Who: Lorelai Gilmore and Alan Shore
When: A week ago, before Rory came home but after this
What: A serious talk
Warnings: Possible word salad

It was five o'clock and Lorelai was finishing up her workday. She was technically on call 24/7, but her staff was competent and could handle most things by themselves. Besides, nobody wanted to see Lorelai at three a.m. without coffee.

She was at the front desk, handing a piece of stationary to the night clerk. "This is from our 'special needs' guest up in 201." The term was less P.C. code for handicapped, and more 'God, this woman is high maintenance.' "Most of it's really obvious and self-explanatory, but she wanted to write it down. Don't worry too much about it, just be super-polite and it should be fine. And if you need anything, you know how to reach me." 'But please don't,' was the unspoken message.

Lorelai had been stressed. She was avoiding the man she loved with because she didn't want him to know she was in love with him--it didn't make much sense even to her--and her daughter was heartbroken and there was nothing Lorelai could do. Even bitching at the jerk who'd broken it didn't make her feel better. Tonight she was just going to stay in, order chinese food, and watch old movies.

When Alan heard someone come into the courtroom he tried to keep going, but it was quite obvious no one's attention was on him anymore. Oh well, he had pretty much won the case already.

He turned to see who it was, not really sure who to expect, and was just a little confused when he saw Lorelai. When she kissed him he was even more thrown and this yelling yes, yes Alan...

Then he realized what she meant. A smile bloomed up on his face, a real and very happy smile, and he laughed a little. "Really? Really!"

He actually tossed her up a bit and kissed her not even hearing the judge yell, "What is the meaning of this, Mr Shore!? Mr. Shore! Order! Order! I'm going to throw you both in contempt if you don't settle down at once."

But no one really heard the judge, which is why they were sitting in contempt not more than an hour later, just staring at each other.

"Really?"

It wasn't every day Lorelai found herself locked in a cell with a guy who she'd just gotten engaged to.

"Really," she said, grinning. "I'm sorry I was crazy before. Everybody was randomly getting married last weekend to people they hadn't met and it was like one of those crazy magic pirate things and I thought you were just on a spell because.. Hello! When did you get over your thing with the commitment-inspired word salad? I didn't think you would ever.." She was talking really fast, as usual. She took a breath. "I love you, Alan. I have for a while, and I've been avoiding you because I didn't think you wanted me to be."

Alan smiled. He'd been here many times before, but he was glad he was here with Lorelai this time.

"Oh, I don't really believe it either. I was just talking to Denny and I told him I was in love with you and he told me I should marry you. Which I laughed at of course, as Denny being crazy. Then he pointed out that I'd never really said that about any woman. And it made sense. I may have rushed it a little."

	She laughed. "Considering we've barely even talked in a couple weeks? Might've come out of left field a little." She smiled. It was good, though. She was still a little in shock, maybe, but she was happy. She grinned, wrapping her arms around his neck and and kissing him on the lips. "So I have Denny to thank?"

	Alan laughed. "I suppose I could have started with just a I love you, but I've never been one to do anything half way." "Yes, it's all Denny's fault. But try not to give him too big of head, he doesn't need any more inflation." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorelai laughed happily. "You know, there's no one I'd rather be locked in a cell with." She leaned against him, resting her cheek against his shoulder. "No pirate theme, okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He leaned his head over so his cheek rested against the top of her head. "There's, no one I would rather be in here with, either." He laughed. "Oh, but I was just getting use to the idea of the big hat and lacey top." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, there's nothing that says we can't dress up. The lace top I have isn't really designed to be worn in public, though," she said, smirking playfully. How long were they going to be kept in here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alan returned the smirk. "I like the sound of that." He leaned his head back. Yes, this was going to be the best time he'd spent in contempt, probably the best he'd ever spend in contempt. (Reply to this) (Parent)
