Ok, the next chapters are kind of fillers, so if they are boring, don´t blame me! ; ) I had some problems writing it, because in my head I´m already three or four chapters ahead.
to muffin aux carottes: For me Rory is the most difficult character to write about. maybe because I personally think that she´s kind of boring, which makes it hard for me to write something funny about her. But I put her in this chapter and the next one, this time more possitive than before!
to lilienprinzessin: the reason why they don´t get along is in the first or second chapter. It has to do with rory dropping out of Yale, but over all with their reaction to Lorelais engagement.
to gilmoregrly4life: I don´t know at the moment how many chapters are there to come, but I don´t think there will be more than 10 more, maybe even less. ah, and Rory won´t have a baby in this story. The reason is mentioned in my explanation to muffin aux carottes.
to ProFfeSseR: I´m leaving for Cairo the 25th august. It´s not really a vacation, because I make a language course in cairo, which means I have 5 hours at university a day.
Chapter 30: Back home
"Hello you handsome boy, are you healthy again? Did your parents take good care of you?" Patty said and wanted to take William out of his high-chair.
"Hey!" Luke yelled and with an angry look, so she sat William back in the chair.
"I just wanted to greet your cute son. Such a handsome one. And so friendly, totally his mothers child!" she added and then hurried to get out of the diner.
"Poor boy, I think we have to lock you in the house when you´re older, that she keeps her hands off you!" he whispered to Will and handed him a plastic baby-cup with tea.
"Hello Luke!" Kirk greeted him and took a seat on the counter.
"What do you want Kirk?"
"I just wanted to remind you of my offer to look after William Jeremy when the twins will be born. He can even live with me and my mother. And sometimes Lulu when she spends the night. But then he has to sleep in another room, of course. But I would turn the baby-phone on. That we can he hear him, not that he can hear us, I mean..."
"Thank you Kirk what a nice offer and we appreciate it, but no. We already have it covered." Lorelai answered before Luke could throw Kirk out, when she entered the diner and placed a hand on Luke´s shoulder before she kissed him. William laughed when he saw his mother and threw the cup on the floor.
"And I should pick it up now?" Lorelai asked and took him out of the chair, then sat down on one of the chairs in the diner
"Oh my god, you´re very heavy for your ten months my son. I think we have to put you on a diet"
"If you don´t carry him around the whole day you wouldn´t have to complain about that. And he ´s not too heavy. Why did you take him out of his chair?" Luke asked after he had served some food.
"Because he threw his cup on the floor and I´m too fat to pick it up!" she answered with a duh- expression on her face.
"In which way are these two events connected?" Luke asked back with a similar expression.
"Don´t ask me! Ask these two in here why I look like I´m ready to pop any moment although I´m just seven months pregnant! And why my back hurts like hell and my feet as well... wow, that rhymes, I could make a song out of it!"
"No! Don´t start to sing. The last time he cried for twenty minutes because you sang, or better screamed a Marilyn Manson song!" Luke said and picked up the cup. He handed it to William, who took it, looked at it, then threw it back on the floor and laughed.
"Oh no, not this game again, son, I don´t have time for that now. Why don´t you go upstairs with your mother and I´ll join you in a few minutes!" he said and then looked at Lorelai.
"ok, meet you upstairs! Don´t make us wait too long!" Lorelai said and stroked his cheek before she walked upstairs with William.
When Luke entered his old appartment half an hour later, William crawled towards him and held up his arms, so that Luke would pick him up.
"You´ll never learn to walk if we always carry you around!" said Luke and pulled him in a standing position and William started to bounce up and down. Lorelai was sitting on the couch, talking to someone on her cell phone.
"No, no problem, just stop by. Mmh? No, we´re in the diner...yes..okay...see you then kid!" she said and hung up.
"Rory?" Luke asked, while William made some movements on his hands which looked like steps a bit.
"Yes, she´s at Lanes at the moment but she will come over in some minutes." Lorelai answered and kneeled down and held her arms open for William.
"Something wrong? She hasn´t stopped by for nearly a month now!" Luke said and slid William carefully over the floor so that it looked more like floating, not walking. But the closer William got to his mother, the more exited he got.
"No, I just think that maybe now she starts to really miss us. Before, all she seemed to need was Logan, but maybe he´s not enough anymore and she comes to her senses. Hello my boy. Wow you can walk, I´m so proud of you!" Lorelai said in a baby-voice at the end to William and he squeaked and giggled.
"Ah, before I forget it. They delivered the new stroller this morning. It´s in the storage-room. But I have to tell you, that this thing is huge!"
"It has to be huge. Our three kids have to fit in there. Maybe we really need a mini-van now" Lorelai sighed and stood up.
"You hate these cars. Let´s wait, maybe we will find a better solution." Luke said and joined her on the couch, after he had picked up William. Lorelai leaned over and kissed her husband and placed her head on his shoulder when she needed oxygen again.
"Hi!" she smiled at him.
"Hi!" he said and smiled back.
"What are our daughters doing?" he asked.
"I think they are asleep,it´s so quiet in there. No kicking, no struggling." she answered and stroked with one hand over her belly. William tried to imitate the gesture, but hit her more than stroked her.
It wasn´t that hard, but after some seconds Lorelai felt some kicking.
"Thank you son, now you woke them up!" Lorelai said, but kissed him on his forehead.
"It´s so incredible. Every time I look at him I see you. The only thing he got from me are my eyes. But his hair, his mouth, even the way he looks, he got from you. And then sometimes when I´m alone with him I get sentimental, because he was inside of me and is a part of me, but he looks like the man I love. And then I feel so overwhelmed, what also has to do with my crazy hormones, and I would never confess it!" Lorelai told Luke and smiled.
"So when you will mock me and I will remind you of this.." Luke grinned.
"I will tell you that I never said that!" Lorelai finished his sentence and leaned in for a kiss, when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in daughter of mine!" Lorelai said. The door opened and Rory came in.
"Hey mom, hi Luke, hi Will!" she greeted them and walked over to the couch to kiss them on the cheek. She took William from Luke.
"Wow, you´re a big boy now, little brother!" she said to William who started to squeak again.
" And look at you mom! The last time I saw you I thought you couldn´t get bigger, but now...wow!" she said.
"Yeah, just tell her that,so that she will be yammering about it for the next week and get pissed at me because she blames me!" Luke said.
"Well I´m a woman of many talents, but I´m not able to get in this position all by myself!" Lorelai jumped in.
"See, here we go!" Luke said and rolled his eyes.
"Do you want something to drink or to eat?" he asked Rory.
"Yeah, we would like a burger and chilli fries and pie. And a cup of coffee!" Lorelai answered.
"Rory?" Luke asked and looked at his step-daughter.
"I take that!" she grinned.
"Ok, so two burgers, two chilli fries and one coffee and one tea!" Luke said and stood up.
"Meanie!" Lorelai pouted.
"The next time you get pregnant!" she said to Luke.
"The next time? I think we´ll talk about that after these two are born!" Luke said confused.
"Just joking!" Lorelai laughed and pulled him close by his hand to kiss him before he walked out of the room to get the food.
"So how are my two...?" Rory asked.
"Siblings? They are great. Will woke them up some minutes ago and now it´s play-time!"
"Mean! Does he know what we get?" Rory asked and held up William.
"Yes, he knows, but I´m afraid he can´t tell you, which, by the way is why he is allowed to know!"
"But Mom, that´s mean. I wanna know too! We always tell us everything! Pleeease!" Rory begged.
"No! If I tell you, you are not able to resist and tell your grandmother and then I will have to discuss about names with her and Luke will have to change the room of these two again, so..no way!"
"You already finished the room?" Rory asked confused.
"Yes, the one next to yours. We first thought about using Wills room, because it´s next to our own. But that would be mean and the other one is bigger, which means that we will have to walk a bit at night to feed them".
"You´re talking about the rooms?" Luke asked when he walked back into the room with two plates.
"Yes. Rory pay attention he eats your necklace!" Lorelai answered.
"Is there any reason why you stopped by?" Luke asked after he handed them their food and took William.
"Well...um...yes!" Rory said.
"Yes?" Lorelai asked confused.
"Yes. I uhm, wanted to ask you something."
"Okaaay.." Lorelai said and Luke sat down on a chair and placed William on the floor.
" As you know I´m living with Logan in his dorm at the moment, because I lost mine after I dropped out. But we don´t see each other very often and I´m afraid that when these two are born we won´t see each other anymore. I got my schedule for the next year already and I have my lessons in the afternoon. So I thought that maybe I could move back in with you and help you with William and the babies?" Rory asked hesitantly. Lorelai and Luke looked at each other in disbelieve.
"You want to move back in with us?" Luke asked.
"To help us with your siblings?"
"Yes,and to be with my family again" Rory said quietly and looked on the floor. Lorelai said nothing, just hugged her daughter suddenly.
"Of course you can come home" Luke said and hugged her also.
"Thanks mum, ...dad!" she said then and Lukes smile got even bigger.
"I´m glad to have you back,babe!" Lorelai sniffed. Then they heard Williams furious screams.
"What´s wrong with him?" Rory asked confused and untangled herself from her mother, who just laughed.
"He has his mothers character" Luke said.
"So he wants attention?" Rory laughed.
"Yeah, he´s jealous and screams, he wants something and screams, he is angry and screams..." Luke said and picked him up and kissed him. William stopped immediately.
"Sounds like you, Mom!" Rory laughed and ran over to Luke and hid behind his back when Lorelai tried to slap her.
"Each of these two will get his own room and you take the cellar!" Lorelai said and sat down on the couch again.
"Can you get me my burger, I´m afraid of her!" Rory said to Luke, still grinning.
"Yeah, sure!" Luke said and handed Rory her plate and sat down next to Lorelai. Rory took William and sat down at the table with him. They ate in silence and Lorelai snuggled closer to Luke and ate with her head lying on his shoulder, his arm around hers.
And Rory ate with William on her lap, feeding him with some fries whenever Luke didn´t pay attention, what brought her an appreciating smile from Lorelai.
"You forgot the pie!" Lorelai grinned when she had finished her burger.
"Yes, and my coffee!" Rory said.
"Okay, I´ll get it!" Luke said and took Will from Rory
"Hey!" Rory said.
"No pie and no coffee for him. The fries were enough! Don´t think I didn´t notice that. I know you too well, don´t think you can fool me all the time now that you are living together again!" Luke grinned.
"We´ll see about that!" Lorelai yelled after him and grinned at Rory.
