Hell can turn into heaven 7: How old are you?
AN: Thank you so much for all your reviews! I'm sick so I thought I'd write a new chapter.
I don't own Gilmore girls.
A few minutes later Logan came back to the living room carrying 'Romeo and Juliet'
"Ok I found it…under the bed…"
"I told you I had a system" Rory said remembering their first meeting.
"And you weren't kidding"
"No I wasn't" she said as Logan sat down next to her.
"Let's find the scene ok?"
"Ok" Logan went to the index of the book and quickly found what he was looking for.
"Ok here it is. Looks like I have the first line. Rory?"
"Yes?"
"There are no stage directions in this book. How will we know what to do?"
"I've got an idea. Wait here" she said and ran up the stairs to Lorelai's bedroom. Ten minutes later she found what she was looking for and returned to the living room.
"A movie?" Logan asked.
"Romeo and Juliet, it's the new version with Leonardo Dicaprio and Claire Danes. If we can't rehearse the scene right now, we can watch it. What do you think?"
"Great idea, so do we watch the whole movie or just our scene?"
"That depends"
"On what?"
"Have you seen this movie before?"
"No…"
"Then we're watching the whole movie" Rory said and smiled, seconds later she was frowning.
"What's wrong?"
"We have to go to Doses marked" Rory stated.
"Why do we have to go there?"
"We have no candy in the house, and it's against the Gilmore code to watch movies without candy."
"I'm not even going to ask."
"Good boy. Let's go" Rory said and grabbed his hand before she dragged him outside.
30 minutes later they were on their way back to the house hand in hand. Logan said something funny to Rory and she burst out laughing. None of them knew that Lorelai were watching them from one of the Windows at Luke's. Luke walked over to her.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
"I think my baby's falling in Love" she said and smiled.
"What!"
"Look at her Luke, she's so happy" Luke looked at Rory, she was smiling and laughing in a way Luke couldn't remember he had ever seen her laugh or smile before. She wasn't the little girl Lorelai had brought into the diner eight years ago.
Flashback.
Luke was wiping the counter after the lunch rush when he spotted the annoying but beautiful woman that had come to diner yesterday. 'Funny, I thought she said she'd disappear if I gave her coffee' just then the bell above the door jingled and the woman walked in holding a little girls hand. The girl looked a little shy and hid behind the woman. They walked up to the counter where they sat down.
"I guess you want coffee?" Luke said.
"You guessed right, give her some too" she said and pointed at the little girl sitting next to her. Luke shook his head and looked at the girls.
"How old are you?" he asked.
"I'll turn eight next week" the girl said and looked up at Luke with the most amazing blue eyes he had ever seen before.
"Sorry Miss, I will not serve an eight year old coffee"
"First: I'm no Miss, I'm Lorelai. Second: yes you will." Lorelai said and looked him in the eyes. Luke saw the striking resemblance between her eyes and the girls eyes, these two had to be sisters.
"Sorry Lorelai, don't you think she's a little young to drink coffee?"
"Mommy, tell him that I've been drinking coffee since I was three" the girl almost whispered to Lorelai, but Luke heard what she said.
"I'm sorry, but did you say mommy?" Luke asked shocked. Damn, this Lorelai girl did not look old enough to have an eight year old daughter.
"Luke, I would like you to meet my daughter; Lorelai Leigh Gilmore the third, but we just call her Rory." Lorelai said proudly.
"Nice to meet you Rory. I'm Luke"
"I know, mom told me you had the best coffee on the east cost" she said with a smile.
"I'm still not giving you coffee."
"Please" she said and pouted.
"Fine, but I'm adding milk to it"
"That's fine" she said and looked at Lorelai proudly.
"That's my girl" Lorelai said and laughed.
And that was the first of a routine Luke would soon come to love, and as he started to love the routine, he started to care more and more for the girls too. Rory started to come to the diner after school to do her homework, and soon she filled a space in Luke's heart he didn't even know he had. He would help her with her homework when her mother was working, and he would comfort her if she was sad. The whole town knew that Luke had a soft spot for these two girls, he had never let kids do their homework there before, but when Rory came in and took up her books, Luke would simply give her a cup of coffee(mixed with milk of course) and a doughnut. It was just the way it was with her and no one said anything.
Now he was watching the same girl walk hand in hand with a boy, she was getting older and these things were bound to happen, but that didn't mean that he had to like it. He had told the guy exactly what would happen if he broke her heart, but that was all he could do, he had to learn to accept that Rory would bring guys home or he might lose the little girl he loved so much. He looked over at Lorelai who looked like she was thinking about something too, he didn't think he could survive if he lost either one of the Gilmore girls. The older or the younger.
"Luke, what do you think they're going to do?" Lorelai asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, they have the house all to themselves. I know what I did when I was alone in a house with a boy."
"Come on Lorelai, she's only known the boy for a couple of days. Besides Rory is a smart kid" he said,
"Yeah, I trust her. It's him I'm not so sure about"
"They came out of the marked; they're probably watching a movie or something"
"You're probably right. Ok if I stay here a little while? I wasn't needed at the inn, and I should probably give Rory and Logan some alone time, as much as I hate doing that I have to show Rory that I don't have anything against her hanging out with boys alone."
"You can stay here as long as you want" Luke said. Lorelai smiled and within two minutes Lorelai started to tell him about her crazy day at work.
AN: next chapter will be Rory telling Lorelai about the kiss from Logan… Please review, I'll be so very happy when I reach hundred reviews (that doesn't mean you have to stop reviewing when a hundred is reached though)
Love Caroline
