Chapter 4

Lorelai laid awake next to Luke for what seemed like hours before she finally fell asleep. Covers wrapped around her body, she thought about what had just been said to her. She took in that Luke didn't want her to have his baby, at least not now, when she wanted to. She thought about April, and how she wanted her to be a part of their life, just as Rory was. Why couldn't Lorelai and April have the same relationship that Luke and Rory have? She drifted asleep, dreaming of what could be.

"Lorelai? Honey, Wake up, we have to check out before 11," Luke said, stretching his arms over his head and kissing her on the forehead.

"Don't you be all nice to me now, Buster. I'm still mad at you," Lorelai said, getting out of bed. She turned around to see Luke staring at her. "Lucas Danes, What are you looking at?"

"My gorgeous wife, who doesn't have any clothes on," Luke said, smiling slightly. Lorelai looked down and grabbed the sheet of the bed.

"This body is hidden from you until you apologize," Lorelai said, walking towards the bathroom to shower. Luke got up and got dressed, and then tried to get into the bathroom. He turned the knob to discover it locked, and started knocking. "Do you think I'm stupid, Luke? I know you'll come in here and open the shower curtain. No way. Not until you apologize." Luke shook his head and smiled. He was amazed at how well she knew his thoughts. She knew what he would try to do, but he wanted her back so badly.

"Lorelai, I'm sorry. Really, I am. I didn't understand how what I said last night hurt you so bad. I didn't know. I figured that when you wanted to have kids, we would talk it over, together. I love you, and I want to have a baby with you, I just can't seem to grasp the fact that I have a 12 year old daughter. It's mindblowing. I'm still getting over it and I'm a little stressed. It's nothing personal. Please, Lorelai, forgive me?" Luke pleaded, beginning for forgiveness.

"Go away, and I'll think about it." Luke could deal with that. He got his clothes on and turned the TV on to check out.

Ten minutes later, the bathroom door opened. Lorelai stepped out, wrapped in a towel, with a very stern look on her face. She took three steps, stopped, and smiled. Luke followed her lead, stepping forward and cupping her face in his hands. Gently, he leaned down and touched his lips softly to hers. She broke away first, and wrapped her arms around him, her face on his chest.

"Lorelai, I have a question for you," Luke pulled her arms off his shoulders and took her hands in his. "Lorelai Victoria Danes, will you have my baby?" Lorelai's eyes began to tear up as she nodded her head yes. This time, she looked up into his eyes before closing her own and kissing him on the lips. Slowly, the kiss became more passionate as Luke's lips parted ever so slightly, and encouraging her to explore his mouth, as he was to hers. Lorelai pulled Luke close and broke the kiss.

" I love you, Luke. More than you could ever know. And I love April. I know you don't want me to, but I do. Just like you love Rory, I love April," Lorelai took a breath, examining Luke's face for any clues that could give away his feelings.

"I know you do. I just didn't want you to. I didn't want you to get attached, because I wanted her to myself. I wanted her to get to know me, because when she met you, she couldn't want to spend any time with me. I was just afraid that April would like you better than she likes me, her own father," Luke said emotionally, wrapping his arms around her slender waist. Lorelai stared into his eyes, trying to decide what to do. Finally, she spoke. Her hand on his cheek, she said, "I understand. Now kiss me before I go crazy."

"I can do that." Luke smiled and picked Lorelai up so her legs were around his waist. She closed her eyes.

"I'm waiting…." Luke smiled again and pressed his lips to hers, immediately opening his mouth to accept her waiting tongue. He sucked on her bottom lip as she pulled away. "Now that's what I'm talking about."

"I thought so. Now, a little present for you," Lorelai pulled the towel out from around her and threw it down on the floor.

"Now that's what I'm talking about," Luke sat down on the bed and turned over so she was underneath him. He looked her over, taking in how beautiful she was. He explored her body with his hands, and then his mouth, memorizing her every curve. He pulled her knees apart, and looked. "How is a kid going to fit through there?" Lorelai laughed and covered her face.

"It will. You'll see," she replied, closing her legs and pulling his face to hers, she leaned up for a soft kiss, and then rolled out from under him. "We can't do this now, babe." Luke looked at his watch.

"An hour is enough time for me."
