Luke and Lorelai's house. Lorelai is in the kitchen cooking dinner. Luke walks in the back door but Lorelai doesn't hear in walk in. Luke just stands there and looks at her.
He never got used to her standing there behind a stove. When he used to dream of their life together he never once thought she would ever be behind a stove cooking. She had really changed during their time apart. Despite that though she was still his Lorelai. She was still as beautiful as ever too. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her. To him she was the most beautiful woman in the entire world. She was still dressed in her work clothes, a black knee length skirt and a red turtle neck sweater, and her shoes were off. You could see her pregnant belly just starting to show, you could tell better when she turned to the side. She was more beautiful now then ever. Just then Lorelai turned around from the pot she was stirring and spotted him.
" How long have you been standing there?"
"Not long"
"I didn't even hear you come in"
"Well unlike some people I know I don't make a ton of noise when I enter a room"
"Well unlike some people I know I don't like to scare the hell out of someone when I walk in a room"
Luke walked over to where Lorelai was standing and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and kissed her cheek.
"Hi"
"Hi back"
"How did your meeting go?"
"They signed"
"Congratulations"
"Thank you"
"I'm very proud of you"
"Well I have you to thank"
"Why me"
"You helped me with it"
"Not that much"
"You still did"
"How could I not you would have killed yourself otherwise and I couldn't have that happen"
"True, true, but I still appreciate it"
"Where's Laurie?"
"Upstairs in her room"
"Good to know"
Luke started absent mindly kissing her neck
"Where were you when I wanted to do that earlier?"
"I told you I had to things to do"
'Well if you haven't noticed I'm doing something right now"
"So" and with that Luke continued what your he was doing
"You know the last time you did that I ended up looking like this"
"How many times do I have to tell you, you look incredibly beautiful"
"Once more"
Luke turned her head so she would face him and looked into her eyes" You look incredibly beautiful"
With that Lorelai stopped stirring the pot and brought her hands around his neck and kissed him, it started out slow and soft but then got more and more heated, after a few moments Lorelai pulled away.
"Alright, you standing here is distracting me, go sit over there and go through the mail or something, if you don't I'll end up burning dinner or something"
"Fine, we'll continue this later"
"You bet we will"
Luke kissed Lorelai on top of the head and then sat down at the kitchen table watching Lorelai
"You know I will never ever get used to the fact that you can cook"
"Last thing you ever expected to see?"
"Not the last thing but one of them"
"Yeah well I never expected you to want to make out in my kitchen so I guess something's change"
"Guess so"
"So anything exciting happen today?"
"Jess called" Lorelai tuned around to look at him
"And?"
"He's going to ask tonight"
"He is"
"Yep he's taking Rory out tonight and he going to ask her to marry him"
"Is he nervous"
"Oh yeah"
"Oh that makes me so happy"
"Still can't believe it myself"
"Well it's hard to believe I mean it took them long enough"
"We really shouldn't be talking"
"Yeah your right about that"
"I'm glad they both got there act together thought"
"There was a time I thought it would never happen"
"I thought the same thing once to"
2008
It's about a month after Luke and Lorelai got back together. Lorelai was now in her New York apartment packing. She had quit her job with the Durham group and was moving back to Stars Hollow. She was back in New York for hopefully her final time. She really didn't have a whole lot of stuff to move. The apartment she and Laurie lived in was a furnished apartment. All she had to pack was hers and Laurie's clothes, Laurie's toys, stuff like that. Jess was coming by later to drop off his Ford Escape so she could drive her stuff to Stars Hollow and then she was coming back dropping off her keys for her apartment and office and then she was taking the train home. She couldn't wait. Laurie was so excited. She absolutely loved Stars Hollow. She loved Luke too. Lorelai asked Laurie if she wanted to come with her to New York and say goodbye but she said she rather stay with Luke for the weekend. That put the biggest smile on Luke's face, which put a huge smile on hers. So Lorelai told Laurie she could stay with Luke besides moving without a three years old hanging on to your leg the whole time can be a little stressful. Lorelai was so happy to be coming home. One of the best moments of her life was when she walked into Mike Armstrong's office and told him that she quit. She always hated that guy, reminded her of Jason. He always hit on her and asked her out repeatedly. She never told Luke that though otherwise he would have gone and kicked his ass and Lorelai didn't want to start out again that way. Just thinking of Luke put a smile on her face. When she saw him on her porch that night she knew right then she couldn't leave. And after he said all those wonderful things she was so ecstatic, god she hadn't felt like that in years. She was ecstatic when she adopted Laurie but it was a different kind of ecstatic, she knew she could have Laurie, she knew she could take care of Laurie, if there were challenges she knew she could handle them. With Luke she never thought she would ever get back to that place, the fact that she had blew her mind. She just couldn't stop smiling.
Lorelai was quickly throwing things into boxes; she wanted to get out of there, as fast a s possible. She didn't want to waste a single minute. She was in the middle of packing Laurie's clothes into o a suitcase when there was a knock on her door. She walked over and answered and saw in was Jess. She answered the door gave him a hug and then Jess was the first to speak.
"Long time no see"
"Yeah long time no see"
"You excited about going home?"
"You bet"
"Laurie excited?"
"She's thrilled, I've never seen her so happy, and she's a pretty cheerful child"
"Yeah she's great, I talked to Luke, she just adores her"
'I know she feels the same about him"
'He adores you too you know, he missed you so much, he's so happy your coming home"
"So am I"
"And as much as I never thought I would say this because I will admit there was a time where I hated your guts, I'm going to miss having you around, you were like a second mom to me, and a great friend but I'm glad you finally got what you wanted, you deserve it, especially after everything that's gone on the past couple of years"
"I'll miss you too, but you know this just gives you more reason to visit. I mean Laurie's gonna what to see her Uncle Jess"
"I will I promise"
"Good"
"The same goes to you too you know, Stars hollow isn't that far away from here,"
"I know, I will"
"Good"
" So what are you doing here, I though you weren't dropping your car off to later?" Lorelai resumed packing and Jess put his hands properly, he was starting to get nervous.
"Yeah well I thought you might need it"
"I'm not quite finished packing here. I still have Laurie's things to pack and I may need more boxes, Luke didn't give me near enough"
"That's not why I brought it"
"Then why did you?"
"I found her"
"Found who?"
"Rory" Lorelai slowly looked up from what she was doing and looked at Jess"
"You found Rory"
"Yes"
"Where?"
"She lives here on the island in Soho"
"How did you find her?"
"Well I was picking up a delivery for work, new shipment of encyclopedias there. She walked out of the bookstore but didn't see me, I asked the manager if he knew who she was and apparently she goes there often. I asked if he knew where she lives and he gave me her address, I went to her apartment building and asked if she indeed did live there and she does"
"How did she look?"
"Like Rory"
"Was she with Logan?"
"No she was alone, lives alone too"
"You didn't go talk to her?"
"No, I thought you should first"
"You think I should go talk to her"
"I think that you have reconnected a lot in the past month, you went back home, your going back to your inn and your going back to the guy you love, so I think you should reconnect with your best friend better known as your daughter because things will never fully go back to the way they were if you don't"
"Do you think she would even want to see me?"
"I think she'll be shocked but after a second she will"
"Are you going to go talk to her"
"Maybe someday"
"Jess"
"I just don't want to get my hope up"
"Yeah but do you want to be spending the rest of your life wondering what would of happen if you didn't"
"No"
"Then go after her"
"I will if you will"
Later that day, Luke's diner Laurie is sitting by the cash register with her coloring books coloring and drinking a glass of water. Luke is watching her while talking on the phone to Lorelai
"Yeah everything is going fine here, Laurie's doing great…yes I do think you should go… you haven't seen her in years it's time to confront her… I know your scared but it will be good for you both… don't you want Laurie to meet her older sister?...That's what I thought… tell I said hi... yes I'll tell her… you too... bye'"
"How's mommy?"
"She's fine, she misses you though"
"I miss her too"
"That's a really nice picture you have there"
"Thank you Luke"
"Luke?… I thought you told me that you wanted to call me dad when your mom wasn't around what happened"
"I don't like to pretend"
Luke walked over to the other side of the counter and stood next to Laurie
"Well what if I told you that you didn't have to pretend anymore"
"You mean I can call you daddy!"
"Sure thing"
"Can I call you that around mommy"
"Yes you can"
"Yeah1"
"I'm glad you're happy"
Laurie pulls on Luke's sleeve and gets him to bend down to her eye level. Laurie kisses him on the cheek and then gives him a hug
"What was that for"
"For being my daddy"
Luke gives the little girl a smile, and then pats the top of her head
"Your welcome"
Back in New York Lorelai is in Soho parks Jess' car outside of Rory's apartment building. She turns off the car and sits there for a minute to get herself together. She then gets out of the car and walks into her building to her apartment door. She looks around the building observing where Rory is living. It looks like a place Rory would live. She just hoped she still wasn't with Logan. That was her worst fear. She also hoped that Rory went back to school. She didn't even care where she went just as long as she went back. But what she wanted more than anything was for Rory to be all right. She slowly knocked on the door and waited for Rory to answer. It took a few moments but she finally did. When Rory answered the door and saw her mother she looked shocked. She stood there for a few moments and just looked at her but then she moved towards Lorelai and gave her a hug.
"I missed you Mom"
"I missed you too kid"
It's still not over yet. Still another chapter at least. I included Luke telling Laurie that he was going to be her dad like all of you wanted but I don't know if I like it let me know what you think. Some of you don't believe Lorelai and Jess could ever be civil to eachother let alone friends but I always thought they had a lot in common, I mean people have always judged them and not been given a fair chance, they've both run away from things and people. And most of all they both love Luke and Rory. I think that if Jess cleans up his act we could see them get along. Hopefully when Jess comes back on the show in November we will see that take place. So tell me what you think, please review and thanks for all the support.
