Chapter 4

In the following morning, Lorelai comes to Rory's room. Rory is still sleeping.

- Rory. Rory.

- Hum.

- Rory, wake up.

- What happened?

- I have to know if you have fever. Wow, you're really bad. You'll have to be home today. - Lorelai grabs the phone - I'll just call the Inn telling that I won't work today, that I'll be home.

- No, mom. I'll be fine. I take the rain, I'll be at home.

- But you're cold, and sick, and.

- You won't stay at home because of me.

- Ok. So I'll go at Luke's to bring you some food for the day.

- Great. Ah, bring me a apple pie.

- Sure.

Lorelai comes at Luke's.

- Hey, Lor. Everything ok?

- Actually, no. Rory is sick, with fever, and cold, and she won't go to school, but don't let me stay at home to take care of her. So, I came to buy some food, to her, so she can eat, you know.

- Calm down, she will be fine. She needs anything? Can I help?

- No, thanks, Luke. I just want six, no, eight cups of coffee to go, after all she is sick. A apple pie, pancakes, burger, French fries, and all for two.

- I thought you would work.

- And I'll, but eat alone is depressing, and you ends eating for two.

- Right. It's gonna take some time. When it's already I'll deliver.

- Ah, who will deliver?

- Caesar.

- Great - Lorelai pay for the food and walks to the door.

- If you need anything call me.

- Thanks, Luke.

Jess comes from the kitchen in this moment. He had heard all conversation between Luke and Lorelai.

- Hey, Luke, let me deliver that.

- Why do you want to deliver?

- Well, Caesar is making some pies and it's gonna disturb him.

- Hum, yeah, I know. Well, the food it's not already yet, so when Caesar finish-

- It's ready. I packed everything while Lorelai asked, and for coincidence, Caesar was ending the apple pies just in time. So, its just deliver.

- Well, I don't see why you can't deliver.

Jess goes to the kitchen and then come our with two packages of food and one of books.

- Hey, Jess, don't do anything stupid.

Jess shakes his head, like if he wasn't listening.

- Oh, Luke, I won't work today. I have some things to do.

- But-

Too late. Jess was gone.
