Lorelai hurriedly made her way back towards her bathroom, wiping her cheeks and looking for running make-up. "How the hell can you're make up be running?" She asked herself. "It all washed off in the lake a while ago." A warm feeling overcame her at the memory of the lake and she couldn't help but smile at the curve life had bestowed upon her. Wiping another joyful tear from her cheek she headed downstairs to see Luke sitting in his chair, with a half-smile still on his face. Not wanting to admit that she had been eaves dropping she plopped down on the arm of the chair and asked sweetly. "What are you smiling about?" She leaned towards him to kiss him slowly, noting instantly the way his left arm curled around her hips naturally. It was at this moment that Rory decided to walk in and Luke pulled away slowly whispering.
"I'll tell you later." He promised and their attention went to Rory, duffel and book bag in tow.
"Is that too heavy?" He asked, jumping up from his seat and taking the book bag from her, surprised at how much it weighed. "God, you must have twenty books in here!" He exclaimed.
'No…just seventeen."
"What the hell do you need seventeen books for?" He grunted, sitting the bag on the couch as Rory momentarily took a seat.
"Well five of them are French books to assist in Lane's tutoring." She informed him. "A few are U.S. History books and my copy of Pride and Prejudice and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer are in there."
"Interesting combination." Lorelai mused, staring proudly at her daughter.
"I like to think so." Rory smiled, making her way over to the chair to hug and kiss her mother. "I'm gonna take off, I love you and I'll see you tomorrow."
"Love you too." Lorelai smiled, hugging her daughter tightly. Making her way over to the couch Rory hugged Luke once more and this time he seemed to be expecting it, making it appear more natural.
"I love you…" She hesitated, feeling Luke's sharp intake of breath. "Dad." When she pulled away she was pleasantly surprised to see Luke grinning sheepishly and he only grunted as his face began to turn thirteen different shades of red. Picking up her duffel she made her way to the door only to be called to by Luke. She turned to see him walking to her, forgotten back pack in hand and a smile still plastered on his face. "Oh, thanks Luke."
"You're welcome." He grunted, watching in amazement as she placed the thing on her back and managed to stay on her feet. Opening the door he let her glide past and after hesitating for only a moment called after her. "I love you too." She turned at the bottom of the porch stairs and smiled, and standing at the door he watched her as she walked slowly down the driveway and eventually out of sight. Feeling a pair of arms enveloping him from behind his breathing began to quicken, it always did, and he smiled at the feel of Lorelai's warm breath on his back. "She called me dad." He grunted, feeling her lips form a smile through the thin cotton of his shirt.
"I'm not surprised." She informed him. "She loves you."
"Should I be this happy?" He asked, closing the door and wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I dunno. But who can argue with happy?" She shrugged, leaning up to kiss him soundly.
"You got a point." He smiled, lifting a giggling Lorelai in his arms and carrying her upstairs…
