Ok so there will be a bit of a lighter mood in this one and it should straighten some things out when it comes down to Skye, Lorelai and Luke. Hope you like it, and please keep the great reviews coming and thank you so much for the reviews.

Part 9 'Puppies and Pies'"She's here!" Luke came in through the front door with bags of food from Luke's and Doose's
"What?" Luke knew what Lorelai had said but he also knew she was so happy that she was going to need to tell him every little thing in detail. So leaving her an open space to do that was his best idea.
"My Rory, she's back and she's here" The large grin was still slapped across Lorelai's face. "She met me and we went to see my mother but instead we saw Libby and then these people. We had no idea who they were and Roy was upset. Then we talked and I saw my parents again and the man said that she had been screaming and they took her away and brought her here." Lorelai stopped to breath and Luke sat down at the kitchen table.
"Wow, you've done a lot today, any idea where Skye is?" Luke tried to concentrate on Roy but he had to know where Skye was before he could join Lorelai's party.
"Oh yeah, she called, she's at Babette's with the cats, how she got roped into that I don't know but she sounded happy, so I thought I'd leave her there." Lorelai smiled again and Luke looked satisfied
"So then, is she in her room?" Luke knew Lorelai was so excited and would probably of forced Rory in the dust covered room he knew laid behind that forever-closed door.
"Yeah, first time in 4 years" Lorelai couldn't even begin to explain the feelings that were rushing inside her, through her bones and through her mind.
"So then slower version of events please?" Luke now moved on and genuinely wanted to know about today's events.
"Well, I'll skip the crap and cut straight to the point, Rory's baby, Libby has been taken away from Rory apartment while her dad, Rory's boyfriend was taking care of her because someone reported screaming and crying. So she's been put in foster care and the carers just so happen to rent my parent's house. The baby is covered in bruises and she looks so weak and pale, so does Rory, they both look so ill, I just want to pick her up and take care of her." Lorelai was getting quite emotional, she couldn't quiet believe what was going on here.
"What, that guys been hurting Rory, why didn't she call, we would of helped!" Luke came back in full father mode; he had always had this incredible force of need to help Rory whenever she was in trouble.
"I know, I told her that, but I think she's scared of him" Lorelai looked at Luke as she spoke carefully.
"Well, what are we gonna do, I mean we have to help her, right? Luke knew that Lorelai needed to help her he just wasn't sure if she would.
"Yeah of course we're gonna help her, I've been sat here for the past 2 hours planning what to do. And here's what I've come up with, ok so we call social services; we sort out getting Libby back. Then we get Rory out of that apartment and get her things together. Then she stays here for a little bit, a week or two, until they're both healthy again and until we can find her an apartment and, well she can keep her job because she works from home. That is if she wants this" Lorelai spoke as if she were a military officer with a big style plan.
"That's the best plan I've heard in ages" Luke just looked at Lorelai and then he realised he loved Lorelai more right now than he ever had before.
"Ok, so lets get it into action by getting Rory up and getting her to eat some food, she looks like she hasn't eaten in a year!" Lorelai started to arrange the food as Skye came running in holding her puppy that Logan had given her, Edgar.
"Lorelai, can I take Edgar out for a walk?" Skye looked sweetly at Lorelai
"Later sweetie, we have a visitor for dinner." Lorelai smiled at Skye who was holding Edgar right in front of her face. "Put the dog down and wash your hands ready to eat, Luke could you set the table."
"Nice to know you still eat the same way." Rory crept out of her room quietly and made everyone jump.
"Hey baby, sit down you look exhausted still." Lorelai signalled for Rory to sit down and pulled out a chair for her. Rory sat down and Lorelai indicated Skye to Rory "Rory this is Skye, Skye this is Rory, your um, well my up, this is Rory" Lorelai wasn't sure what to call Rory to Skye and you could tell Rory was thinking the same thing, so for now she would just be Rory.
"Hey Rory, this is my Puppy, his names Edgar, my daddy bought him for me." Skye showed Rory Edgar
Look at me now
Where am I?
I passed you along time ago
But I forgot to say goodbye
"Skye, you just washed your hands, put the puppy down and do it again" Skye walked off to the sink. It then occurred to Lorelai that Skye could not remember one thing about Rory being here that Night Logan brought Edgar for Skye, she had no idea who Rory was.
"Mmmm, Luke's pies, now this I've missed" Lorelai stood at the sink looking at her family, this was it, they were back, everything she needed was right there in that room. She watched as Luke passed Rory pie and Skye slipped pieces of cheeseburger to the floor for Edgar, they were all chatting together like a family should. Lorelai had her Luke; she had her Skye she had her Rory and most of all she had her cheeseburger, now nothing, not anything was going to stand in her way.
