Chapter 10- Playing Pattycake

"And why, exactly, do we need to revive the kissing signal? Are you planning on making out with Luke on the front porch on a regular basis?" Rory asked, looking at her mother with a grin.

Lorelai only grinned back, her blue eyes sparkling.

"Mom! You and Luke?" Rory asked excitedly, her grin turning into a huge smile. Lorelai returned the smile. Rory jumped and enveloped Lorelai in a huge hug.

"So, I'm guessing this is okay with you?" Lorelai asked with a laugh.

"Are you kidding me? This is great! I always knew you two belonged together. Everyone did. Except you, that is."

"Yea, well, I'm a little slow sometimes."

"I'm so excited for you mom. You and Luke are gonna be great together."

"Thanks, sweets."

"This is good, right? You're happy?"

"Yea hun, I'm happy," Lorelai said with a huge smile. Rory could tell that it was a genuine smile. Her mom was one hundred percent happy. Rory was happy, too. She'd always loved Luke. She had always known he had a thing for her mom. He was always there; for both of the Gilmore girls. Feeding them, comforting them, protecting them. He would do anything for them. Rory gave her still-smiling mother one more hug before heading into her bedroom.

"So, what were you doing over there?" Luke asked Jess on the walk back to the diner.

"You sent me, remember?"

"I sent you to drop off food."

"And I dropped off the food."

"It took you almost two hours to drop off the food?" Luke asked, annoyed.

"There was a lot of food. Without Lorelai there, Rory needed someone to help her eat it."

"So that's it. You ate the food. Nothing else."

"Well, there may have been some other stuff."

"Jess-," Luke started, angrily.

"What? You and Lorelai weren't exactly playing pattycake out there," Jess shot back.

"That has nothing to do with this. So help me Jess, if you hurt her again-,"

"Relax," Jess interrupted. "I'm not gonna hurt her. Not again." He said sincerely. Luke could only hope that this time, Jess would be better to Rory. However, Luke's thoughts soon drifted away from Rory and back to Lorelai. He couldn't believe that this- he and Lorelai- was actually happening.

"So, hun, how long was Jess here?" Lorelai called to Rory, who was still in her bedroom."

"I don't know. He got here a few minutes after you left, I guess," Rory said.

"Oh, so he was here for like, what, two hours?" Lorelai asked awkwardly.

"Yea, I guess so," Rory replied nonchalantly.

"And you two did- what, exactly?"

"We ate the food, and we talked."

"Just talked?"

"Well maybe not just talked," Rory said with a small grin, coming out of her room and joining Lorelai in the living room.

"Ah ha!" Lorelai exclaimed.

"What 'ah ha'?"

"You and Jess are back together."

"It's not like you didn't know that when you walked in the door. You could have just said something then," Rory pointed out.

"Yea, but it's more fun this way," Lorelai said with a shrug. Rory just rolled her eyes and plopped down next to Lorelai on the couch.

"What do you want to do?" Lorelai asked.

"I don't know."

"We could go to Luke's," Lorelai suggested.

"Mom. You just got back from Luke's."

"And…..?"

"Don't you think it's a little soon to go back?"

"You're right. Don't want to look too desperate," Lorelai agreed. Rory nodded. They both stared at the T.V., which wasn't even on. After a good minute or two, Lorelai couldn't wait any longer.

"Can we go to Luke's now?" Lorelai begged, wide-eyed, like an impatient child. Rory rolled her eyes in response.

"Fine," Rory said, lifting herself off the couch. "But we're walking. Slowly." Lorelai smiled as she, too, got off the couch and headed to the door.

"Hey hun?" Lorelai said to Rory, who turned to look at her. "I'm happy for you and Jess. I really am. Just-, be careful this time, okay?"

"Yea. I will," Rory said, linking arms with her mother as they made their way out the door.

The diner was unusually crowed for this time of day. Babbette, Patty, and Taylor were all crowded around one table, deep in conversation. As soon and Lorelai and Rory walked in the door, the whole room went dead silent. All eyes, in unison, went from Lorelai, to Luke, then back to Lorelai, who led Rory to two empty seats at the counter; the only empty seats in the whole diner. Luke smiled at Lorelai somewhat shyly. Lorelai smiled back. The entire town watched the exchange silently as Luke poured Lorelai and Rory each a glass of coffee. Rory and Jess, who had come out from behind the curtain, tried to hold back their laughter. Suddenly, the town's silence was interrupted by Babbette's 'whispering,' if you could call it that, to Patty;

"You should've seen them outside her house!"

"Oh, tell me more," Patty exclaimed. Luke blushed about eight shades of red, and Lorelai tried to hold back her giggles.

This caused the diner to erupt into conversation, everyone whispering in hushed voices and shooting looks at Stars Hollow's most long-time-coming couple.

Lorelai and Rory finished their coffee and were getting ready to leave. Lorelai motioned for Luke, who was of course, scrubbing the counter, to come over to her. He walked over and stood in front of her.

"No, come here," Lorelai whined, tugging on his arm. Luke leaned over the counter, so that his face was just inches from hers.

"That's better," Lorelai said with a grin as the leaned up and kissed him deeply. She pulled back and smiled at Luke as she and Rory got up and left the diner. Luke just shook his head and smiled as he went back to wiping the counter. The entire town had become silent again, their jaws dropped as they watched the Gilmore girls leave. As the door shut behind them, the entire town burst into cheers, with the exception of Taylor, who was already figuring how the whole thing could go wrong. Lorelai and Rory burst into laughter on the sidewalk as they linked arms and walked away.
