Hearing her cell phone buzz on the nightstand, Loralie woke with a start.
"Rory?" Loralie said after nearly falling off the bed to reach her cell phone.
"Um, no its Luke," said the voice on the other line.
"Sorry, when someone calls me at 1a.m. I always fear that something has happened to Rory," Loralie said quickly as she sat up to read the clock. "Luke, why are you calling me at one in the morning?"
"Um, I needed to talk to someone," Luke mumbled on the other end.
"Now! Okay I'll be at the diner soon," she said standing up from her bed.
"Well, I'm actually at the inn. I'm talking on the front desk phone."
"What! I'll be there in a minute or make it a few minutes," Loralie said as she tried to unwind the covers off of her, nearly falling off the bed again.
In five minutes Loralie was out of her room and walking down the short hallway to the main desk.
"You better have a good reason for waking me up so early, and not even bringing coffee!" Loralie said looking down at Luke's empty hands.
"Oh, um, do you want to go get some? We can go back to the diner," Luke said feeling horrible for waking Loralie up, especially knowing how hard she had been working trying to get the inn ready.
"Since I am the only person here, I can't leave but I will let you make me some coffee in those little hotel makers that just came. They aren't as good as yours but they will do for now," Loralie said, quickly feeling sorry for the way she had greeted him. "Why don't we go to my room and we will talk there?"
Luke followed Loralie into her room and as he made coffee he explained to her what had happened since she left the diner the night before.
"Oh my, do you really think she is your daughter?" Loralie said as she sipped her coffee mug, still shocked by what Luke had told her.
"I think so. I mean it all fits right and I guess there is no way to actually tell." Luke said sitting on the bed next to Loralie. In all other situations he would have been scared to death to sit next to the woman of his dreams on her bed, but under the present circumstance he could only think about the girl across the hall.
"Well actually that's not true. You could do one of those DNA test things, like they do on all those talk shows."
"I'm not going on one of those talk shows!"
"You don't have to, just talk to your doctor and Amy tomorrow and see if it is something you want to do. Or you could try to find Rachel." Loralie said reluctantly, remembering how she had left Luke the last time breaking his heart in the process. "That isn't an option, and I'll talk to Amy about the other. Thanks for letting me wake you up; I just needed to talk to someone about this. I mean at least with Jess he was a guy and I knew he had existed, but Amy is just."
"Your daughter, least allegedly." Loralie said as she looked to Luke with concern. "Luke, do you want her to be your daughter? I mean you've never really said that you wanted kids, actually you've said the opposite."
"But Amy isn't a kid, at least not anymore. Besides I've just never thought I would be good at the whole father thing," Luke said standing up.
"But do you want a daughter now, especially one that you haven't seen grow up?" Loralie said, wondering how she would have felt if she had only met Rory after she had grown up.
"I don't know, but I want to know if she is my daughter. If she is than I want to be able to get to know her. I mean she is my daughter." Luke said
"Yours and Rachel's," Loralie said somewhat regretfully.
"That's the only thing that I wish wasn't true." Luke said, looking at Loralie.
