Lorelai peered down at the pink blanket in her arms.
Arabella Rose Danes. After nine long months of waiting, the newest baby finally made her debut. However, when she looked over at Luke, she saw Arabella's twin brother, William Lucas Danes sleeping peacefully in his father's arms.
It was no surprise that Luke and Lorelai decided to finally expand their family. After all, they did have two daughters already, and their love needed to multiply.
The only thing missing from this picture were April and Rory. Rory was working in Washington with the Washington Post, and April was in New Mexico finishing her junior year of high school.
"I can't believe they're finally here. We have a little Luke and a little Lorelai." Lorelai said, breaking the silence.
"I know." Luke smiled.
After that, Emily and Richard came in, bearing gifts and smiles that can only be described as blissful.
"Can I hold my newest granddaughter?"
"Sure, Mom."
Lorelai handed Arabella off to her grandmother and watched the sweet moment with tears in her eyes.
"Richard, would you like to hold Will?"
"Of course."
"You know, the only things missing from this moment are Rory and April." Lorelai piped
"I know. I hate that they can't be here with us right now."
Rory had held a strong job at the Washington Post for almost a year now. After Obama was elected president, the Post picked her up. April was still living in New Mexico with Anna, but she was set for a trip to visit her new siblings soon.
"I can't believe they're ours."
The moments felt after that were rare of in the Gilmore-Danes house.
A few days later, Luke and Lorelai brought the twins home, and it seemed like everyone in Stars Hollow wanted to meet them. As much as the doting parents loved the people in the their town, they needed time to bond with their kids.
The first night home was a mess. Whenever one twin was down, the other was up and at it, needing a diaper change or to be fed. In the middle of the chaos, the phone rang.
"I got it!" Lorelai said.
"Mom?"
"Rory! How are you doing?"
"I feel lousy. I can't be there to help you out."
"Aw, babe. It's okay. Only a few more weeks until you are off, so that will be okay. Plus, the babies are fine. Luke and I are stressed to the max, but we are fine.."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Okay. I love you, and I miss you!"
"Love you, too. See you in a few weeks."
Meanwhile, Luke was on his cell phone.
"Hey, Lorelai?"
"Yeah, babe?"
"Sookie wants to know if she and Jackson could come over in about an hour? "
"Of course! Tell her to come on over!"
After Luke put his cell phone down, he came over to Lorelai.
"You okay?"
"Stressed, but okay. I hope they like me."
"What's there not to love about you, though? It may have taken me eight years to figure that out, but it sure won't take them that long. You're amazing in every way. You're their mother, of course they're going to like you."
"And that is why I have you."
As chaotic her world seemed to be at the moment, the reassurance from Luke did Lorelai enough justice to keep on trucking.
