A Different Kind of FamilyTwo?
It was a beautiful August day in Connecticut. In the small town of Star's Hollow, everyone was out and about. On this particular day, Luke Danes and his fiancé Lorelai Gilmore were moving into their new home. Everyone had watch the couple flirt for eight years before they finally got together. Needless to say everyone was happy that they were getting married, and, in new magazine stand news, having a baby. Everything was perfect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Raleigh, North Carolina, things were a little different. In the small Leesville community, a local was tragically killed in a car accident. She was a single mother to a set of twins named Matthew and Maria. Matthew and Maria had never met their father, and didn't particularly want to. Especially when it seemed that he didn't want to meet them. They knew that he would be contacted though; they had nowhere else to go. They were only fifteen so they couldn't live by themselves. Uncle Lance, their mother's only sibling, was in prison, and their grandparents were living in a nursing home. So, the father they had never met was their only option. They just had to hope they he would want them.
"Last box." Lorelai said exhausted, plopping down on the couch. "I can't believe that we're finally done! I have to say I was beginning to think that we would never finish." Lorelai said looking at Luke who was now seated beside her.
"Well, if you didn't have so much stuff, it would have been a lot easier and quicker to move our stuff in here." Luke told her.
"Yeah, well…" Lorelai started then trailed.
"That's what I thought." Luke said with a smirk.
"So, what would you like to do on the first night in our new big house?" Lorelai asked suggestively.
"Hmm." Luke said pretending to think. "I can think of a few things." He said giving her a kiss.
The kiss heated up and Lorelai was soon on top of him, unbuckling his belt. Just as Luke was taking Lorelai's shirt off, Luke's cell phone started ringing.
"Ignore it." Lorelai demanded.
"I can't. Hardly anyone knows the number, and they know only to call my cell phone if it's emergency. Well, everyone that is except you." He said opening his phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello is this Lucas Danes?"
"Yes, this is Lucas Danes."
Lorelai giggled, and Luke rolled his eyes.
"Mr. Danes did you know a Samantha Estavez?"
"Um, yeah. She was my ex-girlfriend. Is something wrong?"
"She died in a car accident last night."
"Oh I'm sorry. What does this have to do with me?"
"I'm Samantha's Attorney, I was going over her will and she said that the children should be left their father."
"Uh huh."
"Which is you sir."
"Wait, what? Their mine? How can I have two?" Oh my god! How can this be happening? I'm already a father to two children and fiancé is pregnant with another.
"Their twins. They are fifteen years old. Their names are Matthew and Maria. I assume you didn't know about them?"
"No. I didn't." Last time I saw her was sixteen years ago so that fits. Oh my god. I have two kids.
"Mr. Danes, I understand that this is all very sudden for you. But the children have nowhere to go."
"Could I call you back, in say ten minutes? I need to discuss this with my fiancé."
"Yes that would fine. The number is 919 847-7114."
"Okay thanks." He hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Lorelai asked.
"An attorney who called to tell me that my Ex-girlfriend died and left behind a set of twins who are apparently mine." Luke said quietly.
"Oh my god! Wow, this is, this is unbelievable!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Yeah I know. But I gotta call back in ten minutes to tell her attorney if I can take them or not." Luke said.
"You're gonna take them. I know you are. You would never leave a child, let alone two children, to fend for themselves." Lorelai says to him.
"That would be okay? I mean they're not yours. Wouldn't that be weird?" Luke asked concerned.
"Hey, if you could do it with Rory I can do it with your kids." Lorelai told him.
"Okay." He said.
"So, tell me what do you know about them?"
"Well, their names are Matthew and Maria," Luke starts.
"Good names." Lorelai adds nodding.
"And they're fifteen." He finishes.
"Is that it?" She asks.
"Yeah." He says looking down.
"Well, don't worry you'll get to know them. Now call back that attorney and make the arrangements okay? I'm gonna go and get in my pajamas." Lorelai announced.
"Okay. You're the best." Luke tells her giving her a kiss.
"I know." She says with a smirk, then gets up and heads upstairs.
Luke picks up the phone and then dials.
"Mira Danning, Attorney."
"Hello, Ms. Danning? This is Luke Danes, we spoke earlier on the phone?"
"Ah yes Mr. Danes. Did you make a decision on what you're going to do?"
"Yes. I want them. Matthew and Maria."
"Good. I am so pleased, now will you be picking them up?"
"Uh, sure. What's the address of where they're staying?"
"Oh wait first you must get a paternity test. I suggest doing that down here. It would be quicker. Then you come get them."
"Okay sounds good. So where do I need to go for the paternity test?"
"It's 3514 Atlantic Ave. Now, when can you come? Would tomorrow work for you?"
"Yes tomorrow would be good. What time should I be there?"
"How about 3:00? Does that work?"
"3:00 it is. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Have a nice evening."
"You too."
As Luke hung up the phone, Lorelai descended the stairs dressed in a flannel shirt and some pajama pants.
"Hey babe. So when do you meet them?" Lorelai asked.
"Tomorrow. I have to drive down to North Carolina for a paternity test, if it's true that they're mine I'll bring them home." He said quietly.
"Wow. Tomorrow. That's really soon." Lorelai said surprised.
"Yeah, they don't have anywhere to go, so they want me to come and get them as soon as possible." He explained.
"Oh." Lorelai answered. "Hey, you should probably take the jeep. If you bring them home it would be kinda uncomfortable to have all three of you sitting in the truck like that." Lorelai suggested.
"Yeah." He said, his expression unflappable.
"Hey," Lorelai said putting her arm around him. "Do you want me to come with you?"
"Well I don't know it'll be hard enough for them to meet me for the first time, let alone two people." He said.
"Yeah you're right." Lorelai replied a little stung.
"But, it might be nice for them to go ahead and meet you, I mean they are going to meet you eventually." Luke told her enthusiastically.
"Yeah they are. Plus I want to be there for you. I know how hard it's gonna be, and I want to help you." She told him lovingly.
"I know thanks." He said smiling at her.
"Your welcome." She said returning the smile and giving him a kiss.
"You know I thinking that maybe we should wait and christen the house another night." Luke said sighing.
"Yeah." Lorelai said. "However since we might have teenagers here we might not have a night alone." Lorelai told him.
"Hmm that's true." Luke thought for a second. "Maybe we should only christen the bedroom." He said smiling.
"Good idea." Lorelai said with an equally large smile.
TBCWell, I hope you like this so far. I am very interested to see how this will all play out. Please please review!
