I'm sooooo sorry for the delay! I got serious writers block! Thanks for all your reviews so far! Here's the next chapter! :)
Chapter 55
Lorelai stood for a bit on the stairs, confused by what Jamie had told her to do. What's in Luke's wallet? After a few moments, she decided to go inside. She saw Luke's jacket on one of the chairs in the living room of the cabin so she went over to it and found his wallet in one of his pockets. She took it out and started looking through it, not really sure what she was going to find. She found some small photos and smiled. There was a family one of him with his parents and Liz and Jess. She then found one of her. She then surprisingly found a recent one that was taken of Rory and Jamie, who were holding Charlie on the sofa, the day she had come home for the first time. Next to it was one of Abby. Lorelai smiled looking at these photos. It was sweet. Was this what Jamie wanted me to find? She thought. She was about to close it when she saw a piece of paper poking out from behind it. She took it out carefully and let out a small breath. It was the horoscope she had given him the first day at the diner. She had totally forgotten about it. He had kept it all this time. Why? She put it back in and put his wallet back into his jacket and walked to the kitchen. She was about to go in when she heard voices. She stood by the door and saw Luke's and Rory's back to her, facing the stove.
"So what, I just put the pieces of bacon in the frying pan? Just like that?" Rory asked.
"Just like that." Luke said.
"Well ok..." Rory said putting a rasher of bacon down. "Ahhhh..." She said bringing her hand back quickly. "It's spitting!" She exclaimed.
Luke chuckled. "It's meant to. Keep putting them in. Don't worry if they overlap. They'll shrink anyway." He said.
Rory looked at him sceptically. "But it will spit at me and burn me!"
"It won't." Luke said. He saw Rory give him a look. "Trust me. Just place them in carefully. It will settle down."
"Fine..." Rory said putting the rest of the bacon in. "So what's next?"
"The sauce." Luke said.
"Did you buy a tinned sauce?" Rory asked.
Luke chuckled. "Nope, we're going to make it."
"From scratch?" Rory asked shocked.
"Yes from scratch." Luke said amused. "It's easy, don't worry!"
"Ok well what do we need?" She asked.
"Butter, flour, milk and cheese." He said taking the items out on the counter and placing them infront of her.
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Ok so what's first?" She asked.
"Put some of the butter into this pan." Luke said putting a saucepan onto one of the hobs and switching it on. "Then wait for it to melt. And then you add the flour." He instructed.
Rory did as she was told. "How much flour?"
"Until it gets to the right consistency. I'll let you know." He said.
Rory started mixing them together.
"Ok that's good. Now you add the milk a bit at the time until it becomes a sauce." He said.
"Ok." Rory said concentrating fully on the task. She glanced up at him. "How do you know all this?" She asked.
"It's not that hard." Luke said.
"Yeh but you must have learnt it somewhere." She said.
"My mom taught me." He said.
"Oh. Sorry." Rory said.
"No it's fine. It's how I got into cooking and therefore why I opened a diner." Luke said.
Rory nodded and looked back at the sauce. "It's not turning into a sauce. I think I've done it wrong." She said.
"No, just keep going. It will suddenly turn." He said.
"It's not turning though!"
Luke chuckled. "How are you going survive at college if you're not patient enough to wait for your food to be done?"
"Canteen food!" Rory grinned.
"God help you." Luke mumbled.
Rory grinned. She looked back at the sauce and added more milk. "Oooooh it's turning! Look!" She said excitedly.
"I can see." He smiled.
"Yay! I made a sauce!" She beamed.
Lorelai smiled at their interaction from the door and decided to make an entrance. "Oooh I smell bacon!" She said.
They turned around. "Mom, Luke's teaching me to make pasta carbonara! I just made the sauce and it actually looks like a sauce!" She grinned.
"Wow, good job!" Lorelai smiled.
"Seriously how did you three survive for so long on pop tarts?" Luke said.
"You!" Lorelai grinned.
Luke rolled his eyes. "So dinner should be done soon. We just need to cook the pasta."
"Hon, why don't you go lay the table?" Lorelai suggested.
"But I want to finish.." Rory said.
"You can come back. I just want to talk to you." Lorelai smiled.
"Ok.." Rory said leaving the room.
Luke glanced at her. "Everything ok?" He asked.
Lorelai smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss. "Thanks."
"For what?"
"For doing this. With Rory. It's nice." She smiled.
"She wanted to help." Luke shrugged.
"I know but thanks." She said.
"You're welcome."
"And..." Lorelai said.
"What?"
"Do you remember when we first met?" She asked innocently.
Luke narrowed his eyes. "Why?"
"I was just wondering...it must have been in the diner right?" She said.
"Yeh.."
"Did I annoy you?" She asked.
"Jamie told you, didn't he?" Luke said.
"Told me what?" She asked innocently.
"About the horoscope." He said.
Lorelai grinned. "Maybe..."
"Ah jeez..." Luke sighed.
"You really kept it for all this time." Lorelai smiled lovingly at him.
"You told me to." He said.
"But you didn't have to." Lorelai pressed.
Luke shrugged.
"I love you." She smiled and gave him another kiss.
"I love you too." He smiled.
"Get a room!" Rory said smirking at the room.
"Um excuse me missy, I think this is a room." Lorelai said.
"Well get a private room then!" She said. "Actually no, don't do that, that sounds wrong coming from my mouth!"
Lorelai grinned. "I'll tell everyone dinner's almost ready."
"Tell Jamie he's in trouble." Luke smirked.
"Will do!" Lorelai grinned and left the room.
They all sat down for dinner 15 minutes later and had a lovely meal.
"Mmmm this is so good!" Lorelai praised.
"Thanks!" Rory grinned.
"I still can't believe you cooked this." Jamie smirked.
"Hey, I made a lasagne once!" Rory said indignantly.
"Which took you like 2 and a half hours!" He smirked.
"Whatever! This didn't take as long and it's still good!" Rory said.
"It is." Luke nodded. "And it was all you."
Rory smiled proudly.
Suddenly they heard a cry from the other room and a crash. Everyone exchanged puzzled looks and Luke, Lorelai and Jamie went to check on the kids.
"Oh my god..." Lorelai panicked. "Where's Abby? I put her in the playpen because she's starting to crawl a bit more!"
Luke ran out of the cabin but couldn't see anything.
Jamie ran into the bedroom. "Oh thank god.." He said. He picked Charlie out of her cot and went back to the living room.
"Is she ok?" Lorelai asked.
Jamie nodded. "Seems it."
Luke ran back in. "I can't see anyone."
"Where's Abby? What's going on? She can't just vanish!" Lorelai panicked.
A bit of drama to end the chapter on! Review and let me know what to think and apologies again on the late update!
