A/N: Hello all. thanks to reviewing. sorry about the cliffhanger. i'm mean like that sometimes. um here's a new chapter. hope you like. if not let me now. later.

Lorelai's headache quickly subsided as she looked around and this strange new place became just another everyday sight to her. As Lorelai sat there enjoying the sight of her own home again, Luke walked up and sat beside her. She could tell he had something on his mind.

"What's wrong?" she asked worryingly.

Luke looked into her eyes and took a deep breath, "Lorelai, there's something you should know."

Lorelai noticed the look on his face of how happy he was. Luke also looked slightly panicked.

"Do you remember during your last check-up, when the doctor did that one test on the babies. It was a paternity test. Please don't hate me, but I asked them to do it."

Rory was confused about the test and the mention of 'babies'. She noticed her mother didn't seem all that happy right now either. Rory managed to excuse herself to the kitchen, giving them a chance to talk.

Lorelai was taken back by this news, "How could do that without talking to me first. Yes I wanted to know who the father was, but it doesn't really matter. It's who is present in these kids lives that really matters as who their parents are. Hell, take a look at Chris, yes he's a dad but not to Rory. You were around a lot more than he ever was. Rory knows it, hell I even think Chris knows that as well."

Luke realized from the sadness in her eyes, that maybe she was right. But still he was happy about the outcome, just not the situation he found himself in currently.

"Lorelai, I'm sorry. I just needed to know. If you want me to leave then say so." He paused, mainly to see what she was going to say.

"I'm so mad at you. I can't believe you did this. How could you? You didn't even ask me. I'm going upstairs. You can let yourself out." As she walked up the stairs, she couldn't stop the tears that made their way down her face. She truly did love him but it just pissed her off so much that he would do something behind her back like this.

Luke watched Lorelai walk up the stairs; he turned towards the kitchen, seeing Rory standing there. She had tears in her eyes and a confused look on her face.

Luke looked sad and sorry, "Hey come here. I didn't mean to upset your mom. I just had to know."

Rory was at a loss for words, she just walked towards Luke as he pulled her into a hug.

"You know I love your mom, more than anything. I just wanted to make sure she was okay, that the babies were okay." he paused slightly, thinking of what to say.

"Promise me you'll never leave her again. No matter what happens between you guys. That you will help her raise these kids, be there dad, no matter what the tests say." Rory let the tears flow, "Please promise me. I don't think she could handle losing you again. I couldn't handle losing you again." She hung onto to Luke until she calmed down.

"I promise to help her with everything, if she'll let me." Luke replied caringly.

"I'm going to go upstairs and check on her. Promise me you'll be here when I come down." Rory asked him as she walked up the stairs.

"I promise."

As Rory got to the bedroom door, she saw her mother lying on the bed, curled in a ball. She was clutching a pillow, tears streaming down her face. Rory crawled in bed beside her mother, kissing her head, and making small comforting circles on her back.

As Rory sat there, she quietly said, "He really is sorry. Luke loves you so much and he wants to help you with everything. If you'll let him that is."

Sadness filled Lorelai's voice, "Why did he have to lie to me? I thought he was the one guy that wouldn't lie."

"I don't know why he choice to lie to you but he was so scared that the little ones were Matt's." Rory noticed how her mother tensed at the mention of his name. "Mom, what happened with Matt, have you heard from him recently."

Laughing slightly, "Ha, no I haven't. He was, uh, married and he didn't tell me." She heard Rory gasp at that. "Yea, his wife called here the one time, I told her I had no clue that he was married. I broke up with him and called him an asshole. Thats Probably why I flipped out on you at that Friday night dinner."

"You remember the fight then, don't you." Rory asked cautiously.

"Uh, not really. I remember only snippets of things. I'm really trying here, to remember everything." She paused, shocking back a sob, "Its just so hard. I hate this. I hate that I have a hard time remembering things. Like I don't even remember my own parents. How is that even possible?"

"I'm sorry. If there were a way to make this go away, for you to remember everything, I would do it. But I can't. I'm sorry for what I said during the fight. I know Logan isn't right for me but I just love him. I really love him. And I know you hate me for telling you this but I know that you truly love Luke. If you didn't you wouldn't get so upset when he does something like this."

"Yea, I know sweets. It just hurts that he chose to break up with me because of Christopher. How do I know that he won't do that again?" Lorelai asked questioningly.

A voice in the doorway replied, "Because he learned the first time that it was a stupid mistake not to trust you and not to let him bother me. As well as to not let you get away again."

He knew that he took the girls by surprise. Their faces alone said it all.

Lorelai was the first to speak, "You better not leave again. I couldn't handle it. Not now. Neither of us could." She motioned for him to come closer, to sit next to her and Rory.

Lorelai was now sitting up, facing Luke who said, "I never meant for this to hurt you. I'm sorry if Matt was an ass, but I promise, I'll help you whenever you need me." He pulled her into a hug, "I'll do whatever you want me to do, just please don't shut me out of your life. Please."

Lorelai took a deep breath, saying, "I could never shut you out. Just promise me that you won't hurt me again or break my heart. That's all I want."

Luke looked deep into her dazziling blue eyes before responding, "Okay. I can do that, for you and for Rory. You know I could never say no to you guys."
