah, can you put some water in a bottle and heat it?" He grabs a bottle out of the diaper bag and hands it too her.
"Yeah." As Lorelai fixes that, Luke still tries to get Rory to calm down.
"Sssshhh sweatheart, your bottle's almost ready, sssshhhh, come on baby, ssshhh." Come on this girl is gonna think I'm an idiot and incapable of getting my baby to quiet down.
"Were's the formula?"
"In the diaper bag."
Lorelai proceeds to fix the bottle, then hands it to Luke, who immediately places it in Rory's mouth, and her crys start to subside.
After a while, the only sound in the apartment is the gentle sucking sounds of the baby feeding. So Luke decided to say something, he really doesn't like silences.
"Sorry about this." Man this is weird.
"It's fine, I just didn't think you would want the whole town watching you." He has his hands full. He can't be any older than I am, and with a kid. A little girl at that.
"No not really, thank you. Hey how did you know how to fix the bottle. I mean, I'm thankful,but I'm just wondering."
"My younger sister has a kid. He is about a year old now."
"Oh."Okay, she may not thinkI'm horrible cause I have a kid. Her younger sister has a child.Which is good, because she is pretty, I haven't really noticed how beautiful she was with all the commotion.
"How about you, what brings you to Stars Hallow?" He's not the only person who can ask questions.
"WellI live in Hartford. In this uptight society, and I couldn't stand it. So I left." I HATED it there. It sucked.
"I don't mean to be rude, but where's the mother?" I hope he doesn't hate me for asking all these questions.
Geeze what is with all the questions? But I guess if she is letting me in her apartment, she deserves some answers. "She's not the motherly type, once she found out she was pregnant, she went to get rid of the baby, but I stopped her. So after this little one was born, she took off and left me to take care of her."
"You are a good person then." He is a great person,and a cute person. I don't know if I could raise a baby by myself.
"Thanks, it is hard sometimes though, and my mother wanted to raise her, a way I didn't want her to be raised, so I left." Man am I in a sharing mood or what?
"That sucks, where are you staying?"
"I really don't have a place to stay yet, but I was gonna see if this town has an Inn or something. Does it?"
"Yeah, but you can stay here."
"Oh, I couldn't inpose."
"You won't, I offered."
"But you don't know me, and she gets up a couple times a night, I don't want to interfear."
"You won't, you are staying, end of discussion."
"Okay thanks." She is bossy and beautiful, I like it.
"No problem."
Luke looked down at his daughter, took the bottle, and burped her.
"Do you want to hold her?"
"Yeah sure."
Lorelai took Rory in her arms and looked at her.
"She's adorable, just like her father."
Luke just ducked his head and blushed. Yeah well you are gorgeous. She would slap me and throw me out ifI said that. A few second later Rory was asleep. So Lorelai took her and laid her down on her bed and covered her with a baby blanket.
"Thanks."
"Not a problem. Oh I forgot, your food and tea, I'll go it, you must be hungry, or you wouldn't have come in here in the first place."
"Alright."
Lorelai walked downstairs.
Man she is beautiful, and nice. She is letting me stay here, and likes my kid. But she looks 18 and doesn't want a boyfriend with a kid. I'll have to wait.
He is fine. And he is staying with me. He is so cute, and sweet, but he doesn't want a girlfriend right now. He probably thinks nobody wants a boyfriend with a kid, but she is adorable. I don't mind. But I will have to wait.
