Chorus:
He smiles...
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you, daddy good-night.
There goes my life.
Lorelai was talking in full sentences early probably due to the fact that Brooke would talk to her as an adult instead of like a child. One night she surprised Lucas when she was going to bed.
"Goodnight sweetheart Mommy and I will see you in the morning."
"I love you, daddy good-night." Said Lorelai.
"Where did you learn to say that?" Asked Lucas.
"Mommy tolded me while you at work." Said Lorelai.
"I love you too baby." Said Lucas as he hugged her and walked out of the room and sat down on the floor with tears coming down his cheeks, that was when Brooke walked out of their room.
"Luke? What's wrong?" Asked Brooke as she sat down next to him.
"I just realized when I was putting Lorelai to bed, how fast she's growing up and then she told me that she loved me and good night in one sentence." Said Lucas as he held Brooke close to him.
"She is growing up fast isn't she but just think we still have her for at least 16 years here with us." Said Brooke.
"Can't she just stay this age forever?" Asked Lucas not really meaning it.
"Sorry she has to grow up. Come on let's go and have some grown up time." Said Brooke as she went back down the hall to their room.
Lorelai continued to thrive and grew up knowing that no matter what happened her parents would always be there for her. On her first day of kindergarten Brooke and Lucas took her there and had to be convinced by the teacher to leave. Lucas and Nathan made Brooke promise not to let Lorelai date until they were cold and buried, however Lorelai began dating at the age at 16. When it came time for Lorelai to graduate high school she had decided to go to school on the west coast and got accepted to UC Berkley.
"Mom is he ever going to come inside he's been sitting out there for 2 hours." Said Lorelai.
"He'll come in when he's ready honey, he's just thinking that's all." Said Brooke knowing that Lucas needed his space at the moment.
"I thought he was happy I'm going to Berkley." Said Lorelai.
"He is, honey did you ever wonder why I call your father Broody?"
"Yeah, a little."
"Look outside again." Said Brooke.
"Okay."
"When he just sits there not reading the book that he actually brought outside and hasn't touched the cup of coffee I brought him an hour ago, it means he's brooding or thinking as he calls it and when he's done he'll come back in and it'll be like nothing happened." Said Brooke.
"Okay, but he is happy I'm going to Berkley?" Asked Lorelai.
"Yes, he is." Said Brooke as she hugged her daughter. "He is just having a hard time with the fact that you're all grown up that's all."
Lucas came back in about an hour later and hugged Brooke.
"While I appreciate the affection, Broody. You might want to go talk to Lorelai." Said Brooke.
"Why?"
"She thinks you're not happy about her going to Berkley and that's why you were outside all this time." Said Brooke.
"I'm fine with her going there I'm just worried about her there by herself that's all." Said Lucas.
"I know I am too, but she needs to hear that from you honey not me." Said Brooke as she hugged him back.
"Okay, is she upstairs?"
"Yeah." Answered Brooke.
Lucas went upstairs and knocked on the door to Lorelai's room.
"Come in."
"Hey sweetheart, I just wanted to tell you that I'm good with you going to California." Said Lucas.
"So why did you sit outside for three hours like that?"
"Because I'm worried about you being there alone without your mom and I close by." Said Lucas.
"Daddy I'll be fine, besides I know if I need anything you, Uncle Nate and Grandpa Keith would be on the first plane out there." Said Lorelai.
"We most definitely would, so don't hesitate in calling us okay."
"I won't but Daddy in order for me to be a grown up I have to grow up and that means I have to go to college." Said Lorelai.
"Why can't you be two again?" Asked Lucas.
"Because, it doesn't work like that." Said Lorelai.
"No it doesn't."
"Well I'm tired so I'm going to go to sleep, I love you, daddy good-night." Said Lorelai.
"I love you too, sweetheart." Said Lucas.
