Lorelai walked with her children to Luke's diner very early in the morning. Lorelai didn't want to be up yet, but Michaela, Dylan and Dakota had to go to school. And as for Alyson, she was always an early bird.

"Daddy!" Dylan called as he ran over to hug his father.

"Daddy!" Dakota, Alyson and Michaela cried.

"Hello, kids!" Luke exclaimed. He always liked it when he got to see his children before they went to school.

"Luke. Coffee. Now." Lorelai said. She really needed coffee.

"Okay. One second." Luke said.

"Ommy." Alyson called as Lorelai looked down at her.

"Ya Aly?"

"Up." Alyson stated. Lorelai bent down and picked up Alyson.

"Mommy." Dakota called.

"What is it?"

"Up." Dakota exclaimed.

"Okay I guess holding two of you at one time isn't a big deal." Lorelai bent down and placed Dakota on her other hip.

"Mommy" Dylan called.

"Please don't tell me you want up. I'm out of hips." Lorelai exclaimed.

Dylan just held up his arms. As if to say "up". Lorelai set Alyson and Dakota down on stools. She picked up Dylan and set him down on a stool.

"Where's Rory." Luke asked.

"She said that she was going to meet me here." Lorelai said.

"Oh okay."

"This is the last week of school before summer vacation. There's finals and everything. She's just freaking out."

"That's normal. Last year it was even worse." Luke said.

"I know but it's still not healthy.' Lorelai said.

Miachela started talking to Alyson. Dylan wanted to be part of the conversation so he started talking, too. Dakota just didn't want to feel left out, she started talking, too.

"Wow, four kids can be loud." Luke exclaimed. With a hint of sarcasm in his words. But just a hint.

"I know. But I always wanted a big family. And that's just what I got." Lorelai said. Luke smiled and leaned over the counter to kiss her.

Michaela cleared her throat.

"Yes, hun?" Lorelai asked.

"Oh, nevermind." Michaela said. Michaela started to sit on a stool.

"Do you need help?" Lorelai asked.

"No. I think I can do it." Michaela said.

"Okay."

The bell above the diner rang out. Lorelai looked over to the door and saw Rory walk through the door.

"Hey mom. Hey Luke." Rory said as she walked in the door.

"Hey, sweetie. Do you have time to sit and eat with us?" Lorelai asked. Rory never seemed to be having a lot of time on her hands lately.

"Sure, why not." Rory said.

Lorelai brought all of her kids over to a table. She didn't like sitting at the counter when her whole family could sit together at a table.

"What does everybody want?" Luke asked.

"Pancakes and orange juice, please." Micheala said.

"Me too!" Dylan said.

"Me too!" Dakota said.

"O-meal!" Alyson exclaimed.

"Oatmeal? Are you sure?" Lorelai asked.

Alyson nodded.

"Okay, Oatmeal it is. But, I'll have pancakes, scrambled eggs and coffee." Lorelai said.

"I'll have what mom's having." Rory said.

"Okay I'll be right back. I'll come eat with you." Luke said.

"Okay, good." Lorelai said.

Lorelai observed her family. Alyson had moved onto Rory's lap. Rory was teaching Alyson and how to play patty-cake. Dakota was helping Rory. Michaela and Dylan were playing rock paper scissors. Lorelai couldn't help but notice how happy her whole family was, including her. She couldn't help but feel that this was right. Being here, was where she was meant to be.

Luke sat down next to Lorelai and gave her a light kiss.

"What are you kids doing today?" Luke asked.

"My class is going to a fire station on a field trip." Michaela said.

"My teacher said that we could play outside, really long today." Dylan bragged.

"I fingerpainting." Dakota said.

"I have a math exam and a history exam." Rory said.

"And Aly is going to come to the Inn with me." Lorelai said. Finishing off the routine that they do every morning.

They finished breakfast and Rory headed off to the bus stop.

"I'll see you at home." Luke said.

"Love you." Lorelai said.

"Love you too." Luke said.

"Okay kids. It's time to go to school. Get all of your stuff... Now Michaela you hold onto Dylan's hand. Dylan you hold onto Michaela and Dakota's hand. Alyson you hold onto Micheala's other hand... No Alyson. Michaela's other hand. ...The one that's not already holding Dylan's hand... Okay there we go. And we're off." Lorelai said. After getting the kids to hold eachothers hands.

Lorelai held onto Alyson's hand and started walked across the street. The school was right next to Stars Hollow High. Lorelai dropped off her three older children at school.

Lorelai picked up Alyson and walked towards her van. Her jeep wouldn't fit all of her kids so she had to trade in her jeep. She buckled Alyson into her car seat and drove towards the Independance Inn.

Lorelai and Alyson walked into the Independance Inn.

"Mommy's not going to be working here for much longer." Lorelai said to Alyson.

Alyson gave her a questioning look.

"Mommy's opening her own Inn."

"Illy?" (meaning really?)

"Yes."

Alyson smiled.

"Let's go see Aunty Sookie." Lorelai said. Lorelai walked towards the kitchen.

"Aun Ookie!" Alyson exclaimed when she saw Sookie.

"Aly! How are you doing today?"

"Ood."

"That's good."

"Hey Sookie." Lorelai said.

"Hey Lorelai."

Sookie walked over to a cupboard and took out a cookie.

"Sookie. It's only 9 in the morning. You're already giving her sweets?"

"She's my goddaughter. I can spoil her a little bit."

"But that's not the only child of mine that you have spoiled."

"But I'm their Auntie. I can spoil them a little. Right Aly?"

Alyson nodded. She had cookies in her mouth.

"Okay, Alyson. It's time we get to work. I'll see you later Sookie."

"Okay. See ya later." Sookie said.

Alyson ran over to her mom and lifted up her arms.

"Okay. I'll hold you."

Alyson smiled as her mom picked her up. She rested her head on Lorelai's shoulder.

"Okay, sweetie-pie. Do you want to bring your coloring books out here and color?"

Alyson nodded.

"Okay. Let's go get them." Lorelai said.

Lorelai walked into an office area and took Alyson's coloring books out of a drawer. She handed the crayons to Alyson. They got back out to the front desk and Michel was standing at the front desk talking on the phone.

"Who was that?" Lorelai asked after she set up Alyson at her little table behind the desk.

"It was that Dashresons' making sure that their reservation was for next weekend."

"Okay." Lorelai said.

Later that day at the Gilmore residence...

It was 6:30 and Luke was cooking supper.

"I'm hungry. When's supper going to be ready?" Rory asked.

"Soon."

"Can you be any more specific?"

"I'd say 5-10 minutes max."

"Good. Studying makes me hungry."

"Take a break from studying. Go help your mom and siblings set up the movie."

"Are you just saying that so I won't keep bothering you."

"That and so that you stop studying. Even if it's only for a few minutes." Luke said.

"Fine I'm going." Rory said.

Luke finished cooking supper and they all ate at the kitchen table. After that they all retired to the living room to watch "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"

"Oompa Loompa's!" Dakota exclaimed. She loved oompa Loompa's.

"You are so your mother's daughter!" Lorelai exclaimed.

"Me aughter?" Alyson asked.

"Yes. You're my daughter, too. And so is Michaela and Rory. Dylan's my son though." Lorelai explained.

"O." Alyson said.

Alyson fell asleep on Lorelai's. Dylan fell asleep on Rory's. Dakota fell asleep with her head on Lorelai and her feet on Luke. Micheala didn't fall asleep she kept watching the movie, right to the end.

"Okay Michaela. It's time for bed." Luke said when the movie ended.

"Okay. Goodnight mom, goodnight dad, goodnight Rory."

"Goodnight Michaela." All three of them said.

Lorelai brought Alyson and Dakota to bed. They shared a room. Rory brought Dylan to bed, who shared a room with Michaela. Rory went to bed, she got her own room.

Lorelai carried Alyson and Dakota to bed. Trying not to wake them. Alyson didn't wake up, but Dakota did. Lorelai set her down. Lorelai got them into their pajama's. She tucked both of them into bed. Kissed them goodnight and then walked into her room.

Luke did the same with Dylan. Luke walked back into his room.

"A hectic day." Luke said.

"Everyday is a hectic day when you have 5 kids." Lorelai said.

"I wanted 2 kids. But I'm happy with the 5 I've got." Luke said.

"I wanted 22 kids. But 5 is okay for me." Lorelai said.

"I thought you were kidding when you said you wanted 22 kids." Luke exclaimed.

"No, I really wanted 22 kids." Lorelai said seriously. "But 5's okay. Maybe when they get older we can have 1 or 2 more."

"That will definately be a discussion for later." Luke said, knowing how much Lorelai wanted a big family.

"It definately will be."

And with that Luke turned off the lights. And they both fell asleep.

A/N: So what do you think? Do you like it? Hate it? Should I even continue? It was just an idea that was in my head for awhile.

A/N 2: Michaela is pranounced: Mi-Kayla.

A/N 3: They still live in Lorelai's house. They just expanded it.
