Chapter 6: Lorelai's Little Man
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Babies wrapped in blankets of both pink and blue lined the window. The nursery was full. But one baby in particular stood out. He was wrapped in a blue cotton blanket. He had bright blue eyes and dark brown hair. But those weren't the reasons he stood out. He was the only baby in the hospital who was premature.
The doctors had told Luke that he would have some heart problems. Since Lucas was at the stage where his heart wasn't completely developed problems would arise as he continued to grow.
All of this was unknown to Lorelai. Since the minute Lucas left her arms, she had fallen into a deep comfortable sleep. The doctors had told Luke that was normal, but he was still worried. So he stayed by her bed side, only leaving when needing to go to the bathroom.
But when Rory came in, Luke left with her to show her, her baby brother.
"What's his name?" Rory asked excitedly as they made their way to the nursery.
"Lucas William Richard Danes." Luke said proudly. "But I didn't choose it."
"Mom made you name him after you didn't she?" Rory asked looking up at her step father.
"Yea." Luke said as they came up on the nursery.
"Aw!" Rory squealed as she looked over the babies. "Which one is he?"
"The little one." Luke said pointing at Lucas.
"Oh! He is so cute." Rory smiled. "He looks so much like you Luke."
"Does he?"
"Yea." Rory said looking up at Luke. "The ears, and the nose. Yours dead out."
"Nah."
"Yea. That there is your twin." Rory laughed as she thought about it. "He looks like you. He has the same name as you, and I bet mom will dress him like you too."
"Aw jeez."
Rory just smiled as she saw Luke's face light up with a smile.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Finally three days later Lorelai and Lucas were able to leave the hospital. Lorelai had made up a list of things for Luke to get for her and Lucas before they left. So Luke left for home and rounded up her list of items. Clothes for her, a blue foreigners t-shirt, and a pair of gray sweat pants. Clothes for Lucas, a onesie with the red sox emblem on it. The brand new diaper bag filled with diapers, toys, blankets, and extra clothes. And lastly the little blue baseball cap she had bought to match Luke's.
Lorelai sat on the bed with Lucas in her arms waiting on Luke to return. When he finally did, she handed Lucas to him and quickly changed. Then she retrieved the outfit for Lucas and the blanket she wanted and got him dressed and wrapped, and put into his carrier. As she got ready to leave out the door she remembered one thing.
"Cap."
"What?"
"Cap." Lorelai stated.
"What?"
"His baby cap."
Luke sighed and rolled his eyes as he pulled the cap out of his back pocket and handed it to his wife.
"Thank you." Lorelai sat down the carrier and placed the hat on Lucas' head backwards, just to match his dad. "Perfect." She smiled then picked up the carrier and headed out.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Home again finally!" Lorelai sighed as she plopped down onto the couch and stretched out. "I haven't been here in so long."
"Five days." Luke stated as he came in with the baby carrier and the diaper bag.
"Five long days."
"Yea." Luke replied setting the carrier down and taking Lucas out. "So you wanna see the new part of the house?"
Lorelai sprung up. "It's done?"
"Yep."
"All of it?"
"All of it."
"Even the painting?"
"Even the painting."
"Nursery?"
"Done."
"But I wanted to help with the nursery." Lorelai pouted.
"Well before you get all upset, see it."
Lorelai sighed and stood up.
"You wanna hold him?"
"You can." Lorelai stated. "Cause if I get mad and you're holding him I wont be able to hit you."
"So he's my protection."
"Yep."
Luke shook his head as he laid Lucas over his shoulder and headed up the stairs. As he neared a door that read Little Danes, Luke turned his back to the door and looked at Lorelai.
"Ready?"
"Ready." Lorelai said as Luke stepped out of the way to let her open the door and enter.
As the door opened Lorelai's face dropped. At first Luke thought she was upset, but when she turned to him and kissed him deeply, he knew it was a good thing.
Luke smiled against her lips. "So you like?"
"Love." She smiled as she pecked his lips and turned back to the nursery.
It was a beautiful soft blue with white wood. The crib that Lorelai had gotten was placed in the center of a window and the blue and white striped chair that was given to her was sitting in the corner. The room was filled with everything a baby would ever need. Toys ranging from teddy bears to toy cars were everywhere. When the closet was opened blue outfits filled it.
Lorelai was shocked as she looked around the room. When her eyes landed on the dresser and the items on top of it her breath caught in her throat.
She slowly made her way to the dresser.
She smiled as she picked up the first picture frame. In it was a picture of Luke and Lorelai right before Lucas was born. In the next one was a picture of Lorelai and Lucas after he was first born. The one next to it was of Luke and Lucas. And the last one was of Lorelai, Luke, Rory, and Lucas. Lorelai smiled at the pictures and turned back to Luke.
"This is amazing Luke." Lorelai smiled.
"I'm guessing you like it."
"I love it." Lorelai smiled looking around. "It's perfect."
"I'm glad." Luke said as Lucas began to cry.
"Aw," Lorelai said. "Is my baby boy hungry?"
Lorelai took Lucas from Luke and sat down in the chair. She gently lifted Lucas to her breast and let him begin to feed.
"That' not all." Luke said as he headed to the closet. He gently reached up and pulled a thick blue album of some sort from the top. "Here, Sookie made it."
Luke handed it to her and gently laid his hand on Lucas' back to keep him still.
Lorelai looked down at the cover of the album. "What is this?"
"Here." Luke said as he gently picked Lucas up and Lorelai pulled her top up.
Lorelai opened the album to be revealed with a picture she hadn't seen in years. It was of Lorelai and Rory and Sookie. It was the very first picture they had taken together. She smiled at the memory. As she flipped to the next page she found pictures of when her and Rory was living in the potting shed. Some of their first bath in the shed or of them dressed up in some outfit. The pictures were of when Rory was from ages one to three. The next couple of pages were of Rory's first day of school. Next were of them moving into the crap shack. And then some were of Lorelai with her Luke's coffee in hand. Then there were a couple of pages of Rory and Lorelai getting ready for high school and leaving for college. Then some pictures of Luke and Lorelai when they first started dating. Some of when they were engaged. And then some of Rory and Luke. Then there were pictures of Luke as a baby and a teenager. And some of Liz and Jess and TJ and Delula. Some pictures of Luke's parents and some of April. Then finally of little Lucas by himself and some with his daddy, mommy, big sisters and cousins. Lorelai flipped the book closed and looked up and Luke and little Lucas.
"Hey my men." Lorelai said as she stood up and kissed Lucas on the head and Luke on the lips. "I love the room."
"Good." Luke said.
Lorelai smiled as she took Lucas from Luke and looked at his beautiful face.
"Are you my little man?"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Lorelai lay stretched out on the couch sipping water. Luke sat at the end of the couch massaging her feet.
"We have to pick out a nickname."
"What?"
"A nickname for Lucas."
"Oh."
"How about Will?" She asked. "Or Rich?"
"Doesn't matter."
"Hhhmm."
Luke massaged her feet some more as she thought.
"We can't call him Luke, because you're Luke." Lorelai sighed. "Oh! I know!" She smiled. "Butch!"
"Lorelai…" Luke groaned.
"Okay we won't call him Butch."
"Thank you."
"How about Rich?" Lorelai asked looking down at Luke. "We could keep with the R thing. Rory, Rich."
"Yea." Luke said as he gently massaged up her leg a little.
"Mmmm that feels good." Lorelai groaned.
Luke smiled as he went back to massaging her feet.
"Luke."
"Hhhmm?" Luke questioned.
"I love you."
"I know." Luke said as he looked up at Lorelai's content face. "So Rich?"
"Rich, my little man."
