Ok, so I now know that I officially have no life. I have spent most of my day writing. As most of you know, I posted chapter 7 earlier today so this will be my second chapter in the past 12 hours. So, I demand you all get down on your knees and worship ducky! No, just thank me in your review. So my lip is better, it doesn't hurt anymore, but my cold is still there. Although, I do feel much better. I feel like I need a life. What do you all think? Maybe get myself a nice boy ducky. Huh? How does that sound? So, on with the story, that has no ending in sight. And I mean that. I can't come up with even the slightest idea of how I am going to end this, and that makes me worry. Do you like the title? I think it sounds a little dirty.
Disclaimer: I think it would take more than12 hours to pull a bank job.

Chapter 8: Bananas and Animal-Like behavior
"Mom, come on! Come with me!" Rory begged over the phone.
"No! I am not going!" Lorelai refused.
"But it'll be fun! You can bring Luke along! They haven't seen Luke in over a year! And they haven't seen Jake in over three months! Come on! For me?" Rory asked.
"Fine! But you will pay!" Lorelai said.
"Oh, but I will voluntarily pay. Thanks. So I will see you on Friday?" Rory asked.
"Yes. You will see all three of us on Friday." she said dramatically.
"Ok! Now you just have to run that past Luke! Remember that they were the reason you broke up last year. He might not be too keen on going." Rory added.
"I know! Just give me some time! I have my ways with that man." Lorelai said, hinting at sexual acts.
"Hanging up now!"
"Ok. Bye babe. Love you." Lorelai said into the cell phone.
"Love you too. Bye mom." Rory said and then both hung up. Lorelai gave a sigh. She was in the diner sitting at one of the tables trying to feed some food to Jake, but he kept spitting it out.
"Hey! More coffee?" Luke asked as he walked up. He didn't even wait for the response before pouring more liquid death in her cup. "What ya doing?" he asked Lorelai when he saw her struggling to stick a spoon of some sort in Jake's mouth.
"Well see, I am trying to feed your son, but he seems to hate these--" she glanced at the jar label "bananas." she finished.
"What?" Luke asked. He wasn't quite getting the 'if he spits it out he doesn't want it' factor in the situation.
"He keeps spitting it out. He is so my son!" she said excitedly.
"Because he won't eat bananas?" Luke asked.
"That and the fact that he loves his daddy." she said smiling at Luke. A cheesy grin appeared on Luke's face. He leaned down and pecked her on the lips.
"Eew! Get a room!" Kirk screamed from behind them.
"Ah, Kirk, need I remind you that you make out all the time all over the town? Remember last time?" she responded.
"Yes." Kirk said gloomily as he turned around to pick and stare at the food in front of him.
"Now where were you?" Lorelai smiled seductively.
"I was about to take your order." Luke answered knowing that was not the answer she was looking for.
"Luke! You're no fun anymore!" she complained swatting his chest with her free arm. "Plus I need to talk to you about something." she said changing the subject. He looked worried. Was something wrong? He thought. He sat down across from her as she gave up with her attempts to stuff the mashed bananas in Jake's mouth. She placed the spoon on the napkin in front of her and screwed the cover onto the jar of baby food.
"What's wrong?" Luke asked in a concerned tone. Lorelai picked up on the worry in his voice.
"Oh, it's nothing serious, but I wanted to warn you that we are going to my parents house this Friday." she asked. God I hope he doesn't freak! She thought to herself.
"Um…ok. Did they specifically invite us or are we just going over?" he asked. He was oddly calm about this.
"Ah, well Rory sort of talked me into it because she is sick of spending two hours talking nonstop." she answered. "I am going to call them tomorrow to tell them that we are coming though." she added quickly. Why isn't he mad? The last time he saw them, my mother was sabotaging our relationship. "You sure you're ok with this?" she asked. Better get it all out now rather than the five minute period of time we spend standing in front of the door trying to get ourselves to just ring the bell. She thought.
"Yeah, I mean, it is not my first choice of places to make dinner reservations at, but why not? I haven't seen them in over a year. Plus they have to get used to me being apart of their family." he said smiling. Is he insinuating that he wants to get married or something? Lorelai asked herself. She was just so full of inner questions, but she smiled back. This was her idea anyways right? She was the one that decided to bring Luke along right?
"So it's settled! Friday at the Gilmore's!" she said faking excitement.
----------------------
"Rory! Lorelai shouted throughout her house. "Rory!" she shouted again as she walked over to the kitchen. All of sudden, Rory's door swung open and she popped out into the kitchen. Lorelai grabbed her heart.
"What?" she asked.
"Are you trying to kill mommy?" Lorelai said removing her hand from her chest.
"Yes. Did it work?" Rory answered casually.
"Yes it did. So me and Luke are going now." she said. Rory finally noticed the dress that her mother was wearing. She told me something about having somewhere to be on Thursday night. Rory thought.
"Is tonight Thursday?" Rory asked. She couldn't remember these things right now.
"Why yes it is dear child of mine. As I was saying, Luke and I are leaving. With Jake of course, but we won't be back until later tonight. What time do you plan on leaving?" she asked. Rory had stayed for a night at the Crap Shack, and was now going to go see some of her friends in Hartford.
"Ah, probably 10, because they are having a party and I don't want to miss everything." she answered.
"Ok, well then I most likely won't see you until tomorrow! Ah! Damn Friday! Why did I agree to going there again?" she asked.
"Because you love me. And grandma hasn't seen Jake in while." Rory answered.
"Right, right. Why does Jake need to see grandma?" she asked.
"Go! Out! Now! Go enjoy yourself lady!" Rory said as she pushed Lorelai towards the door.
"Hey, hey! I still need to get your little brother who is up with his father who is probably putting the diaper on the wrong way--again!" she said dramatically.
"Well then go get both of them and then go. You said that whoever you are going to see is anxious to see Jake, so be nice and go parade him around." Rory said.
"Like in a dog show?" Lorelai asked.
"Ah! You are comparing my little brother to a dog now! I am appalled! I share half my genes with him!" she said.
"Yes, but maybe it is the Luke section of the genes that make him like a dog. I have noticed an animal like side of Luke these past three months." Lorelai said with a smirk of her face.
"Oh gross! Why do you insist on giving me nightmares?" she asked. She was now disturbed more than she ever had been.
"Ok, ready." Luke said as he can walking down the stairs carefully. Even after three months he was still terrified of dropping Jake.
"Ok. I'll be out in a sec hun." she said to Luke as he headed for the door.
"By babe." Lorelai said as she kissed Rory on the cheek. "See you tomorrow." she said after her and Rory hugged. She then headed out the door out to the jeep.
