Okay, So, I'm up and running again! YAY! Lets all do a happy dance! No Authors note because I am far far to lazy...

Lorelai sighed, and attempted to return her mind to the conversation at the dinner table. As much as she hated to admit it, life was still going on dispite the disasterous scene in the diner. Friday night dinner was still required of her, and she was lucky that her parents, far to engrossed in whatever it was Rory was talking about, had not noticed, or at least not commented on, her unusual quiet state. No matter how hard she tried, she could not keep her thoughts from returning to Luke's revealing rant. Lorelai had never seen so much emotion from her favourite diner man...

Luke sighed, and took another swig of beer. He felt really stupid. He had not meant to expose all of those thoughts to Lorelai. Luke knew he was not the type of person who was very open with his feelings and thoughts. He could only hope that now that Lorelai knew what was bothering him, she could appologize approriately. He hoped that he would be able to accept her appology.

(this is for whoever it was who suggested that I cut up the story a bit to make it appear longer)

Luke was rudely awakened from his sleep from an unappreciated banging on his door. He got up and stormed down the stairs to tell-off whoever was pounding on his door so late.

Lorelai could hear Luke stomping down the stairs to the diner, and began to regret her decision to come to his place so late. She hadn't been thinking about his reaction, only of how much she needed to talk to him, to appologize to him. Well, she was here now, might as well face his wrath.

Luke glared out across the diner. His angry gaze landed on Lorelai standing outside the door. Immediatly his features relaxed at the look of uncertainty and timidness on her face. He had never expected to see these emotions on her face, much less be the cause of them. But, his anger returned, though slightly more subdoed, when he remembered that it was one in the morning. He walked across the diner and unlocked the door.

"What are you doing here?" Luke questioned, trying to keep his voice level.

"I...I...I really really needed to talk to you..about...what happened the other day. I've never seen you so angry, so admitting of your feelings. It scared me. I didn't understand before. I didn't understand the depth of the hurt I caused for you. I want to apologize for real this time. I want you to know that you are not a failure. You did not fail at protecting your family. Jess, well, he is who he is, that accident was not really his fault. Luke, you can't expect to be held resposible for the choices that your family makes. You can only do your best to support them and love them. I want you to know that me and Rory, we're your family too, and you haven't failed us. But, I failed you by putting all the blame on you when you were already in deep. I'm really really sorry Luke." Lorelai let out. " I know that both me and Rory love you, and I hate that we aren't talking or acting like family any more..."

"Oh Lorelai..." Luke interupted, "You have no idea how much that means to me. That you and Rory think of me as family. I have always loved both of you. I know that your sorry. I'm sorry that I couldn't explain to you before. It was just to hard to think about...and I want you both to know that you are completely forgiven...and..."

Lorelai then proceeded to return the favour Luke had bestowed on him, by interrupting, but this time, with her lips upon his. She kissed him with all the love she felt for him, and when he recovered from the shock, he began to kiss her back.

Well, I'm going to stop the story there. I know, I'm mean. But, I mean, really, what would happen after that is basically what happened on the show, minus the whole stupid WBB thing with Christopher. I mean come on! Who takes advice from their twenty year old daughter who has had some of the worst experiences with relationships and acutually lies to thier boyfriend? That is just the stupidest thing that anyone could ever do...okay, mini-rant over...Hope you enjoyed the story!
