The pregnancy was tough on Alessi. Even in the months after having Jack, she was always tired and sore. She did her best to take care of him, but she barely had enough energy to even keep Gray entertained, nevermnd deal with a crying baby.
Lorelai was still depressed, but she wasn't letting it get to her. She would play with Damien all day, help Rayen with whatever she needed help with in the evenings, then soak in the hottub once everyone was asleep. It was her privite time, and she loved every second of it, especially since she spent alot of the time in there daydreaming about the man she decided would be perfect for her and her kids....
Gray was trying hard to get along with Rayen, especially since they got stuck doing an assignment together. However, right in the middle of it, Rayen jumped up, grabbed some ice cream from the freezer, sat down on a stool and started to eat it.
"Hey!" snapped Gray. "We are supposed to be working."
Rayen rolled her eyes. "I'm done. I'm a girl so I'm smarter, and I finished a lot quicker than you."
"Can you help me then?" cried Gray. "This is going to take me forever!"
Rayen laughed and said, "No way, Gray!"
Frustrated, Gray leapt up and snapped, "Rayen, Rayen, go away! Come again no other day!"
Rayen burst out laughing. "That's pretty funny, Grayson."
Gray laughed too. "Yeah, see, I'm smart enough to think of that!"
Rayen suddenly stopped laughing. "But do you know what is funnier?" she asked, grinning evilly
Gray blinked in confusion. "Nooo..." he said
Rayen laughed and cried, "Gray, Gray, has it been said? Your name is the color of an old man's head!"
Gray threw his hands up. "Your really mean!" he cried.
Rayen laughed again. "Never said I wasn't!"
The babies were growing bigger every day. Jack was the easiest to care for. The one thing that made him happier than anything else was food.
Damien was another story. He was a sweet, lovable little guy who really loved people. A lot. If he was away from his mother or Jack for more than a minute, he would scream and cry from lonliness. Lorelai tried to keep him occupyed with his toys and the teddy bear she bought him that he named Barie, but in never worked.
Douglas was the one who spent the most time with them. He loved the babies so much, especially Jack. He spent every free second he had tickling him and cuddling him. Whenever Jack was napping, Douglas would try to keep Damien happy. Damien and Douglas soon got to loving each other, although Douglas never had him call him Daddy like he had Gray do. Nevertheless, Douglas spent all his time in the nursery, and although he was often stressed out, he considered himself fufilled to be with them.
Alessi had taken notice of this. She had been feeling bad for letting Douglas be a full time daddy while she slept all day. So one evening as Douglas was about to go to work, Alessi cornered him.
"Hey babe," grinned Douglas. "Feeling any better?"
"Not really," admitted Alessi. "But I feel bad for making you spend all your time in here."
Douglas shrugged. "It's not a big deal. Besides, Lorelai's in here a lot, too."
"Your in here more," snapped Alessi. "And tomorrow's your day off, and I don't want you spending it changing diapers!"
"It's no problem, really." Promised Douglas.
"Yes it is." snapped Alessi. "I will take care of Jack tomorrow, and I want you to get out of the house and have some fun."
"It's really not..." Douglas started to say, when Alessi interupted him.
"Please, Douglas," she pleaded, giving him the puppy dog eyes. "If not for yourself, do it for me! I worry about you! And besides, I want to spend some quality time with our son."
Since Douglas was like every other person on earth, he could not say no to his wife's puppy dog eyes.
"Okay..." he gave in. "I'll go out and have fun tomorrow," he paused a moment, then said, "But I'm going to think about you and the kids the whole time!"
Alessi grinned. "That's all I ask!"
Douglas than kissed his wife and proceeded to go to work. Since Jack was napping, Alessi didn't have anything to do in the nursery, so she went to go start a new painting. As soon as she left, Lorelai came in, grinning. She had heard the whole conversation.
She scooped up Damien, who was starting to get whiny because he was alone, and bounced him up and down. He giggled. Lorelai laughed as well, before saying, "Did you hear what they said, Dame-Dame?" she squealed. "Did you?"
"Yea!" screamed Damien, throwing his little arms in the air.
Lorelai laughed again at her son's cuteness, then looked at the sleeping Jack for a minute. She sighed and said, "You know, Douglas is going to be alone tomorrow. All day. And he will be very lonley."
"Wonwey," Damien agreed.
Lorelai grinned. "Yes, very very lonley. Maybe with a little push..." She paused, then a small evil smile crept across her lips. She looked down into her little boy's face and exclaimed, "Your gonna get a daddy!"
The next morning, Douglas made out with his wife in their bedroom till about eleven, before grabbing some food and heading to the beach to make himself some lunch. He ran across the sand, excited about a day to himself, until he saw who was hanging around the grill.
He'd recognize that long red hair anywhere.
"Lorelai Lynsey," snapped Douglas as he walked past her to get to the grill. "I suppose you here for one of my world famous hotdogs?"
"I didn't even know you would be here," Lorelai said innocently as she sat down on the picnic table. "Though that sounds nice. I'll take two."
Douglas rolled his eyes and pulled out a lighter. "What are you doing here, anyways?"
Lorelai shrugged. "Needed a break. Damien is always wearing me out!"
"Wait!" cried Douglas. "Alessi is home alone with BOTH babies?!"
"No, no." said Lorelai, drooling as she watched him grill. "I dropped Damien off at the Greenwoods. Though I hope that was a good idea. He tends to get lonley for me a lot."
"Yeah, I noticed," sneered Douglas as he put the hotdogs in buns, then put them on the table. "Dig in"
Lorelai started to pile them on her plate, and after every bite complimented him on his cooking skill. Douglas wasn't really hungry anymore, but Lorelai was continually asking him to eat. He finally gave it, and soon as he took a bite, Lorelai started making small talk.
Soon all the hotdogs were gone, and they were having a full blown conversation. Douglas had to admit, he was having fun talking with Lorelai.
When another family showed up, they moved off the beach a little so their conversation would be more privite. However, a few minutes later, they ran out of things to talk about. They both stood there awkwardly for a moment before Lorelai suggested that they go to the Red Rendezous for some dancing. Douglas agreed.
It was only down the street, so they walked, chatting a little bit as they went. When they arrived, Douglas jokingly remarked how homey the place looked.
"Yeah," laughed Lorelai. "Looks more homey than the place we live." When Douglas didn't reply, she quickly said, "Let's go inside."
As soon they got inside, Douglas started dancing like crazy, while Lorelai slunk over to the bar, where she started to make a special drink.
It didn't take very long for Douglas to notice that Lorelai wasn't with him. He went to find her, and spotted her behind the bar with a glass in her hand. He hurried over, and she held it out to him. When he didn't take it right away, she whined, "But I made it special just for you!" Douglas gently took it, and Lorelai watched him nervously.
She felt relieved, though, when Douglas took a sip, and he was shocked. It was GOOD. He drank the whole thing, than turned to Lorelai and cried, "Make me a dozen more glasses!"
"Yes sir!" cried Lorelai, than handed him another. He downed that one in a few seconds.
Lorelai cut him off six glasses later, and requested that they dance. Douglas started dancing like an animal, and didn't mind very much when Lorelai started dancing close to him. And then she got closer. And closer....
Douglas woke up very confused the next morning, with a pounding headache, in Lorelai's bed. He couldn't remember how he got there, but remembered having like ten drinks. He assumed that he got drunk and Lorelai snuck him into her room so he wouldn't get in trouble with Alessi.
And then he noticed that he was naked.
Oh no, he thought. I didn't... I couldn't. I mean... I probably puked all over myself and Lorelai took my clothes off so I wouldn't have to sleep in them That's all that happened. That's all. But he couldn't make himself believe it.
He spun into his clothes, then snuck into his room. Alessi was still sleeping, so he slipped under the covers. He tried to sleep, but his head hurt to much. He sighed and just lay there, trying to remember what happened last night.
About a hald hour later, he heard russeling. He sat up and saw Alessi was awake. She smiled and said, "Woah, what time did you get in last night?!"
She got up and started to fix the bed, mumbling about having to go give the kids breakfast. Douglas got up too, and Alessi paused, and asked him if he had fun.
"I sure did," said Douglas, thinking that it wasn't nessacarily a lie.
Alessi smiled. "Good. What did you do?"
Douglas froze, then started to list off everything he could remember, minus getting drunk. He also didn't go into a lot of detail about him with Lorelai, just mentioned that he ran into her.
Alessi frowned and asked, "You okay? You look kind of upset."
Thinking fast, Douglas quickly stuttered, "Oh, yeah... fine. Just a little bit of a headache."
Alessi nodded. "Come on, let's go get you some asprin."
Douglas smiled and started to follow her, but he knew that asprin couldn't solve his problems. He woke up naked in another woman's bed. It could mean nothing... but how possible is that? He could have cheated on Alessi and he can't remember anything.
He need to talk to Lorelai.
Did Douglas actually cheat on his wife?
Will Alessi ever find out about her husbands's night of fun?
Will Lorelai ever stop being depressed?
All will be revealed in the next episode of... CHEATERVILLE!
