Disclaimer- I don't know why they make us keep repeating this. It just depresses us. I don't own it.
Lorelai had pretended to fall asleep, but really she was just thinking. Luke had done so much for them down there in that ship. He had risked his life for them more than once and Lorelai thought he definitely deserved something special. Maybe I should by something that's dirty for me to wear for him? No, that's not good. Well, it's good, but not good enough. Hmm… what could I get him? I have to think of something. I wish I could ask Rory, but she's too far away and I think she is actually sleeping, unlike me. Gee, I am really hungry. What sounds good? A… uh oh no, it can't be. Can it?
Luke continued to think about what he wanted to get Lorelai. He really wanted to get her something special, but what? That's when it hit it. The perfect present. He had just finished it, so it would be a perfect time to show it to her.
"Stars Hollow please." Logan said as they got in. They drove for about half an hour and the taxi pulled up to Lorelai's house. They stepped out of the taxi and saw the whole town waiting for them in front of Lorelai's house.
"Luke!" Kirk screamed and ran up and hugged Luke.
"Kirk, get off of me." Luke grumbled, looking weired out.
Lorelai just laughed. "Looks like someone missed you." She said.
"Luke, my mother kicked me out. She caught me watching a sinful show on TV! I need a place to stay. Can I stay with you and Lorelai?" Kirk asked with hopeful eyes.
"No, Kirk. Now, get off of me." Luke grumbled trying to get away from Kirk.
Rory's cell phone rang while Luke and Lorelai were "talking" to Kirk. "Hello?" She asked in to the receiver.
"Rory, the newspaper is falling apart!" Paris screamed on the other line.
"What?" Rory asked, confused.
"Nobody knows what to do and there's this guy that keeps looking at me weird." Paris rambled. "Stop looking at me you idiot and do your freakin' job!" Rory heard Paris scream at the guy who was looking at her weird.
"Paris, calm down. I can't come now. I promised Mom that me, Luke, Logan, and her would have a movie marathon after what happened." Rory said.
"What happened?" Paris asked, still stressed.
"Paris, how have you not heard? It has to be all over the news! We got caught on the cruise when it tipped over!" Rory said.
Paris either didn't hear what happened or just did not care. "Well unlike some people I actually care about one of the top school's in the country's newspapers!" Paris screamed in to the phone.
"Paris, I had to fight for my life!" Rory said.
"Oh, boohoo. I have to fight for the newspaper's life. One that's been here for a lot longer than you have!" Paris screamed.
Rory sighed. "Fine, Paris, I'll ask my mom if I can leave and go back to school now." Rory said reluctantly.
"Good, great!" Paris said. "What did I tell you about looking at me like that!" Paris screamed at the same guy.
"Bye Paris." Rory said before Paris could yell some more.
"Hey, Ace, what did Paris want?" Logan asked.
"She wants me to come back to school. Something about some guy looking at her weird." Rory said.
"When does someone look at her normally?" Logan asked.
Rory rolled her eyes. "No idea. Are mom and Luke still trying to get rid of Kirk?" Rory asked him.
"Yep." Logan answered.
Rory walked up to Luke, Lorelai, and Kirk.
"For the last time, Kirk, you can not stay here with Lorelai and me!" Luke screamed at Kirk.
Kirk's eyes watered and he ran to Babette, crying.
"Ah, now you hurt his feelings, Lukey." Lorelai teased.
Luke rolled his eyes and turned around to face Rory. "Good, it's you Rory, a sane person." Luke said.
"Yah, yah, I'm sane." Rory said, nervous.
"What's up, babe?" Lorelai asked sensing her daughter's nervousness.
Um, well Paris just called." Rory started.
"Nothing good can come from those words." Luke said.
"Yah, well she needs me to come back to school because apparently the newspaper is falling apart." Rory said.
"Ah, Rory, we were supposed to have a movie marathon tonight!" Lorelai whined.
"I know." Rory said and shifted her weight from one foot to the other.
"We were supposed to eat tons of junk to annoy Luke!" Lorelai said.
"I know." Rory repeated.
"And we were supposed to make the last of the wedding plans!" Lorelai said a little more quietly considering the town was still there.
"I know." Rory repeated again.
"Lorelai, we can make the last of the wedding plans tomorrow." Luke reasoned.
Lorelai sighed. "I guess." She said.
"Thanks, sorry mom." Rory said and hugged Lorelai then Luke.
"Bye Kirk." Logan said.
Kirk ran up to Logan. "Can I stay with you?" He asked.
"I don't even know you, Kirk." Logan said.
"So? You're nice!" Kirk said.
"How do you know I'm not an axe murderer?" Logan asked him.
Kirk got wide eyes and ran towards Babette, seeking comfort.
Logan and Rory walked to the car together and drove towards Yale.
Miss Patty rushed up to Lorelai and Luke. "How are you? What happened? Is everyone okay?" She asked, firing off the questions.
"Patty, we're all okay, just really tired. About we answer all your questions tomorrow?" Lorelai asked putting on a fake smile.
"Or in the next lifetime." Luke mumbled so only Lorelai could hear.
Lorelai bit her lip to keep herself from laughing.
"Oh, okay, dear. Have a safe night." Patty said. Miss Patty led the rest of the town away for the rest of the day.
Luke and Lorelai made their way in to the house and Lorelai started hugging everything in sight.
"I missed you so much, George!" Lorelai said to the couch.
Luke rolled his eyes. "Don't talk to your couch." He said.
Lorelai ignored him and ran to the TV. I miss you too, Libby!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"The television is a girl?" Luke asked, skeptically.
"Yes she is." Lorelai said proudly and petted Libby.
"Wow, Lorelai." Luke said and shook his head at her.
Lorelai then ran in to the kitchen and hugged the coffee pot. "And I missed you the mostest, Luke Jr.!" Lorelai said.
"You did not name a coffee pot after me!" Luke said, appalled.
"What? You make coffee for me, he makes coffee for me, what's wrong?" Lorelai asked. "Yours is a little better though, but don't tell him that because he's learning." Lorelai said and petted Luke Jr.
"You're unbelievable." Luke said.
"Thank you for noticing." Lorelai said.
Luke decided to change the subject to something other than objects with names. "So, I was thinking that we should go out tonight to celebrate." Luke started.
"Celebrate what?" Lorelai asked, distracted because she was hugging her mug of coffee and kissing it because she hadn't had a cup of coffee in 5 days.
"Being alive." Luke deadpanned.
"Oh, if it's just that." Lorelai said sarcastically and closed her eyes and inhaled the smell of her coffee.
"Anyways, I will pick you up at seven." Luke said.
"Which really means…?" Lorelai trailed off for him to finish.
"Seven fifteen." Luke said.
"Exactly. Good boy." Lorelai said and kissed him.
"Okay, see you tonight." Luke said and leaned in for another kiss.
When Luke was about to pull away from the kiss, Lorelai pulled him back in. She then deepened the kiss. Luke backed her up against the counter in a full out make-out session. Both pulled away breathing heavily.
"Wait till tonight." Lorelai said and smiled seductively.
"Looking forward to it." Luke said and pecked her once and pulled away before it could go deeper and he reluctantly went back to the diner.
Since Lorelai did not have to go back to the inn that afternoon, she tried to occupy herself from the one thing that was hanging over her head. She sat down on the couch and pulled out an old copy of People. She skimmed through the pages but nothing caught her interest. She then tried playing with Paul Anka who was hiding, but he just kept hiding and sleeping.
"You're no fun." Lorelai mumbled to her dog.
Finally after many attempts to distract herself she got fed up and drove to Woodbridge. She found a pharmacy and marched in there, a woman on a mission. She marched to that aisle and grabbed the first test she saw, the test that would decide everything. She paid for the test and went home, trying to keep her mind off that.
Once she got home, she paced her living room for what must have been 20 minutes. She was losing her nerve. But then images of Rory's childhood came to her mind.
Lorelai was sitting in an old rocking chair Mia gave to her in the potting shed at the Independence Inn. Six month year old Rory was in her arms. Lorelai was humming a song to Rory, trying to get her to go to sleep.
"Rory, please, go to sleep for mommy." Lorelai begged her daughter, despite the fact Rory probably could not even understand what she saying.
Rory looked up at Lorelai with her big blue baby eyes and reached out for her mother. Lorelai was a goner. She loved this little girl so much. She meant the world to her. Lorelai brought Rory up to her chest and hugged her.
"I love you, kid." Lorelai told her.
Rory just burped in response, causing Lorelai to laugh.
Lorelai sat in that same rocking chair, only three months older. Rory was standing, but holding on to a table in the potting shed.
"Come on, baby, walk to mommy." Lorelai coaxed.
And Rory did it. She took her first step, then her second, and her third, until she landed in Lorelai's arms.
"There you go, baby! Good job. Mommy's so proud of you!" Lorelai exclaimed.
And her first words came right after Lorelai had exclaimed her praise to Rory. "Mommy, coffee!" Rory said and Lorelai laughed hard, knowing her little girl would take after her with a coffee addiction.
Lorelai was standing in the kindergarten classroom at Stars Hollow Elementary School on Rory's first day of school. Rory was standing behind her mother's leg, hiding, while Lorelai talked to her teacher.
"And who is this little girl?" Rory's teacher asked and bent down to Rory's height.
"I'm Rory." Rory said shyly.
"Well, hi, there. We're going to have lots of fun together. We're going to learn the alphabet today." Rory's teacher told her.
"I already know the alphabet; mommy taught it to me." Rory said proudly.
The teacher looked surprised. "Wow, well then you're going to be a step ahead of everyone else. Come on, let's go play." The teacher said and took Rory's hand and led her in to the classroom. Lorelai watched her little go, sad that she was growing up so fast.
"Mommy, I itch everywhere." Eleven year old Rory complained to Lorelai.
"I know, hunny. I'm sorry. Is there anything I can get you?" Lorelai asked, feeling sorry for her daughter who had the chicken pocks.
"I want mashed potatoes!" Rory exclaimed.
"Babe, you know mommy doesn't cook." Lorelai said.
"Oh, that's okay." Rory said but Lorelai could tell she was disappointed.
"On second thought, how about I call Luke and have him make us some?" Lorelai suggested.
"Yay! I like Luke." Rory said.
"Yah, so do I." Lorelai said softly. "I'll go call him." Lorelai said and went in to the kitchen to call Luke.
"Luke's." Luke answered the phone with.
"Luke? Rory's sick and she only wants mashed potatoes!" Lorelai blurted out.
"Lorelai, what?" Luke asked.
"Rory's sick and she's wants mashed potatoes but I can't cook but she really wants them. Will you make them for her?" Lorelai rambled.
"I'll be right over." Luke said and hung up and ran to the kitchen to make Rory some mashed potatoes.
Luke arrived at the Gilmores house 20 minutes later with 2 big bowls of mashed potatoes. He knocked on the door and met a frazzled Lorelai when she opened it. Lorelai pulled him inside and brought him in to Rory's room.
"Rory, hunny, Luke is here with mashed potatoes." Lorelai whispered to her daughter while sitting on her bed.
"Luke?" Rory asked weakly.
"Yah, it's me. I brought mashed potatoes. I'll go put them on a plate for you." Luke said and went to get a plate for Rory.
"Luke came?" Rory asked Lorelai.
"Yah, he came." Lorelai answered.
"He's one great guy." Rory said and shut her eyes.
"That he is." Lorelai said and sighed.
Lorelai and 13 year old Rory were sitting in the diner eating burgers at the lunch rush. Luke was buzzing around all the tables trying to fill people's orders.
"Mom, why don't you ever date?" Rory asked randomly.
Lorelai was caught off guard. "Oh, um, I don't know." Lorelai answered evasively.
"Why don't you? I mean, I'm a teenager now. I know that you're gonna date, but I don't ever see any of the guys." Rory stated.
"Well, I don't date that often, babe, but when I do I don't usually introduce them to you unless I think it could go somewhere." Lorelai answered.
"So, none of your relationships in the past 13 years have gone anywhere?" Rory asked.
"They weren't really relationships, just dates." Lorelai said uncomfortably.
"I think you should date Luke." Rory stated and nibbled on her fry while looking at Luke.
"What?" Lorelai asked, surprised.
"I think you should date Luke." Rory repeated. "You obviously like him and he likes you and Luke is just like a father figure to me. It would be nice if you dated him." Rory said and shrugged.
"Yah, it would be nice." Lorelai said and looked at Luke. He smirked at her, causing her to blush.
Lorelai stopped reminiscing and decided to call Rory for encouragement.
"Hello?" Rory answered.
"I might be pregnant." Lorelai blurted out to Rory.
"What!" Rory said.
"I might be pregnant." Lorelai whispered.
"How could you know? We just got done fighting for our lives 6 hours ago!" Rory exclaimed.
"I don't know, I'm just guessing." Lorelai said.
"Well, let's think rationally about this. Did you buy a test?" Rory asked.
"Uh, yes." Lorelai said.
"Well, then take it!" Rory said.
"But, I'm nervous." Lorelai said.
"What for? You and Luke love each other and you're going to get married in a couple of weeks. You should be happy." Rory said.
"Yah, you're right. I'm gonna go take it." Lorelai said.
"Good girl. Bye, mom. I love you and good luck." Rory said.
"Thanks, hun. Love you too." Lorelai said.
Lorelai hung up the phone and went to go take the test, the test that would decide everything.
