A/N: This will probably be the last chapter so I want to thank all of you who have reviewed throughout the story. And I wrote this at midnight last night hyped up on coffee so if it isn't my best blame the coffee.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but Kevin, the girl Logan cheated with, and Kevin's wife. ASP owns everything else so don't sue. hehe I don't even own everything up to and it scares the hell out of me in Lorelai's begining line. gglvr22 from the WB message boards does.

"Luke... I love you...but can we really make this work?" ...(long pause)" I mean i fell apart when you left...I hate admitting it but I dont know if I can go through that again...it just hurt too much, I have never said those three words to anyone"...(a small smile spreads across lukes face) and when I got pregnant I just sort of sheltered myself from everyone but when I met you...every day i saw you, you would help me come out and trust someone...just by being your monosylabic self (she smiles at him) it just scares the hell out of me that I can feel this way about someone. For some reason I always thought that if I ever said I love you to anyone that it would scare them away. Now that I look at all my relationships I never really loved them. Well I may have loved them but I wasn't IN love with them. But with you it just feels so easy to say it, you know? And with you I am IN love with you, I guess I always have been but was to scared that you didn't feel that way or that if I told you, you would run. And I know that I said that I would cut off all ties to my family but I can't do that as much as I want to, I can't. You just have to trust me. Do you trust me?"

Lorelai took a deep breath because she said all of that in one breath. She smilied at the thought that she is becoming like Luke with his ranting skills that she loves. As she returned to reality she became worried because Luke hadn't said anything to the speech she just made. But right before she was about to tell him to forget what she said he spoke up much to Lorelai's relief.

"Lorelai, I really want to make this work too. And I told you that I trust you but its Christopher that I have a hard time trusting. When you told me that you were at his house at first I was mad but then I knew that you wouldn't cheat on me even if we were just dating so it wasn't that bad. But then he was saying all that stuff to me once we found Rory and Logan in the back and I just blew it. He had never really been around and then he said all that stuf and even though he was drunk it still got to me and I donno. I mean I knew I loved you then but when he said all of that I couldn't help but think that in a way e could be right. And as much as I don't want to admit it it scared me that you would leave me for him. So I left. I know that was stupid and believe me when Liz found out what I did the entire time I was gone I heard how stupid I had been. (Lorelai smiled at this) You understand that I trust you though, don't you?"

Lorelai nodded in agreement and by this time she was right infront of him and she could feel his breath as he talked. They both had to admit that they missed this. They both knew they needed to work more things out but they didn't want to move from where they were at except for when they locked into a passionate and heated kiss. Lorelai unwillingly was the first to pull away because she still had questions that needed to be answered. As much as she wanted to move forward with the kiss they still had to talk. So she made the first move with this.

"Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"Why did you come back?"

"Lorelai, I told you tha.."

" No, I mean what gave you the courage to come back and admit your true feelings? I mean of course I wasn't but how did you know that I felt the same way as you did?"

" I got tired of TJ."

"Luke, be serious please."

"Honestly?"

"Yeah. Honestly."

"Rory."

"Rory? What did she do to make you know that I love you?" Lorelai asked slightly cofused.

"She called and asked me to meet her at Yale for lunch. And she is like my daughter so I agreed and we talked for a while and we walked around the campus. As she was showing me where her classes were and everything. She seemed so happy and then all of that happiness went away when she saw Logan with another girl making out. She was so upset and they broke up. But while we were tallking she told me that you still loved me and how you were when you found out I left.( Luke looks down at this point) but she went back to her dorm and I followed her but she wanted to be alone so I told her I would leave but before she let me I had to promise her I would come see you."

"Oh. I need to call her and see how she is doing."

Lorelai headed towards the inn's phone but Luke stopped her.

"Lorelai, call her tomorrow because it is after eleven."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Why don't we go to my house so we can talk some more?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Then lets go."

One the way to Lorleai's house they talked about many things that had happened in each other's lives during the year apart along with good times they shared together including their first date, they day they met, and many other times they shared. In a matter of about five minutes though they were at her house. They got out, went inside and decided to just sit on the couch together and talk some more.

"You know tonight reminds me of "Better Days."

"Huh?"

"You know the song by the Goo Goo Dolls. (in a singy voice) And you ask me what I want this year, And I try to make this kind and clear, Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days, Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings, And desire and love and empty things, Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days, So take these words, And sing out loud, Cuz everyone is forgiven now, Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again."

Luke looks confused but then he his confusion turns into a smile.

"You know I have never heard that song but i like it already."

"Is that so?"

"Yup."

Luke and Lorelai share a series passionate kisses that turned even more heated.

"Luke?"

"Hum.?"

"Bedroom."

And with that they made their way upstairs. As the song Better Days begins to play.

Now hit the pretty little purple button and review. I will do a different story I just need some ideas! Well MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
