Title: Wanting To Turn Back Time

Lovers Once More


The next morning Lorelai woke up with a sense of comfort. Like she was where she belonged. She pulled back the sheets, that hadn't been washed in a few years, and stepped out of bed. She rubbed her eyes, smoothed out her 'I Love Lucy' pajamas and headed downstairs for the only thing that kept her moving.

"Mommy!" Kaleb called as Lorelai walked down the stairs.

"How long have you been up?" Lorelai asked stepping off the stairs.

"Since around 6:00." Rory piped up, walking into the living room. "He woke me up."

"Coffee?" Lorelai replied.

"Kitchen." Rory said walking over to the couch and sitting next to Kaleb.

Lorelai traipsed into the kitchen, picked up the pot and poured herself a cup. She went back into the livingroom, sipping the coffee.

"Whatcha watching?" Lorelai asked sitting on the other side of Kaleb.

"Cartoons." Kaleb replied.

"Duh. But which ones."

"Flintstones." Rory replied.

"Oh, okay."

The three sat in silence watching the TV, until Lorelai spoke up.

"Kaleb?"

Kaleb turned to look at Lorelai.

"Did you like daddy?"

"Uh huh." Kaleb replied.

"Good." Lorelai smiled hugging the boy to her.


Lorelai and Rory made plans for the rest of the day. Lorelai, Rory, and Kaleb, would all go eat at Luke's, than Rory and Kaleb would drive to New Haven, while Lorelai and Luke talked.

"What do you want?" Lorelai asked Kaleb as they sat around a table in the corner of Luke's.

"Pancakes."

"Rory?"

"Same."

"So do I."

"What can I get you three?" Luke asked walking over to their table.

Rory looked up to see a different Luke. He looked as if he actually slept last night, and his beard was trimmed into just a little stubble. "I want pancakes, half bacon half sausage."

"A large order of..." Lorelai turns to Kaleb. "You want strawberry?"

Kaleb shakes his head yes.

"Strawberry pancakes."

"And what for you?" Luke asks.

"I'm eating the strawberry pancakes." Lorelai saw Luke's smirk. "Hey! I see that."

Luke just turned and walked away smirking.

"Luke hasn't changed one bit." Lorelai commented. "Not one bit."


After breakfast, Rory and Kaleb left, and Lorelai followed Luke upstairs.

"Want some coffee?" Luke asked shutting the door behind them.

"Please." Lorelai said sitting on his couch. She took that time to look around Luke's apartment. He still had the queen sized bed, and the Tv, and if she went into the bathroom, she was sure she would find the shelf and toothpaste she used. "The place hasn't changed much."

"Nope." Luke replied starting the coffee pot. He walked over and sat in the chair across from her.

"So.."

"So.." He repeated.

Lorelai smiled thinking about all the times she stayed the night. The way after he fell asleep he would put his arm around her stomach and hold her close. She wanted that feeling again. She wanted to turn back time. And she was going to feel that way now. She stood up walked over to Luke, and leaned in until she felt his lips against hers. She pushed in with passion, and built up hunger of the past 4 years.

Luke sure didn't stop it. He probably wanted it ten times more than she did. He had missed her so much, and now that she was back, he felt as if he had a second chance.

Luke pulled Lorelai down onto him, never breaking the kiss. They stayed there for a few seconds until Lorelai stood up, pulling Luke with her. His hands traveled from her face down to her hips squeezing them softly. Lorelai started pulling Luke towards the bed. She laid down on the bed and pulled Luke on top of her. His hands pulled on her shirt, and got it off successfully. Next, Lorelai unbuttoned his flannel and threw it off. Their lips met in an intensifying kiss.

"I love you Luke." Lorelai whispered against his lips.


4 ½ hours later

Lorelai lay underneath the flannel sheets up against Luke's chest. Her head against him, and his arms around her waist. He was asleep, she was drifting in and out of sleep, when a loud knock came from the door. Lorelai jumped up, waking Luke at the same time, and started running around grabbing her clothes and putting them on. Luke who was in his boxers, threw on his pants and a flannel, and walked to the door while Lorelai ran into the bathroom, half dressed.

"Yea?" Luke asked pulling the door open.

"Sorry for interrupting you Luke, but Rory's downstairs waiting on Lorelai." Lane said.

"Tell Rory she'll be right down." Luke replied. "She's in the bathroom."

"Okay." Lane said walking off.

Luke went back inside closing the door. He looked over at the bed, and saw all sheets on the floor.

Just then Lorelai came out of the bathroom, hair a mess, clothes on. Luke looked down, not wanting to meet her eyes.

"I guess I gotta go." She said grabbing her purse and walking past him.

"Yea."

"Thanks." Lorelai replied as she opened the door. "For this. I think we both needed it."

Luke just nodded as she shut the door. He still loved her, but didn't know what to do. He couldn't turn back time.


A/N: Short, but whatever. Tell me how you like it. Read and Please Review! Many of you want Lorelai and Luke to be together, and I want them to be too, but just read, I promise it will get worse, then better, then maybe worse again. Who knows? Not me.
