A/N: Another story! I think I might carry this on… I'm not entirely sure. We'll have to see how it goes. :D So, here it is. Enjoy!

Luke stared at Lorelai. Did she really say what he thought she said?

"Will you marry me?" Lorelai repeated herself. Luke hadn't responded her this time, so she started to go into a tangent. "Ok, that may have sounded weird. I'm not looking for something to shut you up like you did to me some years back, but I'm sincerely doing this. I mean, you with your speech of how you want to help Rory so bad. You're a father to her. No doubt about it. You – you are the most amazing person in the world and I can't believe it took me this long to realize it.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You're it. You're the one I've been waiting for. The whole package. I am madly in love with you and want only to be your wife." She paused and giggled slightly. "Usually this kind of thing scares me, but I'm am so unafraid it's freaky. But I know that you're the one I want to come home to every night." She stopped and looked down at her shoes. "Ok, rant over." She raised her head to look at him but he wasn't standing where he was before. Lorelai heard the bell on the door ring and turned to see Luke walking outside. She stood up and faltered before walking outside to see where he went.

When she stepped out the door she saw Luke over by Taylor talking about something. As she came closer, she started hearing the words. "Damn it, Taylor, give it back to me! You said I had three days to make my final decision. It's made. This is it. I want it."

"But, Luke, you already backed out –"

"I changed my mind! Can't you do that in the three day period?"

Taylor sighed. "How do I know you won't back out again?"

"I won't. This is it. I was angry earlier, I'm not anymore. Give me the house back!"

Lorelai slightly shook her head. House? What house? What are they talking about?

"Fine, Luke," Taylor said exasperatedly, "you have the house. If you back out again…"

"I won't." Luke held out his hand to seal the deal. He shook Taylor's hand and turned toward the diner again. He stopped when he saw Lorelai standing in the middle of the road with a very confused look on her face. "Whoops," he heard Taylor say under his breath. He ignored the old man and walked over to her. "Hey," he said.

"Um…why did you just get a house from Taylor?" Lorelai asked.

"Well…I bought it."

"You don't like your apartment?"

"I like it fine, it's just….not big enough."

"What? Do you need an ultimate bachelor pad or something?" Lorelai still wasn't making any connections to why he bought a house.

"No, it's not big enough for a…family."

That word shocked Lorelai. "A family? What house are we talking about?"

"The Twickham house," Luke said quietly.

"The Twi- um, ok. So, then, who would be living in this house with you?"

"Me, you, and maybe kids later on."

"Us? You bought us a house?" Lorelai was even more confused when he said that. He hadn't even talked to her about anything.

"Yes."

"For us and…" She finally made the connection. "'What about the kids.' Oh. I got it." She smiled at him. Then her smile quickly dropped. "Wait. I thought you didn't like kids."

"I didn't."

"Now you do?" Everything he was doing was confusing her.

"I told you awhile ago that if I met the right person, I'd talk about having kids."

"Yeah, so?" There was silence before she finally glanced down at the ground and smirked. She looked up and said, "Am I that person?"

Luke nodded slightly and stepped in closer. "You've always been."

Lorelai grinned as tears started to fill her eyes. "Then, will you?"

He smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "No," he said softly.

She pulled back from him and said, "Oh, ok, I guess it just isn't the right time."

"Lorelai," Luke said.

"No, you're right, it's too soon, and I shouldn't be thinking about getting married when I have my daughter to worry about even though she says she doesn't need help."

"Lorelai!"

"What?"

"Will you marry me?"

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. Look, I said no because I wanted to ask you. I want to be the man in this thing, here."

Lorelai's lips curved into a smile before it spread into a wide grin. "You sneaky little…"

"What do you say?"

"I can't believe you bought the Twickham house."

"That's really funny, Lorelai. I meant about the proposal."

"Which one? Mine or yours?"

"Mine, of course," Luke said.

Lorelai wrapped her arms around his neck, stared into his deep blue eyes and said. "Yes. I will marry you."

"Good," he said before leaning foreword to kiss her. He broke away from her lips and said, "Oh, I almost forgot…Stay right here." He quickly walked into the diner, leaving Lorelai in the middle of the street.

"Um…" She looked at Taylor and said, "Hey, how's it going?" She started to look at all the bikers coming in.

"LATE!" Taylor shouted at a young girl who fell off her bike just short of the finish line. "What are you doing just standing there? Why don't you just finish the race!"

Lorelai heard the diner bell and turned toward the sound. She saw Luke coming from the diner with a balled up fist. When he came up to her he was grinning like a fool. "What are you smiling about?" She asked.

"Well, you know it's customary when someone gets engaged that the girl gets a ring."

She smiled. "Luke, I don't need a ring."

"Too bad, you're getting one. See, my mom gave me her engagement ring before she died. She told me that when I fell in love and dreamed of spending the rest of my life with that woman, to give her this ring." He held up the ring and the diamond started to sparkle in the light from the street lamp.

"Luke…" Lorelai said softly, but couldn't finish her sentence.

He smiled at her. "You're that woman, Lorelai. I am in love with you and I dream of spending the rest of my life with you. I want you to wear this not to remind you that you're engaged, but to remind you that you have someone who is deeply in love with you and wants to spend the rest of his life making your life perfect." He slipped it onto her left ring finger and kissed her hand. He looked up at her and wiped away the tears that were falling down her cheeks. "I love you, Lorelai."

"I love you, too, Luke." He kissed her and wrapped his arms around her. "My God, you say the most amazing things." She placed a kiss on his neck and said, "You have me so enraptured with you, it's wonderful."

"What do you say we go upstairs and celebrate," Luke said in her ear.

Lorelai laughed and said, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

They made their way upstairs and made love all night. When the finally fell asleep in the early morning, Lorelai was on cloud nine. She wasn't thinking of anything else but the fact that the arms of her fiancé were wrapped around her body. Nothing could ruin that moment. Suddenly, she heard a noise coming from the living room. It was her cell phone.

A/N: I could make this a one-parter, but I think I might continue this one to see what happens. I hope I remain committed to this story. I'll make sure people keep me on it. Review please!
