Chapter 7 – And there he was

Lorelai rolled over in bed and smiled at the sight of the guy beside her.

"Good morning" she said happily

"Good morning" he said in his grough 'sexy' morning voice.

He pushed a curl of her hair behind her ear and kissed her sweetly on the lips. This caused Lorelai to smile even more.

Rory started to cry from the other side of the room, instinctively Lorelai turned to get up but was stoped by Luke's arm on hers.

"I'll get her" he said , kissing her once more quickly before climbing out of bed and crossing the room to her crib.

Rory's crying subsided at the site of Luke. He picked her up and carried her back to the bed. Luke was great with, who was now 10 months old. Lorelai couldn't believe how fast she was growing up.

Luke placed Rory down next to Lorelai and then lay down next them. Rory, like piggy in the middle, with Luke and Lorelai looking lovingly down at her. She gurgled and rocked back and forth, her deep blue eyes shinning bright. Luke looked up at the clock and groaned.

"I gotta go" he said, getting up off the bed

"Noo, don't go" said Lorelai picking up Rory and following him across the room.

" I have to go to work, and you two" he said turning to point at the girls "Have to go to work too"

"I suppose" said Lorelai pouting, as she pulled Rory up a little, balancing her on her hip.

Luke looked at her and her pouting face. Damn she was so cute when she did that.

"I'll bring back pie" he offered.

A smile spread across her face

"Ok!" she replied brightly

"Cya tonight" he kissed her on the lips, lingering a little, as their eyes caught. He then turned to Rory.

"Cya Rory" he kissed her on the forehead.

Lorelai smiled as she watched Luke leave. They had been together for about 8 months now and he was practically living with them, not wanting to be away from 'his girls'.

Lorelai put Rory down in her crib, as she got ready for work.


½ hour later Lorelai and Rory, both now dressed and ready for work, entered the Independence Inn. They said hello to Jake the bellboy and made their way to the kitchen. The chief in their had refused to give them food but Lorelai had made friends with a girl around her own aged called Sookie, who was working there part time, learning to be a chief.

Sookie was waiting at the door when Lorelai arrived. She was holding a brown paper bag and Lorelai hoped it was for her.

"Hey girls" Sookie said happily

"Hey Sook. Is that for me?" she asked hopefully

"Sure is"

"Thank-you, thank-you, you're a life saver"

"Its cool, cya later"

"Bye"

Lorelai rushed to clock on in time, making it right on the dot.


There was one more room to go. She was running a bit behind today as Rory had decided to throw up all over one of the beds earlier and it had taken Lorelai quite a while to clean it up.

So she was tired and just really wanted to go home and see Luke,

She let herself into the room as usual and put Rory down in the corner with some toys She replaced the toiletries, straightened out the room and had just finished making the bed when she heard a rattling of keys outside the door, she heard a click and then the door swung open. Lorelai was used to guests sometimes coming in before she was finished cleaning the room but who she saw took her breath away, and for all the wrong reasons.

A thin blonde girl almost fell giggling into the room accompanied by nun other than…

"Christopher" she breathed

He stoped dead when he saw her standing there. There she was, rich, flirty, beautiful…

"Lorelai"

The blonde girl next to him had stoped giggling, noticing the awkward situation.

Rory begun to babble and Lorelai was pulled back to reality, her eyes darted away from Chris's where they had been fixed.

He looked down, and for the first time and noticed the little girl sitting on the floor. Lorelai had now come back to her senses, noticing Chris looking down at Rory she quickly crossed the room and picked up Rory, holding her close, protectively.

"Lor" Chris started but she simply picked up her stuff and pushed past them out the door, running down the corridor as fast as she could.

Chris stood in shock. He had not expected Lorelai, of all people to be cleaning his room, his room where he planned to…with…. the girl next to him.

And Lorelai, Lorelai, a maid, she was so smart though. A dumb founded Chris sunk into the bed, the bed she had probably made.


Lorelai ran, ran all the way back to their house, their shed. She quickly scanned the room, no Luke, she dumped Rory's toys and raced towards the centre of town.

Luke had just put an order through when a distraught Lorelai burst through the door, clutching Rory to her.

"Lorelai?" he asked frantically

She rushed behind the counter and hugged him tight, concerned and confused he wrapped his arms around the girls tight. Lorelai's breathing slowly starting to even out again, feeling safe in Luke's arms.

20 minutes later Luke and Lorelai were sitting cuddled up together on the couch in Luke's apartment, above the diner.

Patty and Babbette had offered to watch Rory.

Lorelai seemed to have calmed down and Luke now wanted to know what was going on.

"Lorelai?" he asked tentatively

She sniffed

"He was there" she said quietly

"Who?" he asked, even though he already had a pretty good suspicion who it was.

"Christopher, Rory's dad"

"Oh" he had been right

"Yeah and I was cleaning a room and he comes in with some blonde bimbo all ready to…you know what and…god I hadn't him in so long…I freaked"

Luke just sat there not saying a thing, just absentmindedly running his hand up and down her forearm.

Was Lorelai jealous of Chris and this girl? I mean she would be I guess, I mean she had a kid with this guy. But she had run here, she was with you now.

Luke pulled himself back to reality as he noticed Lorelai looking up at him.

"I'm so lucky to have you" she said simply, she snuggled back into him, her head resting on his chest.

"Hey, no I'm the lucky one" he said pulling her in closer. Lorelai smiled a little, as she closed her eyes, happy to feel safe with Luke.

Chris had made her feel so scared, so vulnerable, but Luke…was home


Lorelai had fallen asleep on his couch, and Rory was fast next to her. Luke slowly closed the door of the apartment behind him as he made his way out of the room and across town.

"Lucas" Mia said happily

"Hey Mia"

"Where are the girls?" she asked putting down her paperwork

"Oh there asleep, I just wanted to know what was the last room Lorelai cleaned today…she though she left one of Rory's toys there"

"Oh ok, ill just check" Mia pulled out a book from under the counter and scanned down a list

"Room 19"

"Alright thanks Mia"

"Welcome"

Luke hurriedly made his way to room 19, Lorelai had not forgotten one of Rory's toys there, but Luke had to see his guy, this guy who could cause his girls so much pain.

Luke was soon outside room 19, he knocked on the door and heard movement inside. The door creaked open to relieve a guy around his own age dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, Luke had no doubt this was Christopher.

"Can I help you?" Christopher asked

Rage was building inside of Luke

"Yep" and he punched Chris straight in the face, he heard a yell from somewhere inside the room. Luke was seething with anger. Chris turned back to him clutching the side of his face.

"Stay the hell away from those girl oh so god help me you will never see daylight again"

Luke turned and walked down the corridor, leaving a shock Chris standing in the door way.


Lorelai woke up as she heard the door to the apartment close, she opened her eyes and saw Luke walking towards her

"Hey" she said sleepily

"Hey" he pushed the hair of her forehead and kissed her softly there

"Go back to sleep" he said quietly, she nodded and closed her eyes, soon fast asleep

Luke sat down at a chair in his kitchen, just trying to breath deep, his head was playing devils advocate, one half was saying 'damn it felt good to hit that jerk' and the other half was saying 'you probably shouldn't have done that man'. He sat there for about an hour before going to bed, he just kept telling himself 'you got the girl man, she's with you"
