Chapter 10
Six long, exhausting and sober hours later they all arrived at the Hartford Airport
"I had a great time this weekend girls," Emily said hugging Lorelai and Rory
"Me too grandma" Rory said
"Yea, it was fun" Lorelai said looking at Luke and smiled
"So will I see this Friday not only you girls but I want you two there too" She said pointing at Ben and Luke
"Sure" They both said
"Ok, well Lorelai you are taking the limo with us to our house first and then he will drop you off at your house and Rory and Ben you two have your own limo that will bring you back to Yale" Emily said
"Ok thanks again I had a great week" Rory Smiled and hugged her grandparents and both Lorelai and Luke
"Bye Hun I'll call you when we get home" She smiled and Rory and Ben walked to the limo
"Ok let's get going" Lorelai said and walked off to their limo followed by Luke
"Wait what about the luggage?" Luke asked Richard
"O don't worry about that the driver had it all taken care of" Emily replied and got into the limo
The drive to the elder Gilmore's house was short
"Thank you for coming, both of you" Emily said as she and Richard got out of the limo
"No problem mom I had fun"
"Thank you Mrs. Gilmore" Luke said
"Don't forget dinner Friday night" Emily smiled and shut the door
"You don't have to go if you don't want to " Lorelai said as they waited for the driver to take Emily and Richard's luggage out of the trunk
"Don't worry it comes with the territory" Luke said simply
"Oh, shit" Lorelai said suddenly
"What?" Luke asked concerned
"I never called Sookie and told her, I completely forgot" Lorelai said going in her purse to fish out her cell
"Tell her now" Luke said as she put his hand on her knee and rubbed it
"I will, and stop distracting me" She smiled and dialed her best friend's phone number. Luke just smiled back and moved his arm around her shoulders
"Hello" Sookie answered
"Hey Babe, it's me where in Hartford"
"How was the trip?" Sookie said excitedly
"Great actually that's why I'm calling" She said with a smile on her face and looked up at Luke
"What happened" Sookie asked curiously
"Well…" Lorelai wanted to keep her in some suspense
"Don't do that tell me!" Sookie demanded
"Well just let's say some people got closer this week"
"Like who, I mean you and Rory are already at the hip and Emily and you that would never happen"
"Think Sookie"
"Um, OH MY GOD!" She screamed in the phone so loud that Luke heard it clearly
"You alright Sookie?" Lorelai laughed
"You do mean you and Luke right?" Sookie wanted to make sure
"Yes, me and Luke are officially together" Lorelai couldn't kill the smile on her or Luke's face if she wanted to
"I'm so happy, tell me all the details," She asked
"I'll stop by the house tonight when we're settled k?"
"Great, and Lorelai…"
"Yea?" She said
"This is good." She said simply
"I know Hun, I know" She repeated and hung up
"So I take it she's happy" Luke laughed
"Yea, so far everyone we told is really happy for us, I just hope the town doesn't kill the joy" She said and snuggled into Luke's shoulder
"Don't get too comfortable because we are on your street" Luke said and lifted her chin to look at her
"I'm so tired" She yawned
"Me too" He said and kissed her forehead
"Why don't you stay at my house today and we can sleep" She said
"Sure but sleep, nothing else because I really am tired" Luke warned
"Hey, me too" She replied as the limo stopped
"We're here," Luke, said as the limo driver opened the door for them
"Help me" Lorelai wined as she tried to get out of the limo but was being lazy
"Come on you" Luke laughed and pulled her out as she nearly toppled on him
"You ok" She asked as she put her head on his shoulder
"Yea, let's get you to bed" He laughed again at her sleepy state
"Hold on, we have to tip the driver" she said going through her purse
"Ma'am would you like me to bring these bags in the house for you?" the driver asked
"Sure, thank you"
"No problem"
"I'll tip him you go inside and I'll be right in," He said as she put her head back on his shoulder and her arms around his waist
"Ok," She mumbled but didn't move
"Shit" Luke said
"What?" Lorelai asked looking in the direction Luke's attention was in
"O no" She said quietly
"Do you think they know?" Lorelai asked as she looked over at Babette's porch where she and Miss Patty were sitting down drinking lemonade and staring at the two of them
"Yup"
"Hey suga" Babette called
"Hey" Lorelai said walking up to them Luke not too far behind
"Where have you two been, and what's with the nice ride?" Patty asked curious
"Umm" Lorelai looked over at Luke who just shrugged
"We actually been in California" She answered truthfully
"Wow, why?"
"Well I had a family event to go to and Luke here joined me and as for the limo, my parents insisted" She smiled and grabbed Luke's arm next to her
"What exactly happened at this event?" Patty asked looking from Luke to Lorelai
"Lorelai and me are a couple now ok" Luke said speaking for the first time to the pair
"FINALLY" They all turned and looked at Kirk which was in a mailman's uniform filling Lorelai's mailbox
"Shut up you" Luke pointed at him and Kirk ran
"We are so happy for you two" Babette said and smiled
"Yes we are but if you will excuse us we have to go spread the great news" Patty said and they both stood and literally ran to town
"Great" Luke murmured
"Hey I thought you were happy to be with me," Lorelai questioned
"I am, trust me, I'm really really happy I just don't want people intruding" He said honestly
"Don't worry Luke they wont they are just as happy that we got together" She smiled and grabbed his hand
"Let's go I'm about to drop dead" Lorelai exclaimed as they walked into the house and straight to the bedroom
Lorelai grabbed a pair of yellow polka-dotted boy shorts and went into the bathroom. Luke undid the shoes laces to his boots and took off his shirt and pants and snuggled into the blankets in just his boxers and waited for Lorelai. A few minutes later she returned in a pink bra and boy shorts, very lowboy shorts. Luke couldn't help by stare.
"You like?" Lorelai laughed as she twirled for Luke to get a better view
"Yea, and if we weren't so jet lagged those would be coming off" He said truthfully and still stared
"I'll remember that for later" She smiled and jumped in next to him. As soon as her body was close enough Luke pulled her to him and she snuggled into him, her head on his chest and his arm around her mid-section. Soon both were asleep.
