Prologue
Lorelai Gilmore and Luke Danes have been best friends since they were 11, they started dating when they were 15 and by 18 Lorelai was pregnant with their first daughter, Lorelai but they call her Rory. They went to the same colleges and lived together, the next year Luke proposed and they were married on December 2nd. About 4 years later they gave birth to their oldest son Chris. Right after Chris came, Alex, Madison and Dan, they came on after another. They waited a few years later and Lorelai ended up pregnant with her first set of twins, Jackie and Jake.
Two years later they were blessed with another boy, Jeffrey, they call him Jeff. Luke and Lorelai hadn’t planned on having more kids after Jeff was born, they thought that 8 kids was more than enough, but Luke and Lorelai just couldn’t keep their hands off each other and three years later Lorelai gave birth to her youngest twin daughters, Melissa and Kylie.
They were their miracle twins because in the delivery room the doctors didn’t think Lorelai and Melissa would make it through the birth. Kylie was the one that was fine. That day gave everyone a scare. Luke was pacing back and forth like crazy, he couldn’t believe how close he came to losing his daughter and wife. In the end they were both healthy and 2 years later they gave birth to their little boy Thomas, or Tommy. Last but not least is little Justin, he was born just 3 years ago and it was after his birth that Lorelai and Luke looked at each other, smiled and said, “Are family is finally complete.”
Now, their house is right outside of Stars Hollow, the house has 10 bedrooms, a big living room, a regular size kitchen, 4 bathrooms, a basement that the kids use as a play room, and a big backyard. Lorelai’s parents bought this house for Luke and Lorelai as a wedding present. All the older kids have their own rooms. Jake and Jeff share a room and Jackie has her own room. Melissa and Kylie share a room and so do Tommy and Justin. Luke and Lorelai have a big master bedroom with a walk in closet and a full bathroom. Rory also has a room there but she is at Yale for most of the year. The extra room they use as a guest room.
Lorelai had gotten a job which had her working at Inn’s all across the country and one was even located in Italy. Usually when she had to go there they would make a family vacation out of it, but as years went on and the kids got older that got harder and more expensive to do. Now Lorelai is considering quitting that job and just staying put at her Dragonfly Inn. Luke still works and owns the diner, he also owns the apartment above it and the building next to it.

Chapter 1: Teenagers.
9:30 Pm at the Danes house on a Thursday night.
"Ugh, mom this isn’t fair! Why can’t I go out with him tonight?" 16 year old Alexandra screams from her room at her mother. Lorelai comes down the hall and into her room.
"Because its 9:30 on a school night and I don’t want you out driving by yourself or with anyone else this late at night."
"Mom come on, what do you think is going to happen. I’ll drink and get pregnant. I’m not you, I’m not that stupid!" Alex yells and doesn’t care that she hurt Lorelai, but Lorelai hides it well.
"You are not leaving this house, end of story." Lorelai says and slams her daughter’s door shut.
"Hey mom what’s going on?" 15 year old Madison says as she is walking out from the bathroom.
"Nothing sweetie, just go back to bed okay."
"Are you sure? Come on mom, we tell each other everything." She gives her mom the pout that she was taught.
Lorelai smiles and rolls her eyes. "Nice try kiddo. Not tonight okay."
"Okay fine, night mom."
"Night Maddy." Lorelai gives her a kiss on the cheek and watches as she walks back to her room.
Lorelai continues to walk past each of her children’s rooms. She looks in and smiles as she walks by each one. She looks back at Alex’s door, Alex is a lot like Lorelai, sometimes too much like her. She loves to party and drink and stay out late. She has a wild boyfriend, and Lorelai knows they are sleeping together because she caught them one day last week. Luke however does not know that because he would hunt the kid down and kill him. Tonight however, Luke was going to find out because Lorelai couldn’t take it anymore. She hates that her and Alex have such a bad relationship and she really needs Luke to lean on for help. She goes into their bedroom where Luke is reading a book, he puts it down once he sees her.
"Hey you." Lorelai says as she gets into bed.
"Hey, you okay?" He says and gives her a kiss.
"I have to tell you something and I’m not sure how you are going to react."
"Oh that sounds bad."
"No…well…yes..not bad for me more like bad for this person."
"Just tell me Lorelai."
"Alex is sleeping with her boyfriend." She braces herself for his reaction and for his rant.
"What! What do you mean they're sleeping together! She is 16 for god’s sakes, she shouldn’t be doing that kind of stuff...She could get pregnant, and then her whole life will be ruined."
"Was our whole life ruined Luke?"
"No….but you know what I mean…I mean she is 16, sure we did the same stuff but you got pregnant at 18 not 16."
"And if I had gotten pregnant at 16, would you still have stayed with me? Would we still live here with our 12 crazy kids?"
"Of course we would. I…she is my little girl, I don’t want her to grow up."
"I know you don’t Luke, but she is, and who are we to stop her from doing something that she wants to do. I mean all we can do is tell her what the right thing to do is and then she has to decide what to do."
"I hate that, I hate that she doesn’t need us to do that anymore. I remember when I had to help her with everything."
"Yeah….you helped her. I didn’t do anything, maybe that’s why she hates me."
"What? Lorelai….Alex doesn’t hate you, she is just being a teenager, mothers and daughters fight. It’s natural." He tells her and rubs her back in comfort.
“Yeah, you’re probably right.” She leans against his chest and sighs. “Wow, we haven’t done this in a long time.”
“Done what?”
“You know, just have alone time. The two of us with no kids around, laying in our bed cuddled together.”
“Yea well you were barely home last year.”
“I know, and I know its my fault that I was gone. I’m sorry Luke really, but this year is different. The kids started school yesterday, I’m back to just working at the dragonfly and you have the diner. What more could we want?”
“And there you go Lorelai, we have such busy lives now that know matter where we work we don’t see each other anymore, and I’m tired of it!” He says and raises his voice a little.
“Well what do you want to do about that. We need to work Luke, we have 12 kids, one of which doesn’t live at home but still we need money.”
“Oh so your saying money is more important than our family and our relationship.”
“Luke, what are you saying?”
“I’m saying that I don’t know how much more of this I can take. Come on Lorelai, we never see each other anymore. We say good morning and goodnight and that’s it.”
“Can’t we just work through this?”
“We can try, but I don’t…I don’t know if this is….going to work….goodnight.” he rolls over and turns out the light, falling asleep. Lorelai looks shocked and then turns over to fall asleep as a single tear rolls down her cheek.

chapter 3
Meanwhile in Madison and Alex’s room, Alex has been venting to her younger sister.
“I mean can you believe her Maddy!” She says finishing her rant.
“Well actually I can, she’s our mom Al. She has the right to tell us when to do something. Why is going out at night so important anyway, we used to hang out all the time. We never do that anymore, why is that less important now?”
“You know that hanging out with you is not less important to me Madison but I’m 16 now, I have my own life and my own friends. And yes I know that we share some friends but I want a life of my own, without mom trying to control me all the time.”
“She just doesn’t want you to get hurt….and neither do I.”
“I won’t get hurt, I promise. Mom just doesn’t understand me.” Alex says and gets up out of bed, then she gets dressed and 15 year old Madison looks confused.
“Um Alex, what are you doing?”
“I’m going out, cover for me?”
“Alex no, not again, I always cover for you, mom is going to be so mad.”
“Please Maddy please, I promised my boyfriend that I would come meet him at his house at 10:00, it is now 9:45. Come on, please.” Alex begs.
Maddy sighs. “Alright fine I’ll cover for you. Just don’t be gone too long.”
Alex smiles happily. “I won’t I promise. Thanks sis.”
“Yeah yeah, now go before you wake up mom and dad.” Alex leaves the room and Maddy falls back onto her bed with a long sigh.
The next morning……When the youngest Danes wakes up, that means everyone is up. Little 3 year old Justin climbs out of his “big boy bed” every morning and sneaks into ever person room, waking them up. First stop, his mommy and daddy’s room.
“Mommy, daddy wake up.” He says, climbing onto their bed.
Lorelai wakes up, with tear stains still on her cheeks.
“Justin, baby. What did we tell you about waking me up at 5:30 in the morning?”
“Sorry mommy, but I’m awake.”
“Oh really.” She pretends to be shocked.
“Yup, see. My eyes are open.” He puts his fingers near his eyes and opens his eye lids.
“I see that, now how about you go wake up your brothers and sisters while I wake up your dad okay?”
“Okay.” Justin hops off the bed and runs down the hallway.
“Luke time to get up.” She says coldly, getting up from the bed.
“Mhmm…okay. Where are you going?”
“I don’t really feel like talking to you right now.”
“Why not, is this about last night. Listen Lorelai I’m sorry that I said what I said. That’s just the way I’ve been feeling lately. I mean you were barely home last year.”
“You could have said that you want to stay together no matter what. You didn’t have to say that you don’t think we are going to make it. I thought that you loved me more than that!” She says with tears forming in her eyes and her anger clear. With that said she gets up and leaves the room to go get the kids ready for school. Luke sits on the bed with his head in his hands feeling terrible.
“Mommy I did it! I woke them up.” Justin says running down the hallway into his mother’s arms.
She wipes her tears and smiles. “Good job, now come on lets go get us some breakfast downstairs.” She carries him downstairs into the kitchen.
As Lorelai is giving Justin his breakfast she hears the front door open and shut very quickly. She sighs, knowing exactly who it is.
“Alexandra Victoria Danes get in this kitchen right now!” Lorelai yells from the kitchen. Alex walks into the kitchen to face a very angry Lorelai.

I do too...I'm just not sure about the whole Cheaper By the Dozen thing where they have 12 kids! It seems a little unreasonable and remember Lorelai was nearing close to 40 and I think that would be really hard for her to undertake. Maybe we should think about one... maybe two but let's not get ahead of ourselves here! Well yeah that would have been crazy, but my story doesn't follow the show, and she had Rory at 18 and then they just kept having kids, I wrote all that in the beginning of the story, and yeah its crazy but oh well. lol.

Chapter 4
“Oh…hey mom.” She says, trying to act cool.
“You really think I’m that stupid Alexandra! How could you stay out all night after I specially told you not to!”
“Because I wanted to see him and you were being unfair!”
“This was the exact reason why I didn’t want you to go out last night because I knew you wouldn’t come home until now. You have school, don’t you care about that?”
“It’s my life mom! I can do whatever I want.”
“Not when you live here you can’t!”
“Well then maybe I shouldn’t live here!”
“Fine!”
“Fine!” Alex marches upstairs and slams her door shut, while Lorelai walks over and slams the coffee pot down.
“Dammit!” Lorelai says loudly at herself and little Justin gets scared and runs into the playroom.
“Mom?” 15 year old Madison and 12 year old Jackie come in after hearing the whole fight. “Are you okay?”
Lorelai turns to her two daughters and sighs. “Just give me a minute girls, I’ll be fine. Are you two ready for school?”
“Yes.”
“Okay good, Jackie sweetie, go check on Kylie and Melissa and make sure they are awake, I would like to talk to Madison alone.”
“Okay mom.” Jackie leaves and goes upstairs to get her 7 year old twin sisters.
“Did you know that Alex snuck out last night?” Lorelai asks sternly.
Maddy looks at the ground and nods.
“I would expect your sister to lie, but I expected more out of you Madison, how come you didn’t tell me?”
“Because you fell asleep, mom I swear I tried to talk her out of it but it didn’t work. She doesn’t talk to me anymore; all she cares about is hanging out with her boyfriend.”
“Yeah well at least she is talking to you.”
“Oh mom don’t worry, she will come around. She is a lot like you.”
“That’s what I’m afraid of. I mean, you are just like me too. But you got my sarcastic genes and coffee drinking habits, Alexandra got my bad girl genes. I don’t want her going through what I went through.”
“Mom, do you regret having us at a young age?”
“Oh sweetie no, not at all. I mean, your dad and I should have waited but having you 12 kids is one of the greatest things that could have happened to me. I just wish I could get a break.”
“Yeah well you had all last year for that.” Madison mumbles under her breath.
“What?”
“You and I have a great relationship mom, and I love that. But last year you were barely around and that’s when I started to rely more and more on talking with Alex. Now that your home everyone is fighting again and-“
“And its just better if I wasn’t here, I get it. I’m sorry I’m such a bad mother.” With that she gets up and calls for her youngest children.
“Jeff, Kylie, Melissa, Tommy, Justin come down and get in the car.” The 4 youngest Danes kids get into the car and Maddy goes after her mom.
“Mom please don’t be mad, you’re not a bad mother, please don’t leave.”
“I’m dropping them off and going to work Maddy, I don’t have time to deal with anyone anymore this morning. I’m in a very bad mood as it is so please don’t make it worse.”
She nods slowly and Lorelai pulls out of the driveway.
“Hey, your mom left already?” Luke says coming up from behind his daughter.
“Yea, she left. Where’s Danny? We are going to walk to school together.”
“He coming down in a minute. I have to go wake up Chris.”
Luke walks into his 17 year old son’s room and throws a book at him. “Wake up, get to school.”
Chris groans and gets up and ready. Then Luke opens Alex’s door and sees her packing a bag, she hears her dad come in. She has a much better relationship with him then she does with her mom.
“I’m going to stay with Rory at Yale.”
“You can’t leave Al, you have to go to school.”
“Dad I don’t want to. I hate school, and I hate mom. Why did you have to pick her to have me with. Couldn’t I have a good mom, one that didn’t screw up her life.”
“Hey! I never want to hear you say those words ever again! Do you understand me?” Luke yells.
“I’m sorry dad, its just that me and mom never get along.”
“And you know why that is.”
“No, why?”
“Because believe it or not, you two are exactly alike, when your mom was your age, all she did was party and drink and stay out late. She too started…well doing what your doing with your boyfriend, at a young age.” This was a hard subject for a father daughter talk. “Your mom and I did all that stuff together, and we know now that it wasn’t right. Your mom loves you Al, she just doesn’t want you to be like her.”
Alex really didn’t want to talk to anyone anymore, she just wanted get out of the house. “Well if she can’t except that I’m apparently just like her, then I’m not staying.” She gets up and takes her bag. Then goes through the hallway bumping into Jackie and Jake.
“Hey Al where are you going?” They say in unison.
“I’m leaving, and don’t go through my stuff while I’m gone.” She says, brushing past them and out the door.
Skips to 12:00 PM the same day.
Lorelai is at the Inn with Justin and the rest of the kids are at school.
“Mommy, da phone is ringing.” 3 year old Justin told his mom.
“Thank you baby. Hello, dragonfly inn.”
“Hey its me, now before you hang up I just have some things to say.” Luke says over the phone.
“Go ahead.”
“I’m sorry okay. You know that I love you. I have loved you since we were 14 and I never regret any of our times together. I know about your fight with Al this morning, I’m sorry about that too.”
“I know Luke, and I’m sorry I overreacted but its just been driving me crazy, 11 kids living at home is a lot.”
“Yeah well look on the bright side, Chris does off to college the end of this year.”
“Yes! That will be two down and 10 more to go!” She says jokingly.
“Yup. So….are we okay?”
“Yea Luke, we’re okay. I love you too.”
“Hey I have an idea, what if the two of us went away for the weekend?”
“Luke are you crazy, we have a house full of kids to take care of, Alex’s is a handful in itself.”
“We can put Chris and Madison in charge. Then Rory can go and check on them every night.”
“I’ll think about it.”
“Good. So how’s Justin?”
“He’s good, here talk to him while I check this people in.”
“Hi daddy.”
“Hey buddy, are you being a good boy for mommy?”
“I’m a berry good boy daddy. I help mommy with people and keys.” He means he helps Lorelai hand out room keys to people.
Lorelai tells Justin to say goodbye to daddy.
“Bye bye daddy.”
“Bye buddy.” They both hang up.
Meanwhile at Yale…….Alex had gone to school, but left early, she is just now getting to Yale.
She knocks on Rory’s dorm room door and waits for her to answer.
“Alex? What are you doing here?”
“Well funny story actually, can I come in.”
“Yea sure.” Rory lets her in all while having a, this can’t be good, look on her face.
Chapter 5
“So Al, you want to tell me what happened?” She says as they sit on the couch.
“I just can’t stay in that house anymore. Mom and dad don’t understand me and there’s always little kids running around.”
“Yeah that may be true but you can’t just run away from home Alex.”
“No! I’m not going back, me and mom got into another fight. It used to be me and dad fighting all the time but lately….ever since I turned 16….mom and I have been fighting non-stop.”
“What did you do when you went out last night, anyway?”
“I went out with my boyfriend and didn’t come home until this morning. Mom got so mad at me.”
“Alex!”
“Yeah I know…stupid….but I love him and wanted to see him, which mom and dad can’t ever understand. They also found out that he and I are sleeping together.”
“Well at least they found out, I was getting tired of keeping that secret from mom and dad. What I do think is that you need to go home and at least try to sit down and talk with them.”
“I love it.” Then she sighs. “Fine I’ll go, but I won’t be happy about it.” They say goodbye and Alex rushes home to beat her parent’s home. She blows through the door and into the living room where Chris, Madison and Danny are doing their homework.
“Hey you guys, are mom and dad home yet?”
“Nope but mom did call. She’s picking up Jeff, Lissa, Kylie and Tommy from school and then coming here.” 14 year old Danny explains.
“Okay great, please don’t tell them I left school early okay.”
“Sure.” Madison and Danny say.
“Chris?”
“Were you out with that guy last night?” Her 17 year old very overprotective brother asks.
“Well….uh….yeah I was but he didn’t do anything to hurt me, Chris. I swear to you that he would never do that.”
“I’ll kill him if he does.”
“He won’t and I promise to be careful.”
“Okay good.” Chris says and then they all go back to doing homework except Alex. She puts her feet up and watches T.V.
10 minutes later Lorelai and the kids come home and all go into the living room.
“Alexandra turn off the T.V, you know it’s not supposed to be on when you’re doing your homework.”
“Well I’m not doing homework.”
“Okay, you may not be but your brothers and sisters are. Now turn if off!”
“Fine!” She shuts it off and slams the remote down on the table.
“Chris watch your brothers please. Alex come with me into the kitchen.”
Chris says okay and Alex follows her mother into the kitchen.
“What mom?”
“I didn’t get a chance to punish you this morning. You are grounded from now until I say your not and you are not allowed to see your boyfriend.”
“What! That is so unfair!”
“News flash, life's not fair kid, get used to it.”
“What are you afraid we are going to do!?”
“I don’t want you to end up getting yourself into trouble.”
“Don’t worry mom, I won’t end up like you, who would want to anyway because I can’t think of one person who would ever want to be anything like you!” Alex storms upstairs leaving a shocked and hurt Lorelai in the kitchen.
“Mommy can we have a snack?” Kylie and Lissa ask as they walk into the kitchen.
“What? Oh yeah..of course you can. What do you girls want?”
“Left over pie!” They cheer.
“Okay here ya go.” Lorelai gets it out and gives it to them at the kitchen table.
“Mom we’re home.” 12 year old Jackie yells to her mother as her and her twin brother come home from middle school.
“Kitchen.” Lorelai calls back.
“Hey you two, how was school?”
“Great.” Jackie says.
“Boring very, very boring. I don’t see how we are twin’s mom.” Jake tells his mother.
“It’s only the second week of school, I’m sure it will get better.”
“Yeah right.” Jake says rolling his eyes.
Meanwhile in the living room, 5 year old Tommy was telling his big brother Chris all about his day.
“Guess what else I learned Chris.”
“What?”
“I learned to write my name.”
“Oh that’s great little man, high five.” Tommy jumps up to reach Chris’s hand and gives him a high five.
“Hey whad bout me.” Little Justin says feeling left out.
“You didn’t learn anything.” Tommy tells his little brother.
“Did too.”
“Did not.”
“Did too.”
“Did not.”
“Come on you guys, let’s go see mommy in the kitchen.” Chris says to distract them and takes them in the kitchen where Lorelai is.
Hours later is it now 8:30 at night in the Danes house, Justin, Tommy, Kylie and Melissa or Lissa as her friends and family call her, are all in bed. Al has been in her and Madison’s room all day, along with Madison. Jackie, Jake and Dan are finishing their homework in their rooms, and 17 year old Chris is out somewhere. Luke is still at the diner closing up; Lorelai is sitting on the couch relaxing when her ten year old son Jeff comes into the room.
“Hi mom.”
“Jeff, why aren’t you in bed?”
“I can’t sleep, I don’t like going to bed when the little kids do.” He says, while sitting next to his mom.
“But kiddo you are still a little kid.”
“How come Jackie and Jake get to go to bed later then me?”
“Because they are older then you, your still a little boy Jeff and you need sleep.”
“Can’t I just stay down here with you till daddy gets home?”
Lorelai smiles at him, she has always felt that Jeffery doesn’t always get enough attention since he is really stuck in the middle. She tries her best to give him as much attention as she can but sometimes he gets shafted.
“Alright sure, but just until your dad gets home.”
“Thanks mom.” He says and sits closer to Lorelai. He likes it when it’ just him and his mom. Usually there is always other kids running around and he doesn’t like that because then he doesn’t get noticed as much but he still knows that his parents love him.
Chapter 6
The next day Lorelai and Alex still aren’t talking, and the house is still crazy. Luke and Lorelai can barely get a second to themselves. Today Madison was going to school in hopes of talking to her friend Davey who she has a secret crush on.
At Stars Hollow high school, after Madison and Davy’s 10th grade English class. Madison sees the snottiest girl in the 10th grade, Emily Caswell.
“Hey Davy.” She gives him a flirtatious smile and then gives Madison a dirty look which she does not take lightly.
“What was that look for?” Madison says, catching up to Emily.
“No reason really, I just don’t like you.”
“Why? What did I ever do to you?”
“You’re flirting with Davy that’s what.”
“First of all he is my good friend, and second of all I wasn’t flirting, we were only talking.”
“Oh please I know how your family is. My mom told me to look out for the Danes girls. You’ll take any guy and jump into bed, like mother like daughter.”
“Take that back!” Madison yells and pushes Emily.
“I’m not taking back the truth!” Emily yells and pushes her back.
“Go to hell B, don’t ever talk about my family like that!” Madison yells and slaps her; Emily hits her back and slams her into a locker. Madison pushes her off of herself and hits her hard, giving her a bloody nose. As they are fighting two teachers see and come running over.
“Girls, girls! Knock it off now!” The one teacher says as they pull them apart.
“You’re a filthy dirty little very *friendly* person Madison Danes, just like your mom and your sister!” Emily screams as she is taken away by the teacher.
“Well you’re not much better Emily Caswell! At least I don’t get paid to get my guys!” Madison screams back and the other teacher takes her in the opposite direction.
The principal had called Lorelai and told her of what happened. Lorelai told them to keep her in school and she’d deal with it later. Lorelai couldn’t believe it, Madison has never gotten into any fights, she is a good kid.
At around 2:25 in the afternoon the highschoolers come walking in the door.
“Hey mom.” Chris and Dan say as they walk upstairs, Alex doesn’t say anything, she just goes straight up to her room. Madison strolls in last, and locks eyes with her mom.
“Hi mom.”
“Maddie, do you have anything you want to tell me about?”
“Um…well…no not really.” She says, trying to cover up the mark on her face but Lorelai sees it.
“Oh my god Madison, what happened to your face? Come on, you have to put some ice on it.” They walk into the kitchen and sit at the table as she ices her face.
“Okay kiddo, spill.”
“I got in a fight.”
“Yeah I know, the school called me, you want to tell me why?”
“I don’t know, I just got mad and I snapped. I’m so sorry mom.”
“You never get in fights Maddie, what happened?”
She sighs. “I like Davy, you know that. So I was talking to him and this girl Emily walked by and gave him a flirty smile and then gave me a dirty look so I asked her why she gave me a dirty look and then we yelled some more, she called me a very *friendly* person and said it was like mother like daughter, then I..well..I told her that at least I don’t have to pay guys to date me.”
Lorelai snickers a little but was still mad that her 15 year old daughter got into a fight at school. “Well I’m glad you stuck up for your family, but you know you can’t fight. Now I want you to go up to your room and wait till your dad gets home.”
“Mom no! You can’t tell dad, he’s gonna be so mad at me.”
“Well tough kiddo, you do the crime, you do the time. Now get upstairs.”
Madison sighs and puts the ice away. “Fine.” She says and goes upstairs.
In Alex and Madison’s room….
“So you got in a fight I heard? Its all around school you know.” Al tells her younger sister.
“Yeah I know.” She says as she collapses on the bed, laying on her back.
“How long did mom ground you for?”
“She didn’t, she said that she has to talk to dad.”
“Uh oh, dad is going to be so mad at you, you his little angel.” Al says in a snotty attitude.
“And you’re his little devil.” Madison says back.
She grins. “I know I am.”
Madison throws a pillow at her sister and rolls her eyes, they both start laughing.
Around 4:30 Luke’s gets home and sees Lorelai in the kitchen. Lorelai jumps up to greet her husband.
“Hey sexy.” She says flirting and Luke rolls his eyes.
“Ah jeez Lorelai, not in front of Justin.” Luke says as he holds Lorelai in his arms while their three year old son sits at the table eating a snack.
“Alright, can I at least have a kiss?”
“Yeah I guess so.” He says jokingly and she slaps him, but he grabs her hand and kisses her. “I’m sorry about the other day.”
“Its okay, I’m sorry too.” They kiss a soft kiss and then Lorelai’s eyes start to wonder.
“You okay?”
“Yeah…I just..there’s something I have to tell you and you might not be too happy about it?”
He sighs. “Alright, which kid got in trouble this time, the twins?”
Lorelai shakes her head no.
“Al?”
No again.
“Chris? Danny?”
“Ugh no Luke, but keep guessing.”
“Jacqueline? Jake? Tommy?”
“Nope, only three guesses left.”
“Just tell me Lorelai.” Luke says, getting frustrated.
“Fine I’ll tell you….Madison.”
“What!? But she never gets in trouble, what did she do?”
“Well I got a call at the Inn from the school saying that she got into a fight, they asked if I wanted to come and pick her up from school but I told them to keep her there and I’d deal with her later. So I talked to her about it, and I told her that I’d wait until you got home to discuss her punishment.”
“I never thought she would get in a fight.” Luke says, still in shock that his little girl got into a fight.
“Me either, you should really go talk to her Luke, she thinks you are going to be really angry and hate her so just go easy on her okay?”
“Yeah….okay. I’ll be back.” He says and walks up the stairs, then he knocks on his daughters’ door.
“Girls, its me, can I come in?”
Al opens the door. “Hi dad.”
“Hey, would you mind leaving your sister and I alone.”
“Alright, but go easy on her dad, she’s never gotten in a fight before.” Al gives her dad and pat on the shoulder and leaves the room.
“Hey kiddo.” Luke says sitting on the chair across from Madison’s bed where she was sitting.
“Hey dad.” She says, looking at her feet.
“So…your mom told me that the school called today, you wanna tell me why?” He asks, even though he knows already. She looks up at her dad with her big blue eyes and gets little tears in them. She hates disappointing her dad, she can’t stand it.
“I got in a fight, I’m so sorry daddy. I didn’t mean to, it just happened. That girl just mad me so mad!” She yells out in frustration. Luke sits on the bed next to his daughter and gives her a hug.
“Calm down, I’m not going to yell at you, just tell me what happened.”
She starts to calm down some more. “I was talking to Davy in the hallway and this girl gave me a dirty look, I asked why she did it, we said some things and hit each other. I couldn’t take what she was saying, she can’t just call me and mom and Alex very *friendly* persons and then get away with it. I mean no one even remembers Rory, she was your golden child, she got great grades, went to Chilton and did everything right. Your probably wishing you didn’t have messed up children like us right? I mean, I’ve known that mom getting pregnant with me was a mistake but-“
“Hey! Don’t ever say that, you are not a mistake, sure we didn’t plan on having kids after Alex was born because we wanted to try and make more money first, we would have had another kid eventually, you just happened to come earlier then we thought you would, that’s all. You were in no way a mistake, do you understand me?”
She nods. “Yeah I understand, thanks dad. So does this mean I’m not in trouble?”
“Ohhh nooo your in trouble all right, grounded for 3 weeks, and you come straight to the diner everyday after school for the next 3 weeks to work, got it?”
“Deal.” She agrees because she knows she deserves it. They sit on the bed and Luke gives her a hug.
“I love you daddy.” She says in a little girl voice.
“Right Back at cha kiddo.”
Chapter 7
Previously: “Calm down, I’m not going to yell at you, just tell me what happened.”
She starts to calm down some more. “I was talking to Davy in the hallway and this girl gave me a dirty look, I asked why she did it, we said some things and hit each other. I couldn’t take what she was saying, she can’t just call me and mom and Alex very *friendly* persons and then get away with it.

“I love you daddy.” She says in a little girl voice.
“Right Back at cha kiddo.”Luke rubs his daughter’s back and then looks at her. “Now why don’t you start your homework and I’ll call you when dinner’s ready okay?”
“Alright.” Madison says and goes to her desk and opens up her books. Luke stands in the doorway and watches her and wonders what is wrong with her that she would ever get into a fight, she was always such a good kid. Luke sighs and closes her door, then walks back down the hallway but is stopped by Justin running into his arms.
“Daddy! Tommy hurted me.” Justin says while Tommy comes into the hallway.
“Cause he stole my book daddy!” Tommy yells.
“You know better then to hit your little brother Thomas,” He puts Justin down. “Now say your sorry to him.”
“Sorry.” Tommy says.
“Good. Now go play nicely.” Luke tells his son’s and they run off. Luke walks back downstairs to where Lorelai is sitting in the kitchen and walks up behind her and gives her a kiss.
“Mmhhm…you haven’t done that in while.” She grins and stands up in his arms kissing him again.
“Yeah I know, we haven’t been able to do much of anything anymore.”
“Yeah I know.” She says sadly.
“I love you Lorelai.”
She smiles and wraps her arms tightly around him and he gives her a hug.
“I know you do, and I love you too.”
“And I’m sorry.”
“About what?”
“About us not having time for each other anymore.”
“Aw Luke honey its not all your fault, its my fault too. I mean things are always crazy around here and with our jobs. Its just..well…crazy.”
“I don’t want us to drift apart Lorelai, you mean so much to me. We’ve known each other for such a long time. I never want to be without you.”
The way Luke is talking is starting to scare Lorelai.
“Luke you are scaring me, what’s going on?”

I do too...I'm just not sure about the whole Cheaper By the Dozen thing where they have 12 kids! It seems a little unreasonable and remember Lorelai was nearing close to 40 and I think that would be really hard for her to undertake. Maybe we should think about one... maybe two but let's not get ahead of ourselves here! Well yeah that would have been crazy, but my story doesn't follow the show, and she had Rory at 18 and then they just kept having kids, I wrote all that in the beginning of the story, and yeah its crazy but oh well. lol. Oh ok...didn't read that part! Great story.
