Summery: This takes place after the seventh season ended. Luke and Lorelai are back on and Rory is still on the campaign trail following Barack Obama. It starts out when Rory comes home for Thanksgiving.

"Guess what?" Lorelai asked Sookie excitedly.

"What?" Sookie replied flatly.

"Rory's coming home this afternoon!" Lorelai shrieked. She hadn't seen Rory for two months, and she couldn't hold back the stimulation.

"Good. I'm glad," Sookie answered very unenthusiastically.

"Come on Sookie, what's wrong?" Lorelai asked.

"Well, it's the baby. She's due any second, and I have no idea what to do. We used up all the names on Martha, so I don't know what to do," Sookie said sadly.

"Maybe you should make up a name, you know like all the celebrities do. Or, you could always name her Lorelai," Lorelai told her. "Anyway, I should get going to the airport to pick up Rory. See you later,"

"Yeah, yeah" Sookie answered back.

Lorelai rushed home to get Luke. She wanted him to come so Rory would know they're doing well and won't read into him not coming. Rory was very protective of her mother and Luke's relationship and would help anyway she could. Lorelai didn't always want Rory's help.

"Luke! Let's go! Rory will be at the airport in three hours and twenty minutes, and I don't want to be late!" Lorelai yelled up the stairs. Luke came down the stairs looking annoyed.

"We're going to be three hours early," Luke said impatiently. Lorelai gave him a hard, icy look. "But whatever makes you happy."

"Yes! My looks always work on you! Let's move on out!" Lorelai grabbed her bag and ran to her Jeep.

When they got to the airport, they realized Rory's plane was delayed. It would arrive at 4:00 pm, not 3:00. "Oh, goody, here for an extra hour," Luke said.

They sat down on a bench next to the baggage claim where Rory was going to meet them.

"Hey, Lorelai," Luke said hesitantly. "As long as Rory's here, why don't we elope to Maryland, like we were going to. I mean April is here visiting too, so why not? We have everyone we need."

"Oh Luke," Lorelai was so pleased at the thought that Luke really wanted to get married. "I think that would be great." She leaned forward a kissed him. She was so happy.

By the time Rory's flight got in, Luke and Lorelai had already planned out their elope to Maryland. They used an airport computer to book a hotel and found a chapel to get married in. They were both so excited. They were going to get Rory, then April, go home, pack, and leave by six. They walked back to baggage claim just in time to see Rory walking down. "Mom!" Rory yelled down to them.

"Hey kid!" Lorelai said as she ran to go hug Rory.

"Hey Rory," Luke said to Rory as Rory hugged him.

"It's so good to see you guys!" Rory said eagerly. "I can't believe I'm finally home!"

They picked up Rory's bags and walked out to the car. They told Rory about their plans to elope, knowing she would try to talk them out of it.

"Wow, um, are you sure you want to rush into this?" Rory said concerned.

"It's the perfect time! We have you and April here, and we have been together a few months. Things are going really good, Rory, don't be worried," Lorelai told her.

"Okay, let's do it."

They got to the diner, and Luke ran upstairs to get April. Luke found her on her bed reading a book. "Hey April," Luke said to her.

"What's up dad?" April asked. She sat up and put her book to the side. "Something wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong," Luke told her. "Well, Lorelai and I have decided to elope tonight. Since you and Rory are here, you guys will come you see us."

"Really? You're going to get married? That's great!" April said. Luke was surprised by her enthusiasm.

"Great! Take your bags down to the car and we'll be on our way." Luke told her.

Half an hour later, after Lorelai packed all of her "necessities", they headed to Maryland. Almost out of Connecticut, Lorelai's cell phone rang. It was Jackson.

"Lorelai! Sookie's gone into labor, she's in the hospital now," Jackson said, sounding tired, "She's panicking! She says she isn't ready."

Lorelai had forgotten Sookie was due soon. "Jackson calm down tell I said everything will be fine, and I'll be there when we get back from Maryland."

"Lorelai, can't you come? Sookie needs you, you're always there when she having the baby. Please!"

So this was the first chapter, I know, not very exciting, YET! More to come! This is my first story, be nice.
