Lorelai, Rory and Zoe had been living in their new house for over a year and were starting to become more involved with the town. Lorelai had a late start at work so she walked Rory to school with Zoe in her stroller. They were walking past the grocery store on the way back to the house and Lorelai decided she wanted a coffee and pushed Zoe's stroller into the relatively crowded diner.
"I guess we'll sit here." Lorelai said to the small girl, who was content with the small box of raisins that Lorelai gave her.
"Is this yours?" A man came up to their table and Lorelai looked up to the man.
"Yes, she is," Lorelai furrowed her brows. "Do you have a problem with it?"
"What would you do if I did?" He asked now.
"You are talking about my daughter? She hasn't made a peep." Lorelai responded.
Zoe was looking at Luke from her stroller. She had inherited Lorelai's curls and her smile but somehow had almost strawberry blonde hair that was clearly a recessive gene. Lorelai and Rory had bright blue eyes but Zoe's were a blue-green that would change from looking more blue or green depending on the weather.
"She will," He commented. "Just give it time."
"She is a baby not a bomb," Lorelai retorted. "If she starts crying, we will leave."
"Coffee?" He asked.
"Yes please." Lorelai mumbled.
Lorelai couldn't believe this man. All the people she had met in the town were lovely but her one interaction with him made her mad. She just couldn't believe it and spent most of her lunch break complaining about him to Sookie.
"That's just Luke," Sookie shrugged. "He isn't much of conversationalist."
"You don't say." Lorelai commented.
"I just don't know how he could love this little thing right away." Sookie cooed to Zoe who she was feeding lunch to.
The next day Lorelai and the girls were walking in the town square trying to work out what to have for dinner.
"How about Luke's?" Rory asked.
"I am not going back in there." Lorelai scoffed.
"The muffins you got yesterday were nice, maybe the rest of his food is good too." Rory said now.
"Fine," Lorelai sighed. "But I am purposely going to make Zoe cry in there."
"Mum, don't." Rory looked at her as Lorelai scowled.
They found a table and it wasn't long before he came up them and recognised Lorelai and Zoe right away.
"Your just going to keep bringing more children in here with you, aren't you." He said now.
"I only have six more at home," Lorelai joked as Luke looked at her in disbelief. "I am kidding. I only have these two."
"We'll have two burgers." Rory broke the silence and he wrote down the order.
"Coming right up," Luke said as he walked away, and then turned around. "That baby cries-"
"And we're out, I know." Lorelai raised her hands.
"I like him." Rory smiled.
"Oh yeah, he is the dream man." Lorelai said under her breath.
