Gilmoremajorfan - If I would have seen your review earlier .. I would have done that. Damn .. I didn't look at them until after I wrote this. Maybe I'll use it for something in the next chapter.
Labyrith- You better get moving with your story! I want to find out more about his daughter! I am soo into it! Please continue!
The next month went by well, Luke's father was showing improvement, Lorelai was in the top 5 in her class, Luke was accepted into a top Culinary Arts college, Sookie got a new job at the Independence Inn, Jackson was starting formulas for new vegetables and Luke was getting over the fact that his little sister was pregnant. Luke and Lorelai decided to have a Christmas party with all their friends 2 days before Christmas
Lorelai and William forced Luke to get a big Christmas tree that Liz and Lorelai decorated. Lights were strung and stockings were hung. (Look I'm rhyming now!) Everywhere you turned, in the Danes household, was bits of green, red, silver and white.
On the morning of their party Lorelai woke up to Christmas music being played and the smell of cookies. She put on her fuzzy green slippers that matched her pajamas and walked downstairs. She saw Will dancing with his back turned against the stairs. She walked up to him and tapped on his shoulder and asked "May I have this dance?"
"Certainly."
He pulled her in as the began waltzing around the house. He spun her around and they danced into the kitchen where Luke was baking cookies for the party later.
He watched them dance, the two people he cared most about in the world. He saw as his father looked happy, he rarely looked happy. He watched Lorelai dance around the room with his father, her hair bouncing around, her eyes twinkle and laugh as his father made jokes.
When the song was over, Lorelai kissed Will on the cheek and said, "Thank you for being such a wonderful dancer and a great second-father."
He smiled at her and kissed her hand and said, "Thank you for being you."
She blushed and curtsied.
Will turned his attention to Luke and finally said, "Don't let her go."
Luke smiled and responded, "I don't intend to."
For the rest of the day they did preperations for the party. Luke cooked, Liz cleaned and Lorelai finished with the decorations.
Sookie came early to help Lorelai and Liz get ready. She was wearing a green skirt, white blouse, a green sweater and white heels. Lorelai picked out a black skirt that went down to her knees, a red turtle neck and black boots. Liz wore a crazy funky Christmas jean skirt and a white blouse.
They all had on Santa hats on - but each decorated to their own liking. Lorelai's had coffee mugs, a Bangles patch, a picture of her and Luke, a picture of her and Sookie and a picture of Luke, Will and Liz. Sookie's had chef hats, a picture of her and Jackson, a picture of Luke and Lorelai and a picture of her and the rest of the cooking staff at the Independence Inn. Liz had a picture of Jimmy (her current boyfriend and father of the baby inside of her), a picture of her and her mom, a picture of Luke, her dad and her standing next to their cabin, a picture of her and Crazy Carrie being stoned and a picture of her favorite band. Of course - Lorelai thought of this idea.
They walked downstairs to see singing a Christmas song as he was putting presents under the tree.
Lorelai tip-toed up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist and whispered in his ear, "I really like it when you sing."
He blushed and said, "Don't get used to it."
The doorbell rang and Liz jumped and said, "I got it!"
She opened the door and with annoyance since none of these guests were her own.
Jackson, Kevin, Kevin's girlfriend Lisa, Kirk, Andrew and Gypsy walked in with presents and smiles on their faces. Lorelai, Luke and Sookie greeted everyone and showed them to the food. Lorelai put on her Christmas cassett and began dancing around.
The doorbell rang again, this time it was Liz's friends. Crazy Carrie, two other girls (none of them knew their names but knew their faces and Jimmy. Everyone greeted each other. When Luke came out of the kitchen to put the ziti on the table, Carrie clung to him like she was a crazed fan meeting Bon Jovi for the first time.
"Hey Butch, point me to the nearest mistletoe." Carrie said seductlively as Luke shifted uncomfortably. Lorelai noticed this and walked over to the two.
"Hi Carrie, I see your keeping an eye on my Luke here." she gave her a half hearted smile and turned her attention to Luke, "C'mon honey. The food is getting cold and I wanted to talk to you about our Christmas arrangments." she pulled Luke from Carrie's grasp and walked him into the kitchen where Will and a couple of his friends were playing a game of poker and eating the food Luke made.
"Luke, I forgot to ask you - are you joining track again this year?"
"Uhh .. yeah .. I guess I am."
"Great! As long as we got good 'ol 'Butch' Danes, none of the other schools stand a chance!" Lorelai looked at Luke with a raised eyebrow and whispered - "Butch?"
"Uhh .. Yeah - umm .. Well we better get back out there and keep an eye on everyone." he said to his dad's friend and pulled Lorelai out with him. He told her he'd explain later.
Lorelai gave everyone a present from Luke, Liz and herself. She bought them all since her father gave her extra money knowing the party at the Danes house.
Every gift was a special gift for the person's personality. For example : Sookie got a spatcula and a picture of her and Jackson, Jackson got new gardening tools and a picture of him and Sookie and Gypsy was given new toolbox.
The night was full dancing, story tellings, roasting marshmellows in the fireplace and alot of singing.
Around 12 everyone headed home. They all thanked the 3 hosts for the great party and the wonderful gifts and left.
Liz went up to bed as Luke and Lorelai sat on the couch and put their feet on the coffee table. Lorelai was snuggled up against a restless Luke with her head on his chest and feet under her his legs
Luke was drawing soft circles on Lorelai's back as she was falling asleep.
He finally spoke with a whisper in her ear, "Let's get you to bed."
She mumbled back to him but all he heard was something about presents, Santa and a clown. He didn't want to find out the meaning of the three so pulled off Lorelai's boots. He laid down on the couch and pulled Lorelai on top of him, he pulled a cover over them and she got comfy. He pushe back her curls, kissed her head and said, "Goodnight Lorelai, I love you."
She shifted and whispered out, "Love you too, night."
He put his arm over her back and they both fell asleep to the music playing softly.
The next morning Lorelai woke up and found herself laying on top of Luke.
She watched him sleep peacefully. He was so innocent asleep. She loved watching him in the state he was in and would love to wake up to that everyday. But she couldn't tell him that now. They have only been together for about a half a year and she knew that if she told him that, it would just scare him away. They did spend mostly every waking moment together and she was surprised he wasn't tired of her by now. With her crazy antics and coffee obsession - usually a guy would run off by now.
Lost in her thoughts she didn't notice Luke move around and open his eyes to her. He pulled his arms around her back and began tracing his fingers along her spin. She felt him do this and she looked back at him. He smiled and they leaned in for a kiss. It was a sweet gentle kiss for lasted until they both needed air.
"Hi." Luke whispered.
"Hi." Lorelai put her chin on his chest and ran her fingers through his hair.
"What time is it?"
"I don't know. But it has to be before 5 because your dad isn't up yet."
"Why are you up this early?"
"Because I was cold since I wasn't sleeping on your bed in your arms under those heavy covers." she shivered as Luke began to warm her up by rubbing her arms with his hands.
She loved those hands, they were so strong and they always found the right spaces to end up - like her waist, her hair, her shoulders .. she always felt a spark of electricity when he touched her.
"Mmm .. I feel warmer now."
She snuggled up closer to his face and began placing kisses on his lips. They started to become more passionate and she let a moan escape from her mouth. His hands began to roam around her back and made his way under her shirt and circled his fingers along her back.
He wanted it to go further. But he knew she wanted to wait.
So he pulled his hands away. He took his lips off of hers and said, "Please don't do this to me."
She giggled and layed her head on his chest. He plopped his head back against the throw pillow and breathed out heavy.
She looked at him and said, "I know it's hard. But I just want the timming to be right. Please .. just wait for me."
He looked at her eyes and saw the sincerness, "Don't worry. I'll wait for you and put up with as much as you can dish out. And plus, I want to moment to be perfect too."
He placed a kiss on forehead and laid his head back down. She put her head back on his chest and they fell back asleep.
The next time they woke up was from the door opening, they looked up to see Luke's dad walking in with pressents in hand.
He looked at them and said, "Good morning. We've been wondering when you two would finally get up."
"Morning pops." Lorelai said to Will. This man was like a father to Lorelai so she decided to respect him and call him a fatherly name. She picked 'pops' because it sounded fun and bubbely like he was when she made jokes to him.
"Mia bought present for us four, so Luke - don't forget to go over there and bring her over the one we got."
"Kay." Luke mumbled as he began to rub his eyes.
Lorelai sat up and walked over to Will, kissed him on the cheek and said happy Christmas Eve. She then went upstairs to get her shower. She wrapped herself in a towel and put her hair in one too. She walked into Luke's room and began rummaging through her side of the closet to find her favorite jeans and her black lime green shirt. When she finally found it she went back to the bathroom and got changed. When she went back downstairs Luke was still sleeping so she decided to wake him up.
She sat on his stomach with her one leg on top of his chest and she ran her hands through his hair. She kissed his forehead and started to sing 'Rudolf the reindeer' into his ear.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm singing of course!" She sat up and pulled his arms up, "C'mon Butch! We gotta run to the Inn and give Mia that present. I know how well you run and everything .. so I thought we could get that done before we go over my house."
He sat up and looked at her confused, "How did you -"
"Sookie told me. She told me how great of an athlete you are .. oh I can not wait until I see you run in those little shorts with the sweat going down your face." she giggled and kissed him on the lips.
"Oh shutup." He kissed her back and got up. He walked upstairs and got in the shower.
Lorelai went in the kitchen to find Will reading the paper. She got out a mug from the cupboard and poured coffee in it. She sat down on the opposite side of the table Will was until she finally said, "So, Pops."
He put down his paper knowing that Lorelai wanted to talk to him, "So, Lorelai."
"You know how my parents .. they are .. ya know - not around alot? Well they can't be here tomorrow because they want to visit my aunt in London. So I was wondering .. would you mind if I stayed here for Christmas?"
"Of course, no problem doll. Your already one of the family. Plus - it might be nice having you here with Lucas on Christmas."
"Thank you so much pops!" She jumped up from the chair and gave him a big hug.
"We are going to have so much fun tomorrow!" she ran out of the kitchen and up stairs into Luke's room. She sat on his bed waiting for him to get out of the shower. He entered the room with only a towel covering him.
"Hey, why are you so happy?"
"Because .. I get to spend Christmas with you tomorrow!" she got up and kissed him on the lips.
"Okay, you get changed. We got lots of stuff to do today."
The rest of the day consisted of visiting the towns people and going over Lorelai's house to have their Christmas dinner. After saying goodbye to her parents, Luke and Lorelai went back to Stars Hollow.
When they got back to his house, they decided to make a fire and drink some coffee. (Well, coffee for her and tea for him)
They laid infront of the fire, side by side. Luke had his arm over her back.
Lorelai thought this time was perfect. She was ready, and knew Luke would be too.
She looked at Luke, he turned his head around to look at her too. She kissed him passionately on the lips. It became more dirty as the seconds past. She pulled away and said, "Luke, I'm ready now."
He looked at her, "Are you sure?"
"Yeah .. I'm positive."
Lorelai stood up and pulled Luke up with her. She kissed him on the lips again and she lead him up the stairs.
As they laid in each others arms trying to get their breathing back to a normal pace, Lorelai saw the time and whispered into Luke's ear.
"It's now officially December 25 .. Merry Christmas Luke."
"Merry Christmas Lorelai. I love you."
"I love you too."
They laid like this for a while - whispering to each other how much they cared about each other until they drifted off into sleep.
Okay .. I hope you guys liked it! Sorry it took me forever to write! I think I'm out of writers block! YAY!
