Oh you evil, evil people. You asked for it, you got it. Call it a three-shot, call it a hat trick but this is it. I have ventured beyond the finale and gave you the "focus" you were all asking for. Hee.

Enjoy it. This time it's really it.

Shifting Focus

Luke slowly walked up the steps Lorelai's front door. He hadn't seen her since she and Rory left the diner earlier this morning. He had asked if he could stop by and she agreed but as he crossed the porch he was struck by how quiet the house was. He knocked. The door opened.

"Hey," Lorelai said, her sad eyes lighting up when she saw him.

He walked into the house then gave her a kiss. "Hey." He held up a big take-out bag. "Burgers, fries and coffee. You haven't eaten all day."

"How do you know that? I'm starved," she admitted.

"The whole town has been watching out for you. Sookie came and told me you hadn't been to the Inn all day and then tried to pump me for information about the two of us." Luke said as he put the bag on the coffee table and sat on the couch.

"You told her?" Lorelai asked in surprise. She sat down next to him.

"No," he shook his head. "Jackson did."

"How did he find out?"

"We left the charcoal on the sidewalk," he explained.

"The whole town knows?"

"No, just Sookie and Jackson."

"And Rory."

"You told her?"

"Is there an echo in here?" Lorelai asked. "She figured it out when she saw us this morning. She could tell something major had happened."

"Major huh?" Luke said speculatively. "Gee, I wonder what it was."

Lorelai gave him a look them immediately moved to sit on his lap. She took off his blue hat and tossed it on the table.

"What could it be?" she asked as she began kissing his neck. "It may have been you planning her party," she went on nibbling his neck as one of his hands cupped her rear and the other caressed her thigh. "Or possibly you making the tent and cooking all the food. It could have been kissing me in front of the diner, or giving me this," she fingered her necklace. "Personally I think it was conning Taylor into helping clean up."

"Do not mention Taylor when you are doing that," he said breathlessly. She was driving him wild. He captured her lips in a passionate kiss. After a long moment, they both drew back for air.

"What were we talking about?" she asked dreamily.

"Uh, Rory figuring out that we were back together," he said, finally remembering.

"Oh, yeah," Lorelai sighed as Luke hand slowly moved up her back. His other hand moved up to her hip with maddening slowness and then his fingers teased the bare skin between her jeans and her top. "She was a little put out that I hadn't told her, but once I explained that we were focused on getting her out to Iowa, she was okay with it."

"Hmmm," he said. It was his turn to nibble at her neck and he knew just the spot that would have her at his mercy. His hand slipped under her shirt and he stroked her stomach.

"I told her," Lorelai was finding it hard to concentrate. "Ah… I told her we would focus on us once she was on her way."

"Focus on us, huh?" he asked. "You're sure you're ready to focus on us? Rory just left today."

Lorelai thought about how devastatingly unhappy she had been the past few months compared to how deliriously happy she was now. "Rory is starting her new life and we are too. I am more than ready." She nudged her hip against him and said naughtily, "I can tell you're ready too."

Luke chuckled, "Completely your fault." His gaze fell on the take-out bag. "I thought you were hungry," he reminded her.

"I am, but not for food," she replied kissing him deeply.

Lorelai extricated herself from his grasp, got up and went to the door, locking it. She came back to the couch and took his hand tugging him to his feet. She handed him the take-out bag, then picked up his baseball cap and put it on her head, backwards, of course.

Luke opened his mouth to say something but closed it again as she took his hand and led him up the stairs.

"I think we will focus better up here," she suggested.

"Works for me," Luke followed her.

The End
