Chapter 14

The following day Luke and Lorelai were sat in the kitchen having breakfast.

"I guess we should talk..." Lorelai said.

Luke sighed. "Yeh.."

"Luke, I promise you that I will never have anything to do with my mom ever again." She said.

"You can't promise that." Luke said.

"I can. I hate her!"

"Lorelai, she's your mom. You can't cut her out forever." Luke said softly.

"I can." Lorelai said bitterly.

"I just don't know how much more I can take."

"You don't have to. Mom won't meddle anymore."

"And Christopher?" Luke said slightly tensing at the name.

"He means nothing to me. I haven't spoken to him since I saw him at that dinner."

Luke nodded.

"Luke, I love you. You. I want to be with you and noone is going to stop me." Lorelai said softly.

"I love you too." Luke smiled.

They smiled and kissed.

"Get a room!" Rory smirked coming out of her room.

"Oh hush you!" Lorelai grinned. "And technically this is a room!"

"I'm off to Lane's. I'll be back later."

"Ok hon, have fun!" Lorelai smiled.


Rory left and headed for Lane's.

"Lane?" She called as she went in.

"Hey Rory!" Lane smiled as she appeared from her room.

"Hey!" Rory smiled and hugged her best friend.

"So how are things? You still enjoying Yale?" Lane smiled sitting down.

"Yeh Yale's great. And Luke and mom are back together." Rory smiled.

"Aw that's great!" Lane said genuinely happy.

"And I don't need to go to any more Friday Night Dinners!" Rory smiled.

"Wow how'd you pull that?"

"Luke's offered to pay for Yale."

"Wow. That's generous!" Lane said surprised.

"I know." Rory smiled. "Plus it'll piss my grandmother off knowing Luke is paying for it." She grinned.

Lane laughed. "Yeh it will."

Rory smiled. "I'm just glad they're back together. Mom was miserable this week."

"I know. I haven't seen her all week and Luke was miserable too."

"I haven't seen mom as happy as she is with Luke." Rory smiled.

"Yeh they're a great match." Lane smiled. "So any boys on the scene?"

"You sound just like my mom!" Rory said.

"Well...?"

"No there isn't." Rory said.

"Come on, there must be someone. What about this Marty guy you always see?"

"Marty's a good friend. We enjoy each other's company." Rory said.

"Ah ha..." Lane smiled.


Lorelai had gone to the inn. The phone rang and she answered. "Hello?"

"Lorelai, it's your father." Richard said.

"Hey dad!" Lorelai smiled.

"I just wanted to say sorry about you and Luke. Rory seemed awfully upset by it at dinner." He said sincerely.

"Thanks dad but we're actually back together now. He came round yesterday evening and we made up." Lorelai said.

"Oh that's great." Richard smiled.

"Thanks." Lorelai smiled at her dad's sincerity.

"So will we see you on Friday?" He asked.

Lorelai tensed. "Not if mom will be there. I'm sorry dad but she went too far this time."

"I know. Rory said what happened but she's awfully upset. She's realised what she did was wrong." He said.

"I don't care, Dad. She nearly broke us. I could have lost Luke for good." Lorelai said. "Oh and just to give you a heads up, Luke has offered to pay for Yale and Rory has accepted his offer." She said and then hung up.

Richard was shocked and went to the living room.

"Emily, we have a problem." Richard said. "It seems we have lost them both." He said sadly.

"What?" Emily said.

"Luke has offered to pay for Yale and Rory has accepted. She won't have to come on Friday anymore." He said sadly.

Emily snorted. "Does he know how much the fees are? How is he meant to afford it?"

"Well he is doing it." Richard said. "So I hope you're happy."

"What?"

"Just make it right Emily. I am not losing them again." Richard said and went back to his study.

Hope you enjoyed it! Let me know what you think! :) Sorry it's a bit short but there will be more! :)
