The next morning, Luke made heart shaped pancakes for the girls and the Rory made her way to Dean's. "Hey." She said walking in. "Happy Valentine's Day."
"Happy Valentine's Day." She said. "So I was going to get you a tie, like the salesman suggested." Dean cringed. "But I knew better than that." He laughed and she continued. "So I saw this really cute polo sweater…" He made a face. "And, so I ended up buying you a sweatshirt."
"You're the best." He smiled. "Happy Valentine's day." He handed her roses and chocolates. Rory put the roses on the table, paying no attention and ripping open the box of chocolates, smiling like a little kid. Dean was not surprised but he still made a face. He put the roses in a vase for her, and the two of them sat on the couch. "So do you want kids?" Dean asked, ready to have a real discussion as Rory always wanted.
"Ewww, coconut." She said not in her serious mode. She handed him the bitten chocolate and he gave her a look. She put on more of a serious face, "Yeah."
Dean ate the rest of the coconut candy. "How many?"
"I'm not sure. I still have to figure out the whole working thing. What about you?"
"Three?"
"That sounds, like it'd be good." Rory smiled.
At Lorelai's House
Once Rory had left, Luke and Lorelai exchanged their gifts. "Happy Valentine's Day." Luke said, sincerely. He handed her the basics of course, flowers and candy.
"Wow, Luke giving me junk food." Lorelai said in amazement. Luke gave her a look. Lorelai took the platter of cupcakes from behind her back. "I baked."
"Oh my gosh!" Luke screamed in panic and ran into the kitchen. He came back very calm. "No you didn't, the kitchen is not destroyed."
Lorelai pouted and put on her "insulted" face. "Fine, Sookie baked," and her face quickly changed to a grin.
"You got another woman to make me a Valentine's day gift?"
"Yeah…" Lorelai said, seeing no problem with the situation. Luke just sighed, and turned around. But when Lorelai wasn't looking, he turned back and smiled.
Valentine's Day Night Dean and Rory at Marcella's
"I have something to tell you." Dean said reaching for Rory's hand.
"A good something or a bad something."
"Good." He said looking into her eyes and smiling. She could tell he was excited. "You know, how I'm Junior Art Executive at Maddock and Adderley."
"Yep. Advertising really is your thing."
"I got a promotion." He was grinning. Rory found him so cute when he was excited, his face beamed like a little boy.
"Oh Dean that's great!"
"It's only a little more money, but still something, and much more flexible hours." Rory smiled and gave him a kiss.
