Thanks for the reviews. Didine- I think this chapter will explain if Luke tells Lorelai, I 'm not sure if I want Luke to tell her or if I want Will himself to tell her. And once Lorelai does know she is defiantly going to have a major talk with Will and it will be during the trip.
Puppies are cute- I'm not sure if I will write if Will and Jessica work things out, however if I do want to write a confrontation scene!
After about 10 minutes of who was going to sit with who and one of Luke's angry rants, the family got situated on the airplane. William, Will and Max were seated at the very front of the airplane and Luke, Lorelai, and Emma were in the very back. Emma wanted to sit with her brothers, but William wanted to sit with the boys, Luke wanted to keep Will close but didn't want to be seated away from Lorelai and after the family went back and forth, Luke dictated seats and that was the way it was. When the play started to take off Emma looked out of the window in amazement, she was the only one in the family who had never been on a plane before. Luke watched her wide eyes as she looked out the window and saw the plane moving upwards in a slant past the ground. It reminded Luke of when she was little and the little parts of life amazed her. Lorelai was watching too with a smile
"Pretty scary huh?" Lorelai asked
"No, this is really cool" Emma responded never taking her eyes off the window
Luke and Lorelai shared a smile and Emma spent the next half hour talking their ears off.
Finally Emma fell asleep and Luke turned to Lorelai
"Hey, so I know were going on vacation and all, but there is something I need to tell you about Will" Luke said
"I don't know what you said to him, but he's so much happier, thank you for cheering him up, now we can have a relaxing vacation and I wont have to be worried about my son" Lorelai said truly grateful
"Right, well um that's all I wanted to tell you was that, he's happier now, I talked to him"
"You did good babe" Lorelai said and kissed him on the cheek.
Lorelai was just too happy for Luke to crush her with this news and he didn't want to put a damper on their vacation.
When they finally arrived on St. Thomas, they had to take a ferry to get around places, and to get to the house they were staying at.
"Dad, look, isn't it so pretty" Emma said motioning to the water
"Yeah, and really clear" William commented
"We should go snorkeling" Max added
"And fishing" Luke said
Emma was intrigued by the way St. Thomas was as well as Will. It was very cultural and different, It was the most beautiful place any of them had ever been.
Lorelai put her arm around Will while on the ferry
"This vacation is going to be good for you" she told him in her ear
Will smiled "I know mom"
"Just checking" Lorelai said and matched his smile
Will was looking around at all the people of the ferry and was very intrigued by them. Some of them were obviously American tourists like himself but he could tell others were natives, to him the people just seemed to be so beautiful and beyond anything he could have imagined. When looking around a particular girl caught his eye. She was very tan and he could tell she spent a lot of time at the beach. She was also very fit. She wore what looked like a homemade dress and her arms were filled with handmade bracelets, her wind blown curly blonde hair hung to her face and her eyes were a deep brown. She was the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. She looked at him and smiled. He smiled back but turned his view, he felt like he was cheating on Jessica, after being with someone for 3 years straight, even looking at someone else felt wrong. Emma was so caught up looking out at the water which was so clear she could see the animals swimming in it that she didn't notice the 6"2 native born, tan, shirtless guy starring at her. Luke however did "We cant go anywhere, everywhere we go, one of them follow us" Luke whispered to Lorelai motioning to the guy starring at Em. Lorelai laughed "Just be happy she has her options" Lorelai said. Luke rolled his eyes and studied the water as well. Once off the ferry the blonde girl walked past Will and Will caught her eye. She looked at him for a moment before disappearing into one of the shops. The boy who had been eyeing Emma also left as well .
"Its beautiful here Luke, don't you think?" Lorelai asked
"It is, its really pretty here" Luke commented
"Hey mom, look at all the shops, we need to go shopping" Emma said excidely
" Aw jeez, my credit cards are going to be in a coma after you two" Luke complained
"That's the small price you have to pay for getting the pleasure to live with two Gilmore girls everyday" Lorelai teased
"Hey, I'm a Danes girl" Emma said laughing
Luke grinned at her "Yes you are" he said
"Do you think I should get Jessica a present?" Will whispered to his dad
"Its up to you, maybe as a peace offering?" Luke said
Will shrugged.
The following day the family woke up early to go to the beach. William brought his medal detector and took off immediately to search for treasure. Emma took off her shorts and tank top to reveal a white top and black bottom bikini. Luke looked over and almost had a stroke
"Lorelai" he hissed
"Yeah?" Lorelai asked revealing her bikini as well
"Tell Emma to put her clothes back on, boys will look" Luke snapped
"Honey were at the beach, calm down" Lorelai tried to soothe him
Luke took a deep breath, he promised himself he would ease down on his over protectiveness of Emma and he would. Emma , Will, and Max, bounded into the water. They all laughed and splashed each other.
Luke and Lorelai sat in beach chairs enjoying the breeze from the ocean
"You know, I love our little family" Lorelai said looking over at Luke
"Yeah?" Luke asked
"Yeah, I mean we've had quite a year, You thought you gained a daughter, then you thought you lost a daughter, then you lost the daughter you thought you gained, then the daughter you thought you lost turned out to be your daughter the whole time, then the separation, things with Rory, I don't think I ever appreciated just how perfect our family is until we almost lost it" Lorelai said
"Me either, I don't think I ever realized how much I didn't want to lose you, until I almost did" Luke said softly
Lorelai beamed at him and he smiled back.
Meanwhile in the water. Will had Emma on his shoulder's while Max has some random girl on his. No matter where Max went he always managed to find some girl that could fall completely in love with him, that was just Max. They were playing chicken and the girls instantly hit it off. The girl on Max's shoulder's was named Isabel and she was staying in the house next door to them. She said she came to visit her cousins who had lived her their whole lives.
When Isabel finally got Will to drop Emma, Will plopped down into the water. He quickly made his way back up to see the blonde headed girl from the ferry in the water as well, with what looked to be her little sister. She was laughing with her little sister and Will involuntarily smiled and laughed as well. Emma noticed and looked at her brother. He caught her and turned his attention back to the group he was with. Emma decided to let it go, it was good that her brother seemed to be interested in someone else even though Jessica was like a sister to her and she always thought they would get married. William came running up to Luke and Lorelai who had dozed off in the chairs
"I'm rich" he cried. He yelling woke both Luke and Lorelai up
"Dad I was in the middle of a nap" Luke complained
"But I'm rich" William yelled holding out a gold necklace
"Wow, that's pretty" Lorelai commented
"And expensive, dad someone could have lost that, you need to turn that in" Luke said
"Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers, your never going to get me to turn in my fortune" William said and ran off taking his metal detector with him.
Lorelai laughed.
"My dad is the most sensible person I know until it comes to money and "treasures" then he loses his mind" Luke said in annoyance
"I think its cute, maybe he'll give it to Patty" Lorelai said with an amused laugh
"Aw jeez, can we not talk about my dad and his relationship with Miss Patty"
"But Luke its adorable, just think we'll come home and he'll say 'look I found this while I was going up and down the beach with my 20 year old metal detector just for you tiny dancer" Lorelai said with a laugh
Luke gave her a grossed out look
"I'm going swimming with the kids" Luke said, Lorelai quickly followed him and they spent the day in the water laughing with there kids and getting tan.
That night the kids decided to go over and hang out with Isabel and her cousins.
So this is my cousin Fin, Had Emma seen on the ferry, she would have recognized him as the guy that kept starring at her, she also introduced her cousin Zane, and her cousin who didn't seem much interested in hanging out with them Willa.
The kids took to hanging out in the pool. Max and Isabel were in a corner talking alone, Will and Zane were in deep conversation about surfing and Emma was left alone with Fin.
"So, this your first time here?" Fin asked
"Um…yeah" Emma replied for some reason this guy made her nervous. Around all other guys she was fine but this guy wasn't even like a guy to her, he seemed almost like he was already grown up.
"I was raised here, I work for my dad's company picking sugar cane, and herding the donkeys" Fin remarked
"Donkeys?, I haven't seen any"
"They're all over the place" Fin commented
"Hmmmm…..So do you have a girlfriend?" Emma asked, she didn't know why she did, she didn't mean to make him think she was coming on to him put it just came out.
He seemed a bit taken aback "I don't tell strangers about my personal life" Fin said
"Right" Emma replied looking down and turning red. Fin started hysterically laughing
"Your just too easy, no I don't have a girlfriend, don't be so shy" Fin told her
Emma smiled
Isabel was talking to Max about getting a tattoo.
"Yeah, I really want to get one" Isabel said
"Me too" Max replied cooly
"I know some great places, Fin told me where to go and where not, he has like 4 or 5" Isabel commented
"Wow, hmm well maybe we can go together, moral support" Max said leaning in
'Defiantly" Isabel said moving closer.
Just then Zane did a cannonball in the pool pulling them out of their trance. Everyone started laughing and doing cannonballs as well when Emma heard her phone ring
"Hey Adam" she said jumping out of the pool and moving to the side of the house where people couldn't hear her
"No, I'm sorry I didn't call, I just forgot" Emma said
"Yeah, I'm sure, you know I'm not going to wait around for you all summer" Adam replied
"I'm going to be gone for 2 weeks, what are you talking about?" Emma asked she was really done fighting with Adam all the time
"You want to have fun, I can have fun too, you know there's a lot of girls in Stars Hollow" Adam commented
"Really? Well you know what Adam I think we need to breakup, You can have your fun all summer with whoever you want, I don't care" Emma said
"Yes, you do, baby just come home" Adam said pleadingly
Just then Emma heard a giggle
"What was that?" she asked
"No-one, nothing, I have to go" Adam said quickly
"Put the phone away, I miss you" she heard a girl say into the phone
Emma hung up on him, she stood by him as his girlfriend for 6 months and he does this to her, cheats on her, Emma was done. She smiled and walked back to have fun with her new friends.
Next up, Rory and the Gilmore's, Luke and the kids plotting something for Lorelai, and maybe some Luke/Emma/Rory father daughter time. Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz review
