Author's note: Just a little heads up, this chapter fits the M rating.

On Thursday night, Luke kept his promise and took Lorelai to Sniffy's. When they arrived, there were both greeted with hugs from Maisy.

"We haven't seen you two in ages!" Maisy hits Luke's arm playfully.

"Yeah, sorry about that Maisy, we've been busy." Luke mumbles in response.

"It's alright. Come along, I'll lead you to your table." They follow Maisy to the same table they sat at during their first date.

"I'll bring Buddy out to say hello." Maisy says before she walks away.

Lorelai picks up one of the menus from the table. She quickly skims it over. "I see they haven't changed anything here." She says quietly, but with a smile.

"Yep. It's nice to be back here." Luke says simply.

Lorelai reaches out and pats his knee. She was going to agree with him, but Maisy returns with Buddy before she could say a word.

"Lucas, Lorelai. It's nice to see you. How are you?" Buddy asks.

"We're great, Buddy. And you?" Luke replies.

"Fine, fine," Buddy says casually. He glances at Maisy and she nods. "So are you two celebrating anything special this evening?"

Luke looks between Buddy and Maisy and sees the eager look on both of their faces. "Um, no, I just wanted to have a nice evening out with Lorelai." He gives Lorelai a small smile.

"Buddy, go and tell Rob to whip up something special for these two." Maisy whispers to Buddy. He leaves. Maisy looks at Luke. "Can I talk to you alone for a minute, Lucas?"

Luke frowns. "Uh, sure," He pats Lorelai's hand as he gets up. "I'll be back in a minute."

"Okay." Lorelai answers simply.

Luke is surprised by how fast Maisy is walking; he walks faster to keep up with her. They go to the restaurant office.

"I thought you were engaged to Lorelai? I didn't see any ring on her finger !" Maisy exclaims as soon as Luke shuts the door behind him.

Luke sighs softly. "Well, it's complicated."

"Complicated? Explain to me what's complicated. You phoned and told us that you two got engaged months ago!" Maisy seems to be upset and Luke doesn't like it.

"Remember I told you how I found out I have a daughter, a twelve year old girl who I had no clue existed?"

"Yes." Maisy replies simply.

"Well, I was overwhelmed with trying to bond with her and I… well I shut Lorelai out while I was spending time getting to know April. Lorelai and I decided to take a break while I adjusted to being a father and that was the right thing to do because I was an idiot to not let Lorelai be involved and the time we spent apart made me realize that." He takes a deep breath and continues before Maisy could say anything. "Then Lorelai and I really talked about everything and we decided to stay together, but I told her I wanted to wait to give her the ring back until I settled everything with Anna and April." He stops and waits for Maisy's response.

"How could you be so stupid and push Lorelai away? I can tell how much you two love each other. Why would you not let her be involved in your daughter's life?" Maisy was clearly dumbfounded.

"Yes, I know, like I said I was an idiot. But, Lorelai and I have really dealt with a lot of our issues in the past few weeks. I've let April and Lorelai spend a lot of time together recently and Anna is letting me have shared custody. We're working everything out. In fact, I'm planning on giving Lorelai the ring back later tonight." Luke informs her. He hated that he had made her upset and he wanted to clear things up.

Maisy sighs gently. "Okay." She touches Luke arm gently, although her expression seemed to express that she wanted to hit him. "You scared me; I thought you let Lorelai get away!"

Luke shakes his head, "No, Maisy, I would never let Lorelai get away." He says firmly.

Maisy nods. "I'm glad to hear it." She gently pushes him towards the door. "You can go back to your table now. We'll have your waitress bring you a special meal."

Luke grins, "All right Maisy. We'll come say goodbye later."

Lorelai smiles at Luke as he sits back down at their table.

"What was that about?" She asks him.

"Oh, uh Maisy was just worried about us." Luke says quickly.

"About us? What did you tell Maisy and Buddy about what happened between us?" Lorelai asks nervously.

"Well, I called them when we got engaged and they were excited about that and I told them about April. I never told them what happened in the past few weeks. Maisy saw that you weren't wearing your ring and she was worried. I set her straight. I told her that we're working thing out." Luke answers.

"Okay." Lorelai replies simply.

Luke reaches across the table and takes Lorelai's hand in his. He raises their joined hands to his mouth and kisses hers. Lorelai smiles softly at him. He doesn't let go of her hand until their food comes.

An hour and a bit later, Luke and Lorelai finish their meal, including dessert. They say goodbye to Maisy and Buddy and Maisy gives them a bottle of champagne to take home. Luke groans but Lorelai thanks her and promises that she'll drink it if Luke won't.

They head to the closed diner and Luke pours a cup of coffee for Lorelai. She has a feeling that he'll give her the ring back tonight, but she doesn't say anything to prompt him. When she finishes her coffee, Luke comes to stand next to her stool and he gestures for her to stand up. She does.

He clears his throat. "Lorelai, I think we've made a lot of progress in the past few weeks and… I'm asking you now; will you take the ring back?" He pulls the ring out of his pocket and holds it out to her.

Lorelai just nods, a smirk on her face. She holds out her left hand, letting him know that she wanted him to put on the ring. He smirks back and gently pushes the ring onto her finger.

Lorelai looks down at the ring then looks back up at Luke. "That's where it belongs." She says.

Luke gives her a smile and a nod. "I'll make sure it stays there. You're it for me, Lorelai. I never want to let you go again." He says in a low, sincere voice.

Lorelai was touched by his words. She was a little surprised that he was so open with her. She remembered how he had said: "You're supposed to let your actions speak. That's the romantic way to do this, damn it."
She smiles sweetly then leans in to kiss him.

Luke kisses her back. They kiss heatedly for about a minute. Lorelai is the one to pull away.

"I'm staying here tonight." She tells him before she leans back in and starts nibbling on his earlobe and kissing his neck.

Luke draws in a sharp breath. "You don't want to go home to Rory?" He whispers.

Lorelai pulls back again. "Rory's fine. I told her that there was a chance I'd be spending the night with you." She explains.

Luke responds by pressing his lips to hers. They share a few slow kisses until Lorelai pulls back again. "Let's go upstairs." She says quickly.

Luke smiles, "I was just about to suggest that."

They head upstairs. Once they get inside the apartment and Luke shuts the door, Lorelai kicks off her heels and starts to slip her dress off.

Luke turns to face her, "Hey that's my job."

Lorelai raises her eyebrows, "Well get to work then."

Luke quickly strides over to her and takes her in his arms. He kisses her as he pushes her dress down. Lorelai giggles as his stubble tickles her face.

Luke pulls away and takes his shoes off. Lorelai reaches out and starts unbuttoning his shirt. She pushes her dress down her hips and it falls to the floor. Luke takes her in and whispers, "Beautiful."

Lorelai blushes. Luke finishes unbuttoning his shirt and drops it to the floor. He snakes his arm around her waist and pulls her to him. They kiss passionately. Lorelai's hands make their way to his belt and she undoes it. Luke unclasps her bra with one hand and she takes her hands away from his belt to push the straps off her shoulders. She drops the bra and looks at him.

Luke kisses her softly then removes his belt. He unbuttons and kicks off his pants then pulls her into his chest. He sighs as he feels her bare breasts against him. She feels his arousal through his boxers and grins. She pulls away from his embrace and gives him a seductive smile. He meets her eyes and reaches out to gently stoke her cheek.

"I love you." She says softly.

He gives her a lazy smile, "I love you too."

Lorelai puts a hand on the back of his head and pulls his mouth back to hers. They keep kissing as Luke backs her up to the bed. Lorelai pulls her lips from his and gets on the bed. She lies down and gestures for him to join her. He takes his boxers and socks off before he moves to the bed. He holds himself above her and kisses her neck, then her breasts, then her stomach.

"Luke." Lorelai moans. She didn't want him to take it slow. She reaches down and pushes her panties down. He notices and helps her get them down her legs and drops them to the floor.

He kisses her deeply and moans when she slips her tongue in his mouth. Lorelai reaches down and grasps his cock, letting him know she wanted him now. He shifts so that he is pressed to her entrance. Lorelai reaches for his hand and he laces his fingers through hers. She moans as he sinks into her slowly.

He holds still for a few seconds, savors the feeling of being inside her. Lorelai runs her hands up and down his back, urges him to move. He starts moving and lets out a grunt. She presses a kiss to his chin. Luke presses his forehead to hers and starts thrusting in and out of her.

Lorelai grunts and wraps her legs around his hips. Luke squeezes her hand and picks up the pace of his thrusts. She meets his thrusts by grinding her hips against his. He kisses her tenderly and she smiles against his lips. "Lorelai." He says hoarsely as he feels his release coming. He moves faster, determined to get her to climax with him.

"Luke, oh!" She cries as she climaxes. He thrusts once more then empties into her slowly.

"Yes, oh… Lorelai," He groans. She pulls him down for a kiss before he pulls out of her and collapses next to her.

"I missed that, I missed us." Lorelai says.

"Me too," Luke agrees. He reaches out for her, but she moves and gets up off the bed.

"Where are you going?" He asks, confused.

Lorelai doesn't answer him as she walks over to his closet and opens it. She takes a minute to find what she's looking for. She smiles as she pulls out the blue flannel, the one she wore the morning after their first date. She quickly slips it on and buttons it up then walks back over to the bed and lies back down.

Luke smiles when he sees the flannel. He turns to face Lorelai and she meets his eyes and smiles.

"It matches your eyes." Luke whispers.

"Yours too… if we ever have kids, they'll have gorgeous eyes." She says with a small smile.

"Mmm hmm." Luke mutters as he reaches out and pulls her to him. She lays her head on his chest, presses a kiss to it.

"You still want to have kids with me… even though you have April now?" She lifts her head and asks.

"Of course I do. Having April come into my life has made me want to experience being a father from the beginning. I want kids with you." Luke didn't hesitate answering.

"Okay." Lorelai pecks his lips then lays her head back on his chest.

He kisses the top of her head and runs his fingers through her hair. They lie peacefully in silence for a few minutes.

Lorelai lifts her head and sits up. "I'm going to go take a shower… you're welcome to join me." She says with a grin.

They had taken showers together before, but that was at Lorelai's house, where the shower was larger. Luke didn't know how they were both going to fit in his shower, but he got up and followed her to the bathroom.

A few days later, they set a new wedding date for the beginning of September.
