Part 17a 'Pancakes and Diamond Rings'
"So Lukey, dinner tonight" Lorelai begged she was sitting at the counter in Luke's talking into the kitchen
"I'm kind of busy right now" Luke shouted back from the kitchen, he had his head in the oven, trying to fix it.
"All I need is an answer" Lorelai shouted back, helping herself to coffee from behind the counter
"Well cant you just come back when I haven't got my head stuck in an oven" Luke shouted back, reaching out of the oven for a spanner resting on the side.
"You want me to read the manual again" Lorelai asked, giggling, remembering the time she spent the whole night reading through Luke's oven manual because she was bored
"No it was embarrassing enough the last time you did that" Luke replied cursing beneath his breath at the banging and clattering coming from in the kitchen.
"What just because I trumped you at guy fixing things stuff" Lorelai laughed, lifting a doughnut out of the box Luke kept them in.
Luke lifted his head out of the oven and looked at Lorelai; He walked out into the diner, showing his red angry face.
"Yeah coz that's what they call it" Luke said sarcastically
"Hmmm" Lorelai looked at Luke and laughed
"Sooooo, dinner, sure why not, It's not as if I have anything else to do" Luke said throwing the spanner he had been holding at the oven
"Great, I'll meet you there at 7" Lorelai said, picking up her doughnut and taking a bite
"Is Rory still around, I haven't seen her for a few days" Luke asked, he had spent the first few days of her trip with them Both, But she had been AWOL for the past few days.
"Yeah she's just lying low right now" Lorelai explained
"Oh, after the Babette/ Miss Patty incident" Luke said remembering the scene they had caused when Rory stopped by Doose's for chocolate a few days ago.
"Yeah that and Kirk has been after her trying to get and interview all week" Lorelai said as if it were an obvious thing
"An interview" Luke asked puzzled
"Apparently this week he's a reporter" Lorelai answered
"Oh great" Luke said sarcastically, looking outside to see Kirk chasing Taylor around, A camera around his neck and a notebook and pencil in his hand.
"Yeah I know isn't it just" Lorelai added following Luke's gaze outside
"That's our town for you" Luke said, Pouring Lorelai more coffee
"Yeah it is" Lorelai nodded, Sipping the last of her coffee up before standing up "So I gotta get over to the inn, if Rory stops by feed her well" Lorelai picked up her doughnut and wrapped it in a napkin.
"As if I wouldn't" Luke smiled
"Kiss" Lorelai lent over the counter and kissed Luke's lips softly
"Bye" Luke said
"Love you" Lorelai shouted as she walked towards the door
"Love you too" Luke shouted after her, watching as she walked away, Kirk spotting her and then her starting to run
"So when are you coming home, we miss you" Logan asked
"Yeah" Levi added, they were on speaker phone from Logan's Beverly Hills home
"I'm coming home soon, I just needed some time to cool off, maybe another week" Rory explained, she had spent the past week just resting at her Mom's with Eden and her Mom and Luke. She had met April and caught up with other members of the town she had missed for so long. But she had yet to catch Dean or Lane, and she couldn't go without talking to them. "Why don't you come here, we can stay at the dragonfly, it'll be fun" Rory offered, She wanted to share this with Logan and her boys, the people in her life she loved the most
"Well I don't know" Logan said, He did want to go, But he wasn't sure if Rory was just offering to be polite
"Why not, we could hang out in stars hollow and introduce the boys to everyone" Rory tried she wanted to persuade Logan to come and spend some time with her in Stars Hollow, It was where she remembered the time she had dragged him here for the first time, They had spent the morning in Weston's, It had been great.
Well I don't have to work this week and I was just going to spend it with the boys
"So why not spend it with the boys here in Stars Hollow" Rory begged
"Yeah dad" Dylan chimed in
"Please" Levi added, looking up at Logan and smiling his big grin, He got that from Rory, It was like the smile Rory always gave him
"Why do you guys wanna go so much?" Logan asked them
"Lorelai told us it snows in stars hollow" Levi explained his reason or wanting to travel to Stars Hollow
"Yeah!" Dylan shouted chirpily
"Oh well if it snows then well have to go" Logan said, He couldn't say no to them, they were smiling that smile, the one they inherited from Rory
"Yeah!" Dylan shouted again happily
"Whooo" Levi shouted hugging Logan
"Thanks Logan" Rory said quietly on the other end of the phone
"Your welcome ace" Logan said smiling as Dylan and Levi ran off
"So catch the next flight out of there, you remember where stars hollow is right" Rory asked, Trying to hide how overjoyed she was that Logan was brining Dylan and Levi to her precious corner of the world, Stars Hollow.
"Course Ace, How could I forget" Logan laughed
"Good, so I'll see you soon" Rory said shyly
"See you soon Ace" Logan said smiling, He was really excited to be going to Stars Hollow, It had been a long time since he had set foot in Stars Hollow Or anywhere near it for that matter.
Rory had finally decided to venture out of her Mom's place, Kirk hadn't called at all in like 4 hours and it had been 3 days since the Babette/ Miss Patty incident, So Rory figured she was safe and quickly walked along the deserted streets of Stars Hollow towards Luke's. It was 2 in the afternoon so most of Stars Hollow's resident's were working or elsewhere; she wandered quietly, Eden in her arms. Rory felt happy being able to do this, Just walk down the street in the moderate weather with just a thin jumper on. She didn't need sun block in Stars Hollow and she didn't need to wear shorts or a mini skirt everywhere she went because it wasn't boiling hot in Stars Hollow like it was walking the crowded streets of LA or the privileged streets of Beverly Hills.
Rory felt free in Stars Hollow, could walk anywhere without being chased by people she didn't know. She did get chased in Stars Hollow but only by Kirk or Babette and Miss Patty and she at least knew them. It was even sort of normal to be chased in Stars Hollow; she didn't feel indifferent in Stars Hollow, and In Stars Hollow she felt like an individual, like she was home, where she belonged.
Rory cut across the grass in the town square and straight up the steps and into Luke's.
"Hey Rory, What can I get you" Luke asked popping up from behind the counter
"Er, Cheeseburger, No wait I should have breakfast before lunch" Rory said thinking aloud
"Wait, you haven't had breakfast yet, it's 2 in the afternoon" Luke said shocked
"Yeah well there were only tater tots at my Mom's"
"Why didn't you just come here?"
"I was being stalked by Kirk"
"Ahh right" Luke said, Just taking it in as regular information, Which was weird because in any other town being stalked would seem weird, But when it was Kirk and Stars Hollow , It was just like a daily occurrence.
"So can I have pancakes and then a Cheeseburger" Rory asked
"Sure, Coming right up" Luke turned and left for the kitchen, Reappearing a few seconds later. "It'll be a few minutes"
"Ok" Rory replied, sitting down at the counter and placing Eden gently in front of her.
"So Rory, I need, I need your advice"
"Sure thing, what do you need"
"Well, I don't really know, Well I wouldn't normally ask you for anything like this, I wouldn't normally ask anyone for anything like this at all but this is special"
"Luke, What is it?"
"Well, I bought your mom a ring" Luke explained shyly
"A ring, like an engagement ring?" Rory asked excitedly
"Well yeah, But no, I'm not sure really" Luke replied, Rory could tell he was nervous
"Ok, Let me see" Rory said
"I'm not really sure if she'll like it or if it's right" Luke tried, pulling a small jewellery box out of his pocket and handing it to Rory.
"Luke it's amazing, she'll love it!" Rory screamed admiring the dazzling diamond ring
"Are you sure, because I could take it back, it has to be perfect" Luke said
"Luke it, It, its perfect" Rory said melting inside.
"Good" Luke nodded, taking the ring back off Rory and replacing it in his Pocket "So, let's get you those pancakes then" Luke wandered off into the kitchen in search of Rory's pancakes.
"Lets" Rory said over the moon that she had been trusted with this.
