A/N: First off I don'town anything. Second thank's to everyone that's reviewed. And Thanks to Elizabeth Bennent for being a great beta.
A quick warning about this chapter, if you like Logan you may want to skip it. Nothing really bad.
The next morning Lorelai made her way home determined to set Rory straight. She was not going to let her daughter screw her life up. She had time to think and to calm down while she was with Luke he always seemed to have a calming effect on her. Now she was ready to fight for her daughter. She was on her way home just after six. Her fight with morning sickness slowed her down slightly. She had about an hour and a half to talk to Rory, before she needed to be at the inn.
"Hey, your up early," Lorelai said to Rory when she saw her sitting at the kitchen table.
"Yeah, I was just about to leave you a note. I have my last final today and I told Logan I would stop by later," Rory said as she walked back into her room to grab her bag.
"Are you sure you should be seeing him right now?" Lorelai asked following Rory into her room.
"What does that mean?" Rory asked turning to look at her mom.
"It means that with everything that's happened lately. Maybe you should take a break from your partner in crime," Lorelai said placing her hands on her hips.
"Mom, it's not like that. I told you the whole thing was my idea," Rory said as she walked past Lorelai on her way out of her room.
"I know what you said, but I also know that you have never done anything like this before. And then last week Logan tried to steal something from your grandparents' house and you just let him. Then when your grandmother noticed that it was missing and she was about ready to strip search the maid. You still didn't say anything, I had to make him give it back," Lorelai said blocking Rory from leaving the kitchen.
"That wasn't what it looked like. You don't understand," Rory said as she moved around Lorelai and made her way to the front door.
"Then make me understand, because all I know is that your not acting like the real Rory. Your like some pod person that doesn't think things through any more," Lorelai said as she once again kept Rory from leaving.
"I am an adult now. I know what I'm doing now I have to get to school. Goodbye," Rory said as she pushed past Lorelai and went out the door slamming it behind her.
"Damn it," Lorelai swore under her breath as she watched Rory's car pull out of the drive way. That did not go how it was suppose to, Lorelai thought as she went upstairs to get ready for work.
For the rest of that day Lorelai buried herself in her work. She hadn't heard from Rory all day she had picked up the phone several times but had never gone through with the call. It was a little after nine when Lorelai was finally able to leave the inn.
Lorelai walked into Luke's around nine thirty. She saw Luke behind the counter and with out a word she walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him. He returned the hug pulling her a little closer.
"Hey," Lorelai said as she pulled back slightly looking up at Luke.
"Hey. Bad day?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, the worst," Lorelai said as she rested her head back against his chest.
"Sorry. Are you hungry?" Luke asked as Lorelai pulled away and made her way back around the counter.
"Starving, can I get a burger, fries and coffee?" Lorelai asked.
"How many cups have you had?" Luke asked as he went to put her order in.
"One," at Luke's raised eyebrow she explained, "I didn't have time to come here all day and the coffee at the inn sucks. So I have only had one cup today," Lorelai smiled up at Luke as he set a cup of coffee in front of her. She quickly picked it up and downed half the cup.
"You might want to take your time with that. It's the only one your getting," Luke said as he wiped down the counter.
"Fine," Lorelai said as she looked down into her coffee.
"What happened today?" Luke asked as he watched her closely.
"I got into a fight with Rory this morning. She was getting ready to leave when I got home this morning. She had to get back to school for her last final, and she wanted to see Logan," Lorelai almost choked on his name, "I asked her if it was a good idea for her to see him right now. I told her I didn't want her to see him. Then she told me that she was an adult and knew what she was doing right before she left slamming the door behind her. I hate fighting with her epically about a boy," Lorelai said putting her face in her hands.
"Maybe you should call her. Try to talk to her again she has to see that you have a point that kid isn't good for her," Luke said as he rubbed her shoulders briefly before going to get here food.
Lorelai picked up her cell phone and was about to call Rory when her phone started ringing. "Weird," Lorelai said as she answered her phone.
"Hello?"
"Mom? Where are you?"
"Luke's. Are you okay?"
"I'll be there in a minute," Rory said hanging up.
"Did you talk to Rory?" Luke asked as he placed her food in front of her.
"Yeah, she said she was coming here," Lorelai said as she picked up her burger.
"Well that's good," Luke said as he started clearing off the tables.
Rory came into the diner a few minutes later.
"Mom," Rory said as she walked over to where Lorelai was sitting and wrapped her arms around her.
"Hey are you ok?" Lorelai asked as she wrapped her arms around Rory as best as she could while sitting.
"I'm sorry about this morning. You were right," Rory said as she pulled back from Lorelai with tears running down her cheeks.
"It's ok. Do you want to tell me what happened?" Lorelai asked.
"I guess," Rory said as she looked around at the empty diner, "I went to see Logan after my final. And the whole time I was there I just kept thinking about what you said this morning. I haven't been myself around him. I just go along with whatever he says. And that's not me; you know that. That's when I realized he's not what I want. He's not who I want. So I told him that I think we should break up," Rory said as more tears made there way down her cheeks. "Then he turned into a real jerk, he started going on about what he gave up to be my boyfriend because that's what I wanted. How I made him change to be with me and now I'm just throwing him away. Then he threw the whole thing that happened with Dean in my face," Rory said as she buried her face against Lorelai's shoulder.
"Aww, honey I'm sorry," Lorelai said as she rubbed Rory's back.
"Is everything okay?" Luke asked when he saw Rory clinging to Lorelai.
"Yeah. Can I have a cup of coffee?" Rory asked as she lifted her head from Lorelai's shoulder.
"Sure," Luke said as he turned to get her coffee.
"Are you ok?" Jess asked as he walked out of the kitchen and saw Rory's tear stained face.
"I'm fine," Rory said as she wiped at her eyes.
"Do you want something to eat?" Luke asked as he set her cup of coffee down in front of her.
"Can I get a burger and fries?" Rory asked picking up her cup of coffee.
"Sure," Luke said as he went to start her food.
"Are you sure your ok? We can get our food to go and go home if you want," Lorelai said quietly looking over at Rory.
"Yeah I'm fine," Rory said turning to look out the window.
" Ok, I'm going to go to the ladies room. I'll be back in a minute," Lorelai said as she headed up the stairs to Luke's apartment.
"Here you go," Luke said as he placed Rory's food in front of her, "Where's your mom?"
"She went upstairs to use the bathroom," Rory said around a mouth full.
"I think I'm going to go check on her," Luke said as he went over to the stairs.
"More coffee?" Jess asked walking over to Rory with the coffee pot.
"Sure," Rory said without looking at him.
"Are you ok?" Jess asked as he poured her coffee.
"Did I try to change you?" Rory asked in a small voice.
"What?"
"When we were dating. Did you think I was trying to change you?" Rory asked looking up at him.
"No," Jess said looking away from her.
"Why did you leave?" Rory asked watching him as he wiped down the counter.
"I don't know," Jess said as he looked up at her.
"Do you regret it?" Rory asked as she met his eyes
"Yeah," Jess said looking into her eyes. They both looked away when they heard someone coming downstairs.
Meanwhile upstairs…
"What took you so long?" Lorelai asked as Luke walked into the apartment.
"Sorry. What's going on? Is Rory ok?" Luke asked.
"Yeah... she's going to be fine. She broke up with Logan. But that's not why were up here. I think we need to talk," Lorelai said as she took a seat at the kitchen table.
"Ok, what do you want to talk about?" Luke asked sitting down next to her.
"I think you should move in with me," Lorelai said looking at her hands, "I mean if you wan to? I mean do you want to move into my house with me?" Lorelai asked looking up at Luke.
"No," Luke said at Lorelai's panicked look he continued, "I don't want to move into your house but I do want to live with you."
"Then where are we going to live? There's not enough room here for all of us," Lorelai said as she gestured around at the room.
"In our house," Luke said stressing the word our.
"What do you mean our house?" Lorelai asked arching her eyebrow at him.
"I bought us a house," Luke said looking down at his hands.
"What do you mean you bought us a house?" Lorelai asked her voice rising slightly.
"I bought the Twickham house," Luke said looking up at her.
"Is that why you helped with the museum?" Lorelai asked ,not exactly sure what to say.
"Yeah," Luke said.
"When did you do all of this?" Lorelai asked still in shock.
"I signed the papers today, I was going to tell you tonight," Luke said taking her hand, "I don't want it to seem like I did this behind your back. It's just that everything went a lot faster than I thought it would."
"You bought us a house?" Lorelai said pointing at Luke with her free hand, "You really are perfect you know that?" Lorelai said pulling Luke into a kiss.
"When can I see it?" Lorelai asked as she pulled away resting her forehead against Luke's.
"I have the keys. Do you want to see it now? Do you think Rory will be ok with it?" Luke asked.
"Let's go find out," Lorelai said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the door.
"Rory," Lorelai called as she walked over to where she was sitting.
"Yeah?" Rory asked looking at her mom.
"What do you think about moving?"
"What do you mean move? Move where?" Rory asked looking up at her mom.
"To the Twickham house. Luke bought it. I know this is a lot on you today, but I wanted to tell you as soon as I found out," Lorelai said looking at Rory with her eyes shining.
"Wow you bought a house?" Rory asked turning to look at Luke.
"Yeah do you want to see it?" Luke asked.
"Yeah when can we?"
"Now if you want?" Luke asked looking at Lorelai.
"We do," Rory said as she headed towards the door with Lorelai and Luke following close behind. Rory held the door open for them.
"Are you coming Jess?" She asked looking back at him.
"Sure," Jess said as he followed her out the door.
The four of them got into Lorelai's jeep and drove the short distance to the house.
Luke unlocked the door and turned on the lights. Moving aside to let everyone in.
"Watch out for the hole over there," Luke said pointing to the hole in the floor.
"Wow this place is huge," Rory said as she turned in circles taking in the place, "Can I go upstairs?" Rory asked turning to Luke.
"Sure do you want a tour?" Luke asked.
"Yeah that would be great," Rory said as she headed up the stairs.
"Ok," Luke said as he took Lorelai's hand and pulled her upstairs after Jess and Rory.
"This is the master bedroom," Luke said as they came to the first room at the top of the stairs.
"This closet is almost as big as my room," Rory said when she saw the size of the walk in closet.
"I know I need more shoes," Lorelai said looking around the room.
"Great," Luke said as he lead them out of the room and into a much smaller bedroom that was right next to the master bedroom.
"This is the.." Luke started before Lorelai cut him off.
"Nursery," Lorelai said as she made her way over to the large picture window. Silent tears running down her cheeks. Luke walked over to her wrapping an arm around her waist.
"Hey what's with the water works?" Luke asked with a small smile.
"I'm just really happy. Stupid hormones," Lorelai said as she wiped at her eyes, "Let's go I want to see the rest," Lorelai said as she pulled Luke out of the room.
"This is the second largest bedroom next to the master," Luke said as he led them into a bedroom at the end of the hallway. There were large built in bookcases lining one of the walls.
"Can I have this room?" Rory asked Looking around.
"Sure. So are you ok with moving?" Lorelai asked watching as Rory wandered around the room.
"Yeah. I really like this house," Rory said looking over at Lorelai.
"Well the tour's not over yet," Luke said as he lead them into the next bedroom and then back downstairs.
"This is one of my favorite parts of the house," Luke said as he lead them into a large kitchen with large French doors that lead out to the back yard.
"Of course your favorite part would be the kitchen," Lorelai said looking around the large room. Rory and Jess went to check out the rest of the down stairs leaving Luke and Lorelai alone in the kitchen. Luke went over and stood behind Lorelai wrapping his arms around her waist.
"So do you like it?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, you did good," Lorelai said turning in his arms to look up at him.
"Really?" Luke asked tightening his arms around her.
"Oh yeah," Lorelai said leaning up to kiss him softly. Pulling back slightly Lorelai smiled at Luke's confused look.
"When do we move in?" Lorelai asked moving in a little.
"When ever you want," Luke said moving towards her.
"This weekend?" Lorelai asked moving to where her lips just a breath away from Luke's.
"Ok," Luke said before he crushed his lips to hers. Lorelai wrapped her arms around Luke's neck pulling him closer deepening the kiss. Luke had just moved one of his hands up under the back of Lorelai's shirt when they heard someone clearing their throat behind them.
"I can't leave you two alone for five minutes," Rory said smiling as Luke started to blush.
"What can I say? I'm irresistible," Lorelai said grinning up at Luke.
"Sure," Luke said rolling his eyes.
"So when are we moving?" Rory asked.
"This weekend, I figure it would be a good time. Most of your stuff is still in boxes from your dorm. We can start on Friday. How does that sound?" Lorelai asked looking over at Rory.
"That sounds good but we have Friday night dinner, remember?" Rory asked.
"How could I forget, maybe we can get out of it," Lorelai said hopefully.
"I guess we could try. But I'm not faking an incurable disease so don't ask. Have you told them about the baby yet?" Rory asked.
"Not yet. I don't know if I want to," Lorelai said turning back to Luke and leaning against him. Her smile fading.
"You do know your going to have to tell them at some point right? Your going to be showing soon," Rory said trying not to upset Lorelai.
"I know. But maybe I could just wait until the baby is old enough then have him tell them," Lorelai said.
"Your having a boy?" Jess asked looking back and forth between Luke and Lorelai.
"Yes," Lorelai said her smile returning.
"We don't know yet," Luke said looking over at Jess.
"So were going to try and get out of Friday night dinner and start moving in?" Rory asked Lorelai.
"Yeah that's the plan," Lorelai said grateful that Rory had dropped the subject of telling her parents about the baby for now at least.
"Well I think we should head home now. I'm getting tired," Lorelai said with a yawn as she leaned more of her weight against Luke.
"Ok let's go," Rory said walking towards the front door with Jess, Luke and Lorelai following.
Luke locked the front door and soon they were on their way back to the diner.
Lorelai leaned out her window to give Luke a quick kiss goodnight before heading home with Rory.
