Lukelaiandroryndean: I'm sorry I didn't realize it would confuse anyone until after I posted it. It was just another dream of Lorlai's. Kinda like the one in Lazy Hazy Crazy Days (think that's it I didn't bother checking, correct me if I'm wrong) Oh, I'm sorry I made you cry! Thanks for reviewing!

"Luke?" I sigh contently, stirring from my dream, smiling widely, reaching over to Luke's side of the bed, the sweet after taste of the dream still fresh in my mind. But my hand meets the soft, cool sheets, instead of what I thought would be Luke's chest.

"Luke?" I repeat sitting up, bleary eyed, hair mussed up, I rub my eyes for clarity.

"Luke, where are you?" I scan the bare room urgently, feeling my stomach suddenly drop. I go to leap off the bed to my feet, desperate to go find Luke, but the damn blanket is knotted around my ankles, and all I feel is an unexpected jerk as my feet are pulled out from under me and then the painful sting as I hit the floor.

"Ow."

"Jeez, are you okay?" Luke asks, having just come up from downstairs with bags of food piled in his arms.

"He jumped me!" I point at the blanket accusingly, feeling my cheek stinging painfully as I gently massage it.

"Here," Luke says, hurrying over, before placing the bags on the floor and digging out some kind of frozen vegetable package. "Sorry, I forgot to warn you that he can get a little feisty around mid morning," he says softly, gently placing the vegetable package against my smarting skin.

"Cold," I say jumping back, my hand automatically protecting my cheek.

"I know, but it'll make it better, I promise," he says attempting to return the cool bag to my face, but my hand didn't budge.

"Only kisses make boo-boo's better," I counter, not really thinking about what I was saying.

So, he casually puts down the vegetable bag, and slowly reaches for the hand I was shielding my face with, and takes it in his, carefully rubbing the back of it with his smooth callused fingers. And then, he leans in and presses his soft, warm lips against my cheek, only pausing there for a few seconds before pulling away again.

"Better?" he asks smiling, still working his fingers across my hand.

And suddenly, I feel a chill run up my spine, and the strongest urge has taken hold of my body. My body is aching, and all I can hear is this voice screaming in my ear telling, no ordering me, to take hold of Luke's face and kiss him, right on the mouth, and not stop until I faint from lack of air.

"Luke…" I begin, already starting to move in, but just then Luke's phone starts ringing; interrupting our moment with a couple loud rings, causing Luke to run over and answers it.

"Hello? Oh, hey, Rory. Yeah, she's here actually. Yeah, it's a long story. Yeah, sure, hold on one second," he says pressing the receiver to his chest, before walking the phone over to me.

"It's Rory," he says, trying to hand the phone to me, but I don't take it.

"Are you going to tell her?" I ask, looking up at him from the floor.

He hesitates. "I can't."

"You have to tell her, Luke." I reply, not breaking eye contact.

"Can't you do it?" he asks desperately, sounding childish without really meaning to.

"No, she has to hear it from you. If I have to tell her, she'll only be more upset. She loves you, Luke. Hearing it from me is just as bad as if she heard it from Miss Patty. I mean if I was moving, would you want Miss Patty to tell you first?" I smile in a sad sort of way.

"But, I can't, not like this. Not over the phone," he only half explains, but I understand. So, silently I take the phone, and hold it up to my ear.

"Hey, Sweet Child of Mine," I say trying to sound chipper, patting the floor next to me signaling Luke could join me on the floor.

"Hey, Axl, why don't you have your cell phone with you?" Rory asks, and Luke pops-a-squat.

"So we could play an awesome game of hide-and-go-seek, and I guess you found me so now I'm it," I reply as though stating the obvious.

"Oh, right, of course, how stupid of me," Rory, replies not questioning me further, thankfully. I didn't really want to explain to her that I spent the night at Luke's quite yet.

"Yeah, I'm totally questioning us being related now," I tell her in mock seriousness.

"Don't worry, Mom. We'll go on Montel and get it all checked out," Rory solves the problem in an instant.

"Good thinking, Montel knows all," I pause for a moment. "Okay, we're serious now," I tell her, to let her know I was just messing with her. "We've got a little family drama on our hands," I tell her, my voice finally giving up all chipperness.

"Family-family drama, or Stars Hollow-family drama?" she asks, recognizing both of our families, our birth family and our surrogate one.

"Stars Hollow family drama, unfortunately," I reply, and I'm not able to stop myself from thinking how much better life would be right now if Richard and Emily were moving, not Luke.

"Oh." She replies flatly.

"Yeah," I respond understandingly.

"Is that why you're at Luke's?" she asks, finally putting things together for herself.

"Yeah, Baby, and that's why if you could get down to Luke's sometime soon, it'd be really great," I'm being vague, but I know that it's all I really need to say.

"Yeah, let me just get a quick shower, and brush my teeth, and I'll be right over there as soon as I can," she says, and I already hear her feet pounding up the stairs.

"Okay, love ya, hun."

"Love ya, too, Mom. And tell Luke I'll be there soon," she says and I hear a splash of water as she turns on the showerhead.

"I will. Bye."

"Bye."

And with that I hear a click on the other line, and I hang up, too, and hand the phone back to Luke.

"She's just gonna take a shower, and then she should be right over so you can tell her when she gets here, okay?" I say quietly, imagining Rory's reaction to be much like my own.

"Yeah, I can tell her then," he repeats, and I can tell he's thinking the same thing.
