As Luke is making dinner, Lorelai and April talk about random things. Mostly things Lorelai doesn't know about…meaning science. She is learning more about this little girl who showed up in Luke's life, and she can't understand why someone would keep their kid from it's father. Luke adores this kid, like she knew he would if it were his own. She can't wait until they can have a baby of their own. 'Whoa, Lorelai, slow down. You guys just got back together. You still have a lot of things to work through. We'll talk about it soon. Hopefully really soon, I'm not as young as I used to be, and my biological clock is ticking.'

"…anyways, Photosynthesis is an extraordinary process in plant life. Don't you think so?" April asks Lorelai.

"Oh, yeah. Photosynthesis is really cool," Lorelai answers. Though, truth be told, she got lost in her thoughts, and never really did find science intriguing.

"Dinner is ready," Luke announces, and makes April a plate, and a glass of milk. He does the same for Lorelai, but gives her a mug of coffee, to which he gets a smile. Finally, he fixes his plate, and sits next to Lorelai. He places his hand on her thigh, and says, "So, what were you girls talking about?"

"April was telling me about photosynthesis," Lorelai informs him.

"Yeah, I got that lecture a week ago," he tells Lorelai.

April says, "Hey, I just think it's cool. If you guys didn't want to hear about it, you could have changed the subject."

"So, April, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Lorelai asks.

"Well, I was thinking that I'd like to be a scientist like my uncle, but I'm getting really into the medical aspect of science. Now I'm thinking about being a doctor."

"That's cool. Maybe you'll be the one to find a cure for cancer."

"That would take years to do. Plus, there are many different types of cancer, so I'd have to narrow the field."

'You just can't win with this girl,' Lorelai thinks, then begins concentrating on Luke's hand moving up and down her thigh. She hasn't been with him intimately since he got back from his field trip with April. That has been a long time. The only person she's been like that with was Chris…and it was horrible. She felt dirty after every time.

After dinner, Luke informs Lorelai that he is going to take April home and that he'll see her tomorrow.

"Luke, come back here. I want to talk, and I don't want to wait until tomorrow," Lorelei tells him.

"Okay," he says, and leans down and kisses her. "I'll be back in an hour."

"I'll be here."


The drive to Woodbridge is filled with silence, until April says, "I like her."

"Who?"

"Lorelai. I like her. She's funny and smart, and I think she likes me," April tells him.

Luke smiles, "She does. Hey, I'm sorry that it took me so long to let you and Lorelai meet each other. I just thought that you'd like her more than you'd like me, and I didn't want that."

"It's ok, I understand. But I'm not the one you should be apologizing to. Dad, if you love her as much as you told me you do, then why did you treat her like dirt? That's not what people who love each other do."

"I don't know why I did. It just became easier to keep you to myself, but then she walked into the diner and you guys started talking, and everything got out. Plus, your mom didn't want you to meet her until we were married, but the wedding was postponed because I wanted to get to know you. Everything was just a bigger mess. But, we're back together. We're not engaged, but eventually, we will be."

"Oh, that's rich. I'm the reason you and Lorelai aren't married now? That just makes me so happy. I'm the reason the real life Ross and Rachel aren't married. Come on Dad. This is ridiculous. I feel like this is all my fault now."

"No, April, it's not. It's mine for keeping you a secret. I was just being stupid. Nothing is your fault. I don't want you to think that. I'm sorry for making it seem like it was. The only thing that is your fault, is making me want more of you. Before you, I didn't want kids. Now, I can't wait to have kids with-"

"Lorelai?" April asks, a smile playing on her lips.

"Yeah," Luke says, and smiles as well.


When Luke returns to Lorelai's house, the porch light is on, and the downstairs is completely dark, the bed room however, is lit. he walks up to the door and brings his hand up to knock, but finds a note on the window.

'Luke,

How many times have I told you not to knock. Just come in.

Love,

LG'

He smiles to himself, and opens the door. He walks up the stairs two at a time and opens the bed room door and sees her laying on the bed.

He sits next to her, "Hey."

She smiles at him. "Hey. Dinner was amazing. April is a good kid."

"She likes you."

She smiles and takes his hand. Sitting up, she says, "Luke, I've been thinking about us all day. I want to go back to the way things were. Before April before June 3rd. I want to be with you, forever. I want to get married and have another kid. I know that what I did hurt you, just like what you did hurt me. But I want to forget about all that. I just want to be with you. Okay?"

"What are you saying?" he asks.

She reaches behind her neck, takes the necklace off, and puts the ring back on her left finger, "Lets get married, Luke."
