Hey. I'm glad people seem to be enjoying the story!!

(Tomorrow is when Chistopher and Lorelai's marriage ends! YAY!!!)

Previously...

Luke shook his head, yet reluctantly agreed. "If he harms you or Rory, I am calling the police, no questions asked. And I think that we should take some pictures of some of those bruises and scrapes so that in case you change your mind, we have some proof of what happened."

"Okay. That's fine." She went to get her camera and Luke took the pictures.

I can't believe that I actually agreed to not get him in trouble. If I had any say in this, I would have him killed. Luke thought. But I will listen to Lorelai.

Luke stayed the night because Lorelai didn't want to be alone. He held her close; closer than he ever had before. He never wanted to let her go again. He wa going to kill the next person who tried to hurt the woman that he loves.
That next morning at breakfast Rory was thinking about her mom. "Hey Paris, can I ask you a question?"

"As long as it doesn't have to do with sex. I'm not giving you my secrets."

"Okay, well my mom called my cell last week and left a message saying that she was sick and it would be best if I just didn't call her. She said that she would call me when she was feeling better."

"I'm not hearing a question anywhere in there. How the hell did you get into Yale?"

"It seems weird. I mean my mom and I talk to each other all the time; especially when one of us are sick. Why doesn't she want to talk to me? Did I do anything wrong."

Paris put down her spoon. "Rory," she said.

"Paris," Rory mocked.

"You're Rory Gilmore, you don't do anything wrong; ever. It's annoying actually. You're little miss perfect sunshine all the time. Maybe your mom is just trying not to rack up your cellphone bill because she is tired of paying for all the minutes that you use being all cutesy on the phone with Logan. I know I'd get sick of paying for that."

"First of all, I pay for my own cellphone bill. And she sounded different; kind of upset actually. Do you think it would be okay for me to call her?"

"Please do. I'm tired of talking about this." She went back to eating her cereal combo.

"Thanks Paris."

When Rory got back to her dorm, she decided to call her mom. She held down the speed dial two and waited for someone to answer. The voice on the phone was not what she was expecting.

"Hello," a male voice answered.

"Mom?" Rory asked, confused.

"Oh hey Rory, it's Luke," he was uncomfortable to be talking to his girlfriend's daughter after waking up at her house. Not to mention what he knows about her mother that he isn't supposed to tell anyone.

"Oh hey Luke! What's up?"

"Uh, nothing. How about you?"

"Nothing. I was just at breakfast and realized that I hadn't talked to mom in a while. Is she feeling better? She called me last week and said that she was sick. What was wrong with her?"

"Oh, she's okay I guess. Still a little out of it. I'm sure she'd feel better if she saw you. Are you stopping by soon?"

"I was thinking about it," Rory replied. "Is that okay with mom though? Last week she asked me not to."

Luke shook his head. How did Christopher get her to do all of this? "Yea, definitely. She's been talking about you but she didn't want to bother her."

"She could never bother me," Rory said. "Well I guess she could," Luke laughed, "but I want her to feel better."

"Well, I'll see you later then Rory."

"Yea, and Luke?"

"Yea?"

"Thanks for taking care of her. She's lucky to have you."

Luke smiled. "It's my pleasure. See you later."

"Bye."

About ten minutes later, a tired Lorelai made her way down the stairs. "Hey handsome," she greeted Luke with a peck on the lips. "Who were you talking to earlier?"

"Oh, Rory called. She said she was going to stop by later."

Lorelai's face lit up. "Really? What time?"

"She didn't say."

"Okay, well are you going to stick around so that you can see her when she gets here?" Lorelai asked. She did want Luke to be able to see Rory, but she also didn't feel comfortable being alone yet.

"Sure. I haven't seen her in a while either."

"Good."

An hour later, Rory's silver car rolled up the driveway at the Gilmore house. Lorelai ran outside to greet her.

"There's my darling daughter!" she called as she ran to greet her daughter. Luke followed her out to the front lawn.

"Hey mom!" she gave her mom a tight squeeze, and Lorelai flinched, which didn't go unnoticed by Rory. "Oh sorry, I forgot, you were sick so you are still weak. Are you feeling better thought?"

Lorelai was glad that she didn't suspect anything esle. "Yea, Luke took very good care of me." She looked at Luke with loving eyes. He really did take good care of her. Luke beamed back.

"Hey Rory," he stepped forward to give her an awkward hug.

"Hey Luke! Thanks for taking care of her. I know she can be a pain when she's sick. She gets even more needy and demanding then usual.

Lorelai feigned offense. "Hey! I am my cheery self twenty-four seven!"

Both Luke and Rory rolled their eyes. "Of course you are, mom. I don't know where I got the idea that you weren't."

Lorelai chuckled and put her arm around Rory and walked into the house, Luke following behind. He stepped back to look at the sight in front of him. This is how it should be. Lorelai and Rory together and safe.
