Chapter 7: Lotsa little mix-ups…
Rory said goodbye to the camp employee that had driven her home from the school trip. She gathered her luggage and rushed into the house. As she closed the front door she noted how quiet it was. Figuring that her mother was asleep, she walked quietly into the lounge room to dump her bags. She smiled when she saw Luke and Lorelai, snuggling up to each other on to the sofa, completely asleep. Placing her stuff gently by the door, she took out her house keys once again and headed out the door.
She had decided to visit Lane, as she didn't want to disturb their sleep. As she walked down the bright streets of Stars Hollow she received quizzical looks from the citizens. Almost everyone had heard about Lorelai's collapse in the diner the day before but hadn't heard any real details. Rory pushed open the gate to Kim's Antiques and walked up to the front door. She was still halfway through knocking as Mrs. Kim opened the door.
"Rory." She said frankly. "Your not supposed to be here! You not run away from camp? You will be punished!"
"No Mrs. Kim, I came home after mum had her accident yesterday, I'm allowed to be here, it's ok."
"I should ring your school! They not realize you missing! They must be sued!" Rory rolled her eyes, Mrs. Kim obviously wasn't listening, "How you get home? You hitchhike? You could have been killed! Or arrested!"
Rory opened her mouth to answer but stopped as she saw Lane's head pop up from behind a cabinet.
"Rory! How are you? How's your mother? When did you get back? How did you get home?" Lane asked a flurry of questions as she guided Rory into the back room. Rory explained everything and suggested they go to Luke's for lunch.
As they walked past Miss Patty's dance studio, Rory explained the scene she walked in on when she got home.
"They were so cute! Mum was snuggled up on Luke's chest and he held her close to him, oh god I sound like a romance novel."
"So your Mum and Luke were sleeping together on the sofa when you walked in?" Lane asked, in a daze.
"Isn't that what I said?" Rory asked, a little confused.
"Sorry I was a little distracted by that guy over there, I think he's staying at the Inn, he been her since yesterday." She explained.
"Oh ok then, your excused." Rory smiled.
As the continued down the street, neither of the girls noticed as Miss Patty rushed back into the studio and straight to the nearest phone.
"Taylor! You won't believe what I heard! Rory was talking to Lane just then, and well I over heard a little bit." She frowned as Taylor accused her of spying, "Shut up for a second! Anyway, Rory said that LUKE and LORELAI were asleep together on the sofa…….yer that's right……snuggled up like lovers I tell you!…spread the word……bye Taylor!" Miss Patty smiled as she hung up.
Taylor put the phone back on the cradle. He turned around and saw Kirk waiting by the register, waiting to be served. Taylor explained the rumor as he loaded the shopping into a "Dosse's Market" bag.
"So Miss Patty said that Luke and Lorelai were sleeping together!"
"Really? So they were 'banging the gong' in the living room?" Kirk said, rather amused.
"That's what she said! See you later Kirk."
Kirk left the market and walked down the street, telling everyone of the news. The rumor had spread so quickly, everyone in Stars Hollow knew about it before Rory and Lane had even reached the diner. A total of 9.54 mintues. As they walked in the door, the other customers in restaurant turned to look, some telling Rory to congratulate the happy couple on their behalf. At first she was confused, but after getting the full story from Caesar, she made a small announcement.
"What ever you have heard, ITS WRONG! Luke and my Mum are NOT sleeping together! They were sleeping together, literally. My mum is sick, he's looking after her so spread the word! ITS NOT TRUE!" she said irritably.
Rory and lane moved over to the counter and sat on a stool each. After ordering some food, they chatted about everything.

Meanwhile…
Lorelai had just woken up from her deep sleep. As her senses returned she realized she was snuggled up to Luke, "Must've moved in my sleep," she thought. Her first impulse was to run away and hide forever out of embarrassment but then she thought about it, everything seemed so comfortable, so…right. She tilted her head carefully to look at Luke while he slept. He seemed so peaceful and cute. He always tried to be so macho, so manly but deep down he was really a big cuddly teddy bear. Lorelai smiled and remembered all the times he had looked out for her and Rory, especially for Rory when he put Dean in a headlock for making her feel miserable. Lorelai was so deep in thought that it took a few minutes for her to realize his eyes were open. She was startled. Luke took it for anger and tried to get up.
"I'm sorry, I should have let go of you, it just that you were asleep and you rolled onto me and I didn't want to wake you up and…"
"Shut up and lie down," Lorelai said as she pushed him back down onto the bed. "I'm comfy so stay here."
It was Luke's turn to be startled, "Ah…ok." He grunted.
Lorelai smiled and snuggled up to him again. Luke still had an apprehensive look on his face but wrapped his arm around her waist once again. It was a few minutes before either of them spoke,
"Luke?" Lorelai asked softly.
"Yeah?"
"Your always look after me right?"
"If you want me to."
"I do."
"Then I will."
"Good."
They both smiled. Luke reached up and began to entwine his fingers in her hair.
"Oh, so when I do that it's annoying but when you do it, it's ok?" Lorelai said smugly.
Luke immediately removed his hand from her hair, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to.."
"You just don't get sarcasm so you? Its fine." She said soothingly.
Luke frowned and put his hand on her waist again.
"I never said you could stop." Lorelai said greedily but followed it up with one of her award-winning smile.
"Sir, Ma'am, Sir!" he said mockingly as placed his hand in her hair once more.
The two just lay in silence for a while, thinking about each other, until they heard Rory and Lane coming up the driveway. Luke raised his head and realized that Rory had been home, her luggage still waiting on the floor by the stairs.
Luke and Lorelai both got up to meet them at the front door.
