We're not going to take this!
Disclaimer: I own nothing! I am just obsessing about it per usual.
Summary: why won't Lorelai assert some control over her spinning out of control life? What if she does? How would Luke take it?
Who else felt a little disappointed during the finale? I know a lot of people said how upset they are about it, but I was kinda expecting more….
Sorry about the delays, I was in Florida, and my mom is an Internet whore, and was on it pretty much all the time, so I had to sneak out and write in the dark. But I'm back!
Luke sighed as Lorelai snuggled closer to him and he smiled. He never thought in a million years that bringing Lorelai here would result in this. Sheets completely off the bed, with Lorelai on top of him, naked. He knew that things weren't solved, and that soon they would have to talk.
He knew that his excuse was paltry, and that soon she would stop believing it. But what could he say. He was stupid and oblivious and a jackass, and that was it. No underlying reason, no ulterior motive, nothing. Just pure unadulterated stupidity.
She sighed. 'God Luke.' She whispered and started to giggle. He smiled and smoothed her hair and continued to contemplate what he was going to say. He wished she would accept that he just didn't notice. He didn't notice that she was upset and hurt, and he certainly didn't notice that she was dying a little. He simply was just amazed that he could have a daughter, and now he was going to be a father again.
'I can't believe that my kids will be 22 years apart. That's kind of weird isn't it?' Lorelei asked and Luke had to chuckle at that. 'I guess we don't have to deal with a jealous sister?' Luke said and they both chuckled at that thought.
Suddenly things became quiet and awkward. Lorelai knew that they would have to talk about things. 'Luke you know..' she started but fell silent, unsure of how to proceed. She had been so caught up in her outrage, pain and anger that she never really thought on how they could fix this.
'I know.' He said. Well aware that soon he couldn't stop putting it off. Lorelai sighed and they both lay there, struggling to find what they wanted to say. Lorelai wondered how things could be fixed. 'This isn't going to help anything you know.'
Luke shifted uncomfortably. 'So before you were just.' and Lorelai shrugged, hair falling in her face. 'I never want you to think that one of us is better than the other. Didn't that book teach you that live is about equality?' She asked and Luke smiled coyly.
'Luke, I can't act like I'm happy. I can't forgive and forget with the explanation that you thought that April wouldn't pay attention to you, I just can't. I've been miserable for way to long. I need to set an example.' Lorelai said and shifted away from Luke, finally breaking the contact they both wanted.
'I don't know if I can do that Lorelai.' Luke said and she just glared at him. ' I don't get why you think that you have the right to suddenly cut me off at the knees and expect me to act like nothing is wrong.' Lorelei got up and got up without much thought to her nudity, and gathered her clothes.
'You act like I did the wrong thing, but what would you do if you were in my shoes. Huh Lorelai' Luke yelled as he watched his once fiancée run a round trying to gather her clothes and dignity. 'Don't forget that I was once in your shoes Luke. I was suddenly a mother, and I had to tell my parents, my teachers, everyone, that all that potential I had, was gone cause I had to be a mother. And I hid it, and I saw what it did.'
Luke just sat and watched Lorelai get ready to leave, and he had prepared for this. She had nowhere to go. She couldn't escape. 'It's different Lorelei, I'm not a teenage girl, I had a lot more going on then you could ever imagine.' Luke said and Lorelai scoffed.
'Wow, way to endear yours here Luke. Look, you need to tell me right here and now, if you had the chance to do it all over again, would you tell me at least earlier? Because that's the real issue here.'
Luke looked at her and he may have the chance to save his relationship, or he could tell her the truth. He sighed, she could tell anyways so why bother. He looked at her, almost pleadingly, to not make him answer, but she crossed her arms over her now dressed torso.
'Luke, either tell me now, or I will call Rory and get her to pick me up, hell I'll walk my way home if I have to. But I need an answer.'
He sighed and scratched the back of his head in an awkward gesture. He knew there was no way to escape this. So he sighed and said in the most pleading of tones. 'No.' Lorelai eyes filled with tears and she nodded a few times, and stumbled out of the room and he could hear her pick up the phone in the living room, probably calling in the reinforcements.
Everything was quiet and he didn't dare move. He had put on pants of course, but apart from that, he was unguarded and worried. Finally she came back into the room and he got up quickly to either guard himself from harm or beg her to not leave.
'I'm sorry Luke, but I'm leaving. Like I said I need to be an example. For my daughter, and even this one in here.' She said and ran her hand lightly over her still flat abdomen.
'I'll let you know when it's born.' She said and then turned to leave, but stopped. 'That was mean, I'll see you around town in a few days.' and turned around and left the cabin, before Luke could stop her and waited down the road a little bit.
Luke just watched his last chance walk out the door, not realizing that he wouldn't see Lorelai for much longer than a few days.
