So I didn't get near as many reviews this time and I'm not sure if you guys just didn't like it or if you just decided not to review, but I a little disappointed in you guys. I'm sorry it took me so long to update this time, but I had a French assignment due that I think I failed, and I decided that it'd be fun to write a letter to everyone in Gilmore Girls. I know, I know, I'm insane and have no life. But a while ago I sent a letter to Lauren Graham and received an autographed picture back! So I sent a letter to 17 different people. And let me tell you, it cost 85 cents per stamp and that really added up. Luckily, my mom bought them for me. I am way too obsessed! I wonder if anyone will write back… I shouldn't get my hopes up.
To those who reviewed:
GilmoreGirlsFreakazoid- Yeah, I thought it'd be fun to have baby Rory like Luke. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reviewing!
LittleGGLover- yep you're right, the pop thing is from "Kiss and Tell" you're smart! And I'm glad you have a life, but if you read my note at the beginning, you can probably tell that I don't, but I'm very proud of you for being able to keep your life. But I can't believe that you don't all ready have the 4th season! I bought it the day it came out! And I got every question right on the trivia! The 5th season is coming out on the 13 of December! I can't wait! And sure, I'll count your review as two!
nicole- glad you like it! I can't wait until Tuesday's episode either!
Brandy- ok let's agree to disagree. And thanks for the William thing. The one about Lorelai, I didn't think of that before.
Mr.Tre Cool- Glad you like it! You had the William idea to!
Marcel-Marceau-chicken- Thanks for reviewing! Glad you like it.

Chapter 5- Sick of Being Sick
"So Luke" William said when they got home.
"So dad"
"We need to talk"
"About what?" Luke asked, knowing exactly what his father wanted to talk about.
"You know what" William said "Your girlfriend"
"What about her, dad"
"Luke! She has a kid!" William said getting a little angry.
"Oh that" Luke said. "Dad, why is it such a big deal? So she made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. And she's so nice and so beautiful…" Luke trailed off.
"You don't know what kind of person she is, Luke! What if she's one of those people who sleep around and that's why she's pregnant?" William asked "You just don't know Luke! And I don't want you getting involved with someone like that!"
"Dad! You hardly even know her!" Luke yelled "you're judging her before you even get to know her! She isn't like that dad! If she was, do you think that she would come here and get a job and try to make a life for herself and her baby, who she loves! She ran away from home to protect her daughter! If she was a slut like you think, do you think she would do that? Huh?"
"Whoa. She ran away from home to protect Rory?"
"Yes"
"Maybe I did judge her before I got to know her. I guess she doesn't sound that bad."
"Thank you"
"Your welcome"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next few weeks, Lorelai and Luke dated pretty regularly. Luke helped Lorelai look after Rory after school, and he loved it. He loved that little girl, and Rory loved him too. They dated on the weekends when Lorelai didn't have to work. Near the beginning to November, it started to get really cold, no snow, but really cold. It was especially cold in the potting shed. One day Lorelai woke up feeling terrible. She felt so sick. She stayed in bed all morning, and was Saturday, so she was supposed to be working. Around noon, Mia started to worry, and went to check on her.
"Hey Lorelai, it's already lunchtime. Why aren't you at work" She asked.
"I'm sorry Mia. I must have slept in. I don't feel so great"
"Sweetie, you look terrible" Mia went over and felt her forehead "Oh my! You're burning up" She went to the crib and picked up Rory, who had woken up and needed to be changed. "My God! It sure is cold in here!
"Mmmh hmm" Lorelai said, snuggling deeper in to the blankets.
"Ok, I'm gonna get you a Tylenol and a cold cloth. I'll be right back.
Mia took Rory and went back to the Inn. She asked the girl at the front desk to keep and eye on Rory, and got some chicken noodle soup, coffee, a Tylenol and a cold cloth. (A/n don't ask me how she carried this all, she is a very talented women!)
She went back to the potting shed and gave Lorelai the stuff. She took the Tylenol, ate her soup, drank her coffee and went back to sleep
Mia grabbed Rory's diaper bag and went back to the Inn.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Lorelai stirred slightly in her sleep at the sound of someone knocking at the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
She opened her eyes "God! Go away I'm trying to sleep" "Who is it?" She called.
"It's Luke, can I come in?"
She panicked. "I just woke up! I'm in my pyjamas, my hair is a mess! I'm sick and probably look terrible!" "Umm…Well…" Lorelai said "I guess so. Come on in!"
Luke walked in, carrying a bouquet of flowers. "Umm… I heard that you were sick, and I-uh-I brought you these" Luke said shyly, handing the flowers to Lorelai.
"Oh Luke. They're beautiful" Lorelai told him "thank you"
"Do you want me to… uh…put them in water for you?"
"Yeah. Sure. You could put them in that glass there." Lorelai told him pointing to a large glass on the table.
"Ok' Luke said and went to fill the glass with water from the sink. "So you're not feeling good"
"No. I've got a cold and a bit of a fever."
"You know, when I was a kid, I used to get fevers quite a bit. My mom used to tell me that a fever goes away quicker if you sleep. But, I had trouble sleeping when I was sick. So my mom used to sit up with me, and we'd tell a story together. We'd just make it up as we went along. I'd tell a part, and then she'd tell a part. We used to end up laughing so hard, we could hardly breathe. Then, we'd wake up my dad, and he'd get mad. But that just made us laugh harder, and in the end we would all be laughing. "Luke said, a dazed look coming over his face. "Yep. We sure did have fun."
Lorelai, who had been listening to the story with much interest, smiled and said "That does sound like fun."
Luke looked embarrassed "Oh! I forgot that you were there! I don't usually tell people stuff like that"
"Well I consider myself lucky" Lorelai said with a grin "your mom sounds like a very nice person"
"Was a nice person" Luke said quietly.
"What?" Lorelai asked gently.
"My mom passed away when I was young. It's just me and my dad now. My little sister, Liz, she's a year younger than me, she had a kid, Jess, and then she left us."
"Oh, Luke" Lorelai said sympathetically. "I'm so sorry"
"Don't be. It's not your fault." Luke told her.
An awkward silence settled over the two.
All of a sudden, Mia ran into the room. "Lorelai. Rory needs- Oh Hi Lucas" she said noticing Luke standing there.
"Hi Mia"
"Mia what's wrong?" Lorelai asked her.
"I think Rory needs to be fed" Mia told her handing her the little baby girl.
'Oh come here sweetie. Are you hungry?"
"Mia smiled at the two and left.
Lorelai put a blanket over her and started to feed Rory.
Luke looked very uncomfortable. "I-uh-I think I'm going to go" he said, putting the flowers in the glass and setting them on the table.
"No, Luke. Please stay." Lorelai pleaded "She's almost done, and then we can talk some more."
"Well…ok" Luke said. He didn't really want to go; he just didn't want to see this.
Lorelai burped Rory and noticed that she needed her diaper change.
"Luke Could you pass me her diaper bag please?" Lorelai asked. Luke passed per the bag and Lorelai changed Rory's diaper. "Now you need a nap, don't you?" Lorelai said, talking to Rory.
Lorelai started to get out of bed, when Luke said "Here let me do it for you" He took the baby from Lorelai and gently set her into her crib.
"She'll probably want her stuffed dog" Lorelai told Luke. digging it out of the diaper bag and handing it to Luke.
Luke put the dog next to Rory who was already asleep. "Sweet dreams Rory" He said and sat down on the bed, beside Lorelai.
"So where did she get that"
"Her dog? Well…"
Flash back
"Lorelai this is Rory's first Christmas and I want to get her all of these presents!" Emily screamed.
"MOM! She doesn't need any of this shit!" Lorelai screamed back.
"Watch your mouth young lady!"
"Mom! She's only 2 and ½ months old!"
"So? She'll use them when she's older!" Emily reasoned.
"Then you can buy them for her when she's older!"
"I'm not going to argue about this anymore!" Emily yelled. And walked out of the room.
"AGGGGG!" Lorelai yelled. She heard Rory crying and went to get to her before the maids did. Emily had told them to take care of Rory.
"Shh, shh. It's ok" Lorelai said soothingly, gently rocking the baby back and forth. She spotted a box on her shelf marked "My Savings" and a smile crossed her face. She saved every penny that she didn't get from her mother and it was all in there. Sometimes she worked an odd job, or 2 to get money for herself. She hated having her mother buy everything for her. Emily hated it when she worked. She opened it. Not much in there, only $5. She had spent most of it on clothes and stuff for Rory already. She went to the store and picked out the perfect Christmas present for Rory. She wanted the baby to have at least one good Christmas present that year.
End of Flashback
"So I picked the dog, and Rory loved it. It was something that I bought her with my own money. Her only real Christmas present."
"Wow" Luke said after Lorelai had finished her story. "I can understand why it's special"
"Yeah but why Rory likes it, I'll never really know."
Luke smiled "Oh my God!" he yelled after looking at his watch. "Look at the time! I promised my dad I would help close up! He's gonna kill me! I'm sorry Lorelai I have to go"
"Bye Luke! Thanks for coming"
He kissed her quickly on the cheek "Bye" and he ran home
