Oh Baby! Chapter Two

"Sookie! Sookie! Where are you?" Lorelai called out, searching the kitchen for her best friend.

"Over here, Lorelai!"

"Rory and Logan are getting married! She showed me the ring. It's beautiful." Lorelai said.

" Oh, that's great! Uh, Lorelai, you just leaned into my cake." Sookie said a large frown on her face.

" Oops. Sorry Sook. Gotta go!"

Lorelai pranced out of the kitchen, not to cause any more trouble. She walked into the dining room, where the Dragonfly Inn was hosting a croissant-tasting event.

"Who in the world would want to taste croissants for a living?" She said to herself quietly.

Later that night, after work, Luke and Lorelai were in the car on their way to the Bay View Restaurant for dinner.

"So, how was work today, Hun?" Luke asked her, turning his head slightly from the road to the passenger seat where Lorelai sat.

"Well, I crushed Sookie's cake when I was telling her that Rory and Logan are getting married," Lorelai said.

"Oh that doesn't sound too ba—what? Rory and Logan are getting married?" Luke replied, extremely surprised.

" Mhm. She ran into me on the way out of the diner this morning and showed me the ring. Apparently he proposed over a candlelit dinner last night." Lorelai said, looking out her window, " We're here, Babe." Luke stopped the car and got out, followed shortly after by Lorelai. They linked fingers as they walked through the parking lot into the restaurant.

" Just the two of you tonight?" The hostess asked.

" Just us. May we have a booth please?" Luke answered and asked.

" Of course you can. Follow me." The hostess grabbed two menus from their place in the lobby and led the Danes up to their seat, a cherry wood table with a dark red booth. Both Luke and Lorelai sat down on the left side, not wanting to leave each other's side.

" Lorelai, you are the center of my world and I Love You." Luke said, slipping his arm around her shoulders and squeezing gently after the hostess had left.

Lorelai whispered, " I Love you too, and if you play your cards right, I'll let you be the center of my world in about two hours," into his ear.

"Not only the center of your world, but in the center of something else too," Luke said, kissing the soft skin of her temple.

" Dirty!" Lorelai responded. Their waiter, a 40-something man with graying hair and a goatee appeared at their table.

" Good evening, I'm George, and I'll be your waiter tonight. Can I get you something to drink?" The waiter asked. Luke ordered a bottle of champagne for the two of them to share.

An hour and a half later, the couple left the restaurant and were back in Luke's truck, on the way to the Black, White and Red theater in Star's Hollow.

"Luke?" Lorelai asked, "Do you really want to see that movie?"

"Not at all. You?"

"You know what I want to do. Go into Hartford. We'll find a hotel and stay the night. Just let me call Rory and tell her she has the house to herself tonight."
