Rory's Planetarium
"Where is it?" Luke said checking under discarded clothes in their bedroom."
"What you looking for?" Lorelai asked from the bathroom.
"My cap, last I saw it you were wearing it last night while riding me, then you lifted it off playing cow girl and tossing it across the room." He said animated waving his hands around.
"That was fun." She said coming to the doorway.
Luke looked up to see Lorelai. She was dressed in her short business suit skirt and jacket, looking all the part of a proper businesswoman apart from the blue cap atop her head.
"Very funny." Luke said walking up to Lorelai.
"I like this cap, that's why I bought it." She said as Luke took hold of her waist.
Luke kissed Lorelai on the lips, a quick peck. "You bought it for me." He reminded her. "And they mocked me about it several time."
"But that was school yard thing's like hitting a boy you like." She said.
"So I should have pulled your ponytail then?" Luke joked back.
"Might have got my attention sooner that way." She replied.
"Well I should have read the hand book better when I was a kid." Luke said leaning in and kissing Lorelai again.
They broke apart after a few minutes. "See kissing you while you're wearing my cap is still a little disturbing."
"How so?" She asked.
"I've worn it for years, it's like kissing myself in the mirror or something." He told her.
"That's a disturbing image." Lorelai said removed the cap. "Better now?" She asked.
"Much." Luke said resuming their impromptu make-out session.
Luke slipped his hand from the small of her back to her butt then thigh as Lorelai lifted her leg, the tight but short skirt restricting her movements.
"I'm going to be late." Luke said.
"I think they can handle the diner for a few hours without you." Lorelai said as she walked them over to the bed.
"Well I am the boss so I can't be fired." Luke said as he began removing Lorelai's jacket. "Have I told you how much I love this suit?"
Lorelai shook her head. "But I can tell, don't think I don't see you looking at my butt every time I leave the diner in this skirt." Lorelai said as she hiked up the skirt to straddle Luke who was now on his back lying across the bed. "I still remember the look on you face the first time you saw me in it. For a moment I thought I might have to give you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation." She said kissing Luke again.
"I couldn't serve customers at their tables for a good ten minutes after you left that morning." He said rolling Lorelai over to be on top now.
Luke started kissing down Lorelai's chest as her undid her white blouse, kissing around the cup of her black lacy bra before finding the zipper on her skirt. He slipped the skirt off her long legs sitting up to remove his flannel, kicking off his boots as he lowered his jeans. Lying down between Lorelai's parted legs Luke helped Lorelai out of her blouse as his hard length press against her wet panties.
Now in just their underwear they held each other close as they kissed, slowly rocking their hips together. Rolling over Lorelai was back on top, sitting up she took off here bra before pulling back Luke shorts as she got of the bed. Luke sat up to watch as she took off her panties. Lorelai climbed back on top of Luke, she held his length stroking it hard as she placed him at her opening.
Finding the blue cap on the bed still Lorelai snapped it up. "Giddy up Burger Boy!" She said riding Luke hard.
Luke held Lorelai's hips and smiled at the sight before him.

"Okay I have the socks, lets go." Luke said turning towards the checkout with his socks white with a red stripe as always.
"You need some new dress socks for the opening tomorrow." Lorelai said.
"I have socks." Luke said wanting to get out of the department story Lorelai had talked him in entering.
"I've seen your sock draw and I've bought all the dress socks in it." She said.
"My dress sock's are fine, I don't use them that much." Luke said trying to move them closer to the checkouts and out of the store.
"First you can never have enough socks, they will always fit you. Second you need new socks." She said picking a pair from the display. "Come on lets go."
Luke followed Lorelai amazed how she still had the ability to manipulate him into doing things but in the end he knew she was right. The good dress socks he had were the two pairs Lorelai had bought him years before they even dated.

"You're here." Rory said seeing Luke and Lorelai walking up to the gathering.
Luke in his suit, Lorelai in light blue wrap dress that moved with the morning breeze.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world." Lorelai said as she hugged her daughter.
Luke adjusting his jacket before Rory turned to him. "Luke, good to see you got her here on time."
"We left early just in case." Luke said as they hugged still a little awkward.
"I knew I could have had another coffee before we left." Lorelai said holding her dress down with a gust of wind blowing it up. "Little windy today, sure hope the banner doesn't blow down before I can get some shots." She said holding up her digital camera.
They all looked up at the 'Grand Opening' banner across the front of the new building. Just under the name 'Rory Gilmore Astronomy Building', to Rory's relief the sign was much smaller than she had seen on the mock up her grand parents had shown her. Lorelai took several pictures of Rory in the foreground with the building behind her.
"Lorelai, Rory why don't I take a picture of the two of you now." Luke offered.
"But then I get to take one of you and mom." Rory said. Luke nodded taking the camera from Lorelai.
Emily and Richard arrived and shared a friendly greeting. Richard shaking Luke's had. "Glad you could come my boy."
"It was my pleasure Sir." Luke said.
"Call me Richard." Richard said.
"Grandpa we were taking pictures." Rory said.
"Here let me take one of you with your grandparents Rory." Luke said. "Then many one with Lorelai."
Later they all stood off to the side of the gathering as the opening ceremony commenced. Rory reluctantly said a few words before cutting the ribbon at the main entry.
The gathering of people went inside to inspect the new building. Rory led them in showing them around even though Rory herself had only been through the building once.
"It's big." Luke said as he looked up.
"That's what she said." Lorelai whispered to Rory as they giggled together.
--
"Honey I'm home." Lorelai called from the entry way as she took off her jacket.
"We're in the kitchen." Luke relied as Lorelai entered.
"Something smells good." She said.
Luke was checking the oven as April was placing batter into a mini muffin tray.
"Dad is teaching me to make muffin's." April said looking up.
"She's a quick study unlike some." Luke said as he gave Lorelai a quick peck on the lips.
"I tried my best." Lorelai said going to the fridge for a bottle of water.
"You made a mess of the kitchen in my apartment. I'm still finding flour and Cinnamon in corners of the apartment." Luke said with candour.
"How did that happen?" An inquisitive April asked.
Luke and Lorelai froze for a second not sure what to say, there was no way they were telling a 13 year old other events that happened that night.
"I tripped." Lorelai said. "Luke had left his boots on the floor again."
April seemed to buy the story and went back to her task before handing Lorelai the spoon. "Here do you want to do the last couple?"
"I don't know if that's a good idea." Luke said.
"Hush you." Looking at Luke. "I think I can handle it." Lorelai said taking the spoon and finishing off the tray.
"Can I put it in the oven?" April asked.
"Here." Luke said as he handed April the oven mitts.
April put the tray in the oven closing the door. "Thanks dad." She said kissing him on the cheek. "I need to email my friend Jenny before dinner." April said going to Rory's room, which she was using while she stay with them.
"Are you okay?" Lorelai asked April. "You look a little flushed."
"Yeah, just tired." April replied. "I might have a nap before dinner."
"You sure you're okay kiddo?" Luke asked.
"Yes dad. Just tired." She said before closing the door.
Luke started cleaning the kitchen so he could start dinner. "Thanks Lorelai."
"For what?" Lorelai asked.
"For letting April use Rory's room, I know what it means to you." He said as he picked up the dirty dishes.
"I'll take that." Lorelai said snatching the mixing bowl from Luke. "Don't want to waste this.
Luke looked at Lorelai not surprised at her actions. "You'll ruin you dinner." He said.
"You know if April wasn't here I'd like to lick this over various parts of your body and take my time licking it off." She said it a whisper so April couldn't hear.
Luke smiled and tried to ignore Lorelai by changing the topic. "So how sick do you think April is?" He asked.
"Could just be a bug but we'll take it in turns to watch her if you like." Lorelai suggested as she licked the patter from the spoon.
They took it in turns to watch April, Luke making a quick meal for them and soup for April as Lorelai watched her.
Later that night Luke rushed up to their bedroom.
"Lorelai!" Luke said standing by their bed. "Lorelai wake up, its April."
"What is?" She asked half asleep.
"She's feeling worse." Luke said in a panic as he dressed.
Lorelai got out of bed and started to dress. "Is she still feeling hot?" Lorelai asked?
"And her stomach is hurting more." Luke told her.
"Maybe it's appendicitis?" Lorelai said.
"Sounds like it. We had a guest at the Inn once, a boy about April's age and it sounds the same. I don't know why I didn't see it before." Lorelai said slipping on her boots. "We'll take her to St. Joseph's to be checked."
A short time later they entered the emergency room, Luke carrying April and Lorelai leading the way.
"We have a sick kid here." Lorelai said coming to the counter.
"It might be her appendix." Luke added.
The nurse directed them to a gurney. Luke placed April on it as the doctor began to examine her.
"Is she going to be okay?" Luke asked in a panic. "I'm April's father." He added. "She was feeling sick, sore stomach and a fever but April said she was okay but it got worse in the last hour. Could it be her appendix?"
"That's possible." The doctor said as he continued to examine April. "We need to take her…"
"April." Luke jumped in.
"April. We need to take April for some tests." They started wheeling her through some doors. Luke attempted to follow. "Sir you need to stay here."
"But…" Luke said visibly shaken.
"We will take good care of April and let you know what is going on shortly." The doctor said as he left Luke standing there.
Lorelai took Luke's arm. "Come sit down Luke before you fall down, you don't look too good." Lorelai giggled. "Wow déjà vu." She said as they sat.
They sat in silence for a few moments. "Thanks for coming." Luke said.
Lorelai held Luke's arm and squeezed his hand. "Here, the nice nurse gave us these forms to filling." Lorelai said handing Luke the clipboard.
Luke looked at it a moment before she started filling it out. "I think they do this to distract us." She joked.
"I'm sorry I wasn't more help." Luke said.
"You were good Luke, kept you checking April, you did all you could do." She said holding Luke's arm tight again.
"But you where the one who suggested coming here." He said looking down at the floor. I didn't even think of appendicitis."
"Luke I wouldn't have either if it was not for the boy falling sick at the Inn last year." She said.
Luke looked at Lorelai's hand in his, lifting it up to kiss before placing it back on his leg.
"I need to call Anna." Luke said breaking the silence.
"Good Idea, need my cell phone?" Lorelai asked.
"No there's a pay phone over there. Besides you really shouldn't use them in Hospitals." Luke said kissing Lorelai before standing up. "I'll just be a few minutes."
Lorelai watched as Luke made the call, he had changed they had both changed. She knew Luke liked to be a strong guy, not showing his emotions but she knew he was in pain. Lorelai was relieved she was here to help but wished she could do more to take away the pain he was feeling.
Luke came back after the short call to Anna. "She's mad." He said.
"At you?" Lorelai asked.
Luke nodded.
"But you didn't make April sick." She said.
"No not for that, I told her you were here and we were back together, she really got mad." Luke said sitting down.
"Is she coming back?" Lorelai asked.
"No. I convinced her things are under control and she really couldn't do anything so she'll be back next week as planned. I also gave her the hospital details." Luke said leaning back in his chain. "I never heard Anna so mad at me before. I know we've had our differences over April but this was different."
"She'll get over it. I'm in your life and it's your life not hers she has no say in it." Lorelai said.
"What if she moves?" Luke said. "I mean April said her grandmother is not doing much better since the operation, she might decide to move to New Mexico."
"And we'll come to that if it happens." She said holding his hand once again. "April is thirteen years old, Anna can't keep her from you, you have rights as her father." Lorelai leaned in the rest her face on Luke's shoulder.
"Have I told you how good you are too me Lorelai." Luke said. "After all the crap I put us through you're still here."
"We bother messed up Luke. I guess that's what people in love do, they screw up sometimes and now we are making up for lost time." She said as the held each other. They parted and stood as the doctor came through the security doors.
TBC…
A/N so was it too quick and easy getting them back together?
