A/N: it has been too damn long since I updated, I just had a very hard time finishing this chapter and had a 8 days vacation in LA, then suffered from holiday blues. LA was a blast, not to mention, seeing Luke Danes's truck at WB studio :') but since this chapter is finally done, I will promise you guys my regular updates from now on. I just didn't know how to finish up the mess from the last chapter but I do have everything planned afterwards. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CONTINUE SUPPORT, hope you guys like this chapter more than I do.

Chapter 31: King of The Hill

2 Weeks Later

' How bout make up sex?' Jess suggested out of nowhere.

Luke's eyeballs were on the verge of popping out. He dropped his fork and almost choked on his orange juice. He looked at Jess with disapproving head shake, ' How bout you close your eyes and cover your ears during inappropriate scenes like I told you to a billion times?'

Jess raised his hands in defense, looked at Luke all innocently, ' I did! But my nose got this itchy feeling suddenly, so I had to rub it with my hand. Then I heard the word 'this is the best sex we ever had, we should fight more.'

Luke shook his head and sighed, ' I knew giving in and letting you stay up late was a bad idea.'

' So are you and Lorelai breaking up for real?' Jess took a sip of his orange juice.

' No we're not. We're just having a little argument.' Luke reassured, picking up the fork from the ground.

' It's been two weeks! Lorelai hasn't come in for coffee, for two weeks. And you've done nothing to get her back.' Jess exclaimed.

' It's a grown up relationship, you don't just sing a song, give her an apology card to solve things.'

' It is that easy.' Jess replied wide eyes. ' Just open your mouth and talk to her.'

Luke rolled his eyes then chuckled, ' Kid, I think all that therapy session has turned you into a little Dr. Phil.'

' Come on, Uncle Luke.' Jess patted Luke on his shoulder before heading down to the diner.

Luke sighed and looked at his all recovered nephew hopping down the stairs. He turned back and stared at the cloth on the table, he knew he needed to do something, he knew this was not the end. He knew he needed to mend things back.

Lorelai's house 7:30am

'That's it mom. We are going to Luke's for breakfast. I need my fluffy syrupy pancake.' Rory pouted. It's been 2 weeks since the mother and daughter had stepped foot into their beloved diner. Rory tried to be supportive of her mom, but it's been too long, she's losing her patience.

'No! You go!' Lorelai shouted from her upstairs bedroom, putting on her make up, ready to go to work.

Rory ran up, she stood in front of her mom's bedroom door, crossed her arms around her chest. She looked firmly into her mother's eyes. ' We. Are. Going. Together.'

'Uh, no missy. I am not going until I think Luke has done enough to make me forgive him.' Lorelai replied while looking herself in the mirror to make some last fits.

'Luke called, sent us cakes, donuts, pancakes, chilli fries all with a little card which you didn't even read and threw all of them!' Rory exclaimed.

'It's not that easy, Rory. Grown up relationships are not as easy as you think. You don't just send cards and say you're sorry.' Lorelai answered back and stroked Rory's hair before giving her a kiss on her forehead.

'Then tell me, what does Luke have to do?' Rory asked desperately, ' I really miss fluffly pancakes, and I miss Luke.'

'Aw, honey, just because Luke and I are fighting, doesn't mean you can't go to the diner yourself, hang out with Jess and chat with Luke.' Lorelai comforted the sad girl.

Rory mumbled, her big blue eyes slowly strolled down and focused on the floor., ' but it's not the same, it's not complete. It's not the four of us.'

Lorelai sighed, ' Rory…'

'Please mom?' Rory looked at Lorelai with her big puppy blue eyes.

Luke's Diner 8am

Rory successfully convinced Lorelai to have breakfast at Luke's. Luke was upstairs making some delivery calls, Jess was sitting at the counter, waiting for Ceasar to cook him up some strawberry pancakes. He turned his back when he heard the door bell. He couldn't believe who he saw.

'Lorelai! Rory!' Jess ran to them. Lorelai gave him a hug. Before Rory could even say something to Jess, Jess bolted up to the apartment.

Jess barged into the apartment and shut Luke's phone conversation with the bread guy.

'Jess!' Luke scolded, 'you do not shut people's call that way! It's disrespectful.'

'Screw that!' Jess exclaimed, 'Lorelai's here!'

'What?' Luke instantly closed his phonebook, trying to piece this all together.

Jess wasted no time, he took off Luke's blue baseball cap, threw it on the bed and grabbed some gel in the bathroom.

'What are you doing?' Luke frowned.

Jess explained, 'You have to look good going down there. Do a public apology, give her a memorable, lingering kiss.' He then opened Luke's closet and got Luke's blue dress shirt and trousers. 'Wear this' Jess said, handing the outfit to Luke.

'How the hell do you know the word 'lingering'?' Luke asked while Jess was putting on gel on Luke's hair. Surprisingly, Luke did not resist.

'I read books.' Jess shrugged his shoulders and replied simply.

'What book?' Luke continued asking, he then sighed, 'Never mind, I don't wanna know. That's too much gel, Jess. It's good enough.'

'Okay, fine.' Jess nodded, 'Go change.'

Luke proceeded to taking off his flannel shirt and into his nice sky blue dress shirt.

'Uncle Luke, can you sing?' Jess who already was scrolling over the CD section of Luke's.

Luke looked at Jess with wide eyes, he stated firmly, 'I am not singing.'

Jess turned back and looked at his Uncle with skeptical squinting eyes, 'Do you love her or not?'

'Yes, I love Lorelai, okay? But doesn't mean I need to sing. We just need to sit down and talk.' Luke explained.

Jess sighed, 'Okay. But if you are going to sing at one point, you should sing this.' Jess smirked and handed his uncle an old vinyl.

Luke looked over it and chuckled, 'How did you even know this song, you are too young to know this song.'

'Uncle Luke, you've got to stop asking me that question.' Jess rolled his eyes, 'Be quick before Lorelai changes her mind and leave for Westons'

Luke's diner

Luke walked down and saw Lorelai and Rory sitting at one of the table near the window. He hesitated a little, he just didn't really know what would be the appropriate thing to say to Lorelai. Sorry would probably be not enough.

Jess pushed Luke on the back, forcing Luke to be standing right in front of Lorelai and Rory.

Rory hopped off her seat once she saw Luke, she gave him a big hug. ' Luke!'

' Hey Rory.' Luke smiled and returned the little girl a hug, he realised how much he missed Lorelai and Rory.

Jess then pulled Rory out of the hug and led her to the counter forcefully.

' Stop pulling me! What are you doing?' Rory frowned at Jess.

Jess replied, ' Shhh... Just sit and watch.'

Luke took up the courage and sat opposite to Lorelai. Lorelai fidgeted a little, trying to look up from her coffee mug.

Luke took a deep breathe, ' If you want to break up, I totally understand.'

Lorelai immediately looked up from her coffee, ' What the hell did you just say?'

'If you want to break up, I...'

' Don't even try to finish that sentence.' Lorelai warned, ' I don't want to break up, Luke, this is not how you solve conflicts!'

Luke raised his hands up in the air, 'Well, I don't know what you want me to do. I've tried many things, sending you letters, calling you, leaving messages, sending flowers, everything. I am a man with a truck, a high school diploma and two arms to flip burgers. Do I look like I have a thousand creative ideas to make up to my girlfriend?'

Lorelai sighed, ' I don't know. Okay. I don't know. I just really wanted or thought you would ask me to..never mind, forget it. I forgive you now, just pour me more coffee, please.'

' What do you want me to ask you? Tell me. I'll never know what to do, unless you tell me what you really want me to do! I'm desperate Lorelai. I love you. You know I love you.' Luke looked Lorelai in the eyes and put his hand on Lorelai's right hand.

' If you really love me, you would know what to say.' Lorelai replied and left the diner with Rory.

Luke's apartment 7pm

' What does that even mean, ask what? Do what?' Luke complained while eating salad in front of the TV.

Jess plotted his head back on the couch, ' You asked me a million times! Can we just watch the game please?'

' it's the 8th inning and Dodgers down by 5. You don't need to watch it.' Luke turned off the TV.

Jess protested, trying to grab the remote from Luke. He dived on to Luke and accidentally crashed his salad bowl.

'Jess!' Luke shouted, looking at the lettuces, onions, carrots and sauce all over his shirt and jeans.

' You started it.' Jess pouted. ' Stop asking me what Lorelai said. You said it's grown up problems, I'm not a grown up, you're the grown up.'

Jess proceeded to reading his book, completely ignoring Luke and his current salad situation.

' Will you at least pass me the tissue box next to you?' Luke asked.

Jess passed the tissue box to his uncle, he sighed and put down his book. He knew he can't leave his Uncle alone in this situation. He was getting desperate.

'Uncle Luke, are you rich?' Jess asked out of nowhere while picking off veggies from Luke's shirt.

' Do I look like I'm rich? I have enough.'

' Well then forget it. You'll never get what Lorelai wants.'

' What do you mean?'

Before Jess can answer Luke back, the phone rang, Luke picked up the phone next to the couch.

' Hello, who's this?' Luke answered while still cleaning himself up.

'Hey Luke, this is Henry.'

' Hey, Henry. How's it going?'

Jess heard the name Henry and immediately looked up.

' I'm good, I'm good. Is Jess here? I need to talk to him about something.'

' Yup he's here, I'll hand the phone to him, hold on a second.'

Luke passed the phone to Jess.

' Hey Jess. Everything okay?'

' Yup everything's fine.'

'Hey, I have to make this short as I'm about to board on my flight to Texas. I just needed to tell you something.'

Jess started to get worried, ' Is something wrong?'

' No, no no. Nothing is wrong. I just wanted to tell you, I'm going to send down some documents with my lawyer next week to have you and Luke sign it.'

' What do I have to sign?'

' Oh it's nothing, it's just that Charles has 5% of shares over the Yankees and his properties and everything got transferred to me because of his situation and I don't really like baseball but I know you do so I'm giving it to you. Think of it as an early birthday present.'

' You're making me an owner of the New York Yankees?!' Jess stood up from the couch.

' Sort of. But you don't really get to use it or anything until you turn 18 so meanwhile Luke will have to cosign it for you.'

Jess was speechless.

' Hello? Jess?'

' This is not a joke?' Jess reconfirmed.

' No not a joke. I have to board now. In case I couldn't call you before your birthday, happy birthday Jess.'

' Thank you. Thank you for the present.'

Jess slowly put down the phone and sat back on the couch. Trying to process everything.

' What did Henry say to you? What Owner of the Yankees?'

' I am now one of the owners of the Yankees.' Jess looked up at Luke.

' What?!' Luke was shocked, his almost nine year old nephew is about to become richer than he will be in a million year.

Jess hopped off the couch and walked up to Luke who was still sitting down on the couch. Jess gave his uncle his signature cunning smile,

' Mr. Luke Danes, you may now kiss the bride.'

But at least I know what the next few chapters are going to be about :) Alberta is great but LA is so damn great.

Nancy, thank you for your review! I'm so happy for Jess and Luke but at the same time cursing myself for that luke and Lorelai argument. Argh, I tend to always get myself into a trap.
