Jess was still asleep on the couch when twelve a.m. came. No Liz, yet.
Lorelai yawned and opened her eyes. She looked over and saw Luke sitting in a chair.
"Hey."
Luke looked at her and smiled.
"Hi."
"Thanks for watching Jess while I was sleeping."
"Sure. After all he is my nephew."
She smiled. She forgot to tell him about the phone call she made. How could she forget a thing like that?
"I made a phone call earlier," She started as she looked at Luke. He was looking at her.
"I wanted to see when Liz was coming home. When I called, a man picked up the phone. I asked if she was there and he said he didn't know a Liz."
"He's probably just playing a trick on you."
"No, I don't think so. He sounded serious."
"Did you try calling the other people on the list?"
"There were no other people on the list."
"Well, I'm not worried. She'll be home."
She nodded and smiled. What was she worried about?
Lorelai's cell phone ringed. She reached over the table and grabbed her cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?" A loud, annoying voice asked.
"I am still babysitting, Mom. Jess's mother hasn't come home, yet."
"Okay. Anybody else over there?"
Lorelai glanced over at Luke.
"Nope, just Jess and me."
"Be home as soon as she walks in the door."
"Okay, Mother."
Lorelai closed her phone before her mother could rant on about something else.
"What did your mother want?"
"Wanted to know why I wasn't home, yet."
"Oh. What did your mother ask when you said 'Nope, just Jess and me?'
"Nosey, aren't we?"
"Sorry."
She laughed.
"She asked if anybody else was over here."
He cocked his head sideways.
"Did I suddenly come invisible?"
She laughed, again.
"When it's my mother, you'd wish you'd never met her."
"Aw, she can't be that bad!"
"Trust me, she is."
He sighed and then smiled.
He walked over and sat next to her.
He rested his arm on the top of the couch. He turned sideway and cleared his throat. She looked at him and smiled.
He smiled and looked into her eyes. Her eyes were telling him it was okay. They both leaned in; gently touching each's other lips.
"I am so sorry that I am late!" Liz said as she walked into the front door.
Luke pulled away, coughing. He hoped that Liz didn't see them in the dark.
Lorelai cleared her throat and grabbed Jess from the couch.
She walked over to Liz.
"Where have you been?"
"I'm sorry I am late. I got caught up in all the fun and forgot what time it was."
Lorelai nodded and handed Jess to her.
"I called the number you left and nobody knew you."
"Oh, I didn't go there. I went somewhere else. Sorry I didn't call you."
Liz looked over at the moving outline of a man.
"Luke is that you?"
"Yeah." He said, standing up.
"Why are you here?"
"Well, become a certain sister I won't say any names, called me and told me to watch her son."
"Oh, god! Luke, I totally forgot about that. I'm sorry!"
He nodded. "It's okay."
"Why is it so dark in here?" Liz asked them.
"The power went out all over town." Luke said.
"Oh, I wouldn't know that because I was out of town."
"Uh huh. Right," Lorelai said. "I need to get home. I'll pick up the money later."
"Okay, hon. Thank you so much."
"I'll walk you out." Luke said to her.
They opened the door and walked out onto the front porch.
"Did--."
Lorelai shutted him up by kissing him deeply.
She wrapped her arms around his neck as their tongues battled each other.
"Umm," Liz said, as she stood at the door.
They abruptly pulled away from each other.
"I just wanted to know when you last fed him."
Lorelai was breathless. She finally felt words come out.
"A few hours ago."
"Okay," Liz smiled at them. "Carry on."
They looked at each other and blushed.
"Where were we?" Lorelai asked as she put her arms around his neck and he put his hands on her waist.
"Right about here..." He smiled as he kissed her.
The power suddenly came back on. They both glanced up at the light above them and smiled. Both of them looked at each other, knowing that the light of darkness is what brought them together.
