It's been three weeks since Luke and I got back together, three wonderful weeks. Everyday after closing up his diner Luke would bring over a box from his apartment and we would go through it together. He still sleeps at his apartment every night, although he has told me that he misses sleeping next to me. My parents gave Luke a bit of a talking to when we had dinner with them, then my father took Luke into his study and left me with my mother. In other news Rory and Triston are still dating, she even had dinner with his family. Tonight Luke and I are getting ready for dinner at my parents ware Rory and Triston have an announcement. When she asked over the phone if Luke was going to be there too, I had said yes then continued to ask question to guess what she had to say.
"Do you think she's pregnant?" Luke asked worriedly as we got out of his truck. "She better not be, they just started dating." I mumbled as I took Luke's hand and dragged him to my parents front door. "Could they be engaged?" Luke asked thoughtfully before ringing the doorbell. "God I hope not, there to young." I stated with a sigh as I continued to fidget. "Okay lets hear it, what's the worst thing going through your mind." Luke stated as he turned me so we faced each other. "There getting married because he got Rory pregnant, and she's dropping out of school to stay at home and raise the baby." I blurted taking hold of Luke's hands. "Okay then no matter what happens in there tonight it can only be better." Luke pointed out just before the door opened. After handing our coat's to the maid Luke grabbed my hand as we walked to the living room. "Lorelai Luke, Emily's been trying to get whatever it is out since they arrived." Dad stated fondly from the wingchair. "Well what else do you expect me to do Richard, I need to know!" Mom stated rolling her eyes as she stood from the couch. "Yes but Rory wanted to wait to tell everyone at once." Dad argued back with a smile. "Martini for you Lorelai, and what would you like Luke?" Mom asked walking to the drink cart. "Yes please. Water." Luke and I answered at the same time. "Luke this is Triston, Triston this is Luke; and you remember my mom Lorelai." Rory stated with a smile as Luke and Triston shook hands. "Nice to meet you sir, Rory's told me a lot about you." Triston said as he held Rory's hand. "Hi baby, I've missed you. Talking on the phone sure is no substitute for seeing you." I greeted Rory with a tight hug. "I've missed you to mom." Rory stated patting my arm as I held her. With that the maid came in announcing dinner was ready, so we all filled into the dining room.
"Triston and I are moving in together, we found a nice little apartment near campus in our budget." Rory announced after we had all sat down to eat. No one said anything for a good two minutes, to stunned to respond. "Well honey have the two of you really talked this through, living together is a big step; in any relationship." I asked setting my silverware down and holding Rory's gaze. "We have been talking about this for a couple of months now. When we saw the apartment we discussed ware all the furniture would go, how we would spend our money, everything." Rory stated watching me. "That's good, but did you have the place inspected to make sure everything worked right?" I asked looking between the two of them. "Yes, my uncle is a city inspector. He came over and had a vary thoroughly, the only problem he had with the apartment is that we paid to much for it." Triston stated speaking up for the first time since sitting down. "Well it sounds like the two of you have everything under control. Now why don't we eat before the food get's cold." I explained after taking a moment to think about things.
After dinner was over dad asked Luke and Triston into his study, while mom had Rory and I sit in the living room. "So have the two of you talked about the wedding?" Mom asked as I took a sip of my martini. "Mom they just moved in together, don't go marrying her of just yet; I'd like for her to graduate first." I teased setting my drink down. "I meant you and Luke! Honestly Lorelai!" Mom huffed leaning back in her chair. "Right now Luke and I are taking things slow, and making sure that were talking to each other. Besides he officially moves in next Saturday." I announce happily. "So what are you going to do with your old wedding dress mom?" Rory asked before mom could say anything. "I don't know, why your still to young to get married." I answer as I grab a mint from the glass bowl on the coffee table. "Well I was just wondering if you were still going to use it for your wedding." Rory asked before glancing at dad's study. "Relax your boy is fine, Luke and you're grandfather on the other hand I have no idea." I stated with a wave as I got up to refill my martini. "How has Luke been with the whole April situation?" Mom asked as she watched me. " Really good actually, and Luke is even going after Anna for joint custody. We're just waiting to be notified of the court date." I explain sitting down on the sofa.
The next morning when I went into Luke's for my morning cup of coffee before work, I was met with a nervous Luke running around the diner. "Luke doll what's wrong?" I ask sitting at the counter and taking his hand. "I got the court date in the mail this morning." Was all Luke said before taking of again. "So when is it, and why are you so nervous all of a sudden?" I ask holding up my mug when Luke came back behind the counter. "Two weeks in family court, and I have no idea." Luke stated as he poured me some coffee. "I'll make sure to get time off that morning, and we can just go from there. We can't do anything else about it right now." I stated holding his hand. With a sigh Luke was of again tending to his customers, and soon I had finished my coffee and of to work.
