April 26th 1983- Lorelais 15th Birthday
After the confrontation between Luke and Emily, Lorelai is told to stay away from Luke. Emily enforces this rule and makes Lorelai go to school and come home with a bodyguard every day. Luke and Lorelai haven't seen each other for about 7 months. It is now April 26th 1983, Lorelais 15th birthday. The only person she is aloud to see, is her best friend, Sookie St. James.
Sookie decides to take Lorelai out to Stars Hollow for a secret meeting with Luke.
Lorelai gets in the car not knowing where she's going but she's excited. Sookie chats the intire way, but Lorelai can only think about Luke. Lorelai starts crying softly in the passenger seat and that alerts Sookie, and she stops talking, "Sweetie, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Lorelai whimpers quietly, "No Sook. I miss Luke. So much. My mother keeps scaring him away. She's so evil. My dad supports us no matter what. But she never will. And that makes me angry." Sookie sighs, "Lorelai, I'm so sorry. I know that Luke misses you so much. He hasn't been working and when he does make an appearance, he is a wreak. He hasn't shaved and he has red, puffy eyes from crying." Lorelai wipes her eyes and sniffs, "He really looks like that?" Sookie sighs again, "Yes sweetie. Look, for your birthday your dad, and Luke's dad decided to get you and Luke together." Lorelai beams and happy tears start falling out of her eyes, "They planned this? Oh Sookie. They still believe in us."
Sookie pulls up to Williams Hardware and Lorelai spots Luke waiting inside impatiently. Luke notices Lorelai looking at him through the window. He runs outside to her and she runs to him. Once they get closer to each other, they are in each other's arms crying. "Oh Luke! I've missed you so much!", Lorelai says through tears. "Lorelai, I felt like our separation was an eternity. I love you so much.", Luke says while gripping her tighter. Lorelai and Luke look over at Sookie with a smile and say at the same time, "Thanks Sook. We owe you one." Sookie smiles back, "Anytime."
The two head inside the hardware store up to the office, while Sookie heads home until Lorelai is ready to leave. After 20 minutes, Luke and Lorelai hear loud knocking on the downstairs door. Luke takes Lorelais hand and takes her with him to open the door. Standing out on the steps is Emily and Richard. Richard mouths 'I'm so sorry' to them with a sad expression. Emily starts screaming, "I thought I told you to stay away from him Lorelai! I cannot believe you went against my wishes again! You are such a mistake!" Lorelai is fuming, "Mother, do not treat me like I'm dumb! DO NOT LOOK AT ME AND TELL ME THAT I AM A MISTAKE! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE DRAMA! LET ME AND LUKE BE!" Emily loses it and slaps Lorelai so hard in the face, that a bruise appears instantly, "DO NOT SPEAK TO ME IN THAT TONE YOUNG LADY!" Richards hands fly to Emily's arms and he holds her back with his voice booming out into the street, "Emily! Do not put your hands on Lorelai like that agin! NEVER!" Luke suddenly goes on a rant, "EMILY, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU AND YOUR STUPIDITY! LORELAI AND I ARE MENT TO BE TOGETHER IN SPITE OF YOUR ATTEMPTS! I MEAN THIS, DO NOT EVER HURT HER AGAIN OR I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND YOU WONT SEE TOMORROW!" Emily glares at Luke, "Never come near my daughter again! DO YOU HEAR ME LUCAS! NEVER AGAIN!" She then glances at Richard, "Let's go home, now!" Richard looks at Luke and Lorelai , who is being held tightly in Lukes arms, "Lorelai, say goodbye. You have 5 minutes. If you do not comply, per your mothers instructions, I will have to drag you out of here myself. I don't want to do this to you." Richard looks at Luke and nods, "I'm sorry son. I wish I could do something to change this. But I have no choice." He walks away with tears in his eyes, to give Luke and Lorelai their time together.
Lorelai is still holding her cheek, "Luke… I'm so sorry. I-…" Luke holds her tighter than before, "My beautiful crazy lady. I love you. I promise you that we will be together again soon." Lorelai sniffs, "I hope so."
Luke gives her a tiny smile, "Sweetheart,I know that we don't have many more minutes left… but I wanted to give you your birthday gift before I wouldn't have another chance." He pulls a small box out of his pocket and hands it to Lorelai who opens the box and gasps, "Luke… honey. It's beautiful. Where did you get this?" Luke grins, "This was my mothers necklace. My dad took it to the jewelers and had it redone and restored. He told me to give it to you when the time was right. I thought that this would be the perfect birthday gift for you." Lorelai smiles the first time in a few hours, "Luke, would you do the honors of putting the necklace on me?" Luke grins bigger, Anything for my crazy lady." Luke takes the necklace out of the box and puts it around her neck and backs away to look at the necklace. The necklace is a 14 karat gold heart shaped locket with a diamond right in the middle of the heart, and inside is a picture of Luke and Lorelai on the first day they met on the left hand side and on the right is an empty spot. He tells her that someday, they may have a family of their own and so that empty side is for that picture. Lorelai starts crying again, "Thank you babe. I love it so much. I promise you that I'll always wear it, no matter what." Luke kisses Lorelai gently and pulls away, "Happy birthday crazy lady. I will love you always and forever. Never forget that." "Thank you. I won't forget everything you've done for me. Always and forever backwards baseball cap.", Lorelai says practically blubbering and tripping over her own words.
Luke holds her a little bit longer, but then lets her go as her father goes to drag her out gently by the arm. Luke and Lorelais hands touch one last time, as they reach out for one another.
"The end is just the beginning .", Richard whispers to them as he takes Lorelai out of the hardware store.
