As Lorelai lay in bed that night, a million thoughts about Luke rushed
through her head. She thought about all the things he had done for her over
the years, and the feeling she got watching Luke with Kiera. Finding it
hard to sleep, Lorelai pushed the thoughts aside, and let the soft
breathing of Luke and Kiera lull her to sleep.
At about midnight, a high-pitched cry woke both Luke and Lorelai. Luke was the first one up, and took Kiera out of the crib. He brought her over to Lorelai, who had sat up and was reaching for the baby. Lorelai softly rocked the Kiera, and had Luke run downstairs and warm up a bottle. While she was waiting, Lorelai continued rocking Kiera and began to hum softly. When Luke returned, he handed her the bottle and sat on the corner of the bed watching. "Okay, all done." Lorelai said, when Kiera pushed the bottle away. "Wanna put her back Luke?" Luke just nodded, and picked Kiera out of Lorelai's arms.
Luke walked over to the crib, and gently placed Kiera down. The baby closed her eyes, and fell back to sleep immediately. Luke pulled a blanket over Kiera, and ran his thumb over her forehead. Lorelai watched, and unknowingly smiled. Luke turned around to see her with a dreamy smile. "What?" he asked, using a quiet voice so he wouldn't disturb Kiera.
"I never took you to be so good with babies." Lorelai said, not sure as to what to say.
"Well, you haven't ever really seen me around babies." Luke said shrugging.
"I guess you're right, well I'm gonna go back to sleep now, goodnight Luke." Lorelai said, as she snuggled back into her covers.
"Yep, goodnight" Luke replied as he lay back down. Soon all three were sound asleep once more.
The next morning, Lorelai and Luke both woke up, very tired. Kiera had woken up again at one thirty, and then at three." Come on Lorelai, time to get up." Luke said as he shook her lightly.
'Don't want to. Need more sleep. Baby cry all night." Lorelai mumbled incoherently. Luke laughed at her response.
"Come I have to get up now too. Let's go up. We both have work, and need to decide who is taking Kiera with them."
"Ok fine I'm up. I'm up but I'm not happy. You better make me coffee."
"I already have some brewing downstairs." Luke said, as Lorelai climbed out of bed.
"Good boy. Oh, I'm taking this week off to watch the baby, so we don't have to worry about finding someone to watch her."
"Ok. You can hang around the diner if you want. Bring some movies or whatever. That way if you need me or need to run somewhere, I'm right there and don't have to leave the diner."
"Sounds good. I'll come by a little later, oh shoot, I'm gonna run and take a shower real quick, while your still here, ok?" Lorelai said as she got up and started rummaging through her dresser.
"Yep. But be quick, because I have to be at the diner in a half hour."
"Yep, I'll be in and out. Scouts honor." Lorelai said holding her hand in the air." Luke shook his head and turned to go downstairs, glancing sideways at the crib that held Kiera, and smiled. Maybe this could shed some light on his and Lorelai's back and forth relationship. Plus, he really didn't mind playing daddy for a little while.
