Disclaimer – Nope, don't own Gilmore Girls If I did we would have gotten here a lot sooner!

A/N – Okay this is a future fic with flashbacks. It was an idea that just kind of popped into my head. Hope you like it.

Bronwyn Danes climbed the steps to her small New Haven apartment. Her keys clanging in her hand as she fiddled with the lock. Before she could get it unlocked the door opened from the inside.

"Hey baby," The tall well dressed dark haired man smiled. Spencer Phillips was a banker from New Haven and the moment he had laid eyes on Winnie Danes he had known she was the one. They had been together four months and Spence planned on proposing Christmas Eve. They were serious to say the least and yet Winnie still had not introduced him to her family.

"Hey," Winnie collapsed into his arms and they fell into the apartment together.

"How was work?"

"Long, I couldn't convince the Eiders to buy the Stringbourne place and if I don't sell it soon, I'll lose all of my credit"

"Don't say that Bronwyn, you and I both know that you're at the top of your game." Winnie punched him playfully in the chest.

"When did you get here?" Winnie asked changing the subject.

"About an hour ago, I left a little early so we could spend some time together before I leave." Winnie nodded in acknowledgment. She pulled a pamphlet for Chinese out of the cupboard and began to look through it.

"Your mom called." Spence added and Winnie froze in place.

"She seemed kind of well how should I say this, surprised to hear me on the other end of the phone."

"She did?"

"Yes, She did. Bronwyn?" Spence had always called her by her full name he thought Winnie sounded too childish and unprofessional.

"Alright, I haven't exactly told my mom…or any of my family about you."

"Why not?" Spence had a look of confusion on his face but not disappointment.

"I don't know, my dad gets so protective, he practically got arrested for threatening my first boyfriend. He's crazy like that, and my moms just plain crazy." He said nothing.

"Look," Winnie slid onto his lap and let her hand brush through his hair. "I'm going home tomorrow for Josh's birthday I'll tell them all about you then."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Okay, I guess that'll have to do."

"Hey hey I promise to make it up to you as soon as you get back."

"Why can't you make it up to me now?" he lowered his lips to her neck and tickled her sides at the same time.

Flashback

"Daddy," A tiny voice cried and Luke didn't even open his eyes, he lifted the blanket and his youngest child climbed into the bed. Luke wrapped his arms around her little body and pulled her into him. Never really walking up.

Five hours later Lorelai felt the sun warm her cheeks as she opened her eyes. Her hand stretched out beside her landed on the strong back of her husband. She rolled over, slinging her arm over his side and smiling at the feeling of her baby girl huddled asleep into his chest.

"Why does she always go to you, Josh always came to me."

"Maybe Winnie just likes me better."

"Well maybe Josh liked me better."

Luke brushed Winnie's hair back.

"That girl is so in love with you." Lorelai joined her husband's hand in her baby's hair.

"Yeah well the feeling is more than mutual." Luke had been thrilled to death when they had found out Lorelai was having a boy, he had been nervous of course but he was so looking forward to doing all those father and son things that he had seen Jackson and Davie doing these things. Then when they had put his daughter into his arms that sweet little baby girl his heart had melted in an entirely different way then it had with Josh. With Josh he had felt this odd sense of pride and responsibility and love of course. With Winnie it had been a distracting sense of protectiveness a sense that he had to keep all of the bad things in the world away from her.

"Your such a softy," Lorelai pulled the blankets back and climbed out of bed. She pulled one of Luke's sweatshirts over her head and trudged into the bathroom.

Luke disengaged from his three year old and followed Lorelai who had exited the bathroom down the stairs.

Five-year old Josh was sitting on the couch with a bowl of cereal and the clicker in his lap.

"Morning mommy," Josh spoke without turning his head from the television.

"He is turning more into you every day." Luke sighed.

Lorelai was about to make a comment when she walked into the kitchen and saw the disaster that had occurred.

"Aww he tried to cook, sure you don't want to take that back." Lorelai smirked.

"He tried to cook Lorelai, key word being tried."

Lorelai gasped, "I'm hurt Luke, I am physically and emotionally hurt." She playfully hit him.

"Josh!" Luke called and a minute later the young boy in Spiderman pajamas twisted around his waist came walking into the kitchen, a look reserved solely for his mother plastered onto his face.

"Yes?"

"Did you do this?" Luke asked.

"I just wanted to make mommy breakfast." Luke knew his wife was about to crack so he stepped in immediately.

"Go turn the television off and come help me clean up."

"But,"

"No but's Josh go on."

"Mommy," Josh peered up at his mother and after a second she turned to Luke.

"Luke,"

"Lorelai!" Luke eyed his wife and she succumbed. Josh stomped back into the living room and Lorelai had to smile.

"Come on Luke don't tell me that wasn't the cutest thing you have ever seen."

"That boy has got you wrapped around his finger."

"Oh hush,"

End Flashback

Winnie threw a couple of things in a duffel bag and jumped into her car, almost right after she got onto the highway her phone r

"Bronwyn Danes," She answered.

"I hate it when you do that, it doesn't sound like you."

"What's up Rory?"

"Are you coming home for Josh's birthday?"

"Of course I am, I'm actually on my way right now. Why?"

"Cause Logan and I were going to pick you up, but if you're already on your way I guess it's too late."

"Well thanks for the offer Rory,"

"No problem, so… you coming alone?"

"Yeeess, why?"

"No reason" Rory replied quicker than she should have.

"She told you didn't she?"

"She's thirteen Winnie, and her aunt has a hot new boyfriend of course she told me. The question is why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know he's not exactly, well he's not what mom would say was a perfect man, or anything close to what mom has pictured for me."

"Really?" Rory was now fully interested.

"Really, he's a suit Ror, "

"You're kidding, I never would have put you with a suit, do you love him?" The fact that Winnie had grown up in a loving household with two parents had not changed the fact that she had inherited the Gilmore denial of love.

After a silence Rory spoke again, "Sorry, so how did Lily find out?"

"You remember when I took her to my office to get that interview for her report, Spence showed up with lunch."

"Spence,"

"Spencer Ryan he's a banker."

"Oh my gosh Winnie, mom is going to freak!" Rory couldn't contain her laughter.

"Oh shut up, you don't even know him. I'm hanging up Rory, I'll see you at home."

"Yeah, bye Win!" Winnie heard her older sister's laughs continue as she hung up. Her family would just have to learn to deal with it. Spencer was a part of her life and he was therefore a part of theirs.

"They'll deal." Winnie told herself, but she couldn't really believe it.
