Authors Note: Wow! It has been like almost a month. Sorry it's been so long. My computer was down for like ever, and I thought I had lost EVERYTHING but thank gosh I didn't. Okay, so here is Chapter 3. Enjoy.
OH BY THE WAY, LORELAI HAS NOT TALKED TO ANNA YET
……………………………………………………………………………………………...
It had been two days since she had seen Luke. He hadn't been back to their house, but why would he after she said such horrible things to him. She needed to talk to him, she couldn't think about anything but him. She had gotten nothing done in two days. She had been living in hell for two days without Luke.
She woke up at 4:45 am on day 3. She looked at the clock and noticed that Luke would be getting up soon if he had early deliveries. She didn't even know if he had any deliveries anymore. They hadn't had a real conversation in months.
She got up and dragged herself to the shower and turned it on a stepped in. She was in there for a while, because when she came out it was already 5:30. Luke would open the diner in 30 minutes. She was going to be the first one there.
She was walking down the street when she saw his truck pull away. She was going to run after him but she saw Caesar flip the closed sign to open and walked his way.
"Oh, hi Lorelai" Caesar said.
"Hey Caesar, where did Luke go?"
"He had to go pick up something. He will be back in about an hour."
"Ok, um, I'm just gonna go wait for him upstairs."
"Ok."
She walked up the stairs and opened the door. She hadn't been up here in a while. She looked around and noticed again that Luke did live here. Not in her house, he lived in an office-turned apartment above his diner. Everything she looked at brought back memories of the two of them.
The "big" bed sitting in front of her, even though he did get the bigger bed, maybe he was going to be a bachelor for life, the shelf in the bathroom, so she would have room for her stuff, and so that he wouldn't have to use her crazy toothpaste anymore. But she had more than just a shelf for him at their house. They had spent thousands of dollars on remodeling the house so that they could live there. Not her, them. There was coffee on the counter. Luke doesn't drink coffee, but he bought it for her, so that she wouldn't have to go downstairs in just his flannel anymore, but she didn't mind wearing only his flannel, especially since it smelled like him. But then, sitting there on the nightstand, she saw the Geometry for Dummies, and everything came rushing back to her. Everything with April and Anna and how they weren't getting married.
She went to lie down on his side of the bed, because it smelled like him, and they hadn't been close since before she postponed the wedding. She must have been tired because she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
A HALF HOUR LATER DOWNSTAIRS.
"Caesar did everything go okay? No more banana incidents I hope." Luke asked walking in the diner.
"Nope, nothing like that Luke, but Lorelai is upstairs."
"SHE IS? SINCE WHEN?" he asked almost yelling.
"Like, a half hour ago. She said she was gonna wait for you up there."
"Thanks" he yelled already half way up the stairs.
When he opened the door he saw he sleeping on his bed. She looked so peaceful. Lately he had realized how much he had really hurt Lorelai. And he was beating himself up inside about it. He sat on the chair in the kitchen and just watched her sleep. He only watched her for about 20 minutes, because then her head shot up from the bed.
"Luke?" she asked
"Hi" he said cautiously.
She looked down at the bed, avoiding his gaze. "I'm sorry."
"Me too."
"Okay, good, so we are both sorry, but his is not over. We still need to talk and figure everything out. We can't just kiss and make up here."
"I agree" Luke said.
"Okay, I'll go first. I think it's great that you want to fit into April's life, and be there for her, believe me I get that, but I'm here too. I'm here for you and for April, she's going to be my step-daughter soon, and I want to be included in things. April is in your life, and I want to be in her life too. I don't want you to have to push me away. You are amazing Luke and if April doesn't want to be around you, than it's her loss. And since you know how amazing you are, and you most defiantly know how amazing I am, just think how amazing we could be when we are with her together."
He was sitting on the chair smiling like a complete loser.
"I want you to be in April's life, and I don't want to push you away anymore. I was just so afraid that she wouldn't want to hang out with me once she met you, and now I see I was wrong. I am so sorry Lorelai for causing you so much pain. I am going to marry you. I wasn't thinking about how this whole thing would affect you, and that's not like me. I am really sorry."
And that's all she need. They were getting married and Luke wasn't going to push her away when it came to April. They could get back on track and finally get married.
"So, we are good?" she asked this time.
"I'm good if you're good." He said
"Get over here" Lorelai said motioning towards the bed.
He smiled and stood up and walked over to her. Things would be okay. They would make it, they were meant to be together. What's meant to be will always find its way.
