First I'd like to say I'm sorry for any errors in spelling or grammar, I didn't have a beta for this chapter. I did re-check it but may not have fixed all errors, I'm only human.
Ch19 – Scones and Songs
Lorelai cuddled up to Luke as he sat back down on the couch to watch the movie. Lorelai seemed distracted not even complaining about Luke breaking all the movie night rules. This did not go unnoticed by Luke.
"They'll be ready in a few minutes, just watch the movie," he said rubbing Lorelai's leg as she looked towards the kitchen.
"Is the oven-timer even working? I don't use it so I have no idea. Should we turn the TV down a little in case we miss it?" Lorelai asked desperately.
"I used it last week for the apple pie's I made you and Rory, it worked just fine then," Luke reminded her.
There was a short pause as Lorelai looked at Johnny Deep unlocked the door to introduce the children to the chocolate factory, then looking back to the kitchen, "But I want them now," Lorelai pretended to pout.
"All good things come to those who wait," Luke said kissing Lorelai on the lips as she turned to him.
"But we could eating the scones now if you had let me just buy them from Weston's," Lorelai said looking at Luke.
"Half the fun of having good scones is in the baking, trust me they will taste a lot better than the store bought ones," Luke reminded Lorelai.
"But I like the store bought ones," Lorelai said.
"And when was the last time you made scones?" Luke said looking at Lorelai.
"Luke you used the mixture that my parents gave me over four years ago," Lorelai said dryly.
"Yeah I knew it was a dumb question," Luke said, "but it kept well," he added as they watched the movie some more.
After a short while Lorelai spoke again, "You know my love for Johnny Deep."
"Well sure, 21 Jump Street," Luke added.
"Yes but even with that long history I still think the original Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder is a much better movie. Why is it Hollywood insists on taking a classic like Willy Wonka and make this," Lorelai rambled.
"Is this going to be a long rant?" Luke asked in a mocking tone.
"Well I wouldn't be ranting if I had some scones," Lorelai said with a grin.
"Lets see what I can do to distract you from your hunger then," Luke said drawing Lorelai closer for a kiss.
As they started making out on the couch like a couple of teenagers Lorelai pushed Luke back, on to the couch. Lorelai reached for the remote to turn off the movie, "Not in front of Johnny." She said.
----
A short time later Luke and Lorelai were in the kitchen.
"Okay next time we bake make sure the oven is off before you distracted me with sex," Lorelai said tossing the few scones in the trash that she wouldn't even eat.
"I'll try but I wasn't alone, you had me wrapped around your little fingers or more accurately you had you fingers wrapped around me," Luke with a smirk.
"Yeah, we both know half the town could have come through the front door before we'd stop." Lorelai said.
"Well then you can clean next time," Luke said dryly.
"Sure what ever you say sweetie," Lorelai said biting in to anther scone that survived the oven.
"I mean it, no sex before we check on the scones," Luke said.
"But that goes against my number one rule," Lorelai reminded him.
"Your number one rule?" Luke asked.
"To always put sex with you before all else, friends, food, sleep," Lorelai listed.
"Coffee?" Luke added.
"It's a close call but yes even that, unless it's been a very bad day," Lorelai said with a smile.
"Sorry to hear that, I know how much you love coffee," Luke said with a sympathetic look.
"You're all I need baby, sex with you is like a spiritual experience that no cappuccino can match," Lorelai added with glee.
"Well of course. I did hear you call out 'cap' a couple of times while on the couch, I was confused at first since I wasn't wearing my blue cap tonight," Luke said dryly, "Now you're feed and I'm off to bed…"
"You rhymed, you're Doctor Seuss" Lorelai said cutting in.
Luke chose to ignore Lorelai's comment, "…I need to help Caesar open the diner tomorrow," he added kissing Lorelai on the forehead.
"Wait!" Lorelai said reaching for Luke's arm.
"Lorelai I'm not 18 anymore, I need my rest," Luke said staying with-in arms reach.
"No not that… I need to ask you something," Lorelai said as she pulled Luke to sit back down. "This Saturday…"
"No!" Luke said knowing what was coming next he stood up.
"But it will be fun," Lorelai protested.
"Lorelai you know I love you but there is no way I'm getting up on that stage in front of half the town," Luke said starting to leave the room.
"I'll put on my black cocktail dress, the short one that Taylor tried to ban me from wearing in public," Lorelai said.
"Not gonna happen," Luke said leaving the room.
Lorelai got up to follow, "I'll throw in the black stilettos," she added watching Luke go. "The hair flip, what about the hair flip?" Lorelai asked.
"Good night," Luke said disappearing up the last of the stairs.
Lorelai pouted as she went back to the kitchen.
------
The following day Lorelai joined Rory for lunch at the diner to help cheer her up.
"Mark Twain!" Rory said.
"Lorelai was confused, "Hmm?"
"Well Mark Twain had to work as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi before he became a successful writer. And if he'd never had that experience, he never would have written Huckleberry Finn," Rory explained.
"Which is one of your favorite books," Lorelai noted.
"Remember when I made you have my 12th birthday at the mark twain museum in Hartford?" Rory added.
"I thought one day I was gonna find you on a raft made out of empty milk cartons, sailing down the Housatonic river," Lorelai joked.
Just then they were interrupted by Rory's cell phone ringing, "It's Logan," Rory said leaving to go outside so not to break Luke's rules about cell phone.
Moments later Luke came over giving Lorelai a quick peck on the lips before sitting on a nearby stool.
"Is Rory feeling any better?" Luke asked with concern.
"She will be, Rory's used to getting what she wants," Lorelai said sounding a little down.
"Just like her mother," Luke joked.
"You know us too well," Lorelai said with a short pause, "So tonight…"
"I'll see you at home by eleven," Luke said getting up and going back to work.

Later that night Luke was cleaning up the empty diner after Zach had left but he couldn't stop thinking about the boat trip with his daughter that had now been canceled. He hadn't been able to tell Lorelai, as he didn't want to disturb her precious time with Rory cheering her up on their shopping trip.
Luke also wondered if Lorelai was wearing the little black dress, the one she had bought and modeled for him in the department store while conveniently forgetting to wear any panties under her jeans that day.
With these thoughts on his mind it wasn't long before Luke locked up the diner and made his way to the bar across the town square to the bar. Pausing out side he heard Kirk singing before the crowd cheered and a familiar voice come over the speakers.
Luke listened for a few moments as Lorelai began singing, the last time he remembered seeing Lorelai do a public performance was at Miss Pattys 1999 Halloween party, only a few years after then met. She had dressed as Wonder Woman and got up on a table to sing the shows theme before he had helped Lorelai home that night. And for months after Luke mocked her for the song and how she tried to get Luke to stay the night. Knowing it was the Founders day punch talking Luke declined the offer, leaving Rory to put her mother to bed.
Luke finally stepped into the bar as Lorelai began the second verse, their eyes locked for a moment as Luke sat at the bar. Luke along with the rest of the room noticing the change in tone, Lorelai sounded happy or more so as she began singing to Luke. Holding back the thirteen shades of red Luke stayed put as he felt the locals looking at him.
It wasn't long before the song was over but it felt like hours, Lorelai giving Luke one final look before disappearing off the back of the stage, Luke waited until he thought no one was looking before joining he.
"Lorelai!" Luke whispered, trying not to get the attention of the townies.
"Over here," Lorelai called coming out of the bathroom.
"Are you okay?" he asked joining Lorelai in a quite corner at the end of the hallway.
"Yeah, just needed some water, hot lights," she replied.
"You look flushed, are you sure you're okay?" he asked brushing a few stray hairs from her face.
Lorelai knew she couldn't keep anything from Luke after all that had happened the last time she did that.
"Luke, I'm late," she said looking for a response from Luke.
"Late?" Luke asked needing more information.
"I've been eating apple's!" Lorelai said thinking Luke knew what that meant.
"Apple's are good for you," Luke said still not getting it.
"Especially if I'm eating for two," Lorelai said making herself clear.
Luke took a moment before realising, "Oh… you mean…"
"Yes, Luke Danes I'm having your baby!" she said with a smile.
"Are you sure?" Luke said with a mixed look of confusion but a smile creeping across his lips.
"Maybe, I just threw up in there," pointing to the bathroom, "I've been eating apple's all week and I missed my period," she said in a slight panic.
"Apple?" Luke asked.
"Yes when I had Rory it was the only fruit I could stand to eat for 9 months," Lorelai informed Luke.
Luke smile grew as he listened, "Do you know how crazy you sound right now," he said with a smirk.
"Nice thing to say to the woman possibly carrying your offspring!" Lorelai said as Luke wrapped her in his arms.
"Lorelai it's good news and I couldn't be happier but I think we need confirmation before we start looking for a good kindergarten and grade school," Luke said calming Lorelai down.
"Okay, you're right… Can we get out of here?" Lorelai asked looking up at Luke.
"What about Rory?" Luke asked.
"I'll call her," Lorelai said getting her cell phone out, not wanting to go back into the bar they left through the back door.
-----
"Jefferson?" Lorelai asked.
"After the third president?" Luke replied.
"No, he was a boy I knew when I was about ten," Lorelai informed Luke.
"Veto," Luke said.
"What's wrong with the name?" Lorelai asked.
"You're not naming our kid after a boyfriend!" Luke stated as Lorelai made a small wave with her foot.
"He was not a boyfriend, he was just a boy who was barely a friend, besides we don't even know if it's a he or she yet," Lorelai said looking down at Luke's hand on her soon to be growing belly.
"And I don't want to know until it comes out," Luke said.
"Not you too… Jackson didn't want to know what Davey was, I had to keep that secret from Rory for months," Lorelai told Luke.
"Speaking of Rory, are you're ready to tell her tonight?" Luke asked.
"I wanted to tell Rory last week but you said we should wait and have a special diner," Lorelai pointedly said.
"I just thought it was something that needed to be told to her in person and not over the phone, besides she had finals to think about," Luke said rubbing Lorelai's back as she moved forward in the tub.
"I guess that makes sense," Lorelai said quietly.
"Lorelai you could have told Rory if you wanted to, I hope you know that," Luke said sympathetically.
"I know… I guess I really wasn't ready and I wanted you to be there, we're in this together mister," Lorelai said turning to look at Luke.
Sharing a kiss for a moment before parting, "You know I'm feeling better today, no morning sickness," she hinted with a smile.
"I need to get dinner started," Luke said looking back.
"We can always order in," Lorelai continued moving Luke's hand to between her legs.
"I hate take out," Luke said distracted as his fingers brushed over her sensitive skin.
They continued to kiss, Luke arousal pressing into Lorelai's back before she started to turn, "We can't do this in here," Luke said, "remember the last time we tried."
"You broke the hand rail," Lorelai recalled.
"I told you it couldn't take my weight," Luke said as they explored each other.
Lorelai stopped, "Come here," she said taking his hand to get out of the tub.
"What are you doing?" Luke asked as Lorelai reached for her towel.
"Come here and find out," Lorelai said as she left the room drying her hair.
Luke scrambled out of the bath as quickly as he could without slipping and quickly dried off before going to the bedroom. Lorelai was now sitting on the edge of the bed, drying her hair.
"I thought since this is our first time since finding out about junior, that we should probably play it save and restrict our carnal activities to the bedroom for now," Lorelai said tossing the towel over the rail at the foot of the bed.
"Makes sense," Luke said as his towel joined Lorelai's.
Luke was at full attention as he stood before Lorelai, she stroked him while lifting her legs to wrap them around Luke and pull him close.
Luke held Lorelai as they slowly fell on to they bed and rolled them over so not to put added weight on Lorelai stomach.
"So is this how it will be for the next nine months?" she jokingly asked.
"What do you mean?" Luke replied.
"I'll be on top doing all the work," Lorelai added.
"You never do all the work," Luke joked back, "I just thought it might be better for the time being," he said rubbing Lorelai's stomach.
"Luke I'm not sick, yes we need to be careful but I read that sex is good for the baby, something about the exercise and adrenaline rush. Look I'll tell you if it's too much okay," Lorelai said bending down to kiss Luke on the lips.
"Alright," he said as their lips parted, "but I do like looking up at you," he said touching her hips, "I like the feeling as you press down on me. I like how your breasts move with each stroke as I push up. And I like how your hair falls down your body as you ride me to climax," he said pulling Lorelai down for another kiss.
Lorelai lifted her hips as Luke positioned himself for Lorelai to sit back down, taking him in for the first time in over a week Lorelai gasped.
"I like being on top too, I feel in control," she said lifting up, Luke watching as his length became exposed before she engulfed him again, "I like pressing my body on yours," Lorelai continued laying down on Luke he breasts pushing on Luke's chest, "I missed you," Lorelai said sitting back up.
"Lorelai I don't think I've loved you any more at this moment," he said as he reached for Lorelai's face.
Lorelai's hand met his on her cheek, "Well give me ten to fifteen minutes and I'll see if I can change that for you," Lorelai said with a cheeky grin as she started to move her hips again.
