Hey guys! Here's more. So who hates Nicole? Sorry, I'm watching an old eppy and she is really starting to bug me. Anyway, So Here's a filler chapter. Sorry if you are all about to kill me because the drama has disappeared, but I promise it will come back. But not yet. so here it is, I will try and write the next chapter REALLY long because it will take a while to get to the drama. I spent the whole day searching for colleges, and let me say that they are crazy! There are so many colleges, and how do they expect me to pay for them! I will never be able to get that much money, even with loans! It's ridiculous! Sorry, I had to vent to you all. Feel free to vent back.

Disclaimer: if I can't pay for college, then I don't think that I own Gilmore Girls.

Chapter 16: Hiding Twinkies, Revealing Love

"Pancakes? French toast? Eggs?" Luke asked as Lorelai walked into the kitchen the next morning.

"Coffee." she answered as she sat down. She rubbed her eyes which were still adjusting to the light. Luke gave her a look that said 'we-have-discussed-this-already'. "Luke, just give me the coffee." she demanded. Luke reluctantly obliged to her command, reminding himself that she still needed to adjust to no coffee, so he would let it slide, for this one cup.

"So what do you want to do today?" he asked as he set the cup down in front of her, and then walked back over to the stove to make breakfast.

"Well, first I would like pancakes, and an omelet. Ooo, actually I want those second. First I want a kiss." she said with a smile. Luke walked over from the stove and pulled Lorelai up out of her chair by her hands. He pulled her slowly into an embrace and kissed her on the head. "Hey, that's not a proper kiss!" she complained. Luke looked down at her with a smile.

"Is this?" he asked and then he leaned down to give her a kiss.

"Not quite but you're getting there." she answered. Just then a laughing was heard coming from Rory's room. "He's awake!" Lorelai said excitedly.

"He's been for the past two hours. Since 8." he said.

"Oh hush! Just because I sleep late doesn't make me a bad person! Just a very lazy and tired one!" she said happily as she pecked Luke on the lips. She then broke away from his embrace and ran to Rory's room and opened the door. "Surprise!" she yelled and Luke could see that Jake only laughed more because of this.

"You are just like a child." Luke told her.

"Shush! You! Leave me to my happiness! Go be a grumpy old man in the living room." she told him.

"And who will cook your breakfast?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow at her.

"Santa Clause!" she answered playfully as she picked Jake up out of his crib. "How is my little Jakey this morning? Happy? Excited? Full of love and joy? We can only hope that the grumpy genes were not the ones you received." she said to the little child. Jake pointed to his father. "Yes! That's daddy! He is the grumpy old man! Se, he knows who's the grumpy one already!" Lorelai said to Luke.

"Yes because we all know that it is so easy to understand you." he said sarcastically.

"Did you hear that Jakey? Is Daddy being mean to me? What are you going to do about it?" she asked him. Jake just stuck his fist in Lorelai's mouth.

"Stick his fist in your mouth." Luke answered with a laugh as he flipped pancakes.

"He just needs more training! Don't you? I know that deep down inside there is the male equivalent of me inside this little boy of mine! Don't you doubt that!" she told Luke.

"Yes because that is such a reasonable thought."

"Enough of these sarcastic, mean remarks mister!" Lorelai said as she finally exited Rory's room. Luke then placed the pancakes he had been cooking on the table.

"There. Happy death." he said as he went back to making himself oatmeal.

"And what a splendid one it will be!" Lorelai said cheerfully.

"So what are we going to do today?" Luke asked.

"Hmmm, I don't know. I think we should stay here until noon." she said.

"And do what?"

"Well, maybe we could run around naked. Hey, do we have any whipped cream?" she asked knowing what his response would be.

"Oh jeez!" yep, there it is. Lorelai thought to herself.

"Oh jeez!" Lorelai mocked. "You know you would enjoy it!" she said as she threw a piece of pancake at him but it ended up landing on the counter three feet from him.

"Could you please think of something we could do that would be appropriate enough for Jake to witness." he rephrased his question from a few minutes ago.

"Oh! So that's what you meant? Well that changes things a bit. Hmmm, maybe watch some movies, stuff some chips down your throat. Ooo! I wonder if we have Twinkies!" she said with a smile.

"I am not eating that crap. Do you realize how fattening and unhealthy that is for you?" he asked.

"Fattening, well if you are worried about that, then you are in for a hell of a shock in the next 8 months! And they are not unhealthy! You just have to eat them in sparing amounts." she said as she shoved a bite of pancake into her mouth.

"And you call the amount of that crap in your diet sparingly?"

"Why yes I do! Now, if I ate them every meal, then that would be unhealthy, but I don't. Just every other meal. I wonder if Rory has any Twinkies stored in her room. She likes to hide these things from me." Lorelai said as she got up. She handed Jake to Luke and walked into Rory's room to search for the hidden Twinkies.

"I wonder why she would do a thing like that!" Luke commented sarcastically.

"I know! I gave birth to her! I gave her life! She should not be hiding anything from me!" she said as she continued to search the room.

"And she is how old?" Luke asked Lorelai.

"She is 21, but just think of it as 2 plus 1." she yelled from the closet. "Ah ha! I found them! Wow! She really did hide Twinkies from me." she said as she carried the box out. She was looking inside of it. "Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!" she remarked.

"What?" Luke asked.

"She has two left! Two! She has been eating them without telling me that they were even in this house! So not only is she ignoring the fact that I carried her inside of me for 9 months, but she also is ignoring the fact that this is my house!" Lorelai complained.

"I will get you some Twinkies at the store if you stop this complaining." Luke bargained.

"Yes! Ooo! Can you go now? And I want some ho-hos and some of those little coffee cakey things! Ooo! Those are so good!" she rambled excitedly.

"Ho-hos?" Luke asked.

"Don't tell me you have never tried a ho-ho?" she asked in amazement. He looked at her as if she was crazy. "Oh my god! You are trying one! I will make you!" she said as she put the Twinkie box on the table.

"Only if you eat a bite of this oatmeal." he said.

"Eew! How dare you try to feed that to me! Do you not love me?" she asked.

"Well see you are more use to me alive rather than dead." he said.

"Dirty." Lorelai said slowly with a grin on her face.

"And I set myself up for that one!" he said as he handed Jake back over to his mother.

"Yes you did." she told him. She then looked at Jake. "How about we go pick a movie that makes Daddy regret he ever agreed to this! Sound good?" she asked him. Jake just giggled. "I will take that as a yes." she said as she flashed Luke a smile.

---------------------------------------

"No more." Luke said firmly.

"Come on Luke! Just one more. Please! We have been going over this for the past 3 minutes, just give in! I've only had two! Just give in!" she begged. Luke knew that the moment he looked into the blue of her eyes that he would lose, but he did it any way.

"fine." he sighed.

"Yes! Score!" she shouted as she threw her arms up into the air. Luke got up and walked into the kitchen and returned quickly with a cup of coffee. Lorelai sniffed it and cringed.

"What?" Luke asked.

"You! How could you? How could you even think of poisoning my cup with decaf? You will break Mr. Coffee!" she said to him.

"Mr. Coffee?" he asked.

"The coffee maker! You gave me decaf! Why?" she asked in astonishment.

"Why? Because caffeine is bad for the baby." he said simply.

"How would you know? You've never had a kid before! Besides Jake, who you weren't here for the pregnancy so you wouldn't know what is good and what is bad." she argued.

"Liz was pregnant once too you know." he said.

"So? He body can't handle the amount of caffeine my body can! My genes are genetically mutated!" she stated.

"Just drink the coffee." he said.

"What? No! Absolutely not! I will not drink this! Now go get me the real stuff! Before I go and get some myself." she said.

"Ok. Go get some." he said as he unpaused the television.

"Wha? What? You are refusing? This has never happened! You!" she pointed to her abdomen. "You! It's all your fault! You have affected my powers some how! And even when I do get the foods I like, you make me just throw them up in the toilet! You are nothing but a pain in my stomach! Just wait! I will be calling you a pain in the kidney too!" she chastised her abdomen.

"Crazy." Luke muttered.

"Ah! And now daddy is calling me crazy! If only your big brother was up! He would defend me by poke your daddy in the eye! But no! He's sleeping." she pouted.

"He's napping. That's a good thing." Luke commented.

"You just shush! I've had just about enough of you today." she added, faking annoyance.

"I'll remember that when you want dinner." he threatened with a smile.

"You wouldn't!" she exclaimed.

"I would." he said flatly.

"But…but…not fair! You know my weakness! That's not playing by the rules!" she complained.

"What rules?" he asked.

"Why the rules of dating a Gilmore. What else?" she informed him.

"Oh, well then if I had known about those rules before…" he teased. She hit him on the arm. Just as she was about to say something, the phone rang. "That's for you." Luke told her.

"How do you know?"

"Who would call me?"

"Good point." she said as she got up to get the phone. "Hello?" she answered the phone. "Yes this is she. Oh, hi. Yes I did." she paused. "Oh, uh, Thursday at noon? No, I can't make it. I have to work." Lorelai answered. "Ah Friday at three. Hold on, let me just check here." Lorelai said as she turned to Luke. "Are you free on Friday at three?" she asked him.

"I guess. Why?" he asked. Lorelai just held up her hand telling him to hold on.

"Yes, Friday at three is great. Thank you. Bye." Lorelai said and then hung up.

"Who was that?" Luke asked.

"My OBGYN. We have an appointment for Friday at three." she sat down next to Luke.

"So I've heard." he said as he kissed her on the cheek.

----------------------------

Lorelai lay in bed looking up at the ceiling. She and Luke had spent the night just holding each other. They had not decided to go out into town for anything. They had just spent the whole day together. And once again, Lorelai felt safe. Luke always made her feel warm and secure. He always made her forget that she was in the real world. He could do this with one embrace, one hug, one quick gesture that says 'I love you'. Luke could do this and Lorelai wondered why it had taken so long to find that warmth, that security, that love. And even though she knew in her mind that no matter what, Luke would always be hers, she still felt like she had to be able to fight for him at any given moment. She had to prepare for someone sabotaging their relationship. She had to be prepared to hold on and trust Luke no matter what ex of his came around. She had to be prepared to give him space, but try to keep him close. She had to be prepared. And what she didn't realize was that Luke also needed to be prepared.

Lorelai moved closer to Luke and leaned in on his chest. Luke placed one arm under her shoulder and the other on her arm.

"hey." he whispered.

"You're awake." Lorelai responded.

"So are you."

"Well I couldn't sleep with you so far away from me." she whispered while looking up at him.

Luke just leaned down, kissed her gently and rubbed her arm lightly. Lorelai took that as his response and placed her head on his chest again.

They soon fell asleep in the same position, neither stirring nor moving an inch. It was pure bliss and neither had ever felt as warm, as secure, or as loved as they had at that moment.
