"Coffee" said Lorelai to Will who was sitting on her lap. Will just had a perplex look on his face. "Coffee" Will giggled. "Coffee"
"fee!" Will giggled.
"Coffee" Lorelai corrected.
"ofee"
"Close enough, lets go" Lorelai picked him up and they walked towards the diner. While they were walking. "Ok so 'what do you want?' silence coffee"
"ofee!"
"What do you want? Coffee" Lorelai insisted.
"ofee!" screamed Will and then giggled.
"Aw you're so cute, so 'what do you want?'" she asked again now that they were approaching the diner.
"ofee!" Will was very happy, and Lorelai was proud.
"You're a very smart boy!" Lorelai tickled him, and they entered the diner. Lorelai sat on a stool and sat Will on the counter facing her. Luke came out of the storage room a while later.
"I thought I already told you, use a booster seat" he said walking behind the counter.
"Well hello to you two" she said sarcastically to him while grabbing Will and sitting him on her lap facing Luke.
"Sorry, hi!" he said and leaned for a quick kiss. When he pulled back he asked "So What do you want?"
"Ofee!" yelled Will, Lorelai hid her smile and Luke had a shock face.
"Lorelai!" Luke growled she just laughed.
"Ofee!" giggled Will at which Lorelai laughed harder, Luke gave her a deadly stare.
"Sorry, but in my defense he sounds so cute"
"No he doesn't!"
"Aw don't be cranky" he let out a sigh and walked to the kitchen. After she had breakfast Lorelai was of to the inn, leaving Will at the diner. She was gonna be back to have lunch with Rory.
"Please stop?" asked Luke.
"Ofee!" Will giggled.
"Aw that's cute" said Rory walking in.
"Don't you start, or I'll take your coffee also" Luke threatened. Rory made a shock face.
"Ok, I'm sorry. Coffee please?" he went behind the counter and handed Will to her. "Who thought you to say that?" she asked Will in a baby voice.
"Who do you think?" said Luke while handing her the coffee.
"Mom huh?" he nodded. "Well its good to know I'm not the only one having a crapy day" she said taking a sip of her coffee.
"Why? What's wrong?" Lorelai enter the diner.
"Gah!" she let out with a loud sigh and dropped herself on a stool next to her kids.
"Looks like we're not the only ones" said Rory. Luke nodded and walked up to her.
"What do you want?" he asked her.
"Ofee!" yelled Will from Rory's lap, the girls laughed.
"What he said" said Lorelai between laughs.
"No"
"What! Why?" asked Lorelai not laughing any more.
"For teaching him that" he said and turned for the kitchen, she got up and followed.
"Oh but I really need coffee today"
"You always say that" he said seriously.
"But today I really mean it" she whined.
"And why's that?" he started walking back into the diner with two plates Lorelai was carrying one.
"Remember the wedding?"
"The one you're having in the inn the one you haven't stopped talking for a week or more?" he asked sarcastically while they set the plates down.
"Yes"
"Ok then yes I remembered"
"Remember the wedding is for twin girls right?"
"With really different taste?" she nodded. "Then yes I remember"
"Ok then if that wasn't annoying enough, they are marrying twin boys!" he stop in his tracks.
"What!" asked Luke while turning, Rory was also shocked.
"Just like you heard, so I've been dealing with twin girls, who don't get along, twin guys, who are chickens when it comes to the wedding, and Michel, who well you know how he is, and now he is worse cuz' of all the twins stuff" Lorelai explained in one breath while Luke poured her a mug of coffee.
"Here, you're right you really need it" he said handing her the mug.
"Hey can I have more?" asked Rory pushing the mug towards Luke.
"Depends"
"On what?"
"Why was your day so crapy?" Luke asked and Lorelai quickly turned her head towards Rory.
"It was crapy?" asked Lorelai.
"Well, they told me that I need to get a sport and play in a team or… well… I don't know, but it cant be good. So I need to learn a sport and play in a team… by Monday"
"This Monday?" asked Lorelai. Rory nodded. "Wow that sucks"
"Here" Luke handed Rory her mug it was full now. "And its not that bad" he said leaning on the counter.
"What!" the both of them asked in unison.
"I'll teach you a sport" he offered.
"Really?" asked Rory.
"Yeah, just pick one"
"Aw you're so sweet" said Lorelai while pinching Luke's cheek. He glared at her deadly. "Sorry, you're not sweet you're bitter"
"Lorelai!"
"Fine I'll stop" she grabbed Will from Rory and started making faces to him which made him laugh.
"So?" asked Luke.
"Fine, if I have to learn one, you might as well be my teacher"
"Why thanks I feel so flattered" he said sarcastically.
"Sorry I didn't mean it that way" she saw him smirk. "Luke!" he smiled "Mom Luke tricked me!" Rory whined.
"I'm busy right now baby, so suck it up and join the club" she said in a baby voice, which amused Will and he giggled.
"Mean!" Rory pouted.
"So what sport did you have in mind?" Luke asked Rory seriously now.
"I don't care. You pick one, since you're the teacher"
"You don't even have one you like!" Luke was shocked.
"We don't know nothing about sports honey" Lorelai confessed.
"Apparently. So you don't know anything!" he asked shocked.
"I know what a ball is!" Rory said excitedly.
"Ha! I know what a homerun is" Lorelai bragged.
"That's not something you should brag about Lorelai" Luke said holding back a smile. Lorelai just stuck her tong out at him.
"Ok then I want to learn about the homerun sport" Rory said proudly and Luke's jaw just dropped.
"It's called baseball and that's Luke's favorite sport, he used to play" Lorelai bragged.
"Ok then you're gonna be a great baseball teacher" Rory told Luke but he was still in the same shock position.
"Honey, breath" said Lorelai. He did as told.
"Ok umm after dinner go do your homework and I'll be home around 5:30 and we can start then" he told Rory, she nodded.
"Aw you're so fatherly today" Lorelai mocked him.
"Lorelai…"
"Yeah" she flashed her eyelashes towards him.
"So what are you guy's gonna eat?" he said with a smirk.
"Hey! You're not supposed to ask like that!" said Lorelai. He just smiled at her.
"Turkey burger" said Rory.
"Really?" asked Luke
"Yeah, if I want to be sporty I need to start eating healthy" Rory explained and Luke just smiled.
"Ok, then I want a burger and extra fries to compensate her lack of junk food"
"You're crazy"
"I know but I still want that for dinner" she smiled at him and Luke disappeared to the kitchen. After they ate Lorelai took Will back to the inn with her because Luke and Rory were gonna be busy with the baseball thing. Rory went home to finish her home work before Luke came.
"Will!" Sookie screamed when Lorelai entered the inn's kitchen with him.
"Hey aunt Sookie" said Lorelai in a baby voice.
"Come here" Sookie grabbed Will and walked to the chopping board garbed a piece of carrot and gave it to him.
"Aw don't give him that" Lorelai walked to the freezer and pulled a popsicle out took the wrapper of, grabbed the carrot from Will's hand and replaced it with the popsicle "There, now doesn't that taste better?" she asked in a baby voice.
"Lorelai!" Sookie takes the popsicle away from Will "It's too cold outside for him to be eating ice"
"True, but he's not outside" she gave the popsicle back to Will when he started crying.
"You're crazy" she said while shaking her head.
"Yeah well that's the word around town today. Hey can you watch him for a little while?"
"Sure"
"Thanks a million"
"No problem, we're gonna have fun aren't we" she was talking in a baby voice to Will. Once Lorelai walked out of the kitchen doors Sookie took the popsicle and threw it in the sink "Here" and gave the fussy boy another carrot.
Just as Lorelai was walking out the kitchen she bumped into a very pissed of Michel.
"The battle for soup versus salad is raging. Go quick and settle it please as I'm running out of French curse words they wont understand" Michel whined.
"Michel!" said Lorelai then she watched the twin girls argue in the distance.
"It's been 45 minutes of soup or salad - soup or salad. I can't do it anymore. Get me a cab, I'm going to go far away now and never come back" whined the mom to Lorelai.
"Well what if you have the guest have a pick between soup or salad?" Lorelai offered.
"That might work, 45 minutes and it never occurred to me" she left them to go tell the twins. Just as they are happy again the 2 guys walk behind them and hug them, Lorelai noticed something on one of the guy's back.
"Michel, what's that?" she asked pointing to the post-it on one of the guys back.
"That's Mark, and I know that because of the post it on his back"
"Take it off"
"No, we can't all just call everybody 'sweetie' and get away with it" he explained himself.
"Either go over there and take it off or go tell Sookie about the soup or salad"
"Do I have to" he whined like a 3 year old.
"Pick one!"
"Fine I take Sookie" he said while turning and walking towards the kitchen. "Lorelai wants you to know that the guests will have a pick between soup or salad"
"Ok" with that Michel practically ran out of the kitchen and bumped into Lorelai.
"Wow that was fast, and watch where you're going!" she said rubbing her side.
"You're offspring is in the kitchen!" he said a little out of breath.
"I know" she simply said walking to the front desk.
"Why is he there?" he said following her.
"Cuz' Sookie is watching him for a little bit, Luke had to help Rory so I'm looking out for Will"
"No, you're not Sookie is" he said matter-of-factly.
"You know what? Go and take that post-it off of Mark"
"But I went to tell Sookie bout' the soup or salad therefore you need to de-post-it"
"Go!" Michel went and hugged Mark to 'congratulate' him on the wedding, when he did he took the post-it of, once he turned Matt pulled him into a hug then both girls did, once he had hugged everybody he walk past Lorelai.
"I hate you" he told her and walked away.
At ThE GiLmOrE's HoUsE
"Rory!" Luke said while entering the house.
"I'm almost done, you can make coffee in the mean time though" she said from her room.
"Aw you're really gonna let me make you coffee?" he asked sarcastically from the threshold of her room.
"Ha-ha very funny" she turned from her computer to face him.
"I'm gonna go get some things ready, and if I have any time left I'll make you some coffee"
"Ok" she turned back to the computer. He walked upstairs and changed into some long shorts and a t-shirt, grabbed his baseball gear and walked back downstairs to make some coffee.
"Here" Luke placed the cup next to her lap top.
"Thanks" she took a sip "Wow, I didn't know we needed to get all dressed up" she said looking him up and down.
"Funny. I'll be in the living room, when you're ready" he said walking out of her room. A couple of minutes later Rory walked in and sat next to Luke who was watching a baseball game.
"Are trying to get inspired?"
"Are you trying to get someone else to teach you a sport?" he said turning towards her.
"Sorry, zipping it up now" she turned her attention to the game. "What's that up there, on top of the screen?"
"That's the score board"
"Oh, umm what's WSH and NYY?"
"WSH means Washington and NYY means New York Yankees"
"Oh, why not just NY?"
"Cuz' people wouldn't know if they were Mets or Yankees"
"Oh, What does the little arrow pointing down stand for?" This is gonna be a long night. Luke thought.
"Hey, tell you what, why don't I just explain all the rules and stuff. And then if you have any other questions you just go ahead and ask?" Rory nodded.
"Good idea" she teased him. And he started explaining.
InDePenDenCe InN.
"Here" said Sookie handing a sleeping Will to Lorelai. "He's been out for like half an hour but right now I really need both my hands, I need to prepare the food for tomorrow's wedding"
"It's ok, I was gonna go get him now cuz I'm leaving" Lorelai grabbed Will, he fussed but fell back asleep as soon as Lorelai settled him down on the car seat. "I need to go save Rory"
"What?" she asked with a chuckle "I thought you said she was with Luke"
"Yeah she is" she grabbed the car seat and they started walking towards the door. "But he is teaching her about baseball"
"Oh"
"So I'm gonna go to Dosse's pick some junk food and then grab a movie"
"Well knock yourself out, cuz' its Friday" she settled the car seat and walked to the drivers door.
"Yeah but I have to come early tomorrow because of the wedding"
"Oh yeah, well then just enjoy the night"
"I will" and she drove off. She got everything that she needed at Dosse's but there were to many bags plus the car seat so the new bag boy 'Dean' helped her with the bags. After that she went to get some movies and headed home.
It was the bottom of the ninth the Yankees were up by two, it was the last chance for Washington and they had one out.
"That was a strike! Get your eyes checked!" Rory yelled at the TV while Lorelai entered the house with the car seat and baby bag. "I cant believe he counted that as ball 4, if they make a homerun we're tied!" she told Luke. Wow she gets the hang of this fast Luke thought.
"Was that my anti-sport baby-girl who just yelled all of that" asked Lorelai walking into the living room and placing the car seat on the floor.
"Shh!" said Rory. Luke got up, went to Lorelai kissed her and grabbed Will who was starting to wake up.
"What did you do to her?" she asked laughing.
"Nothing I just explained it and she got the hang of it, she even like's the Yankees now" he said with a smile.
"Look at you, you're practically glowing" she kissed him but was interrupted by a.
"Yes! Double play! We win!" Rory jumped out of her seat and started jumping up and down.
"You've turned her into a monster" she whispered to Luke, he just smiled.
"So? Do you like it?" asked Luke.
"Oh my God! It's so cool mom why didn't you ever make me like sports!"
"Excuse me! you were afraid of balls up until yesterday and you don't like dirt!" she answered sitting on the couch.
"Yes I know, but I could've watched them, it's so competitive" she sat next to Lorelai.
"Good to know you liked it, but tomorrow we are gonna go out side and play" he warned. She nodded.
"And you're gonna dress up again?" Rory mocked.
"I hope you do" Lorelai teased.
"But what if there's a game on tomorrow, we're not gonna watch that?" Rory asked.
"You need to learn how to play" he said matter-of-factly.
"But I already know all I need" she pouted.
"You still need to learn" Luke told her the was a weird cough-sound coming from Will "Did he just cough?"
"Don't think so" said Lorelai. They kept talking while Luke made dinner and they popped a movie in watched it and went to sleep. It was 2:35 a.m. when a strong cry invaded all of the house.
"What's that?" asked a groggy Lorelai.
"Those are the lung you gave our son" Luke answered. "You go back to sleep I'll get it, you have that inn thing, and Caesar is gonna open for me tomorrow" she mumbled something and instantly fell back asleep.
"Hey little buddy what's wrong?" he said as he entered the room, Will was sitting and crying his eyes out. Luke picked him up but the crying only intensified. "Aw, hey shh, mommy needs to sleep, so does your sister she's gonna try to play a sport tomorrow" Will only kept crying he was bright red now. "Wow you have a fever" Luke whispered. He sat Will on the changing table and took his pj's off. "Ok you don't have a fever you're burning up" he said. Will kept crying harder and was breathing thru his mouth. Luke walked downstairs, grabbed some baby fever medicine and walked over to the couch, he sat there popped on Will's favorite video and gave him his medicine.
"What are you doing?" asked Lorelai when she saw that Luke was sitting on the couch TV on and Will sitting on his lap, his back against Luke's stomach and he had hiccups now.
"Is he asleep?" whispered Luke.
"Not yet but he will be. What are you doing and where's his pj's?" she asked sitting next to Luke and combing Will's hair with her fingers.
"His pj's are gone cuz' he was burning up…" he was interrupted.
"What!"
"I gave him his medicine, popped his favorite video and we're just hanging. His fever's down don't worry"
"God I'm so stupid" Lorelai whispered.
"What?"
"I said I'm so stupid. Here you are being the perfect father to my kids all day and I go and do this"
"What are you talking about?" he heard Will's breath being slow and steady so he got up and took him to his room.
"Sookie told me he was gonna get sick but I didn't listen" she said. Luke put Will's pj's back on and placed him on the crib. "I gave him a popsicle today" she confessed.
"What!" did she just say she gave him a popsicle in the middle of October?
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it was that cold so I took away the carrot Sookie gave him and handed him a popsicle" the were in the hall now, between Will and their room. "Please say something"
"It's October Lorelai! And he's just 15 months old!" he was very pissed.
"I didn't think it was tha…"
"That's right you didn't think! He's not like you or Rory or me for that matter, he's a baby! If you feel a little chilly out for him its plain cold. It's like you eating a popsicle in the middle of winter, which I know you have but you make those decisions if you get sick its your own fault, he makes no decisions! You're supposed to know better! You're supposed to look out for his well being!"
"I know that Luke!" she yelled back with tears in her eyes.
"Do you? Really?"
"Yes! I have a daughter you know! And I took care of her when she was a baby and she's ok now"
"Miracles do happen sometimes" he walked downstairs. She walked to their room and slammed the door. I'm not gonna cry I'm not gonna cry I'm not gonna cry. Luke turned the video off and started flipping the channels he was waiting for her to go to sleep. You were harsh on her man one side of his brain said she gave him a popsicle in the middle of October, I was not harsh I was being honest the other side of his brain said you were being honest in a harsh way, why did you have to yell at her, true Will has a cold now but kids need defenses its not like his never gonna get sick. True he is gonna get sick, but we don't need to make him sick. And I know maybe I was a little harsh on her, it's true she has a daughter yes she does and a very bright one also and yes she took care of her when she was a baby. But she didn't do it alone I was here for most of it, I know. Even if you weren't here shed still be the same Rory. I know. He got up turned the TV off and went up stairs.
Why did he yell there was no need for yelling, it's true I screwed up and I know I shouldn't of given him that popsicle but he just liked it so much. And who is he to say that about Rory, well not actually Rory but me, I took care of hr when she was a baby, even though he was here most of the time that doesn't mean I don't know how to do it. Those are footsteps he's coming. She turned her back to the door and pretended to be asleep, she didn't feel like fighting again and she definitely didn't want him to see that she's been crying.
"I know you're not asleep" he said. "Look I'm really sorry for what I said, you do know I didn't mean it, you're a great mom, its just…I… I flipped out. long pause I'm sorry" he sat on the foot of the bed and hear her sniffle.
"I know" she said with a cracking voice. He turned and looked at her over his shoulder, her eyes full of tears.
"Hey…" he crawled into bed next to her he sat with his back to the headboard and hugged her "Don't cry" he rubbed her back "I'm sorry for all I said I was an ass"
"No, Luke I'm sorry, here you are teaching my daughter how to play baseball and I gave our son a cold, you're a great dad"
"Only because a great mom told me how to deal" he said with a smile on his face.
"Don't be sweet now, I screwed up"
"No you didn't, well yes you did, but he needs to get sick sometimes, just not always and not by our fault" she smiled.
"You're great and I'm lucky"
"Why?"
"Cuz' you love me" she said matter-of-factly.
"Are you sure about that?" he teased and she punched him in the stomach. "Hey!" she smiled. He scooted down and they fell asleep in each others arms.
NeXt MoRnInG
Luke was making breakfast when Rory stepped out of her room.
"Something smells good" she said grabbing a cup of coffee.
"Thanks I just took a bath" he teased.
"Wow, living with us really affects people" she said sitting down.
"Hey good news"
"What?"
"Will's sick"
"You really don't know the definition of good news huh?" she said taking a sip of her coffee.
"You didn't let me finish Lorelai Leigh Gilmore"
"Wow put an emphasis on Lorelai why don't cha"
"Can I go on?"
"Yes, so Will's sick"
"Yes, so we're gonna watch a game while he's awake, then when he takes a nap I'll teach you how to use the batting cage that's out side so when he wakes up again you can practice that by yourself without getting killed and when he sleeps again we'll throw the ball for a while" after that he drew in a big breath.
"Wow it really does affect people. Wait bating cage?" Luke nodded "In our front yard?"
"Backyard actually" he said with a smirk. Rory went outside and screamed then ran back inside.
"Where did you get that!"
"I've got my ways" he teased while he set a plate in front of her.
"Mystery man, kinda cool" she sat and began to eat breakfast, Luke went upstairs to get Will he no longer had a fever but he had a cold, Lorelai was long gone she had to be at the inn by seven and it was nine. About twenty minutes later Luke walked back downstairs with Will all dressed and with his face washed, he found Rory cleaning up.
"Hey, leave it I'll do that"
"No, I'll do it you feed him, besides you have to take care of a sick toddler and teach baseball to a teenager so the least I can do is wash the dishes"
"I like how you think" he put Will in his high chair and made him some oatmeal. After a while Rory convinced Luke to take the feeding to the living room so they could catch a game.
"What channel?"
"63. c'mon Will you'll feel better just eat some" Will wasn't letting the spoon get near his mouth and when it did he just spit everything out.
"You're not supposed to lie to kids"
"It worked on you"
"Hey!" Rory pretended to be offended but turned her attention to the game that was gonna start. Will started whimpering. "Why is he sick anyways?"
"He ate something he shouldn't of have" Luke kept trying with the food.
"What did mom give him now?"
"What makes you think it was your mom?"
"Ok, what did you give him?"
"Not gonna tell you. C'mon I cant give you the medicine unless you eat something" he spit everything out again.
"Try a bottle with milk, and please tell me"
"Milk? And no" he turned to face her for the first time since they were there.
"Maybe he has a sore throat" she shrugged her shoulders.
"Ill try that, keep an eye on him?" he asked getting up.
"Tell me what was it" he let out a long sigh.
"You mom took away the carrot sookie gave him and replaced it with a popsicle"
"Wow, so the carrot got him sick huh?" she teased.
"Ha-ha" he walked to the kitchen to get the bottle, he drank it all and after that Luke gave him the medicine that made him droopy. So about an hour later Luke and Rory were outside in the batting cage.
"I don't feel safe" she said all panicked.
"Why?"
"What if Will cry's?" she was looking for excuses.
"That's why I have this with me" he pointed to the baby monitor.
"Ok, but do we need helmets?"
"Yes"
"Why?"
"Because the ball is hard and it comes at you fast" Rory's eyes got so big they almost fell out of their sockets. "Relax I'll put it slower for you, not step outside so you can watch me" she did as told and watched him hit almost all of the balls that were thrown at him except for 2.
"Wow 18 out of 20, that's impressive"
"Yeah well I used to play, now step in" so she did. "Grab the bat like this" he put her where she had to be and in the position she had to be, then stepped out turned down the speed and turned it on again (it had the bottom so the ball would automatically go to one place and get stacked again) "Swing when they leave, you need to get the felling of it" when the machine turned it's self off she ran out of it.
"I hit 3 I hit 3!" she was so excited jumping up and down then ran and hugged Luke "Wow that feels so good, it takes all the stress out of you"
"Yes it does"
"Ah! This is so cool, I hit three, well three out of twenty, but still I've never grabbed a bat in my life and I hit three, I think this deserves coffee" she said and right then a cry came from the monitor.
"Sure I have to go in anyways" they went inside he went for Will and she made coffee.
InDePenDenCe InN.
"So are they coming?" Sookie asked Lorelai.
"Depends on how Will's doing" she said a little ashamed.
"Hey it's ok, he'll be fine"
"Yes I know, but I was my fault"
"Don't beat yourself up"
"Why not?"
"Its true you should've never given him that popsicle, but that's done, so why cry over spilled milk"
"Sookie I got my son sick, and Luke is taking care of him…"
"He's the father"
"And at the same time teaching my daughter how to play baseball"
"He's a great guy" he has to be who else would take care of his sick son and teach a sport to his girlfriends daughter in the same day without complaining. Those two should get married already. Sookie thought.
"He's a great father, and all I can do is make Will sick"
"Look if you're gonna be like this just go home, everything here is done, the wedding is not for another 3 hours, so go, go home take care of Will while Luke teaches Rory about baseball, as weird as that sounds, but go" Lorelai chuckled.
"Ok, but are you sure you don't need me?"
"No, the fun thing passed, the swans are already here, Michel is already freaked, everything is done, just go"
"Thank you so much Sookie" and with that she left the kitchen.
At ThE HoUsE
"Wow he is eating a squashed fruit" Rory said with a 'yuck' tone.
"He knows its good for him" it was 4:15 p.m. Rory was watching some TV show because there was no game on, Luke was on the couch and Will was in his high chair in the living room. "There you go" he said when the fifth spoon full went in and nothing came out, he was quietly eating.
"Wow that's progress"
"Aja" said Luke Lorelai walked in and was unheard she stood watching them from behind the couch.
"Hey ate all of it" Rory was impressed.
"Well he was hungry, he didn't want to eat anything at breakfast" Luke explained while whipping Will's face, taking him out of his chair and carrying he was facing the wall behind Luke 'mum' Will said Luke and Rory tuned. "How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough, is he ok?" she walked up to them and Luke handed her Will.
"Yeah he is" Luke said while sitting down.
"Mom I hit 3 baseballs!"
"Really?" Lorelai was excited for Rory Wow it was only a few hours, why do I feel like if I've missed months of their lives.
"Yeah it feels so good, you get de-stressed "
"Really, I'll have to try it one of these days" said Lorelai looking at Will who was almost asleep in her arms.
"Ha-ha" mocked Luke.
"Hey! Don't worry mom I'll teach you, hey Luke? Can I go outside?"
"Sure, wear a helmet ok?"
"Yeah!" Rory yelled while running thru the back door.
"Wow, you work miracles mister" she said sitting next to him with Will asleep.
"Apparently you too" he motioned to Will. "He fell fast asleep" she put Will in the play pen and went to sit down next to him again and place her head on his shoulder. "So what time are you leaving?"
"What?" she was almost asleep also.
"For the wedding, what time are you leaving?"
"Oh, I'm not going" she said simply.
"What? Why?"
"I want to be here, it's not fair to you that I leave when Will's sick and Rory needs help"
"We're fine, he's better and Rory learns fast"
"Still…"
"You have to go, its your inn"
"Fine, but I'm gonna take Will with me"
"No you're not. You need to focus on the wedding"
"But Luke" she whined.
"Fine tell you what. Let's go and get Rory so she takes a bath, then you take one, after that I take one…"
"Where are you going with this?" she sat back to look him in the eye.
"We'll all go to the wedding and if Will feels ok I'll take you out for dinner. What do you say?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, let's go get Rory"
"Let's?"
"Yes I want to show you something"
"Sure lets go. Wait what about Will?"
"I got the baby monitor"
"Lets go" they walked thru the back door and saw Rory bat 15 out of 20 balls. "Wow you go girl hit that ball!"
"Mom! Did you see!" she walked out of the cage.
"Yes I did, you're really good"
"Well I had a great teacher" she looked at Luke and he blushed.
"Hey honey go take a bath and put your pretty dress on, we're gonna go to the wedding and after that we're going out for dinner" Lorelai told Rory the new plans.
"What about catch?"
"We'll catch tomorrow by the looks of it you'll get the hang of it really fast" Luke told her.
"Ok!"
"Go take a bath then" said Lorelai and Rory went inside. "So what did you wanna show me?" she asked him in a seductive voice.
"Put this on and come with me" he handed her a helmet and pulled her hand into the cage.
"What are we doing here?"
"See that line there?" she nodded "Don't go further than that line, for your safty"
"How dangerous is it here?"
"Not much"
"So you'll protect me?" she asked in a seductive tone and hugged him he nodded and turned her so her back was to his chest he put the bat on her hands and they were both holding it.
"Wait here don't move" she nodded he turned pressed a button and was quickly in the same position. "A ball is gonna come, don't swing" he whispered in her ear and she shivered. "Now!" he said she swung and hit the ball, at the sound she jumped up and down passing the line Luke told her no to so he quickly turned the thrower of and when he turned… "I thought I told you not to pass that line you could've been hurt!" she ignored his temper and jumped him wrapping her legs around his waist making him lose balance a little so his back was against one of the cage walls while she was kissing him fiercely.
After a while they went inside and Rory was coming out of the bathroom, Lorelai went to take a bath Luke changed Will in his sleep and got the diaper bag ready when Lorelai came out he went to take a bath; he came out and Rory was barely ready Lorelai had a long way and Will was waking up, Luke gave him a sippy-cup with juice.
They witnessed the ceremony and was wonderful everything was beautiful and Luke didn't miss a chance to tell Lorelai which she loved to hear. After it was over Lorelai went around with Will on her arms, Luke went to put everything in the car and Rory just went to look around, about half an hour after the ceremony was over Luke found Lorelai and Will, she told him that it was time to go so Luke took Will to the car while Lorelai went to find Rory. Once on the car the discussion began.
"Where do you want to eat?" Luke asked the girls.
"Sniffy's!" they both yelled in unison.
"But that's out of town"
"So?" asked Lorelai.
"Fine we'll go"
"Yay!" the both yelled.
When they got to Sniffy's Will was asleep in his car seat so Luke stopped the car at the door Rory, Lorelai and Will got off, Luke went to park the car. Maisy was greeting people at the door and saw them come in.
"Lorelai!" she walked up to them. "Hey Rory"
"Hi Maisy" Rory said politely.
"Wow why is Will asleep?" Maisy asked looking into the car seat.
"Well he has a bit of a cold right now so the medicine knocks him out" Lorelai explained, just then Luke walked in.
"Lucas!"
"Hey Maisy" he said giving her a hug.
"Well what brings you guys here all dressed up?" Maisy asked walking them to their table.
"Well we we're at a wedding and got hungry so we came here" Lorelai explained.
"Oh was the wedding near here?"
"No, it was at Lorelai's inn" Luke told her.
"Then why did you come here to eat?"
"Because those girls right there are crazy" he explained.
"Good for you" Maisy told the girls and they just laugh. "God it looks weird to see him sleep" Maisy said looking at a sleeping Will.
"Hey Maisy where's Buddy?" Luke was concerned.
"Oh we got swamped and right now he is washing some stuff" she explained.
"Ok I'll be right back"
"Now Lucas don't go back there and help him you hear me!" Maisy said to the back of Luke's head.
"Hey Buddy" said Luke walking into the kitchen.
"Wow Lucas! It's a great surprise to see you here" Buddy hugged him. "Are you here alone?"
"No, they're outside" Buddy nodded "There's something I want to ask you"
"Sure"
"For dessert can you make Rory a 'Grand Slam'?"
"Yeah why if I may ask?"
"When has that stopped you? Anyway, I'm teaching Rory how to play baseball and she is doing really great. She has a try out on Monday it's a thing for school, so I thought it…umm. would…"
"Yes I'll make her a 'Grand Slam'. Luke you big softie" Buddy hugged Luke a manly man hug. Luke returned and Maisy left. After dinner and the grand slam they were off before it got to cold out for Will.
