Special thanks to Shawn-n-Bell and CherryKisses188.

After Lorelai left the hardware store she was walking on air. She was so happy. Everything was great. Who knew Luke was such a good kisser? Her happiness was short lived however. She saw a car approaching from up the street. Who would have a jaguar in Stars Hollow? She thought. Suddenly her eyes widened and she put her hand over her mouth. Oh no. oh my god. She thought. It couldn't be. Could it? She quickly hid behind a bunch of trees and heard the car pass. She let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the tree. Her heart was pounding and her mind was racing. Could that have been...her parents? She shuddered at the thought. She sat down on the ground and began pulling out grass. What should she do? For once in her life she did not have a plan. She sat there for a while and her pile of grass was quite large. So finally she got up, dusted herself off and walked to the inn. When she got there she saw the all too familiar car. She looked around for a sign of her parents and when the coast was clear she ran over to the potting shed. She walked over to her bed and collapsed on it. Then a thought occurred to her. Where was Rory? Mia had her. Did her mother see Rory? "Dammit!" she yelled. She sprang up and looked out the window. She saw Mia holding Rory walking with her mother to her car. The women talked for a minute and then Emily got in her car and drove off. Lorelai decided it was safe so she ran over to the inn.

"Mia!" Lorelai called.

"Hello sweetie." Mia said handing her Rory. Lorelai brought the child close to her and kissed her. "You just missed your mother."

"Oh, really." Lorelai said uncomfortably. "Well that's a shame."

Mia looked at Lorelai doubtfully. "Well, anyway, do you think you are ready to start working again? I don't want to force you too, only if you're ready."

Lorelai was still a bit shocked and distracted but she gathered herself. "Yeah. I think I'm ready. Can I bring Rory with me? I feel like I haven't seen her in awhile."

"Sure." Mia smiled.

Lorelai took the tiny baby and headed upstairs. After a full day of making beds , fixing up rooms and caring for Rory, Lorelai was exhausted. However, she was rejuvenated when she came the stairs and she saw Luke waiting her.

"Hey there." she said, walking over to him.

"Hey." he said. "Hi Rory."

"She's sleeping." Lorelai said. "I was just going to put her in her crib. Wanna come?"

He nodded and followed her out to the shed. Lorelai put Rory down in her bed and looked up at Luke.

"So..." she started. She moved closer to him.

"Yeah..." he said

"Yesterday was..."

"Amazing."

"Yes. Amazing."

They both moved closer and Luke wrapped his arms around her waist as Lorelai put her hands on his back. Their lips fell on to each others and they kissed passionately. Lorelai guided Luke over to her bed. They sat down, their lips still together. Slowly they lied down and Lorelai wrapped her legs around his. She moved her hands to his chest and began unbuttoning his shirt. When the first few buttons had opened she kissed his chest. Luke began moving his lips down her neck and then to the top of her chest. When he did this she let out a soft groan. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. They sprang apart and Lorelai quickly walked over to the door. She ran her hands through her hair as she opened the door.

"Hi!" Liz said

"Oh, hi." Lorelai said, still trying to fix her appearance.

Luke made his way to the door. "Liz what are you doing here?" he said slightly agitated.

"Dad says you need to come home for dinner." she looked at his opened shirt. Ewwwwwwww! she thought.

"Oh, ok. Bye Lorelai. I'll see ya later." He lightly glided his hand along her waist and her body tingled.

"Bye." She flashed a small smile.

Liz giggled the whole way home. Luke became increasingly annoyed and when they got home before they went in, Luke exploded.

"What the hell is so damn funny!" Luke yelled.

Most kids would be frightened by this. But not Liz. It just made her laugh more.

"LIZ!" Luke yelled again.

"What were you guys doin' in there?"

"What?" Luke asked, shocked.

"Never mind I don't even want to know."

Luke frowned. "We weren't doing anything."

"Whatever." Liz rolled her eyes and opened the door.

"Hello you two." William greeted.

"Luke made out with Lorelai in the shed." Liz blurted and ran up the stairs.

"Dammit Liz!" Luke yelled up the stairs. Then he turned to his father. "Dad, really nothing happened."

William smiled. "It's ok. She seems nice. And she's pretty." William saw Luke heading upstairs. "Luke...leave your sister alone."

He huffed and went upstairs and slammed the door. Liz really needs to get a life. He thought. All she cares about is my relationship with Lorelai. After he had calmed downhe got up and walked to Liz's room. He knocked and opened the door. She was sitting at her desk making bracelets.

"Hey Liz." Luke said.

She turned around. "Hi."

"These bracelets are really nice." Luke said as he picked one up and admired it.

"Sorry."

Luke sighed. "Why do you care so much about my relationship with Lorelai?"

She shrugged as she reached for some beads. "I dunno."

"Well can you not be so ..." he stopped himself. "Ok. I'll see ya later then." He turned around and headed for the door.

"She makes you happy." Liz said quickly.

"What?"

"She makes you happy." Liz said again. "I've never seen you as happy as you are with her."

"So...that's why you make fun of me?" Luke asked, confused.

"I like seeing you happy. It's the happiest I've seen you since..."

"Since what?"

"Since mom died." Liz said softly.

They both fell quiet for a little. Luke put his arm around his sister. "So you just like seeing me and Lorelai together?"

"Yeah I guess. It makes me happy to see you happy."

"You got a weird way of showing you care, kid."

Liz laughed. "I know. I am sorry about all the teasing and stuff."

"It's ok."

They hugged and Luke went back into his room. He lied down on his bed and thought about what Liz had said. I've never seen you as happy as you are with her. It was true. Whenever he looked into her eyes he felt weak at the knees. He wondered if these new found feeling were love. Could he be in love with her? He didn't know what it felt like to be in love.

The next morning Luke walked over to the inn. He had to talk to Lorelai about their relationship. Well, so far their relationship had only consisted of two make out sessions. He wasn't sure where they stood.

"Hey Mia." Luke said as he entered the inn.

"She's in the potting shed." Mia said already aware of why he was there.

"Oh, thanks." He walked over to the shed and knocked on the door.

"Hey." Lorelai said holding Rory and a bottle.

"I was wondering if we could talk, but if you're busy then.."

"I'm not busy. I'm just feeding Rory."

Lorelai walked over to her bed and sat down. Luke sat next to her and shook his foot nervously.

"So..." Lorelai started. "You wanted to talk."

"Oh, yeah. Ummmm...I was just wondering what you consider us."

"Humans? Male and female?" Lorelai joked.

Luke laughed slightly. "You know what I mean."

Lorelai looked down at her feet. She saw Rory was done with her bottle so she decided to use this time to stall. She walked over and placed the bottle in the sink and put Rory over her shoulder and patted her on the back. The baby burped a few times and Lorelai placed her in her crib. She sat down next to Luke and resumed staring at her feet. She wanted to say that she really liked Luke. Really really liked him. But what if he didn't feel the same?

"Ummm...I guess since we have kissed and made out and stuff..."Lorelai started. She looked over at him. "I guess that would make us boyfriend/girlfriend..."

Luke smiled. He was hoping she would say that. He pulled her closer to him and she put her head on his shoulder. "Well, since we're dating I guess we should go out on a date." Luke said.

"That would be nice."

"How about dinner? Tomorrow night?"

"Sounds great."

"Great."

"I must say I do enjoy the kissing though." Lorelai said, turning to face him.

He smiled and leaned in. They kissed and it was as amazing and passionate as ever. When their lips parted they just sat there staring into each others eyes. They kissed one more time before Luke got up.

"I really should go." he said.

"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow. Boyfriend."

"I'll see you tomorrow, girlfriend."
