"Oh yeah, of course you are."
He smiles
"Then I guess I can go eat my snack now" he says, smiling
"Great, let's go."
"I'm sorry to barge in like this. I hope Lorelai isn' mad" Rachel says
"It's fine. Don't worry about it. If jake wants to, he can get in the pool"
"He can't unless I take him in. He can't swim yet."
"Well, if you want to you can get in too and if you dont have a swim suit I can ask Lorelai fi she would mind if you borrowed one of hers"
"Luke that may be a bit weird."
"Yeah I guess it would be"
"Really, its okay. We don't have to go swimming right now. He just wanted to come over and say hi to you."
"Dada, pool." He says, and points to the water.
Luke smiles and walks over to Lorelai
"Hey would you mind if Rachel borrowed one of your swim suits and stayed for a while?"
"Why does she have to wear one of my bathing suits?"
"Because Jake saw the pool and wants to go in."
"And you can't take him in because?" She asks in a duh tone.
"Your right. I'll get in with him" he says and walks back to Rachel
"I can take him in the pool if you wnat me to" he offers
"Oh that would be great Luke, thanks. I really don't feel like going in." She says with a smile. They both laugh and he tells her no problem.
"Jakey, do you want daddy to take you in the pool?"
"Pool!" He cheers.
Luke laughs and takes him to put on the extra pair of floaties they have and then takes him in the pool.
"Daddy who is that?' Kelsey asks, referring to Jake
"This is Jake, your brother" He adds
"No, its not. Thats not my brother."
"Yes, it is kiddo"
"No, its not daddy, mommy only had a girl, not a boy."
Luke sighs
"He doesn't have the same mommy. Your mommy isn't his mommy just like I'm not Madison's daddy"
"You cheated on mommy again!?"
"What?!" Katrina says and turns around
"No, you guys Jake is from the only time I cheated on mommy. I just found out that he is my son"
"Oh, okay." Kelsey says, and then goes and swims on her own. Katrina swims over to her dad and Jake.
"Well he's really cute. Hi Jake, I'm Katrina."
"Hi." He says shyly, with a cute smile.
"I'm Katrina, your sister." She says in a welcomed tone
Luke smiles at his eldest daughter for being nice
Just then Colin ran and jumped in the pool a splashed Jake
Jake began to cry
"ouch" He says
"Haha" Colin mocks
Lorelai was running over, but stopped when he jumped in. She tried to catch him
Lorelai jumps into the pool and grabs Colin. "Don't you ever do that again! You don't splash the little boy in the eyes! And you don't jump in the pool with no flotties on!" Lorelai scolds him as she carries him from the pool.
"I want to swim with MY daddy! Your a mean mommy" he yells really loud that everyone hears
"Do not speak to me like that. You are coming inside and are going to stay in your room for the rest of the day." She drags Colin inside and upstairs to his room.
Lorelai throws something over her swimsuit and goes back outside to sit on the lounge chair and watches Luke in the pool with his son
Brendan comes walking over to Lorelai, breaking her from her trance. "Mom, could I walk next door to Ben's house?"
"To do what?" She questions.
"He just called and invited me over to go swimming."
"Is he still on the phone?"
"Yeah." He nods.
"I don't mind if you go over, but let me talk to his mom first before you walk over okay?"
"Kay." He gets Ben's mom on the phone, she says its fine that Brendan comes over, he's always a pleasure. Lorelai smiles and says thank you.
"All right, just be careful walking down the road. Stay to the side okay?" (its not a busy road, its like a dead end)
"Yup, thanks mom." He gives her a hug, grabs his towel and goes over to Ben's. Lorelai goes back to staring at Luke and Jake until Rachel walks over to her and sits down on the other lounge chair. "Hey."
"Hey." Lorelai says, still staring at them.
"I'm sorry I sprung this news on your family like this. I just thought it would be important for Luke to know him and I want you to know I won't take Luke from you. You two are perfect"
She smiles in appreciation. "Thanks Rachel, that means a lot."
"You're welcome." She says and stares out into the pool after it gets silent
"If you wanted to talk to me, don't expect me to start the small talk. Because I don't have to, I have every right not to talk to you." She says matter of fact.
Rachel nods, knowing it wasn't going to be easy talking to her.
"I think I'll just go sit under the tree and read a book I brought" She says and gets up and starts to walk away
"No, Rachel wait, I'm sorry that was rude of me."
"Yeah?" she asks and turns around
"Thought you didn't want small talk?"
"That's not what I said."
"We don't have to be friends you know. We don't even have to talk if thats what you long as my son sees his father"
"I'd like us to be friends, but it's going to take some time."
"I'd like that too" She admits
"Can I sit back down?"she asks
"Sure."
"So how old is you and Lukes baby?" She asks
"Six months."
"And you guys had a girl?"
Lorelai nods
"Whats her name?"
"Madison."
"That's a pretty name" She says and then its silent
"Yup..."
"Mommy tome in" Jake yells to Rachel
"Wow, he talks really well for two years old."
"Some words he can say better than others, but overall he talks very well"
"Honey, mommy can't come in. I dont have a swimsuit like you and daddy"
"Tay."
"He's adorable Rachel."
"Thanks" she says sincerely
"He's my life"
"Yeah well, he seems like a sweet kid."
"He really is"
"I'm sorry about Colin's little out burst before."
"Oh no that's not a problem" she says sweetly
"Yeah well, usually he's more under control than that. He isn't normally that mean."
"Lorelai, you don't have to apologize. I know you and Luke are good parents and your children wouldn't behave that way"
She smiles. "Thanks Rachel."
"Not a problem" she says and then it goes silent again
"So, what's new?"
"Um nothing really. I don't really have time for new. I'm sure you understand that" She says
She laughs. "Oh definitely. Its a nut house around here."
"You definitely have a house full. I could never have six kids"
Lorelai laughs
Just then Brendan comes up behind Rachel and Kelsey behind Lorelai and pushed them off the chair and into the pool.
