With Rory at her fathers, Luke and Lorelai found themselves becoming closer
than ever. The night after Rory left, they were both on the couch watching
a movie. Lorelai lay with her head in Luke's lap, and he was rubbing her
back lightly.
"Luke is their any more coffee in the pot?" Lorelai asked lifting her head to look at him.
"There should be, go look." Lorelai got up and walked into the kitchen, to find the pot empty.
"Lukey." She called walking towards the living room.
"What?" Luke asked, knowing what was coming next.
"It's empty."
"So make more."
"But yours is so much better." She said pouting as she crouched down in front of him. "Please please please make more" Luke sighed deeply, knowing she would win anyway.
"Ok, ok. Just stop with the pouting already." Luke said getting up.
"Thank you." Lorelai said excitedly, as she followed Luke into the kitchen and watched as he made her coffee, and boiled water for tea for himself. "Hey Luke?" Lorelai asked after a few seconds of silence had passed.
"What?"
"Thank you for helping me out these past weeks, with everything." Lorelai said sincerely.
"No problem. It was kinda fun. Made me realize that I do want kids someday." Luke said looking Lorelai in the eyes.
"Really? I think you'll make a really good dad. You were awesome with Kiera." Lorelai said smiling, remembering the week and a half they played mommy and daddy.
"Thanks. You do make a great mom." They smiled at each other and Lorelai reached out and took Luke's hand. He gently massaged Lorelai's palm with his thumb. Then the kettle whistled, killing the moment. 'Damn kettle.' Luke thought as he poured his tea and Lorelai's coffee, which was also done. The two went back into the living room and sat down to finish the movie.
About an hour later Luke and Lorelai were curled up together asleep on the couch when the phone rang, waking them both. Lorelai reached over to the end table and grabbed it.
"Hello?"
"Hey mom it's me."
"Rory! How is your trip?" Lorelai asked untangling herself from Luke and walking into the kitchen.
"Not much. Today we went down to Harvard, and took an official tour. Then we went out for a late lunch, early dinner at some nice restaurant."
"Sounds like fun."
"So how are things at home?"
"Okay I guess. Luke and I just hung around the house today. He got Caesar to cover and came home around lunchtime."
"So what did you do? Watch movies?"
"Pretty much. I think we had a moment."
"A moment?"
"You know a moment."
"Ah right, so tell me about this "moment", leave nothing out."
"Well, we were in the kitchen, and he was making coffee for me, and tea for himself. I thanked him for everything he's helped me with theses last couple of weeks. Then we held hands, and were looking each other in the eyes, and I don't know. It was just, a moment."
"Aw, sounds nice. Hold on for a second."
"Yep." Lorelai looked into the living and smiled. Luke was asleep again. She couldn't help but think of how much she was going to hate it when he moved back to his apartment. She knew he would, the other night she asked if he wanted to stay longer than just the next week, she said she would fix up the guestroom. He could have an actual house to come home to, as well as other people. But he had declined, saying it wouldn't be right. Personally she thought it was because of the rumors. Damn that Miss Patty. Damn the town. She was convinced it was somehow their fault that Luke didn't want to stay.
"Mom, I'm back." Rory's voice snapped Lorelai out of her reverie.
"I can tell." Lorelai teased.
"You can't see, but I'm rolling my eyes at you."
"That's no way to treat your mother, the women that birthed you."
"I'm am so sorry. Um, listen I have to go. We're gonna go see a movie. I'll call you tomorrow, okay?"
"Yep, talk to you tomorrow. Have fun."
"I will, bye."
"Bye." Lorelai said sadly, as she hung up. She walked back into the living room and saw that Luke had left her space on the couch. Smiling again, she laid back down a drifted to sleep.

A/N: Okay, so what do you think? The next chapter should have much much more javajunkie action, and Luke and Lorelai will have to make an important decision.
"Luke is their any more coffee in the pot?" Lorelai asked lifting her head to look at him.
"There should be, go look." Lorelai got up and walked into the kitchen, to find the pot empty.
"Lukey." She called walking towards the living room.

"It's empty."
"So make more."

"That's no way to treat your mother, the women that birthed you."
