Chapter 2:
Danes' Residence
When Luke opened the door he was shocked to see April. April just smiled at her father.
"I thought you were coming tomorrow."
"Mom dropped me off early. She said that we needed to get to know each other better."
Luke sighed. That's Anna.
"Come on in. You can put your stuff in Rory's room."
April walked into the house and Luke shut the door behind her. April walked into Rory's room. I don't understand Anna. Luke walked to the bottom of the stairs and called up to Lorelai.
"Lorelai."
Lorelai came to the stairs. Her hair was wet and she had her robe tied around her.
"What?"
"April's here."
Lorelai looked confused. She started to walk downstairs.
"I put my stuff in Rory's room." April came into the living room. "Oh, hello Lorelai."
Lorelai smiled at April. Isn't she supposed to come tomorrow?
"April, I thought you were coming tomorrow."
"I was supposed to, but mom said that it would be better if I came today. She said I needed to spend more time with you guys."
Lorelai motioned for April to sit down. April graciously accepted. Lorelai took a seat across from her step daughter. Luke stood next to Lorelai.
"How's school?"
"Pretty good. I'm entered in the science fair again."
As April said this Luke looked away from her and walked to the kitchen.
"Do you want a soda April?" Luke called from the kitchen.
"Please." April replied.
"So. You doing good in school?"
"Very good actually. I have straight A's."
Lorelai laughed.
"That sounds like Rory. She got straight A's her whole life."
"I've only met Rory once, but she was very nice."
"Rory is a great kid."
Luke came back into the living room with a soda in one hand and a glass of milk in the other. He handed April the soda and gave the milk to Lorelai.
"I didn't want this." Lorelai said making a face at the milk.
"It's good for you and..."
Luke looked over at April. He couldn't say anything until Lorelai was ready. Lorelai took a sip of the milk knowing why Luke got it. She sat it on the coffee table then stood up.
"Were going to dinner at my parents tonight. You can come if you would like."
"Thanks."
Lorelai looked towards Luke.
"We have to go finish getting ready. Can you be ready by 6:00 April?"
"Uh huh."
"We'll be upstairs if you need anything." Lorelai said as she grabbed Luke's hand.
"Ok." April got up and went into Rory's room.
"Come on Luke." Lorelai said smiling her sexy smile.
Lorelai began to walk upstairs and Luke followed. As they got to the top of the stairs the phone rang.
"I'll get it." Luke said turning around.
Lorelai grabbed his arm and pulled him to her. She kissed him deeply and he wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her closer.
