Chapter 9

The two youngest Gilmore girls arrived back at their house late Sunday evening. They were both happy, excited and fulfilled from their weekend in Stars Hollow.

"Mom, can I call dad and let him know we got home?"

"Yes you may," Rory corrected her. She handed her a scrap of paper, "Here's the number to the diner and his apartment phone, post it on the fridge when you're done with it."

Lola nervously dialed the number.

"Luke's." Luke answered in a gruff voice.

"Um.. hi…dad. It's me, Lola."

Luke's face softened and he quickly glanced at Lorelai sitting at the counter before he tried to secretly slip back to the store room.

"Hey," he said quietly as he neared the door that would allow him privacy.

"We made it home all right, I just wanted to let you know. And tell you that I'm really glad this all happened"

"Me, too, Lola, me too."

They chatted for a few minutes about little things and then Lola, after promising to call a few more times that week, hung up. She turned and faced Rory.

"Mom, I just wanted to say thank you. I know this was hard on you, but it means so much to me. I'm so happy," Lola said as she went to give her mom a hug.

Tears crept out of the corners of Rory's eyes, "Oh, sweetie, I feel so silly. You shouldn't be thanking me for letting you meet your dad. I wish it had happened sooner. I'm so glad that it did though, and I'm glad you're happy about it and that you don't hate me."

The week passed quickly for the two girls. Lola called her dad three more times, and on the last call even got Rory to come on the line and talk for a few minutes. It was during that time that Luke brought something up.

"I was um thinking of coming up to see you guys. I miss Lola already."

"Oh, Luke, she would love that!"

"You would be ok with it?" He asked hesitantly.

"Of course I would Luke. I wish we didn't have to hide it, but, until we make a decision…."

"I understand. I was thinking I could come up for the weekend this coming Friday, stay through Sunday."

"That sounds great. Do you want to tell Lola?"
"I do. I just wanted to run it by you first."

"Thanks, Luke. It was good talking to you. Here's Lola back," she said, handing the phone back off to her daughter.

Lola shrieked when she heard the news form her dad. She said bye and hung up and quickly turned to Rory.

"Oh, mom," she said, embracing her in a hug, "Thank you!"
