Chapter 1 : Sunset, food, and talk

A/N: This is my second story. My other one is called Time, I had a brain block for that story and this one has been written in my notebook for a while. So I hope this one gets more reviews then my other one.

A/N2: This takes place well I don't know when but Rory is fourteen, and Lorelai and Luke have been together since Rory was ten. They are already engaged but do not have a date set.

Disclaimer: Don't own, it is a shame but I think I will get over it in time.

He took her hand an led her to the secluded spot. When they arrived he took the blind fold off her so she was able to see what he had set up.

The sight was beautiful, it was on top of a hill, over looking the ocean and a beautiful sunset. There was a blanket with a nice picnic set up on it and candles surrounding.

"Oh, Luke it's beautiful." Lorelai said on the verge of tears.

"Well, I thought you and I seemed to be drifting apart so I thought we could come here and talk things out." Luke said as he wrapped his arm around her waist and kissing the top of her head.

She gave him a hug and said "That's a wonderful idea." She then gave him a peck on the lips.

"Come on lets go sit." He said taking her hand and leading her to the blanket.

They sat down facing the sunset, Lorelai sat down between his legs and leaned up against his chest.

"So Luke, how long have you been planning this." Lorelai asks breaking the long but not awkward silence. It was a nice silence, they just sit and listen to one another's steady breathing.

"Well, ever since April came into my life I felt bad that I hadn't seen ou as much. So when I saw how distant you were getting I decided to make it up to you."

"Well thank you. But I didn't think you noticed how much how I missed you." Lorelai replied looking up at him.

They are both talking the same tone, not mad, it is more of a sincere conversation with them both getting there concerns, and feelings about the situation.

"What do you mean, of course I noticed, you weren't smiling as much and you were just not being your normal exuberant self."

"Really? I thought I was hiding it well enough. I didn't want to get in the way of you and April getting to know each other."

Luke looks down and smiles he then said "I have always been able to tell when something is wrong. Just like you can tell something is bothering me. That is one of the reasons I love you so much." Luke leans down and kisses her forehead. Which causes Lorelai to smirk.

"I still thought I was hiding it well. But all I wanted was to meet April, it seems everyone in town has met her except me." (A/N: Anna told Luke about her right away, but he has only spent time with her like twice a week. April is four by the way.)

Lorelai has turned around and is staring into his eyes. Their hands have not unlocked since Luke brought her out from the truck. They just like the feeling of there fingers intertwined and would stay that way forever if they could.

" I know but I was just waiting for the perfect time. April is only four and I think that it might confuse her, but I know that isn't an excuse which is why I set it up for us all to spend the day together next week."

"Really?" Lorelai asks with the most hopeful look in her eyes.

"Yep, I love you and I want you to be apart of her life, as well as April should be apart of your life. She will need to meet you seeing as you will be her step-mom."

"Oh, Luke I love you too."

They kiss. Lorelai turns back around to her sitting position between Luke's legs. Luke instinctively wraps his arms around her and puts his chin on top of her head. They sit like this for a while and when the sun was almost all the way down they began to eat. The both realize while they are eating that this was going to work even though the wedding date is still in question...
