"You okay?" She asked him, in bed, that night. He looked like he had something on his mind. She wanted to know what he was thinking.
"If that table of bozos comes to the diner tomorrow and don't order anything but ice tea... I don't know, maybe I can get Kirk to scare them away with his hot dog costume." He babbled on, staring at the ceiling.
She watched him babble on about Kirk and the bozos and ice tea and hot dogs. It was nice. This was nice. They were nice.
They were doing good. They really were.
She liked them, together.
She liked being with him. She liked sleeping in his bed. She liked him in her bed. She liked him in her kitchen, and her bathroom. She liked him watching TV with her, and carrying her to her bedroom when she fell asleep. She liked talking to him late at night, and eating pie in bed with him. She liked that he tried to make her eat healthy. She liked that he actually believed he could trick her into drinking decaf. She liked that he never gave up. She liked that she got to kiss him over the counter, even with everyone watching. She liked that she had someone to come to for help. She liked that he always listened, and wanted to help her. She liked that he always had his arm around her in the morning, when they woke up. She liked that he always had coffee waiting for her downstairs. She liked that he always made sure not to use all the hot water, so she could have some left for her shower. She liked that he called her just to see what she's doing. She liked that even though he didn't say it, she knew he was glad to see her at the end of the day.
She just... liked them... together.
"Sookie's pregnant." She told him. She didn't really know what it had to do with anything, but it just came to her, and she figured she'd tell him.
"Again? Wow." He commented. She wondered what that meant.
"Well, Jackson does want 4 in 4 years." Lorelai shrugged.
Luke nodded. "4 kids. Can you imagine them with 4 kids?" He asked. She didn't know. She liked that he seemed to care.
"I don't know." Lorelai told him. "4 little Belleville's running around here? It'd be like Kirk having a twin."
"Don't joke about that." Luke told her.
"Two hot dogs." Lorelai quippped.
"Jeez." Luke answered. She laughed. She gave him a peck on the lips.
"I need pie." She told him, starting to get out of bed.
"There's none left." He told her, beginning to sit up.
"What?" She asked, horrified. No more pie?
"Someone took the last piece." He said, with a shrug.
"You didn't save any for me?" She asked.
"I didn't know you'd want any." He told her, with a shrug.
"Hello, have you met me?" She asked. How could he not know she would want pie? It had to have been one of his little tricks to try and get her to eat healthy.
"Right." He nodded. "Tomorrow." He told her.
She sighed. "Fine."
He held out his hand and pulled her back into bed with him. She moved close to him, and he kissed her, running his hand through her hair.
She pulled away after a few moments, and leaned against his forehead. Then, she kissed him one last time, before lying down on her pillows.
"Do you really need all those pillows?" He asked her.
"Yes." She answered simply.
He shook his head. He didn't understand her, sometimes.
"This is nice." She told him, staring up at the ceiling.
"Yeah, it's nice." He told her, at the risk of sounding sappy.
She turned and looked at him with a smile.
He sighed heavily. "There's a piece in the fridge." He told her, defeated.
"Hah! I knew it." She said, jumping out of bed.
"You shouldn't eat stuff like that before bed. All the sugar will keep you up." He told her, as he watched her go through his refrigerator.
She brought the pie back to bed with her, and snuggled close to him. She kissed him one last time before digging into the piece of heaven on her plate.
She loved that he cared.

Soo I know I haven't been updating lately. I was barely ever home during the summer, and yeah... But I'm grounded, so hopefully I'll have more time to update. I've actually been grounded since the begginning of October, but I just haveh't had the motivation. I get off on friday so I'm going to try and get out a lot of updates before then.
