The next morning…
"Can I come in?" Luke asked as he tapped lightly on the door to Lorelai's hospital room.
"Sure, I'm almost ready." She replied.
Lorelai was leaning shakily on the side of her bed. In her other hand she was holding her purse and the bag of spare clothes Emily had retrieved for her. Luke quickly walked over and took them from her, noticing her hands tremble as he did.
"Are you sure your ok to go home?" he asked.
"I'm fine, really. I'm just a little hungry, that's all." She smiled feebly. "Can you check those draws for me, make sure there's nothing left. Then we can go."
Luke moved over to check the draws, noticing they were empty he turned back to Lorelai.
"Shall we proceed?" She asked.
Luke nodded and started to walk towards the door but turned again when he noticed Lorelai wasn't following. She was struggling to walk, only making a few centimeters in progress.
"I need some help Luke." She said softly, a tear coming to her eye.
"It's ok, don't worry about it." He smiled reassuringly.
Luke put an arm around her waist and led her through the hospital to his truck. They arrived back at the Gilmore household soon after. The two got out of the car and Luke once again helped Lorelai up to the door. Once inside, Lorelai sat on the couch while Luke ran around fixing everything up.
"Do you want me to make you something? Some breakfast from the diner?" Luke asked.
"Sure, and some coffee would be good." Lorelai asked innocently.
"No it wouldn't! I'm not serving you coffee ever again!"
"But I'm allowed to have it! The doctor said that after I've finished my drugs they've tricked me up with I can go back to having coffee," Lorelai smiled. "In moderation of course."
Luke just snorted, "I will eat my hat the day that happens."
"But you look so good in it, I wouldn't want to be the cause of the destruction of the 'Lucas Danes Image.'"
"Don't you ever call me that again!" Luke shouted back into the house as he walked out the door to head to the diner. Lorelai sat back and watched the TV, smiling to herself.
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
Luke had returned to Lorelai half an hour later after making her a huge breakfast. She had told him that he didn't have to be there and could leave to look after the diner but he had refused, insisting that he looked after her. That got her thinking. The diner NEVER came second. Why would he bother to spend his whole day looking after her? Unless…nah, never mind.
Now, they were both sitting watching a movie, Lorelai spread out on the couch with Luke sitting on the floor in front between her and the coffee table. She was quickly getting bored, having seen the movie oodles of times before, and decided to annoy Luke. She started to fiddle with the rim of his backwards baseball cap until finally yanking it off completely. Luke turned and glared at her, knowing he wouldn't get it back until Lorelai decided it was time, he turned back to the movie.
Lorelai smiled again at how easily Luke got annoyed. She reached over again and started to twirl her fingers around in his hair. He groaned,
"You really like to be annoying don't you?"
"Of course."
Lorelai kept playing with his hair until he quickly grabbed her wrist away from his head. She giggled and replaced her hand with her other just as fast as it was taken away. Luke groaned again and grabbed her other hand. Lorelai pouted.
"Hey, you're spoiling my fun!" Just then Lorelai noticed how cold Luke's hands were, "You're so cold, you should have told me! I haven't really noticed the fact were in the middle of winter, I've had a high temperature since we got home. You're such and idiot! I'll be right back."
"Where are you going? Sit down, you're not supposed to do anything!"
Lorelai just kept walking, "I have to start at some point. Rory isn't going to be my lady in waiting, Sir Boss-a-lot!"
Luke signed and turned back to the movie. Seconds later, Lorelai returned to the room with the doona from her bed. When she was just inside the door she stopped and stared and the couch, a small smile forming across her lips.
"Ah Lorelai? Can you move now please? You're scaring me." Luke said, feeling uncomfortable.
"Sorry I just had a brainwave. That very couch you are leaning against is a sofa!"
"I don't quite see your point…."
"Dah! Why are we sitting on a crappy old couch when we could be lying on a sofa?!" Lorelai suggested excitedly.
"Ahh ok, whatever."
Luke got up and moved the coffee table. Lorelai moved over to pull out the bed but Luke gently pushed her away, not wanting her to do any work. Lorelai crossed her arms and pouted but smiled when Luke had finished.
"Oh the joys of comfort!" She said as she lay down on the bed.
"I'm not getting on that bed with you." Luke said sternly.
"May I ask why?"
"You may,"
"Why?" Lorelai said quickly, grinning.
Luke just frowned, "That bed looks unsafe, and the way you keep jumping around I don't think that'll stay up with my weight."
"You're just being a spoil sport. GET ON!"
"Yes Sir!" he gave in.
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
Just half and hour later, Lorelai had fallen asleep. Luke had turned off the TV and just lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling. He heard a small grunt pass Lorelai's lips as she stirred in her sleep. Then she began to move around. She tossed and turned, trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in. Finally, she rolled onto Luke. He went rigid, but began to relax as she snuggled further into his chest. He put an arm around her to keep her steady and after a few minutes, fell into a deep sleep himself.
More to come soon…..the return of Rory, and other …well….stuff… : )
