A/N: I inspired myself so here is a new chapter! Thanks to all that reviewed! Especially to my anonymous reviewer, I type so fast, I forget to fix my errors, thank you for telling me about my "your/you're" problem. Boy would my English teacher be mad at me for that one! Now, enjoy the chapter!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
Luke and Lorelai were sitting on Lorelai's bed in the inn. They were kissing each other with deep passion that they didn't bother to listen to the yells that were going on outside the room. Luke's hands were running up and down Lorelai's back as Lorelai had one hand running through his hair and one hand on his cheek.
Suddenly Rory burst into the room wearing a cheap brown dress with white flower patterns on it. Her stomach was bulging out in front of her, and she was waddling as quickly as possible.
"Mom!" Lorelai and Luke broke apart to look at Rory. "It's time!" When she finished saying that, her stomach burst open and eight babies with Dean's head can running out of her quickly deflating stomach.
---------------------------------------
Lorelai sat up in her bed with a cold sweat. She looked over at the clock and noticed that it was only three in the morning. She sighed and swung her legs over the bed. She put her head in her hands and replayed the details of her dream in her head. She was completely confused and she wanted her dream analyzed, unfortunately, her doctor was out.
She stood up and noticed that she was still dressed. "Jesus Christ," she murmured as she walked to the door to get some fresh air.
She let her feet talk her to wherever they would take her. When Lorelai felt herself stop, she noticed that she had stopped in front of Luke's room. How ironic, she thought. She lightly knocked on the door and few seconds later had closed her eyes from the bright light pouring from Luke's open door.
"Lorelai? What's wrong?" Luke asked when he opened the door.
"Uh, I need to talk..." she said while shifting her weight on each of her feet. He moved to the side to let her in, but confusion was written all over his face.
"What happened?" he asked once he had closed the door.
She sat down on his unmade bed and slightly pouted. He sat down next to her and put his arm around her shoulder. The next second she had burst into tears and leaned into his chest. She grabbed his shirt and held on to it as she let go of all of her stress.
After a few minutes, the tears had slowed she had calmed herself enough to pull away from Luke. As Lorelai wiped her eyes, she looked at him with a frown. "I'm sorry, but this hasn't been the best night of my life." She saw him tense up and slowly back away from her. "No! Not that, but that did add to my stress a little." She mentally kicked herself. "That didn't come out right." She sighed. "Okay, I'm going to start over again.
"Today has been hectic. The test run for the inn, I mean, we still have too many staff members, and hello, we're opening in a week so we need to have everything perfect. So, on to my parents. They're separated and they're taking it out on me when all I want to do is get them back together. That's why I put them out in the Honeymoon Suite. Is that not romantic, or what? Well, they didn't appreciate it and they left.
"All right, so on to Jason. God, why won't he leave me alone? Do men not understand the meaning of the word 'no?'" Lorelai stopped to take a deep breath. Luke looked at her as if to tell her to go on. "Ok, well, I told him it was over because he sued my father. What kind of boyfriend sues his girlfriend's father? Ok, he's a Crazy-Stalker Man. I should have noticed. God, his dog was like a statue. What kind of guy has a dog that doesn't know normal tricks? And what about this insomnia crap? God, his guest room is like the most fun room ever! But he doesn't sleep in it because if he does, well, he'll never sleep.
"What was with that proposal, huh? Does he enjoy causing me stress? I think he does, considering that he won't leave me alone!" Lorelai paused to take another breath and noticed that Luke was looking slightly uncomfortable. "Ok, enough about my crazy ex-boyfriend. How about that kiss? Totally took me by surprise, but, you did notice me kiss you back, right? You know, I don't know why, but that didn't feel awkward. Which is awkward, you know?" She looked at Luke's blank expression. "Well, I mean we're good friends, with everyone in town telling me that you're in love with me and I'm in love with you." She sighed. "These people really need to get day jobs. Anyway, we're friends, but then you invite me to your sister's wedding.
"God, Liz looked beautiful, and happy, huh?" She noticed Luke's impatient expression. "Right, well, that dance, super fun. You're a good dancer, by the way, totally didn't know that about you. But, well, you took me home, you asked me out...oh my God! That's tomorrow, I mean tonight, isn't it? Wow, those days went by really fast! Um, anyway, had fun at the wedding. So, on the porch. Wow."
"You really think it was wow?" Luke suddenly asked.
"Whoa. Ok, and I thought you were impersonating Marcel Marceau. But, um, yeah, those kisses could have been put on the 'Wow Factor.'" She nervously smiled at him. "Ok, so, well, I wasn't expecting that kiss from you, and I sure as hell wasn't expecting to kiss you back. It just kind of happened." He nodded. "So why'd you do it?"
He looked at her, and then quickly away. Lorelai noticed a slight pink tinge appear on his cheeks as he shyly cleared his voice. "Uh, um...well, I...uh, I wanted to...well...I wanted you to know that I...uh...had, um...feelings for you."
Lorelai raised her eyebrows slightly when he said that. "Wow...Luke, I-"
"So why did that bother you?" Luke interrupted her.
"Oh, right, well, I don't want to hurt you Luke."
"I don't want to hurt you, either."
"I know. It's just that, well I told Rory that I thought we were dating, and she kind of got upset and told me that I have to be in it for the long run because once we cross that line we can't go back to how it used to be. That got me thinking that I don't want to ruin our friendship, Luke. I mean, we've been friends since Rory was a little girl, well not exactly, what with my teasing you. But, I just don't want to not be able to look you in the eye if this doesn't work out."
Luke sighed. "I know, Lorelai, but I'm not going anywhere, you know that, right?"
She smiled at him. "I know, but how do we know that if this is going really good, but then we get into this huge fight that breaks us up." She sighed. "Luke, you are one of my best friends. One of the stable things in my life. I don't want to lose you." She looked down at her hands.
Luke put his hand on her chin and made her face him. "You won't. Haven't you ever heard that the best relationships start as friends? That means that this could work, Lorelai. Aren't you at least willing to try?"
She sighed. "I don't know. I mean, I am curious to see where this could lead, but I'm also scared that I could lose one of the only people who have known me more than ten years. Luke, you've seen Rory grow up. Hell, you've seen me grow up. I just don't know if I could lose the one person I turn to."
"Lorelai..."
"I'm not saying that I won't do anything at all, I mean, jeez, Luke, we've already gotten pretty far, I'm just not sure that I want to cross that li-" Luke cut her off with a soft kiss on the lips. When he pulled back, Lorelai was staring at him. "That's what I mean, the kissing! I... hey may-"Luke stopped her again with another kiss, this time with a little more feeling into it. Instead of sitting there, Lorelai gave in and returned the kiss. She put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Luke put his arms around her waist and held her close to him. Lorelai finally pulled back and looked into his eyes. "So what movie did you wanna see?" she asked with a small smile.
He returned the smile and pulled her a little closer. "I don't care, you can choose."
Lorelai smiled wickedly at him and released her hold on him. "Oh you are so going to suffer for that."
He rolled his eyes and let go of her waist. "So, was that all you wanted to vent about?"
Her smile quickly faded as she looked down. "No, that wasn't it."
"Lorelai, what's the matter? This has to be bigger than the other things."
"It's Rory..."
"What about Rory, is she ok? What happened to-"
"She's fine. Well, for the most part." She sighed and looked at him. "I'm sorry, but I just can't tell you, Luke." She lifted up her hand and ran her fingers through his hair. "I'll tell you later, though, if she wants me to. But right now, I have to respect her privacy."
He nodded. "Sure." Lorelai yawned widely. Luke looked at the clock. "Jeez, Lorelai, it's late, you should get some sleep."
"Yeah. Thanks for listening." She stood up. "It really meant a lot to me, especially since I can't talk to Rory."
He stood up and put his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, if you need me, I'm just down the hall, ok?"
She lifted her head and smiled at him. "Ok, thanks so much." She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him. "You're cuddly."
He put his arms around her and said, "You're never going to say that again."
She pulled away and smiled. "Ah, you're nothing but a big teddy bear! I'm not afraid of those! You know why? Because they're cute!"
Luke smirked. "Are you saying I'm cute?"
Her smile quickly faded. "No, I was just...uh, well, you know...I..." Luke tried to hide his laughter. "Shut up, you." She then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Goodnight, Teddy."
"You're not calling me that," he said as he walked her to the door.
She grinned. "Oh yes I am!"
He gently pushed her out of his room. "Goodnight, Crazy Lady."
Lorelai silently laughed as she turned around to face him. "Goodnight, Luke." She turned and walked to her room. When she got to her door, she turned to face his room and saw him watching her. She smiled and waved to him as she walked into her room. They both shut their doors at the same time.

A/N: So that was full of fluff! Next time will be the morning where everyone checks out, Lorelai coming home, and maybe her getting ready for the date. But I'll figure it out when I get there! Review please and tell me what you think! Constructive Criticism is always welcomed! I want to make this story more enjoyable for the readers, so let me know how I can fix the problems. Au revoir for now!
