Luke and Lorelei drove up to the big brown house on Ponderosa Drive
in the same car. They weren't a couple, because both, even in their old
age, didn't want to sabotage their beautiful relationship. Yes, there were
times over the years where they might have shared one or two secretive
kisses, but nothing major.
" LUKEY! We're here!" Lorelei squealed once Luke parked the car.
" Yes we are, and could you please refrain from calling me Lukey?" Luke
asked opening his car door with a sigh.
" I'll try, but sometimes I just get SOO excited. YEAH! I get to see my
boys!" Lorelei exclaimed as she bounded up to the front stoop.
" Here goes nothing." Luke said softly to himself, smirking slightly at
Lorelei's childish behavior.
Lorelei knocked repeatedly on the front door until Harrison came to open
it.
" HARRY!" Lorelei exclaimed, hugging her grandson with such vigor. She was
the only one Harrison permitted to call him that.
" Hey gram! Come in. Hey Uncle Luke!" Harrison stated, opening the door
wider in order to let the very differing pair inside.
" Shane!" Lorelei stated running over to her youngest grandson and hugging
him with just as much vigor as his brother.
"Hi gram."
" MOM! How are you?" Rory asked coming out from the dinning room.
" Rory, I'm good. How are you baby?" Lorelei asked giving her daughter a
hug.
" I'm good, tired, but good. Hey Luke, Jess is outback if you want to go
see him"
" Okay." Luke sated walking down the hall and out the backdoor.
" So mom how was the drive?"
" Not too bad, I counted exactly fifteen deer on the way." Lorelei said
sitting down next to Harrison on the couch.
" Yeah, there are a lot of deer around here." Rory responded, sitting in
the rocking chair next to the crackling fire.
" Why didn't you stay in Stars Hollow? Instead you had to move three miles
away from me." Lorelei said pouting.
" Oh mom, three miles is NOT long. Besides, Jess had a really good job
offer up here."
"I know, hey when are the rest of the feasters coming?" Lorelei asked.
" They should be here soon. Dinner isn't until about two, they have two
hours." Rory responded petting their English bulldog Chadwick.
" True. So Shane, do you have any girlfriends I should know about?" Lorelei
asked winking.
Shane turned ten shades of red; everyone knew he had a sweet spot for Lana
Sanders, Lane and Dave's daughter (does anyone know Dave's last name?).
" You don't have to answer that, what about you Harry?" Lorelei asked
chuckling still at Shane's face.
" Well, no none right now. Still waiting for the right one." Harrison
stated.
" All in good time my son, all in good time." Lorelei said patting Harrison
on the knee.
" Hey ma!" Jess said walking in from outside with Luke. (Did Jess just call
Lorelei mom? Yes! Over the years Jess and Lorelei had put the past behind
them and actually became quite close)
" Jess, hey!" Lorelei exclaimed rising from her seat.
" How are you doing?" Jess asked placing his arm around Lorelei.
" I doing good, still begging your old uncle there to let me remodel the
diner." Lorelei stated winking at Luke.
" No, for the hundredth-millionth time, NO!" Luke stated taking Lorelei's
place next to Harrison on the couch.
" Ahh Uncle Luke, he's set in his ways. Does anyone want something to
drink?" Jess asked walking into the kitchen.
" Look at me, what a hostess. I didn't even offer you two anything to
drink. Yes, do you want something?" Rory asked following her husband into
the kitchen.
" No I'm fine, and Lorelei doesn't need anything until dinner, cause she'll
only ask for coffee and she doesn't need to be anymore hyper." Luke
answered from the living room.
Rory laughed, just like old times. Just like old times...
