Lorelai hung out with Rory all day and they talked about her date with Baily and what she was going to wear and things like that. Around four Rory decided that it was time she went back to Yale. They said their goodbyes and Lorelai headed over to Luke's. When she got to Luke's she took Laci out of her seat and carried her to the counter and sat down.
"Coffee! I want coffee!" She didn't see Luke coming so she started talking to Laci. "Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee! Your mommy needs COFFEE!" Luke appeared in front of Lorelai so she turned her attention to him, but Laci once again grabbed her mother's attention. When Lorelai had gone on and on about how she needed coffee, Laci had laughed. "Oh my God! She laughed!"
"Very good Lorelai. You're just so smart."
"Why aren't you happy? You're supposed to be happy! I just made our baby daughter laugh for the first time, and…"
"What? That wasn't the first time she's laughed. She's been laughing all day."
"She has? Why didn't you call me?"
"I just figured that if she laughed once then she'll laugh again! It's no big deal."
"But…I missed my baby's first laugh! I'm a terrible mother."
"No you're not."
"Yes I am. She better say her first word with me and not you."
"You're the second person who saw her laugh ever so doesn't that mean something?"
"Yeah. Can I have some coffee now…please?"
"Sure."
"Coffee, coffee, coffee! Your mommy needs COFFEE!" At this Laci started laughing again which made her mommy and daddy smile.
The rest of the week went by very fast for Lorelai and Luke; however it went by very slow for Rory. She couldn't wait for her date with Baily. The day before her big date was a Friday and instead of everyone going to Friday night dinner Lorelai and Rory went alone. They figured that if they went without Laci then they would be out of there earlier then normal because there would be nobody for Emily to fuss over. When they left Friday night dinner the girls went shopping and picked out the perfect outfit for Rory to wear on her date. When they got home Rory showed Luke the outfit that she bought and then they all went to sleep.
The next day had come and it was finally six o'clock. Rory answered the door and started to leave when Baily stopped her. He told her that before they left he had to see Laci. With that Rory knew that Baily was a keeper. Once he had held Laci and had talked to Luke and Lorelai they left.
The car ride was silent with neither of them speaking. Once they had gotten to the restaurant and they were sitting at their table Rory decided that it was time to say something.
"So what did you major in?"
"Um…math." Baily said almost questioning his answer.
"What kind of math?"
"Ah…I'm ah…um…I'm in accounting."
"That's cool. So when are you going to start with accounting?"
"I'm not."
"Why?"
"Because."
"So what are you into?"
"We've covered this, but I guess I'll be more open this time. I don't really know what I'm into. Before everything happened I used to go out with my friends and stuff but that was like ten years ago. Since then I've mostly been working."
"Oh. So um…what happened?"
"Nothing, don't worry about it. Let's order now."
"Okay."
They ordered their food and each one of them went to the bathroom at different times. By the time both of them were in their seats the food had come. They started eating and Rory once again broke the awkward silence.
"So tell me about your family."
"Not now!"
"Okay. I'm sorry."
They continued to eat their dinner without talking. Baily looked up every once and awhile at Rory and he could see through her eyes that she was scared. It was only their first date and he had scared her. He looked at her once again and this time he could tell that not only was she afraid, but she was also worried. He gave in and started to explain things to her.
"Okay, I'm ready to tell you."
"If you don't want to you don't have to!"
"I know, but I do want to. It all started when I was thirteen years old and my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Our family battled the cancer with her, but in the end nothing had worked. She must have seen five or six doctors and she was given chemo and a few other treatments, but it kept coming back."
"I'm so sorry." Rory had moved her hand so that it was on top of his.
"Then when I was fifth-teen, she was sent to the hospital where she died." Rory had let her emotions take control and before she knew it she was crying.
"The next few years were hard for my father and I. We had to live without my mother who had always taken care of us. Then when I was about eighteen my father died. He was a police officer and he got shot one evening."
"Oh Baily, I'm so sorry for trying to force it out of you."
"It's really okay. I needed to tell you eventually."
"So is it safe to assume that you really didn't go to school?"
"No. I didn't go to school, and I'm not an accountant. No offense but I'm kind of happy I'm not an accountant. It seems pretty boring to me."
"It's okay."
"So we'll do this again?"
"Yeah that would be fun. Here, let me pay."
"No. I have it. Just because I don't go to Yale doesn't mean I don't have money."
"Oh…but you just told me that you didn't have money."
"I don't have enough money for college, but I do have enough money for life."
"Okay. I'm sorry. So where do you live?"
"In Luke's, well I guess you'd say Laci's apartment above the diner."
"That's awesome! How about we go back there? We can get to know each other a little bit better."
"I'm gonna pass. Rory, I don't really think that this is going to work out."
"What? Why?"
"I'm not like you."
"What? You're more like me thank you think. I'm not ri…"
"Rory! Listen to me! It's not just the money. I don't do the things you do."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm…well you just asked if we could go to Luke's apartment to 'get to know each other better'."
"What? I meant that I want to get you better."
"Well from where I'm from what you said means sex. I don't do sex."
"I'm totally lost."
"I'm…ah…I'm still a virgin. I haven't dated much. Well, you're actually my first girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?"
"Yeah. Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you didn't say anything wrong at all. I would love to be your girlfriend."
"Great."
"So can we go back to Luke's now and talk?"
"Sure. That sounds good. We can even get to know each other better if you want, but only if its how said it."
"Okay. Hey?"
"Yeah?"
"Let's make a deal."
"Okay?"
"No sex until we are fully committed and we both want it. I just came out of a really bad sex relationship, so no sex for now?"
"Oh you don't have to worry about me."
They went back to what was now technically Baily's apartment and they talked all night about everything imaginable. They were getting along really well together, until Rory put in one of her mothers movies that was there. Then they started getting along very very very well. He proofed himself to be a true Gilmore at heart.
A/N: We are going to let you guys decide how Emily and Richard will find out that Lorelai and Luke are married. Choice #1When Lorelai gets pregnant with the second baby then they will have to bump the wedding up a few months and Emily will get suspicious. Choice #2Emily will notice the wedding ring on Lorelai's finger. Choice #3Somebody will tell Emily that Lorelai had told in confidence thinking that they wouldn't tell Emily. So review and pick 1, 2, or 3. We wanted to say thank you once again to ProFfeSseR (Sorry we spelt your username wrong last time). Thanks for the compliment on our writing.
