Fancy Meeting Your Belly Here!
Chapter 4
Salt ... Wound ... Rub It In Why Don't You!!

The couple walked hand in hand through the Hartford Park. They past the playground, and were enjoying the sunshine, the trees and each others company.

Jason couldn't beleive his luck, as he regarded the woman holding his hand. She was just so amazing. She finally had her own firm now, two years ahead of her ambitious plan.

"You did it babe, you are truly a success. Be your own boss, set your own hours, I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks Jason, hey is it werid for you to be back here? Didn't you say you used to live around here?"

"Yeah, an apartment about three blocks away actually? But then, It's always werid to visit my parents, ... but you are the lady in my life and I want them to meet you. And hey if they don't like you,... then I love you all the more." She laughed, How I love that laugh, he relished. She didn't laugh enough, and with that he kissed her, hopefully encourage the behavior to emerge more often. She smiled as he pulled away, and they continued on the path.

They were really like minded creatures; Tenatious, Persistant, Driven, Destined for Success, and nothing would stand in their way. They had road blocks and set backs, challenges that they had just plowed through like they didn't exist. Jason was now thankful everyday that he picked New York.

They had met by chance after Jason's "unpleasantness" with Richard Gilmore had gone down and he had to start over. He never disclosed the sordid details of why he needed to start over, just that he did, "call it an entrepreneurial spirit", he had said lightly their first meeting. That was the first time he made her laugh, and it wasn't the last. She was a highly recommended lawyer; was cut throat, but kept his best interests at heart. He was atrracted to her instantly. It started off as a proffessional relationship, but they were soon friends, then, after a few months, he finally mustard enough courage to ask her out. After a few more laughs in his face and persistent months of asking, she accepted. He'd been the happiest man ever since. As was tradition, he had waited for that little voice in his head, the one that said "run away little man, this is getting serious". It never came. THAT had only happened one time before, but he preferred not to dwell on that. "Hey, you lived here too? Right?" to divert his attention.

"Oh, I've lived all over, but I was in Litchfield for a time." She added quickly hoping to have the subject would drop. Jason was a nice man. A little quirky, very funny, and successful. And he made her laugh, too many New York business men were so stuffy and boring, a sense of humor really is attractive. Who would have thought she'd ever fall for a goof ball. She could be a little too serious at times, she had to be, she was a lawyer. Her cases involved large sums of money and valueable property being passed back and forth; contract terms that were almost life and death, people expected her to be serious. Yet, Jason always found away to bring the smile out, and lighten her up. She liked that. She had some disappointments in her past, and she could tell,... Jason did, too. That was another way they were alike, overcoming adversity. She was proud of Jason too, he seemed to come from nothing, and made a success of himself in New York despite the hardships. All she really knew was his former partner stole all his clients behind his back, some sort of legal loop holes kept him from suing, and thereby tainting him from doing business in Connecticut for a whlile til he coud reestablish himself. She had begged him to let her take a look into it...but he shrugged it off as long dead. She never pressed why else he wanted to start over. Again, She was a lawyer, she sensed there was something else. But, she knew all about how hard a fresh start could be, having so recently gone through a divorce when she moved to the Big Apple. Jason was different, to say the least, yet something was so familiar about him and she couldn't put her finger on it. They were now in the phase of meeting his parents, and that was a big step. She remembered the last man she had meet her parents, ... obviously, it didn't go so well, ending in divorce. Jason did love to tease her about what a nightmare his family was, and she wondered how much of it was true. Sometimes you just can't tell with him.

She felt Jason stop in his tracks, and she looked over to him, and noticed he was white as a ghost.

"Jason what's wrong?" so she followed his gaze across the park.

"Oh umm, ... nothing... I just ... just..." just couldn't help but stare. He's brain seemed to shut down for a time. However, Jason's synapses were still firing just enough for him to take in the image of Luke, "Luke Danes, I own the diner in town", aka Duke, on a park bench, with a bundled blanket in his arms. Jason assumed with a baby inside. Lorelai handed Luke a bottle, and Luke happily accepted it, and began to feed their child. Lorelai was fiddling with something else in the stroller...Oh My God, Twins? You've GOT to be kidding me. Sure enough, Lorelai picked up another bundled blanket and began feeding baby #2.

Rory, Richard and Emily Gilmore were also there, gushing, no doubt, over their new grandkids and siblings. Lorelai asked Rory something, and Rory went into Lorelai's purse, took some money out, and went to a store across the street.

Emily and Lorelai seemed to have a light hearted exchange, and Richard took Emily's hand and they went off to enjoy the scenery of the park, leaving the new parents in peace.

Luke and Lorelai were alone now, on the bench, and just stared at their children and at each other, positively dopey grins on their faces. It was an non-verbal exchange that spoke volumes. Both beaming. Both satisfied. Both happy. Both In Love. It was the same look Jason had witnessed a few years ago at the Dragonfly.

7 7 7 7 7 7 Lucky number 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7

He was coming out of the restroom and he heard muffled yelling. Upon investigating he saw Luke and Lorelai in the hall arguing....Geez, I go to the bathroom and all hell breaks loose.

"You knew what I was doing! "

"Well, no, not officially."

"Not officially? Oh, come on. I mean, I didn't have a ref present, but other than that."

"Well, you didn't say anything official."

Jason didn't know what was going on but he hung back to absorb as much information as he could, after all, things were still looking in his favor. She brought me dinner!

"What was I supposed to say? I did things. I let my actions speak. That's what you're supposed to do. Your supposed to let your actions speak. That's the romantic way to do this, damn it. "

What things? Romanitc way?

"Okay, you're right. I'm sorry."

"And you went along with all of it. So naturally, I assumed we were on the same page, and then your boyfriend shows up here at the Inn that I invested in."

Luke? Invested? Lorelai never asked me to invest?

"Whoa, Whoa, what boyfriend? Are you talking about Jason?"

"No, Tom. Yes, Jason."

Who is Tom?

"You guys were talking? What did he say?"

"He said you were together. I mean, I was sitting there listening to this guy spout on and on about how it's right, you're right, he's right. The whole time, I'm thinking, 'What the hell have I been doing all this for? She's taken.'

" -- I'm not taken!"

When your girlfriend claims she is not taken, that is most Definitley not a good sign. Jason moved from his perch in the dining room, because they were now taking this outside. He found a new spot in the library, so he could still hear and follow the action, through the open front door.

"We broke up!"

"Well, he doesn't know that! "

"Well, just calm down! "

"Aw, I don't want to calm down! I did everything right! I did exactly what the book said!"

"The book?!"

Apprently, Jason wasn't the only one having trouble following this Diner man's outburst.

"I thought we were on track, and now you're standing there looking at me like I'm crazy."

"I'm not looking at you like you're crazy!"

"You know the last time I bought flowers for someone? Never! That's when! Very easy stat to remember!"

"I loved the flowers!"

"And then when I walked you home after the wedding, there was a moment. ... I thought there was a moment."

Wait a minute, Flowers?? Weddings?? Moments?? It has only been two weeks, right?

"There was!"

What?

The arguing pair paused for a seconed, and met each other's gaze.

"There was a moment." Lorelai confirmed again.

Luke moved toward Lorelai, she seemed to back away.

"What are you doing?"

"Will you just stand still?"

Luke gathered Lorelai in his arms, and kissed her. It was brief but it was enough to infuriate Jason. As they seperated Lorelai looked to be in shock.

Okay, this has to be the part where she hits him.

But it was THERE, right there, that "the look" had first emerged. Then Lorelai moved toward Luke.

"What are you doing?" Luke asked.

"Will you just stand still?"

NO! Lorelai?

But she did, Lorelai kissed the diner man. And this kiss was something more...

Jason sunk, he lost her. He did a stupid thing and sued her dad, pushing her away, and now she's moved on with the diner man. A burger flipping, coffee making, Diner man, How could this have happened? He almost didn't notice the naked man yelling and screaming down the stairs. This REALLY is a strange town.

He'd drop the suit, what was the point really. He had nothing to keep him here now. Despondent, Jason got in his car that very night, and drove away from the Inn, away from the town, away from the state ... to start over.

New York City, here I come.

7 7 7 7 7 7 Lucky for Luke, Bad for Jason 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7

He didn't know how long he was staring...but he felt he should to explain to his girlfriend why he wasn't speaking for so long. He turned to her, and saw she was staring too, mouth gaped, just as pale as he felt.

"Nicole?"

"Huh, what?" she said distracted...transfixed on the family.

"Are you okay?"

"ummmmm yeah," seeming to come out of it, "... you?"

"Yeah, fine, what is it?"

"ummmm Jason, ... you know I was married before right..?"

"Yeah, you told me..."

"Over there,... that family, ... that man,....he's my Ex husband, ... Luke."

Jason's eyes went wide. "Oh, You've Got to be kidding me!"

"No, I'm not?... What's with the tone?"

She was a lawyer, she picked up intonation.

"Lorelai and I ," he gestured to the distance bench, "... were serious for a time,..."

Now Nicole's eyes bugged out. That was it, that is why he seemed so familiar, he had the same "Gilmore" humor. "So your ex- girlfriend and my ex-husband, are together,... with children, ... and we ... are together?"

"Yeah, .....is that just werid?

"Or ironic?

There was a long pause digesting this new information.....

"Twins." Jason offered to break the silence.

"Yeah, ... that's a lot of work." And she started to snicker, "Luke trying to change a diaper. Hell, two diapers...." And Nicole started to laugh.

Jason chuckled too, "Can you imagine how big Lorelai must have been?"

They both seemed to enjoy the joke at the Danes family's expense.

"Oh God, I need to sit down", and Nicole found a bench that couldn't help but still offer a veiw of the happy family. The laughter died away, and she couldn't avert her eyes. Jason sat next to her. Both examining the family. Their light hearted jest now replaced with the silent realization of what was missing from their power and success. Jason took her hand, and squeezed. Jason had never asked questions about Nicole's marriage before. "You never really talked about why it broke up.... Your marriage." Hell, she barely talked about it at all, it was merely mentioned in passing as a simple fact; "... I'm a lawyer.., moved to New York after my divorce, my favorite color is red...". Now he wished he'd been a little more persistent for that information.

Nicole felt very uncomfortable, and cleared her throat in an attempt to dislodge the lump there, "I think you can see why." Nodding toward the disant bench.

Jason looked at the family again, with a new found understanding. Though they never discussed specifics, such as with whom were you married, how long did it last, He did have the vague understanding that her divorce corresponded in time with the end of his relationship wtih Lorelai. Of course, Luke and Lorelai were long time friends. Did Luke pursue Lorelai while still marreid to Nicole? The Bastard. Would Lorelai really cheat with a married man? He began to wonder if the wedding the diner man spoke of was his own. That's despicable. And Lorelai, involved with a married man when WE were clearly not finished. Well, maybe she gets her heartless nature from Richard?

It was all too easy to pass the blame, Nicole reasoned. Let Jason think what the wants. She was a lawyer, she knew the best way to manipulate the situation to the most advantageous outcome. Besides, she often suspected it was Luke's repressed affection for Lorelai that ultimately doomed the marriage. The proof of that right infront of me! Nicole wasn't heartbroken over Luke, Her pride was hurt more than her heart's actual attachment to him. Yet, that silent endearment toward Lorelai was why they never really had a chance. It was why Luke never really move to Litchfield. That was the reason he spent most nights above the diner, wanting to be there for HER the next day. That is why Nicole got lonely, Luke had basically neglected her, and drove her into the arms of Peter; whom Luke referred to as the Sock Man. She had found his frankness in the divorce papers very inappropriate, if not just embarrassing.

The expression on her face moved Jason. "Oh, Nicole," and he put a comforting arm around her. It was bad enough that Luke had stolen Lorelai from him, but to now know that was the reason the Diner man had hurt Nicole. It was more than he could stand. And yet, it was all so strange,... he couldn't help but wonder as he reflected on Luke and Lorelai's "test run exchange". Something didn't seem to fit. Luke never bought Flowers for Nicole? If I hadn't sued Richard, would I still be with Lorelai? Would we have lasted? Would Nicole still be married to Luke? Would Luke still have cheated,... maybe with someone else? This is just a strange situation to be in.

Then, a devious idea popped in his head.

"Hey, you wanna have some fun?"

"Sure," desperately wanting Jason to cheer her up, the way he always did, and save her from the sins of her past.

"Let's go say 'Hi'."

"Jason?... I'd don't think that is such a good idea."

"What? Knowing Lorelai, I think they might appreicate the irony, too. Besides don't you want to catch up with Ozzie and Harriet over there."

"Not particularly." She said truthfully.

"Nicole, come on, it was years ago, Right? ... For both of us. We have both moved on, we are in a healthy relationship. Are we not insanely successful, influential people, whom, may I add, have incredible sex on a regular basis? If nothing else we have to rub their noses in that, right? When was the last time you think they had sex...they have twins for pete's sake."

Pete? Peter?...ummmm. Nicole really didn't want to think about anyone having sex at that moment...especially not Luke and Lorelai ... or her and the Sockman, or her and Jason for that matter....this was just an all around bad idea.

"I don't like the idea of lording my success or my sex life over my ex and his new family."

"Come on, it will be fun. I promise."

"Jason,"

"Five minutes, a quick hello, how are you, a few 'NANA NANA BOO BOOs' and goodbye."

Jason pulled Nicole off the park bench, and led her over to the happy foursome.

777777777777777777777777777777

Lorelai couldn't beleive how well this day was going. She had been in her mother's company for over 5 hours and that shooting pain behind her eye was not present. Oh, Emily still offered helpful advice, she wasn't dead, but good reliable Luke would intercept what he could to take the burden off Lorelai. Luke had impressed Emily with his new found knowledge of babies. He had been reading Lorelai's pregngacy books the entire 9 months.

... well someone had too.

"And ... he's out!"she whispered triumphantly.

"I still beat you." Having put Mia to sleep five minutes before.

"This is not a competition."

"Then why were you the one making childish wagers."

"Oh,... that!" Damn, he remembered.

"A deal's a deal, you owe me an extra month without Coffee!"

"Fine, ... but I'll be making this face the whole month." And she scrunched up her face in the most hideous, distorted way she could, to show her disapproval of the deal.

Luke had to grin, "Doesn't matter, I know how to make that face go away." In a low husky voice and he puncuated the innuendo with a wink. He had leaned in, just to be sure his in-laws would not over hear the suggestive comment he made to their daughter.

Lorelai tried to hide the smile from her husband, but it was no good. As much as she loved and appreciated Luke the Father, for the last few months she had missed Luke the Lover, and had ecstatically and passionately welcomed his return. Who needs coffee when you can have Luke? The caffeine withdrawl headaches aren't that bad anyway!

"Yeah, well, if you keep antics like last night up, we will have another pair of these running around in no time."

"So, What's the problem?" her husband smiled, in the same tone.

Her smile wided at the suggestion, and Lorelai placed Will next to his sleeping sister in the double stroller. She couldn't help but admire the tiny pair of Love's creation. Then, she noticed forbodding shadows growing on the ground. She glanced up, unprepared for who and what she saw.

"Jason?"
"Lorelai." he acknowledged.

Luke took his eyes off the twins and saw the pair as well.

"Nicole?"
"Luke." she confirmed.

Luke and Lorelai observed their clasped hands, and gave each other a sidelong glance. They picked up the non-verbal clues.

Lorelai tried to remain jovial, "Well, ... Fancy meeting you ...both ... here....of all places," but it still came out with a hint of confusion. God, my voice hasn't sounded like that since the last time I had to speak with Nicole. All false and pleasant, through the clenched teeth of her forced smile. She tried to laugh, and grabbed Luke's hand to draw from his strength.

Jason smiled smuggly, Lorelai had just grabbed Luke's hand, either she was scared, or it was an attempt to mirror his and Nicole's united front; The former, no doubt. Surprise was always a good tatic, they couldn't possibly have expected this. We'll have them on the ropes in no time.

Luke was a little perplexed by the situation, this was like an episode of the Twilight Zone Lorelai made him watch. He was glad to have her hand to hold on to. His Ex Wife was with,... WITH Jason Stiles. Luke hadn't seen Jason since that night at the Dragonfly, he hadn't seen Nicole since long before that.

Nicole couldn't beleive Jason talked her into this. Although the appeal of making Lorelai suffer a little won over her better judgement.

Lorelai's stale pleasantry just hung in the air. No one spoke. However, Lorelai had always suffered from pressure of speech, and she began to nervously babble. "So wow, you two ...together ...I have to tell you, that is great...no two better suited." She fully intended it as a back handed insult. Of course, Nicole was already a harpy, for the way she had treated Luke; and Jason was just deluded scum for suing her Father like that. No two...better suited indeed!! Lorelai only hoped her dad wounldn't spot Jason, they still had Richard's heart condition to think of, afterall.

The sinister couple may not have caught her full meaning, but enough was implied. Yet they remained civil...for now. "Yeah, well, here we ALL are..."Jason, said a little too pleased with himself. "You know, we were just walking by and saw you, and were like, 'hey that's my Ex girlfriend,', 'Really that is my ex- husband' and we laughed and laughed at the complete irony of the situation."

"Irony, yeah ... that's a great story..." Luke's voice dry with the sacrasm. Luke never liked Jason. Granted this opinion was based on the only conversation they had ever had, but ONE was enough. A little of Stiles goes along way. Luke glanced at his kids snoozing away, innocent and completely unaware of what mommy and daddy were going through at that moment. Luke only hoped it remained civil enough to not interrupt nap time.

Nicole let Jason do the talking, this was his idea afterall. He was the one who thought this would be fun, so let him be in the conversational drivers seat. She couldn't help but notice Luke's expression as he checked on his kids. How in just this short glimpse, she could tell how devoted he was to Lorelai and their family, as he never was with her. Again, she was a lawyer, she got paid to read body language.

Another agonizing silence fell upon the group. So Lorelai took another stab, "so Jason,.. how's business?" immediately regretting it, how well could he be after how things ended with her father, he had nothing. When he left years ago, his only hope was for a spot on the Appretince. Yeah, like Trump would hire this putz!

"Well, I'm glad you asked that Lorelai, I'm actually running my company out of New York now. More clients than I know what to do with, thankfully I've hired on more staff, so I have more time free for Nicole."

Luke began to wonder how much of what he said was just for show. Jason seemed the type.

Nicole gave more of a wince, than a smile. This was were the bragging began, once finished, they could make their exit and get back to where things made sense again.

Jason continued, "... and Nicole here just bought out her partners, so the firm is all hers."

"Yeah, that's just ... " Luke said clearly uncomfortable with this situation.

Another awkward silence.

Lorelai, trying to keep the conversation going, her logic being the faster it moved the sooner it ends. "So how long have you two been an item?" feigning interest.

Luke turned to Lorelai thinking Will you stop asking questions!!

"Almost a year" Jason offered.

"Christmas" Nicole said at the same time.

Jason turned to his girlfriend confused... "Christmas...?"

"Well, ... we weren't exclusive till,.."

Jason cut her off in a snapping tone."We weren't exclusive? 5 months? And we weren't exclusive? Huh, so when DID you realize that was we were exclusive. I'm just curious, for my own sanity."

"As I said, around Christmas..."

Apparently, this truly offended Jason. "That was a month after I gave you the key to my place. You think I just go around randomly giving women my key?"

"Well holidays were now invovled..."

"So what you don't like Thanksgiving? Well, now I feel like the damn turkey, Nicole, that key was supposed to SAY something ... about us..."

"AHH the Talking key is back!" Lorelai interjected before she could stop herself. And Luke gave her hand a squeeze, hoping she'd take the cue and stay out of it, this was already unpleasant enough.

"Lorelai, please!" Nicole barked.

"Hey, don't feel bad I didn't get it either..."

With that Nicole turned to Jason..."You gave her a key?"

"I told you, we were serious at the time."

"Huh? Lorelai? ... Did you meet his parents?" thinking of the dinner schedule for that evening. She wanted to know just "how serious" was serious. if Lorelai got a key, why not dinner with the parents, too?

"Ummm actually," thinking of the night when everything blew up, "yeah," she said sheepishly, "...It was more of a business thing though, Jason being my dad's partner, no one really knew about us...till,... " She forced another smile thinking of the slimeball Floyd really was. I mean a P.I. Really.

"Wait a minute," Nicole needed a moment to wrap her brain around this "...you were dating your business partner's daughter? Well, no wonder he forced you out?"

"Hey she refused to tell him! Besides my dad hired a P.I., and told Richard before we could..."

"Wait, wait, a P.I.? Your dad hired a P.I.? You want me to meet these people tonight? And they hired a P.I. to spy on their own son? Do they already have a file on me or soemthing?" Nicole had now forgotten why she was so excited about that step of their relationship in the first place.

"Well, when I had left my Dad's company to partner with Richard, Dad didn't take that so well. And then, after the business with Richard went down, Floyd and I weren't exactly on speaking terms."

"I just can't believe this, Jason, don't you have any business ethics? With your partner's daughter? I didn't think I'd have to tell you that is completely inappropritate conduct."

"You outta know..." Lorelai offered, again with the Tourette's syndrome.

Luke rolled his eyes, and gave his wife another look as in "don't egg them on".

"Excuse me?" Jason was genuinely curious.

"Nothing," Lorelai just wanted this moment to be over.

"No, Lorelai, What? Would you like to pass moral judgements, as well? Considering you are just as guilty I, if not more so for breaking up a a marriage."

"Jason, what are you talking about...?"

Jason decided to get back on track, and refocus his attack on the Happy Couple. That was the whole point of this exercise, Right? He was going to hit where it counted. "What about these little tikes? Huh? What are their names..?" and Jason reached toward the stroller.

"Don't" Luke barked a little louder than he intended. Jason froze, with mock concern on his face, the gesture only to set up for the kill.

Luke cleared his throat, "We just put them down...for their nap." GOD, when is this going to end , just move on...Digger!

"Oh, of course, we wouldn't want to wake the like darlings" he said, still snide.

"Ummmm Jason? What is wrong with you? And what is with that crack, what marriage?" picking up his tone, and Lorelai was getting into protective mother mode.

"Well, I'm just cuirious, are these the only children you have? Or are there more little bastards running around?"

"JASON!" Lorelai was in shock, The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?!

"Listen Digger, ... I suggest you leave" Luke said with as much control as he could.

"Well, first let me at least tell you to your face I think you are scum, leaving a beautiful, talented, tenacious woman like Nicole for a heartless bitch like Lorelai."

This time Luke shot up from the bench, "That's strike two, Digger!" fists already clenched, just waiting to hurl into action.

Jason now turned his attention to the heartless bitch. "How could you? With a married man? When we still didn't have closure?"

"Jason, for the last time, what the hell are you talking about?" Lorelai was completely lost as to why Jason would be so mad at Luke and her.

"You broke up his marriage with your affair, you both hurt Nicole."

Now Luke relaxed a bit, but only a bit. He put his hand on his hips, What an idiot! Shaking his head, "Oh Man, ... is that what she told you?" referring to Nicole.

Disarmed by the diner man's intonation and posture. "What?"

Lorelai clarified, "Nicole is the one who cheated...on Luke!" Idiot!

"That's not true!" Jason scoffed.

"Ummm yeah it is, ... Luke got arrested for beating up a car, I had to bail him out,....check the police record." Oh, God my husband has a police record.

Stunned, Jason turned to Nicole. "Nicole?"

"Jason,..." she admitted reluctantly "...it's true."

"WHAT?" Digger shouted.

Lorelai filled in the blanks "With a Sock-man."

Luke hissed toward Lorelai, "Raise your hand if you're not helping!"

"A What?" Jason shrieked, being the only one not understanding the reference. "You're the one who cheated!!"

She folded her arms across her chest. "Yes," her confirmation cold and brusque.

"You presume to lecture me about ethics? and YOU cheated on your husband? ... you lied to me, ... you had me beleive..."

"You made the assumption on your own, I never said...!"

"Well, you know what they say when you assume...huh? ... So a sock man? A SOCK MAN? What the hell does that even mean, ... a Sock Man? Was it him that we weren't 'exclusive' with, huh?"

"No! okay we broke up a few months after the divorce; Ok, Jason, he was just a comfort, alirght, a rebound guy..."

"Oh okay, so you were just a 'Cheater Cheater Sock-Man Eater' for a few months to get over the marriage to the Diner man that you broke up yourself!!!! Yeah, okay, that makes me feel SO much better." The anger equal to the sarcasm.

Nicole tried to defend herself, "You don't understand! It WAS because of HER. He was always in love with her. He never really moved into our place, he hated going to the business dinners, ... he was never home ..."

Luke was already uncomfortable, but to have his dirty laundry aired out in a public park, a 100 yards from his in-laws and 1 yard from his sleeping twins was becoming more than the Hulk could handle. He only hoped that this scenario would not end with him in jail,...again.

"Damn it Nicole! Nothing happened between me and Lorelai till after the divorce was final. And why are you so hurt now? Everything ended amicably years ago..."

"That doesn't mean it didn't still hurt, Luke!"

"Nicole, nothing happened!!" Luke guaranteed.

"LIKE HELL IT DIDN'T!!"

Lorelai pleaded with her, "Nicole, please keep your voice down, we have sleeping babies here!!"

"OH, SCREW YOUR DAMN BABIES!!"

A surge of being "violently protective" over taking Luke, "Nicole that is enough! Look this whole situation took a very strange turn. YELL AT ME, YELL AT JASON, he is an ASS and deserves it, just do it a safe distance away from my kids!!"

"GO TO HELL!! ... ALL OF YOU!!" and she stormed off.

And Jason called after her "NOT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE!!" and he stalked off in the opposite direction.

Luke sat back down, and looked over at Lorelai, both just sat in stunned silence, slowly recovering from Jason and Nicole's "Meltdown in the Park". I wonder if Baz is available to direct.

Luke asked, "What the Hell Just Happened?"

A confused Lorelai observed, "I think we just broke up our Exes."

"Is it just me, or was that just... werid?"

"Oh, believe me that was 'The Cell' weird."

He looked at the slumbering pair again. "And they slept through all of that?"

"Huh? Kids are resilient, aren't they?" she asked rhetorically.

"Hey" Rory called cheerfully, back from her errand, and peeking in the double stroller at her sleeping siblings. Then she seemed to noticed the dumbfounded expressions on her mother and stepfather's faces.

"What?"
