Chapter 8: Meeting the Parents

Lorelai walked into the Diner and took her seat at her stool.

"Hey." She smiled at Luke. He put down his rag that he had.

"Diner is empty." She noticed.

"Yeah. It's the morning lull." He smiled as he leaned in toward her.

"I like lull's" Lorelai giggled as she kissed him.

After a while Lorelai pulled away.

"My mom wants you and Rory over for Dinner on Friday. Can you make it?" Lorelai asked

"Yes Ma'am, but Rory won't be able to. It's Lane's birthday, and they have this big tradition of a sleepover and stuff." Luke told Lorelai.

"Oh okay. That's alright. Rory can meet my Mom some other time." Lorelai shrugged.

Luke nodded. "So, what should I wear to said dinner?" He asked nervously.

"Just a nice shirt and some jeans or something." Lorelai shrugged.

"So meeting the parents." Luke said.

Lorelai laughed. "Don't worry. I promise it won't be too bad."

"You should really come over for Dinner to my house one day. I can have a dinner with Liz, Jess, and my Dad."

"Sounds great." Lorelai smiled.

"How about tomorrow night?" Luke asked.

Lorelai thought about it for a second. "Actually, I am completely free. You are lucky." Lorelai grinned.

"You have no idea." Luke kissed her again.

"You don't think we're moving too fast do you?" Lorelai asked nervously.

"I think we're good." Luke told her.

"Okay. Good." Lorelai nodded. "Well, I have to go shopping for an apartment, so I will see you later." Lorelai said kissing him and walking out.

Luke watched her leave, with a big grin on his face.

The Next Night

Lorelai walked up the stairs to Luke's house. She began to tug at her dress. She was nervous. She really liked Luke, and she only hoped that his father liked her.

She finally rang the doorbell and Rory answered.

"Lorelai!" Rory grinned as she ran up to her and hugged her.

"Hey Ror!" Lorelai hugged her back.

"Come on this way." Rory led her to the kitchen where Luke, and William were arguing over something.

"This is normal." Rory giggled.

"Lorelai." Luke noticed Lorelai at the entrance to the kitchen. She smiled at him.

"Hey." She waved.

"Come here. Dad…" Luke said as he put his arm around Lorelai.

"This is Lorelai. Lorelai this is my Dad. William Danes." Luke introduced them.

Lorelai shook William's hand. "Nice to meet you Mr. Danes."

"Call me Will." He told her.

"Come on, let's go to the living Room. Liz and Jess should be here soon." Luke told the group as he led them to the living room.

"So Luke tells me you moved here from New York." William asked.

"Yes. It is a big change, but I really love it here." Lorelai nodded.

"It's a pretty great town, except for the nosey neighbors." William said, saying the last part a little louder, as he got up and closed the blinds.

"Damn Babbette and Patty." William muttered.

"What?" Lorelai asked.

"Lucas, here, had to buy a house right next to Babbette and she was on her porch with Patty watching us." William said.

"Uhm…" Lorelai looked toward Luke.

"Don't worry, they are completely harmless."

"For the most part." Rory giggled.

"LUKE!" Liz shrieked as she entered the house.

"Rory!" Jess yelled as he ran into the living room.

"Hey guys." William nodded

"Hey. Oh Hey Lorelai!" Liz said going up to her and hugging her.

"You already knew Lorelai? Why am I the only one who hadn't met her? You are in trouble Lucas." William told him sternly.

"Actually Dad, me and Lorelai go way back." Liz smiled. "Right Lore?"

"Oh god! That Nickname." Lorelai giggled.

"What?" Luke and William asked.

"See, we were in the teen mothers class together, and Jimmy and her boyfriend Chris would sometimes go, and Chris would ALWAYS call Lorelai, Lore. She hated it!" Liz told them.

"So you have tyke as well?" William asked.

"Actually… Uhm No." Lorelai shook her head.

Luke turned his attention to that. He remembered Liz talking to her about the class, but he didn't remember until now.

"What happened?" Jess asked. Rory and Jess had begun listening to the conversation.

"I was accepted to Harvard, and Yale, and I wasn't ready to be a Mom." Lorelai told them softly.

"Harvard!" Rory shrieked.

"Oh god, you got her started."

Rory got up and ran over to Lorelai and jumped in her lap.

"HOW WAS IT?"

"I chose Yale." Lorelai shrugged.

"YALE?" Rory said in disgust.

Lorelai laughed and nodded.

Dinner went the same, and no one brought up Lorelai's teen pregnancy again.

"So dinner went good." Lorelai smiled

"That it did." Luke grinned and kissed her. They were sitting out in front of the porch.

"I should go, but remember Dinner with my parents." Lorelai told him as she pulled away, but he kissed her again. "Tomorrow." She reminded him

"Okay." Luke nodded. Lorelai smiled and kissed him.

"I will pick you up here around 6:30." Lorelai told him.

"Sounds good." Luke kissed her.

"I should go." Lorelai told him.

"Okay." He watched her get into her car and drive off.

Dinner with the Gilmore's

Lorelai honked the horn of her car, as she pulled up to Luke's house. Sure, she was nervous, but she knew her parents would love them.

Luke came running out of the house and got into the car.

"And here, I thought you would go pick me up at the Door." Luke joked.

"I wouldn't flatter yourself THAT much." Lorelai teased and kissed him before pulling out of his driveway.

"So is there anything I should talk about with your parents?" Luke asked.

"No, the conversation usually just goes with the flow, but if you really want to impress my father just talk about the stock market or something." Lorelai shrugged.

"Alright, because that sounds like a fun talk." Luke said sarcastically.

"Yeah, well who said this was going to be fun?" Lorelai joked.

Luke had a scared look on his face.

"I'm just kidding babe, my parents are going to love you." Lorelai said as she pulled into their driveway.

"WOW." Luke commented as he looked up the house. "You grew up here?"

"Yes." Lorelai nodded.

"Ring the doorbell." Luke told her as they stood in front of the door. Lorelai rolled her eyes and rang it.

The maid answered. "Hello Miss Gilmore, your parents are waiting in the living room."

"You have a maid?" Luke whispered as he followed her to the living room.

"Mom, Dad." Lorelai smiled as she walked in. Emily stood up.

"Lorelai." She smiled. "And who is this young man?" Emily grinned.

"This is my boyfriend, Luke Danes." Emily shook his hand, so did Richard.

"Well sit down. Sit down." Richard told the couple.

"Luke. I've seen you before. I just can't think from where." Emily said thinking back.

"Emily, I know all the same people as you, and I do not recall every meeting him." Richard laughed.

"No, Richard. I promise you I've seen you before." Emily smiled.

"Mom, you probably remember him from the picture." Lorelai told her.

"Picture?" Richard asked.

"Oh yes! Lorelai went with Sookie to a town event a long time ago, and there is a picture of Luke and Lorelai."

"Well, that is a coincidence." Richard laughed.

"It's fate." Emily grinned.

Luke nodded smiling.

"So tell us Luke, what do you do?"

"I own a Diner in my town."

"With amazing Coffee." Lorelai added.

Emily rolled her eyes. "We've heard. We must stop by one day, Richard."

"Yeah, it's a great town."

"Do you have an antique shop?" Emily asked.

"We have a few. Rory's best friend, Lane, her mother owns one."

"Rory is your daughter?" Richard asked.

"Yes."

"Rory. That is such an interesting name." Emily commented.

"Well, it's a nickname that kind of stuck." Luke informed them

"I see. Well, Luke I hope you like Spaghetti, because that's what we're having."

"Sounds delicious, Mom." Lorelai said. Luke agreed.

"You know Mom, you should really come check out those Antique shops this week."

"I should." Emily agreed.

"And then you can meet Rory!" Lorelai told her.

"I have been wanting to meet her. Why couldn't she make it?" She asked.

"Her best friend's birthday was today, so they had a sleepover." Luke told her.

"Oh how fun!" Emily told her.

"Actually mom, do you remember Liz?" Lorelai asked.

"Liz. Liz." Emily said thinking back.

"I Do." Richard said jumping in. "Spunky girl that talked almost faster then you. Blonde hair." Richard laughed.

"Oh yes, how could I forget Liz." Emily laughed.

"Well that's Luke's younger sister." Lorelai told him.

"What a small world." Emily smiled.

"Yeah it sure is. I guess it was fate that we met." Luke commented.

"I Sure think so." Lorelai joked.

After Dinner, Emily walked them to the door.

"So Rory is spending the night with me on Monday, so how about Tuesday Morning you come on over to the Inn, and we can go Antique shopping, and then go eat Lunch at Luke's, And then I can take you all to see my new Apartment." Lorelai told her.

"Sounds. I will call you tomorrow for the directions." Emily said kissing Lorelai on the cheek. "And it was pleasure meeting you Luke." Emily said hugging him.

"You too." Luke smiled as the two exited.

"Was it as painful as you imagined?" Lorelai asked.

"Actually, No. Your parents are great." Luke smiled as they got into the car.

Lorelai pulled up to Luke's house.

"So, Rory's at Lanes?" Lorelai got an evil glint in her eyes.

Luke nodded. "She will be there until tomorrow afternoon." He smiled. "You would you like to get down for some coffee or something?" Luke asked.

"Or something." She nodded and also got out of the car with Luke.

"I will have you know, I have never brought home a girl to this house." Luke smiled as he unlocked the door.

"Well I must be special." Lorelai teased.

"You sure are." Luke kissed her as he closed the door behind them.
