And a big thanks to Maddy for making me want to finish this!

Chapter 4: This Just Screams Trouble

"Ohhh God…" Lorelai sighed as she flopped back onto her pillow, covered in a thin sheen of sweat. "Where the hell did you learn how to do that?"

"Well…" Luke started as he rolled off of her onto his back.

"Wait! Scratch that, I don't want to know. Unless you like practiced on a dream version of me, and then that would be okay. Well maybe it would be a little creepy, but okay creepy. Like better than learning with an old girlfriend or something like that you know?"

Luke just stared at her, a satisfied grin on his face. He was just about to speak when an odd look flashed across his features.

"Is everything okay?" she asked quickly.

He pointed behind her head, "The window."

She flipped over quickly, noticing for the first time that her bedroom window was wide open, and she had no idea how long it'd been like that. Her mouth formed a little "oh" and she covered her eyes, blushing slightly. "Well we weren't really that loud right? I don't think we could have carried all the way to Babette's house…"

"Lorelai, are you serious? You are SO loud, especially this morning!"

She swatted him on the arm lightly, "I am not!"

"You screamed my name so loud just before that my ear is still ringing."

"Well you weren't complaining about it five minutes ago mister."

"And I'm not complaining about it now, I'm just saying that it is entirely possible that Babette heard our little..uh…"

"Love romp?" Lorelai filled in the blank.

Luke chuckled, "You could call it that."

"Well what would you call it?" Luke leaned in, whispering something much dirtier in her ear. "Well that works too!" she smiled and leaned in for a kiss. Luke slipped his hand around her back, sliding her closer to him on the mattress as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Just as he was about to pull her on top of him they heard a loud banging noise coming from somewhere downstairs.

"What the hell is that?" he asked angrily, pissed that they were interrupted.

"You don't think it's…Babette do you?"

Luke released his hold on her and hopped out of the bed, making his way to the window. He stood on his tip toes trying to see the front door, and he was still completely naked. Lorelai just sat with a satisfied smirk on her face admiring the view. He turned around quickly and caught her checking out his ass. "Like what you see?" he said smugly, loving the look she was giving him.

"Can't complain…" she said before he stooped down and captured her lips in his, tipping her head back a little with his hand. They were interrupted again by the loud banging. Lorelai sighed, "I better go see who that is, if I don't answer and it is Babette she'll probably break in thinking I've been murdered or something." Luke stepped out of her way as she grabbed her robe from a nearby hanger, tying it tightly. "Be right back," she said grabbing his ass real quick as she skipped out her bedroom door, not having to look behind her to know the look Luke had on his face.

As she made her way down the stairs she couldn't help but smile at the fortunate turn her and Luke's relationship had taken since the night of Babette's party. She had absolutely no clue how she had lived without him all those years because now she just couldn't get enough. Her daydreamy thoughts were put on hold while she yanked her front door open, putting on a fake smile as she saw that it really was Babette outside her door.

"Hey honey! I was just coming over to check on you because, well me and Morey heard some screaming and we know you live here all alone since Rory went off to Yale and we don't want you getting hurt or anything over here!"

"Oh no Babette, I'm fine! I just, uh…saw a spider. They freak me out a little ya know, with all their eight hairy legs. Ick, I just hate them." Lorelai nodded her head, trying to look truthful and innocent.

"A spider huh?" Babette's voice dropped down to a whisper, "Did you happen to name that spider after Luke?"

Lorelai was at a loss for words, her witty comebacks completely fled from her brain as she stood in her front hall, clutching her robe as close to her body as she could get it, trying to pretend that she wasn't having this conversation with Babette.

"If I said yes would you believe me?" Lorelai choked out weakly.

Babette winked at her, "Nah, but I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Luke's not wearing you out is he?"

"Babette!"

"Okay, okay. I get it. You just might want to close your window next time because I can't be held responsible for anyone coming out to see if the story about you and Luke is true."

"The story?" Lorelai said incredulously.

"Yeah, about how he makes you scream so loud."

Babette had said it so nonchalantly that it almost made Lorelai laugh, almost. "Why would people think that Babette?" she asked, shuffling her feet and looking at the floor.

"Well, you know how things are in this town. Nothin's a secret for long!" Babette was pointing her fingers all up in Lorelai's face, and in the direction of her bedroom.

"Okay, well thanks for stopping by," Lorelai said through gritted teeth. This was SO not supposed to be happening. She and Luke had agreed to keep the public displays to a minimum so that they wouldn't constantly be the talk of the town. Looks like once again things didn't go as she planned them.

"Aww don't be mad honey!"

"I'm not, bye Babette." Lorelai swung the door closed and sighed to herself. Now she had to tell Luke the delightful news, they were the new talk of the town. Yippee.

"Was that Babette I heard down there?" he asked her as she walked back into the bedroom heading straight for the open window. She grabbed it fiercely and slammed it shut, turning the lock tightly.

"Oh yeah it was." Lorelai told him what Babette had said; he took it better than she thought.

"Well, there's really nothing we can do about it now I guess."

"Well…I think we should put an alarm or something on this damn window." She hit the glass pane with her hand for emphasis.

"What kind of an alarm?" Luke asked, standing up and walking toward her.

"I don't know…a…loud sex alarm?" she finished lamely. Luke just raised his eyebrows. "Okay well what do you think we should do then?"

"Just look and make sure the window isn't wide open next time."

"If it was that easy don't you think we would have thought to do that before this whole thing got started?"

"Well now we know, so we'll remember." Luke made his way around the room, picking up his discarded clothes from all corners of the room. "The town always has something to say anyway, just don't make it a big deal and they'll forget about it."

Lorelai shook her head, utterly surprised at how good Luke was taking this. He was always such a personal guy, and now his love life was going to be the talk of the town and he wasn't batting an eyelash. "Luke, why are you not caring about this?"

He looked away from her again, concentrating way too much on finding his shirt. "Lorelai, it's not a big deal, really."

Then it clicked. It's not a big deal for him because he's been waiting for this, waiting for her, and now the whole town knows that he can "please" her so well that she screams. This was completely a male ego boost. Lorelai smiled for a second, and then tried to decide what to do. She wasn't angry, after all, the town gossip mill was something that she'd gotten used to…and Luke's pride at being with her was actually kind of cute. She decided to let it go, for now. "Okay, yeah I guess you're right. It'll die down eventually."

He looked up at her finally, a look of slight relief on his face that she was dropping it. "Okay I've got to run to the diner, Cesar has to leave at 10 and I still need to shower and stuff."

"Okay," Lorelai leaned in and pecked him on the lips. "But be careful on your way, the women of Stars Hollow are probably waiting at strategic spots around town to try and see for themselves exactly why you make me scream." Luke's face turned red as Lorelai giggled softly.

"See you in a little bit?" he asked, completely ignoring her comment.

"As always." He left through her bedroom door and she flopped back down on the bed hoping that the town didn't go too crazy with the whole screaming business.

Later that morning

Lorelai walked into the diner quickly, trying to just get out of the street. No less than five people had approached her on her short walk to the diner. Some of them had come right out and asked if the rumors were true, others just used the word 'scream' much more than necessary. She plopped herself down at the counter, laying her head in her folded hands. A second later she felt Luke's fingertips brush against her forearm so she peeked an eye above her arms.

"You okay?"

"I'm hiding."

"Well you're doing a great job of it sitting in the middle of the diner at the beginning of the lunch rush."

"Well I'm hiding my eyes. If I can't see anyone than no one can give me that look."

"You've been getting a look?"

"Oh come on like you haven't?"

"Well I've been getting some really good tips…"

Lorelai slapped his hand lightly, "Oh hush you."

He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "How about some coffee? That'll make you feel better."

She lifted her head slightly and pouted, "Put a little nutmeg in it for me?"

"Absolutely."

Lorelai's head popped back up and she sat up eagerly waiting for a tall cup of steamy goodness. "Oh actually can you make that to go? I have to run to the Inn for a little bit to talk some things over with Sookie."

Luke poured the dark liquid into a to-go cup and slid it to her slowly. "Are you going to be home in time for the town meeting tonight?"

"Yeah I should be. Want to meet me there?"

"Sure."

Lorelai leaned over the counter for a quick kiss, then backed her way out the door, sighing to herself as she noticed several people in the diner sniggering at their affection. "Oh jeeze," she said under her breath. "Bye Luke."

He waved, and she was off to the Inn.

Town Meeting

6:00pm

Lorelai slipped in the back door just as Taylor was starting the meeting. She got a dirty look (what was new?) as she plopped down in the chair that Luke had saved her. He smiled at her and nodded his head, then they both turned their attention back to Taylor. He cleared his throat, "Fellow townsmen," Lorelai opened her mouth to speak and Taylor rolled his eyes and cut her off. "And fellow townswomen." Lorelai nodded in satisfaction, then sit back to let Taylor speak. "A very serious issue has been recently brought to my attention. The town of Stars Hollow is severely lacking two very important restrictions that I feel must be dealt with immediately. The very moral fiber of our young citizens hangs in the balance…"

"Oh for Christ sakes Taylor just get on with it," Gypsy yelled from somewhere in the front of the room."

"I was getting to my point Gypsy! So, I am proposing that two new ordinances be enforced: one that regulates lewd behavior," Taylor paused for emphasis, shooting Lorelai a harsh glare, "and the other that regulates extremely loud noises…"
