A few days later the only thing that had changed around the Gilmore house
was that Kiera was gone. Lorelai would not let Luke leave, and her
reasoning for this remained unknown to Rory who had moved back from her
extended stay at the Kim's. Lorelai and Rory were packing for Rory's stay
with her father that weekend.
"Um mom, can I ask you something?" Rory asked cautiously.
"You just did." Lorelai said smirking
"Mom." Rory chided
"Okay, what is it?" Lorelai asked as she pulled some shirts out of Rory's dresser.
"Okay, Kiera has been gone for a few days, so why.is Luke still here?" Rory asked, looking Lorelai in the eyes.
"That's between Luke and myself, but if it makes you feel better, I'll have him leave while you're with your dad." Lorelai said, suddenly looking sad.
"No. It's just.I was wondering, that's all."
"I know it's probably weird for you but I don't know. I like having him around, especially since Kiera is gone. Luke and I really bonded taking care of her together, and with her gone, and you leaving to stay with your dad for the weekend, I really need someone here, because I got really attached, and she's gone, and it hurts." Lorelai said starting to cry again. Rory sighed and wrapped her arms around her mom.

The next night, around six o'clock, Lorelai, Rory and Luke, who had left Caesar in charge, sat eating dinner and watching TV, when they saw Christopher pull in. Rory finished the last few bites of her burger, and went to greet her father. Luke noticed a woman who got out of the car with him, who looked very pregnant. He turned to Lorelai. "Are you gonna be okay?" he asked sincerely.
"Yea, just tell him I have a headache, and send Rory up to say goodbye. I'm still not talking to him." Lorelai said as she went upstairs.
"Okay." Luke said to Lorelai's retreating back. A few minutes later, Rory, Chris and Sherry entered. Chris looked around and then asked
"Where's Lorelai?"
"She is upstairs in bed. She has a headache." Luke said in a tone that told Chris to change the subject or leave.
"Oh, okay. So who are you?" he asked after a few seconds.
"Oh dad, you remember Luke." Rory said before Luke could. She could tell by the look on his face, that he didn't want any small talk, and for Chris to go.
"The guy who works at the diner? What's he doing here?" Chris asked in a snotty tone.
"None of your damn business." Luke said as if daring Luke to question further.
"I'll explain on the car ride." Rory said, hoping to end the conversation.
"Fine I guess we should run up and say by." Chris said motioning towards Rory, and moving towards the staircase.
"Lorelai said to send Rory up. Alone." Luke said as he stood in front of Chris, blocking him from going any further.
'I think I should be allowed to talk to her, as I'm taking our daughter for the weekend." Chris said snottily as though he proved his right to barge throughout the house.
"Oh really? I suppose you that means you're also allowed to lie and break her heart more than once? I don't think so." Luke said his voice rising. Lorelai, having heard this encounter, came downstairs fuming.
"Rory, come say goodbye to me, and Chris go wait outside. She'll meet you there." Lorelai said coldly, glaring at Chris.
"Fine." Chris mumbled as he gathered Rory's stuff and headed outside, followed by Sherry, who was still silent, as though she knew better to even speak.
"I'm sorry mom. You have a headache and I. he." Rory said, obviously upset.
"It's okay sweetie. I feel fine, I just didn't want to talk, and didn't expect him to start something." Lorelai said hugging Rory. Goodbye. "Have fun, be safe, and feel free to come home early, or not even go at all."
"I have to I already said I would, and dad has all kinds of stuff planned. Rory replied.
" Err. Okay." Lorelai said
"I'll see you Sunday night, okay?" Rory asked as she pulled away.
"Yep. See ya." Lorelai said hugging Rory one last time, before Rory left, giving Luke a quick hug.
"Take care of her for me." Rory asked Luke, whispering in his ear.
"I will. You have fun and be sure to call, or your mom may go even nuttier than she already is." Luke said giving Lorelai a sly smile.
"I heard that." Lorelai said, though Luke could see her smile. Rory nodded, and walked out the door. Luke and Lorelai watched as Rory got and the car and Chris speed off down the driveway. Lorelai turned and smiled lightly. "Looks like we have the place to ourselves."
"She's only going to be gone for two days, with the Slime King no less, but still only two days.' Luke said causing Lorelai to smile at his calling Christopher the Slime King.
"Your right. Hey, how about we watch a movie, and break out the beer?" Lorelai asked looking sad again.
"Okay, you choose the movie I'll go get the beer." Luke said moving towards the kitchen. Lorelai smiled lightly, and sighed. She was very glad Luke was here to hold her together when everything felt like it was falling apart.

Well, another chapter posted. I know exactly were I'm going, but I want your opinion. Should:
Luke and Lorelai get drunk one night and profess their undying love for each other.
Luke and Lorelai kiss, and not talk for several days, until one emotional night when they run into each others arms, and admit their feelings
C. Decide to start a family together, but not tell that they are in love with each other, at least not in the beginning.
"Um mom, can I ask you something?" Rory asked cautiously.
