"Are you guys ready for bed? You have to get a good night sleep for school tomorrow?" Luke asked.

"Almost" Corey replied. Jackie was already lying in her bed. Lorelai was reading her a story. "All done." Corey told Luke and got in his bed. Luke tucked him in and went to read his book.

Lorelai finished the story and Jackie fell asleep. She stopped in to Corey's room next. "Hey Cor, how are you doing?"

"Ok, I guess." He replied his voice was lacking his usual confidence.

"Are you nervous about school?" Lorelai asked. Corey nodded. "It's ok, I know your teacher she is really nice. Kindergarten is fun lots of story time, drawing and blocks." Lorelai said.

"They have blocks?" Corey asked excitedly.

"Yeah lots of them and nice kids who will build with you. You are a great kid, don't worry you'll make lots of friends." Lorelai said. She gave him a kiss and turned off the light.

She walked in to her bedroom to find Luke already getting in his pajamas (well, boxers). "Luke it's 9:30!" She said.

"I know but I get up early. There is nothing on TV, anyway." Luke said defending himself.

"Ok, suit yourself but I've got to stay up. Rory's on a date tonight, I want to see how it turned out." Lorelai said. "I think I'm going to go downstairs and put in a movie. See you in the morning." Lorelai kissed him good night, too.

"Good night, Lor. Love you." Luke said.

Lorelai made herself a bowl of popcorn, poured some chocolate syrup and whipped cream on it (a concotion Rory and She discovered atleast 10 years ago). She put in the movie. About 35 minutes into it she fell asleep. At 12:46, Lorelai awakes to the phone. Lorelai half asleep, but also so excited to hear from Rory she picked up the phone.

"Hey mom." Rory said.

"Hey." Groaned Lorelai.

"Mom, do you want me to call back in the morning?" Rory asked.

"It's alright honey, so how was your night? Was he all you thought he was?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah. We went to dinner, caught a movie, nothing out of the usual. He's so sweet. I kind of invited him to meet you guys, on Friday for dinner. Is that alright? I know, I just met him, but you know I want your opinion." Rory said by now she figured out that her mom had pretty good taste and her advice was usually worthwhile.

"Of course. I'll tell Luke tomorrow. I can't wait to see you. And him. Should I try and get the kids to stay at a friends or you want him to meet the whole team." Lorelai asked.

"Well he's the oldest of 4, I think he can handle it. Anyway I can tell you're exhausted and you have a big day tomorrow. Tell Luke and the kids I said hi. Good night mom." Rory said.

"Good night, Rory." Lorelai said and then let out a hug yawn.

Lorelai turned off the television and went upstairs. She climbed into bed. And Luke whispered to her, "Did everything go ok?"

"Yeah. She sounds perfect, really happy. She's going to come to dinner Friday. She's bringing Matthew. Can you cook something?" Lorelai asked.

"Sure thing. Let's talk in the morning." Luke said.

"Okay" Lorelai said, but Luke was already asleep.
