The next chapter will be the last
Christmas Day 2007
"Oh-oh, I think someone needs a new diaper." – Lorelai said when she noticed the calm and serious expression on Lilly's face. – "I'm going to change her diaper." – She craddled Lilly in her arms and walked upstairs. Luke and Rory stayed on the couch. They laughed when a picture of Lorelai appeared. It was during the first months of pregnancy. Lorelai was desperately trying to put her favorite jeans on. She bet with Rory that she still could wear the jeans. Rory had taken the picture while she laughed at her mothers attempt. Lorelai lost the bet but she didn't mourn for long. Not when Rory suggested to go shopping with her .
The next picture caught Luke's attention. It was a picture of him, Lorelai, Sookie, Jackson and their two kids. It was the Christmas procession 2005. Luke remembered how he was "persuaded" to go there.
December 2005Lorelai was inside the house and waiting for Luke to come home. When she heard his truck she ran first to the window to see if it really was him and then she walked over to the door and opened it before he even had a chance to open it himself.
"Hi" – She greeted him.
"Hi" – He said back and gave her a kiss. – "What's the outfit for?" – Luke asked her pointing to the bathrobe and high hills she had on. – "Are you trying to start a new trend?"
"Maybe." – She smiled at him mischievously. – "Do you want something to drink?" – Luke nodded and Lorelai went to the kitchen to get two beers. Luke watched her walk away admiring the way she moved. He sat on the couch and switched the TV on. Lorelai came back with two bottles and handed one to him.
He thanked her and she sat down on the table in front of him. He looked at her noticing the way her hair was and that she had make-up on. She looked beautiful. Luke wondered if they were supposed to go out, if he had forgotten some anniversary.
"Hey, Luke."
"Yeah?"
"You know the procession is soon. Jackson has already freaked out and Sookie is busy with calming him down which is funny because she's also freaking out because of the food she promised to make for this festival. We will set up the food at Miss Patty's and it's going to be a great evening. I know you never go there but could you please consider going this time?" – Luke wanted to answer her but she didn't let him. – "I know, stupid town, stupid tradition. But I really want you there. Rory and Logan are coming too. Their relationship is at a bad point right now and she hopes to change it while they stay here. Anyway. Please Luke, please, please, please." – Lorelai pouted at her husband.
"Okay."
"If you go than I'll…what did you just say?"
"I said I'll go with you. I don't like it and it doesn't mean that from now on I'll go to any other of those crazy town functions." – Luke said and felt a bit confused because of the expression upon her face. – "I said I'll go. Why are you still pouting?"
"Because,…because I thought you'd say 'no'. Because I had a plan.
I spent the whole afternoon looking for the right lingerie. I did my hair, put make-up on and slipped my sexiest hills on. I wanted to seduce you with my charms and this little nothing of lace that I wear underneath my robe." – Lorelai babbled out and continued to pout. Luke looked at his wife for a few seconds. Without a warning he stood up and walked outside without saying a word. Lorelai was surprised and confused at his behaviour. Before she could wonder further what he was doing she heard a knock on the door.
She stood up and opened the door. Outside she found Luke and before she could ask him what he was up to he stepped inside the house.
He kissed her quickly.
"Hi. What's the outfit for? Are you trying to start a new trend?" – He asked and it dawned on Lorelai what he was doing. He was starting their evening over. He was giving her a chance to fulfill her seduction plan. That gesture made her love him even more and she didn't believe it was possible.
"Maybe I am." – She answered his question. – "Do you want something to drink?"
"Yes, please."
"Ah, look. There's already beer on the table." – Lorelai acted surprised
"How convenient." – Luke sat down.
"Luke would you go with me to the procession?"
"No."
"Aww, come on Luke. Please." – She sat down next to him and put her hand on his thigh. – "Please Luke. It'll be fun. I promise."
"No. You know I hate those town celebrations. I will not go." – Luke played along.
"Fine." – Lorelai said and stood up. She stopped in front of him. – "If that's you last word. Oh,…"
"What is it?"
"Could you please turn the heating down? It's really warm inside." – Lorelai told him and unknotted her robe. The robe was hanging loosely on her shoulders and Luke saw that the 'nothing of lace' suited her very well.
"Are you sure there is no way to change your mind?" – Lorelai asked innocently. Luke was only able to choke out a 'no'.
"Well, that's such a bummer." – She said and sat down on his lap. Luke's hands immediately reached out for her. He pushed the robe off her shoulders and kissed his way up to her earlobe. He whispered 'maybe' into her ear. Lorelai took his face in her hands and captured his lips in a passionate kiss. When the kiss ended he rested his forehead against hers.
"Sorry, my mind is fogged right now. What was your question? You wanted a kidney? One million dollar?
Doesn't matter. Whatever it is, you got it." – That made Lorelai laugh.
"Boy, you're really not easy to convince. Actually what I wanted was a supply of coffee for the rest of my life."
"Then…no."
"Are you sure?" – She asked him and reached beside him. She retrieved a can of whipped cream from behind the cushions. Luke gulped down hard.
"Wow…ahm…yeah, I'm sure. But I'd love to see how you try to convnice me otherwise." – Lorelai smirked at him and their lips met in a passionate kiss.
