Okay, I know after this chapter you will probbly hate me all, but please leave a review and keep in mind that I had no other choice, otherwise the story would have gotten boring!
Chapter 35: Kick asses... be happy!
When Lorelai came back some minutes later, Luke was still leaning against the wall.
"God, these toilets here are so...urgh! Is there nobody to clean it? I can´t see one single woman here, but the toilets look like the whole crowd used them the last hour!" Lorelai was upset, but Luke just smirked.
"I should have warned you!" he said and slung his left arm around her waist to lead her back to their seats.
"Woah! We didn´t take the crazy train from back to the future, didn´t we?" Lorelai asked when they arrived back at their seats.
"What?" Luke asked confused, not knowing what she was referring to. She pointed with her chin in the direction of Jo and Kirsten who were in a tight embrace and kissing passionately.
"Oh, that!" Luke just said and shrugged.
"Don´t worry about it, that´s normal!" Andy whispered into her ear when he noticed her confusion.
"Huh" she made and sat down in Luke´s lap again, still starring at Jo and Kirsten.
"They are what you would call "friends with benefits"" Luke said when he saw her staring in their direction.
"How long has this been going on?" she wanted to know.
"No idea. Maybe since she moved here, maybe longer. I don´t know. Ask Andy I´m sure he knows, he´s like the male Miss Patty!" he wrapped his arms around her waist and placed his hand on her stomach, slipped it under her coat.
"You always did that when I was pregnant!" she laughed because it tickled.
"You remember when William kicked my hand for the first time and I got so excited that you laughed about me for the next days", he would never forget this moment.
"You were so funny. If I would have let you, you would have followed me the whole day with your hands on my stomach. But I really learned to appreciate it during the last trimester. First with Will and even more with twins. I loved it when you slipped your arms under my huge belly from behind to support the weight." she smiled and kissed him.
"Haha, Danes you saw that!" James suddenly yelled.
"What?" Luke stood up, taking Lorelai with him.
" Man watch the game and not your wife. You´ll see her for the rest of your life!" Andy winked at them.
"He better will!" Lorelai shot back and tried to let Luke watch the game for some time.
"That was fun!" Lorelai said scampering from one leg to the other while they walked to the exit.
"And what are we doing now? Huh? Huh?" she tugged on Luke´s arm.
"I don´t know. Maybe we could invite the guys over for a drink. Andy and Jo could finally meet Rory and Logan and James could get to know the other three as well. If they want to, or do you have other plans?" Luke suggested.
"Weeeell, we could act on my plans after they will have left!" she grinned and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. Luke gave her another kiss and a smile before he turned to his friends.
"Hey guys, how about we drive back to Stars Hollow and grab some drinks at our house?"
"Are your kids home?" James wanted to know.
"Yes, even Rory and her boyfriend" Lorelai told them.
"Sure, sounds great and then I will finally get to meet your offspring, Danes!" James said and hit Luke´s shoulder in a friendly way.
"I never met Rory either!" Andy told James.
"I think we will go over to my house instead. Jo hasn´t seen all of it yet and I want to be home when Honor comes back from her friend." Kirsten excused herself and Jo.
"Yeah sure. Seems like the bedroom is still missing in his tour!" Andy laughed.
"Andy, shut up!" Jo said annoyed and pulled Kirsten away from the group. She turned around and waved before they walked off to Jo´s car.
"Today he was in his "I´m an asshole"-best-form!" Andy said when the two had walked off.
"I can´t understand how you always can stay this calm. If he would have treated me and my wife this way I would have beat him up. Stupid jerk!" Andy went on.
"And then? My hand would be aching, he would be even more of a jerk afterwards." Luke explained.
"And I don´t want my husband to get into a fight over such a stupid thing. He had a talk with Jo, it worked, problem solved. Can we just forget it and let the day have a nice ending?" Lorelai told them.
"Good idea. I really can´t wait to meet your kids. I bet it will be pretty funny to see your kids, Butch. I wanna see their reaction when the strict daddy comes home! I bet they ´re running off to their rooms and hide under their beds!" James joked.
"Just wait, Carter!" Luke laughed and opened the car with a button on the key.
"Woah! Luke bought himself a toy!Blow!" Andy mocked.
"Get into your cars guys and follow us! If you can..." Lorelai said smirking and raised her eyebrows before she sat down in the passengers-seat.
The drive back to Stars Hollow took them a while because the streets were clogged and it was around eight when they finally pulled up in their drive-way. But Lorelai had used the time to tell Luke how much she liked James and Andy and how much fun the game and the day with his friends had been for her.
It wasn´t the first time Andy visited them, but for James it was.
"God Danes, does Lorelai have millions or you won in the lottery? First that car, now that house! What comes next? Your own Yacht?" he said impressed, but Luke just shrugged.
"Don´t tell me you have your own yacht!" Andy laughed.
"No, we don´t. Geez, guys stop that now. You know that I have my own diner and some houses, Lorelai has her own Inn and a house. That´s all I´m going to say to our financial situation." Luke said annoyed and took Lorelai´s bag out of the trunk, while she unlocked the front-door.
"We´re home!" she yelled and let her purse fall on the floor, before she kicked off her shoes and threw her coat over the hook. James and Andy followed her closely, Luke needed some more seconds.
"Mommy, did we win?" William came running into the foyer and bounced up and down excitedly, not really paying attention to the two men.
"Did we win?" Lorelai turned around and asked them, because she had no idea.
"Nah, we didn´t. But we played pretty good. Bad luck! Hi Will!" Andy explained to William.
"Hello!" William said a bit shy when he noticed the guests and Lorelai picked him up.
"Will, you remember Andy, he´s already been here a few times and that´s James another friend of your daddy!" she explained.
"Hello" William greeted James even shyer and then noticed Luke who just pulled off his shoes.
"Daddy! Is it true that we didn´t win?" he asked and held his arms out for Luke, who took him from Lorelai.
"Yes, it´s true. But I´m sure we will win the next time" he reassured him.
"Then we´re gonna kick their asses!" William yelled and his fist shot in the air. Lorelai stared at him, mouth open.
"William! Where do you have that from?" Luke wanted to know, equally shocked.
"Benny always says it at the soccer-training!" William shrugged, while Lorelai had gotten over the initial-shock and laughed, together with Andy and James.
"William Jeremy Danes I don´t want to hear you say that again until you are at least fifty! Understood?" he said in a threatening voice.
"Okay!" William mumbled and leaned over to signalize Luke that he should put him down.
"And you, don´t laugh!" Luke told Lorelai, but had to laugh himself. She grabbed his hand, with which he had pointed his finger to her face, and they walked into the living-room, followed by their guests.
"Uhhh!" Lorelai made when she saw Rory and Logan kissing on the couch, the twins playing with their dolls on the floor, to get their attention. Rory and Logan broke apart and Rory was embarrassed when she realized that her parents had guests.
"Uh...hi!" she waved from the couch, but Logan pulled her up and towards the guests to introduce themselves, while the twins had run to their parents and while Lorelai held Laila, Luke had Sara on his arm. After Rory and Logan had greeted Luke´s friends Luke pulled softly on Sara´s hair to make her turn her head. She did and giggled while she slapped her father´s hand.
"So this here is Sara and these are two friends of mine, these are James and Andy" Luke said.
"Sara Emily Danes" the girl said proudly and gave both men a hand. They had to smile and Luke kissed her cheek.
"And this young lady over here is our other daughter. Can you introduce yourself, princess?" Lorelai asked Laila and the girl nodded before she turned towards James and Andy.
"Laila Melody Danes" she said and then buried her face in her mothers shoulder again.
"Such big girls you are!" Lorelai smiled and kissed Laila´s hair several times.
"She reminds me of your mother" James said to Luke, pointing to Laila´s direction.
"Yup. While she on the other hand is the spiting image of her mother, in every possible way!" Luke said and rolled his eyes, poking Sara´s stomach lightly with one finger.
"Daddy stop!" the girl squeaked and giggled.
"What do you guys wanna drink?Beer?" Lorelai asked.
"Beer´s great!" they answered and Lorelai handed Laila to Luke before she went into the kitchen to grab the beer. The others sat down on the couch.
"So, did these three behave?" Luke turned to Rory and Logan.
"Yep, just perfect. Beside the broken window on the first floor, the new hole in William´s door, two dolls more without heads and a new haircut for the guinea-pigs!" Rory said.
"You´re lying!" William yelled. He was sitting in front of the cage, talking to his pets.
"Will, what did I tell you about your yelling?" Luke asked him.
"But it´s not true! She´s lying!" he yelled again, this time to his father.
"William!" Luke said.
"Sorry!" the boy mumbled.
"What did you say, I couldn´t hear you?" Luke pressed.
"Sorry!" William said a bit louder.
"Aha. So how was it Logan?" Luke said pointedly and looked at Rory with raised eyebrows.
"They were really prefect, no problems at all. How was the game?" he wanted to know.
"Good, but we lost" James said.
"Luke could you come over here for a sec?" Lorelai yelled from the kitchen.
"Mom, what did daddy tell you about your yelling?" William screamed towards the kitchen.
"Ah Geez, Will be quiet!" Luke said annoyed, while the rest of the group laughed. He handed the twins to Rory and walked into the kitchen.
"What´s wrong?" he asked Lorelai, who had placed some beer and sodas on the table together with a bowl of popcorn, crackers, pop-tards and jelly-beans.
"Nothing´s wrong, I just need you to give me a hand and bring some of this stuff out."
"Ah, okay" he shrugged and gave her a peck before he grabbed some beer and carried them over into the living-room.
After he went into the kitchen for the third time to get the rest of the stuff he sat down next to James on the couch, Sara immediately climbed back into his lap. When Lorelai came back into the living-room with the popcorn-bowl, she placed it on the table. Then she stood there, all eyes on her, looking round because every seat was taken. She wrinkled her forehead and thought, the others already smiled, before she smiled, took Sara, sat down on Luke´s lap and then placed the girl in her own lap.
"Ha!" she made proudly and everyone erupted in laughter.
"I´m the new armchair now, or what?" Luke asked smiling.
"Of course! You should be used to it by now, husband of mine. At night you are my pillow, now you are my armchair. You´re pretty flexible, I think they should start to produce you serial." Lorelai quipped.
"So you´re also a pillow? My, my Danes! Didn´t know you were that soft!" Andy laughed.
"What? I have no choice! She has me in a death-grip every night!" Luke laughed.
"Aren´t you amazing? And dirty!" Lorelai said.
"Gross Mom, here are kids in the room!" Rory said and everyone laughed again.
Half an hour later all were talking about Yale, football or the best way to get drunk without being hung-over. But the kids were tired. Sara and Laila were more lying than sitting on top of Lorelai, meaning on top of Luke, too. William had snuggled up to Rory and was half asleep already.
"I think it´s bed time for our monsters" said Lorelai and nudged Luke with her elbow.
"No monsters!" William mumbled half-asleep.
"No, you are no monster!" Luke said, ruffeled through his hairand picked him up, after Lorelai had stood up with the twins.
"Say goodnight!" Luke told William, who just mumbled something and lay his head down on his father´s shoulder.
Luke and Lorelai changed the kids and put on their pajamas before they lay them down in their beds and kissed them goodnight.
Back down in the living-room they found the other four in deep-conversation about something.
"They are just too cute for words." Rory just said.
"Who? The kids?" Lorelai wanted to know when they sat back down again, side by side with joined hands.
"No, you!" Rory said.
"Who me?" Lorelai asked confused.
"No, you two! You and Luke!" Logan clarified.
"What?" Luke asked.
"We just pointed out again that you two are the perfect couple. A nice house, big car, three beautiful and clever kids..." Andy told them smiling.
"Four! Four beautiful and clever kids!" Luke said immediately and Rory smiled at him, touched.
After that the topics got lighter again and they talked until deep into the night. Andy and James decided to take them up on their offer and spend the night in the guest-room, while Rory and Logan spend the night in Rory´s room.
Luke lay in their bed, on his side, while Lorelai was still in the bathroom getting ready for bed. When she came out she wore a light-blue short gown and a smile. Luke took her appearance in and smiled back.
"You know that we have a house full of people" he said though.
"Uhuh" she smiled and slipped in beside him.
"Rory and Logan are in the house, in her bedroom right down the floor."
"Uhuh!"
"And James and Andy are in a room directly under us"
"Uhuh" she made and lay on top of him.
"Lorelai!" he laughed when she slipped her cold hands under his shirt and tried to hold them while she started to kiss along his jaw-line. When he finally got hold of her hands she looked up.
"Luke we had an incredible day" she started.
"Uhuh" he repeated her former choice of words.
"And we have four beautiful and clever kids who had to get into the world somehow" she went on.
"Uhuh" he made again and didn´t flinch because of the fact that he only had been part in the production of three of them.
"And we got the confirmation today that we are the perfect couple"
"Already knew that!" he said and kissed her for some seconds before she broke the kiss.
"And you are mine! Mine only and I´m so happy and I love you, Mr. Smart-ass!" she grinned and kissed him again.
"I´m also happy! I love you, too!" he mumbled between kisses and his hand found it´s way into her hair when he rolled them over.
