Chapter 4:
When they made it behind closed doors, Lorelai pulled Luke over to the bed and undressed him quickly
Luke: no talking
Lorelai: you were the one who put and time limit on it
Luke: it was just an expression; Caesar won't time me and make sure I am back in just a few minutes
Lorelai: ok, so slower then
Luke: slower
About 40 minutes later Luke and Lorelai made their way down the stairs. They hadn't cuddled or fallen asleep for the fear that they would be discovered. On reaching the diner Lorelai was surprised to see Rory there. She tried to come up with an explanation that would account for all 40 minutes, because she wasn't sure how long Rory had been there for.
Rory: hey mom, why didn't you wake me?
Lorelai: I thought you would want to rest; you work so hard at Yale. How long have you been here?
Rory: only 5 minutes
Lorelai: good, I would hate if you were here for long by yourself
Rory: what were you doing in Luke's apartment?
Lorelai: talking,
Rory: you could just talk down here
Lorelai: he was on his break when I arrived and so I went to see where he was and ended up talking to him up there.
Rory: ok, hey Luke
Luke: hey Rory, refill
Rory: thanks, mom?
Lorelai: yeah
Rory: you want?
Luke: no more
Rory: come on Luke, its her oxygen
Luke: no more
Rory: I can't believe you aren't arguing with him
Lorelai: its fine, I had plenty upstairs
Luke: 4 refills
Rory: ok, well I will have for the both of us
Luke walked back to the counter, and Lorelai followed
Lorelai: I'm being good
Luke: I'm glad
Lorelai: well doctor said it would be beneficial
Luke: i've been telling you that for years
Lorelai: well I believe the doctor
Luke: do you want decaf?
Lorelai: yeah, I guess. I don't want Rory to get suspicious and she will if I come back to the table without coffee
Luke: yeah cause you have me around your pinky
Lorelai: of course, thanks
Lorelai and Rory drank their coffee and ordered their breakfast. When they were ready to leave, Lorelai let Luke know that she would see him later. For the next couple of days Luke and Lorelai would meet secretively at the diner or at her house when Rory had gone back to Yale on the Monday. They were together morning afternoon and dinnertime.
It was Friday again and that was her most fertile day according to the doctor, so Lorelai visited Luke before dinner at the Gilmore mansion and made plans to see him after. Rory wasn't coming home this weekend. Lorelai was happy about this could she hated lying to Rory and she knew that she and Luke would spend most of the weekend in the bedroom.
Lorelai was going to meet Rory at the grandparents. She hurried there cause she was already late and she knew she probably wouldn't hear the end of it.
Lorelai: hey mom
Emily: your late
Lorelai: sorry traffic
Rory: hey mom, your late
Lorelai: not you too
Rory: sorry
Emily: something to drink, a martini, wine?
Lorelai: no thanks; I will just have a soda tonight please
Emily: ok?
Rory: are you ok?
Lorelai: perfect why?
Rory: you look terrible
Lorelai: just tired and irritable
Rory: you've been out a lot this week
Lorelai: no I haven't
Rory: of course you have, every night I phone and there is never an answer
Lorelai: you must call when I am at Lukes for dinner
Rory: I call Luke and you are never there
Lorelai: leave it Rory
Rory: mom, who?
Lorelai: nobody
Rory: Whoever it is obviously you have drunk a lot with him
Lorelai: why would you say that?
Rory: cause you only turn down a drink if you have had a hangover the night before
Lorelai: I haven't been drunk in ages
Rory: if you say so
Lorelai: I do
Emily: lets eat
Rory: sounds great grandma
Lorelai: yeah
Lorelai ate very little to Emily and Rory's surprise. She had told them that she didn't feel well. Lorelai had excused herself to go to the bathroom. She wasn't sure why she felt sick, it wouldn't be morning sickness yet, maybe it was just nerves, mixed with tiredness and the concert change in emotions
Emily: is your mom seeing anyone?
Rory: no, why?
Emily: just seems like she could be pregnant, but obviously not
Rory: of course not, I would know if she was seeing someone and she would definitely tell me if she was pregnant
Emily: she tells you everything then does she?
Rory: the only thing she doesn't tell me is the death stuff
Emily: death stuff?
Rory: yeah, that meeting that she had with Luke last week was all about what would happen to me if she died.
Emily: wow, didn't think she would be thinking about that yet, I wonder if she knows something that we don't
Rory: why do you say that?
Emily: she isn't eating or drinking like herself
Rory: she switched to decaf
Emily: that is definitely a sign that something is up
Rory: I never thought about that, I just thought that since she has been spending a lot more time with Luke that he eventually rubbed off on her, with his health talk
Emily: I guess
Lorelai returned looking pale, she excused herself and made her way home. She stopped by Luke's on the way to tell him she wasn't up to having sex. He was ok with that but asked her to stay there with him anyway so that he could look after her. She agreed without hesitation. He tucked her into his bed and they talked for a while until Lorelai had fallen asleep. Luke kissed her on the forehead and went over to his couch and went to sleep.
Rory was a bit worried about her mom so she decided to go check on her and head back to Yale early in the morning. She was surprised though to find the house empty, she had driven past Luke's on the way into town and it was empty. Where could her mom be? She wouldn't have faked sick to go out with a guy, a guy she didn't tell Rory about, would she?
Rory tried her mom's cellphone but it went straight to voice mail. She decided to leave it, and went back to Yale. She was confused and hurt. There was never a time she felt like a daughter, but she did now. Her friend would have confided in her. Her best friend would have told her what was going on.
Please review so I know what to write in my next few chapters, thanks
