Thanks to everyone for all of their reviews, this is the most that I have ever received and I am so glad that you are enjoying my story. Somebody said that they would have loved it if Laurie were Luke's kid. I haven't decided yet but my next story may have that happen. If you read my profile you would know that almost all of my stories are of Luke and Lorelai reconciling after so… Good Talk. So keep looking for that. And now on to the story.
2010
Luke walked through the door of Lorelai"s and now his house. There had been a lull at the diner so he decided to some home and sees Lorelai and Laurie. We walked into the living room and notice that nobody was there and the TV wasn't on. Laurie's coloring books and crayons weren't out either. "That's weird" Luke thought to himself, "Their usually always downstairs this time of day". Luke then walked upstairs and went inside his and Lorelai's bedroom. He then stood against the doorway to see that Lorelai had fallen asleep while working on her computer and Laurie was watching TV while coloring some pictures. "That's more like it." He thought to himself. Laurie then saw her dad and smiled at him.
"Hi Daddy"
Luke made his way over to Laurie and knelt down in front of her. "Hi Laurie, how was school?"
"Good, want to see some of the pictures I made today?" Laurie then held up some of her pictures and showed them to Luke.
"They are very good Laurie I think we are going to have to put some of those up on the refrigerator or on your bulletin board."
"Yeah well I still have some more to color."
"How long has mom been sleeping?"
"Two episodes of Spongebob, she was working on her computer but then she went night."
"Hey Laurie why don't you go downstairs and put your pictures on the fridge and I'll wake your mom up"
"Okay daddy" Laurie then got up off the bed and ran downstairs with her pictures in her hands. Luke got up and sat on the edge of the bed next to Lorelai. He reached out his hand and slightly shook her.
"Lorelai, rise and shine"
Lorelai then started to stir, "Mmm"
"I told you that you would be tired" Luke said as he brushed some loose curls out of Lorelai's face
"Yeah, yeah yeah" Lorelai than slowly sat up and leaned against the headboard "How long was I out?"
"Apparently two episodes of Spongebob"
"Where's Laurie, I told her to stay upstairs"
"I told her she could go downstairs and put her pictures on the fridge,"
"Alright, hey wait a second what are you doing here your suppose to be at the diner"
"There was a lull so I decided to take the opportunity to spend some time with you and Laurie."
"Well isn't that nice of you" Lorelai then swung her legs over the bed and then sat next to Luke.
"I sure thought so," He said in a playful manner
"You are so full of yourself you know that" Lorelai said as she playfully hit Luke against his chest
"So did you get all of your work done for your meeting"
"Yes I did, and if I don't say so myself I think this I did a mighty fine job, I am very happy with everything I planned now all I have to worry about is whether or not this client likes it enough to use the Inn as it's facility."
"I'm sure they will love it." Luke then placed his arm around Lorelai's shoulder and Lorelai leaned her head against his chest settling into his embrace.
Just then Laurie came in
"Daddy my pictures won't fit on the refrigerator, I have too many!"
"Well Laurie we will just have to find some other place to put them, I promise they will be shown off to the entire world." Lorelai told Laurie
"Okay Mommy"
"Hey what time is it?"
Luke looked over at the clock on the nightstand "Three forty-five"
"My meetings in forty-five minutes, I better get going. Laurie I want you to get your coat and you coloring books and go get ready to go, while I'm having my meeting you are going to be in my office"
"Okay mommy" Laurie ran off and out of the room
" You sure you don't need any help with her because I would be glad to switch days and take her back with me to the diner."
"No that's alright, Laurie won't be any trouble but thanks for the offer, I appreciate it."
"Anything you need me to do?"
"You could put my laptop and box of information for my meeting in my car for me"
"Sure thing"
2008
A few days after Lorelai and Laurie had come to Stars Hollow and Luke and Lorelai had dinner. Lorelai and Luke had seen each other every day and Laurie had become very attached to Luke.
Lorelai was in her kitchen at the stove making breakfast wearing a brown pajama top that went to just above her knees and her hair was curly. At the kitchen table was her computer and a whole bunch of files and papers and all sorts of stuff for work. Laurie was in the living room watching t.v.'
"Laurie come here and get your breakfast" Lorelai said as she was placing French toast and eggs on her plate.
"There you go" Lorelai leaned down to Laurie's level and handed her her plate.
"Thank you Mommy" Laurie gave her mom a kiss on the cheek and then ran off back into the living room.
Lorelai smiled as she watched Laurie run off but then she looked at the kitchen table and the smile soon disappeared. She slowly dragged herself to the table and picked up her pen where she left off. She was just about to start again when there was a knock at her door. "Figures" she said out loudly. Lorelai got up and made her way to the door.
"Who is it?"
"Luke" Lorelai was just about to answer the door when she noticed that she was still wearing her pajamas.
"What are you doing here?"
"You asked me yesterday to come by and fix the faucet in the downstairs bathroom."
"I'm still in my pajamas!"
"Lorelai I've seen you in a hell of a lot less"
"Good point" and on that note Lorelai opened the door and then leaned against the doorway
"Hi" she then yawned
"Hey, were you asleep, I hope I didn't wake you, I waited till I thought you would be awake but I guess I was off, I can come back later if you want."
"No Luke I wasn't asleep, I've been up for hours, so has Laurie. I was just working on stuff for the next Inn I'm working on, don't worry your timings perfect come on in." Lorelai moved out of the way and Let Luke come in and then closed the door.
Laurie spotted Luke and turned away from the t.v. Long enough to say hi to Luke. Luke said hi to Laurie and then followed Lorelai into the kitchen.
'Wow you weren't kidding when you said you were working"
"Yeah, I've been up since five thirty doing this stuff and I'm no where finished with it."
"What kind of inn are you working on next?" Luke asked as he and Lorelai sat down at her kitchen table.
"A big fancy one on Park Avenue, the kind my parents would absolutely love."
"How are they by the way, you haven't even mentioned their reaction to Laurie, have they even met her, do they know about her?"
"I'm not sure how they are, they've never met Laurie but they know about her. Right after I adopted her I sent them a letter telling them that I adopted a little girl that was one and a half years old and the I was doing it alone. I also said that I wasn't married and wasn't seeing anyone, nor planned on it. That I was still working in New York then I gave them my apartment phone number but told them specifically not to call me unless it was an emergency because otherwise I would hang up. They respected my wishes for once"
"That's all the contact you've had with them in the past three four years"
"Yep, but I know they are fine, otherwise I would have gotten a call, I don't think about them to often."
Laurie ran into the kitchen
"Mommy can I have seconds"
"Seconds on what?" Luke asked
"Mommy made me breakfast!"
"She did?" Luke said in disbelief
"Sure thing sweetie" Lorelai said. She took her plate and filled it up again "There you go"
"Thanks mommy"
Laurie ran out of the room, and Luke stood up and walked over to the stove
"What's the matter?"
Luke pointed to the stove "This food was cooked"
"I know"
"It's not frozen or pre-prepared or anything"
"I know"
"The food's not burned and there's no smoke"
"I know"
Luke then walked over to the refrigerator and opened it" There is no take out boxes or anything in here it's all food that you have to make your self"
"Thank you Captain Obvious"
" You can cook"
"I know"
"And you didn't just make a little bit you made a ton of food"
"I know"
" When, How and Why did you learn to cook?"
" I learned before I adopted Laurie, I taught myself and I figured that I should know how to cook because I couldn't live off of takeout for the rest of my life and besides the take out in New York really isn't that good and you can only have so many hot dogs you can have"
"I never expected Lorelai Gilmore to ever be able to cook, let alone want to cook in my entire life, I'm very shocked by this"
"You weren't the only one, you should have seen my face when I realized I didn't suck at it. I almost died"
" Yeah that would have been cool to have watched"
Lorelai then glanced at her clock on the microwave
"Shoot, I have to be at the Inn"
Lorelai went into the living room and Luke followed her
"Laurie sweetie I need you to go in your room and get your jacket and get ready because we have to go to the inn now?
"But I don't want to go to the Inn mom I want to stay here and finish watching Spongebob, this is the funniest one"
"Laurie I promise you if you come with me right now and you're a good little girl for mommy I'll but you that art set that you've been asking for"
"I'd rather stay here"
"I could watch her," Luke suddenly said
"You will"
"Sure"
"I want to stay with Luke, mommy" Laurie said enthusiastically
"Are you sure, she's very energetic I wouldn't be upset if you didn't want to"
"I don't mind, Laurie's a good kid, I'm sure there won't be any trouble"
"Please mommy I want to stay with Luke!"
"Alright, you can stay her with Luke" Lorelai then turned towards Luke "Your sure about this, I wouldn't be upset if you changed your mind"
"I've got your sink to fixed so I'm going to be here anyway and Laurie wants to stay here anyway and all she's going to do is sit there watch t.v. Maybe she'll talked to me for a little while. Piece of cake, trust me I can handle this."
"Alright, I'm going up stairs and getting changed, and then I'm leaving"
"Go ahead, everything is under control"
Next Chapter: Lorelai runs into Taylor and remembers the argument she had with him that ended in her taking the job that made her leave stars hollow and then we continue with Luke's morning and afternoon with Laurie. Laurie shows Luke pictures Laurie made for Lorelai that Lorelai kept in her box and Luke finds some of the other stuff that she kept and is surprised to find out what she did.
