Hiya!
I seriously can't get over this new documents thing - it's pretty cool, you have to admit. So, I'm writing this tonight. I started at 7.34pm and it's now 10.54pm, I kept getting distracted, but hey, here it is anyway. Response is lacking on this story - so this is the final chapter. Thanks to everyone who commented on it, favourited it, loved it. Please check out the abundents of other stories I've written since the beginning of my FanFiction life. :) Here are your replies;
Gilmoreintraining: I'm not gonna do that 'cause it's already been done in one FanFiction - I try as hard as I can not to copy storylines and what not, 'cause it might offend people or whatever. Hope you like this chapter, and thanks for always reviewing (Check out All Road Blocks Down and it's sequel) love kez.
Lukelai-Cangel-Brucas-Naley: I know what super-busy is, so you're entirely forgiven my friend :) Enjoy.
Samvalasam: I've seen it too, but only crappy quality and whatever. I can't wait to see special features and stuff - finally something to do with Gilmore Girls that I haven't seen. Lol. Thanks for reviewing doll-face. Kezzza.
Sarahb2007: Hey sweetcheeks. I live in Australia :) Enjoy this chapter. Kez.
Erin: Hotel's fill up, yes... but nothing out of the ordinary - spending New Years here would be great - everyone gets into it here. My advice to you though would be to go to Perth for new years, they do it up excellently. If you come here you have to go to Perth. Also, Brisbane and the Gold Coast - the amusement parks are a thing of beauty (to me who hates heights but loves rollercoasters - weird? i think). Sydney's a definate, but it get's too much hype overseas. For shopping go to Melbourne most definately.
Job's going good - great actually. Lots of new friends :) Boyfriend's not particularly happy with the amount of eye-candy but whatevs. Hehe.
Thanks for reviewing. Kez.
A baby named...
Luke piled some of the things from the shopping cart onto the conveyor belt leading to the cash register
Luke piled some of the things from the shopping cart onto the conveyor belt leading to the cash register. He looked up to find a man smiling at him and swiping the items accordingly. Luke had stopped at a grocery store in Hartford on his way back from the bank after Lorelai had called and sheepishly informed him that she'd been too tired to do the grocery shopping today.
After he piled the last items onto the counter, he walked up to the register where the cashier began his conversation with Luke.
"Don't see many men doing grocery shopping 'round here on late night shopping nights," the nice man joked.
"Really?" Luke asked, oblivious as to why.
"Yep, normally the females do it, not being misogynistic or anything like that," he said with a polite smile, "In fact, you're the first male customer I've had all night,"
"Really? Well… my wife, she's pregnant," Luke explained, "She decided to call me five minutes before I got here to tell me she'd been to tired to do the shopping today, so I told her I'd pick up the absolute necessities and she could get the rest another time,"
"Pregnant?" the cashier asked, "Really? First kid?"
"First for me, second for Lorelai," Luke said proudly.
"Wow, well… congratulations – how far along is she?" the man asked nicely.
"Eight months,"
"Wow, soon then aye?"
"Yep," Luke said as he watched the man swipe the last of his items and pack them all into bags. Luke took them out of his hands readily and placed them back into the trolley.
"Seeya later, and congratulations again," the man said to Luke with a wide smile.
"Cheers buddy," Luke replied before walking out of the shopping centre with the bags in the trolley.
Luke got to his truck and lifted the cover off of the tray all the while thinking about his and Lorelai's impending future. Not long until he could finally add the word 'father' to his resume. Not that he'd ever need a resume – but it's a figure of speech.
I'm a Dad. I'm going to be a father.
Luke couldn't help but to smile insatiably at himself as he thought about it. He was going to have a child with Lorelai Victoria Gilmore – his wife, his soul mate – his world, forever.

"Lorelai, I'm home," Luke yelled as he entered the door. He set his keys and wallet and phone in the small bowl that was sitting on the table in the foyer before going further into the house.
"What did you get?" Lorelai asked, looking up from the paper she was reading at the kitchen table.
"What in god's name did you eat Lorelai?" Luke said, looking at the awry of random packets of different foods sitting around her on the table.
"I have cravings Luke, jeez, never lived with a pregnant woman before?" Lorelai joked, not realising the silliness of her question.
"Ah, actually no…" Luke said quickly. "So the craving for tonight was…?"
"Well, at first it was frozen vegetables," Lorelai said, picking up the green and white packet in front of her and waving it around in Luke's face.
"Really?" Luke said, surprised.
"Don't get too excited, the cravings changed before the microwave beeped," Lorelai said with a smug smile on her face.
"So next craving?" Luke asked.
"Believe it or not, it was peanut butter and Chinese food mixed together.
"You've GOT to be kidding me," Luke said with a disgusted look on his face.
"Nope, but it changed again before I ate any so that leads me to my final one, and what I'm currently eating right now," Lorelai said, guarding her bowl so that Luke couldn't see it.
"What is it?" Luke asked in a sigh, imagining how much worse it could be because she was hiding it from him.
"No, no, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised," Lorelai said before uncovering the bowl and shoving it towards Luke and smiling.
Luke looked into the bowl and smiled, he pointed a finger into the bowl and looked at Lorelai, "They're strawberries," he stated calmly.
"Dreeeeeeeeeeeeenched in vinegar," Lorelai said loudly.
"That… is… disgusting," Luke teased before getting up and kissing Lorelai on the mouth.
"I know," Lorelai said, trying to look at cute as possible.

"Luke, come on, I'm not even kidding here," Lorelai whined as she tried to snatch the remote out of Lorelai's hand. "Are you seriously going to just sit there and tease a pregnant woman? That's like poking a cheetah when it's asleep," she joked.
"I don't care, all you've been doing is flipping through the channels and expressing – very loudly might I add – your loves and hates of each particular show, so no… TV's going off and we're going to sleep," Luke said, hitting the 'off' button and rolling onto his stomach.
"I wish I could sleep like that," Lorelai complained as she sat in her upright position still. Luke turned his head to face her and sighed heavily – he wasn't going to get much sleep tonight.
"Lorelai, lay down and go to sleep," he pleaded.
"A week late, Luke," she said, crossing her arms over her stomach and pouting softly while looking down at her almost dead to the world husband.
"I know, I've been here for every day," Luke reminded her.
"Come out!" Lorelai said, looking frustratingly down at her stomach, lining her hands up with it. "Luuuuuuke," she whined.
"Honestly, how long does it take us to get to sleep each night Lorelai? Shouldn't you be lapping it up while you have the chance?" Luke asked, suddenly more awake than ever.
Lorelai shuffled down the bed a little and laid on her back. She laid there for a few moments before turning over and leaning her head onto Luke's pillow. She casually lifted her head and kissed Luke on his open mouth. Luke's eyes flew wide open, momentarily savouring the rare moment of peace and quiet, but also questioning his wife's ulterior motives.
"What're you doing?" Luke asked sarcastically.
"Kissing my husband," Lorelai said bluntly before kissing his cheekbone and chin before kissing his mouth again.
"Why?" Luke asked, trying to get to the bottom of it.
"What? I'm not allowed to kiss my husband? Seriously honey, I'd appreciate it from now on if you'd update me on the rules of our marriage – you know, when we can talk, when we can kiss, when we can have sex… you know, the basics – I hand the pants over to you," she joked.
"The pants?" Luke asked.
"We all know that I wear the pants in this marriage Lukey-bums," Lorelai joked.
"Whatever!" Luke said in an offended tone.
"I do, you know it, I know it, so let's just know it together, yeah babe?" Lorelai said quickly, preparing herself for a rant.
"You've got it all wrong missy," Luke said, tucking back down into his pillows, disappointing Lorelai.
"Come on Luke, have sex with me," Lorelai pleaded, poking the Luke's shoulder blade a few times, urging him to sit up quickly. He drew out a long sigh and hit the bed forcefully before picking up some pillows and walking out of the room.
Lorelai sat on the bed stunned. He'd never done that before – he must have been extremely annoyed. Lorelai giggled to herself before getting off the bed after a hard battle and looking for Luke.
"Baby," Lorelai said with a pout – which Luke knew from the letter B.
"Sanctuary, sanctuary, sanctuary – gone! Oh well, I had it for five minutes," Luke joked, looking through the dark for Lorelai.
Lorelai moved closer to the bed that Luke was laying on in the spare bedroom next to theirs. Lorelai had insisted on it for when her 'huge packs of friends want to stay for the winter' – her words not Luke's, and Luke just went to the furniture store with her to pick out double bed's and whimsical sheet sets.
"I'm sorry, come back to bed, I promise I won't make you have sex with me," she joked, knowing that in any other situation she'd never have to 'make' Luke have sex with her, she'd probably never even have to initiate it.
Lorelai moved over to the bed and felt along Luke's body for his arm. When she reached his shoulder, she ran her hands down his arm and linked onto his hand. She pulled him hard and he began to move off the bed.
"If I come back in there you've got to promise me my sanctuary," Luke said, steadying himself on the bed.
"Fine," Lorelai said, smiling at Luke as he pulled himself off of the bed and followed her into their room.
Lorelai slid under the comforter and smiled when Luke leant down and pecked her on the lips. Walking around the foot of the bed, Luke collapsed on his side, completely exhausted and let out a long sigh as he realised that he'd left his pillows in the spare room.
"Grrrr," Luke grumbled before linking his hands behind his head and resting on them.
"What babe?" Lorelai asked in a small voice, finally almost falling asleep.
Luke rolled over and placed his arm over Lorelai's waist. He sprawled his fingers out over her belly and whispered into her ear, "Can you share your pillows?" he asked.
"What? Why? What happened to yours?" Lorelai asked, shuffling over to the side a bit.
"I left them in the other room and I can't be bothered getting them… come on," Luke coaxed, rubbing her belly gently.
"Aww, fine," Lorelai gave in.
"Thankyou," Luke said, moving closer to Lorelai and wrapping his arm around her further.
They both fell into a deep sleep.

Two days later Lorelai was sitting on the couch in front of the television. She had her legs outstretched and had a packet of Salt and Vinegar chips that she'd occasionally play around with, laying in her lap as she spoke to Rory over the phone.
"So what are you doing then? Just sitting at home watching telly?" Rory asked her Mom over the phone.
"No! and I'm appalled at the insinuation," Lorelai said, pretending to be angry.
"Well then what?" she asked, walking through Yale with books in her left hand and her right hand holding the phone to her ear.
"I'm sitting at home, watching telly, waiting for baby to make it's appearance," Lorelai smiled proudly.
Rory simply rolled her eyes and laughed, "Well… sorry!" she giggled.
"So you should be," Lorelai said, dipping into a packet of chips sitting on her lap.
Lorelai put a few into her mouth and crunched on them loudly. Before she got a chance to swallow she felt a large pain in the right side of her stomach.
"OH my GOD! Rory," Lorelai said loudly throughout the length of her pain.
"Mom?" Rory asked, worried, "Mom, what is it? Is it happening? MOM! TALK TO ME!" she yelled through the phone.
Lorelai let out a large breath and began breathing in fast. "Rory, I think I just had a contraction," Lorelai said in a panicked voice.
"Mom, don't move, I'm gonna call Luke and he'll be right there," Rory said fast.
"Ahuh, okay, yep," Lorelai said, peeling the phone away from her ear and hitting the 'end' button, throwing it onto the floor before placing a hand on either side of her stomach and bracing herself for another contraction – one that didn't come until she and Luke were driving to the hospital.
"The one day I go to work, the one day out of all the days since you were due, it had to happen now," Luke complained as he drove carefully to the hospital in Hartford.
"I know hon, but I don't think the baby tried to annoy Daddy on purpose," she said, one hand on her stomach and the other on Luke's arm.
Over the course of half an hour the contractions had gotten relatively closer together. Lorelai had read throughout her pregnancy that the second one goes quicker. She dismissed the fact considering the last time she'd had a baby she was sixteen, and everything sprung back into place.
Lorelai felt another contraction building as she squeezed Luke's arm tight. Luke took it off the steering wheel in fear that he might veer off the road during the pain. He urged Lorelai to take his hand, which she did quickly, relieving Luke's pain immediately, urging a loud sigh from Luke.

Rory arrived at the hospital ten minutes after Lorelai was admitted. She raced into the room as fast as she could to find Lorelai still painfully contracting – the actual labour not starting yet.
"Mom!" Rory squealed as she ran to her mother's bed.
"You might wanna leave," Lorelai joked.
"Why?" Rory asked, a panicked look overtaking her face.
"Because you hate pregnancy and birth," Lorelai laughed.
"Not when it's my mother I don't," Rory smiled, causing a smile to erupt in both Lorelai and Luke too.
"Good," Lorelai said, squeezing Rory's hand.
III
Lorelai was through most of the labour, the doctor assuring her that there was only two more pushes and their baby would be in the world. Lorelai smiled as Luke kissed her forehead. Rory was rushed out of the room about twenty minutes earlier and had been kept up to date regularly by a nurse that Lorelai had asked to update Rory all the time.
"Why is it going so fast?" Lorelai asked in a stressed voice.
"It's your second birth," the doctor reminded Lorelai.
"In twenty years," she laughed back.
"There's no explaining it," the doctor said with a smile. "Now Lorelai, one more push, come on,"
Luke held tightly onto Lorelai's hand as she pushed their tiny baby into the world and they were blessed with the piercing scream of their child. The doctor immediately removed the gunk from it's nose and mouth before wrapping it in a blanket. Lorelai held her child close to her chest and looked at Luke who simply smiled and kissed her firmly on the lips.
III
Rory was standing outside of the nursery, staring down at the babies. She noticed a nurse inside and decided to go and see if she could hold her sibling.
"Hey, what're you doing in here?" the nurse asked politely as Rory entered the room.
"Hi, I was just wondering if I was able to hold my Mom's baby," Rory asked nicely.
"Oh, sure…" the nurse trailed off, gesturing for Rory to lead the way.
Rory went over to the crib which her sibling occupied and picked the tiny bundle up. She adjusted the beanie and ran her fingers through the soft curls. She smiled and brought her head close to the baby's face.
"Welcome to the world, Luca," she said in a soft voice, "Where you have a Mommy, a Daddy and a sister that love you more than anything,"
FIN
Thanks to everyone :)
