Lorelai's POV-
I was, for the second time today, scrambling around my house, to find my clothes. The really cute, comfy pajamas that Rory bought me for Christmas last year. They had adorable little penguins on them.
"Argh!" I yelled and threw the stuff out from under my bed. "Where are you my little penguins? Answer me or I'll feed you to the polar bears. And they, my friends are much meaner then your old friend Lorelai." My polar bear rant was interrupted by a knocking at the door. I freaked. 'Is Luke early?'
"Whoa. What are you doing here?" I asked Rory when I opened the door.
"Um, making sure everything went well. Did you even go? You look like a mess."
"Yes. I went. And how did you know I didn't drag Luke back here and take advantage of him?"
"Ew, mom. Gross." She pushed past me and went into the living room.
" Well, it's the truth. Not entirely but things went well. Luke's coming over at five and I need to get movies and junk food and find the penguin pajamas. And you're right I'm a mess. Help."
"Sure mom. Uh, you go and get the junk and movies and I'll look for the penguins."
"Great. I knew there was a reason I loved you."
"Yes, I rock. Now go."
"Gone." I took off out the door and ran to the movie store. I knew exactly what I was looking for. I grabbed 'From Justin to Kelly', 'Spice World', and 'Mr. Nanny'.
"Will this be all?" Kirk asked.
"Of course."
"Do you have your card?"
"Of course I do Kirk." I handed him the card and he rang me out.
"$12.50." he handed me the receipt and I handed him the money. Next was Doose's. I grabbed the classic movie night junk and Dean rang me out.
"How ya doing Lorelai?" he asked.
"Fine Dean and yourself?"
"Well, Lindsay and I are back together. She's pregnant. I'm gonna be a daddy. I'm so excited."
"Well, congratulations. I'll be able to shop for a li'l one again." I tried to be nice but he was after all the guy who broke Rory's heart. Again.
"Thanks. Here ya go."
I handed Dean the money and left with bags of groceries. Thank god Rory had more sense then to stay with him. I wasn't entirely comfortable with Logan yet but he was better then a married man. I didn't even wanna imagine Rory having a baby yet. When I returned home I found Rory on the couch with my penguin pajamas.
"You are a saint."
"Saint Rory, at your service." She smiled and handed over the penguins.
"I'm gonna use your room. Be right back." I slipped into the pj's in Rory's room.
"Looking good mom."
"Now why are you here?" I asked and grabbed the snacks, taking them to the kitchen.
"Well, Logan suggested that since he'll be away from a few days my time would be wasted at Yale without him around."
"The ego!" I shouted as I put the snacks into various bowls.
"Plus, he seemed kinda worried about you. I didn't tell him what happened but he knew you must have been in bad shape for me to wanna take a bus all the way to Stars Hollow."
"Sweet guy. That's a plus."
"I've noted it. I have something to tell you." She got serious all of a sudden.
" I have a feeling this should be a conversation we have while sitting down." I took a seat
"Yeah, maybe. Mom, I love Logan. And I told him this morning. I don't think that my fear of commitment came from you. Just the lack of guys who were good enough."
"Okay, well I'm glad. What the hell is that on your finger?" I yelled and stood up.
"Mom sit." I took a deep breath, as did she and she explained. "Logan gave me this to me this morning. We're not engaged. He told me as long as I promise not to toss him out when he makes a mistake, he wants to stick around. It's just a promise of the future."
"An expensive promise. But it's pretty."
"I know. I love it." I saw my daughter for the first time, not as my daughter but as an amazing girl who was in love.
"So, I have something to tell you also. Dean and Lindsay are gonna have a baby."
"Aw, that's so cute. Do you think they'll name her Lorelai?" she laughed.
"Oh, I didn't know how you'd take it. With everything."
"I'm fine mom. I'm so happy for them. If they can make it through all the crap we've caused then they deserve to be happy."
"You really are a saint kid."
"I know. What time is Luke supposed to be here?"
"Five. I don't mean to kick you out, kiddo. You're welcome to stay and watch movies with us."
"Nah, I think I'll see what Lane's up too. But thanks."
"Anytime."
"I should call her and make sure I'm not stepping on her plans or anything."
"Yeah, Lane gets a courtesy call but not me. Gee, so you don't care if I have plans." I joked
"I do live here mom. So, no I don't care." She went into her bedroom and I arranged all the bowls on the coffee table perfectly.
Basically just a filler chapter. A prologue to tonight. Hope you enjoyed it. rr
