Ok, it took longer but only because I didn't want to update until FF was back to running normally, but since that can take forever I just decided to update.
Kylie: I don't know what to say Kylie X.
This is dedicated to my (real) Mom who's been sick for the last couple of weeks but is better now. And for my (adoptive) Mom who is having surgery on Thrusday.
.o0 October 2004, Stars Hollow 0o.
Rory had gone back to Yale, not before getting a long talk from Luke on how she didn't need to worry about money or the baby. Luke made her swear she wouldn't get a job, or make Sky get one either.
So far, Lorelai's clothes still fit and the only symptom she was having was all-day morning sickness, which was starting to disappear now that she was about the leave her third month.
"Lorelai!" Sookie ran into the house carrying Davey. "Lorelai!"
"What's wrong?" Lorelai groaned concerned from the couch, where she was lying down with a moist towel on her forehead and a faded-out-squished teddy bear.
"Davey is not working anymore because Taylor is giving out Ice cream so I need Sky" Sookie ranted.
"What are you talking about?" Lorelai frowned; she really didn't want to laugh for fear of upsetting her stomach.
"Town selectman. We had Jackson walk around town with Davey, you know, the whole 'kissing the baby' technique"
"Aha"
"But then that stopped working when Taylor started giving away free ice cream to every registered voter in town. Damn Taylor"
"Ok, with you so far"
"So now I need Sky"
"You lost me" Lorelai finally opened her eyes and turned to look at Sookie who was pacing around the living room while bouncing Davey.
"I figured if Taylor was giving away a sweet treat to every registered voter, we could do that too"
"And Sky is gonna help with that?"
"Yep. We're getting him a kissing booth" Sookie announced proudly.
"What?!" this time Lorelai couldn't help but laugh.
"Come on, Lorelai. That boy is Luke's spitting image, he's the star athlete; your boy is hot, girls will line up for miles"
"Yes and so will Miss Patty, I don't want to subject my boy to that; besides I think that's prostitution"
"Oh come on" Sookie deflated. "How about a kiss on the cheek? Or dealers choice?"
"Sookie, I'm not gonna let Sky kiss half of Stars Hollow"
"But…"
"Besides, he wouldn't want to either"
"Hey aunt Sookie" Sky greeted walking into the house with his backpack and duffle bag.
"Run" Lorelai told him.
"Yes, coach" he teased before giving his mother a kiss on the cheek. "How are you feeling?"
"Right now, nauseas because of Sookie" Lorelai told him and Sookie just rolled her eyes.
"O-kay" Sky frowned.
"Hey, Sky, you like kissing, right? Sure you do, you're a teenage boy" Sookie started.
"Where is she going with this?" Sky asked Lorelai.
"You don't want to know. Sookie, I already told you no, and if Luke hears what you're planning he'll kill you"
"If you're planning something that includes me, please stop" Sky begged, he had a bad history with his Aunt Sookie's plans.
.o0 Eight years ago 0o.
"Aunt Sookie, I need help" sky said while climbing up to take a seat on a stool at the independence inn.
"What's wrong?"
"Mothers Day is coming…" he started in an anguish tone. "and I don't know what to do"
"About what? I thought Luke was taking you and Rory to the mall"
"I want to make her something. We already made her something in school, all by ourselves, but I want to put something else there; something I made"
"That's so sweet. What do you have in mind?"
"I don't know. Oh! My Dad showed me how to make a slingshot!" Sky said proudly.
"I don't think Lorelai knows how to use one"
"I can show her"
"I think she'd manage to hurt herself or break a couple windows"
"Dad doesn't like it when I break windows"
"See"
"Ok then… oh! Something with chocolate!" the spark in his eyes came back.
"A cake?" Sookie offered, it was easy enough for him to help.
"No, I want something better, biggerer, and harderer"
"Umm…" Sookie started thinking.
"Sky, come on, we're going to the diner for lunch" Lorelai's voice was heard and he made a trapped look.
"Don't worry, I'll think it over and come up with something" Sookie assured him.
"Thank, aunt Sookie" she smiled and hopped off the stool. "Mom, did Dad make brownies…" Sookie heard him ask as his voice got softer and softer.
.o0 Later that Night 0o.
Luke and Lorelai had been looking into getting a house now that Luke had proposed, so far they had been living in an apartment Luke had leased before Lorelai and the kids moved back. The apartment had three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it was the first time Rory and Sky had their own room and when they had first moved in they couldn't believe it; actually they had spent a good couple of week waking up in the master bedroom because they had gotten scared.
"Its eerie quiet here" Luke called walking into their apartment.
"Mrs. Kim took the girls to mass" Lorelai said flipping through the channels.
"It's Saturday" he plopped next to her, arm coming to rest on her shoulders.
"Ok… Mrs. Kim took them to Saturday mass" she corrected and Luke rolled his eyes.
"And Sky?"
"Sookie's got him"
"Why?"
"I have no idea, for all I know she's selling him to slavery"
"As long as she gives us our fair share" Luke said absentmindedly while taking the remote from her hand.
.o0 Sookie's 0o.
"So it's all chocolate?" Sky asked incredibly.
"Yep" Sookie nodded getting everything ready.
"My whole hand?"
"Yes"
"All chocolate?"
"Yes"
"How?"
"We'll put your hand here…" she motioned so some sort of goo that'll harden within minutes. "and after that we'll just pour the chocolate there and let it harden"
"Cool!"
.o0 Minutes Later 0o.
"Ok now, put you hand straight in; no bending your fingers" Sookie told him. Sky did as told but then frowned, in his mind a closed fist was bigger than an open hand so before the goo got too hard he made a half opened fist.
"How much longer?" Sky whined.
"Just a little longer, the chocolate is almost ready" a couple seconds passed before Sookie turned to Sky. "Ok, let's get this off" Sookie grabbed his wrist lightly and began pulling carefully.
"Ow" Sky whispered.
"Sorry, honey. Let's try jiggling it a little"
"Ow" Sky said again.
"Sorry, you try pulling it out"
"I can't open my hand" Sky told her and Sookie's eye popped out.
"You closed your hand?" he heard panic in her voice and started whimpering, he'll have that thing on his hand forever; thinking that made him cry. "Don't cry"
"My hand" he kept crying.
"It's ok" she kept trying to wiggle his hand out.
"No! My hand" he crying desperately. The doorbell rang.
"That should be your Mom" Sookie told him with a cheery voice but it didn't help I hope Lorelai knows what to do. "Luke?"
"Hi Lorelai said…" Luke heard Sky. "What's wrong?" he pushed inside. "Sky?"
"Daddy!" he cried harder,
"Sky, what's going on, where does it hurt?" Luke asked a little scared by the cries; he was yet to see sky's hand.
"My hand!"
"What's wrong with… oh" he took noticed of his son's predicament.
"We were going to make a model of his hand in chocolate for Mother's Day" Sookie told Luke.
"I closed my hand" Sky told his Dad crying.
"It's ok, kid, we'll get it off" Luke promised.
"No, it'll be here forever!"
"Sky, relax" Luke told him with a firm voice and Sky stopped. "Let's go to the Diner to take this off"
"It's heavy"
"Don't pout" Luke helped Sky carry the block of half dry goo.
"Luke…?" Sookie started when she saw them getting up.
"I'll take it off at the Diner"
"Oh, ok"
.o0 Minutes Later 0o.
Sky's cries had stopped when they had gotten to the diner.
"Sit here and stop crying; I'll go get a tube" Luke told Sky while helping him place his hand on the counter and take a sit on a stool.
"Ok" he said quietly and with a hint of sadness.
"I'll be right back"
a little later Luke had a tube full of water on one of the tables, Sky was standing next to it with his hand in it, since the goo hadn't solidified completely yet Luke thought he could soften it enough so scrap it off.
"Why are you so sad about this? You're not in trouble"
"I know" Sky mumbled.
"Then…?"
"It was a Mothers Day gift. We were going to make her a piece of chocolate as big as my hand"
"Why?"
"Because it's Mothers Day and I want to give my Mom something"
"I was already taking you and Rory to the mall to get Lorelai something"
"I wanted to make her something" Sky admitted shyly.
"You already did, in school"
"I wanted to make her something better, and Sookie said that a sling shot was not a good idea"
"She's right, Lorelai might break a window… or her arm"
"You can't break an arm with a sling shot" Sky argued.
"Your Mom can"
"How?"
"She'd find a way" Luke told sky with a slight chuckle. "We're almost done here" Sky got sad again. "Tell you what, when we're at the mall I'll take you to one of those 'build-a-bear' places your Mom is always babbling about and you can make her a teddy bear"
"Really?" Sky's eyes lit up.
"Yep"
"And I can dress it up however I want to?"
"As long as it's for your Mom, yes"
"Of course for Mom, teddy bears are girlish" Luke chuckled and nodded.
"Ok then, you'll build your Mom a bear"
"Yeah!"
.o0 Later That Night 0o.
"What the hell took so long?" Lorelai asked as soon as her guys walked through the door.
"Sorry, Mom"
"Go get ready for bed" she told Sky and he obliged. "Sookie called over half an hour ago asking if Sky was ok, what happened?" Luke visually deflated.
"Can't tell you, it's a guy thing" Luke said before walking towards their bedroom.
"Don't pull that guy stuff on me. It might work for you when I tell you it's a girl thing, but something happened to my little boy tonight and I want to know"
"Your little boy, is fine and I can't tell you because it's a guy thing"
"But…" she followed him.
"Sorry"
.o0 Back to the Present, Living Room 0o.
"I'm still traumatized about it" Sky gave Sookie the puppy eyes, Lorelai giggled. "Plus, I don't want Patty chasing after me… again"
"Ignore Patty, think off all the girls you'll get to kiss; any other boy would kill to be in your position"
"Then get another boy to do it, and let them deal with Miss Patty"
"But girls don't like the other boys, they like you" Sookie told him in a begging voice.
"I'm flattered, really, but…"
"You're Sky, you're a Danes, you're a start athlete and you're as hot as your father and…"
"Sookie, stop hitting on my kid… and my husband"
"Sorry aunt Sookie, but if you think of something else I'd love to help out"
"Can we get people to vote for you if they watch you exercise?" Sookie wondered out loud.
"Something that's not embarrassing to me, or puts me on the spot" Sky clarified before heading up to his room.
