Luke and Lorelai decided to take a few weeks off work to be with William (his nickname would be Will). After those weeks passed, they decided that Lorelai would work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Luke would work Thursday and Friday, and they would spend the weekends together. It was Monday and Luke's first time alone with Will.
Everything was going fine; Luke had just given Will his bottle and changed his diaper. Lorelai had to teach him how to change diapers, and although at first he was a little disgusted, he got used to it. He set Will down in his crib for a nap. After about a minute, Will suddenly bursts out crying. "Hey… what's the matter?" Luke asked him. He scooped him up and cradled him. Will continued to cry and Luke tried to give him the bottle again, but he didn't drink it. He checked his diaper, but it was still clean. Luke began to panic, he knew Lorelai trusted him to be alone with Will, but he also knew he had to call her because she'd know what to do. While still holding Will, he pulled out his cell phone and called the Dragonfly Inn. "Dragonfly Inn, Michel speaking."
"Um, hi Michel… it's Luke. Could you give the phone to Lorelai please?" Luke asked him.
"Is this a personal call?" Michel asked, sounding annoyed. "Michel, please it's kind of an emergency."
"Alright." Michel replied with a sigh. Luke waited a couple minutes until he heard Lorelai pick up the phone.
"Luke? Is everything alright?"
"Lorelai, I'm sorry to call you when you're busy, but uh I can't get Will to stop crying."
"Oh, no. Did you give him a bottle and change his diaper?"
"Yeah I did both of those things."
"Okay, how about y burping him? Did you try that? And then sit in the rocking chair and rock him to sleep, he likes that."
"Oh yeah, I can't believe I forgot to burp him!" Hold on a minute I'll try that." Luke puts the phone down and moves to the rocking chair and holds Will close to him with his chin resting on his shoulder. He pats Will's back until he burps and after a minute, Will stops crying. Luke holds him with one arm and picks up the phone with his other hand. "It worked, thanks Lorelai I know I told you I can handle this and I'm sorry I had to call you."
"It's alright, Luke you're a first time father of a baby. I would have been a mess without my parents helping me with Rory the first year."
"Yeah, oh, you should probably get back to work." Luke says. "Yeah, I'll see you two when I get back. Bye, Hon. I love you."
"I Love you too, bye." Luke hangs up and sets the phone down. He holds Will and gently rocks the chair until Will's asleep. Then he takes him back to his crib and sets him down gently. "Sweet dreams, Buddy." He whispers.
A few hours later, Lorelai returned to find Luke cooking diner and Will in his bassinet. "Hi, Hon." She greets Luke with a quick kiss.
"Hi. How was your day?" Luke asks.
"It was fine, just busy." Lorelai replies as she walks over to Will. She picks him up and says: "Hi how's my baby?" He coos and makes other baby noises. She smiles at him. "I missed you, Will and I missed your Daddy too." Luke looks at her and smiles.
Later that evening after Lorelai puts Will to bed, she finds Luke watching the TV downstairs. "Is he sleeping?" Luke asks her.
"Yeah," She replies simply. They watch TV together for an hour and when they can't find anything else to watch, Lorelai suddenly kisses him. He kisses her back, but then pulls away. "What was that?" He asks, curiously. Lorelai looks at him, "Luke, we haven't had time to ourselves since Will was born."
Luke thought about it, "Yeah, you're right." He puts his arm around her shoulders and pulls her in for another kiss. Their kisses soon become passionate and heated and Luke takes off his shirt. Lorelai reaches to unbutton his jeans and he grabs the hem of her shirt. Lorelai removes her shirt and Luke stands and starts to take off his jeans. Then they hear Will crying on the baby monitor. They both sigh and quickly put their clothes back on and go upstairs.
The next night, Lorelai returns home after a late night at the Inn. "Hey, I'm home. Sorry I'm so late. We were so busy…" She trails off when she doesn't hear Luke answer. "Luke? Where are you?" She walks around the house looking for him. She gets to the family room and finds Luke, lying on the couch. Will is lying on Luke's chest and he's asleep, but Luke is also asleep. Lorelai smiles at the adorable sight. She kneels on the floor next to the couch and tries to wake Luke by kissing his cheek. He opens his eyes. "Hi." Lorelai whispers.
"Hi." He whispers back.
"Both of you were sleeping, it was so cute." Lorelai tells him.
"Yeah…" He yawns. "I'm exhausted." He slowly sits up and manages to hold Will without moving him too much and he stays asleep.
"Then let's head to bed." Lorelai says. Luke stands up and Lorelai takes Will from him. They go upstairs to the master bedroom where Will's crib is. Lorelai sets him down while Luke goes to the bathroom. Lorelai changes her clothes then waits on the bed for him. Luke comes out of the bathroom and gets in the bed.
"Are you sure you don't mind going to bed this early?" Luke asks her.
"Of course not, I'm tired too. It's almost eleven." Luke nods then reaches over and turns off the lamp on the bedside table. He turns towards Lorelai and leans in to kiss her goodnight. He gives her two quick kisses and whispers; "Night."
"Night," She whispers back, they both settle in the bed, close to each other with Luke's pillow right next to her's and their legs touching under the sheets.
