Lorelai left the house and walked over to Luke's for coffee before going to the market. She looked in the window and saw Audrey helping Luke pour coffee. She walked in just behind Taylor.
"You know Luke, the Spring Carnival is coming up next week you could really make some extra money if you set up a booth or something similar at the carnival," Taylor said sitting down at the counter.
"Ohh pa," Audrey gurgled.
"That's right Audrey. Taylor no," Luke said.
"It was just a suggestion, Luke," Taylor sputtered. He walked past Lorelai and she took his seat at the counter.
"Well look who has Daddy already wrapped around her little fingers," Lorelai teased.
"This is going to be one Gilmore girl who won't have to rely on take out and pizza for a meal," Luke teased back. "Just today Audrey learned how to push the lever on the toaster."
"Can she pour coffee yet?"
"No she can't and she's not going to start. This is one Gilmore child that will not be a coffee addict."
"You're cruel Luke," Lorelai teased.
Just then the annoying ring of Lorelai's cell phone rang.
"I'm going to start making you check that thing at the door and you can have it back when you leave," Luke said. "Outside."
"You would really think that being your wife and the mother of your children would count for something, Mr. Danes," Lorelai said sticking her tongue out at Luke as she went to the door.
Luke watched her go. Some things in his life would never change. She would always come in and beg for coffee. He would always give it to her. Her phone would always ring he would always tell her to go outside. Sometimes she would go and sometimes she would stay. Watching her from the window, he could tell that there was something wrong on the other end. She threw her phone in her bag and blew into the diner at light speed.
"Lorelai? Honey what's wrong?" he asked placing Audrey in her swing he set up in the corner.
"Something's wrong…Christian…Rory…Home," Lorelai said trying to form a full sentence.
Luke didn't need a full sentence. Pulling Audrey from the swing and putting her in the car seat he took Lorelai's hand and pulled her from the diner. Locking Audrey's seat in place in the truck he helped Lorelai in and he flew down the street and got to their house at the same time that the paramedics were.
