A/N: Here's the fourth chapter! Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
A week later Lorelai and Rory walked into the diner with sad expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong?" Luke asked them when he brought them coffee.
"They found out that the 'safe trap' killed two deer. It was our deer!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"You had deer?"
"Well, we named them. We called them Daffodil and Daisy. And now they're in the big green forest in the sky."
He rolled his eyes. "So since you are so depressed, you forgot about what's happening today?"
"What?"
"Today I have to go to Yale for orientation," Rory said.
"No! You can't leave me! This day really sucks. I won't be able to see you until Friday after my lovely parents get to see you."
"I'm sorry Mom, but that's life."
"I told you not to go to Yale."
"But Mom, if I went to Harvard, I wouldn't be able to see you every weekend and on other days when I don't have school."
"That is true."
"So, chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon?"
"Yeah. Thanks Luke," Lorelai said monotonously.
He came out with their food and they noticed that he added a few slices for French toast.
"That's so nice of you Luke!" Lorelai said before digging into the pancakes. "Mm, extra fluffy today!"
"Yummy!" Rory said. "Extra chocolate chips!"
"Lucas Danes, you're my heero!"
"That's for cheesy!"
He smirked. "Glad to know I made you happy." He paused and thought. "Hey, that little hero thing, did you take it for Ferris Bueller's Day Off?"
"Yep! 'Ferris Bueller, you're my heero!'" Lorelai said.
"Ok then, I'm gonna go let you devoir your food."
"Thanks honey!"
He rolled his eyes as he took someone else's order.
----------------------------------------
"I can't believe Luke didn't let us pay," Lorelai said as they loaded Rory's stuff in her car.
"I know, but that was really sweet of him."
"Yeah. Rory, what am I going to do while you're gone?"
"Annoy Luke?"
Lorelai rolled her eyes. "Well, yeah. But what else?"
"Hmm, get knocked up by Luke."
She gasped. "Perverted child! What happen to your brain and your common sense?"
"Maybe I just need to get back to a school campus, then my brain will start working."
"Yep. So, hey, you never told me why you didn't go to your grandparent's when we came back."
"Oh yeah. Grandpa was out of town and Grandma had a cold. Also the maid didn't go shopping so she let me skip."
"Why was your grandpa out of town?"
"He was helping Grams get ready to move to Hartford."
"Really, and how did they lovely Emily get sick?"
"One of the maids."
"Oh Rory! Why didn't you tell me? I could have made up funny jokes about the it!"
"Ok, o comedic mother of mine, tell me one of your jokes."
"Well, Emily was so busy, she forgot to let her maids back in from rolling around in the dirt!"
"That's it?" Rory asked. "That's all you have?"
Lorelai shrugged. "I'm working on it."
"Mom, you're losing your touch."
She gasped. "Don't say that! First I'll lose my jokes, then my sarcasm, then my beauty, and then my hair! Of course after that I'll just die."
"By then you'll be at least 80. God, I won't be behind."
"Yep, just the horrible age of 64, how will you survive?"
"Uh oh."
Lorelai starts singing, "First I was afraid, I was petrified, kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. But then I spent so many night, just thinking how you did me wrong, and I grew strong, and I learned how to get along. So now you're back-"
"Mom."
"-from outer space. I just walked in and found you here with that sad look upon your face. I should have changed that stupid lock, I should've made you leave your key-"
"MOM!"
Lorelai scoffed. "Rory! You threw off my groove!"
"Soooooorrrrrrrrryyyy!" Rory said mocking the old man falling out of the window from The Emperor's New Groove.
She smiled. "Ok sweets. It's time for you to go."
"Yep, and remember, Mom, you're not allowed to cry."
"Don't worry honey, the tears won't come unless you disown me. And you won't do that, cause only Mommies are allowed to do that."
"Ok. So, no crying or disowning."
"Deal."
They shook hands. "I'm going to miss you, Mom."
Lorelai pulled Rory into a hug. "I'm gonna miss you too, Mini Me."
"No."
"No what?"
"We made a deal."
"Honey, I'm not gonna cry."
"You better not cause then I'll start and I don't want to cause it will impair my vision."
"I know, so no tears whatsoever."
Rory sniffed and avoided her mother's eyes. "Ok, so I'll see you next weekend after I get all settled."
"Don't you dare."
"I'm trying not to." Rory looked into her mother's eyes. "You're getting teary, too."
"But they're not gonna fall, I'm making sure of it."
"Mom, why did we make a deal, we never keep them."
"I know, hun," Lorelai said as the tears started falling.
"Mommy," Rory said crying and grabbing her mother.
They hugged and cried for a few minutes. They finally dried their tears and hugged one last time before Rory got in her car and drove off.
----------------------------------------
Lorelai walked into the diner with a large frown on her face. She sat down on a stool in front of the counter and waited for Luke to come by with coffee.
"Rory leave?" a voice asked behind her.
She didn't turn around. "Yeah."
She heard Luke walk behind the counter and stand in front of her. She looked up and saw him pour her a cup of coffee in the big mug he gave her. She smiled weakly when he set in front of her. "What do you want?"
She sighed. "Double bacon cheeseburger with extra cheese and bacon, and a huge plate of cheesy fries."
"Be right back," he said and he walked toward the kitchen.
She sighed and looked around the nearly empty diner. When she turned back around she saw Luke standing there. "Ah!" she yelled.
"What?"
"You scared me. You just appeared out of nowhere."
"Oh, sorry."
"It's ok."
"So, wanna talk?"
"About?"
He shrugged. "Anything. I've been having a slow day."
She sighed. "I've been having a sad day."
"Well, let's talk then."
"Um, ooh, wanna know why Rory didn't go to Richard's and Emily's last week?"
"Sure."
"Well, my father was in England help my grandmother move, and my mother was sick with a cold. How come that never happened when I had to go have dinner with them?" He shrugged. "Because they're evil and love to mess with me!"
Luke rolled his eyes. "Lorelai, you're crazy. Maybe your mother never got sick was because she took excellent care of her health. It was just bad luck that she caught a cold."
"You mean good luck," Lorelai mumbled.
"You drive me crazy, you know that?"
She smiled. "Do you know what you just said?"
His eyes widened. "Lorelai, if you start singing I'm gonna kick you-"
"She drives me crazy. Oh, oh. And I don't know what hit her. Oh, oh. She drives me crazy, and I can't help myself," she sang.
"That's it. Get out, Lorelai."
"No, Luke! This song rules!"
He walked over to her side of the counter, grabbed her arm and pulled her outside. "You can come back in when you stop singing and get some sense in that head of yours."
She scoffed. "Fine then, I'll just find myself a new coffee supplier."
He closed the door behind him. She stuck out her tongue at the door. Lorelai rolled her eyes and started walking away from the diner with an angry expression.
----------------------------------------
"Hello?"
"I know what I'm having!!" Sookie squealed into the phone.
"Oh my god! Tell me!" Lorelai squeaked back.
"I'm having a beautiful, healthy baby girl!"
She smiled. "Oh sweetie! That's so wonderful! I'm so happy for you two."
"Yeah, Jackson's so excited, he just went out to buy pink paint for the baby's room."
"That's great. So, are you thinking of names already?"
"Well, we've always liked Jennifer and Marie."
"But?"
"How did you know there was a but?"
"Sookie, you didn't really end your sentence, you just left it hanging in the air."
"Really?" Sookie looked up.
"I hope you're kidding."
"Oh honey, I am!"
"Ok, so, your but?"
"Oh right. The name I love the most is Lorelai, though."
Lorelai smiled. "Really?"
"Yeah, but I know it's saved for Rory's daughter."
Lorelai thought for a second. "Sook, you know we don't own the rights to that name, and there are lots of nicknames for it, so. . . take it."
Sookie's eyes widened. "What?"
"Sweetie, if you want it for your little girl, then take it. I mean, later she can say 'I got my name from my Auntie Lorelai.' It'll make me feel so happy."
Sookie squealed. "Oh my god, really?"
"Really, really."
"I love you, Lorelai!"
She smiled. "Love you too, Sookie."
"Jackson!" Sookie said when she saw him walk through the doorway. "Lorelai's letting us name the baby Lorelai!"
"Oh my god, that's great!" Lorelai heard Jackson say. "Thanks Lorelai!"
"Tell him 'your welcome'," Lorelai said into the phone.
"She said 'your welcome'!" Sookie said.
"Listen, Sook, I'm gonna give Rory a call so I'll talk to you later."
"Ok, bye honey, thanks again."
Lorelai smiled. "No problem." She hung up the phone and stared at it. "We're just getting more and more Lorelai's every day."

A/N: There was a little JavaJunkie-ness in there, but I really wanna have more in these chapters, but it would just spoil my story, so it's gonna be a little slow for just a while. I know you didn't get to the full 12 reviews, but I just wanted to post the next chapter. I would like 9 reviews before I carry on for my next chapter. Thank you! Au revoir for now!
