Lorelai wakes up from the miniscule amount of sleep she had been able to get that night.Burying her head into her pillows did nothing to keep the soft light from washing over her.She squints hopelessly against the light,her blue eyes reflecting with a sharp glow.She wills herself to get up and close the blinds but her body just is not listening.Lips pursed in a small pout she begrudgingly glanced to her alarm clock.She scowled at the obnoxiously bright numbers that read quite boldly for so early 5:30 am.Lorelai had hoped this baby would not be a morning person but apparently it was.She tried not to think of the baby but a small part was excited about the prospect of a new life-she could help shape.A small part of her wondered if the baby would look like her or if -God forbid-if the baby would like vegetables.Lorelai had not known any of Jacks little quirks so she would have to wait and find out.
After taking a shower,a long hot shower,Lorelai emerged from the bathroom-make up fixed and hair gently curled.She was filled with relief that the morning sickness had slackened off,Fernando would sadly have to accept his loss.Fixing herself with a smile and giving herself a once over in the mirror to make sure no-one could see through her happy front she bounced out the door.
Glancing to her jeep she quickly decided to opt for the sidewalk-it certainly was a nice enough day for some on foot traveling.Not that she would ever know what kind of day was good for foot traveling-she the queen of anti-exercise.Brow furrowing as she made her way down the sidewalk she could not figure out how she could have possibly gotten up so early.The laws of the universe clearly stated that a Gilmore Girl could not get up before 7:00 am at the least or all hell would break loose.Or so Lorelai believed.Her tennis shoes clicked softly on the concrete,her coat wrapped loosely around her.She was known for wearing crazy outfits but some would say a fall coat in the summer was a bit over the top but it was the only way Lorelai could shield the prying eyes of the town-even if they did not know yet or that no one was out and about at 6 in the morning.She was half-way to Lukes,her only destination that day.Sookie had forced her to take the day off ,relieve some of her pent up stress.To that Lorelai laughed. What stress ? But of course it was not that easy to forget or pass off.
Finally the excruciating five minute walk was over and Lukes was in sight.Almost bouncing with glee Lorelai entered -thoroughly shocked to see all tables were taken and the only seat available was right at the counter-next to the register.Sighing she took her post,eyeing the early morning crowd-she only knew half the people in there,which was saying something because Lorelai believed her self to know all the quirky characters of the town.Tapping her fingers softly upon the counter she chewed her lip.
She starts suddenly when a loud annoying and always-but not by choice- familiar voice yaps in her ear.
"Hey Kirk." She says warily as he spouts on about his new dog washing business.
"Its only 5.00 and I ll take half price off for my friends.I can do
small dogs,big dogs,medium dogs...but its from 6:00 am to 10:00
am...mother is particular about her bath times."
"Kirk...I dont have a dog."She reminds him,wondering silently if he could get any weirder.
Kirks face falls and he sighs
.Lorelai tries not to laugh and almost jumps Luke as he makes his way around the counter
"Luke !" Lorelai exclaims grabbing his arm as he moves around the counter.
He turns almost spilling scalding hot coffee upon Lorelai.
"Jeez ! " Luke exclaims not quite realizing who had tugged upon the sleeves of his flannel.
"Coffee ?" She asks,adding a small pout.
Luke leans over to her a determined glare in his eyes.
"You know I wont give you any !"
"Dirty !"
"Stop.Lorelai no coffee ! At all."
"Luke !" she gasps.
Luke shrugs and continues on his way-filling other customers cups left
and right-Lorelai gazing dejectedly after him.A slight pout lingering
on the corners of her mouth alerted Luke that she was not going to give
up on her demand for coffee-even if she had decided she did not want to
risk it-.He knows she has left her stool-he knows shes following him.
"Luke please !" She begs,slipping agilely after him as he wound his way around the diner.
He turns on the balls of his feet and looks her straight in the eyes.
"No." Voice firm and gruff.
Her mouth twitches downward and she sighs.
"Can I at least have decaf ?"
"Half a cup." He bargains.
"Luke !" she whines.
"Half a cup." he says again."Final offer."
"Fine." she huffs,going back to her seat at the counter.
Its the lunch lull and Lorelai still sits at the counter-although she is the only one there and could easily move to any other place.She is busily scribbling in a small notebook-trying to juggle her schedule with the function she had to run at the inn.Out of habit she reached for her coffee only to come up with a glass of water.A slight frown edged her face as she looked around for Luke.Not being able to spot him she remains seated and continues planning.
The diner is pretty crowded and Lorelai really needs some caffeine.
"I need coffee.There is no choice." She begs when he comes by.
"Well I am giving you one..no coffee..or no coffee."He growls,rounding the counter to sort receipts.
"Luke !" She turns in her chair to stare at him wide eyed.
"Decaf."
"No ! I need caffeine !" She begs.
"Half a cup of decaf."
"Luke." Her voice is now a whine.
"Lorelai." Luke mocks.
"Kirk." Kirk chimes in.Both Luke and Lorelai turn to glare at him so he retreats muttering something about bath time.
"Luke just one cup of coffee..it wont kill me !"
"It will."
"Will not." She pouted.
"Too..decaf take it or leave it."
"Ill take it..." She sighed.
"Good." Luke nodded and poured her her decaf.
"I still dont see why I cant have caffeine." She commented.
"Lorelai..you know why." Luke cast a look around the crowded diner.
"No why ?" What better time then the present then to let the town know now.
"Lorelai !" Luke said exasperated.
"Fine I know...but its not fair ! The baby would learn to love coffee."
Immediately all gossip ears were on Lorelai.
"Darling." Ms.Patty started turning from her table at the center of the diner."Did you just say baby ?"
Lorelai nodded taking a sip from her cup nonchalantly."Yea.."
"Oh my god doll ." Babbette chimed in.
"Are you really ?" Ms.Patty asked.
Lorelai nodded.
Squeals erupted from both gossip queens and Lorelai deduced it would be around town with in the hour.
"Is it Lukes ?" A voice sounding suspiciously like Kirks came from the corner table.
Lorelais smile faltered but she held strong.She knew these questions would come and had been expecting them.
"No no..not Lukes." She cleared .
"So its that Jacks guy ?" Babbette asked.
"Uhm...yes." Lorelai admitted.
"Well where is he ?" Babbette prodded.
"Hes uh gone..." Lorelai admitted and glanced up to Luke who gave her a reassuring glance.
Murmurs of sympathy echoed throughout the diner but soon the conversation switched back to excitement and stayed that way until the late evening lull.
"You still here ?" Luke asked in disbelief as he came from the kitchen.
"Yea still here." Lorelai nodded.
"Dont you have a inn to run ?" Luke asked as he wiped the counter.
"Sookie made me take the day off." Lorelai said.
"Oh."
"Yea."
"Listen Lorelai." Luke started but did not look up.
"Yea ?" She asked.
"If you need any help..Im...well Im here." He met her eye for a moment before looking back down.
"I know...thanks Luke." Lorelai smiled softly down at her glass of water-Luke had forbidden her anymore coffee decaf or not for the rest of the day.After a brief period of silence Lorelai stood up.
"I better get going...thanks again Luke...for the other night..and being there."
"No problem."
Lorelai gave him one last smile before heading out the door,the echoing chime of the bells lingering long after she had gone.
