Well, I've taken some of your guys' advise to make this story better. I hope you enjoy this new chapter.
Lorelai narrowed her eyes & said…
"Okay… if you say so…" William was so relieved. "Um… okay… I'm going to go get a snack. " "Okay, bye dad." Luke and Liz said at the same time. "Yeah, bye." Lorelai said, with a halfhearted smile. William just nodded at them and quickly left, leaving the door a bit open in his hurry. "Okay, that was odd." Luke said, a bit confused by his father's hasty exit. "Yeah, what was that all about Lorelai?" Liz questioned, a tad confused herself. "Well, I'll tell you guys, but you have to promise not to mention it to your dad, or anyone, for that matter." Lorelai said anxiously. "Yeah, sure." Luke said concerned, as always, about Lorelai. "No sweat." Said Liz, shrugging it off. "Okay, well here goes…" Lorelai explained all about her father's friends, the lawyers, the Will, etc. (You know, just like the information she was thinking about in chapter 7.)
"So, you think our dad is gonna die soon?" Liz asked Lorelai, a bit frightened. "No, I don't think so, but I think he does." Said Lorelai, answering Liz's question quickly. "I don't believe this, how can he think of leaving us at a time like this?! When our mother is sick, that's the time he chooses to give up on life, and, and, and leave us! Who would do that?!" Luke yelled desperately, or as loud as he could without his father hearing. 'Luke, it's okay, come here." Lorelai said soothingly as she hugged him. "I never said he's going to leave you guys. He probably just wants to be prepared, is all. Everything will be okay Luke, you'll see." Lorelai managed to get Luke to calm down.
However, when Lorelai looked over at Liz, she saw that she was staring at the ground, and that tears had found their way to her eyes. "Liz, are you okay?" Lorelai asked softly. Liz looked up at Lorelai, seeing her brother, her strong, stubborn brother, who wouldn't show any emotion for the life of him, seeing him so shaken up, had made her grow fearful, had made her start to question, just like her brother, her father, whether or not he was gonna live. However, Liz just wiped away the sparkling tears that had been threatening to flood over, and gave Lorelai a fake smile, and an answer, " I'm fine Lorelai, why do you ask?" Liz said. Lorelai opened her mouth, about to answer, when she saw Liz glance at Luke, who was looking at the ground. Lorelai decided not to bring it up right now, for Luke's sake, and besides, Liz looked like she wanted a little time to think about it before she could talk about it. So Lorelai dropped it. "No reason." She said, shrugging it off. She could tell Liz was grateful.
"Come on, let's go down by the lake for a little while." Lorelai suggested, putting her arms around both of their shoulders. Liz nodded, and Luke gave Lorelai a smile, and they were off…
-In Town-
As they walked around town, Lorelai began thinking what it would be like to live here, not just visit every other weekend, but to really live here, how amazing that would be. She looked over at Luke, she remembered when, almost 4 years ago, she was so worried about him not want to be her friend, but now, nothing could tear them apart. Lorelai couldn't help but smile at that. "What?" Luke had to ask, he couldn't help it, when Lorelai Gilmore has a smile on her face you can't just ignore it, it's totally impossible to. "What?" Lorelai replied, not understanding the question. "Why are you smiling?" Luke rephrased. "What? I can't smile?" Lorelai questioned, pretending to be appalled. "No, well, I mean yes, yes you can smile. It's just that when Lorelai Gilmore smiles, there's a reason." Luke answered. "And I want to know what that reason is." Lorelai blushed, slightly embarrassed by her childish thoughts, well, embarrassed enough not to tell Luke about it.
"No reason okay, lets just leave it at that." Lorelai said, trying to avoiding Luke's gaze, but still giving him a dazzling smile, just to make sure that he doesn't ask her again. It worked, when Luke saw her smile, he sighed, knowing he was defeated. "Alright. We'll leave it at that." He said, much to Lorelai's relief. "Or at least, for now." He thought…
