Next chapter again pretty fast. I hope you like it. It´s the second part of Luke´s birthday
Chapter 21: I wanted to be the first!
"Honey, wake up! It´s your birthday!" Lorelai whispered into Luke´s ear and shook him lightly.
"Let me sleep!" he mumbled.
"But Luke! Your birthday!" she said and started to kiss him. First on the lips, then on his cheek, down his jaw line and back up to his mouth. When he responded she grinned and pulled away.
"Finally! This always works to wake you up!" She gave him another kiss.
"Happy birthday!" she said and pulled away.
"You woke me up at" he turned over to take a look at the clock, " two o´clock in the morning to congratulate me. You could have done this in the morning!" he said sleepily.
"But I wanted to be the first! And in the morning the kids will be around and after our little talk yesterday I´m sure you don´t want them to see this!" she grinned and pulled the cover back. To Luke´s surprise she wasn´t wearing his, or her, flannel-shirt anymore, but a black negligee.
"You´re right. Maybe this wasn´t such a bad idea after all!" he grinned and pulled her towards him.
"Happy birthday daddy!" William yelled when he jumped into the bed a few hours later, his sisters following him.
"Birday daddy!"
"Birsday! Birsday" Sara and Laila joined him. Sara climbed onto the bed and on top of Luke.
"Birsday daddy!" she yelled and giggled while she bounced up and down on his stomach.
"Urgh, god Sara! Are you trying to kill me?" Luke mumbled still half asleep and pulled her down, that she was lying on top of him.
"Birsday daddy!" she said again.
"Thank you, baby" he smiled and she gave him a kiss. Lorelai was now also awake and smiled.
"Daddyyy!" Laila whined, while she stood next to Luke and held her hands up for him to pick her up. He first lay Sara down on top of Lorelai, then picked up Laila, sat up and sat her down in his lap.
"Happy birday!" she smiled shyly and then hid her face in his shoulder.
"Thank you, my princess! You slept well?" he asked and placed a kiss on her hair.
"Uhuh!" she nodded.
"She is sooo your daughter!" Lorelai laughed.
"Where is that coming from now?" he asked her confused while William was tugging on his shirt.
"I´m just always amazed by her eyes. She has your eyes and these endless lashes. And her hair is getting lighter everyday. It´s not even brown anymore. Soon she will be blonde."
"William stop tugging on my shirt! I have my mothers eyes and my mum was blonde" Luke shrugged.
""Daddyyyy!" William yelled now.
"What Will?" Luke asked him a bit harsh.
Williams eyes teared up and he crawled fast out of the bed and ran out of the room.
"Oh no. Will!" Luke said a bit helpless.
"You better go after him!" Lorelai smiled and took Laila. Luke smiled back and kissed her before he walked out of the room and knocked on Williams door.
"Will?" he asked when he opened it. William sat crying on his bed, hugging his legs, just like Lorelai always did.
"Go away!" he yelled at Luke.
"Hey, Will I´m sorry. I didn´t mean to snap at you."
"You are bad! Go away" the boy cried.
"Oh William. Don´t be mad at me. I said I´m sorry. I´m just so tired, you know. You know that I´m not in a good mood when I´m tired." Luke tried and sat down on Wills bed.
"mommy is cranky when she is tired" he told him.
"Son, come here! What´s wrong?" Luke asked and picked him up.
"I wanted to say "happy birthday" first! But Sara did and she can´t say it right! And then you picked up Laila and ignored me. I wanted to be first. You said we would be here alone for your birthday. And now the stupid girls are here, too!" William sobbed.
" But you can congratulate me now!" Luke said and hugged William.
"No! I don´t want anymore!" he sniffed. While Luke hugged him he saw a wrapped present on the floor.
"Hey, Will is that for me?" he asked him and pointed to the present.
"Yes, I wanted give it to you, but you ignored me!" William said defiantly.
" I am so sorry. Can I have it now?" Luke asked him with a smile.
"Uhuh!" William climbed out of Luke´s lap and picked up the present then handed it to him.
Luke placed William in his lap again, before he unwrapped the present.
Inside was a photo of William in a frame, which William had painted on.
"You made that frame?" Luke asked him
"Yeah, I painted the baseball and the fish here" William told him and pointed to some color on the frame.
"This is so great. Thank you so much William!" Luke smiled and kissed his son´s forehead before he hugged him again.
"Happy birthday daddy!" William smiled.
"You know what? In spring when it gets warmer again then we can come out here and go fishing. What do you think?" Luke asked him.
"Without the twins?"
"Without the twins and your crazy mother. Just the two of us" Luke smiled.
"Promised?" William asked still not convinced.
"Promised!"Luke said.
"Yay!" William yelled and hugged him again and nearly knocked him over.
"Hey go easy on an old man like your father!" Luke laughed.
"You´re not old, daddy!" William shook his head.
"Thank you. What do you think,let´s get you dressed and then we will make breakfast for our ladies!"
"I´m allowed to help you?"
"Yes, you can help me. But first we have to get dressed. Five minutes, we will meet in the kitchen?"
Luke asked and stood up.
"Yeah, five minutes daddy!" William said with a serious expression.
Luke walked over to the bedroom where Lorelai was cuddling and talking with the twins.
"Crisis over?" she asked him when he came back.
"Yes, crisis over. We will make breakfast now." Luke said and grabbed some clothes.
"We?" Lorelai asked.
"William and I . We" Luke said.
"Me, too, daddy!" Sara immediately yelled.
"Hey! Indoor voice! And no, you are still too small. Your brother will help me, baby!"
"I wanna do breakfast!" Sara pouted.
"No, just daddy and me!" William said when he entered the bedroom.
"Noooo! Me too!" Sara yelled at him.
"Stop that yelling! No one is making breakfast. I already made breakfast!" Lorelai said.
"You made breakfast?" Luke asked her and buckled his belt.
"Yes!" she proudly grinned.
"Urgh!" William made.
"Just you wait you mean boy! No birthday cake for you!" Lorelai told him and Luke just laughed.
"But you didn´t make that cake, did you?" he asked her.
"Of course not! Sookie made the cake. I want to celebrate and not to kill you. But I already prepared the table for the breakfast last night."
"Oh no. But please no pink birthday hats this year!" Luke groaned.
"They are for girls!" William said and made a face.
"And you two are manly men, I know! But instead of complaining you two could get the coffee ready!" Lorelai told them with a duh-expression.
"Coffee kill you!" Sara told her mother.
"Oh no, not you, too! Your brother is enough like his father, so please leave it. And now you two, shoo" Lorelai groaned.
"Come on son. We will get the breakfast ready and leave the girls alone!" Luke said and winked at Lorelai.
"Yeah, no boys here! We wanna get dressed!" Lorelai yelled at them with a smile.
"Indoor voice, mommy!" William just said and took Luke´s hand before they walked in the kitchen.
After Lorelai had dressed the twins and then herself they joined Luke and William in the kitchen area. William was already sitting on his chair, waiting for his mother and his sisters. While Luke made tea for himself and the kids and then filled Lorelai´s cup with coffee, Lorelai lit the candled on the cake.
"Hey birthday-boy, come over here and blow out these candles!" she grinned and Luke walked over. When he blew out the candles Lorelai started to sing "Happy Birthday" and the kids joined her, each one wanted to be louder than the other. Then Luke cut the cake and handed everyone a piece, even he himself took one and sat down.
"Honey did you turn your cellphone on, Rory wanted to call?"
"No, not yet, I will turn it on after breakfast. It´s just eight o´clock, she´s still sleeping now. The only crazy person who would call now is TJ and that´s not a way to start my birthday."
"Do you think he will give you "air-pants" as a present again?" Lorelai laughed.
"The last time the air-pants ended up around his neck while he sat in front of the diner. And his etch-a-sketch-portrait wasn´t that big of a hit. I can´t understand how Liz can stand this guy 24/7. He drives me nuts!"
"Well, seems like there is a genetical tendency towards the crazy in your family"
"Seems like it, Crazy Lady!" he smiled and kissed her.
"Eeewww, daddy!" William made.
"What´s your problem son?" Lorelai asked him.
"No kissing, that´s eeewww!" William told her.
"It´s not eeewww! And if I´m not mistaken you are the one who always comes "Mommy, goodnight-kiss!" " she told William.
"But Danny said that Susan kissed him and it was eeewww!"
"Ah jeez, Will would you stop saying "eeew"! And why is a five year old kissing a four year old?" Luke asked.
"Because Susan is Danny´s girlfriend" William explained.
"His what?" Luke nearly swallowed his tea.
"Well, the kids are starting early nowadays." Lorelai laughed.
"Tell me my son, do you have a girlfriend?" Lorelai grinned.
"No, girls are stupid!"
"Noooo!" Sara yelled and slapped William.
"Hey, no yelling and no slapping Missy or this breakfast will be over for you. Understood?" Lorelai told her.
"uhuh!"
"Good. And why are girls stupid?Am I stupid?" Lorelai turned to William again.
"No, you are crazy mommy!" he giggled.
"Oh you meanie! Come to your crazy mother that she can kiss you!" she laughed and took him out of his chair, sat him down on her lap and tickled him, before she placed kisses on his face, while he laughed and tried to hide his face behind his hands. When she stopped he turned around and hugged her.
"You are not stupid. Love you mommy!" he whispered into her ear, so that the others wouldn´t hear.
"I love you, too sweety" she smiled and sat him back on his chair.
