Hey I figured I'd give you all a shorter chapter so that the Valentine's day chapter can be nice and long.
Thank you to all that have been reviweing, i love all types of reiviews, good, bad, and in between. I tired to make this chapter way less dramatic as someone requested, i hoped it worked out okay.
Please Review, I won't know if you like it if you don't!
Time Lapse: Now it is February 13, 10:00 AM, Mark and Mia are in school, Luke is at the diner and Lorelai took the day off to spend time with the triplets.
In the triplets room, Lorelai is getting Michael dressed while Lauren and Sammie are playing on the floor.
"Alright my little boy you are all set and ready to go. Now what do you three say we go bug your dad."
"Dada." All three yell happily.
She puts them in the carriage and they walk down the street to Luke's.
"Luukkee." Lorelai calls out as they enter the diner. She doesn't see him anywhere so she goes over to a table and put the carriage near the window.
"Hello." Kirk says and sits down at their table.
"Um hi Kirk, what are you doing?" He is staring strangely at Lorelai.
"Well Lorelai, I was wondering if you would be my valentine date tomorrow considering tomorrow is Valentine's Day."
"Aw Kirk that's very sweet but I'm married."
"I know."
"I'm married Kirk, to Luke," He is still staring, Lorelai let's out an exaggerated sigh "You were at the wedding."
"Well do you think he would mind if you went out with me for one evening." He tries to sound polite.
"Kirk! Get away from her!" A frustrated Luke yells as he comes out of the storage room. Kirk looks at Luke and runs out of the diner. As soon as he leaves Lorelai can't hold back her laugh anymore and lets it all out.
"You really find this funny don't you." Luke tries to act serious but it's really not working. Soon after both adults are laughing, their kids look up at them and start laughing too.
"I think they think Kirk is funny too." Lorelai says.
"He's not funny, he's just plain weird and…you know there is no real way to describe what Kirk is." Lorelai rolls her eyes and smiles. "And I don't want these three anywhere near him."
"Aye, aye captain, but who knows maybe I should take him up on his offer considering a certain someone hasn't mentioned any plans for tomorrow." Now its Luke's turn to roll his eyes.
"Nice try. I told you it's a surprise; all you have to do you call up a babysitter and be dressed and ready to go by 7:00."
"Ugh, fine. Now can I please have some coffee?"
"Coming right up." Lorelai leans over to the triplets.
"Okay here is what I want you three to do, I want you to act really cute and maybe your daddy will tell me the surprise. Now show me that pout." They looked at their mother strangely at first but then Sammie got the idea and tried to stick her lip out.
"Yay! That's my girl, okay you two, you try." Lorelai helps the little one year olds, as she is teaching them that, Luke comes back over to the table.
"Oh now what are you teaching them."
"Nothing." She puts her hands on her lap and gives him an innocent smile.
"Mmhmm, you were teaching them to pout weren't you."
"No."
"Yes you were."
"Was not."
"Was too."
"Was not."
"Was- Agrhhh." Luke groans.
"Ha-ha, Luke I think Sammie wants to ask you something." Lorelai picks her up and puts her on her lap; Luke sits on the chair across from them.
"Show daddy the pout." Sammie sticks her bottom lip out. "Now tell daddy what you want."
"Dada, orrow uris mama no." Then she started blubbering in baby talk trying to tell her dad what her mom had asked.
"Oh really, Lorelai would you like to decode that for me."
"Nope, I think she did a good job all by herself."
"Lorelai she's one, she barley knows 10 full words."
"Okay minor set back." She puts Sam back in the carriage.
"I'm not telling you were we are going."
"Fine, then maybe I don't want to go out with you anyway!" She crosses her arms and pouts; Luke just rolls his eyes and goes into the kitchen to make some food for his crazy wife and kids.
Nighttime, the same day, Lorelai, Luke, Mark and Mia are the only ones awake. It is 7:30.
The four of them are sitting in the living room watching T.V and talking about their day.
"Mom, dad, there's a valentines day dance tomorrow night. Can I go?"
Luke and Lorelai look at each other. "What time is this dance at?" Luke asks his son.
"It starts at 7 and ends at 9. It's only for the 6th and 7th graders and I really want to go. Please can I?" Mark begs.
"Well I don't see why not, tomorrow is Friday and that's one less kid for the babysitter, Luke?" Lorelai says and asks Luke what he thinks.
"Yeah you can go, just stay out of trouble."
"Thanks dad! Thanks mom!" he hugs them both and then nervously looks down at the floor.
"What's wrong hunny?"
"I need to talk you dad, alone."
"Okay," To Mia, "Come on sweetie it's getting late. It's time for bed." Lorelai picks up Mia who is already half asleep and carries her upstairs to bed.
"What is it Mark?"
"Okay there's this kid and he has a best friend, who is a girl and he is starting to really like her and wants to go to the dance with her but doesn't know if he should ask her or not." Luke nods slowly.
"So let me guess, you want to invite Maria to the dance tomorrow?"
Mark looks surprised that he figured it out. "Yeah, how did you know that?"
"I can just tell, now I think you are a little young to have a girlfriend but if you want to go with her then just ask her, there's nothing else to it, but you better not do anything to hurt her. Okay."
"I would never hurt her dad, she's my best friend."
"Okay well you should get up to bed, good night."
"Night dad." Mark goes up to bed as Lorelai is coming down. She sits down in between Luke's legs and lays he head and back against his chest. He then wraps his arms around her and they sit enjoying the quiet.
"So what did you and Mark talk about?"
"Oh, well he wants to ask Maria if she will go to the dance with him tomorrow."
"Wow." Lorelai simply states.
"What?"
"It's just….Sometimes I can't believe how fast he is growing up, it seems like just yesterday I was 25 and sitting in the hospital bed with him in my arms and now he is 11 and taking a girl who he has known since he was two, to a school dance."
"Yeah I know what you mean." He rubs her arms up and down and she smiles up at him.
"You know, the two of them could make the new boy meets world."
"What?"
"You know Luke, Cory and Tapanga, they knew each other since they were two and then towards the last seasons they end up married."
"Okay one, I have never watched that show and two, they are 2 eleven year old kids, there is no way they are thinking about marriage."
"I can't believe you have never seen Boy meets world. We totally have to buy the dvd so that you can watch them."
"Why not just watch reruns?"
"Oh so you're telling me that if I turned on the T.V. right now and a rerun was on, you would sit here and watch it?" She says in a yeah right sort of tone.
"No."
"Ha I knew it."
"What ever, crazy lady."
"I heard that." She smacks him playfully. "I should not have sit here while you call me names, I'm going to bed."
"Not so fast." He grabs her legs and pulls her back down, causing them both to laugh.
"Mhhmm, maybe I will stay here, this is much more comfortable." She is laying ontop on him, falling asleep.
"I never said fall asleep. You are too heavy for me to carry up all those stairs."
"If I could get up right now I would smack you again, and it wouldn't be in a fun place." That made Luke shut for the rest of the night and Lorelai giggled a little, then fell asleep.
