Chapter1:
Lorelai and Luke have been friends for 8 years and are now in a really comfortable part off their friendship where they rely on each other and confide a lot of their secrets to each other. They haven't really admitted to themselves that they feelings for each other.
Lorelai has decided that she needs something new and exciting in her life other than the new inn, so this is the story from there.
Lorelai: hey Luke?
Luke: yeah, what now?
Lorelai: well aren't we in a charming mood.
Luke: ask your question or leave.
Lorelai: no its ok, ill sit here and ask you my question when you are in a better mood
Luke: Lorelai!
Lorelai: Luke, its fine this mood cant last forever, I mean I might die before it does, but its ok.
Luke: Lorelai, ask away
Lorelai: no Luke….
Luke: Lorelai!
Lorelai: well… can we have dinner tonight?
Luke: what do you need?
Lorelai: nothing…well something but I can't ask you here.
Luke: do you want to go upstairs?
Lorelai: no, dinner with me please
Luke: Lorelai last time you wanted to have dinner you needed money. If you need more just tell me and I will go write the cheque
Lorelai: ok well $100 000
Luke: well, I could do…
Lorelai: Luke, god no I was kidding, thanks though.
Luke: oh ok, then what can I do?
Lorelai: you can come out with me for dinner tonight
Luke: fine, but if something is wrong and its urgent you don't need to wait till tonight
Lorelai: no, its not urgent just important.
Luke: ok, so tonight?
Lorelai: yeah, ill pick you up here at 7
Luke: ok, see you then
Lorelai: can I have a coffee to go?
Luke: sure, but you know its going to kill you.
Lorelai: maybe dinners not such a good idea
Luke: huh, why?
Lorelai: never mind, see you tonight
Luke: bye crazy lady
Lorelai: bye, thanks
Later that night, Luke and Lorelai are dressed up nicely and Luke is waiting for Lorelai to arrive and pick him up.
Lorelai: hey, sorry I'm running a bit late.
Luke: its ok, you would have been just as late if I picked you up.
Lorelai: you know me to well
Luke: that I do, its scary sometimes
Lorelai: a good scary though, right?
Luke: right
Lorelai: ready?
Luke: as ready as I will ever be, since I know nothing about tonight other that you need to ask a favour of me.
Lorelai: all will be revealed soon
Luke: good
Lorelai drove them towards Hartford, she knew of a restaurant there that was peaceful and fancy. She thought it would be a perfect place to ask probably the most important question of her life thus far. They talked on the way there in their normal banter, Luke never enquiring about her reasons. He was a lot more patient that people gave him credit for.
Lorelai: Luke, thanks for coming here with me tonight
Luke: sure well I'm curious to see what you need to ask me that has nothing to do with money.
Lorelai: we'll we will take the evening slow and I'll ask eventually, at the right moment.
Luke: you need a moment
Lorelai: yeah, this is a special question.
Luke: ok then, well I can't wait
Lorelai: we're here
Luke: wow Lorelai this is a fancy place
Lorelai: important night remember
Luke: yeah, lets head in
Lorelai: yeah in we go…
Luke and Lorelai were shown to their table, it was a reserved table in the back, there were only 2 other tables near by, and neither were occupied at that moment but were reserved.
Luke: you reserved a private table?
Lorelai: yeah, important question remember
Luke: for the life of me I cannot think of what can be so important.
Lorelai: you'll see
Waitress: can I get you some wine mam? Sir?
Luke: Lorelai?
Lorelai: yeah, is red fine?
Luke: that's sounds good
Lorelai: ok then, 1 bottle of your best red wine.
Waitress: sure, I will be back in a few minutes
Lorelai: thank you
A few awkward silent moments while they looked at the menu passed by slowly.
Waitress: here you go. Can I interest you in a taste before I pour it?
Lorelai: its ok you can just pour thanks, unless you want to taste it Luke?
Luke: no, it should be fine.
Waitress: here you go, are you ready to order starters
Lorelai: can you give us a few more minutes please?
Waitress: sure
Lorelai: Luke?
Luke: yeah
Lorelai: can we pretend that there isn't this big question hanging over our heads and act normally.
Luke: that's fine with me, its just you have my mind wandering and well this is not a normal situation for us to be in anyway.
Lorelai: yeah, I guess
Luke: how did you find out about this restaurant?
Lorelai: my parents had mentioned it being a great place, so I thought well….
Luke: oh, you take advice from your parents
Lorelai: I'll never let them know that I tried here or they would want to compare notes.
Luke: that could be quite annoying
Lorelai: that is could
Luke: Lorelai, can I ask you something?
Lorelai: no
Luke: why?
Lorelai: cause I only get to ask the questions tonight
Luke: ok
Lorelai: you have to start figuring out when I am joking, it will help you later.
Luke: ok, well I was wondering if you…
Lorelai: oh my god
Luke: what?
Lorelai: my parents
Luke: where?
Lorelai: they are headed this way
Luke: oh well you will just have to compare notes now.
Lorelai: this is not funny
Emily: Lorelai?
Lorelai: hi mom, hi dad. This is Luke, Luke these are my parents Emily and Richard Gilmore.
Emily: we have met him before Lorelai.
Lorelai: when?
Emily: at Rory's sixteenth birthday party
Lorelai: oh yeah, sorry.
Emily: well Richard lets leave them to their date
Lorelai: we aren't on a date mom
Emily: oh Lorelai, the restaurant, wine and fancy clothes. All classic signs of a date, I'm not stupid
Luke: this isn't a date just a…. just a. Lorelai?
Lorelai: well it's more like a business meeting
Luke: business?
Emily: ok well, it appears to be a date
Lorelai: but it isn't, I brought Luke here to talk business
Richard: Emily lets gets back to our dinner plans.
Emily: ok, bye
Emily and Richard sat down at one of the reserved tables near by to where Luke and Lorelai were. They sat there for a while longer in silence, not sure how to talk to each other with the flapping ears of Emily Gilmore near by.
Luke: so business?
Lorelai: yeah, kinda. This feels weird now.
Luke: why cause your mom thinks we are on a date
Lorelai: no because I don't want them to hear what I have to ask you
Luke: you can whisper the question, or maybe they will have left by the time we order and eat and you feel up to telling why you have brought me here.
Lorelai: Luke can… never mind we can stay here.
Luke: we can go back to my diner, its closed so we can still have privacy.
Lorelai: no, I needed to do this away from stars hollow.
Luke: ok, well lets order then. Stop watching them Lorelai.
Lorelai: I can't help it
Luke and Lorelai eventually got around to eating and talked like they normally would. They had had dessert and talked and talked and talked. It was as if they had forgotten why they were there.
Luke: I don't know your parents, but I think they are going to sit there until we leave.
Lorelai: I was just thinking the same thing. Luke?
Luke: yeah
Lorelai: do you want to have kids some day?
Luke: yeah, well with the right person
Lorelai: good good
Luke: Lorelai?
Lorelai: yeah
Luke: why you ask that?
Lorelai: well, I was wondering if you would consider…
Luke: consider?
Lorelai: never mind i've changed my mind
Luke: jeez Lorelai, just ask me or I will tell your parents that we are dating and they will never stop harassing you
Lorelai: Luke… god this is harder than I thought, I had rehearsed this like a million times
Luke: so you should be able to ask, whatever it is I'm sure I can give it to you.
Lorelai: I know that you can give it to me, just whether you want to is the concern
Luke: you know I will do anything for you
Lorelai: well don't say that, cause I don't think that, well I don't know… God
Luke: hey do you want to go outside. You've liquored me up and charmed me all night so that bits done and if we are out there then they cant hear us.
Lorelai: Luke will you have a baby with me?
Luke: what?
