I've been writing this chapter in my math binder whenever I had free time so I hope you all enjoy the long awaited chapter!-Marina

Lorelai pushed her back against the door and took a deep breath. Tears were starting to come back to her eyes but she refused to let them fall knowing once she started, she wouldn't stop. Of everything Luke could have done, sleeping with Anna was the last thing she ever though he could do. This wasn't fair, not one little bit. Luke knew how much she cared for him, how she would do absolutely anything if he asked. What had she ever done to him to make him turn around and sleep with his child's mother? Just the though of them in bed together made Lorelai shutter and feel sick to her stomach. The images were like photographs being taken as she thought of them and the previous night. She could see it. He would be at her door step, she would be kissing him, he was touching her, playing with her hair like he would do with her. It was disgusting and Lorelai had to push the thought from her head.

There was a knock at the door. Without turning around, Lorelai knew who it was. His large figure casted a shadow on the floor from behind her.

There was another small knock.

"Go away!" It was more of a plea of pain than a cry of anger.

"Lorelai..." She could hear it in his voice.

He was broken, whoever had been the man from the previous months disappeared. The Luke from the previous months had been distant, his tone always hinting that he was hiding something. This voice was different. Lorelai had remembered it like it was always there. When they first started dating their relationship was experimental, their emotions and bodies constantly consisted of new things waiting to be voice was one Lorelai discovered early on one morning after she had spent the night with him.

They were in bed together after having spent a night making love. Lorelai was on her side, the sheet covering her chest. She was in complete bliss and couldn't help but let out a sigh of contentment. She felt Luke shift closer to her and wrap his arm around her waist holding her close. Lorelai opened her eyes while turning to face him. His eyes were open and he looked at her with such an admirable gaze then smiled at her.

"Good morning." She said returning the smile. She moved her head towards his and softly kissed his lips. They were warm and she couldn't help but smile as she kissed him. When Luke didn't kiss her back, Lorelai pulled away with a puzzled look on her face.

"Luke are you..."

"Are you happy?" His voice was soft, almost in a whisper.

"Of course I am." She moved her hand to his chest. "You are an amazing friend and an even more amazing lover. Are you happy?" She already knew the answer but always loved to hear it. He simply nodded and before she started to close her eyes that voice came out. It was sweet and sensual yet raw and manly.

"Lorelai, I love you." This made her eyes pop wide open.

"Oh Luke..." She felt the exact same way but was afraid to admit it. Never before had she admitted love to a man because truthfully, it never felt right. Now, it felt more than right.

"I love you too." Luke's eyes darkened as he grabbed Lorelai and pulled her on top of him.

Another soft knock on the door brought Lorelai out of her memory and she turned to open the door. He stood there with his hands shoved in his pockets letting out a sigh as she moved to the side allowing him in. Walking inside Luke had to wonder what changed her mind as she let him in. When he came into the foyer he waited for Lorelai to shut the door then followed her as she walked into the living room then sat down across from her.

"So talk." Her voice was cold and when she finally lifted her head and looked at him her eyes were tearing and her cheeks were tear streaked. He took a deep breath before beginning to talk.

"Lorelai, you mean the work to me. I would never intentionally hurt you after everything we've gone through together. I would do anything to make you happy. I..."

"You wouldn't marry me." He knew it was coming but continued on.

"You have to understand my side. I didn't know what to do; I was still trying to get to know the daughter I never knew existed..."

"Stop. Just wait before you say anything else. You just said that "you" were trying to get to know her. You, not us. Being your fiancé I thought that you would at least let me help you get to know her. All I wanted was to be a part of it but you pushed me away. Every time you told me that you would see me after April left the diner you pushed me away. You were so caught up in your own world to see how much it hurt me. You have no idea how much it hurt to be pushed off to the side and watch how you changed. I forgave you for not telling me about her for all that time but then you became a completely different person. Martha's Vineyard was what pushed me to the very end. That trip was what made me realize that either I fight for you and give you an ultimatum, or end it. I chose to fight, and you chose not to." After speaking for the long breath, Lorelai softly gasped for air and then held it in.

"Why didn't you ever say anything to me about April? And with the ultimatum, Lorelai you just run up to me near tears telling me to run off, leave everything, and get married." He reached to put his hand on her knee but hesitated and pulled back knowing it wasn't the time.

"I shouldn't of had to tell you. You should have taken into consideration that I was your fiancé. The woman you wanted to share your entire life with might like to know about a daughter you have. How could we have shared our lives when you weren't willing to share yours? And fine, I will admit that the ultimatum wasn't fair but you explain the reason why you ran off..." Her voice broke. "And slept with Anna." She wiped a tear away.

Luke hung his head. "I have no reason. I was scared; I thought I had lost you for good. It seemed like once I didn't tell you about April when I found out, everything started going downhill. I don't expect you to forgive me ever, but know that I'm sorry. It was stupid, I'm stupid, and I regret it completely." When he made eye contact with her, he saw tears streaming down her face.

"Alright so you've said what you needed. As far as I'm concerned, we're done Luke. You can be with Anna but I can't see you again. We can't be friends let alone lovers. I think you should leave now." She took off the engagement ring and held it out in her hand for him to grab. Luke shook his head.

"I won't take it back. I bought that ring for you and not for anyone else. If I take it, it would mean that I was sorry about us and what we had. I'm not. I see those days as the best days of my life and nothing will ever compare to them."

Lorelai put her hand back down and looked away from Luke as he walked towards the front door. She heard it open then close and immediately broke down. It seemed as though she wouldn't ever stop crying and after every breath she took, it was harder to take the next one. Finally Lorelai stood up and headed upstairs. Once in her room, she pulled the covers back in her bed and laid down.

She could see it. She saw Luke, standing in front of her smiling as he started taking off her clothes. He walked towards her but went right through her and to the open arms of the person behind. As she turned around she saw the couple kissing passionately as they made their way to the bed. In horror Lorelai watched Luke and Anna start to make love. She tried to run out of the room but there was no door or window and when she turned around she saw Anna and Luke standing in front of a priest holding hands. Every time she blinked it seems as though the image would change. From the marriage, to Anna's swollen stomach, to Luke holding a baby, to the three of them taking a family photo, to Anna being pregnant again. The view of their lives as a couple made Lorelai feels sick to her stomach. When it seemed as though every image was spinning to the next, her dream became black.

As Lorelai opened her eyes she sat up in bed, her forehead damp. She put her hand to wipe the hair from her face when she heard a small voice.

"Hey Mom..."
