Mid March 1984- Rorys Conception
It's been almost a year since Luke and Lorelai have seen each other. Lorelai is literally falling apart at the seams. Everyday she comes home from school, goes upstairs to her bedroom for hours on end and barely even eats. Richard is worried about Lorelai all the time, and tries to make her feel better but she won't even reciprocate. Emily is pleased with her actions and is always trying to hold back a smile or smirk when Lorelai is in her presence.
Richard decides to give Lorelai some space, so he books a trip out of town for Emily and himself for the weekend. Lorelai is relieved and feels like she can breathe. But, Emily has big plans for Lorelai and won't let her rest. Richard has been begging Emily to stop trying to ruin her relationship with Lorelai, but Emily doesn't care, she wants Lorelai to be a part of the society that she has grown to hate. In about 7 weeks, is Lorelais 16th birthday. Emily is having an Coming Out To Society cotillion for Lorelai, and wants every suitable young man in Hartford to come. Lorelai is having nothing to do with it, since her heart is for Luke and Luke only. That has led to lots of shouting matches and fights between them. Lorelai has ended up with many bruises and never stops crying.
One day Emily realizes how much in the house needed to be fixed before the party, so she calls around Hartford and has no luck finding a suitable handyman. After hitting a dead end, Richard mentions Stars Hollow and Williams Hardware. Emily smiles at her husband, "Richard, I will give them a call. Thank you." Richard nods and walks away, knowing what he's done, he smiles to himself. Emily calls Williams Hardware, and Luke picks up. But before being able to say hello, Emily starts talking a mile a minute, and the next thing Luke knows, is that he is on his way to the Gilmore Mansion, without really knowing that it's Lorelais house. All Emily told Luke, is that she left a huge list of work for him to complete and he is to stay in the guest room the entire weekend, along with an address of the house. She never even told him her name, and that scared him.
After 40 minutes passed, Luke drives the truck through the gates and parks the truck in the driveway. He looks up at the house in shock and slightly whispers, "Lorelai." Luke gets out of the truck slowly and wipes a tear from his cheek, then walks to the front door. He knocks gently on the door, and a maid appears. The maid looks him up and down and says gently, "How may I help you?" Luke gulps, his eyes darting around the room hoping to catch a glimpse of the beautiful brunette who his heart most desired and loved, "Uh. Um. I'm here to fix up Mrs. Gilmores house." The maid smiles, "Oh yes. Please come in." She motions to the stairs, "Please follow me upstairs, and I will show you your room for the next 3 days." The maid walks ahead of Luke as they head up the staircase. She points to his room when they come to the door, "Here is your room. Diner is at 6. Thank you for agreeing to help Mrs. Gilmore." Luke smiles slightly, "Yes ma'am. No problem. Thank you." The maid scurries away and Luke heads into his room.
Luke settles himself down on his bed and begins to rap his head around the fact that, he is in the same house as the woman he loves. As he comes back into the right frame of mind, he hears a sob from down the hallway. Luke gets up and follows the sobs with quiet footsteps. He gets to the source and opens the door, and sees Lorelai sitting by her window looking very tiny and fragile, twirling around the promise ring given to her by Luke, 13 years earlier. Luke gulps as quietly as he can but Lorelai hears and her head turns to him. Her eyes are huge as she notices him from across the room, and she says to him with a quivering voice, "Luke. Is that you? Please tell me I'm not dreaming!" Luke stands very still not saying a word because he doesn't want to freak her out. Lorelai starts getting frustrated, "LUKE! PLEASE SAY SOMETHING! I can't take this anymore."
Luke throws his long worn baseball cap to the side as he rushes over to her. He picks her up gently and holds her against him. Lorelai wraps her legs around his waist and runs her hands through his hair, "God, I missed you." Luke grins at her with a seductive smile and kisses her deeply and then pulls away after a few minutes, "Hello crazy lady. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you." He unconsciously plays with her hair as he looks deep into her eyes. "Luke, I'm sorry. I never wanted this to happen. You know that…", she pauses. "… Luke, honey. I tried to be brave enough and get over all of this. But I couldn't. I needed you and I still do." Luke kisses her neck and coos at her softly between kisses , "I know you did. But I'm here now. It may be for a short time, but I know that something will bring us back together. My beautiful beautiful Lorelai. God. I missed looking into your eyes. They are so blue and pure." Lorelai smiles a sly smile, "I can make that go away." Luke grins and laughs gently, "Oh yeah? You don't wanna be that little angel anymore? You wanna throw all of that away for me?"
Lorelai smirks, "I'll no longer be pure to others. But as long as I'm still pure in your eyes… this is worth it." Luke gently takes Lorelais shirt off and runs his hands over her body, "God. You are definitely an angel." Lorelai leans up to kiss him and motions to him with her fingers, "Come here and I'll give you my halo." Luke pushes her down gently and lets go of all his senses.
The Next Morning-
Luke wakes up with Lorelai tangled up in his arms, and her long curly dark brown locks spread all over the pillow. He smiles at the peaceful sight and kisses her forehead. Lorelai stirs a little, before waking up and looking at Luke with a sleepy smile, "Hi knight in shining flannel. Did you sleep well?" He smiles back at her, "I did. How did you sleep crazy lady?" Lorelai giggles, "Best sleep I've had in almost a year." She smiles a sly smile, and laughs. Luke looks at her with a confused look, "What is it?" Lorelai peaks under the covers to find their naked bodies and says in a mock upset tone , "Luke… we did it. We aren't virgins anymore. We are bad. Bad children." He just laughs at her quietly. Lorelai hits him playfully, "You are a mean man, Lucas William Danes. Mean I say."
After a few minutes, Luke speaks with a serious tone, "Lorelai, I'm glad we did it. I'm glad that it was you and me. I'm glad it wasn't somebody else, screaming my name over and over like they're at a powwow." Lorelai laughs, "Did you like the way I screamed it? I wanted to turn you on like some fancy Christmas lights." Luke groans, "Geez Lorelai. Did ya have to say it like that?" She rests her head on his chest, "Babe, I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. But I do agree. I'm glad it was you and me. Always and forever, backwards baseball cap." Luke smiles, "Always and forever, crazy lady." Luke looks down at the ring on her finger, and the locket, "You kept your promise. You kept them on and never took them off." Lorelai smiles at him brightly, " I see you kept yours." He smiles brightly back when he remembers his baseball cap, "Of course. I wear it all the time. I always think of you when I wear it."
The rest of the day, Luke works on fixing the house for Emily with Lorelais help. But soon, the weekend comes to a close, and Luke has to leave quickly before Emily came home.
Lorelai looks around the house and smiles at Luke who is standing next to her, "It looks wonderful babe. You are the best handyman on the planet." Luke takes her hand in his and intertwines their fingers, "Your mother will be impressed."
Lorelai turns to him, still holding his hands, "Luke, please don't go. You need to stay with me! Or you know what? I can go with you. I've always wanted to move to Stars Hollow. I'll go get a bag packed." As Lorelai moves away from him to go put together a bag, Luke pulls her back into his arms. "Lorelai", Luke says with tears in his eyes, "It's time Lorelai. I can't keep doing this to you. You know I want and need you more than anything, but I am pushing boundaries. Your parents hate me. And the more I break their rules, the more I loose you to them. I'm so sorry beautiful." Lorelai looks at Luke through her tears, "Luke, please don't do this. I love you so much." Luke raps his arms around her waist, and plants one more kiss on her quivering lips then whispers, " Goodbye crazy lady. I will love you, always and forever." Lorelai tearfully sighs, and bends down to pick up Luke's abandoned baseball cap, and sits it back on top of his head, "Goodbye backwards baseball cap. And I love you, always and forever."
Luke walks out of the house, and isn't seen by Lorelai until 5 years later.
Weeks later, Lorelais 16th birthday-
Lorelai has had serious nausea and serious food cravings. One of those cravings is apples. Now, Lorelai doesn't normally eat fruit at all, so this was weirding her out. Early in the morning, Lorelai has her cotillion dress fitting and a portrait to take. When Lorelai goes to try on her dress, the zipper won't zip, and Lorelai just thinks that she's getting fat, because she's been eating so much. When Lorelai is taking so long to put of the dress, Emily is getting very impatient, so she comes upstairs. "Lorelai, why won't this zip?! It was best when you stopped eating. From now on, you are eating very tiny amounts. I hope I can find a seamstress who can sow a dress really fast by this evening, or I will have to postpone. Lorelai, change your outfit. I'm done with you for the day."
Lorelai feels the tears burning at the corners of her eyes. Her mother never even said happy birthday, gave her a smile or kind gesture. But Richard knew that Lorelai was hurt, so he left flowers outside her door and a note that said that, Sookie was coming to visit her. Lorelai really was scared and thought of the possibilities of being pregnant with Lukes baby. Lorelai picks up the telephone and calls Sookie, "Hey Sook. On your way here, could you please pick up a pregnancy test? Thanks Sook. Okay. Bye." When she hangs up with Sookie, she lets out a heavy sigh. She wondered if this was going to change everything. She knew that this wasn't planned, she and Luke both wanted to have kids someday, but she guessed that God had decided that the time was right now.
10 minutes later after taking the pregnancy test-
"SOOKIE! THE STRIP TURNED PINK! OH GOD!" Lorelai screamed to Sookie through her bathroom door. Sookie turned very pale, "Hon. I'm happy but scared for you at the same time. Your mom will never forgive you. Your dad will be somewhat upset, but he loved Luke so it wouldn't effect him on any way. Lorelai comes out of the bathroom with tears streaming down her cheeks, "I wish I could tell Luke. But my mom still has ban on Luke. Ugh."
"Lorelai, he'll find out soon I promise. Okay? Your mother can't keep treating you like this forever."
"I don't know Sook. But I can tell you this, I'm not a child anymore, and I don't want to be treated like one."
