Wedding Day – 6:00 a.m.
An uproar swept through the town on the day of the wedding. Not a soul in the town was not anxiously awaiting the day that they had all waited for the past nine years. Scattered about the town all were trying in vein to keep their anxious bodies at bay but with the upcoming festivities in less than six hours, who on Earth could still be asleep?
The morning was still young when he heard a commotion downstairs. With his hands he felt the warm figure of a still sleeping Lorelai in front of him and only managed to pull himself from her knowing that today was the day that they were to be married and Lorelai was one superstitious woman. Pulling himself to the side of the bed he lazily yawned and stretched his arms toward the ceiling, a smile growing on his face from ear to ear. Slightly maneuvering himself so that he partly covered her he managed to kiss her, his heart soaring as she murmured his name, still off in dreamland. "I love you." He whispered, letting his hand smooth out her crazy bed hair. Watching as she rolled over to sprawl across the bed he got dressed with last night's clothes and tiptoed out the door, leaving a smiling Lorelai in his wake.
With his shoes in tow he was not surprised that Rory was the one downstairs making the commotion. Smiling he watched as with her eyes still closed she tried unsuccessfully to locate the coffee.
"You have to open your eyes." He smirked.
"Luke?" She asked, turning in his direction.
"Sit down, I'll make your coffee." Mumbling a thank you she made her way over to the table where he heard her plop down. "Your just like your mother." He said, his back still turned to her. Starting the coffee he was startled to see that her eyes were now wide open and she was staring him down. "What?" He asked self-consciously, looking down at himself.
"Nothing, it's just-"
"It's just what?" He asked, taking a seat at the table beside her.
"You're gonna be my dad in about five and a half hours." Startled by her words he remained silent for a moment. "Well not my biological dad or anything." She explained quickly. "You'll just be Luke, you know but my step-dad. A step-dad who has been here more than my real dad and I didn't mean to-"
"I know what you meant." He interrupted, finally looking at her. "And I'm flattered."
"Well it's the truth." She replied, looking shyly down at the table. "You've always been there for us Luke. No matter what you have always been there."
"And I always will be." He assured her, his heart wrenching in joy at her words and pure disgust at the man who had not been around.
"I know…" She trailed, looking back up to him. "And we love you for it." She said sincerely, tears swelling in her eyes. "I love you for it."
"I love you too Rory." He smiled, startled when she shot towards him and wrapped him in a tight hug. Without hesitation he wrapped his arms around her lovingly as she fiercely hugged him. After a long moment she pulled away from him, kissing his rough cheek before moving towards the coffee.
"Mom told me you're picking out your first song to dance to."
"Yeah."
"Do you know what you want yet?" She asked, gripping her cup and turning to him.
"I have an idea but I'm not sure."
"What is it?" She asked. In confusion she watched as he walked to the stair case and looked up and around the living room, Lorelai was to be surprised.
"Well I have it down to five or six and I can't make up my mind."
"Shoot."
"Ok, there was The Rose…"
"Classic." Rory approved.
"Um…Everything I Do by Brian Apples."
"Brian Adams." Rory corrected playfully. "That's a good one."
"Liz thought so too. Let's see, there's In Your Eyes…"
"Peter Gabriel." Rory supplied instantly. "Excellent choice."
"Um, how many was that?"
"Three."
"Alright, there's Open My Eyes, Thank You, and Iris."
"Buck Cherry, Led Zeppelin, and the Goo Goo Dolls…all excellent choices. You have good taste."
"Well I'd only heard of The Rose until the other day, me and Liz listened to a few and she made me memorize the songs. I like them all but I don't know which your mother would like more."
"She'd like any of them. You know how she loves music, any decision you make will be good."
"What do you think?"
"Personally I would pick either In Your Eyes or Open My Eyes, they're both very sentimental, very romantic. But she would flip over any of them."
"I was kind of leaning towards Everything I Do."
"I thought that you might. It seems like you."
"Yeah. So she'll like any of them."
"Of course, you could pick anything and she'd love it."
"Unless it was the macarina." He smiled.
"Oh she'd get a kick out of that." Rory laughed. "And then she'd kill you."
"Well I'd better get going." He smiled. "Big day and all."
"Yeah, I'll see you at the Inn later."
"See you then." He smiled, hesitating for only a moment longer.
"Are you nervous?" She asked,
"Nothing's ever felt so natural in my life." He replied instantly, pulling an envelope from his back pocket with Lorelai's name on it. "When she wakes up will you give this to her?"
"Of course." She replied, noting the envelope he placed on the table.
"Thanks, see you later."
"See you." She smiled, sipping at the first of many perfect cups of coffee to come.
A/N: Not a LONG chapter I know but I'm working my way into it. Anyhoo I need some help on which song to do for the first dance, as you all can tell. If you don't mind just review with what song you want. Most votes in two days wins. While you do that you can tell me what you liked or didn't…whatever, or you can just put what song you want. Doesn't matter, just review please.
