And here ya go, as promised, a fast update.
It's starting to take more shape… I think.
N'joy
Once Lorelai got to town she started driving slower, and not just because that was the speed limit Taylor had. Memories flooded her mind the moment she saw the first glimpse of her old town.
"Mommy, I gotta to go" sky whined.
"Oh, ok honey. Can you hold on a little?" Lorelai said already thinking of her plan of action.
"Just a little" he nodded.
"How bout you?" she turned to Rory.
"I'm thirsty"
"Ok" Lorelai nodded. Ok that settles it… Luke's it is.
Lorelai parked near the gazebo; on the opposite side from the Diner, closer to Miss Patty's.
"Thought you said not to pee outside?" sky asked her while jumping out of the jeep and taking a look around town.
"Ski!" Lorelai giggled. "You are not going to pee outside" he started laughing.
"You said pee" he couldn't stop.
"You're gonna wet your pants if you keep doing that" Rory told him, and that's when it hit Lorelai: she was standing in the middle of town, about to go into the Diner to see Luke after more than 6 years and he was going to meet his son… today, right now.
"Mom!" sky started squirming more.
"Umm… ok, here" Lorelai was losing her nerve so she just reached into her purse and pulled out a twenty. "Go into the Diner, take him to the bathroom then order something to eat; I'll be there in a sec, ok? There's something I have to do"
"But…?" Rory frowned.
"Go honey, its ok" Lorelai gave them a slight push in the direction of the Diner.
"We don't know this town" Rory argued.
"You don't have too. The Diner is right there; I'll be there in a few minutes; just stay there and order something"
"Rory! I gotta go" sky was jumping in place.
.o0 Diner 0o.
"Hi, where's the bathroom?" Rory asked the guy with the coffee pot.
"Back over there" Caesar pointed to the side.
"Thanks" by the time Rory finished saying the word, sky had already run off towards where Caesar had pointed.
"Sure. Boss, I'm leaving!" Caesar called to the kitchen, he set the pot down behind the counter, took off his apron and left.
"See you tomorrow Caesar, on time this time" Luke said coming out of the kitchen whipping his hands on a rag. Caesar waved Luke off as he exited; Luke rolled his eyes and turned to the counter. "Are you lost?" he asked Rory.
"No"
"Ok then" he then went back to the kitchen since he had left something on the grill.
"So much better" sky exclaimed walking up to Rory and sitting down on a stool. Luke came out of the kitchen with a plate of food and frowning. After delivering the plate he walked behind the counter and stood in front of Rory and sky.
"Do you have money?"
"My Mommy gave us some" sky announced proudly.
"Ok then, what do you want?" Luke looked expectantly at them, while at the same time trying to remember where he had seen Rory before.
"Can you make shakes?" sky asked him with big eyes.
"Yes"
"A vanninna shake?"
"Vanilla" Rory automatically corrected.
"Yes, I can" Luke was getting annoyed with them, and because he couldn't remember where he had seen Rory before.
"Ok! I want one"
"Alright, you too?" Luke turned to Rory.
"No, I want a cup of coffee please" Rory asked politely
"No coffee, you're too young"
"But… you can't say no to paying costumers"
"Yes I can. You're not getting coffee here; you're too young; what are you, eight, nine?"
"She's ten" sky said.
"Still too young"
"Fine… how bout chili fries?"
"That I can get you"
"And a coke" Rory added before Luke turned around to leave.
.o0 Starts Hollow Streets 0o.
After making sure both kids had walked into the Diner, Lorelai turned around and made her way to the dance studio. After a couple of deep breaths she opened the big wooden door and walked inside.
"Miss Patty? Are you here?" Lorelai asked tentatively.
"I know that voice" Patty said, she had been putting away all the knick-knacks she and Babbette had brought from their trip. "Oh, my God!" Patty stopped short once she saw Lorelai.
"Hi, Patty" Lorelai waved shyly. Patty hurried over to give Lorelai a big hug.
"Oh Honey! How've you been? What brings you back here? Oh, God, are you here to stay?"
"Umm, no… I…Did you tell Luke?" Lorelai just laid it out there, no need to beat around the bush; her kids were waiting for her in the Diner.
"Tell Luke what?"
"Patty..."
"I knew it was you" patty broke out in a smile.
"Yes. Did you tell Luke?"
"We just got back from our trip this morning Hon; no one knows we're here yet"
"Ok…" Lorelai took a deep cleansing breath. "Ok, good"
"Is that why you left?" leave it to Patty to be so straight forward.
"Patty…"
"Luke deserves to know; that's one handsome boy you two have, he deserves a father"
"I have to go" Lorelai turned and started heading for the door.
"He hasn't dated anyone since you left him" Lorelai stopped but didn't turn around, she just acted like she didn't hear that last part.
"Oh, and could you not tell Luke; thank you" she didn't wait for a response.
.o0 The Diner 0o.
Both kids had what they ordered sitting in front of them; Rory was sharing her fries but since sky wasn't big on chili he'd grab a fry, wrap a napkin around it until it was chili less, and then he'd put ketchup on it before eating it.
"Do you want your own fries?" Luke asked when he noticed all the used up napkins next to sky.
"No" sky shook his head.
"No, thank you" Rory corrected with a smile; Luke nodded and went over to Kirk's table to see if he was ready to order, he had been there for a while and he still 'wasn't sure' what he wanted.
Sky was running low on milk shake, so he started slurping the last remainders; making an annoying sound while doing so.
"Stop it" Rory told him. "Do you want another one?" sky kept slurping; Luke was getting beyond annoyed, so far the kids had been nice, polite and quite but now they were becoming annoying and Kirk was there so that made it worse. "Sky…"
"Rory…" Sky imitated the same tone of voice she did; Luke's head snapped up Rory? Of course! I knew she looked familiar, but who's the boy? Before he knew what he was doing, he started walking over to the counter forgetting he was taking Kirk's order.
"Luke? Luke? Hey, you were taking my order, Luke?!" Kirk shrieked.
"Rory, he knows my name" sky said a little scared, Luke stopped dead on his tracks; the bells above the door jingled but Luke didn't hear them since he was focusing on the two kids at his counter. "Mommy!" sky jumped off of the stool and ran to hug Lorelai around the waist; she just stood by the door. Luke's eyes followed the little boy until two arms hugged the boy; he followed the arms up until he finally reached two very familiar blue eyes.
"Hi" Lorelai said quietly.
