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?
So this is it. The end of the road. The end of the story at least. Sorry about the lack of updates as of late. England makes it virtually impossible to update. I have no time to write! But I hope you guys like it.
Lorelai had truly forgotten what it was like to sleep in Luke's arms and when she awoke the next morning, she had discovered she had slept almost thirteen hours. That was something only happened after a dance marathon, or some long involved movie marathon.
She hadn't noticed how tired she had been, but her eyes sprang open rejuvenated. No evidence of morning sickness and all she could do was sigh and inhale Luke. That sounded a little dirty or gross, but to her it was…perfect.
Things had been going on for way too long. She was tired of being mad and hurt and angry and disappointed. She just wanted to be with him, and she wanted him to smile at her once again. She wiggled a little, trying to ignore the ever-growing need to go pee. Luke moaned in her ear and she grinned evilly.
She knew that sex isn't some magic band aid, it didn't work the last time she tried it, but this time, her only reasoning, was that she really wanted it. Now that she was in her second trimester of pregnancy, it was something on her mind all the time. And it was only with Luke.
Luke smiled in his sleep and nuzzled, his head tucked more into Lorelai's chest and she chuckled. Luke did the dirtiest things in his sleep.
'Luke…' she whispered and he sleepily mumbled back to her. 'mmmm' she smiled, and brushed a strand of hair away from his forehead. 'Luke, I need to go pee.' She whispered, and he shook his head. 'too comfortable.' He said and then sighed and moved so she could slip away.
Lorelai wondered if they would be doomed to be hurt and angry and frustrated for half the time and then working out their problems through sex. When she came back Luke was staring lucidly at her.
'How's the arm?' She asked him instead. He smiled. 'Thanks for taking care of that.' He said and she shrugged. 'no problem.' She says and they both sit silently on the bed.
'So I think we need to talk things through.' Luke said after awhile. Lorelai nodded. 'Your right, we do.' Luke opened his arms so Lorelai could snuggle up to him. 'I was an ass Lorelei, I was … I can't even start to begin to comprehend my actions.' He said and Lorelai smiled.
'I know Luke.' She says and the sudden need to make him suffer had gone. She didn't know when it started to dissipate, but it was gone. She was tired, and she didn't want to be alone anymore. 'It can never go back that way.' Lorelai said in a low tone.
' I know I never..' Luke started but Lorelei interrupted him. 'I know you never meant to, but the minute that you begin to separate your life and my life again, I won't be as patient.' Lorelai says.
Luke accepts that and he tells her so. 'It's not just us anymore Luke. In five months, there will be a baby, and I need to know that I can depend on you. I will not have another Christopher in my life.' Lorelai said and Luke also agreed.
'Good.' Lorelai said and smiled and leaned in to kiss him. But he stopped her. 'There are some things I need from you.' Luke said and Lorelei looked at him surprised.
'I want to know when your upset, I'm not a mind reader. If you want something, need something, you have to talk to me.'
Of course Lorelai accepted that. She knew that being silent and waiting for him to initiate something, was not something that couples did. She knew that he couldn't possibly read her mind, even if he knew her so well.
'I need you to understand that I want you and April to have a relationship, and I want our child to have a relationship with April, just like they will have a relationship with Rory, but I need to follow Anna's rules.' Luke had said.
Lorelai nodded. 'I accept that, but if I see her pushing you around because of it, I'm sorry I am going to say something. I won't butt in on parenting issues, I will leave that up to the both of you. But I won't let your rights be taken advantage of.' Lorelai said simply, and Luke just nodded.
'So we're ok?' Luke asked after Lorelei had mauled Luke enough for her raging pregnancy hormones. 'Yeah we are ok?' He leaned down and rubbed Lorelei's stomach. 'We are more than ok.'
"I Love you Lorelai' Luke whispered to Lorelai long after he thought she had fallen asleep. She smiled in her sleep and muttered 'I love you too Luke.'
The lovers fells asleep, with the knowledge that everything would be ok.
The End.
