Disclaimer: Haven't you already heard the memo? IT'S NOT MINE! (blasphemy)

Previously: Rory and Luke had lunch at Sniffy's. Lorelai rants about it to Emily. EMILY! Who would have thought?

CHAPTER 4: BASEBALL WITH DADDY

"That was the best meal I have ever had." exclaimed Rory as they head on out. "No offense Luke, but, Wow! That was amazing. I've never tasted anything like that."

Luke chuckled. "Non taken."

"And the sundae was the best. I could still taste the fudge."

"God." said Luke in disgust.

"And Buddy and Maisy were nice too. They kept giving me cakes, and ice creams and a lot of food, which I love by the way."

"They spoil you too much." he says, as they entered the truck.

"No they don't." she replied buckling her seat belt. "So where to next?"

"I don't know."

"Well, let's see. What shall we do? What do you like doing? You know, asides from cooking, fixing things, attending to my and mom's every need?" she joked.

Luke grinned. "Uh, nope. Nothing else. That's all I basically do." he said, playing along.

"Well, let's see." Rory thought. "You like baseball right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, Paris told me that they opened up a new bating cage in Hartford. Let's check it out."

"You want to go to a bating cage?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yeah. You like baseball. And the last time I checked, the bating cage is where you go to practice baseball. Correct?"

"Yeah."

"So let's got."

"You do know that you'll have to try and bat with me."

"Yes. I am well aware of that. But I guess it'll be fun. Just as long as you teach me how and don't let any balls hit my head. We're good."

"Ok. The bating cages it is."

Luke and Rory arrived at the bating cage. At first, Rory was horrified. She tried anything she can just to avoid going inside the cages. But Luke assured her that it would be ok. So she did, and she loved it.

"Did you see that? If we were in a park, I could of hit it all the way across the field." Rory gushed.

Luke looked at her with a proud smile spread across his face. Rory was in the cage, hitting as he watched outside, sitting on the bench.

"Hey Rory?"

"Yeah?" she said, not bother to look behind cause she was too busy concentrating.

"I gotta go to the bathroom. You good here?"

"I'm fabulous."

"Ok. I'll be back." he said then left.

After a few minutes Rory got tired. She turned off the machine, careful not to get hit by any balls on the process, and sat down on the bench outside the cage, drinking water from the water bottle.

"Why hello there." said a young man, who looks not too much older than Rory, and sat down next to her.

"Oh. Hello." said Rory politely.

"So, I've never seen you around here before. You new?"

"You could say that."

"Well I'm James." he said, extending his hand, with a flirtatious smile.

"I'm not interested." Rory said.

"Well, you know, you were pretty good out there." he said, ignoring her statement.

"Thank you."

"Are you a pro? Cause, that was some intense hitting out there. If-"

"Really?" came Luke's voice from behind him. "You know if you want intense I can show you intense." he said, with a glare, his arms folded across his chest. Rory smiled.

"No thank you. I actually wanted this pretty lady over here-"

"You mean my daughter?" he said with a death stare. Rory was filled with happiness at his statement.

James, however, stuttered. "Your…your daughter?"

"Yes. My daughter."

"Oh, well. Uh…well…I guess like father like daughter huh. Ok, well, I gotta go." then James made a dash without even stopping.

Rory sighed in happiness, then launched herself at Luke. "Thank god. He was so annoying."

"Anytime. Hey, sorry about the daughter comment-"

"Don't be. I'm happy that you called me your daughter."

"You are?"

"Yeah. Just like I'm happy to call you my dad." she said shyly.

"Really?"

"Yeah. So, can I? Call you dad?"

"If I can call you my daughter then yes." Rory squealed and hugged Luke some more. After a few moments, they pulled back. "So, this thing was fun, but do you want to leave? I don't want anything like that to happen again."

"Sure." Luke and Rory got changed out of their baseball clothes. After much protest, Rory agreed to let Luke pay for her new baseball attire and gloves and bat.

"But it's father's day. I should be the one to buy you things." Rory said, as they got inside the truck.

"Yes, but I want to get you those stuff."

"I'll pay you back."

"Rory, no. It's my gift to you." Rory opened her mouth, about to say something. "And don't say that you should be the one to give me gifts. I'm giving you these gifts and you will take them. Understood?"

"Ok." Rory pouted. But deep down, she loved it. "So, this was fun."

"Yes it was."

"I never would of thought that I would love playing baseball. And that I would actually be good at it."

"Well, living with your mother for the first 18 years of your life can give you that impression."

"You're right, I blame my mom for never introducing me to this."

"Well if she had, she would just be wining and convincing you that baseball or any kind of sport is bad."

"You're right. But I liked this. I want to do this again."

"Well hey, if you have time, and I have time, how bout we come back here again?"

"I'd love that…dad."

"What?"

"Just testing it out. Sounds right doesn't it?"

"Yeah it does." he says quietly. They looked at each other and smiled. "So, where do you want to go next?"

"I don't know. What else do you want to do?"

Luke thought about it. Then he glanced at his watch. "Hey, it's only 2. Want to go to my cabin near the lake? We can just hang out there, go swimming maybe or fishing. Whatever."

"Your cabin? Really?"

"Yeah. what do you say?"

"I'd love to."

Lorelai had never had a great relationship with her mother. Emily would disapprove of Lorelai's life and her decision. She would never consider her happiness just the reputation of the Gilmore family. But ever since what had happened, Lorelai running away, Rory living with them, then Rory moving out, Emily wanted to have communication and a relationship with Lorelai and Rory. Specially since Lorelai was gonna get married, and they would bring in more kids into the world, Emily would want to be part of their lives since she never got that with Rory.

Lorelai admits that when Emily first started to be part of their lives, trying to accept Lorelai's new lifestyle with Luke, she was a little hesitant. You can never know with Emily Gilmore. But when her mother had shown her that beautiful house that she wanted to buy for her and Luke, Lorelai knew that Emily did try and wants to be part of their lives. That's kind of when their relationship grew.

If someone were to say to Lorelai that she would be asking Emily to do this for her, she would look at that someone like they were crazy.. No way was she letting Emily do that for her. And even if she did, meaning she would have had a brain damage or something, then surely Emily wouldn't even want to. But here she is now, waiting for Emily with her favor. She must be in the twilight zone or something.

Right, so, Milo and Alexis are no longer together. All I have to say is…WHAT THE F> IS THAT ABOUT?

I saw an interview of Alexis Bledel on Regis and Kelly, she said 'No, I'm not with anybody right now' in that oh so sweet way. And I was like, well of course, DUH! Like she'll ever tell. Cause if she does, then people would bug her non stop.

BUT THEN…after watching E! News, which said "Alexis Bledel and her boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia broke up after three years of being together. The two met on the set of Gilmore Girls where Milo played Rory's rebellious boyfriend." And of course, from all your reviews.

And then I was like WHAT THE F>? I really should be more up to date on all the latest news and gossips. The only thing I've been doing this summer is reading, writing fanfics, and babysitting. Wow, I'm living a crazy life. I don't watch TV that much anymore. The only times I watch TV is if, Gilmore Girls is on or The Simple Life (for mocking. Come one, it's Paris Hilton being a lazy ass bitch. Competing against Nicole Richi, another lazy ass bitch.) Or, if something good is on The Filipino Channel. I should watch TV more often.

OXOXOXOXOXOXO

Things I like about this chapter/
+Rory having fun at the batting cages.
+Luke calling Rory 'his daughter'.
+Rory loving being called Luke's daughter.
+Them planning on going to Luke's cabin.
+Explenation for how Lorelai and Emily's relationship came to be.
+When you review and tell me what you like.

Mood: bored

Main thought while writing this chapter;
Isn't it amazing that all rock stars' daughters, or artists daughters (Nicole Richie, Kimberly Stewart) and Paris Hilton are such lazy ass bitches. I mean, just beacuse they're rich, doesn't mean they get to do whatever they want...Well, maybe they do get to do whatever they want, but that's beside the point.(deep sigh) I can't wait for this Monday.
