Well you guys made it to 20! I'm so proud of you!
Thank you to all of you who reviewed. I did make a mistake with the pop thing. Dang! I have to remember to say soda when I talk about pop. And just so you know, It wasn't "review blackmail" it was just a little fun challenge to get some people to review and in exchange, you get the story sooner. There is nothing wrong with that. (You know who I'm talking to. I won't name names.)

Chapter for- "She Likes You"
Luke put his arm around Lorelai's waist. She smiled and moved closer to him. She just felt so… safe. Like nothing could hurt her. She just wanted to stay like that forever. But all too soon, the reached Mia's house. She knew that he had to let go, but she still didn't want him to. They knocked on Mia's door, and Mia answered.
"Hey you're back! And you're soaking wet"
"Yeah the trucked stalled" Luke explained to her. "Could I use your phone to phone my dad?"
"Sure Lucas" Mia told him.
Luke followed Mia into the kitchen. Lorelai walked over and picked up her sleeping daughter.
"Hey did you miss me?" She asked her quietly. She put Rory in her car seat, and did up the buckle. (A/n lol! Buckle rhymes with chuckle!)
Luke came back into the room. "My dad said he'll pick us up and take you and Rory home. Then we'll try and fix the car"
"Ok"
"I-uh-I have to umm, go and check something" Mia said and left the room.
Luke moved closer to Lorelai. "I'm sorry about the truck" he apologized.
"Oh that's Ok." Lorelai told him. "It made the date so much more fun. And memorable"
"Yeah?" Luke asked, moving closer.
"Yeah" Lorelai told him, smiling and pulling him closer. He leaned in and kissed her. It was a soft, quick kiss, but it was meaningful beyond belief. Luke backed away. They smiled at each other, gazing into each others eyes.
A knock on the door interrupted them. "That's probably my dad" Luke groaned. He didn't want this to end.
"Hey Luke" William said. "So you broke the truck, did you?"
"It just stalled" Luke muttered.
"Here I'll give you a ride home" he said to Lorelai.
Lorelai and Luke followed William to the car. Lorelai put Rory in car and buckled her in.
"Is that your sister?" William asked casually. Lorelai looked at Luke with a "you didn't tell him?" expression.
Luke shrugged.
"Umm… actually" Lorelai started. "This is Rory. Rory is my, uh …my, my daughter"
"Oh William exclaimed in surprise.
HE looked at Luke. Luke gave him a "We'll talk about it later" look, and his father dropped it.
"She's-uh- very cute" William said, not really knowing what you're supposed to say when you find out your son is dating a mom.
They drove home in silence. Luke walked Lorelai to the door, carrying Rory for her.
"Well, goodnight" Lorelai told him, talking Rory from him and unlocking the door.
"Goodnight" Luke said, kissing her. It was a deep passionate kiss that left them both breathless. They stood there for a moment in a comfortable silence.
"Well I better go" Luke said breaking the silence. "My dad is waiting"
"Right, right. You better. Bye" Lorelai said.
"Bye"
Rory woke up, and stared up at her mother. After Lorelai was sure she heard Luke's car leave she asked "What do you think Rory, is he a keeper?" Rory smiled "I think so too"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The next day, Sunday, Luke stopped by the Inn around noon. He knocked on the door to the potting shed.
"Hello" Lorelai answered the door. She had a screaming Rory in one arm and a cold bottle in the other.
"Oh sorry to interrupt you. You left this in the truck, last night and I thought you might need it." Luke said, handing her her purse.
"Oh thanks. So that's where I left it. Do you umm, want to come in?"
"Ok"
"Can you hold her for a second please" Lorelai asked holding Rory out to him.
"Well-I-Uh- I'm not really a baby person. I mean, I don't not like them, but I haven't really been near very many. Well my little sister Liz, and her kid Jess. But I was just young when Liz was born and Liz left right after she had Jess so..."
"Luke, could you please just hold her for a second" Lorelai asked, laughing, interrupting his rant.
"Well, I guess." Lorelai handed him Rory and he took her. Rory instantly stopped crying and she snuggled in close to him.
"Awwwwww. She likes you Luke" Lorelai told him. Luke just smiled.
