Chapter 11 – It Would Be Perfect
Yay chapter 11! Anyway I am really feeling inspired lately. I'm really can't see why. I have never ever updated this quickly in my whole life. Well except for a few chapter in this story but you get what I mean. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this:)
Thanks again SOOOO much to my wonderful fantastic reviewers!!!
"Hey Sookie." Lorelai said as she walked into the kitchen at the inn.
"Hi." Sookie said, somewhat distracted.
"Do you have anymore of those delicious blueberry scones left?"
"Yeah. Over there." She pointed to a spot on the counter.
"What's wrong?" Lorelai said as she took a bite of her scone.
"Oh, nothing." She sighed. "It's impossible to find a babysitter. Every teenage girl in this town is already taken."
"Really? There's no one left?"
"No one left." Sookie's eyes lit up. "Hey, what about Rory?"
Lorelai laughed. "Rory? My Rory?"
Sookie nodded.
"Are you kidding me? Rory does not do kids."
"I'm sure she could. Davey is a good kid."
"Yeah but he is a baby. Besides she has no experience."
"Damn."
"Well, when do you wanna go out?"
"Saturday at 8:00."
"Well, I could watch him if you want. I'm not doing anything."
"What about Luke? Don't you have plans with him?"
"Nope. I'm all yours."
Sookie ran over and hugged Lorelai tightly. "You're the best friend ever."
"Well I think so."
"Really you are! Thank you so much!"
"Actually I think it will be fun."
"Ok, well, I'll drop him off at 7:30."
"Ok sounds great."
Sookie hugged Lorelai again.
"Ok Sook, need air."
"Oh, sorry." She giggled.

"Hello my favorite daughter." Lorelai said as she walked in to Luke's.
"Hello my favorite mother." Rory greeted.
"So, how about we don't go to Friday night dinner?"
"Mom…"
"I think we deserve a break."
"I think we should go."
"Yeah but I think we shouldn't go."
"Mom, we're going."
"Gaaaahhhhh!"
"Oh come on."
"You're mean."
"I know." She said as she got up. "I'm gonna do some homework before we go."
"Ok. I'll be back a 6:00."
"You better be."
"Yeah yeah I know. We're going. Ok I got it."
"Good."
Lorelai walked over to the counter and sat down at the stool.
"So what are you doing tomorrow night?" She asked.
"Hopefully something with you." He said as he poured her coffee.
"Ya know what I think would be fun?"
"What?"
"Babysitting Davey."
Luke's eyes widened. "Davey? Sookie's Davey?"
"Yeah."
"You want to spend our Saturday night watching Sookie's kid?"
"Yes." She said softly. "Come on, it'll be fun."
"I'm sure." He said sarcastically.
"Luke, you can't hate kids that much. I mean he's so cute. And you liked Rory, remember?"
"I didn't know Rory when she was that little."
"Yeah but you would have liked her."
"Babies cry."
"I know."
"Loudly."
"Yep."
He sighed. "Fine."
"Yay!" She got up and headed towards the door. "It's gonna be fun. Just wait."
"I'm excited." He said sarcastically.

"So you're really not gonna stay?" Lorelai asked Rory as she shoved potato chips in her mouth.
"If you were gonna be alone I would have. But Luke's coming." Rory said from her bedroom.
"So?"
"I'm going to a movie with Dean. So, now we can both be with our boyfriends."
"I can't wait to see Luke holding Davey. I have never ever seen him with a kid."
"Yeah I know. He's not much of a kid person."
Lorelai frowned.
"What?"
"Well, he could be."
"Yeah, I guess."
"I mean he would like our kids."
"Your kids?"
"Well, yeah…"
"Wow."
"I mean some day."
"I always wanted a little brother or sister."
"Don't mention this to Luke ok?"
"I won't." She looked at her watch. "I gotta go meet Dean."
"Have fun."
"I will. Tell Davey I said hi."
"Ok. Bye hon."
A few minutes later Lorelai heard a knock at the door. She clipped the chips shut and walked over to the door.
"Hey Sook, hi Davey."
"Hi Lorelai. Thank you so much for doing this." She said as she handed Davey to Lorelai.
"Hey, it's no problem." She turned her head to face Davey. "We're gonna have a good time tonight, aren't we?"
"So, here's all his stuff. Ya know, diapers, bottles, toys…"
"Got it."
"He usually goes to bed around 8:30 or 9:00, but it depends."
"Ok."
"So, I guess that's it." She kissed Davey on the top of his head. "Bye sweetie. Be good for Lorelai."
"Bye. Have a good time." Lorelai said as Sookie left the house. "Alright Davey, ya wanna watch TV?"
She walked over and sat down the couch. She turned on the TV and flipped through the channels.
"Sesame Street. Too predictable. Telletubbies. To freaky. Ah, here we go. I Dream of Jeanie. Classic."
After a few minutes there was a knock at the door.
"It's open!" Lorelai called.
"So is he …" He looked at Lorelai and then at the baby. "Oh."
"Look who it is, Davey? It's Luke and he absolutely loves little babies just like you."
Luke rolled his eyes. "Just keep him away from me."
"Luke, come on." She picked up Davey and made him face look. "Look how cute he is. Look at that face."
"He's drooling."
"Sit down. We're watching I Dream of Jeanie."
Luke took off his coat and went over to sit on the couch. He looked over at Davey and made a disgusted face.
They sat mostly in silence until Davey started crying which made Luke jump into the air and make Lorelai laugh hysterically at him.
"What's he doing? Why is he crying?" Luke asked angrily.
"He probably hungry. Here." She said handing Davey to Luke.
"No way. I'm not holding him."
"Either hold him or make a bottle."
"Fine. Give him to me."
"I'll be right back." She walked quickly into the kitchen.
"Hey kid we get it. You're hungry."
Davey's crying started to slow down as he reached for Luke's face. He kept grabbing his cheeks and squealing with delight.
"What are you doing? Yes, that's my face."
Davey reached for Luke's hat and pulled it off his head. He gazed at it for a minute then he proceeded to put it in his mouth.
"Ah geeze. Come on kid."
Lorelai walked in from the kitchen and started laughing.
"Awww, look he likes you."
"He's eating my hat."
"Here Davey let me get that for ya." She gently took the hat out of Davey's mouth. "I think you'll like this better." She handed him a bottle.
Lorelai looked at Luke and smiled.
"What?" He asked.
"Look at you."
"What? Did he drool on me or something?"
"Look at you holding a baby."
"Yeah, well…"
"I'll go put him to bed."
"Ok. Good."
He sat down on the couch and kicked his hat off the coffee table. He would definitely get a new one. One that didn't have baby drool on it.
Lorelai returned and sat down next to Luke. She placed her head on his chest and he kissed the top of her head.
"See that was fun." She said.
"I guess."
"Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"You wanna have kids, right?"
Luke's eyes widened and his heart started beating faster. "Ummm…yeah I guess."
"You guess?"
"Well, yeah, I mean eventually."
"I mean you always say that you hate kids. But if we had kids you wouldn't hate them."
Luke smiled. Wow. Having a family with Lorelai. He had never told anyone that that had been his dream all along.
"I know I would love our kids. There is no way I would hate them. Ever."
"I know." She paused and then laughed softly. "Can you imagine us parents? I mean you trying to feed the kids vegetables and whole grain, and me giving them coffee and donuts?"
"Our kids would not drink coffee."
"Are you kidding me? Yes they would. They would love it because they are my kids. But, they would love vegetable too. Because they are you're kids."
Luke laughed softly. "Yeah."
Lorelai lifted her head up and looked into his eyes."You would be a great dad. You were for Rory."
"I wasn't Rory's dad."
"Yes you were. You were more of a dad to her than Chris ever was and ever will be. You were always there for her. And me."
"I was glad to help."
"I know. I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner."
"See what?"
"How completely amazing you are. And how much I wanted to be with you."
"Well we're together now."
"I want two."
"Two what?"
"Kids. One of each."
"Ok…"
"A boy for you and a girl for me. It would be perfect."
"Yeah. It would be perfect."
Lorelai placed her head back on his chest and they sat there in each other arms for the rest of the night. Just enjoying each other's company. And it was perfect.
So, I dunno I think this chapter might have been a little pointless but I really wanted a chapter where Luke has to face his "fears" about kids and then he realizes that we would love to have kids with Lorelai. Because I think it would be so great if they had kids on the show. Now I think its kinda improbable, but I would LOVE for it to happen. :)
