Wow, thanks for all the reviews. Keep doing it cos it's really helped me to write!
"You think she liked the diva in a diaper t-shirt I got for the baby?" Lorelai asked as they were driving back to Stars Hollow.
"What if she has a boy?"
"It's going to be a girl, Gilmore's have girls"
"Yes but half of that kid is Logan's"
"Hmm don't remind me" Lorelai crossed her arms and glared out of the window. Luke took one hand off the wheel and patted her leg.
"You okay?" She turned to look at him and her glare instantly melted.
"Just tired….and very hungry"
"When are you not hungry"
"Hey, I'm eating for two now"
"You've always eaten for two" Lorelai ignored his comment and began fiddling with the radio tuner.
"She looked healthy don't you think?"
"Yeah"
"And the apartment is bigger than I thought it would be, plenty of room"
"Yeah"
"And Jess looked like he was coping well, with you know, impeding fatherhood"
"Yeah"
"God I miss her"
"It's been two weeks since she moved there, one week before the honeymoon and one when we were in Paris. You've spent longer apart"
"Yes but when she was living at Yale or at my parents I knew she wasn't far away"
"It's not as if she's across the country"
"She might as well be" Luke stayed silent, keeping his eyes on the road. He knew when to comfort her and when to let her vent. "We only just got our relationship back on track but we still can't see each other. What happened to movie nights and shopping trips, breakfasts at the diner and mocking town events."
"I can do all that with you"
"It's not the same"
"No, it'll just be a new same" Lorelai didn't reply. She turned her to look out the window, watching the same trees and bushes whiz by. Luke kept one eye on the road and one eye on Lorelai. It only took another half an hour in silence before they were driving through familiar streets. Luke stopped the car outside the house but Lorelai didn't even notice. "Hey" He placed a hand on her shoulder and she jumped.
"Jeez! Don't do that!"
"Sorry, but we're home" Lorelai looked out the front window towards the house.
"So we are"
"Are you sure you're okay? I've never seen you that quiet" Lorelai sighed.
"I was just thinking about what you said"
"Yeah?"
"A new kind of same won't be that bad"
"No it won't"
"And we can up with some of our own traditions"
"Definitely" Lorelai smiled and gave Luke and quick peck on the lips. Lorelai and Luke unbuckled their seatbelts and climbed out of the truck.
"How about, for a new tradition we-"
"No"
"You don't even know what I was going to say!"
"Yes I do" Luke, snaked his arm around her waist and led her up the stairs to the front door.
