"Well…well, what do we have here?" Miss Patty asked noticing the two enter the inn. "You know if the two of you want to keep this little thing you have going on a secret you probably shouldn't hold hands in public."

"Actually Miss Patty we've decided not to keep it a secret. Dean and I are officially back together now. And yes you're the first person we have told, outside of our families of course."

"Honey I already knew the two of you were a couple, after the position I caught the two of you in upstairs yesterday, that much is obvious. When I asked you to keep me posted I meant on things that I didn't already know."

"There isn't much else to know Miss Patty. Lindsay and I decided to get a divorce a few months ago. Rory and I just started talking again."

Lorelai walked up behind Rory and Dean and smiled.

"Well I'll catch up with the two of later." Miss Patty said walking away with a mischievous smile.

"Hey…I'm glad you came back early. Your Grandma is here; she came back and insisted that we still have our lunch together." Lorelai tilted her head a little towards Dean acknowledging him. "Hi Dean."

"Hey." He said a little uncomfortable.

"You two didn't stay apart long. It hasn't even been ten hours since I saw the two of you together." Rory looked at Dean quickly thinking of something to say. And Lorelai took notice of the exchange between the two. "You have been apart, haven't you?"

"Mom…I need to talk to you."

Lorelai quickly took Rory's hand and pulled her towards the kitchen in a hurry. Once they found their usual talking spot Lorelai took a deep breath before finally speaking.

"Please tell me what I'm thinking happened right now, didn't happen?"

"We didn't have sex, if that's what you're thinking."

Lorelai let out a gasp of relief hearing those words. "Alright now that we're clear on that subject, I'm ready to know what did happen."

"Dean stayed at our house last night…and we slept in my bed." Rory took notice of the alarming look on her mother's face. "But we didn't do anything, really, I promise."

"Well why did he stay there?"

"Because I wanted him too, we wanted to be together. There was a lot we needed to talk about last night. I just wanted you to know the truth; I don't like hiding things from you."

"I know, and I love you for that. You really are my favorite." Lorelai said smiling. "We should get out of here before your Grandma comes looking for us."

"Hey mom?"

"Yeah?"

"Dean and I were sort of planning on having lunch together today."

"No way you can't ditch me and leave me alone with her, especially after what happened last night."

"Well what about Dean, he isn't ready to deal with Grandma yet and I hate to leave him alone right now."

"Why…Dean's a big boy."

"We've just both had a very emotional morning…"

"Just because you don't think Dean is ready for Emily doesn't mean he isn't. Let's go ask him, he might surprise us." Lorelai announced running out of the pantry to find Dean.

"Mom no don't…" Rory called after her but it was too late, as she quickly approached Dean who was now seated in the lobby.

"So Rory and I have to have lunch with my mom, you up for it?"

"I uh…I don't know. Does she know that Rory and I are back together?" He asked Lorelai but looked to Rory for the truth.

"Well no she doesn't but you could use this opportunity to fill her in." Lorelai suggested.

"Mom just let me talk to Dean for a minute alone and I promise I will join you and grandma in a few minutes."

"Alright but you keep in mind that you're my favorite. You wouldn't want to do anything to change that."

Rory turned to Dean with an apologetic face. "I didn't know that we were still having lunch today…I thought that since they left, we wouldn't, but she came back so…"

"Hey…it's okay."

"But you are welcome to join us, I just wasn't really sure if you were up for that yet."

"Yeah thanks but I think I'll skip this one. It's just lunch right…it shouldn't take more than an hour. I'll just wait for you."

"Okay, did you want to wait here?"

"Oh no, you and me were going to eat lunch remember? I'm starving, how about you meet me at Luke's when you're done here?"

"Sounds like a plan." She said giving him a quick kiss before walking away to join her mother and grandma.

Dean began his walk to the diner. It was the first time he had been without Rory since word began to spread about the divorce, having nothing else to concentrate on at the moment he noticed almost every stare in his direction. As he walked into Luke's it didn't get much better. He walked up to the counter and placed his order quickly with Luke. Things between the two of them had always been up in the air, he never thought Luke liked him much in the first place but today especially he wasn't sure where he stood. As Luke walked away and called at the order he was a little relieved to see Lane approach him.

"Hey Dean."

"Hey Lane, how's it going?"

"Alright, well you know, considering."

"Considering what?"

"That I had to find out from the gossip around town that two people that I consider to be close friends of mine are now back together."

"Oh that." Dean looked down at the counter for a moment. "Lane I'm sure she was going to call you, things have just been crazy ever since…well you know."

"I know and don't even worry about it. I'm happy for the two of you. I knew she wasn't over you; she was really upset when you got married. She wouldn't admit it but she was." Lane explained. "Well we should all get together later and hang out…" Lane stopped talking as her attention went to the person walking inside the diner.

"Yeah definitely. " Dean agreed as he turned around following her stare towards the door as Lindsay walked inside.
