Chapter 30 – You're An Amazing Woman
So, here we are. God, I really SUCK at updating. It seems like each time I take more and more time. I'm sorry, guys. But, this is the last chapter, finally. I hope people haven't forgot about this since it took me about 46 years to update. Hehe. Well, read and enjoy!
Thanks to all my reviewers throughout the story. You guys are amazing!
Finally, later that night, after all the guests had left and everything had been cleaned up, Lorelai and Luke finally got some peace and quiet. Luke had gone to go change out his suit and Lorelai decided to stay in her wedding dress a little longer. After all, how many times do you get to wear it? Once. Well, usually the plan is once.
After a few minutes Lorelai got bored and she stared across the room at the huge stack of presents. Should she wait for Luke to open them?
Nah.
When Luke walked into the foyer of the inn he was not surprised at where he found his wife.
"Did we get anything good?" He asked.
She turned around and smiled. "We got a kick-ass coffee maker from Miss Patty."
"Kick-ass coffee maker?" Luke said, as he sat down on the floor next to her.
"Yeah, and look!" She said, shoving an object in his face.
"What is that?"
"It's a Hello Kitty Toaster! And it even puts the Hello Kitty face on your toast!"
"Are you serious?" Luke said, somewhat disgusted.
"Oh my god, we are going to make so much toast!"
Luke raised his eyebrows. "And who gave us this lovely gift?"
"Sookie and Jackson."
"Figures."
"Ya wanna open one?" She said, handing him a package.
"Sure."
Luke tore the shiny silver paper off the small package and threw it over his shoulder. He opened the box and on top of the tissue paper there was an envelope that said 'Luke and Lorelai' on it.
"You wanna read it?" He asked.
"No, this is your present."
"It's actually both of ours."
"Shut up and read it."
Luke rolled his eyes as he opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. It was on very nice stationary, white with silver roses around the edge of it. He looked at the top of the letter.
'Mr. and Mrs. Richard and Emily Gilmore.'
"I think you should read this." Luke said, showing her the letter.
"Oh." She said, taking the letter from him.
When she read the letter she looked like she was going to cry. Her eyes were filling with tears and she had a look of sadness on her face.
What had they said in that letter?
"Lorelai?" He said softly. "What does it say?"
Ignoring his question, Lorelai grabbed the box from his lap and carefully undid the silver sticker that held the tissue paper closed. Tears fell down her face as she gazed upon the object in the box. She slowly picked them up and showed them to Luke.
"Baby booties?" Luke said, confused.
"My baby booties." She said softly. "I wore them when I was a baby. My mother saved them. She saved them all this time."
Luke raised his eyebrows. "Wow."
"She said that they had no idea what to get us so they just gave us money. But then they decided that was too impersonal for their only child's wedding. So they gave us these."
"Look how tiny they are." Luke said.
"I can't believe they did this."
"You're parents have been acting…"
"Totally weird!" Lorelai interjected.
"I was gonna say really nice, but whatever."
"My entire life my parents and I have fought and disagreed. I swear my mom disapproved of how I came out of her."
"Ah geeze." Luke said. "Thanks for that image."
"This is…I can't believe this."
"I know."
"I can't believe they kept these."
Luke reached over and pulled her closer to him. He kissed her softly on the top of her head. She looked up at him and smiled. She carefully placed the baby booties back in the box and put the tissue paper back over them.
She gently placed her hand on his clean-shaven face. She actually liked it better when he didn't shave, but it was their wedding, so he figured it would be appropriate to shave.
Her eyes fluttered shut as she kissed him tenderly. His hand slid to her lower back and he pushed her closer to him. The kisses began increasing in intensity and soon they were both lying on the floor. Lorelai began to undo Luke's tie and unbutton his shirt.
"Are you trying to make a kid to wear those booties?" Luke teased.
Lorelai smiled. "Maybe…"
"Maybe we should take this upstairs. They are guests staying here."
"Very true." Lorelai agreed.
She slowly crawled off him and fixed her dress once again. She quickly ran behind the desk and scanned the reservation book. Room seven was open. She grabbed the key and went towards the stairs.
"Are you coming?" Lorelai asked, seductively.
"Dear god yes." He said, following her up the stairs.
----
The next morning Lorelai was awakened by voices outside their room. She felt like they were yelling, although that wasn't true, she just wasn't much of a morning person. She looked over at Luke. He was still sleeping. She couldn't believe it. Mr. Wake-up-at-the-crack-of-dawn was still sleeping. She probably had tired him out last night.
She tried going to go back to sleep, but she was curious about who was outside. She slowly got out of bed a put on a robe. As she approached the door she began to recognize the voices.
"So, what am I supposed to do?" Michel said in his usual angry condescending tone. "Tell them we can't give them their room because the manager and her boyfriend are having sex!"
"It's husband." Sookie corrected.
"Whatever. They need to get out of there."
"Why can't we just tell them to explore town for a little?"
"And where will they put their things?"
"Let me handle this, ok?"
"Fine. I don't care." Michel said as he stormed off.
As soon as Lorelai was sure he was gone, she quietly opened the door and slipped outside.
"Hey Sook." Lorelai said.
"Lorelai, hi. I'm sorry, did we wake you?"
"No, it's fine." Lorelai said. "So, we're in someone's room?"
"The Patterson's."
"I thought I checked the book…"
"You might have been a little distracted last night." Sookie said, nudging her friend.
"Sookie…"
"So, how was it?"
"We've had sex before, Sook."
"I know. But now you're married!"
"I know." She said happily.
Sookie beamed. "Look at you. A married women."
"I know." Lorelai said. "So, just give me a minute and I'll get us out of here."
"Take your time. I can entertain the Patterson's for awhile."
"Thanks Sookie." Lorelai whispered as she slipped back into the room.
She tiptoed back to the bed and slid between the sheets. She pulled herself up against him and kissed him softly on the shoulder. He stirred slightly and turned over.
"Good morning, sunshine." Lorelai said.
"Hey." He said sleepily. "What time is it?"
"I don't know, but the Patterson's are here."
"The Patterson's?"
"The guests that are supposed to stay in this room."
"I thought you checked the book?"
"Yeah, I did." Lorelai said slowly. "They weren't here yesterday…"
"Should we make the bed or something?"
"Luke, the Patterson's are not going to sleep with the same sheets we had sex in."
"Right." He said, sliding to the end of the bed and grabbing a robe.
"Here." She said, handing him his clothes. "I don't think you wanna go back to the diner in a robe."
He laughed. "No I don't."
"So…" She said.
"So…" He said, pulling on his pants.
"We're married." She said.
He smiled and pulled her closer to him. "Yes we are."
They just stared into each other's eyes for a minute until Luke softly captured her lips in a passionate kiss, which she proceeded to return. He slipped his hand past her waist and placed is on her thigh. Without even thinking about it, he slid his hand under her robe and slowly up her thigh.
"Hey there, Mister." She said seductively. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Sorry. The Patterson's."
"Stupid, stupid Patterson's." She said.
"You should get dressed too."
"I guess I should…" She said. "Although, it might be fun to walk out of here in just a robe…"
"Lorelai…" Luke warned, knowing where this was going.
"I mean, we're married now. So, why not flaunt it? Why not tell everyone that we almost had sex on the floor of the foyer?"
Luke rolled his eyes. "Get dressed."
"You're no fun." She pouted.
"You've already walked into a busy diner in just one of my flannel shirts. I think people get it."
"But we weren't married then. It's not the same."
"It is."
"It isn't."
"Lorelai."
"Luke." She imitated.
"I gotta get to the diner." He said, kissing her quickly and walking over towards the door.
"Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"Yesterday was the most amazing day of my life. It was perfect."
Luke smiled. "It was perfect."
"And last night was great too."
"Here we go." Luke said, rolling his eyes.
A soft giggle escaped her lips as she walked over to him. "I love you, Luke Danes."
"I love you, Lorelai Gilmore."
"Danes." Lorelai corrected.
"Right. Sorry. I love you, Lorelai Danes."
"So, I guess I'll see you tonight."
"You gonna come to the diner?"
"Maybe…Why? Are you gonna miss me too much?"
"I thought you would want coffee."
"Oh, yes I do want coffee."
He laughed. Some things would never change. "See ya later."
"Bye hon."
------
"This thing is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen!" Lorelai said as she pulled two slices of bread out of the Hello Kitty Toaster. "Look!" she said, showing her daughter.
"Whoa." Rory said, reaching to grab the toast from her mom. "Sookie and Jackson are amazing!"
"I know." She said, sitting down at the table. "I can't wait to show Luke. He's gonna hate it."
Rory laughed. "Yes he will."
As she was about to take a bite of her toast, Lorelai's hand flew across the table and grabbed Rory's hand.
"What are you doing?" Rory asked.
"You're going to eat Hello Kitties face?"
"Well, it's toast."
"Yeah."
"You eat toast."
"Not Hello Kitty toast!"
"So every time you make toast in the Hello Kitty toaster you are going to…"
"Ummm…I dunno. Save it?"
"Save every piece of toast you ever make?"
"Fine, point taken."
"Butter please." Rory said.
Lorelai reached over to the counter and slid the butter across the table.
"I know why you're so violent." Lorelai said suddenly.
"How am I violent?"
"When you were a kid you used to eat the head of you chocolate bunnies first."
"So?"
"Wouldn't you leave the head until last?"
"I don't know." Rory said, slightly annoyed. "It's just chocolate. I ate it because it tasted good."
"Fine, ok. If you don't see it, then that's fine."
Rory rolled her eyes and took a bite out of her toast. "Mmmm Hello Kitty you are so delicious!"
"Rory!"
"Look!" She said shoving it in her mother's face. "I took a bite out of its face. I guess had practice from all those chocolate bunnies!"
"Mean kid!"
"Hey, what's going on in here?" Luke said, walking into the kitchen. "I could hear you outside."
"Rory's being mean!" Lorelai said.
"No, mom's being crazy." Rory protested.
"Tell her she's mean, Luke."
"Tell her she's crazy!"
"Uh…." Luke said, unsure of what to do.
Lorelai pulled him closer and kissed him passionately on the lips. They kissed until the need for oxygen became evident and they reluctantly parted.
"No fair." Rory said. "You have an advantage."
Lorelai giggled. "Life isn't fair, kid. You better get used to that now."
"I'm going to bed." Rory said. "Goodnight Mom."
"Goodnight sweets." She said, kissing her on the cheek.
"Goodnight Luke." Rory said, walking over to her room.
"Goodnight Rory."
As soon as Rory was in her room with the door shut, Lorelai immediately pulled herself up against him. She kissed him softly and laid her hand on his chest. She could feel his heat and exhaustion from a long day at the diner. He swept his hands past her stomach and rested them on her hips.
"So, I was thinking." She said.
"Were you?"
"Yes I was. I was thinking about us."
"Uh huh…"
"I think this is going to work."
He smiled. "Well that's good to hear."
"I was pretty sure before. But now I am definitely positively sure." She waited for a response. "Do you concur?"
"Yes I definitely positively do."
Now it was her turn to smile. "Good."
"So, ya wanna go to bed?"
"Yes." She said, taking his hand. "We are using two blankets tonight. You hogged the blanket last time."
"I did not hog the blanket."
"I woke up twice freezing because you had all the blanket."
"If anyone hogs the blanket, it would be you."
She opened her mouth in shock. "What? You cannot blame this on me!"
"If, and that's a huge if, I hog the blanket tonight you have my permission to steal it back."
"Or, I could just grab onto that warm body of yours."
"I like that idea better."
"Me too. You're too strong to steal the blanket from."
Luke rolled his eyes. "You're an amazing women."
"Thank you for noticing." She said, following him upstairs and into the bedroom.
So, I found it kinda sad that I was ending this story and the show just ended. I was like, maybe I won't end it! But, then I realized that it had to be done. I have, however, started on another story/maybe sequel to this story. So, I hope you guys liked this and I plan to write more stories because with no more GG I need to create my own :)
Let me know what you think!
