Chapter 7:
For Every ACTION, There Is A REACTION
Previously on Gilmore Girls (for those who came in late… or are suffering amnesia):
Luke rolled Lorelai on her back and focused the kisses on her neck. Suddenly, both froze when they heard the whine of Lorelai's bedroom door opening. Oh, GOD !
Luke whispered into Lorelai's ear,"please tell me it's not Rory" but then again who else could it be. Oh man, it's awful for her to find out like this!
Lorelai's eyes were wide as she glanced at the door. "It's not Rory," she confirmed, though she was equally mortified.
A/N: mortification level: Luke Lorelai; equally mortified (some of you forgot their is a shy diner man on top of Lorelai … just saying!)
777777777777777777777 NOW on Gilmore Girls 7777777777777777777777777
Luke lifted his head to face the door, and there was a dumbfounded Christopher Hayden staring at the couple in the door way. A full minute seemed to have passed with no one talking.
"Hey … Chris? " Lorelai offered lamely trying to sound casual, with a naked Luke on top of her, at least they were under the covers.
An empty "Hey," was all Chris could get out.
"Ummmmm … could you give us a minute…" Lorelai asked.
"Sure," just as distant, and Chris closed the door again, and went down stairs to wait. As Chris' footfalls died away down the steps, Luke rolled off of Lorelai, both now staring at the ceiling in disbelief.
From bliss to PISSED in 3.2 seconds.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Lorelai finally got out.
"You're asking me?"
She propped up on her elbows. "I'm so sorry, but,… I have to go down there…"
"Lorelai, …"
"Luke, I have to."
"I know, I know, it's just …" there he was, the usual shy diner man she knew, "just ... wear two layers."
"What?" she was confused by the request.
"I don't want him … to see … what he's missing."
She grinned at his simple jealousy, "okay," and she began to pull the covers off.
"Wait, wait, … " Luke stopped her from leaving the bed again.
"Luke."
"No, Lorelai, I need to say something … cause, you are gonna go down there and he's gonna talk and turn on the charm and you are gonna … forgive him … again."
"Luke?" I thought we just decided there was an US.
"I've seen it, Lorelai. The effect he has on you. You can't help it, I mean, when he came to town last year, or whenever you talk about him…" You get… wistful…
Lorelai remembered last year's visit from Christopher, and how she had hurt Luke then. She stood him up for painting the diner, because the Gilmore dinner theater had too much drama for her to stomach. As a result, Lorelai stupidly slept with Chris, as a meaningless comfort to escape the hurtful things that were said by all the judgmental parents.Oh God! Is that what I just did with Luke? 2, almost 3 times? …
Luke sighed, " … I don't know if cause he's your friend, or first love, … or Rory's dad, but you just keep forgiving and forgetting and… he just … keeps hurting you and Rory."
Lorelai was quiet just listening to his words, cause she knew they were true. This was about Rory, too. Hell tonight was all for Rory. And she is mad at Chris still.
"Just remember that, … when you talk to him … and … remember this …" and Luke kissed her deeply again.
Lorelai's eyes turn dreamy as Luke pulled away. She knew this was right, she knew this was more than comfort sex. Her heart swelled with affection for the protective champion who was always there. "I will," she promised.
Luke only half smiled,"Okay then…"
She jabbed him in the chest, "Two layers?" Lorelai reconfirmed.
"Thank you," and Luke kissed her hand, and let her get dressed.
77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
Lorelai had an irrepressible smile as she closed the bedroom door. She had insisted that her "Second Layer" be Luke's Flannel Shirt. She made sure the green and blue pattern was well hidden under her robe, that way as she faced Chris, Luke was still with her. If Luke wanted her to remember all the crap Chris had put her through before, Lorelai couldn't think of a better reminder than the symbol of the man who had always been there. The flannel was soft and warm against her skin, and she hoped this wouldn't take too long, I have a man in my bed, after all.
Lorelai came to the landing of the staircase, only to find Chris pacing and shifting uncomfortably in the living room.
Deep breath, Here we go. "ummm, Chris?"
Chris turned around startled, "Hey Lor, … Wow, this is … awkward…" to actually … see… her with….. someone else… ugh…
"To say the least,…" can we move this a touch more quickly!
"I mean, I should have known, I mean to just walk in … like that …" Chris stuttered as he tried to apologize.
"ummm yeah, .. sooo how did you get in here?"
"Oh the door was unlocked, but even if it was, you know… I know where the …turtle … thing … is" He was trying desperately to purge the images of Lorelai with her guy, … in bed, … together, … naked.
"Okay, … so umm well then, … WHAT are you doing here?" and how can I make you go away again.
"What? After a message that was as long as War and Peace, how could I stay away? So, I'm here."
"Okay?" his logic lost on her…, that still doesn't explain…
"You called me?" he reminded her.
"I know, We called you over a week ago."
Chris tried to defend himself, "Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'm here now, … to present Rory." Wait Lor and … 'him' ... alone? … on a school night? Where is Rory?
"What? … Oh no, Chris." Unbelievable " No, you missed it."
"No, I didn't, it's on Saturday night; it's always on a Saturday."
"Honey, today is Saturday." You ruined round three because you have no concept of time!
"What?"
Lorelai realized, "Actually, it's almost Sunday."
"Aww man, must be the Jet Lag." Chris ran his hands through his hair.
"Where have you been?" Fighting Rogue aliens with Commander John Crichton?
"I was on a business trip."
"A business trip?" she had to laugh, not the Christopher I know.
"Yeah, I just got a new work cell. I took my work phone and left my personal cell at home." He explained, "I just got your message and I drove down here?"
"On your bike?" Lorelai was confused, but touched that he had acted so speedily.
"No, with my car."
"You have a car?" who are you and what have you done with Christopher?
"Yeah. It's a Volvo."
A Volvo? Lorelai was a little weirded out. That is why he sounded so different, on the phone message. He's changed. "So, ummm, … where is home now?" naturally curious.
"Boston."
"So close?" Lorelai was taken off guard, and crossed her arms. She was so used to Chris being on the other side of the country. "baked beans, … Red Sox." Now a little uncomfortable about the close proximity of his new home.
"Yeah, that's the place,"
"… one hell of a tea party.." still absorbing, Boston is what, … one and a half – two hours away …
" … I needed a little more … stability in my life."
Oh my God, he did it, he got himself together. She took a peek at her bare feet as she started descending the final steps. WOW, I have to get to know him all over again, … now that he's an adult… and then, … she felt it. Luke's flannel against her leg, and Lorelai froze at the base of the steps, her hand shot to the neckline of the robe. Her flannel reminder underneath, OH MY GOD. Luke is upstairs, … he was right, Chris talks and I buy into it! Every time.
"How was it?" Chris asked, mimicking her coming closer to him.
Lorelai was put off by him coming closer, and distracted by her thoughts of Luke. "How was what?" Are you seriously asking me how sex with Luke was?
"The ball, her presentation, how did it go?"
If you had been there you would have known."Without a hitch" Crossing her arms again, Lorelai said evenly, and with no help from you, she reminded herself.
"Did your Dad … present her?"
"No," Lorelai bit her lip.
"Then who…" and Chris glanced up the stairs; he seemed to figure it out from the situation they were in and the expression on Lorelai's face."Ahhh, … I see, … he's stepping into those step-father roles nicely," With just a hint of bitterness.
"Who?" Luke?
"Your husband."
"What?" not you too, … everyone is marrying us off…
"I'm sorry I didn't send you guys a … gift, but I didn't know when the 'it' was, and I wasn't … invited, I mean I figured it was a few days after your bachelorette party…."
"What are you talking about?"
"Congrats by the way." However, Chris was still a little concerned by her bachellorette party cold feet call and still a little bitter she had married someone else.
"On what?" Lorelai let out exasperated that he seemed to be having an entire conversation with himself.
"You and Max."
"Max?" Where the hell did that come from? "Chris, seriously, … What?"
"Well you and Max are married, you're a married woman now, and I just walk right on … in … " Chris indicated upstairs with his hand. To you having sex with your … husband!
Looking up the stairs, Lorelai was finally understanding, "Oh, no Chris, that's not Max."
"It isn't?" OKAY? not worried yet… "Does Max…. know?"
"The wedding was called off."
Chris, as usual was a little out of the loop. "so, … You didn't you get married?"
"uuuhhh No, …"
"Then who the hell is he?" Is she having a mid life crisis or something?
"Luke."
"and Who is Luke?" his tone was starting to have a edge to it, but he of all people felt he had a right to be concerned.
"That is." Gesturing up the stairs.
"I repeat, who is Luke …?" it was taking everything in Chris to stay calm.
Who is Luke? umm well there is an 'US' soooo, "my boyfriend." It sounded strange coming out of her mouth…. Luke, boyfriend? Huh?
Chris wasn't convinced by her tone. "Oh, Lorelai, … wow, I never thought … wow." She is having a midlife crisis, caught in a one night stand, … wait a minute… "Did he present Rory?"
"Yes." no need to deny it.
"You just got some random guy to present Rory and you slept with him! As what? a thank you!" Now the volume started to rise on this "conversation."
Thank you? God, it's like he was eavesdropping! "He's not a random guy, he's Luke…"
"Again, like that means something!"
"If you had been around, or bothered to call, you would know all about Luke, my boyfriend," this time said with a little more confidence.
"Well, it's hard to keep up with your love life! I mean one minute your getting married to a teacher, Rory's teacher, … the next your banging this guy."
"CHRIS!" appalled at what he was implying. "This is really not a good time to get into this…" Oh man Rory will be home soon.
"What the Hell are you thinking? And where is Rory!"
"Chris, stop yelling at me. This is still my house!"
"Where is Rory?"
Now you play dad… She rolled her eyes, "Out with Dean?"
"You left her alone with that boyfriend of hers? Jesus, Lorelai don't you remember how you missed your coming out!"
Yeah, you knocked me up three months before! "I cannot believe you just said that to me. Chris, she is my daughter, I'm the one who raised her. I raised her to not make my same mistakes, okay… I know her, I trust her, and I trust Dean!"
"I'll trust him about as far as I can throw him!" Hell, I only met him once!
"Good luck with that, have you seen how tall he is!"
"… and you, here, … with that … Guy! I don't like it, It's bad enough that I didn't get to meet the 'mysterious fiancee', but now this?"
"Since when do I need your permission or my dates need your stamp of approval?"
"I'm not jealous.." he was quick to defend.
I didn't say you were but... "Umm yeah you are.."
"Hey, I have a girlfriend"
"And I have a boyfriend,"okay Luke is my boyfriend, that is getting easier to hear… and it's nice to hear, and to think about…
There was an uncomfortable silence where both realized they had each moved on from their juvenile relationship. Well, Lorelai anyway …
Chris started the attack again."Well,… What kind of example are you setting for Rory? You shouldn't be bringing guys home."
Now matching his tone, Lorelai fired, "Ummm Okay? so I have to be celibate because I'm a mom? Has being a dad …" complete with air quotes, "… hindered your sex life? And Luke is not just a guy! Besides, you have no say in the rules we establish in this house. Rory told me a long time ago that she is okay with me dating. She wants me to be comfortable bringing 'my guy' home. And Luke knows her, she knows Luke, she likes Luke. He has always been there for us."
Not hearing a word of her speech. "Is that why Rory's not here! so you could get laid!"
Lorelai's eyes narrowed and her tone turned to ice. "Christopher Hayden, get out of my house!" Lorelai needed space away from him, so she was heading to the door, when he stopped her by the couch.
"Hey we aren't done, … Lorelai, don't you remember all the crap we used to pull, how do we know what Rory's up to?"
Pulling her arm back from him, turning on her heel, in his face, "Chris, we were rebelling against our repressive parents that had our lives planned out already, but guess what, … Rory is different."
"I can't believe this! how irresponsible…" he turned away from her as if he was going to pace behind the couch.
"You do not want to finish that sentence with me…" she cut him off, "…and I'm the one that should be mad you! You interrupted our alone time." Gesturing to the stairs, not even realizing how loud she was yelling.
"Lorelai, this affects my daughter!"
"Oh now she's your daughter!" she threw up her hands again.
Chris ignored it, "if this guy is in her life…"
"Exactly he is a part of her life, unlike you!"
"Hey!"
"Chris when was the last time you called? I have no idea. You didn't even bother to tell us you moved. I had to find out from the nice automated lady on the phone! And even when we tried to call and left several messages, you flaked!"
"I was on a business trip, I have responsibilities now."
"Chris! You've had responsibilities for 17 years, Rory doesn't know her father, she think you don't care!"
"That is not true, our relationship is great."
"Well, based on your track record and the words out of her mouth, I'm gonna say NO!"
"You're full of it", he waved off.
Real mature response. "Oh yeah, ask her! You are just her buddy. Not even a buddy, … a really sucky pen pal!"
He couldn't defend his lack of involvement, so he stayed quiet.
Seeing she had wounded him, and rightly so, she gave a final jab."Oh Sorry, I just had my nails done, my talons are sharp today, see." And showed him her done up nails.
Just then a throat cleared from the stairs. The arguing pair turned to see an uncomfortable Luke,"Sorry to … interrupt". Luke had finally changed into his jeans and t-shirt.
"Luke?" Lorelai met him at the bottom step, needing to be close to him again. Don't leave me alone with him, I may kill him! "you need something?" Right now I need you to hold me.
She called me 'her guy'. He heard the screaming match upstairs, and he couldn't take it any longer. Sure, Lorelai was doing fine on her own, but still, his instinct told him to be there for her."Yeah, ummm I just wanted to call Jess," Luke whispered, "you know, to check in… ."
"Wife?" Chris interjected bitterly and accusingly. Well with the way things are going….
"Nephew." Luke and Lorelai corrected at the same time.
Luke went to the phone in the hall, an eye on Christopher who was now pacing behind the couch. Luke was pleased that he was a little taller than the dead beat. He couldn't help but notice the evil eye Chris was giving him, which Luke was all too happy to return. Lorelai was holding Luke's hand and by his side, happy herself to have another presence to focus on.
Luke dialed on the phone in the hallway, and waited for Jess to answer."Hey Jess, … JESS! " Luke shouted."it's Luke, … LUKE! your Uncle; Geez turn that damn music down!"
Lorelai gave Luke's hand a squeeze, "What he calls music."
Luke smiled at her, then back into the phone he tried to have a conversation with his nephew. "Thank you, how was it tonight? … Okay, did you clean the grill? Okay, how about mop the floor? … well you forgot last time, now I know you're still getting used to the routine, but … believe me if anything isn't done, … well I'm very creative, I'm sure I'll think of something …" Luke hung up the phone and let out a grunt sigh. Lorelai could tell whatever smart assed thing Jess said bothered Luke.
"Another happy day in Boys Town."
"Spencer Tracy I am not!" he said shaking his head. How do I get myself into these situations?
"Well Pee Wee Jess is not, … Pity though ,… I'd make a great, Katharine Hepburn ..."
"She wasn't in that movie,…"
"I know, I'm surprised you knew…"
"My dad liked Spencer Tracy."
Luke only talked about his dad a few times. Even so long after his death, Luke still felt the absence acutely. Lorelai was pleased they could bond a little more though a movie reference. The couple seemed to finally remember that Chris was there, … invading their privacy.
Chris listened to the conversation and maybe now saw why Lorelai was attracted to this guy. Not only could he keep up with Lorelai, but He seemed like he was together. seemed to be a parent too; A man who knew how to handle a teenager of his own.
"So how long as this been going on?" Chris asked,
"None of your business" Lorelai snapped. Luke squeezed her hand to let her know it would be okay. Understanding why she'd be embarrassed caught in a first time with her new… boyfriend? Is that what I am? It's what she called me…, Am I too old to be a boyfriend? …
Chris was all to happy to tear down the pair, for the sake of fatherly concern … of course."Well I'm just curious, is this guy the reason the wedding was called off? How long till you change your mind again?"
"Hey!" Luke was offended that Chris would insult Lorelai.
"Luke, don't,… "
Chris continued, "Who the hell do you think you are playing daddy to my kid!"
"Unlike some people, I've watched Rory grow up! I've built her book shelves, and feed her for years, cause of course Lorelai can't boil water…"
"That doesn't mean you can just waltz in …"
Luke was a little more confident in his role in the Gilmore's lives because of Lorelai's earlier assurance. Luke continued, "Funny you should mention that, there was father/daughter dance tonight, did you know that? Don't recall seeing you there! What were we supposed to do? You were missing, Rory needed someone, I offered… she accepted … she chose me… "
"but you aren't even family,…" Chris shouted.
"Yes, he is!" Rory chimed in.
The three adults didn't even hear her come in. Lorelai dropped Luke's hand, as Rory let her "dad' have it.
Rory stepped towards Chris, each step punctuated with a clicking heel. "Guess who remembers my birthdays? Luke! Guess who gives me free pie when I've had a rough day at school? Luke. Guess who suggested and built the shelves in my room? Luke. Guess who was here when I needed someone to walk me down a crumby 100 year old staircase….? Luke."
"You picked him?" Chris finally registered some of Luke's words.
"Well, considering Luke is very reliable, dependable, makes the best burgers and coffee in the world. Knows his way around a tool box. Handy with the lawn mower. Put on a tux for me, which I know he hated. Danced with me in public, again I know he hated. Oh yeah, and has been the best male role model in my life and we always know where he is... Yeah, he was the best choice. and oh yeah, he knew what was going on in my life and offered!"
It was strange for Luke to be apart of this family bout, but Rory had called him family, just laid out a bunch of things he's done for the Gilmore girls. Lorelai has also given him fatherly praise before. That meant a lot to him, though the last few hours undoubtedly changed his role in the Gilmore's lives. He only hoped Rory wouldn't be this upset when she found out about her mom and him.
It was also strange to see Rory with a temper. She still looked like an angel; her hair still done up, feathers from her fan flying around from her quick gestures. Her white dress just as pure and blinding, contrasted by the red growing in her cheeks.
Strange to see Rory after he … just slept with her mom. Oh boy! Please let her be okay with… "US".
Luke and Lorelai watched quietly as the usually sweet girl was pure vinegar toward the man she hardly knew. "What have you ever done? Oh wait, run away.. there's one, ignore me there's another. Forget my birthday, you never call! Tonight was big, Dad! I've never asked you for anything. This one night was it, … and you couldn't come through… you never come through … "
"Kiddo, I'm sorry I had…."
Rory cut him off in a mocking tone. "I'm not a kid, I'm a proper lady of society now."
"My mistake." Chris noticed the cold shoulder.
"Dad you couldn't even buy a book for me last time you were here! "
"I'm better now, I have a job, and a car, … I have the Oxford Dictionary for you in the trunk…."
Trying to bribe me… wow that is low …"I don't want it! I don't want anything from you. What are you even doing here?"
Lorelai took that question, "he's here, to present you into society."
"Really," Rory scoffed, at his better late then never attitude." … bit late for that!"
"Yeah, there was a mix up with my schedule…"
"Another excuse," shaking her head, "it's never your fault! Maybe if you had kept in touch … " and Rory went in between Luke and Lorelai, who made way for the upset teen, to head to her room.
"Rory please, … " Chris tried to follow, and Luke and Lorelai were now caught in the cross fire.
Rory turned back to the absent father, and lowered her tone. Her blue eyes told Chris she was gravely serious… trying to keep her temper in check. "Maybe someday when I'm not so … angry…. we can start over… not NOW! please leave." I'm too nice for my own good!
"Rory, please just give me a chance to make it up…"
Chris was still her father, but the wounds were way to deep and fresh. "Well, not tonight … the lady needs to sleep on it!"
Chris sighed, he really stepped in it this time. He got the message and made his way to the door. Chris turned back to his daughter, "so you really okay with .. this…" referring to Luke and Lorelai having a sex life, with a vague gesture, that was one of his main concerns tonight anyway.
"Yes I am," Referring to her need to cool off and that she didn't mind having him out of her life.
"Well good night, maybe … I'll try again … in a week…"
"How about a month?" Rory snapped.
"Okay… a month, … night… everyone…" and with that Chris left out the front door.
Rory was still fuming, "I'll be in my room." Followed by a slamming door. Rory didn't even notice her mother was only in a robe, or that Luke didn't have his trademark flannel or boots on.
Luke and Lorelai were left alone again.
"Wow," was all Luke could say…
"Yeah, she can be quite the firecracker when she needs to be …"
It was the first time they were alone since being upstairs … naked.
She stepped toward her… boyfriend."Thanks for being wanting to be my hero. Don't think I didn't noticed that perfectly time cavalry entrance, … like you couldn't have called Jess from upstairs…. "
"Hey, my boots were down here anyway", remembering them in the foyer. They walked to the front door hand in hand. Luke slipped them on and tied them quickly.
As he straightened up, Luke then focused back on Lorelai "you two gonna be okay, .. with the uuhhh everything?"
"Yeah, we'll be fine, " she slid her arms around his waist, and snuck a kiss.
"Are you sure? I can stay, it's just… Jess is now expecting me.."
"If he's even still there …" she teased.
"Please, …" don't make me think the worst! Of him sneaking out and doing God knows what….
"I'll see you in the morning…?" Lorelai admired his chest again through his t-shirt. That's right I'm wearing his flannel.
Grabbed his jacket from the hook on the mirror, Lorelai's arms still around him. "Yeah, I can stop by, you know… to trim those hedges." Also wanting to check on how this little play panned out.
"Dirty," she smiled.
"Walked right into it." He dryly commented after he rolled his eyes. Taking advantage of being alone, Luke kissed her, "You gonna tell Rory?" he whispered.
"When the time is right… "
"Lorelai," he growled
"Hey after that performance do you really want me to tell her now…?"
Luke rubbed her back and sighed, "You think she's… gonna be okay? With us?"
"I think so, …" Lorelai nodded.
"I want my flannel back…"
"Well why don't I wear to the diner tomorrow then everyone will know…"
"Get it back to me… soon and discretely." knowing full well it was now hers till the end of time.
"OK, good night…"
"Good night" Then Luke kissed Lorelai one more time. Her arms snaked around his neck knowing this was the last she'd see him, well for today... so she wanted to make it worth his while. It could have easily turned back into round three. Lorelai wished he could stay the whole night, knowing that would be weird without fully explaining to Rory. And as much of a punk that Jess was, he might give a damn about his uncle's where abouts.
Luke felt like they were doing something wrong, sneaking kisses behind her daughter's back? For as long as he knew them, for all the nice things Rory had said about him; Luke knew Rory had a right to know what happened, really happened;Everything that happened. He would trust Lorelai's discretion on how much Lorelai told Rory. Although he maybe teased for months on end by both Gilmores. When he pulled away,"Tell her soon." Though I may never be comfortable kissing you in front of her…
"I will,"she smiled. The sooner I tell her, the sooner you can spend the night.
Then Luke left. Lorelai leaned against the door as she did the previous night, when he left. Wow, what difference a day makes. Thinking of the roller coaster she had been on the last 24 hours. She had been trying to avoid the twists and turns her "Luke thoughts" sent her on. Feeling sick over the loop dee loops that her parents fight and words had put her through. The thrill of being with Luke, that first, … and second time, his skin against hers. And finally the unexpected corkscrew Chris' presence brought about.Today was only one day? It feels like 3…
Now, she was no longer distracted by the sexy man she was now … involved with, I like thinking of that; now she could comfort her daughter. Duty calls.

A/N (dedicated to…. JEEPGIRL! I read a lot!):
Newton's Third Law of Motion:
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
-The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.
I'm informative THAT WAY!
A/N: for every action (Luke stepping up, Luke and Lorelai in bed together, Chris being an ass and his unexpected presence)
There is a reaction (Chris' judgments over L/L, Rory telling off Chris)
