Luke was wrong. It didn't snow until the week after Lorelai started radiation. It was 6 am when Lorelai sniffed the air and sensed that the snow was coming. She watched Luke sleep for a minute before she poked him.

Luke groaned then opened his eyes. "What is it?"

Lorelai grinned. "First snow is coming." She said simply.

He let out a breath, "All right let's go."

She grinned, pleased that he hadn't complained. They got out of bed, Lorelai was faster than him. She had her boots and coat on before he was even downstairs. It was still dark outside, but the porch light allowed them to see.

They walked to the end of the driveway and stood there. Luke felt cold, but he didn't complain. Lorelai wrapped an arm around him and he did the same. They stood there for a few minutes, looking up at the sky occasionally.

"Are you sure there's gonna be snow?" Luke asked in a low voice.

"Hey, I told you I'm never wrong." She replied. "Remember last year?"

He nodded. After he had gone back inside last year, she stayed for one more whiff as promised. Once she got back inside, they found a way to get warm.

One minute later, the snow started to fall. Lorelai grinned and squeezed Luke's side. "I told you!"

Luke just watched her smiling. After standing there for a couple minutes watching the snow, he asked when they could head inside.

"In a minute," She said quietly. The feeling she had always got when the first snow arrived came back. She felt calm, excited and enchanted all at once.

Luke pulled her closer, wrapping both arms around her. "You're crazy." He whispered. He pressed a quick kiss to the top of her head. She wasn't wearing a hat; she had forgotten it in the rush to get outside.

"Yes, but you love me for my craziness." She said.

He didn't say anything, silently agreeing. She turned in his arms and gave him a long, deep kiss.

"Let's go back to bed." She whispered when she pulled back. They looked at the scenery one last time before heading inside.

A few days later, Rory arrived home. She had finished the semester and was now on winter break. The three of them attended the Gilmore Christmas party. A couple days after that, Luke and Lorelai visited Liz and TJ. When Liz mentioned that she and TJ were trying for a baby, Lorelai got quiet. Luke noticed this and he changed the subject.

When Luke and Lorelai returned home that night, Rory immediately noticed that Lorelai's mood had changed.

"Are you okay Mom?"

"I'm fine. Just tired, I'm gonna go to bed early." Lorelai mumbled as she walked up the stairs.

Rory gave Luke a concerned look.

"I think I know why she's upset." Luke said.

"Why?"

"I'll go talk to her." Luke wasn't sure if Lorelai would want him to tell Rory.

Rory looked like she wanted to say something else but she stayed quiet. Luke headed upstairs. He found Lorelai lying in bed.

"It's only 8:30." He said.

"So what? I'm tired Luke. Leave me alone please."

"No." He refused.

She sighed heavily. He lied down next to her. She turned so that her back was to him.

"Lorelai, I know why you're upset."

"I'm fine. I just need to rest, okay?" She said, clearly irritated.

"No, it's not okay."

"Luke, please. You don't know what wrong. Don't pretend like you do."

Luke was offended by that. "I do know. I know you better than I know anyone. I can tell when you're upset and I know why you're upset."

Lorelai sighed again and turned to face him. There were tear streaks on her face. "What am I upset about?"

Luke reached out and touched her cheek. "When Liz mentioned…" He looked into her eyes. "When Liz mentioned that she and TJ were trying for a baby, you looked down. You're upset because you… we probably won't be able to have a baby of our own." He said gently.

She stared at him for a few seconds before she bit her lip and nodded slightly. She didn't know how to put her feelings into words. You're jealous she told herself.

"I thought you…" Luke trailed off.

Lorelai looked at him, urged him to continue. When he didn't she said, "You thought what?" There was an edge to her voice.

Luke almost let out a sigh. "I thought you accepted the fact that we probably won't be able to have kids of our own."

"I did… ok maybe I didn't but Liz mentioning that she and TJ are trying for a baby made me realize that I really did and still do want a kid with you. When I decided to start treatment, I put those feelings aside. And then after all the weeks of stress you proposed and I was so happy." She stopped and put her hand on her face almost as if she was embarrassed.

Luke didn't say anything. His hand rested on her shoulder and he began rubbing her back.

"Is it stupid that I hate that the chemo probably affected my fertility and now we probably can't have kids?" She asked.

"No." He said gently.

"But it's not like we had ever talked about kids before I got sick. Hell, you might not have even proposed if I wasn't sick." She regretted saying that immediately.

Luke pulled his hand away. "What? Do you really think that?" He raised his voice.

"No, no hon I'm sorry. I know you want to marry me no matter what… it's just I don't know where we would be if I was never sick." She said slowly.

Luke's brow furrowed. "Maybe I wouldn't have proposed as soon as I did, but I wanted to stay with you… I mean I would propose eventually." He put his hand back on her back. "I would." He assured her.

She looked into his eyes and could tell that he was telling the truth. Suddenly, she felt like she needed to tell him something that she had kept from him. "Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"I have to tell you something." She couldn't look at him.

"What is it?" His voice was gruff.

"Before I found out I had cancer, when we went to the party in New York for the magazine article launch, remember?"

He nodded.

"Remember when we got home that night and things got a little… primordial. All the roadblocks were down."

"Roadblocks?"

She gave him a pointed look. Realization came over his face. "Oh right."

"Yeah and I thought there was a chance I might be pregnant."

"What? And you never told me?!"

"I know I'm sorry. I got my period soon after that and I didn't want to worry you if I wasn't sure."

"But you still should have told me." He said.

She sighed softly. "But how would you have handled it? We weren't in the right place then… I mean we had just got back together a little bit before that and like I said we never talked about kids or marriage for that matter."

"Yeah. I understand that but I had the right to know." He wasn't really angry, just upset that she had kept this from him. He cleared his throat. "Actually I kept something from you too."

"What?"

"I was planning on buying the Twickham house, for us."

"Oh wow… that's huge. Why didn't you tell me?" She tried not to sound angry.

"I wanted it to be a surprise. And I just wanted to do it on my own I guess. I knew I wanted a future with you, I wanted to live with you and I always thought the Twickham house was beautiful. I could picture us living there."

"Really? Isn't it a bit big?"

"Well I didn't really think about that and I uh figured we'd have a couple kids, if you wanted them that is."

"You wanted them? She asked hesitantly.

"I did." He answered.

"Oh Luke," She said softly.

"We were idiots." He said.

"Huh?" She was confused.

"We kept big things from each other." He pressed his lips together.

"Yeah, we did." She said quietly.

They were silent for a minute.

"Sometimes I wish I had been pregnant."

He stared at her. "But you would already have the cancer by then… right?"

"I guess so; I found it a few weeks later."

"So you probably would have to…" He didn't finish his sentence.

She started to cry again.

"Hey, shh. It's okay."

"It's not okay that I'm feeling this way." She said.

"What way?"

"Jealous that your sister might be having a baby when I can't…when I should just be grateful that I'm alive. I mean I already have a great kid, I don't need another one."

"No, you don't need one…You just wish you could have another one." He wiped her tears with the pads of his thumbs.

"I'm just emotional." She let out a bitter laugh.

"That's okay. You have the right to be emotional." He replied.

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"For what?"

"That you can't have any kids with me,"

"We could adopt." He said suddenly.

She gaped at him.

"I mean we could at least think about it. After all this is over,"

"But I want to give you a biological kid. You deserve it."

"Lorelai, its fine. We don't need kids to be happy. Your life is more important. I'm just happy to have you."

It was a sweet thing to say, she thought. She knew he was right, but there would still be a small hole in her heart. It wasn't guaranteed that they would never have a kid but she had a lot of doubt. Rory was and had been her only kid for over twenty years, but she wanted another kid. She wanted to give Luke a child, to have the father of her kid be present to watch that child grow and change, to have a child with someone she truly loved.

"I'm happy to have you too." She gave him a kiss. "I'll come to accept it." She said and she was being honest. She knew she would eventually stop dreaming about have a kid with Luke. It wasn't the end of the world, but it hurt.

He got out bed and gestured for her to do the same. She rolled over and slowly got out of bed. Once she was standing in front of him, he pulled her into his arms.

She relaxed in his embrace. They stood like that for a few minutes. He pulled back a little and kissed the top of her head.

"Everything's going to be okay." He whispered.

"I know." She whispered back.

A few minutes later, they went back downstairs and found Rory watching TV. She seemed to be distracted.

"Mom?" She rasped when she saw Lorelai walking towards her.

Lorelai sat next to her daughter. "I'm okay sweets." She said, but her voice was a little shaky.

"Mom," Rory said gently. She reached out and put a hand on Lorelai's shoulder.

"I'll tell you about it some other time. I just want to watch some TV with my daughter." Lorelai muttered.

"Okay." Rory accepted this. "Wanna watch The Donna Reed Show?"

"Sure." Lorelai moved closer to Rory.

Luke watched with them for a bit before he headed to bed.

They had a nice Christmas. A few townies showed up at the house, asking if Lorelai needed anything. Luke tried to brush them off, but Patty, Babette and Morey came inside the house and spent some time with Lorelai. Lorelai smiled a lot, she was happy that she had made some true friends in the town she decided to call home. Sookie and Jackson also visited. Later on in the day, Luke and the girls went to the Gilmore house to wish them a Merry Christmas.

The next afternoon, Logan sent a driver to the house to pick up Rory. Their flight to Beijing left that evening. When the driver came to the door, Rory was still finishing some last minute packing.

Lorelai knocked on her open bedroom door. "There's a man named Frank at the door and he claims that he's 'Mr. Huntzberger's driver'. Should I send him away?"

"Why would you do that? He is Logan's driver. He's going to drive me to the airport." Rory said as she zipped her suitcase.

"Because I don't want him to take you away, my only daughter is going to Asia and I don't know what I'm going to do without her."

"Hey, you told me to go. You said you'd be fine." Rory accused.

"I know I know I was just trying to be a little dramatic. It's fun." Lorelai smirked.

Rory smiled back. Her smile faded a second later. "I am going to miss you a lot you know."

"I know. I'm going to miss you a lot too. But you can't be thinking about me all the time. You're going to have fun with your boyfriend. You can't be thinking about your mother while you're alone with your boyfriend." Lorelai said.

Rory raised her eyebrows at Lorelai. "Okay but promise me you won't miss me too much, you need to have a good time with Luke too."

"I will." Lorelai glanced around the room then at Rory. "Ready to go?"

"Yep. I think I've got everything." Rory tried moving her suitcase but struggled.

"Is it too heavy? I told you not to pack so many books."

"I need those books." Rory insisted.

"Hey Luke!" Lorelai yelled. "Get in here, we need your help."

Luke was there in a less than a minute. "What is it? You didn't need to yell, I was in the kitchen."

"Oh, well you weren't there a minute ago." Lorelai gestured to Rory's suitcase. "Can you help the driver get her suitcase to the car?"

"The driver?" Luke asked.

"Logan sent a driver." Rory explained, blushing a little, suddenly feeling embarrassed.

"Does he really need a driver? He just throws his money around doesn't he?" Luke seemed to be agitated.

Rory gave him a look. Luke walked into the room and grabbed the suitcase by its handle and pulled it. He grunted but it moved and he pulled it behind him.

Lorelai and Rory followed Luke to the front door. Luke and Frank headed outside to the car.

"You're sure you're ready? Lorelai asked.

"Yes. I'll email you if I can when we get there." Rory said.

"Okay."

Luke came back in a minute later. "Frank's got the suitcase in the trunk." He said.

Rory nodded then reached out to him and gave him a quick hug. Luke smiled at her.

"Have fun and take lots of pictures." He said.

Rory smiled back then Lorelai pulled her into a tight hug.

"Can't breathe," Rory muttered.

Lorelai only loosened her hold a bit. "Have a safe flight. Tell Logan I say hi and that he better make sure you have the time of your life."

"I will."

"Love you kid."

"Love you too." Rory pulled away then leaned in again to give Lorelai a quick kiss on the cheek.

She looked at Lorelai and Luke one last time before she turned and walked out the door.

Once the car had pulled away, Luke pulled Lorelai to his side. "She's gonna be fine."

"I know." Lorelai said.

They stood there for a minute before Lorelai took his hand. "Come on, I have something planned for us."

He raised his brow. "What is it?"

"You'll have to wait and see." She said as she pulled him.

When they entered the kitchen, Luke looked around.

"Well, maybe I didn't really plan anything but we can make the night special." Lorelai said slowly.

Luke winked at her. She grinned.

"I was planning on making a nice dinner anyway." He told her.

"Aww really? That's sweet of you."

They had a nice, quiet evening together. By ten o'clock, they were cuddled together in bed, just lying there not quite sleeping yet. It was peaceful and they felt like there was nowhere else they'd rather be.

Author's note: I guess I put the part about the kids in because I'm feeling like it's very unlikely that L/L will have kids in the revival and that makes me sad. I wanted to show that I think they really did want kids together and it will take me a little while to get over it if they don't have any kids in the revival, I can't help it…
