"Lorelai, its Laci. I had to go to a meeting so instead of bringing her with me I dropped her and the maid off at the park, but twenty minutes later my cell phone rang and it was her. She started talking…"

"Mom just get to the point! What happened to Laci!"

"She's missing Lorelai. I'm sorry. I really am sorry."

"God mom! We'll talk this through later but I have to go now. We're getting on the next plane!"

Lorelai hung up the phone and started packing her and Luke's bags. She went into the bathroom and started balling her eyes out. She didn't know what to do or what was going to happen to her baby. Luke woke up to the sound of her crying and ran into the bathroom.

"Lorelai, what's wrong!"

"Laci was kidnapped Luke and we're going home as soon as I pack our bags but I can't even do that without crying. Everything we brought reminds me of her. What happens if they don't give her back? What if they kill her and put her body in one of those little garbage bags?"

"I'm sure she's fine Lorelai. Whoever took her will give her back, I promise you." Luke wasn't sure himself about what was going to happen. He had started to distract himself by finishing the packing, but Lorelai was right everything they packed reminded him of Laci. He was holding the shirt that he had on the night Laci was born. He put that into the suitcase and picked up one of Rory's t-shirts that Lorelai had borrowed. He remembered when Rory wore it. She was standing in the kitchen the day Laci came home from the hospital. She was holding Laci and smiling from ear to ear. Then he picked up his cell phone. Sometimes when Laci's at diner with him she gets restless and Luke lets her play with it but it always ends up in her mouth. He looked up from what he was doing and hugged Lorelai. He was crying too now. He picked up the suitcase, grabbed Lorelai's hand, and walked to the front desk to check out.

"Did you enjoy your stay Mr. and Mrs. Danes?" The man behind the counter asked.

"Oh us? We're not married. Engaged but not married!"

"You don't remember do you Mrs. Danes?"

"I'm sorry I'm really out of it right now can you just give us our change so we can go. Wait, what don't I remember?"

"Your wedding to Mr. Danes. Your wedding picture came in, here you go. Have a nice day!"

"We're married?" Luke asked Lorelai confused.

"Apparently but can we please not talk about it right now. I just want to get home and find my baby."

"Okay."

They got on the next available airplane and were home in four hours. It seemed like they were on the plane forever. Neither of them could think about anything but Laci and about all the 'what ifs'. Lorelai kept her head on Luke's shoulder the whole flight and she continued crying. She had stopped a few times but she always managed to start back up again. When they got off the plane they grabbed their luggage and ran to the car. Once they were in the car Lorelai called her mother to find out where they should go and they ended up meeting her at the park along with the police. When they got there they ran over to Emily who was holding Laci.

"Oh my god! When did you find her? Where was she? Is she okay? Somebody answer me!" Lorelai had grabbed the infant from her mother's arms and was hugging her tight.

"The cops found her right after you called. She was in her stroller still but she was over by the lake. Officer Bradshaw told me to tell you when you got here that he needs to ask both of you a few questions."

"I'll go first. You can stay here and talk to you mother." Luke volunteered.

"Thank you babe."

Luke walked over to the officer and introduced himself. They sat down on a nearby bench and started talking.

"So you are the baby's father?"

"Yes I am."

"Okay first of all did anybody fill you in on what happened today?"

"Yeah my mother-in-law did."

"Emily said you two weren't married."

"Well we weren't but we kind of got drunk in Vegas and we ended up married. Don't say anything about us being married though because, well just don't."

"Okay then. Do you have any enemies?"

"No not that I know of."

"Anyone who would want to get back at you for something you did to them?"

"No."

"Ex-girlfriends, mad friends, annoying relatives?"

"No. Wait I do have one ex-girlfriend that came back to town about a month ago to work things out and she got a little mad when I told her that I was with Lorelai, but I don't think she would do this. There is also Nicole but I haven't spoken to her in years so."

"Did this lady see Laci?"

"Yes she did."

"Okay. What is her name?"

"Rachael."

"Rachael what?"

"Rachael (I don't know her last name. LOL)"

"Okay. We're going to bring the stroller down to the lab to look for fingerprints and we'll get back to you. Why don't you go take the baby from your wife and we'll ask her the same questions and then you can go home."

"Okay."

While Luke was talking to Officer Bradshaw, Lorelai and Emily were having a little chat of their own.

"I can't believe you did this mom!"

"I didn't do anything. The maid did it, not me. Get it straight Lorelai."

"You had no right to leave my baby with your maid! I left her with you in confidence that you would take good care of her, but you didn't even watch her. Your stupid maid watched her for you! God mom! You're not watching her ever again. EVER AGAIN!"

"Lorelai I had a meeting to go to. What did you want me to do with the baby? I couldn't bring her with me!"

"She's four months old mom! All the kid does is sit her car seat and suck her pacifier. I doubt they would care if you brought her!"

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay but you are not babysitting her on Fridays anymore. I'll still come to diner but you are not watching her. I am never leaving you alone with her ever again."

"Hey Lorelai. Here let me take Laci for you so you can go talk to Officer Bradshaw. Okay?" Luke had come back and was giving Emily the evil eye look.

"No. I think I'll take her with me."

"Okay. I'll meet you in the car."

Lorelai walked over to the police officer and sat down in the same spot that Luke had been sitting in.

"Okay so your husband gave me the name of one person who might have done this, but I still have to ask you the questions too. Do you have any enemies?"

"No."

"Is there anyone who would want to get back at you for something you did to them?"

"No.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay any ex-boyfriends, friends, or family members?"

"No. I had Max but I haven't seen him in like five years and then there was Jason but I haven't seen him in a while either. My daughter did break up with her boyfriend last month but really don't think he would take Laci."

"Okay. Would you mind giving us his name anyway?"

"Sure…it's ah Logan Huntzberger."

"Thank you for your time. We'll get back to you as soon as we find out."

"Okay."

Lorelai said goodbye to the officer and walked past Emily without saying a word to her and got in the car. She strapped Laci in her car seat and sat down next to her in the back seat. Lorelai didn't take her eyes off the baby the whole ride home and she didn't speak a word. When they got home she took Laci out of the car without talking to Luke and she went inside. She went into the living room and sat down still holding Laci. Luke came in a few minutes later with their bags and joined her on the sofa.

"I'm happy she's okay." Luke said trying to get Lorelai to talk.

"Yeah me too."

"Can I hold her? I still haven't gotten to yet."

"No. I'm going to go put her down for a nap."

Lorelai got up and went upstairs. She went into her room and started rocking Laci in the rocking chair and Laci fell asleep right away. Luke had followed her up and was watching her from the hallway. He noticed that even after Laci had fallen asleep Lorelai still hadn't put her in the bassinet. He stayed in the hallway for five minutes and then went into their bedroom.

"She's asleep you know."

"I know."

"You can put her down now. I don't think she'll wake up if you do."

"She just fell asleep Luke. I'm not putting her down yet, okay?"

"Okay. So about last night?"

"Not now Luke."

"Okay then. I'm going to check up on things at the diner. I'll see you soon."

Luke left without Lorelai even saying goodbye to him. He went to work and stayed there as long as he could knowing that he wasn't needed or wanted at home. He finally went home around seven which was about three hours after he left. When he got home Lorelai was downstairs but she was still holding Laci. She refused to look up at him when he came home and she didn't speak until he spoke to her first.

"Hey."

"Oh hi."

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing really."

"Oh. Do you mind if I hold Laci now?"

"Well I was just going to feed her. Sorry."

"Ok. I'm going to go to sleep then and I'll see you in the morning when you drop Laci off at the diner."

"Oh about that. She's not going to work with you anymore. Goodnight."

"What? Okay you can't keep her from me. I did nothing wrong Lorelai!"

"I know, it's just that…never mind I'll see you in the morning. Nighty night!"

"Lorelai?"

"Sleep tight Luke."

Luke went up to bed hoping that this was just a one time thing because of what had happened that day with Laci. When he woke up he found Lorelai still awake on the sofa downstairs. It was obvious that she hadn't slept at all and that Laci had remained her in arms all night. She stayed that way the whole day. When Luke left for work Lorelai was holding Laci and when he came home she was still holding her. Once again she stayed up all night holding the baby and she still wouldn't let Luke near her. Luke woke up and once again tried to change Lorelai's mood.

"You're up already?" Luke said playing stupid.

"Yeah. What time is it?" Lorelai still refused to look away from the baby.

"Okay I know that you're upset about what happened and so am I but you have to let me see my daughter. You cannot do this to yourself. You've been up for more almost thirty-six hours, maybe more, and you haven't put her down since we've gotten home. Let me hold her so you can get some sleep."

"No."

"Fine. That's fine with me. I…I have to go Lorelai. I can't do this anymore. I'll see you whenever I see. Call me when you lighten up. Bye Laci. Daddy loves you. Bye Lorelai." He kissed the top of Laci's head and left.
