Fate: Part 1

Section 1: Just Friends

Chapter 3

All A Dream?

Disclaimer: What do I possess? Nothing of Gilmore Girls. Well except this story, not the characters.

Lorelai pulled the comforter closer to her body and slowly opened her eyes. As her eyes adjusted to the dark she felt around her. Her hand hit something rough. She moved her hand up and felt hair.

What the...

"Honey?"

"Aaaahhh..."

Lorelai fell off the bed and took the sheet with her.

"Oh, honey are you alright?"

Lorelai looked up to see Luke looking down at her. He reached over and flipped the light on.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Lorelai just looked up at Luke.

Where am I? She looked around. She wasn't in the potting shed. The walls were red. There was a chair and books and an alarm clock.

"I don't own an alarm clock." Lorelai mumbled.

"Of course we do." Luke said as he got up.

"No I don't." Lorelai insisted. She moved away from him.

"Babe. Are you alright? Did you hit your head?" Luke moved closer to her.

"Stop calling me babe! I'm Lorelai Gilmore!" Lorelai began to get more nervous.

"You haven't been Lorelai Gilmore for 5 months. Your Lorelai Danes." Luke began to worry, did she hit her head hard?

Lorelai rubbed her dark brown hair.

"Luke?"

"Yes."

"Where are we?" She looked down to find herself in a nightgown. "Why am I in my pajamas... in bed... with you?"

"We're at the house. Lorelai are you feeling okay?"

"Why am I in that bed with you?" Lorelai repeated.

"We were sleeping."

"But we're just frien..." Lorelai looked down at her left hand. A beautiful diamond ring sat on her ring finger.

"Momma. Daddy." A 4 year old Rory opened the bedroom door.

"Come here Rory." Luke picked the little girl up. "Did you have a bad dream?"

"Yes." Rory answered snuggling into Luke's chest.

"Rory? Your..."

"Mommy." Rory kissed Luke on the cheek then grabbed at Lorelai.

Lorelai took Rory from Luke and kissed her head.

"Did I wake you and daddy?" Rory asked.

"Daddy?"

"How about we go get back in bed?" Luke took Rory from Lorelai and walked out of the bedroom.

Lorelai followed Luke out of the room and down the hall. She watched him walk into a room. As she neared the door she heard Luke singing softly.

She peeked into the room. She looked around. The walls were purple with a pink striped border. The bed that Luke was bending over was pink with purple pillows. Stuffed dogs surrounded the room.

"Daddy?" A sleepy Rory said.

"Yes Angel." Luke said pulling the pink sheet around her small body.

"I love you."

"I love you too Angel." Luke kissed her brown hair. He grabbed a stuffed dog from the end of the bed and tucked it under Rory's arm. He kissed her head once more then turned and left the room. He pulled the door shut behind him and leaned back against the door.

"Lorelai are you alright?"

"Rory is big."

"She's 4. Did you hit your head bad?"

"Luke?"

"Yes babe?"

"I think I just had a dream. A really weird dream."

"What was it about?"

"I was 16 again." Lorelai began. "I had had Rory and had just met you. I left Hartford and came to Stars Hollow and you took me to the Independence Inn where I met Mia."

"Lorelai were you watching the home videos again?"

"No. Don't you believe me?"

"Of course honey, let's go back to bed."

"Okay."

Luke puts his arms around Lorelai's shoulder and they made their way to the bedroom. Lorelai got into bed and Luke covered her up. Lorelai watched him as he made his way to the other side and crawl in.

"Thank you." Lorelai whispered as she turned towards Luke in bed.

"For what?"

"For getting hit in the head with a baseball."

"Your welcome babe."

Luke gave Lorelai a tender kiss then closed his eyes. After a few moments he was asleep. Lorelai gently placed her hand on his head. A moment later she was asleep.

The sun poured into the cold room. Lorelai opened her eyes and gazed around.

What the...

Lorelai quickly sat up and looked around at her surroundings. She wasn't where she was a minute ago. Where was Luke? And her bed and books and...alarm clock? Was she just dreaming that? Was it all a dream?

Lorelai picked up the phone beside the bed and dialed Luke's number.

"William's Hardware." A gruff voice answered.

"Hi is Luke Danes there?"

"Hold on." Lorelai heard the voice sit the phone down. "Luke it's some girl."

"Coming." She heard footsteps run downstairs.

"You need to stop giving girls this number Luke. It's for Hardware business only."

"Hello."

"Luke?"

"This is." Luke said roughly.

"It's Lorelai."

"Hey." She heard his voice soften.

"What year is it?"

"1984. Lorelai are you okay? Did you hit your head?"

"That's exactly what you said when we were married."

"Married? What are you talking about?" Luke asked confused.

"In my dream." Lorelai said as she rubbed her head. "I dreamt we were married and Rory was 4 and we had books and an alarm clock. I've never had an alarm clock."

"Lorelai did you fall and hit your head 'cause your sounding pretty crazy."

"What happened last night?" Lorelai slipped her house shoes on as she talked.

"I dropped you and Rory off at the inn. You guys are living there now."

"Right. Right." Lorelai had walked to the window and was peering out.

"Are you sure your alright, 'cause you don't sound it." Luke said as he gathered some work up.

"I'm fine."

"Listen, I'll come over in a few minutes to check up on you two. Okay?"

"No Luke, I'm fine."

"I insist. I'll be over in a few." Luke hung the phone up and ran upstairs.

Lorelai sat the phone on the windowsill then turned towards the small cold room.

It was all a dream, wasn't it?

A/N:

I had got this idea while watching tv. You'll see what's going on later on. Actually I really don't know how it's going to end up. We'll see. I just watched "A Vineyard Valentine". It was the best episode this season. I loved the whole Luke telling Lorelai he loves her. So adorable! I liked the thing between Logan and Luke with the V-day gifts. I loved it all! My fav part was the "I Love You" part. Tell me what you think of the chapter and the episode. Also is my story different from all of the others? Let me know. Thanks for all the great reviews!
