Luke waited up that night waiting and hopping and wanting Lorelai to return his phone call, but it was getting later and later, and she still hadn't called back. Why isn't she calling me back? She'd usually call me back when I left a message. He thought to himself.

As it got later, he was getting worried and so he got up and walked to Lorelai's house to see if she was even home and maybe hadn't heard his message yet. When he saw her jeep in the driveway and small light on in her bedroom window, his heart had broken. She was home.

He quietly went into the house and up and to her room and peeped open the door and saw the love of his life in what, it seemed to be, a peaceful sleep. He knew she had ignored the message when he saw her sound asleep. As he walked out of her room and down the stairs he began to cry.

Rory, who was in her room heard luke, so she got up even though she had school the next morning. She walked out of her room and over to Luke who was just about to walk out the front door.

"Luke?" Rory whispered.

"Please don't tell your mom I was here." He looked at her crying.

"Luke, are you okay? And I wont tell her." Rory said sympathetically.

"I was just..your mom isn't really talking to me after I told her I thought we should get married.." Luke said.

"I know Luke. Don't worry. My mom is just scared. Give her time. I'm sure everything will be fine." Rory told him softly.

"Alright. Do me a favor. Reming her that I love her." Luke asked.

"Will do." Rory smiled.

As she watched him walk back to the diner, Rory went upstairs and layed next to her mother. Lorelai felt Rory lay down and looked at her and said sleepily, "Rory , what's wrong?".

"I just want to sleep up here, and Mom,..Luke loves you".

Lorelai smiled a little "You can sleep up here, that's fine." They both fell asleep.

Luke layed in bed at his apartment upset, but fell asleep.

The next morning, Lorelai woke up and turned over and shook Rory gently. "Rory, hun, time to get ready for school."

"I know I know" Rory replied and got up and went downstairs to get ready.

Lorelai sat up in bed and all she could think about was Luke. She wanted to talk to him, but she was scared. She wanted to be in love and she wanted to get married, but not because she was pregnant. Lorelai got up and got ready for work. She was starving so she grabbed a couple pop tarts, made some coffee and headed to the inn.

Luke saw her driving past the diner on her way to work and felt worthless. He wanted to run after her but he remembered what Rory said about giving her time. He continued working but was very upset.

Lorelai kept thinking about Luke the whole day. Around 5pm, she called Rory and said she'd be home late and that money was under the monkey lamp. Lorelai decided she's go over to Luke's.

The diner was slow when she walked in. "Hey" Lorelai said softly.

Luke turned around and looked at her. "Lorelai…" he said.

"Well unless someone else in here is named Lorelai, yeah it's me" She laughed a little.

"I'm glad you're here." He smiled.

"It's only been like a day and a half Luke." She smiled.

"I thought you.."

Lorelai cut him off, "I didn't mean to make you upset when I didn't call back".

He looked at her. "I know." He said.

"I just.." Lorelai started.

"I know". Luke said, cutting her off and he held up his hand.

She nodded and sat down at the counter. "There's just been a lot of things on my mind" she whispered as he poured her coffee.

"well you're not the only one" He said and put the coffee pot down..

"I have to know if you want to get married because..you love me?" She asked him as she looked at him with tears in her eyes.
