Chapter 31

Nothing interesting to report after Christmas. Let's skip a couple months till March. Lorelai is on maternity leave. Lucy is skating again, Jess now lives above the diner and is going to Capital Community College, Rory's at Yale and still with Logan, and Luke is obviously still working at the diner.

Luke's Diner
Lorelai and Lucy come into the diner

"Lukey, we're here." Lorelai called as she and Lucy enter the diner.

"Lorelai don't call me that." Luke said as he was serving a customer.

"We're starved Luke. How a bout a couple of them burgers ya got?" Lorelai said in a Southern accent.

"Don't mind her Dad; she hasn't really been herself this afternoon." Lucy said sitting at the counter. Every since Christmas, Lucy had been calling Luke 'Dad'.

"What happened?" Luke asked.

"She was watching me at skating, and then I did a Salchow-"

"A what? A sour cow?"

"No, a Salchaw. But anyways, she thought that it was so amazing and made a seen."

"You didn't."

"I did." Lorelai said proudly.

"She kept saying 'Yup that's my daughter, did you see, huh, did you?' over and over and over again." Lucy said.

"What can I say; I have a very talented daughter." Lorelai touched her stomach. "Feel." She said.

Lucy put her hand Lorelai's stomach. "I guess they agree with you Mom."

"Yeah I guess so."

"Hi guys. Don't worry, you'll be out of there soon." Lucy said, talking to Lorelai's stomach.

"You know you're going to be a great big sister Luc." Luke said.

"You think so?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks." Lucy said with a smile.

"Lucas, food please. Your children are hungry." Lorelai said.

"Relax Lorelai." Luke said going back into the kitchen to cook their food.

"Hey Mom? Do you think you'll be able to fit into your wedding dress after the triplets are born?" Lucy asked.

"Thanks Lucy, that makes me feel so much better." Lorelai said sarcastically.

"I didn't mean that you weren't going to have your figure in the end, I just meant what if you don't."

"Lucy." Lorelai said and gave her a look.

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll be quiet."

"Here are your burgers." Luke said coming back out.

"Thank you Lucas." Lorelai said.

Just then, Jess came inside the diner.

"Hey guys." Jess said coming up to them.

"Hi Jess." Lucy said.

"Hey. When you put your stuff down, come back and help me." Luke demanded.

"Aye, aye Captain." Jess said sarcastically, saluting.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't be a smart ass."

"When's Rory coming?" Lucy asked Lorelai.

"She should be here soon. She's coming with Logan." Lorelai said.

Lucy made a face. "Why's she bringing him?"

"So you guys won't be bored." Lucy made another face, which Lorelai saw. "Be nice." She said warningly.

"Am I ever not?" Lucy said with a smile.

"Hey Lorelai, I was thinking that we could finish moving in by the end of the month. That way, Jess and I can have everything painted and ready in April." Luke said.

"Sounds good." Lorelai said.

"Can I choose my room before Rory?" Lucy asked.

"Why?"

"So that way I can get a bigger room than her."

"Sure why not."

"Great, and that way also, I can have a bigger closet space than her."

"Why can't you guys be civilized?"

"Oh we are civilized; it's just that your civilized isn't the same as our civilized."

"Right."

Lorelai Gilmore's House
Luke and Lorelai are getting ready to leave

"Make sure it's a big van, okay?" Lucy said following Lorelai around her bedroom.

"I will." Lorelai said, not really paying attention to what Lucy was saying.

"And make sure that it has a CD player."

"Okay." Lorelai said walking down the stairs.

"And make sure that it-"

"Lucy!"

"What?"

"It's going to be big, it'll have a CD player, it'll have cup holders, it'll have everything Luc. Are you happy now?"

"Yup." Lucy said making her way over to watch TV.

"I wonder where Rory is." Luke said.

"She'll be here soon, you guys just go." Lucy said.

"Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself until Rory gets here?" Lorelai asked.

"Mom, I'm always here by myself, of course I'll be okay."

"Okay. We'll see you later Honey." Lorelai said giving Lucy a kiss on her forehead.

Luke opened the front door. Rory was standing there with a tear stained face.

"Rory." Luke said surprised.

"Rory, Hon, what's wrong?" Lorelai said.

"He-he-" Rory said starting to cry again.

"We'll be a second Luke." Lorelai said to Luke giving Rory a hug.

"No, you guys go choose a car. It's okay."

"No, something's wrong, and I'm going to find out what it is."

"Should I do anything?" Luke whispered to Lorelai.

"Go back to the diner. This won't take long. I'll call you when we're finished." Lorelai whispered back.

"Okay." Luke kissed Lorelai on her forehead and left.

"Rory, what's the matter?" Lucy said coming to see what all the commotion was.

"Come on. Let's all go sit on the couch and have a girl talk." Lorelai said leading Rory and Lucy back into the living room.

"Where's Logan?" Lucy asked in disgust as she sat on the couch.

"Lucy, Honey, it's not the time." Lorelai said.

"Sorry." Lucy said sympathetically.

"It's okay. Now, Rory, what happened?"

Rory had calmed down a bit by then, and she said, "I saw Logan today."

"What did he do?"

"I was going over to his dorm to surprise him so we could both come here together, and I saw him…I saw him…"

"You saw him…" Lorelai said.

Rory let out a breath and said, "I saw him with another girl."

"You what!" Lucy said angrily.

"He was with another girl. They were making out in front of the door."

"What an ass!" Lucy shouted.

"Lucy!" Lorelai said warningly.

"Sorry." Lucy said calmly.

"Did he see you?"

"Yeah. I started yelling at him. He claimed he was sorry. I said that if he was sorry, he wouldn't have done it in the first place, and right then and there, we broke up." Rory said, starting to cry again.

"You know what we can do?" Lorelai said.

"Don't you dare say wallow."

"Rory, you have to wallow. It's part of being female. When a guy breaks up with you, we wallow."

"Actually, I broke up with him."

"Even a better reason to wallow."

"Mom, I don't wallow. Tonight, it'll be me and Lucy. You and Luke go look for a van."

"But-"

"Mom, I am not going to wallow. Period." Rory insisted.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I hate to wallow."

"But I should stay."

"No, you and Luke go look for a van and me and Lucy will order in."

"If you say so." Lorelai said unsurely.

"Go Mom. We'll be fine."

"Okay. I'm going to call Luke so he can come and get me. I hate being fat, you can't do anything." Lorelai said getting off the couch.

"You're not fat!" Rory and Lucy shouted in unison.

"I'm getting fatter and fatter by the day."

"You're not fat." Lucy said.

"I'm ready Luke." Lorelai said into the phone. "I'll tell you when you get here."

"We're leaving!" Lorelai said.

"Okay! We'll see you when you get back!" Rory said.

"Okay! I love you guys."

"We love you too!"

"You were right you know." Rory said.

"Right? About what?" Lucy said confused.

"About Logan."

"What did I say about Logan?"

"About how he was cheating on me."

"When did I say that?"

"When I was getting my stuff in the summer at Grandma and Grandpa's house, remember, when we were coming home."

"I didn't say he was, I said he looked like a guy who was cheating on you."

"I know, but either way, you were right."

"I guess. I'm still going to kick his ass; I mean he doesn't deserve you."

"Thanks."

"You are probably the nicest, most smart person in the entire world, and I want to be just like you."

"You wanna be just like me?"

"Yeah. I want to go to Chilton like you, and I want to go to Yale like you."

"That's so sweet."

Lucy made a face and said, "I'm not sweet."

"Oh yes you are." Rory said.

"Eww no."

"Yes you are." Rory said and gave Lucy kisses and tickling her.

"I'm not!" Lucy said between giggles.

Author's Note: Hey guys. I haven't updated in four days. I thought it was longer. Right now I'm going to write the next one. This one is to keep you satisfied. Sorry all you Logan lovers. I don't really like him that much. I'll try to get the next one up tonight.
