This chapter skips a lot of time but this should be the only major time skip in this story.
VeroSNM- You're in luck because there are Luke and Rory moments coming up in this chapter and the next few.
A month later.
3:05 in the morning.
"Luke, wake up" Lorelai said. "Luke"
"What?" Luke asked groggily.
"It's the first snow" Lorelai said.
"Good, now go back to sleep" Luke said.
"No, get up, we have to go outside" Lorelai said.
"Lorelai, its freezing cold outside, I am not getting up" Luke said.
"Please" Lorelai said.
"No" Luke said.
"Your unborn child would really like it" Lorelai said.
"Fine, but only for a few seconds" Luke said.
"I'll go get Rory" Lorelai said getting out of bed.
"It's a school night" Luke said.
"She always sees the first snow with me" Lorelai said. "It's tradition"
Lorelai went to Rory's room. She was already awake.
"It's the first snow" Rory said.
"I know I woke Luke up so he'll be down in a second" Lorelai said.
"Poor Luke" Rory said. "Just doesn't know what he gets himself into"
"Alright put your coat on" Luke said to Lorelai.
"Way ahead of you" Lorelai said.
She grabbed Luke's hand and they all went outside.
"It's so magical" Lorelai said.
"It's frozen precipitation, there's nothing magical about it" Luke said.
"I remember taking a certain fussy one year old out in the snow to quiet her down" Lorelai said ignoring Luke.
"Would that one year old's name be Rory?" Rory asked.
"Maybe, I don't quite remember" Lorelai said smiling. "I think this baby likes the snow too"
Lorelai had her hand on her stomach.
"Both of you are going to catch a cold, go back to bed" Luke said.
"You're such a party pooper, you know that" Lorelai said.
"I've heard rumors, now get inside" Luke said.
"You'd think he didn't like snow" Rory said.
Lorelai pretended to gasp.
"You get that thought out of your mind, everyone likes snow" Lorelai said.
Rory and Lorelei went back inside.
Another month later. (I know I skipped a lot of time in this chapter)
"Hello Christopher, it's Emily" Emily said. "I know you still love Lorelai and I'm telling you if you ever want to get back with her now is the time. Her relationship is getting serious with that man and as you heard she's expecting again. I'm just letting you know that you have my support in this"
She hung up the phone.
This takes place in the episode of Rory's winter formal at Chilton.
Lorelai sneezed.
"Here is some soup" Luke said. "And a blanket"
"Why did I have to get sick two weeks before Christmas" Lorelai said. "I hate being sick"
"Well if you get lots of rest you'll be better before Christmas" Luke said.
"Rory how do you like the dress?" Lorelai asked.
"I love it" Rory said coming into the room.
"You look beautiful" Lorelai said.
"I agree" Luke said.
"Why thank you" Rory said.
The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it" Luke said.
He opened the door.
"Emily" Luke said.
"Hello Luke" Emily said.
"Lorelai and Rory are in the living room" Luke said.
"Thank you" Emily said.
"Can I take your coat?"
"That would be nice" Emily said.
She handed her coat to Luke and went into the living room.
"Rory, you look beautiful" Emily said.
"Thank you" Rory said.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Lorelai asked.
"Can't a grandmother see her granddaughter in her beautiful dress before she goes to the dance?" Emily asked. "I'm glad to see you bought her a dress"
"Actually Mom made it" Rory said.
Lorelai sneezed.
"Are you sick?" Emily asked.
"Just a little cold" Lorelai said. "Nothing bad"
"A cold at nine months of pregnancy can be bad" Emily said. "Have you seen the doctor?"
"Yes, I had an ultrasound yesterday" Lorelai said. "She said it's nothing to worry about"
A car honked.
"That's Dean" Rory said.
Rory said starting towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Emily asked.
"To the car" Rory said.
"A man should come to the door and greet the family" Emily said.
"But I told him just to honk" Rory said.
"If he's a smart boy he'll figure it out" Emily said.
Lorelai gave Rory an I'm sorry look. Rory sighed and sat on the couch. They waited for a few minutes.
"He's not a very bright boy, is he?" Emily asked.
Finally Dean rung the doorbell. Rory ran to the door.
"Slow down, a lady never rushes" Emily said.
Rory opened the door.
"Hey, I thought you were going to meet me at the car" Dean said.
"Yeah, sorry" Rory said.
"Young man, come in here please" Emily said.
Dean and Rory went into the living room.
"Hi Dean" Lorelai said from the couch.
"Hi" Dean said. "Luke"
"Dean" Luke said.
"Dean this is my grandma" Rory said. "Grandma this is Dean. Can we go now?"
"Be back by ten" Emily said.
"Eleven" Lorelai mouthed to Rory.
"Bye" Rory said.
She and Dean left.
"Luke you should go check on the diner" Lorelai said. "I'll be fine"
"I can't leave you alone when you're sick" Luke said.
"I can stay with Lorelai" Emily said to Luke.
Luke looked at Lorelai who shrugged.
"I'll be back in half an hour" Luke said.
He went over to Lorelai.
"The soup will be gone when I come back" Luke said.
"Fine" Lorelai said. "Bye"
"Bye" Luke said.
He left.
"So he runs a diner" Emily said.
"Yeah that's actually is how we met" Lorelai said. "He makes the best coffee in the world"
"Oh" Emily said. "Have you started planning the wedding?"
"No, I think we'll wait a while after the baby's born" Lorelai said.
It was quiet.
"You promised him you'd eat that soup, you might want to do it before its cold" Emily said.
"I think it already is" Lorelai said.
She started to get up.
"Where do you think you're going?" Emily asked.
"To the kitchen to warm it up" Lorelai said.
"Lorelai stay there. I'll do it" Emily said. "You're sick and you don't need to have that baby early"
"It's not like I was going to be able to get up myself" Lorelai said settling back into the couch. "Hey did you like be pregnant?"
"God no, why do you think I only had you" Emily said. "I had constant back pain, nausea until my sixth month, my ankles were swollen, and I was huge. Your father told me he escaped to work to get away from my constant mood swings"
"Wow, that sounds like the pregnancy from hell" Lorelai said.
"It was" Emily said.
Emily picked up the bowl of soup and heated it up.
"So your father told me you were due on Christmas" Emily said.
"Yeah" Lorelai said.
"Will you be able to come to the Christmas party?" Emily asked.
"I should if Luke lets me. Just hope I don't go into labor" Lorelai said half joking.
"Luke's very protective of you?" Emily asked.
"He says he doesn't want to see me get hurt again" Lorelai said. "But don't tell him I told you about that because it'll ruin is image"
"You love him?" Emily asked.
"Very much" Lorelai said.
"Hmm" Emily said.
"You know you can sit down, I don't bite" Lorelai said.
Emily sat down on the couch.
"The remote is over there if you want to turn on the T.V." Lorelai said.
"There's never anything good on T.V. now days" Emily said.
"Yeah" Lorelai said.
It was quiet.
"So Rory likes this young man?" Emily asked.
"Yeah, she does" Lorelai said.
"He's nice?"
"Very" Lorelai said. "He treats her well, believe me, she wouldn't have gotten him past Luke if he hadn't"
It was quiet again. Emily turned on the T.V. Eventually they both fell asleep.
"Lorelai, Lorelai wake up!" Emily exclaimed. "Rory's not home!"
"What?" Lorelai said.
She got up and looked in Rory's room.
"Rory?" Lorelai yelled with tears in her eyes. "Rory?"
Luke came downstairs.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Rory never came home" Lorelai said.
The phone started to ring. Lorelai started searching for it.
"Why don't you clean up around this place?" Emily asked. "What if Rory was choking and you couldn't find the phone"
Lorelai found it and answered it.
"Rory?" Lorelai asked. "Oh, okay, yeah, thank you, okay, bye"
"Was it Rory?" Emily asked.
"No but Rory and Dean were at Miss Patty's asleep" Lorelai said.
"Miss Patty's? Is that some kind of motel or something?" Emily said.
"No it isn't" Lorelai said.
"You know if you were more responsible this wouldn't have happened" Emily said.
"Excuse me" Lorelai said.
"Your daughter just spent the night with some boy" Emily said.
"Rory is a good kid" Lorelai said. "It was probably an accident"
"She's going to end up pregnant you know" Emily said. "Just like you. She's throwing her life away"
"No she's not! No she's not! No she's not!" Lorelai exclaimed. "Now get out of my house!"
"Lorelai calm down" Luke said. "This isn't good for the baby"
Emily left and slammed the door. Rory came into the room.
"Thank you for standing up for me" Rory said.
"What were you thinking?" Lorelai asked angrily. "Spending the night with a guy?"
"It was an accident" Rory said. "Nothing happened"
"You are going on the pill. You aren't going to end up pregnant!" Lorelai yelled.
"You know nothing happen!" Rory yelled. "You're just mad because I screwed up and Grandma nailed you for it! Well I'm sorry but I didn't do anything and you know it!"
She ran to her room and slammed the door.
Lorelai went up to her room and slammed her door. Luke was left in the kitchen. He went and knocked on Rory's door.
"Go away!" Rory yelled crying.
"Rory its Luke" Luke said. "Can I please come in?"
Rory opened the door a crack.
"I believe you Rory and so does your mom. She was just freaked out from waking up to find that you weren't home. You have to give her some time to calm down" Luke said.
Rory opened the door and hugged Luke. Luke stood there uncomfortably.
"I'm not good on this comforting thing" Luke said.
"Well I'd say you're doing a pretty good job of it" Rory said.
"I think maybe I should go talk to your mom" Luke said.
"Okay" Rory said.
Luke went upstairs.
"Lorelai" Luke said.
"I don't want to talk" Lorelai said.
"I know you're upset but you know darn well Rory didn't mean to" Luke said.
"I know but I was so upset at my mom and I didn't mean to say what I said" Lorelai said. "But now she hates me"
"No she doesn't" Luke said. "I just talked to her and she understands. If you go talk to her calmly then I think you'll get over this fight with no hard feelings"
"You do a very good buffer job" Lorelai said.
"I'm going have Rory come up here and talk to you" Luke said.
"Okay" Lorelai said.
I'm having trouble deciding if I want Luke and Lorelai to have a girl or a boy. It would really help if you guys could review and tell me what you want.
