A/N: Thank you for all of your wonderful reviews! I know I was gonna post another one after my graduation next week, but since you all gave me such great reviews, I decided to post one today. I have some free time anyways.

A/N: As for my other story, don't worry. But I'll have to post the next chapter for that one after grad. I have my first draft ready. But I have to re-write some things cause, like I said somewhere, it won't make sense to all of you readers, unless you're me or my friend. But it is good. So, probably next weekend, I'll have a new chapter for that one.

Rory slowly crept inside their room. She smiled at the sight before her. Her mother and father, together, in their bed, snuggled up, with a content smile on their face. And thank god they have clothes on. She knew that the possibility of them being naked was very high. She couldn't believe it. Her mom and dad, together, in their bed, in their house. Sleeping soundly very happy. It was a shame that she had to break that up in 3...2...1!

"WAKE UP!" she shouted jumping on the bed. "Come on. Rise and shine!" she shouted, still jumping up and down.

Luke and Lorelai groaned. "Too early." Lorelai mumbled.

"It's 7:00 in the morning." reasoned Rory.

"I repeat. It's too early." responded Lorelai, looking at her with squinted eyes. "What are you doing up anyway? And why are you so hyper? How many coffee's have you had?"

"Non." she smiled.

Lorelai looked at her jaw dropped. "How could you be energetic in the morning without coffee? Luke, what have you done with our daughter?" she looked at Luke who's eyes are still closed, trying to get some rest, despite the fact that Rory was jumping up and down. "Luuuuuukkkkeeee!"

"What?" he grumbled.

"Your daughter is very annoying."

Luke opened his eyes and looked at Rory. Rory stopped jumping and looked at Luke with a triumphant smile. "Finally got me, huh?" he smirked.

"Yes Idid! Ha! I told you I would get you someday!" she yelled, resuming to her jumping.

Lorelai looked at Luke in confusion. "She does this to you?"

"She tries. But she never succeeds."

"Until now." chimed in Rory.

"How lovely. Is this why you wanted us to get dressed last night after….?"

"Yes." he sighed

"And thank you for doing so." she smiled. Then she got off the bed. "Ok, now that you two are all awake I am gonna go back downstairs and start the coffee. You guys get ready. Mom, you and I have a very big day." she smiled. "Hurry!" she said before she left.

Once the door shut closed, Lorelai went back to snuggling next to Luke. "You've turned our daughter into a morning person." she stated. Luke smiled at the 'our' daughter comment. "When did that started happening?"

Luke shrugged. "She woke up, one time, before me, and then thought it would be fun to wake me up that way. And ever since then she's been doing that every time she sleeps here. But I always knows when she comes in so I always get her first."

"Aw. That's sweet." she mumbled. She kissed him good morning. He smiled and kissed her back. She kissed him more and the kiss became heated. Luke shifted so he could be on top of her. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Luke kissed her hard and was about to kiss her lower to her neck when…"And no funny business." came Rory's yell from downstairs.

Luke sighed and rolled off Lorelai. "Hey, where are you going mister? Get back here." she demanded, kissing him again.

"Lorelai, as much as I would love to, and trust me I really would love to, but our daughter is downstairs. She's got this day planned already. And I have to go to the diner."

"But Luuukkkee! We have to have great good morning sex. We haven't had one of those in 8 months." she pouted.

"I know, but we kind of overslept. And you have a schedule. And we need to get a shower."

Lorelai suddenly perked up. "Ooohhh. Sex in the shower. I've miss those."

"Lorelai" Luke groaned.

"Luke. You're honestly telling me that you didn't like them?" she teased.

Luke looked at her but didn't say anything. Lorelai smiled, knowing the answer. "I'll get the water ready." she says in a seductive tone, walking towards the bathroom. Luke smiled and shook his head.

"Did she ever date anybody?" asked Rory.

"No. She's got offers. Tons of them. But she wouldn't even think about anybody else." replied Julie.

"Of course she wouldn't. she loves dad too much." smiled Rory. She was sitting in the kitchen at the inn, talking with Julie. Sookie was again frantic with breakfast preparations.

After Luke and Lorelai got ready, Luke left for the diner and the girls left for a tour of the town. As usual, nothing changed. everything was still the same. But even so, Lorelai still wanted to see the town again. It has been 8 months after all. Everyone greeted them as they walked by. Everyone said their respective hello's and we've missed you's. all eyes were on them as they ate in the diner. They would whisper stuff to each other. Some would go up to them and chat.

After they ate, Rory headed off at the inn while Lorelai stayed. She wanted to hang out with Luke more since today was gonna be an all girls day. Rory had no objections. Once at the inn, Rory immediately went to the desk to check if there was anything worth looking at. papers and such. When she found nothing, obviously Michel took care of it, she went into the kitchen and found Julie hanging out there. She stayed and chatted with her.

"Does she always think about dad while she was there?" Rory asked.

"Yeah. Every single day. She won't admit it but she does. Every night I would walk by her room and I would hear her crying. When I check up on her she says it was nothing or that she misses you. Which is true, she does, but I also know that she misses Luke also."

"I know what you mean. dad has been very lonely while mom was gone. every time, before we go to sleep, he would always look at a picture of mom."

"Yeah. Lorelai too. I saw a picture under her pillow once. She always keeps it there. It was a picture of her, you and Luke. She said it was on your graduation. The day she made a huge mistake by telling Luke to go on some kind of cruise with his girlfriend and they ended up being married."

"Yeah. I remember when she found out, she was wallowing like crazy. Even though there was no reason in wallowing then. They weren't together and she wouldn't even admit that she has feelings for dad. You know if we had known you when that had happened you would have had gotten her to realize her feelings for dad, earlier."

"Yeah. I probably would of. You know Lorelai said the same thing to me when she told me about Luke getting married?"

"She did?"

"Yeah. She said I would of came in handy every time she was in denial about her feelings for Luke. Cause I can always make her see that she was in denial and that she does love him."

"That's true."

"Hey, where is your mom anyways?"

"The last time I checked she was at the diner. Let me call her." replied Rory, getting her cell and dialed the diner's number.

"Luke's." came a feminine voice.

"Hey Lane, it's Rory, is mom there?"

"Um, yeah. She's here. Er, well, she's upstairs with your dad."

"Oh. She is? What are they doing up there?"

"Well, i really don't want to think about it cause they've been up there since you left."

Rory laughed. "Ok. Thanks Lane." she said hangning up.

"So, where is she?" asked Julie.

"She's upstairs in dad's old apartment. Apparently, her and dad has been there ever since I left."

"Oh." giggled Julie.

"So, we never got to talk about your grandparents." said Lorelai as she relaxed in her chair.

"What's there to tell?" replied Rory, really not happy of the subject of her grandparents. Lorelai didn't notice her fumed expression cause she had cucumbers in her eyes, but she could tell by Rory's voice that something was up.

"Well, how are they? What are they up to nowadays?"

"When did you suddenly become a fan of Emily and Richard?"

"I'm not. I'm just curious at what happened to them. What happened between you two."

"Nothing. I left. They're ok. They'll deal." she snapped.

"Hey, hun, calm down. I just wanted to know what happened. Did you three have a fight or something?"

Rory sighed. "When I left, I told them I would move back in with you. They were ok with it. I mean, they were disappointed but they were ok. But when they found out that you left and that I was living with dad, they flipped and demanded me to come back to the mansion. I didn't oblige and I'm not really in communication with hem that much. Unless they have some family dinners that needed my appearance since you weren't here. I didn't want to go but dad made me. He said they are still my grandparents."

"Well he is right. I mean I wouldn't of had a problem with not seeing them anymore but I wouldn't want you to be apart from them."

"It doesn't matter. You're here now and I have dad. I'm happy with my life."

"Me too."

When Lorelai and Rory came home, they were greeted with the delicious smell of lasagna in the house. Apparently Luke went all out with the dinner. He wanted to try out his recipe for lasagna again. And he was happy to say that he found the perfect sauce for it too.

The three had a wonderful dinner. And then they watched some television and then they tucked Rory in. Rory loved that it was both of them tucking her in. it was very childlike but she never experienced having a father tuck her in. it was always her mom. But she loved having Luke do it. And she loved it even more when both of them were doing it. It felt like it was such a normal thing, like they have been doing it ever since.

After Lorelai and Luke tucked Rory in, Lorelai immediately went to bed. Luke on the other hand came down to check on Rory some more.

"Hey hun." he said as he walked in her room.

"Hey dad." she greeted him, putting her book down as he sat next to her.

"Why are you still awake?"

"I can ask you the same thing. Where's mom?"

"She claims she is so relaxed that she needs to rest so the relaxation in her body wouldn't go away."

Rory giggled. "Oh mom. So what are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see how you are. You had a fun day?"

"Very." she smiled. She looked at him with a twinkle in her eyes. Luke sighed. He knows what's coming. "Dad, tell me a story."

"Weren't you just reading?"

"Yes, but that was War and Peace. I want to hear a story from you. You didn't tell me one last night."

Lorelai walked down the stairs into the kitchen. She was getting some water at the same time looking for Luke. He didn't go to bed with her. Sure she wanted to keep her relaxed body, but she had other ways of keeping her body relaxed.

She went to get her water when she heard Rory in her room talking to Luke.

"Tell me a story please." she pouted. Even with the door closed, and she couldn't see them, Lorelai could tell she was pouting. And she could tell Luke was sighing in defeat. Is it just me? Or has my daughter turned three? She thought, giggling.

"Fine. What story do you want to hear?"

"My favorite." I wonder how many stories Luke has told her? I wonder what they're about? Lorelai thought, still listening in.

"You're favorite? Which one? You have so many. It seems like all of them are your favorite."

"They are not. I just happen to really like them all. But there are some that I like the most."

"Just some?" he challenged.

"Not that much." she argued.

"Really? Your mom and I's first date? Our first kiss? Our first fight over coffee? The first time I met you? The first time I fixed things in your house? When we had that picnic from that bid a basket thing? Liz's wedding? When I brought over the chuppah? When I made the chuppa?…" Rory rolled her eyes as Luke continued to list all the stories that are Rory's favorites.

Lorelai smiled. He tells stories about us. That is so sweet.

"When Rachelle left…" Now why would he tell that story? Lorelai thought bitterly. Then she remembered why Rachelle left. She smiled.

"What I was thinking when I married Nicole?…"Lorelai flinched at the mention of Nicole. She didn't know what the story for that one was, she'd have to ask Rory about that one later. It must be good if it's on Rory's favorite list.

"The first time your mom and I met?…"

"That one!" Rory exclaimed. "I wanna hear that one!"

"Again?" Rory nodded. "But I just told you that one two nights ago."

"But I love that story."

"Yeah, like all the other stories."

"Please daddy."

"Fine." he sighed. He settled next to Rory and started to tell her the stories. "It was in the middle of breakfast when this woman stormed in the diner in a coffee frenzy." Lorelai smiled at the memory. So did Rory when she saw the look her dad had whenever he told this story. "I was taking orders and she just came up to me and started talking non stop. Rambling god knows what. I told her to shut up, sit down, I'll get to her when I get to her. But she still kept on talking. I still ignored her. She asked me what my birthday was, I wouldn't tell her. She bugged me until I caved and told her my birthday. Then she tore a piece from the newspaper and she wrote something on it. She gave it to me. And it said, under Scorpio, 'you will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she'll go away'"

"But she didn't go away." Rory finished. Lorelai smiled and went back to the memory of their first date.

"No she didn't." Luke smiled. "I gave her coffee. She told me to keep the horoscope it might bring me luck someday."

"And it did. 8 years later it did. But still. There were some luck in that horoscope."

"Yeah. But even before your mom and I got together, I was still pretty lucky. I mean, I got to meet you. and your mom and I became great friends."

"That is true. Dad? I just wanted to thank you for always being with me. Specially these past 8 months. You never left me."

"Oh, honey. I would never leave you."

"I know, but I feel like I've been such a burden to you. I was depending on you and you just gave me whatever I needed. I mean, I'm not even your daughter." Rory choked when saying that.

"Rory, you may not be my real daughter. But I love you like my own. You know that? You are my first daughter, you always have."

"I know dad. And you've always been my father. I just wanted to let you know, that even if mom is here now, It doesn't mean I don't need you. I still need you. I need you to be here. I need my dad. And my mom. I need both of you."

"I know you do hon. And me and your mom are here to help you with whatever you need."

"Thanks dad. I love you."

"I love you too honey." he smiled then kissed her on her forehead.

Outside, Lorelai was leaning her back against the wall. Tears rolling down her face. She quietly walked upstairs and settled herself into the bed.

Luke walked in their bedroom to find Lorelai sitting up on the bed just staring at nothing.

"Lorelai." he said.

"I've missed a lot Luke." she says quietly.

"What are you talking about?" he asks, sitting next to her.

"Rory? You? I've missed a lot. Everything's changed."

"Lorelai, I don't understand."

"I feel like I don't know you guys anymore. I mean, a lot has changed. you guys have your routine. She gives you an unpleasant wake up call, she works part time at the diner and part time at the inn. You tuck her in and tell her stories about us."

"You know about that?"

"I heard you guys. I mean, I missed it. The whole package. I missed it. I wasn't here to see it happen."

"Lorelai-"

"Luke I love you." she says quietly, touching his cheeks.

"I love you too." he whispered, leaning in to kiss her. She smiled and kissed him back with ferocity. She leaned back to lay her head on the pillow and pulled Luke on top of her. She just love the weight of him, she just feels so safe and so secure.

"Hey Luke?" Lorelai asked, breathlessly, as Luke trailed fiery kisses down her neck. He grunted in response. "What were you thinking when you married Nicole?"

I know this chapter was really nothing. I mean, nothing really happens in it. Not that much. I just really need to fill this void, something to lead into the next chapter. So thanks for putting up with this. I still hope you liked it. Let me know in your review,
