"That movie was unbelievable" Rory said shaking her head

"I know, just when you think you've seen all the jelly wrestling midget films BAM, there's another" Lorelai laughed as the two girls walked through town "Have you got room for pie?"

"Always"

"I'm thinking we go and harass Luke for food and coffee"

"It's late and you know what he's like when we try for pie & coffee at normal hours"

"Yeah I know but it's fun and Luke's been in such a good mood the last few days. I don't know what's got in to him, maybe he decided to try a donut and his whole world's been turn upside down for the better and he's a sugar junkie like us" Lorelai said excitedly

"Or maybe he's won the lottery and he's going to surprise us with millions of dollars" Rory added

"Or maybe he's got a nice blonde on the side and he's happy cause he's getting away with it"

"Mom!"

"I know.. it'd be a red head" Lorelai laughed at her daughter's shocked look "Hun it's okay to make jokes about it. i mean I wouldn't to Luke too often but when you are in love and completely utterly trust your partner you feel secure enough to laugh about it"

Lorelai and Rory walked into the diner to see Caesar wiping down the tables.

"Hey Caesar you're working late?"

"Yeah boss asked me to stay while got a few things done"

"We want pie please oh and coffee"

As Caesar walked into the kitchen to organize the dessert for the girls. Rory and Lorelai sat at a table. "I'm going to go upstairs real quick and see if Luke's there" Lorelai said standing up

"Okay hurray back because if I finish my piece of pie and you're not here to protect yours I won't be held responsible for what happens to it"

Lorelai made her way up the stairs to the apartment. As she was nearing the landing she heard Luke laugh and she smiled, but her smiled quickly faded when she heard another laugh from a female. Lorelai paused on the spot not knowing what to do. She took a few deep breaths and quietly climbed the rest of the stairs until she was on the landing. The door to his office wasn't shut but the gap was too small to see inside. She could hear Luke and a woman whispering. Lorelai leaned closer to door trying to hear what they were saying. Lorelai fought the urge to burst through the door when she heard Luke "Wow, beautiful" then the woman replied "Why thank you" there was silence for a minute then Lorelai heard the women comment "fits perfectly"

"You're very talented" Luke whispered

Lorelai could feel the rage rising inside her, she turned quickly and ran down the stairs back into the diner. She picked her bag up from her chair and walked out the door without a word.

"Mom" Rory left her pie and ran after her mother "Mom stop!"

Lorelai kept walking "Mom" Rory ran up to her and grabbed her arm "What's with the running out on me, you're lucky I don't have abandonment issues?"

"Nothing, nothing just felt like a walk" Lorelai said slowing the pace

"Mom was Luke upstairs?"

"Oh he was up there"

"Did you guys have a fight?"

"Not yet" Lorelai spat out and started to walk faster again

"Mom stop you're scaring me" Rory ran in front of her mother then stopped. Lorelai stopped and looked at the ground "Red head" Lorelai whispered

"What?"

"Luke had a woman upstairs"

"A redhead?" Rory asked not quiet understanding

"I don't know I couldn't see her maybe she was blonde. Blonde have more fun right. I can't believe him"

"What happened... what...were they... doing?"

"I don't know I didn't see them but I heard them, whispering words like perfect, beautiful, amazing,.. typical.. all men are the same"

"Mom Luke's not the same. I'm sure there's an explanation for it" Rory said trying to calm Lorelai down

"Oh yeah I bet there is, he'll make up some excuse... you know it all fits. Luke's been happy lately, really happy, smiling, singing all the signs of a man who has been cheating" Lorelai could hold it in any longer, the tears taking over the anger

"oh mom" Rory put her arms around Lorelai then she pulled back and took her hand "Come on lets get home. Luke will be home soon and we can sort this all out"

"He can sort out his belongings from the front yard. He's not coming into my house. I don't want to hear it" Lorelai was now crying so heavily Rory was afraid Lorelai would collapse there on the street.

"Okay come on let's just get home" Rory said taking Lorelai by the hand.

When they got home Lorelai ran upstairs and Rory followed her. Lorelai opened the top draw of the dresser and started to pull out Luke's clothes "Get me a box hun"

"Mom"

"You're right, a box it too good I'll just through them on the ground"

"Mom stop" Rory cried. "Stop please"

"Why?"

"Because look whatever is going on just give Luke a chance to explain"

"I don't want to hear it"

"I know but mom come on this is Luke, he loves you to death" Lorelai burst out crying when she heard Rory say those words "I just don't' want it to be true" Lorelai whispered through her tears.

"I know and I'm sure it's not"

Lorelai sat down on the floor "I hate him"

"Mom"

"I hate him for making me feel like this, for making me act like this. This isn't me"

"I know, come on please stop crying" Rory said hugging her mother, she hated seeing her like this. Rory was sure that Luke would never cheat on Lorelai but Lorelai didn't want to hear it.

"Look promise me you won't do anything. I'll go down and make you a cup of coffee and we'll talk okay"

Lorelai wiped her eyes and nodded.

As Rory was walking down the stairs the front door opened. "Hey Rory" Luke smiled cheerfully

"Luke um.. I need to talk to you"

"What's wrong. Where's Lorelai is she okay?"

"No she's not"

"Where is she?"

"She's upstairs but Luke…" Rory watched Luke run towards the stairs "Luke stop she doesn't want to see you"

"What, why?"

Rory motioned for Luke to follow her into the kitchen. They sat down at the table and Rory starred at her hands.

"Rory please, I'm having trouble breathing here"

"Are you cheating on mom?"

Luke starred at her in shock "What... where is this coming from?"

"Are you cheating on mom?" Rory asked again

"No now please tell me where this is coming from"

"After the movie we went to the diner to get some pie and Mom went upstairs to find you, when she got up there apparently she heard you with another women"

"Oh" now it was Luke's turn to look at his hands, then Luke's eyes widened "Oh she heard that"
