"Hey" Lorelai said sleepily grinning up at her husband.
"Morning" Luke replied a large smile plastered on his face. It often was when he woke up next to Lorelai.
"What time do you think Katie will be home?" Lorelai asked hoping Luke and her would have a little more time to themselves. She loved to lie in bed in the morning with him and talk. It was always special when they found the time and she would discover some small piece of information about her husband's life that she didn't already know. Lay in mornings always made her happy and now that her baby girl was back she had even more to be happy about.
"Rory rang earlier and said she could stay as long as she liked. She also invited us for lunch said she knows we've spent lots of time together but she still wants to spend some more. I'm not working so we could go, she said about one" Luke explained seeing his wife's eyes light up at the mention of lunch with her daughter.
"Yeah I would like that, I didn't hear the phone ring and shouldn't Rory know better than to call so early?"
"Yeah well her and Marty had to go into work for the morning and wanted to make sure we didn't mind Katie and Will being alone. I told her of course not I mean they are both 16. I think she also just wanted to talk to you, make sure you would come for lunch. As for not hearing the phone you were out like a light and I could barely hear it over your snoring." Luke said laughing then kissing his wife as she made a face.
"Hmmm good way to make me forget the little snoring comment Mr." Lorelai said kissing him again then pulling back to lie with her head on his chest.
"So" she said looking up at him once she was comfortable "do we get to have a lie in?"
"Yeah" Luke replied running his finger through her hair and taking her hand in his "I really like that idea, speaking of which I had an idea of my own"
"Really, do tell by the sounds of it I am either going to like it very much or you are going to talk me into it and then I am going to like it very much." Lorelai replied grinning.
"Ok well I know a the vow renewal is meant to be about us and showing our love for each other in front of our whole family because we didn't get to last time, but I was thinking maybe we could make it a joint ceremony." Luke said unsure of how Lorelai would react. He knew she loved to be the centre of attention but thought perhaps that she would love this idea to.
"What?" Lorelai asked confused.
"Well we didn't get to see Rory and Marty get married so I thought maybe it would be nice if we all renew our vows together, who better to renew your vows with than your best friend. That is if you and Rory and Marty agree." Luke explained a little hesitant unable to read Lorelai's reaction.
"I love that idea Luke, it is so perfect, you are perfect." She replied excitedly kissing his lip soundly then pulling back to talk some more.
"I don't know how I was so lucky as to get you, just in case you didn't know you're my best friend too, you always have been, it times like now I remember why."
"Mmmmm you're my best friend beautiful and I am reminded why once a week when you put on those really tight jeans and let me walk downstairs behind you." Luke laughed giving her hand a squeeze.
"Hey we were having a serious conversation here and then you go and pull the, my wife is so sexy and beautiful and I'm such a guy card." Lorelai said in a mock mad tone, which just caused Luke to kiss her.
"Hey I am a gentleman most of the time I think in our bedroom I get to make the odd comment about how fine you are in the looks department, you are the most beautiful women I have every dated" Luke replied.
"Yeah" Lorelai replied "and you are the hottest man I have ever married"
"Hey" Luke replied "If I had of said that at least it would have been a little nicer"
"Aww did I hurt my babies ego come on burger boy you are the sexiest bed buddy I have ever had and you know it."
"You bet I do"
"Hey Luke what was different about me than Nicole, I mean you married her there had to be something there."
"So this is our feature question of the day is it, wow it took you long enough I have been waiting for that question for like 20 years."
"So you have a really good answer then"
"Yeah I guess. I married Nicole but she was never really my wife, not in the true sense of the word. If you use the real sense of the word you were my only wife. I married Nicole because I was stupid I didn't love her and I knew I never would, you can't love someone else like that when that space is already taken and it was. You had me a long time before I started dating Nicole. I married her because I thought I could never get what I really wanted and I thought that maybe she could make me happy if I were just to settle down and try. So I did and it was stupid. No only was I lying to myself I was making her unhappy at the same time. I acted like a jerk. It all really hit me when I realised not only was she not the most important person in my life she didn't even make it into the top 3 women. She barely made it into the top 5 people. That of course, and here goes your ego stroking, consisted of you, Rory, Liz and Jess then her I guess because at that time there was no one else to fill the space. So anyway before I could be the big man and end what I should never have started she cheated and you know the rest. All you really need to know is even then Lorelai Danes you had my heart and you are the only women I have ever called my wife."
"Well, I guess that is a good enough chat for the moment but we still have a few hours before we need to go to Rory's for lunch and telling them about your fantastic idea, perhaps we could reconfirm that I am indeed the best you've ever had." Luke just laughed and pulled his wife closer happy that she was happier than she had been in a long time.
There we go hope you liked this chapter review and tell me what you think and anything you would like included in future chapters.
