HI! I would have posted this chapter yesterday, but I couldn´t log-in, then I couldn´t see my reviews. Now I can see them, but I get no more alerts, not for the reviews, not for the stories, not for the authors. I hope they will fix this very soon!

I hope this here will work now.

Chapter 9: Calls and kicks

"Danes" Luke answered the phone on Saturday around noon.

"Hey, uhm, it's me" Lorelai stuttered a bit.

"Oh hi!" Luke answered.

"I just wanted to know if everything is all right" she said after a moment of silence.

"Yeah, sure"

"Good...good. Uhm, where are the kids?"

"Sara and Laila are asleep and Will is standing here next to me, tugging on my trousers"

"Why are they asleep? Are they still asleep or asleep again?" she asked confused.

"Asleep again. They didn't get much sleep last night."

"Why? Is something wrong? Had Will an accident again or are the twins sick?" she asked and sounded panicked.

"No, calm down. Everything is all right. They just wanted to get dressed by you and then they wanted a goodnight kiss from you, which was not possible, what caused them to cry, what caused me to take them with me to our bedroom, where William joined us and they fell asleep. That was half an hour past midnight"

"Now I ´m feeling guilty. But I didn't get much sleep last night either."

"Why? Are the beds that uncomfortable? I thought it was a hotel to relax, to be re-born afterwards..." he started ranting.

"No, they are very comfortable. I just miss the kids and y... Can you hand Will the phone?"

"Yeah, sure! Here Will, mummy wants to talk to you!" Luke said with a smile and handed William the phone.

"Mummy? When are you coming back?" William asked immediately.

"Tomorrow, sweetie. Are you okay? Is everything all right?" she asked him, knowing that Will would tell her everything Luke didn't.

"Yes. Daddy made chocolate-pudding, because Sara and Laila wanted it and I eated a cheese sandwich. Daddy wasn't hungry. Then we played with Fred and painted. And Sara wanted to paint the wall in the bathroom. And we watched a movie and Sara kicked Daddy every time he wanted to change her. And Laila cut her doll's hair. And I miss you, mummy!" William finished his report.

"I miss you, too baby!"

"I'm not a baby. I don't need a diafer anymore."

"Diaper, Will, the word is diaper. And I know you are a big boy. Behave when your daddy is alone with the three of you, okay?"

"Okay. I couldn't sleep last night. And daddy leted me sleep in your bed. But daddy is very tired because he couldn't sleep. He was awake all night."

"Your poor daddy. I will be back tomorrow, honey. Just one more time sleeping and I'm back. Will you give me your daddy one more time? Bye William!"

"Bye Mummy!" William said and handed Luke the phone again.

"Sounds like you're having an eventful time! I hope the house is still standing when I will be back!" Lorelai mocked Luke.

"Well, standing yes. For the rest I can't guarantee anything." Luke smiled.

"See you tomorrow Luke! And give both Sara and Laila a kiss from me!"

" I will! And Lorelai?"

"Yeah?"

" I miss you, too! And have a nice time!" Luke said.

"Thank you, hon´! See you tomorrow!" she smiled. He knew her too well. He could finish her sentences even over the phone.

"See you then!" he said and hung up.

"And, are you feeling better now?" Rory asked Lorelai after she hung up.

"He misses me!" she screeched and hugged Rory.

"Uhhhh, he misses you! How sweet! See, you are so perfect for each other!" Sookie joined the hug.

"Well, what's going on here?" Emily asked when she had reached the three in the lobby.

"Dad misses mum" Rory answered.

"Well of course he does. He loves you! And now let's visit this steam bath we were talking about!" Emily stated and walked towards the pool area. Again Lorelai just stared stunned at her mother, before she slowly followed her with Sookie and Rory.

"Daddy, Laila don't give me my book!" William yelled when he ran into the kitchen.

"And why doesn't she give you the book?" Luke asked while he continued to repair the toaster from the diner.

"She wants to read it. But she can't read, daddy!"

"And why do you want that book now?" he asked his son.

"It's mine!" William just said.

"When you don't need it at the moment, then leave your sister alone with that book. She will give it back to you when she is done." For Luke the case was closed when William stomped out of the kitchen and back into the living-room. But just seconds later he first heard Laila's cries, then William's yelling and in the end some strange noises while Sara screamed. He ran into the living room and found William on top of his sister, trying to get the book from her, while she ripped out page after page and hit and kicked him, and he kicked back.

Laila was sitting next to them holding her head and cried.

"Hey, stop that!" Luke said and took William off Sara and sat him on the couch. Sara proceeded ripping out the pages and Luke took the book out of her hands. But she wanted to keep the book and started to kick and hit Luke who tried to get her off the floor. William jumped off the couch and picked up book from the floor. Laila, who was still crying, leaned over and bit him, what caused him to scream and then to cry , while Luke was still trying to get Sara off the floor. For a second Luke just wanted to walk out of the room. Then he stood up straight and needed a second to take the whole scene in. The screaming and crying sounds caused a headache within seconds and he just couldn't stand it any longer.

"Stop it right now!" he yelled. All three kids looked at him with a shocked expression and it got silent in the room, only sniffling could be heard.

"William get away from your sister and sit on the couch! Have you lost your mind? And you, why are you biting your brother? Did your mother or me ever bit you? Sara you get off that damn floor and stop kicking and hitting me! I never did that to you, but I swear, if you are kicking me one more time I will slap you right back!" he yelled. He took a deep breath, then kneeled down beside Laila and picked her up, took a Kleenex from the box on the table, let her blow her nose and wiped her tears away. Then he did the same with Sara and William. He sat them all down on the couch and sat down on the table.

"What happened here?" he asked.

"Will hit me. I falled and my head is auw" Laila started.

"Will, why did you hit your sister?"

"I wanted to read my book. And she did not want to give me the book." he said.

"William, that's no reason to hit your sister. Neither of them"

"But Sara hit me first and then destroyed my book" William sobbed.

"Sara why did you do that?"

"Will hitted Laila!" Sara said with a stubborn expression on her face.

"Ok, now for all. You don't hit or bite your siblings and you will not destroy their property. Is that clear?" They all just stared at him. Neither of them reacted.

"Ok, we do this differently. You will all go upstairs to your room. I don't want to hear any sound coming from your rooms. Upstairs! Now!" he said and stood up.

"No, daddy!" Laila started crying.

"Now!" he said again and looked at William. William stood up, ran up the stairs and slammed the door shut.

"You stay here!" Luke said to Laila and picked up Sara, who, of course, started kicking, screaming and slapping again. He had trouble holding her and just placed her in her bed when he had arrived upstairs. He walked back downstairs, picked up Laila from the couch and walked into the bathroom with her and inspected her head. He saw a small bump and placed a cold washcloth on it before he walked upstairs with her and also placed her in her bed. She started crying again, while Sara jumped up and down in the bed, trying to get rid of the lattice. She was screaming very shrill and Luke thought his head was going to explode any second.

He had no idea what to do and just walked outside and closed the door. He felt exhausted. Then he heard a loud noise coming from Williams room. He rushed over to his room and opened the door.

The room was a mess. William had thrown all of his clothes and toys out of his closets. Everything was lying on the floor and the furious boy stood in the middle of it and threw everything he could reach towards the door. What Luke had heard was a big toy-car crashing against the door. The car was broken and there was another hole in the door now.

And while Luke was standing in the doorway, William just kept throwing things, now hitting Luke's legs. He walked over to his son and leaned down to grab his hands, when William just threw a book, which hit Luke right in the face.

This second Luke lost it. Luke grabbed William and slapped him one time on his bum.

Luke was so shocked at himself that he just let go of the furious kicking William and walked out of the room.

He walked over to his bedroom and plopped down on the bed. He ran his hands over his face and then stared at them in disbelieve. He couldn't believe that he had just slapped his son. He buried his head in his hands and groaned. William sure hated him now. Lorelai would hate him. He hated himself.

Lorelai, he needed to call her. Better he would tell her now rather than later. He walked over to the night-stand, picked up his cell-phone and hit speed-dial one.
