A/N: Hello all! Have a wonderful fantastic day! Don't Do Drugs!
Lorelai sat down on the couch and pulled Luke down with her. She smiled at him and rubbed his leg.
"What's wrong Luke?" Lorelai asked.
"Nothing."
"Your drunk. You never get drunk."
"Yes I do, and I'm not drunk."
"Luke Danes, don't lie to me."
"Fine, I'm drunk. You happy?" Luke asked standing up.
"No I'm not!" Lorelai said standing up also. "Why do you keep blaming yourself for the miscarriage?"
"Don't you remember Lorelai?"
"Remember what?"
"I pushed you. You didn't want to because you were afraid you'd get pregnant again, and I pushed you. I, Luke Danes caused it." Luke said upset.
"Luke, you did not. Neither of us caused this. We have to forget. We have to go on and live."
"The doctor said you may never get pregnant again."
"If I don't it's fine."
"Damn it!" Luke yelled. "You wanted another kid!"
"Yes I did, but if I can't it's not your fault or mine. Please Luke!" Lorelai said breaking down and letting the tears cascade down her cheeks. "I wanted that little boy! I wanted us to watch him grow up! But it didn't happen! It's not your fault! Please believe me!"
Luke looked at Lorelai and saw the pain in her eyes. He pulled her too him and let her cry into his chest.
"I am so sorry Lorelai. So, so sorry." Luke whispered into Lorelai's ear. "I didn't mean for this..."
"I know."
Lunch
Lorelai turned the hot water on in the tub. She let it fill half way before she poured bubble bath into the water. She let it fill up then shut the water off. She shed her clothes and gently stepped into the bath.
She closed her eyes, moved down, and let the water run over her shoulders.
"Mmmm." Lorelai mumbled.
Without her knowing Luke had came into the bathroom. He watched her as she let the water flow over her shoulders. After almost ten minutes he spoke.
"You enjoying that?"
Lorelai jumped and water splashed out onto the floor.
"Did I scare you?" Luke asked walking to the sink and turning it on.
"No, I just jumped 'cause I felt like it." Lorelai said.
"I see."
"What are you doing in here?" Lorelai asked moving under the water.
"This." Luke said holding up his razor. "Your mother might disapprove if I have a beard."
"I believe she will." Lorelai said letting calm flow through her body. "One time when I was 14 dad grew a mustache. Mom hated it and begged him to shave it off."
"Your dad with a mustache?"
"Yep."
"Would I look good with a mustache?" Luke asked looking in the mirror.
"No way." Lorelai replied making a yucky expression. "I like you with stubble or none."
"Don't worry." Luke said shaving his stubble off. "I wouldn't dare have a beard, or you would probably divorce me."
"Damn right."
Ring...ring..
Lorelai walked over to the phone and picked it up.
"Hello?" Lorelai answered.
"Lorelai, it's your mother."
"Hello mother."
"I just wanted to let you know that me and your father will be taking the kids out to eat."
"That's fine."
"Also, I found this little restaurant on the beach, that I made reservations at."
"That's good. Enjoy."
"The reservations are for you and Luke, Lorelai."
"What?" Lorelai asked plopping onto the sofa. "Why?"
"I thought you two could enjoy an evening together under the stars."
"Aren't you just travel guide?" Lorelai said.
"Excuse me?"
"Never mind." Lorelai sighed. "Where's this restaurant?"
Luke had gone looking for coffee for Lorelai. While he was gone, Lorelai decided to get dressed and surprise him with the dress she bought while she was pregnant with the baby.
She quickly put on her makeup. A little mascara here, a little blush there, and a little lip gloss to make her lips shiny, and taste good.
She grabbed the dress from the back of the closet where she put it on the day they arrived. She brought it in case of a special occasion, or just to make Luke drool.
She took off her robe and slipped the dress over her lacy black bra and underwear. She then went into the bathroom and curled her hair. Finally finished she took out some clothes for Luke and laid them on the bed.
"I couldn't find any coffee that you would want to drink." Luke said coming in and shutting the door. "All they had was raspberry. However I brought you a scone."
"Hey Lukey." Lorelai called from the bedroom doorway.
Luke looked up to find Lorelai in a short lacy black dress. It came to her knees and flared out. It was v-neck cut and spaghetti straps. She had black high heels on and a diamond necklace on with her engagement ring on her hand.
Luke was shocked. Sure he knew Lorelai was beautiful, but he never saw her like this. She never dressed up. All she wore was t-shirts and pants. Maybe a skirt every now and then, but now short dresses. He was just plain shocked.
"You like what you see?" Lorelai asked seductively.
"Whoa." Luke mumbled.
"Your clothes are on the bed." Lorelai said walking towards Luke. "Go get dressed."
"Where are we going?" Luke asked looking at Lorelai. He couldn't get over how beautiful she was.
"Somewhere special." Lorelai said placing her hands on his shoulders and leaning into kiss him. Just before she touched his lips with hers she spoke. "If you don't go get dressed you may not get lucky tonight."
Luke smiled. He knew Lorelai had gotten him, but he didn't want to tell her that. There were three things that got him. First her pout. Whenever she pouted and stuck out her bottom lip he caved. Second her hair flip. Very powerful. She looked so beautiful doing it. And third her little black dress. He now knew that the little black dress was probably more powerful than the hair flip or the pout.
"I really don't want to have to make you wait Luke." Lorelai said still just a breath away from his lips.
Luke leaned in and let the distance between them subside. He had to feel her lips. They were shiny. And tasted damn good too.
"Now will you go?" Lorelai asked when she broke away and wiped her lips.
"As long as you promise more of that later." Luke said referencing to their kiss.
"Maybe." Lorelai said breaking from his embrace. "Go."
Luke gave in and did so.
"Reservations under Gilmore."
"I'm sorry Mam there is no reservations under Gilmore."
"Could you try Danes then."
The lady looked down her list until she came to Danes.
"Here it is. I assume you are Mr. and Mrs. Danes. Please follow me." The lady picked up two menus and headed out side. She took them almost a half a mile down the beach until they came to a table set up with candles. "Please enjoy your meal."
"This sure is a long way out." Luke said looking around.
"Yea it is." Lorelai replied. "But look over there." Lorelai said pointing to their right. "It's another table farther down.
"I like it here." Luke said looking over across the table and Lorelai. She was even more beautiful in candle light. "It's quiet and peaceful."
"It's perfect." Lorelai replied looking at her menu. "I cannot mom was this nice and made us a reservation."
"Your mother's a wonderful lady."
"I guess she is." Lorelai sighed. "She used to not be."
"Maybe she didn't mean to be that rude."
"Sometimes I think, maybe it's because her only child got pregnant at 16, but then I think she still could have been supportive."
"You sure she wasn't?"
"Well, this one time. When Rory was still in my stomach, I remember Christopher and me sitting at the top of the stairs listening to our parents go on about how to handle this. I remember Strobe mentioning an abortion. Mom literally jumped up and screamed at him, and telling him how awful to think like that." Lorelai smiled. "I also remember Francine saying 'Isn't there a place that take girls like her' and mom shot back 'Girls like what Francine?'. Mom was staring at her so hard, Francine couldn't even talk."
"See, your mother cared about you."
"I guess she did in her own way."
"I know she did, and she does."
"This is nice." Lorelai said smiling.
"Very nice." Luke replied. He reached across the table and grabbed her hand. He rubbed it softly. "It was nice of your mother to let us have some peace."
"Yea. She really does care."
