Okay we can talk about me and believe me we will for years, but now here's the next chapter.
A Different Kind Of Family I want to go to Hot Topic."Okay, so, where is all of your stuff?" Luke asked.
"We don't have anything." Maria said.
"Why not?" Lorelai asked.
"We didn't have time to grab anything from the house, and we don't have keys." Matthew tells them.
"Oh. Well, we can go shopping for some new things then. Does that sound good?" Lorelai says excitedly.
"Okay." Maria says.
"Sure." Matthew replies.
"Great! So, you want to go to Crabtree Valley Mall then?" Lorelai asked.
"Okay." Matthew says.
"Can't we go to Southpoint?" Maria asks. "I want to go to Hot Topic." She tells them. Matthew rolls her eyes.
Lorelai looks at Luke and he nods he responds. "Sure that's fine."
"Good." Maria said smugly looking at Matthew.
At The Mall
"So…" Luke says as they enter the mall.
"Where to first?" Lorelai asked.
"Let's get the clothes first." Luke says.
"Okay. Good Idea. What stores do you want to go in?" Lorelai asks.
"American Eagle, Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch, Banana Republic." Matthew says.
Maria has a look of disgust on her face. "I want to go to Hot Topic, Spencer's, and Journey's." She tells them.
"Okay. Lorelai how about you go with Maria, and I'll go with Matthew." Luke suggests.
"Okay. Is that alright with you?" Lorelai asks Maria.
"Sure." Maria answers.
"Well, lead the way." Lorelai says.
Two hours later, the twins had pretty much replaced their wardrobes, so the four met for lunch in the food court.
"What do you guys want to eat?" Luke asks.
"I want a salad." Maria says.
Luke looks over at her a little shocked but with a proud expression on his face.
Lorelai smiles. "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm heading for the Chinese food." Lorelai tells them. "Anyone else want to join me?"
"I will." Matthew says.
"Good, come on." She asks.
"What about you Luke?" Matthew asks.
"Oh, I think I'm gonna get a salad too." He tells him.
"Okay." Matthew says walking away with Lorelai.
Later in the Car
"Come on Luke please!" Lorelai pleaded.
"Lorelai, it is stressful enough having to drive in the rain, without having to listen to AC/DC too." Luke says. Maria watches, amused.
"You suck." Lorelai says then sticks her tongue out.
They continue on riding for a while, then they hear a strange noise.
"What was that?" Lorelai asks worried.
"I don't know." Luke says. They hear it again.
"It sounds like the transmission." Matthew says.
Soon the car started to slow, and Luke pulled over to the side of the road. He got out and looked under the hood. He shook his head and closed it. Then he got back in the car.
"What's wrong with it?" Lorelai asked.
"It's gone." Luke tells her. "I told you to take better care of your car." Luke told her annoyed.
"Oops." Lorelai said embarrassed. "So, what do we do now?" Lorelai asked.
"We need to call a tow truck and a cab. Then I guess we'll go to the airport." Luke tells them. He gets out his cell phone and makes a few calls then gets out of the car.
Lorelai gets out of the car too and walks over to him. "Hey, are you okay?" She asks. When he doesn't answer her she adds, "Are you mad at me? I'm really sorry about the car. You know that we're going to have to get a new one anyway when the baby comes." She tells him putting her arm around him.
"Oh no. We didn't tell them about the baby." Luke says looking worried.
"Oh you're right we didn't." She replies.
"Well, I guess we should tell them once we get settled at home." Luke says with a sigh.
"Yeah I think that's best." Lorelai tells him. As Lorelai hugs him, the tow truck pulls up.
"We're from east coast towing. Is this the car?" The attendant asks.
"Yeah." Luke says.
"Alright we'll tow it, and wait with you until your ride gets here, okay?" He says.
"Thank you so much." Lorelai tells him.
"No problem lady, just doing my job." He tells her and then proceeds to tow the Jeep.
About twenty minutes later a taxicab pulled up and they all loaded up inside. Lorelai, Maria and Matthew sat in the back and Luke sat in the front. "Hey, Luke we need to get luggage. We can't take all of this stuff as carry-on. You can only have one carry-on bag per person." Lorelai says.
"Oh yeah. We'll get a suitcase at the airport." Luke says.
On the plane to Hartford
Luke and Lorelai are sitting behind Matthew and Maria. Luke and Matthew are in the aisle seats. Luke and Maria are obviously scared. Luke is gripping Lorelai's hand.
"Are you okay?" Lorelai asks trying to hide a smirk, but failing.
Luke glares at her, "I'm not very big on flying." Luke says.
"It's gonna be okay." She tells him soothingly.
"I personally don't see why so many people want to fly in an airplane. It doesn't seem like it is safe, I mean it's just floating there waiting to fall. And I know people say, 'people get in car crashes everyday but they still get in cars so why don't people want to get on planes?' You have a better chance surviving a car crash, if you're in a plane crash then you're basically dead." Luke ranted.
"Okay um Luke, I don't think you helped yourself or anyone else on the plane with your ranting. I think you might have just mad e it a little worse. Because now everyone looks a little scared." Lorelai told him quietly.
Luke glances around the plane and sees the scared face looking at him. "Oh." He says then looks down. "I'm not going to be able to do this." Luke said.
"What are you talking about?" Lorelai asks.
"I can't be a father. I don't know what I'm doing. I just scared about fifteen people." Luke said sadly.
"Well, you'll be a kick at Halloween." Lorelai told him jokingly.
"I can't comfort people or anything, I just make it worse." Luke says.
"Oh Luke." Lorelai says squeezing his hand. "You are great at comforting. Remember my 'meltdown at the park'? You comforted me. And also, when my father was in the hospital, and when we were in a fight and I was crying because Christopher and I weren't together. You have gone above and beyond the call in comforting me. You're going to be a great dad. I can tell. You know how?" She says.
Luke shakes his head.
"You've been doing it for Rory for years. You've been more of a father to her then Christopher will ever be. Besides, I think it's a little late for you not to be a father. You've already got three kids and one on the way." She tells him in a hushed tone.
Luke smiled at her. "Thank you."
Lorelai gave him a kiss. "Your welcome."
"I love you." He tells her.
"I love you too."
TBCOkay this is a filler chapter obviously. I had to set up the twins' personalities and also that they hadn't told them about the baby, and they got rid of the jeep. I love the Jeep and that was unlikely what happened to it but I don't care. I decided that I wanted them to get on the plane because I though it would be a little funnier. Also I know it was a little sappy at the end there, but if you have a problem with it you can kiss my big white ass!
This is my favorite story that I'm writing right now, so if I get good reviews I will update very soon. Thanks!
