Lorelai burst into Luke's with Jackie in her arms. "We've got a very hungry child, Luke!"
Luke looked down at Corey, "Do you think we have enough pancakes to share with Mommy and Jackie?"
"Okay!" Corey said.
Luke puts a pancake on the plate in front of Jackie. She just stares at it. Lorelai gives Luke a funny look, takes a fork and knife and cuts it into little pieces for her. "Here you go Jackie." Lorelai says as she pours a little bit of syrup on it and hands her the fork.
"What are you doing here?" Luke said.
"Oh thanks, you make me feel so welcome." Lorelai replied.
"You know what I mean." Luke said.
"Coffee." Lorelai said. Luke went to go get some coffee. "Oh, and a muffin Luke, yeah mmm blueberry." Luke comes back with the food and Lorelai continues. "Jackie woke up, at 8:30 I might add screaming that she was hungry. She didn't want Cheerios so I found your pancake mix…"
"No, you didn't." Luke said with a sigh. "Is everyone alright?"
"See daddy you were right." Corey said. "Oops!" He shouted and covered his hand over his mouth.
"It's ok. Everyone's fine. Except maybe the kitchen, on account of your screwed up mixer." Lorelai said.
"You used my mixer!" Luke said.
"Anyway so basically now we're here." Lorelai said. "You know guys, school starts tomorrow do you want to go shopping for new clothes?"
"No!" Corey said remembering Luke's advice.
"No!" Jackie said because she basically loved repeating her older brother.
"You've never been shopping with me. I make it fun." Lorelai says trying to think of ways to make it fun off the top of her head. "Luke, help me out here."
"Don't look at me." He said.
"Come on, you can't say you don't like shopping before you do it! Let's go." Lorelai said trying to take charge, something she never had to do with agreeable Rory.
"Okay," the kids replied.
Lorelai put Jackie into the stroller, as they got out of the car. They walked into the store. "This way!" Corey said pointing towards the sports tee shirts to the right.
"No!" Jackie screamed. These tee shirts obviously didn't amuse her, frankly at age 3 Lorelai overestimated he interest in clothes at all.
"Oh no…" Lorelai thought. "I guess this wasn't such a good idea…" Lorelai pulls out her cup of coffee and tried to think what to do. She pulled out a lollipop and gave it to Jackie. "There we go, one kid down and one to go." She thought. "Corey, go pick out a few shirts and a few shorts. Be quick we'll go shopping again without your sister."
"Fine." Corey said as he put a baseball and soccer shirt in her arms. Lorelai grabbed a few basic colored, and striped shirts, and some matching shorts and skorts for Jackie. Corey added a few shorts to the collection and Lorelai declared that they were done for the day.
