Chapter 3: Rory called
Three weeks later Lorelai walked into the diner in the afternoon. She expected Luke and the kids to be there, but couldn´t see or hear them.
âHello Lorelai!â Patty greeted her.
âHi Patty!â Lorelai said and wanted to go upstairs as fast as possible, because she wasn´t in the mood to gossip with Miss Patty. She had been working more than ever these last few weeks, leave alone the last whole year. She felt exhausted, physically and emotionally. She missed her husband and her children. So finally after all this time she had taken half a day off and wanted to spend her time with her family. She really needed it.
âThey are not upstairs, honey!â Patty told her.
âNo?â
âNo, haven´t seen them all day. But Luke called me three days ago and told me that the twins were sick, so I assumed they still areâ Patty said and raised her eyebrows.
âOh, yeah, uh...sure... they areâ Lorelai had had no idea that they were sick.
âYou didn´t know that, right? Pay attention that you don´t forget your sexy husband and your cute children over all that work you bury yourself in. â Patty advised her.
Lorelai just nodded and smiled before she quickly left the diner and went home as fast as possible.
âLuke? Luuuke?â she yelled when she entered the house. She threw her purse on the floor and kept calling him, while she slipped of her shoes and walked into the living room.
When she still got no answer she walked upstairs and heard voices coming out of the twin´s room.
âYes, baby, just this spoon and then you´re done. Come on it will help you sleep!â she heard Luke say and opened the door slowly. Luke was sitting on Sara´s bed and was talking her into taking her medicine, while Laila lay in his lap, in her pajamas like Sara, and was just as pale as her sister. Luke stroked over Sara´s hair after she had taken her medicine and pulled the blanket tighter over her body.
Lorelai had trouble keeping her tears at bay, because she felt horrible. She didn´t even know that her children were sick. She hadn´t seen them awake in weeks and couldn´t remember the last time she had done something with them. And Luke, her wonderful husband, just jumped in and took care of everything, without complaining. She was flooded by love and guilt while she took in the scene.
She walked into the room quietly and let her fingers glide through Luke´s hair, before she took Laila from him and hugged her close.
âMommy!â the girl mumbled with a raspy voice. And let her head drop on her mothers shoulder. Lorelai pressed her daughter against her and leaned over to kiss Sara a few times, while the girl looked up at her with glassy eyes, before she turned towards her father and snuggled close to him.
Lorelai took Laila and sat down on her bed, leaned against the pillow and covered her daughter with a blanket. She positioned her that her head was tucked under her chin and she rubbed the girls back soothingly and played with her daughters curls. She felt that she ran a fever while the girl clung to her.
Luke left the room when Sara was asleep and checked on William, who still played in his room with his cars. Lorelai followed him outside when Laila was asleep and met Luke in the hall, when he left Will´s room again. He closed the door behind him quietly and looked at her. She couldn´t stand his look, which was a mixture of worry, love and disappointment, and looked on the floor for some seconds. When she looked up he was still standing in the same spot, with the same look and she burst into tears. Luke hugged her and she sobbed in his shoulder.
âWhat kind of mother am I, that I don´t know when my kids are sick? All I am doing is working and I miss seeing them grow up and I miss them and I miss you! And you, you just jump in and take care of it all by yourself, without even complaining!â she cried. Luke knew that she was exhausted and didn´t really want to get into the whole subject right then. He had a lot to say about that topic and knew that he couldn´t save her from reproval. She had to change her busy schedule and make place for her family, meaning also her little kids, not only Rory. He put himself in the row at last, first she needed to be there for their children, then they could talk about their relationship.
So he remained silent and just lead her to their bed and lay her down, hugged her close and waited until she was asleep before he left the room again and joined William in his room to play and talk with him.
An hour later Lorelai opened the door to her sons room and found her men on the ground playing with some cars.
âHey! You left me alone!â she smiled at Luke.
âYou were asleepâ he just said and smiled back. Lorelai sat down on the floor next to William and noticed once again how much he looked like Luke and how much he had grown in the last time.
âCan I play with you?â she asked William.
âNo!â he just said and kept playing and ignoring his mother. Lorelai was taken aback.
âWhy not?â she asked.
âYou are a girl!â William said distantly.
âGirls can play with cars, too, you know! Come on, my baby, let mommy play with these cute little cars, too!â she begged.
âI am no baby and no!â William said, not looking at her.
Luke who knew that this discussion would lead to nothing, decided to get himself out of this situation, because he knew that Lorelai would press on and at one point or the other William would explode and then the five year old would tell his mother some things she wouldn´t be keen to hear. And he better did not want be there when that happened, because he would have to tell her that William was right, and he knew she wasn´t in a state where she could deal with it.
âI have to go and check on the diner for an hour or so. Can you stay and keep an eye on the kids?â he asked Lorelai and interrupted their discussion.
âNo problem, I will just stay here with William and play with him, I´m sure the twins will be asleep for a whileâ she smiled, thankful for the time with her son.
âNo, daddy I wanna come with you!â William yelled immediately and jumped up.
âNo, Will stay here with your mother I won´t take long!â
âNoooo! Daddy, please! I don´t wanna stay with mommy! Please daddy! Please!â William begged.
âWill you can stay with me, I promise I won´t touch your precious cars!â Lorelai said clearly hurt by her son´s behaviour.
âNo! You´re stupid! I don´t wanna stay with you!â William yelled at her and resumed begging his father to go with him. Lorelai looked like William had slapped her in the face.
âWilliam you will not talk to your mother like that and you will stay here!â Luke said and walked out of the room.
âDaddyyyy! Daddyyyy noooo!â William cried as if Luke would leave forever.
âWill he will be back soon! Calm down!â Lorelai said quietly, still shocked about what happened, but she tried to be mature and don´t let her son see how much he hurt her.
âYou´re stupid! Get out of my room! I want my daddy!â William cried and threw himself on the floor. Lorelai slowly stood up and walked over to her bedroom, sat down on the bed and cried for the second time that day.
Luke came back two hours later, because there was more to do in the diner than he had thought. The bills needed to be paid, he needed to order an so on. A lot had been put aside since the kids were sick and he used the time to catch up.
He found William in the living-room in front of the TV, watching cartoons, but Lorelai was nowhere to be seen.
âWhere is your mother?â he asked the boy.
âOn the phone with Roryâ he answered and pronounced his sisters name like it was poisonous.
âI thought you wanted to play together?â Luke asked with raised eyebrows.
âI did not want to play with her. I wanted to play with you. And then I´ve watched TV and she sat here and then SHE called and mommy is goneâ William said and turned his attention back on the screen.
Luke walked upstairs and before he got the chance to look for Lorelai he heard Sara coughing and crying. So he walked into the twin´s room and picked her up, gave her some Tylenol and calmed her down and took her with him, closing the door behind him.
âGeez, Lorelai! Sara is crying and burning up, where the hell are you?â Luke said angrily and only the feverish child in his arms kept him from yelling . He had been gone for two hours and his daughter was crying her eyes out and his son sat offended in the living-room.
âWhat...What are you doing?â he asked her confused and still upset when he found her in the bedroom, her suitcase open on the bed and her clothes everywhere in the room.
âRory called. Logan cheated on her again. She is upset and she needs me. I´m flying over to London!â she told him and kept throwing clothes into the suitcase, while she waited for him to say something and to ask what had happened and if Rory was okay. When he remained silent she looked up, just in time to see the door slam shut. She flinched at the sound and hurried after him.
