Chapter 8

The Angel and The Baseball Player

A/N: I couldn't think up a good title.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls, but Amy and Dan do. So go hassle them about April! LoL!


1985-April

After that day at school, Lorelai went to the inn and started a job as a maid. Something that her mother would turn her nose up at. Lorelai liked that part, but nothing else.

Now almost 7 months had passed and Lorelai was getting used to being a maid, but one thing that still bothered her was seeing Luke and Anna together. Even though she wouldn't admit it when Sookie asked her, she knew that she had a crush on Luke.

Also Luke had stopped coming by. The last time he came to the inn was when she asked him if he would help her put up rosebud wallpaper in the potting shed.

Another change that happened was how much Rory had grown. Rory had started crawling in February and by time March came around she was walking. Not only that, but Lorelai noticed Rory taking an interest in books. She definitely was a Gilmore!

School was good for Lorelai. She made friends quickly and was getting good grades, but for some reason she felt like she was missing something.

About middle of January, Lorelai had gotten Mia to let Sookie be an 'Assistant Chef'. Of course Mia agreed and now both girls were working together.

A few weeks later Mia hired a black boy who had a terrible french accent. Lorelai and Sookie would play tricks on him and laugh at him behind his back. It might seem mean, but it sure was a lot of fun.


Being the middle of April it was Baseball season in Stars Hollow and every boy was trying out for the team.

"I can't believe how many guys are trying out." Lorelai said as her and Sookie walked down the hall towards the lunch room.

"I know." Sookie sighed. "Even Jackson signed up."

"No way."

"Yea, I know. I almost fell over laughing." Lorelai chuckled.

The girls made their way into the lunch room and to their normal table. Liz and Jackson was already there.

"Hey Jackson, Liz." Lorelai greeted.

"Hey Lorelai." Both Jackson and Liz replied.

"Is Luke here today?" Lorelai asked as she pulled out a sandwich Mia had packed for her.

"Yea, I think him and Anna went to grab some food from Al's."

"Oh." Anna was a sore subject for Lorelai.

"So, how was everyone's day?" Sookie said happily.

Just then Anna and Luke walked up.

"Good, except for the whole failing Calculus part."

Everyone looked at Luke baffled.

"What?" Luke sat down. "I was just kidding."

Anna laughed at Luke's joke then everyone else joined in, except Lorelai.


After school Lorelai and Sookie hitched a ride from Liz and had her take them to the inn.

"Mia!" Lorelai yelled as she pulled the door open and walked in. "We're here!"

"Then get to work if you expect to get off early tonight." Mia said as she rounded the corner with a stack of papers in her hands.

"Why are we getting off early tonight?" Sookie asked following Lorelai who was following Mia.

"Our first baseball game this season."

Mia turned to the girls who was clearly confused at why this baseball game was that important.

"Really Sookie. You at least should know why."

"Uh...no."

"Baseball is the only damn sport this town actually has a chance of winning at."

"Oh...right."

"So get to work so we can get out of here at 5:30!"


Lorelai and Sookie got to the job at hand. Lorelai went and made all of the beds in the inn while Sookie served all of the customers at the inn.

Finally at 5:15 they finished and went back to the potting shed to get cleaned up while Mia picked up Rory from the day care she had been staying at lately.

Straight up 5:30 Lorelai and Sookie met up with Mia at the front of the inn and started towards the baseball field.

"Where's Rory?" Lorelai asked.

"Oh, I had Michel watch her while we're gone."

"Michel?" Both girls looked shocked.

"Don't worry about Rory, she'll be fine."

Lorelai and Sookie burst into a fit of giggling.

"We weren't worried about Rory." Lorelai said laughing.

"We were worried about Michel." Sookie finished, also laughing.

Mia just shook her head and kept walking.


"So did Jackson get onto the team?" Lorelai asked as she took a bite of nachos'.

"I don't know, he wouldn't tell me."

"That's weird. He always tells you everything."

Sookie playfully hit Lorelai in the shoulder and Lorelai faked an 'Ow!'.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Stars Hollow 10th Annual Baseball Ceremony."

"Oh my God, is Taylor kidding me." Lorelai laughed.

"Tonight is a special night for a many young men, 'cause tonight might be the beginning of their futures."

"I don't think he's kidding."

"First I'm going to have all of the young boys who have been chosen called onto the field and given their numbers."

"This so doesn't surprise me, I mean it's Taylor." Lorelai replied.

"Please come onto to the field when I call your name."

"Get on with it already!"

"Andrew."

Andrew came running out onto the field.

"You'll be number 1. Jackson Melville."

"Oh. Yea!" Sookie squealed. "Go Jackson!"

"You are number 5. Lucas Danes."

Oh my gosh. Luke is...oh my gosh.

"You my boy are number 7."


Twenty minutes later Taylor finished the announcement and had the boys go change into their uniforms.

"Hey girls." Jackson called as him, Andrew, and Luke walked up to them.

"You guys look pretty damn good." Lorelai said smiling while glancing at Luke.

"Well thanks."

"Where's Anna?" Luke asked.

"I don't know, I haven't seen her." Sookie glanced around. "Was she coming tonight?"

"Yea, she said she was." Luke glanced at Lorelai. She's good looking. Shut the hell up! I have a girlfriend. But I don't like her. Right? Yea. 'Cause if I did like her then I wouldn't be attracted to Lorelai. God she's fine. If only... "Hey Lorelai, could I talk to you for a minute?"

"Uh...sure." Lorelai stepped down from the bleachers.

Luke watched as she did. She was wearing a flowing pink skirt and a white v-neck top. Her hair was straight around her face and curled out at the ends. She looked like an angel.

"So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?" Lorelai asked as they made their way from the others.

"I was wondering if you were dating Brandon Right?"

"What? No."

"But I saw you..."

"Why would you think we were dating?"

"I don't know."

"Is that all you wanted to ask me?"

"Um...yeah."

"Oh..ok then." Lorelai began to walk away.

"No wait." Luke pulled her around to him and kissed her hard.

It was the most amazing kiss for Lorelai. She felt her heart jump, and she didn't know what to do. Luke finally let go of her arm and broke away.

"Wow." Lorelai mumbled.

"Sorr..." Lorelai interrupted him by pressing her lips against his and gently moving her hands around his neck.


Unknown to either of them, Anna Nardini was standing not ten feet away staring at them wide eyed.


A/N: Hello Fans and Admirers. Well I don't know if you're my admirers, but anyways I'm really sad. You want to know why? Because I have gotten very few reviews on both of my stories. I mean I have gotten up three chapters in 24 hours and ya'll haven't reviewed. I'm not going to post my next chapter until I get at least 50 reviews. Sorry for being cruel, I'm just trying to see how many reviews I can get before I'm done with this section and I have only two chapters left. Anyways I changed something. What I changed was that instead of 60 chapters, I'm going to only have 50. I figured out a way to make it better and if had an extra ten chapters in there it really wouldn't be stuff that portrays to the main thing about this story. Ok well I have one more thing to say. I have a few things hidden in here that I took from Gilmore Girls (the show) re-read and post what you think it is. Ok maybe this will be the last thing, no I'm sure it will be. If you don't like the way I did the whole Lorelai and Luke's first kiss then tell me and give me some ideas on how to re-do it. Thanks for reading and please review or no more chapters! You know I'm kidding, right?
