A/N: Okay, this is my last update until I finally get some decent reviews. Thanks to glo1196 and penguinopus for their reviews for chapter 3.

Disclaimer: As of now, I own seasons 4, 5, and 7 on DVD, oh and what I consider to be a shrine to Gilmore Girls.

Chapter 4: You've Got Some Splainin' to Do

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz , BZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz, BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. The alarm seemed to get louder by the second.

"Okay, I get it. I have to get up. GAH!" She exclaimed drowsily as she hit the "snooze" button on the alarm clock, slowly rolled out of bed, picked up her blue blouse and pinstriped slacks, and made her way to the shower. An hour later, she was ready to go. She had her makeup perfectly applied, her hair curled slightly at the ends, and was dressed to impress.

As she walked down the stairs, she found Michel already at the front desk, clearly trying to avoid the town busybodies who were already awake. Why people voluntarily woke up at that ungodly hour, she'll never know.

'I bet Luke wakes up this early voluntarily,' she thought with a smile.

She walked through the kitchen door, still smiling.

"Morning, Sookie," she said cheerfully as she walked to the already full coffee pot.

"Morning, sweetie, want some breakfast?" Sookie asked, clearly ready to cook something for breakfast.

"Does Will Farrell have to be naked in every one of his movies?" She asked quizzically.

"Ew, he is, how come I never noticed that before? Why is that?" Sookie asked clearly disgusted.

"Who knows? Hey, but, uh, Sookie?" she asked pressing on.

"Yeah?" She asked, slightly distracted since she was in the middle of stirring some sort of gooey, yellow substance.

"The uh Will Farrell thing was kind of a subtle hint to say—yes to food please." Lorelai said slightly giggling.

"Oh, right," Sookie said, Lorelai's laughter clearly contagious.

"Pancakes?" She asked, practically begging Sookie.

"Sure," Sookie replied.

"So, have you seen Kirk this morning?" Lorelai asked, clearly enjoying the fact that Sookie had seen him naked.

"No, and thank God for that," she said. "Do you know how awkward it was plucking thorns out of Kirk's butt with my hands?!" Sookie had a pure look of disgust on her face as she told Lorelai about Kirk, causing Lorelai to spit out her coffee, which landed on her pants.

"Schnickelfritz!" Lorelai exclaimed. "Sookie, I'll be back. I have to go change my pants now."

"Okay, hun, but you still have to tell me about last night." She said pointedly.

"What about last night?" she asked innocently, getting off her stool in the process.

"Lorelai," Sookie said so serious that she had to keep herself from laughing.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you when I get the chance," she said, pushing open the kitchen door.

She ran up the stairs as quickly as she could in her pumps. Half way up the stairs, she quickly reconsidered her "running" as she tripped up the last few remaining stairs.

"You really have problems when it comes to stairs don't you" Lorelai heard a voice say, immediately know it was …

"Luke!" she exclaimed. "Well, this is slightly embarrassing" she continued looking down at the large coffee-stained spot on her pants.

"What'd you do?" Luke said, trying to restrain himself from laughing.

"Oh, you know, spilled some coffee," She said, clearly embarrassed.

"Ah, should have guessed." Luke said, slightly rocking from side to side.

"Hey, if you want to wait here for a sec, I can walk down with you. I just have to go change my pants real quick," she said, hoping he would stay for just a while longer.

"Sure." He said plainly.

"Okay. I'll be two minutes, tops," she said quickly before she rushed into her room, found a pair of jeans that she quickly slipped into, and then ran out the door, almost crashing into Luke. "So, do you have to go to work, or are you going to have something to eat first?"

"I should really get back to the diner," he said, clearly wishing he could stay longer.

As they reached the bottom of the stairs, they ran into Taylor, who made sure to comment on how inappropriate it was for Lorelai to be wearing jeans to her "place of business."

To that she replied, "You're right Taylor, I should have known better." The whole time she said that, Luke was smirking since Taylor had clearly not caught her sarcasm.

"Yes, well, as long as you agree." Taylor said already walking up the stairs, clearly thinking that he had influenced Lorelai's future fashion choices.

Lorelai proceeded to walk Luke outside, immediately grabbing him by the hand and dragging him around the side of the Dragonfly, where they could be seen by no one.

Clearly confused, Luke asked, "Lorelai, what are you…"

He was soon interrupted as her lips crashed onto his. He just stood there for a second, being caught off guard, but after his train of thought had come back, he quickly reciprocated, wrapping his arms around her back, pressing her even closer to him. She wrapped her arms tighter around his neck as she deepened the kiss, sliding her tongue into his mouth, where it was welcomed graciously, as his met with hers. Minutes later, they both pulled away breathless and flustered.

"So… that's what you're doing," he said after catching his breath.

She nodded and said, "Well, I think you deserved it after all you've helped me with over the last few months."

"Well, in that case you're very welcome," he said as he gave her a long, lingering kiss, before stating that he had to go.

" Okay well, I'll probably see you later tonight if I had a guess," she said, pointedly.

"Looking forward to it," he said as he gave her a small wave and he backed down the stairs.

She walked back inside the inn, still flabbergasted by her meeting on the porch with Luke, and by the fact that her inn was full of townspeople.

She quickly made her rounds in the dining room, catching up with everyone as they finished up their breakfasts. Afterwards, she walked quickly to the kitchen, where she was greeted by an anxious Sookie, who had immediately gave her current job to someone on the kitchen staff while she dragged Lorelai out the back door.

"Okay, Lucy, you want to start explaining, or do you want to turn this into twenty questions?" Sookie asked clearly anxious to know what was going on between Lorelai and Luke.

"Well, I'll just get straight to it..." Lorelai started, and then took a deep breath before continuing, "Luke and I are together."

Sookie let out a loud squeal, hugged Lorelai and gave her a big smile before asking, "So, how, when did that happen?"

Lorelai sighed a breath of relief, happy that Sookie approved of her and Luke, and then she continued to tell Sookie all about Liz and TJ's wedding, the movie invite and how confused she was. Then she moved on to last night's events, not quite telling her the whole truth about Rory, but she told her enough to let her know that they we re now fighting. She told Sookie how much of a help Luke was and all about their first kiss, and finally about their rendezvous on the porch just moments earlier. When Lorelai finished, she thought Sookie was going to blow a gasket. She was pretty much hyperventilating over the whole thing, so happy Lorelai and Luke were finally together.

"Seriously, Lorelai, do you know how long we've been waiting for this to happen?" Sookie asked in a high pitched voice.

"We, who's we?" Lorelai asked confused.

"The town. Man, Patty's gonna flip when she finds out about this," Sookie replied.

"Sookie, oh no, the town can't know, at least, I'm not sure if Luke wants them to know," Lorelai replied, slightly panicked.

"Lorelai he could care less if the town knows because it's you." Sookie said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"So?" Lorelai asked, still not quite getting what Sookie was saying.

"Lorelai, come on."Sookie said slightly frustrated.

"No, Lorelai come on? Sookie, seriously?" Lorelai said clearly wanting Sookie to make her point and move on.

"Lorelai, you're the Darla to his Alfalfa, the Sandy to his Danny, the Ilsa to his Rick, the…"

"…Allie to his Noah, yeah, yeah I got it," Lorelai said with a sigh of defeat.

"Sweetie, you have to know by now that he has liked you for as long as he's known you," Sookie said plainly.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Lorelai said, a smile on her face as she walked back inside the inn, through the kitchen, and back to the front desk, where she was met by a angry, confused Rory. At the sight of her daughter, her smile was swept off her face, and contorted into an expression that you could only see in a comic strip. Rory had a very serious face on, resulting in what Lorelai had found to be the most frequently used line over the last few days.

"We need to talk," And there it was, uttered by her daughter.
