A/N Sorry about the mix up, I posted an earlier version of the final chapter late last night.

This one is different towards the end, more details at the bottom of the page I just didn't want to post a spoiler here. Please enjoy and sorry again for the mix up.

The Morning After

Lorelai couldn't sleep she awoke early the next morning and sat in her side of the bed. Normally insomnia would be a sign that something was wrong, but this time things couldn't be more right. She had not been in a serious relationship for so long it was nice to have a side of the bed to call her own again. It was nice to sit and watch someone sleeping beside her that she could already see spending the rest of her life with. Luke had been a good friend for year and now they had successfully taken the next step, several times she smiled to herself.

Lorelai watched as Luke slept soundly next to her, 'poor guy,' she thought remembering the previous night's activities, which left them both exhausted. But it was a good tired, the kind that leaves you with a goofy smile the next day, to the annoyance of your friends.

She liked how Luke had taken charge the moment she turned off the TV, Lorelai had worked her womanly ways on him and standing naked on the coffee table was a trick she would have to remember. After Luke carried Lorelai up the stairs to her bedroom he had genteelly placed her on the bed before once again having his way with her, this time spreading her legs as he rested on her. Luke buried himself inside her, his weight holding Lorelai down but he was powerless to stop Lorelai from rolling them over, turn the tables and ending up on top, not that Luke complained. Lorelai had only managed a few hours sleep before waking to make sure it wasn't all a dream.

As the first rays of sunlight signaled the start of a new day, Lorelai knew it wouldn't be long before they would have to face the town and possibly her parents. Lorelai knew the later could be delayed for a while, maybe several weeks and with Luke's help she could handle anything the town would throw at them.

The partly opened curtains allowed a stream of light to cross Luke's face. Lorelai scooted down back under the sheets as Luke lifted his hand to cover his eyes. Luke turned onto his back moving out of the direct light he turned his head to look over at Lorelai. To his relief it was not a dream, Lorelai looked peaceful but her closed eyes and the sheets pulled tight did not fool Luke "Morning," he said reaching out to brush some stray hairs from her face.

"Morning," she replied with a yawn opening her eyes to great Luke.

She pulled the sheet over them both moving closer to fell the warmth of his body again, "Do you have to open the diner?"

"No Caesar is doing it this morning," he said putting his arm around her back, "I told him I'd be there for the late breakfast rush."

"Good I want you all to myself," she replied kissing his chest.

"Do you want breakfast?" Luke asked.

Lorelai ignored the question as she continued kissing his pecks.

"What about a shower? He added without affect.

"You must want coffee. I packed some beans from the diner in the basket…"

Lorelai placed one finger over his lips, "All I want inside me right now is you," she replied straddling Luke once again.

He smiled back as Lorelai moved herself over him, reaching between them Lorelai stroked Luke several times, finding him hard and ready she pushed down with her hips.

Luke was happy with waking up this way but a little concerned, "What about?" he asked reaching for the half empty box of condoms on the beside table.

"I'm on the pill," she replied.

"Then why sis we use them last night?" he asked.

"I like putting them on you, besides it's more exciting when the guy thinks he's the one in control," she answered sitting up, "I learnt the hard way what happens when protection fails. I love Rory with all my heart but I'm not ready for another kid right now," Luke was a little surprised and Lorelai could read it on his face, "I mean if I find the right guy then we can talk about it."

"A short talk," Luke smiled.

Lorelai remembered the talk they had a few years before, "Yes a short talk," she agreed.

Lorelai kissed Luke once again before pushing down again, Luke's length slipping deeper inside she breathed in sharply, before opening her eyes to look at Luke again.

"You're a very complicated lady," he said looking at Lorelai.

"And you like me that way," she returned with a sassy answer.

Lifting herself into the jockey position Lorelai started ridding Luke, pushing back to drive him in deeper with each stroke. Her firm breast moving with in rhythm, Luke caressed one then the other wanting Lorelai even more then he had ever dreamt. She closed the gap between them, pressing down on his chest, kissing Luke again.

This time Luke turned the tables, rolling over as he pulled out. Exchanging kisses he moved her into position, spooning her Luke ran his hands over her back and side as she opened her legs. He slipped back inside the now wet Lorelai, she moaned reaching back to cup Luke's butt and pull him closer. Luke groaned and in return caressed Lorelai's breasts as he worked down to their union with his hand. Pulling her closer as he pushed his hips to her they raced to an enjoyable climax.

Luke wrapping his arms around Lorelai, "We have to do this every morning," she said turning to receive a kiss from him.

Luke nodded in agreement, "I'll talk to Caesar," he said breathing heavily as he pulled the sheet over their cooling bodies, "He's been bugging me for more to do.

"So I need to know what do I get now?" Lorelai asked confusing Luke.

"I just gave you everything, you'll have to wait fifteen minutes…"

Lorelai cut him off, "No not that, but good to know. I meant at the diner, do I get preferential seating if the diner is busy?"

"If it's busy the best I can do is the table in my apartment," Luke answered dryly.

"Luke part of the reason I go to the diner is for the atmosphere so I'm not eating my lunch in your apartment. Unless there was other reason you would want me up there. If that's the case then let me warn you I can't be held responsible for what your customers might hear," she replied with a smirk to her smile thinking dirty thoughts.

Luke thought for a moment, "Alright you can have the counter spot next to the cash register," he agreed. Not minding the idea of a nooner but knowing he would never do it.

"I'm sure I can find something sheer and black in my top draw to change you mind," She teased.

"They're for paying customers," he reaffirmed.

"Luke I still want to pay when I eat at the diner, it is your place of business and I'll continue to tip," Lorelai said turning to face Luke.

"Traditionally you don't tip the proprietor even when they serve you," he explained.

"So why have I paid 20% extra all these years?" Lorelai questioned.

"You never tipped that much, a solid 15% less if we were fighting or you thought I was mad at you for something," Luke added.

"Well I want a refund, you owe me mister," Lorelai demanded poking his chest.

"Can I pay you back in sexual favors?" Luke asked with a smirk.

"Coffee first and I'll work out a repayment schedule," Lorelai said pushing him away.

Luke kissed Lorelai again before backing out of the bed, "Do you want pancakes with that?"

"Coffee and chocolate pancakes in bed with my man, that will cancel out one month worth of payment," she joked snuggling up under the sheets.

"I'll be right back," Luke said wrapping the robe around his naked body.

"Don't forget the syrup," she said reminded Luke as the door closed.

Luke made his way down to the living room, finding his pants on the floor next to the couch. Opening the dressing he quickly dressed slipping on his boxers them pants. Turning Luke found his shirt on the back of the armchair, dropping the robe on to the couch he began to dress slipping through his arms then slipping the shirt over his head.

"Luke!" he heard from behind him.

Luke turned as his head popped out of the opening.

Dressed in her usual pajamas and robe Rory stood there in total shock. She was startled at the sight of Luke half dressed in her living room and didn't know what to say.

"Rory," is all Luke could manage to say.

She started backing out of the room, "I'm sorry," said finding the safety of her bedroom and quickly closing the door.

"Aw Geez," Luke said looking for the rest of his clothes.

"Rory is here!" Luke said bursting back in the upstairs bedroom.

"What?" Lorelai asked in surprise.

"Rory is in her room," he added.

"No sweetie she's at Yale."

"Blue eyes about five-seven also answers to the name of Lorelai and has an annoying coffee habit like her mother," he babbled.

"Rory is here? When? How?" she asked.

"I don't know the details, I just know she is here and saw me almost naked," he said in a panic as he passed the room.

"Oh poor baby," Lorelai said getting up to comfort a clearly worried Luke, "Did she say anything?"

"I don't know, she ran back to her room in shock, we both are… What are you wearing?" he asked noticing the sexy outfit she was now wearing as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"I had other plans for breakfast," she said with a smile, toeing off her heals.

"Oh my god what if she heard us last night?"

"How long has she been here?" Lorelai asked.

"I don't know. I can't face her…"

Lorelai stood to dress in something more appropriate, "Luke you can't go. Now get away from the window," she told Luke.

"I came in here one time, going down must be easier," he thought aloud.

"And you broke my lamp. Luke I don't think she would have stayed if she heard us last night, maybe she just got here?" Lorelai reasoned finding her Yummy Sushi pajamas.

Quickly pulling on the shorts, "Can't go commando with Rory at breakfast," she said to herself slipping of the sheer night gown before putting on the pajama top.

Luke turned to Lorelai, "You were pretty loud last night…"

"Hey I wasn't the one calling out Lorelai at the top of my lungs!" she protested, "Look I'll go down, find out a few things. You just stay up here and don't climb out the window, we don't want you falling on your ass again," she said giving him a quick peck on the lips.

Moments later Lorelai knocking on her daughters bedroom door, "Rory… it just me, two X chromosomes no pants, well I have pajamas on now but," she said opening the door slightly.

"I'm sorry, I'll be gone in a few minutes," Rory said dressing quickly as she stuffed some books back in her bag.

"You don't have to go, Luke's going to make us breakfast," she said getting Rory's to turn around, "I'm sorry I didn't give you more warning, weren't you planning on staying at Yale this weekend?"

"I was, but then Paris…"

"No need to explain," she said looking at her daughter again, "Luke's a big boy and I think he'll get over it. You did see him at the lake last summer without a shirt on, " Lorelai smiled.

Rory put down her bag, "I don't want to intruding…"

"You're not, it's your house first," she reminded her daughter, "Luke is the guy I'm dating now so this is bound to happen again. Well maybe not the seeing him dressing part. Tell you what I promises to put a sock on the door knob next time he stays over."

Rory took a moment to think, "Okay I'll stay, if it's okay with Luke," she said as they hugged.

"Luke will be pleased."

Rory looked at her mother, "You look happy."

"I am, kid," Lorelai replied with a smile that lit up the room.

"So Luke spent the night," Rory stated still getting used to the idea.

"Yes but nothing dirty happened in the kitchen. I'll just have to lick Maple syrup of Luke's chest another morning," she joked.

"If you want me to stay, no more inappropriate jokes missy," she warned her mother as they left the room.

"But when will I get this chance again?" she teased kissing her daughter, "I'll be right back, you start the coffee."

"Where you going?" Rory called out.

"I just need to make sure Luke hasn't jumped off the roof or something," she said quickly going up the stairs, looking over the landing rail, "Just FYI don't use the coffee table until I get a chance to clean it."

Rory looked at her Mom and then the coffee table, a look of distaste on her face and not wanting to think about it as she went back to her room.

Moments later Lorelai entered her bedroom again. She sat next to Luke on the bed, "Are you okay?"

"Still a little embarrassed," he replied looking over to Lorelai.

She smiled again, "Trust me you have nothing to be embarrassed about," kissing Luke on the cheek.

"Is she okay?" Luke asked out of concern.

"She's fine, you make her your fluffy pancakes and she's forget all about seeing your naked chest," Lorelai said taking Luke's hand.

"Okay," he replied kissing the back of her hand, "Lets go."

Lorelai stood with excitement, "This will be good."

Luke tool Lorelai's hand, "So when did she get here?"

"She didn't hear anything… By the way we need to put a sock on the door next time you stay over," she joked.

"Please no inappropriate jokes this morning," he warned as she got to the door.

Lorelai turned to Luke, "I promise," she said kissing him on the lips again.

Luke smiled as Lorelai then lead them down for breakfast with Rory and the start of their new life together.

FIN or is it?

A/N: After posting the other version last night this morning when I checked I realized I posted the wrong copy, an earlier version I hope you liked this one better.

It's mostly the same but differs after Rory and Luke see each other.

To make up for the mix up I'm now working on an epilogue set a few months later…
