AN: Stupid little nitpick: I said Straub Haden died in Dec. '05, but it was Dec. '04. Also, I've been spelling Haden wrong this whole time. My friend spells it "Hayden" but I read the little booklet, and it said "Christopher Haden" so I'm going to go with that from now on. Don't be confused.

Lorelai looked at her watch again. "Where are they?" She asked for the umpteenth time. "They only left five minutes after us, at most."
"Dean's a careful driver." Luke said, not looking up.
"Okay, so they should have gotten here fifteen minutes after us, tops."
"Unless they decided to stop at some seedy motel to celebrate Rory's eighteenth birthday." Topher offered. Lorelai and Luke both glared at him.
"Where did you learn to think like that?" Lorelai asked.
"Fourteen years of living with you and Dad. I'm surprised you haven't already thought of that."
"I didn't think of that, because I do not want to think about my daughter getting it on in a seedy motel room. Or anywhere for that matter."
"Well, you should at least consider the possibility."
"Stop it! I'm getting mental images! Stop!" She cried, dramatically covering her ears and closing her eyes.
"Something wrong, Mom?" Rory called as a tinkling of bells announced their arrival.
"Rory! You're here!" She jumped up and ran to hug her daughter.
"Dean, your shirt's on inside out." Luke called.
