Chapter 7: Once Upon A Full Moon, there was Butch
"Lucas, Where is Rory?" The elder lady asked as she walked up to the pair.
"She stayed home tonight, but I know she will want to come after she hears we came tonight." Luke smiled giving the lady a kiss on the cheek.
"Lorelai, this is Maisey. Maisey, this is Lorelai."
"Nice to meet ya darling!" She smiled.
"Nice to meet you too." Lorelai smiled.
"Right this way." Luke showed her the way to the table that was already reserved.
"Ooh. You had this all planned out didn't you?" Lorelai asked.
" A little." He smiled.
"You know Lorelai, Lucas has never brought one of his girls here." Maisey smiled.
"Ah Jeez." Luke looked down embarrassed.
"Now that I mention, Lucas, you haven't had a girl since… well… I don't even remember. The only girl he has in his life is Rory." Maisey told her.
Lorelai smiled at him.
"Maisey! Leave Lucas alone!" A man from the kitchen yelled. Maisey nodded and walked away.
"She's sweet."
"More like embarrassing." Luke told her.
"So tell me about your parents." Lorelai told him.
"My Mom died a long time ago, when me and Liz were little kids." Luke told her. Lorelai nodded.
"Yeah, I remember Liz telling me."
"My dad is great, he's always been supportive of everything Me, and Liz do. When Liz got pregnant, when I got Rory. He's just great."
"He sounds great." Lorelai smiled.
"What about your parents?" Luke asked.
"My Dad is kind of a go with the flow type man. He works A LOT. My mom on the other hand, Is more authorative. We didn't see eye to eye when I was a young teen, but there was this time in my life where she just, was there for me. So, after that we grew so much closer. Now she is like my best friend." Lorelai told him..
"It must be nice." Luke told her.
"It is." Lorelai nodded.
"So tell me more about Rory. I spent some time with her before. She is really smart."
"Yeah she is. We thought about moving her up a grade, but she would not consider leaving Jess and Lane."
"Lane?"
"Lane is one of her very bestest friends." Luke quoted Rory.
"That would have been so perfect if you said it in a girly voice." Lorelai laughed.
"So what's your story? Why the big move to Stars Hollow?" Luke asked.
Lorelai sighed. "I just needed to get away from the big city." Lorelai told him.
"I'm glad you did." Luke nodded.
"You know. I've actually met you before" Lorelai smiled
"Really?" Luke asked.
"Yeah. About five or six years ago."
"I do not remember." Luke laughed.
"Well I do. It was a town event that I went to with Sookie. Would you like me to tell you the story, Butch?" Lorelai laughed.
"Ah Jeez." Luke blushed. "You sure did meet me."
"So I came to this incredibly charming town, and it was beautiful. The snow on the ground, and the lights hung were amazing. So sookie took me around meeting all of her friends, and they had this DJ or something so Sookie and I were standing around, and someone asked her to Dance. He was cute so I told her to go for it. Then, a guy in flannel and a baseball hat came up and told me that the town was stupid, and he had no idea why they wasted so much money on a dumb event."
"Sounds like something I would say." He smiled.
"Then I turned to him and told him that he was a big ole' Scrooge. He smirked at me and asked me to dance. Now, usually I would never dance with a Scrooge. I love Christmas, but this guy. He was Gorgeous. So, Of course, I danced with him. He could waltz like no other."
"God-given talent" Luke smirked.
Lorelai nodded. "Later that week, Sookie came to my apartment with pictures from the evening, and of course there I was with the incredibly hott man dancing closely together under the full moon and stars."
"Sounds great." He smiled.
"Do you remember?" Lorelai asked.
"I do now. You had longer hair, and I belive it was a lot darker."
"Yes." Lorelai nodded thinking back to the picture.

It was a pretty warm summer day when Lorelai walked into her house. She knew it wasn't her weekend to be home, but she needed to be back. She only came every other weekend, and though she would love to come every weekend her father felt it was best for her to stay at school to study.
" Mom! Dad!" She yelled into the house as she dropped her bags on the ground. She walked quietly into her fathers study. She knocked on the door, but when she didn't hear a reply she opened the door anyway,
" Daddy?" She called in. She walked quietly to his desk where he was sitting at, but his chair was facing to window. She walked around the desk and stood in front of the chair and looked at her father. She smiled when she saw her father sleeping. She shook her head and debated whether to wake him or not.
" Lorelai?" She head call from the door. Lorelai jumped a foot in the air since she was startled by the sudden call.
" Lorelai? What are you doing home this weekend?" Emily asked from the doorway.
" Surprise?" Lorelai smiled. Emily just shook her head.
" Come here. Let's not wake him. He has been working non-stop without any sleep for days" Emily said as she ushered Lorelai out the door.
" So how are you mom?" Lorelai asked as they sat down on the couch,
" Stressed! You're father is afraid that the company is going to fire him, since Charles and Kevin have been having secret meetings without him." Emily sighed while getting up to make her and Lorelai a drink.
" They could be gay." Lorelai giggled. Emily looked at her daughter with a shocked expression and then she smiled.
" I bet your right. You know I heard that Leslie, Kevin's wife is getting it on with the gardener. Maybe she has corrupted his mind." Emily laughed.
Lorelai looked at her mom surprised that she had gone along with her little jokes.
" I heard that sleeping with the gardener is in these days." Lorelai laughed. Emily handed her a drink and they began to talk about school.
" Oh Mom! I almost forgot. We took some pictures during Spring Break. I forget to show them to you." Lorelai smiled. Lorelai ran to her bag and pulled out a packet of pictures and handed them to Emily.
" That's me and my friend Jen at the docks." Lorelai pointed to a picture. "This is my best friend Sookie and I." Lorelai pointed to a picture of Lorelai sitting on a stool in front of a counter holding a mug of coffee and Sookie posing with a coffee pot.
" What's a Sookie?" Emily asked laughing.
" She's a Sookie. Her name is Sookie." Lorelai explained. Emily turned to the next picture that showed Lorelai, Sookie, and a bunch of other people.
" What's this?" Emily asked.
" Oh this is my favorite picture!" Lorelai smiled. "This is Sookie's hometown. She took me for this big festival! It was so cool mom. I mean there was a big fire! It was called the Firelight Festival. It was nice." Lorelai smiled.
" Who are these people?" Sookie asked.
" Oh. They are from town. I don't know a lot of their names." Lorelai frowned. " But I do know this is Kirk." Lorelai smiled.
" And who is this handsome young man next to you?" Emily asked because there was a man who was next to Lorelai and had one hand on her shoulder.
" Oh... Well I don't know his real name, but they were calling him Butch." Lorelai giggled.
" Butch?" Emily asked trying to hold back a laughed.
" Yep." Lorelai nodded. Emily flipped to the next one and her breath was taken away.
" What's this?" Emily asked.
" I am so sorry mom. I..." Lorelai shook her head. She didn't know what to say. " I had taken them to show Sookie."
" You told Sookie?" Emily asked
" Not yet. But I was going to." Lorelai looked down.
" How did you get these picture Lorelai?" Emily asked, while flipping through some of them.
" These two were taken at the hospital, and these Margie sent me." Lorelai sighed.
Emily shook her head and got up from the couch and walked toward the stairs. But stopped and looked back at Lorelai who was staring at the pictures.
" She's beautiful. She looks like you did when you were a baby." And with that Emily walked up the stairs to her room.
Lorelai sat there staring at the four pictures. One of them was Rory's Birth picture, the other was of her and Lorelai and Rory in the hospital. Lorelai had a huge smile on her face. The next two were taken on each of Rory's birthdays. Lorelai smiled and put them back in her bag.

"Lorelai" Luke waved his hand in front of her face.
"Sorry, spaced out." Lorelai smiled.
"I figured." Luke smiled. "Come on, let's get out of here." He said grabbing her hand and leading her out of the Restaraunt.
"Where to now?" Lorelai asked.
"We could see a movie, but I'd have to call the Babbette and let her know we're going to be late, or we can just drive around."
Lorelai thought about it a moment. "How about this, we go pick up Rory and all go to the movies?"
"You sure?" Luke asked.
"Yeah!" Lorelai nodded enthusiastically.
"Okay." Luke agreed.
Lorelai's phone began to ring as she got in the truck.
"Hey Mom. Good. Really good." Lorelai giggled. "Okay Mom. Yes Yes. I know. I will ask him. Bye mother!" Lorelai hung up.
"My mom has invited you and Rory for dinner sometime soon."
"Well, we may just have to take her up on that." Luke smiled.
Lorelai nodded.
After the movie was over, Luke took the girls out for ice cream. Rory was walking in front of them, with Lorelai and Luke in back hand in hand.
"So Lorelai, are you staying longer in Stars Hallow?" Rory asked as she turned around to start walking backward.
Lorelai turned to look Luke in the eyes and smiled. "I think I am." Rory grinned.
"Good." Rory turned back around. Luke smiled back at Lorelai and kissed her on the lips.
"Ready to head home munchkin'?" Luke asked.
"Aw, can't Lorelai come spend the night?" Rory begged.
"You know sweetie, I'd love to, but I have to wake up really early to go help my dad out in his office, but how about this. Next week you can come spend the night with me at the Inn." Lorelai countered.
"Can I dad?" Rory asked.
"It's alright by me, but I guess I will be all alone."
"I would let you come, but it's a girls night only." Lorelai grinned.
"Yeah Girl's only. Jess can go stay with you dad." Rory smirked.
