a/n: thanks for all the reviews! It means a lot! Luvs!
The Un-Wanted Visitor:
"Hey," Luke called to Lori, "could you and Jess take over for me while me and Lorelai take the twins to the doctor?"
"Um, sure. What's wrong with the twins?" Lori asked concerned.
"It's just a check-up," Luke informed her.
"Mk."
Lori grabbed her coffee mug and went over to Jess, "We've just been volunteered for diner duty."
"I'm already on diner duty," Jess smiled at her.
"But now you get to work with me," Lori leaned up and kissed his cheek.
"Great," Jess said sarcastically.
Lori playfully slapped his chest, "Hey, Daddy, who has Landon?"
"We're dropping him off at Rory's."
"Alrighty," Lori answered as Lorelai walked in with a double stroller.
"I'm in desperate need of coffee," Lorelai plopped down on a stool at the counter.
"Lorelai, you know you can't have coffee," Luke sounded annoyed.
"Aw, but, Lukey," Lorelai pouted.
Luke gave her a stern glance before getting ready to leave.
Lori quickly poured her mother a cup of coffee, "Now, hurry before he comes back down here."
"Angel!" Lorelai exclaimed engulfing her elixir of life.
Lori rolled her eyes playfully before squatting down in front of her brother and sister, "Hey, Lance. Hey, Rissa."
"LoLo!" The twins giggled.
Lori kissed both of their foreheads.
"Where's my grandbaby?" Lorelai asked.
"With Rory."
"Poor, Ror. She'll never want kids," Lorelai laughed.
"Probably not," Lori snickered.
"Who gave you this?" Luke asked when he approached Lorelai.
"It was de-caf. Swear," Lorelai almost smiled.
"She just needed the taste," Lori said before laughing.
"You both know that coffee is bad for unborn children," Luke began one of his many rants.
"Whoa, whoa, Dad. Calm down," Lori walked to him, "it's just one cup. She had much more with the others."
"What?!"
"Oops!" Lori giggled.
Luke shook his head, but smiled, "I'll never win."
"Don't see that happenin' for ya, Lukey," Lorelai beamed and kissed her husband's cheek.
"Well, we need to go," Luke informed his wife, "if you two need any thing call me."
"Aye, aye! Cap'n!"
Lori and Jess began taking orders for what few people were in there.
"I'm bored," Lori said a few minutes after the diner had cleared up.
"It happens," Jess smirked sitting next to her.
"I like it when you do that," she grinned flirtatiously.
He continued to smirk as he leaned closer to her.
She smiled and moved towards him. Their faces were so close she could feel his breath on her lips. Their lips touched slightly…the bell above the door jingled.
"Ugh," Lori frowned.
"Lori!" Averie exclaimed.
"Ave!" Lori ran to her best friend and enveloped her in a hug.
"Hey, Lor," Kurtis wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"Ah, Kurty!"
Then a look of horror passed over Lori's face when she saw the next person walk in.
"Hey, Lori."
"Hey, R-R-Ray," Lori stuttered.
Before she knew what was happening Ray had his arms around her.
"I want to make things better," he whispered before kissing her cheek.
Lori pushed him away and glared at him; she felt Jess's eyes on her.
"Oh, Lor, these are my parents, Robert and Anne Grayson," Kurtis introduced, "Mom, Dad, this is Averie's best friend, Lori Gilmore."
"Hi," Lori said quietly.
"Hello," Both Robert and Anne greeted.
They all sat down.
"What can I get you to drink?" Lori asked.
Lori felt Ray's arm slip around her waist as he told his parents 'their story'.
She made eye contact with Jess. He looked hurt.
After getting all of their orders she walked over to him.
When she was in perfect eye sight of Ray, she hooked her index fingers thru Jess's belt loops and pulled him towards her.
He gave her a confused look, but couldn't say anything because her lips were crashing against his.
a/n: whatcha think? R&R!
