More comments on season finale, some review responses and other various and sundry items:

Okay so another thing about the last episode after finally getting to watch it a second time... I think it's strange that my two favorite characters from the finale were Emily and Mitchum, the characters I normally love to hate. Seriously, something is wrong there. Emily's just been so amazing the past few episodes and was absolutely hilarious the whole time and Mitchum was so right in what he said to Rory on the elevator. Can I also add that it was also odd that I ended up liking Rory more than Lorelai, especially because until last night I still hadn't forgiven Rory for the after affects of last season's finale? Amazing, but true. And I think I kinda liked Logan at the end, I think I kind of, almost, finally got the whole Rory and Logan thing. I can't believe I just wrote that because I've hated him and them together since he first appeared. The weirdest part of the whole thing is that my least favorite characters of the episode were Luke, Lorelai and Christopher. (Okay Christopher, not so odd, but normally I'm all right with him.) I'm so confused. My head is spinning. So I'll end with this... I totally cracked up at Lorelai's 'weapons of mass destruction line'.

LLfreak8285 - No, Lorelai never told Luke about the dream. On the show she told him when she stayed over after the inn caught fire but in my fic Luke and Lorelai were too busy with other things to discuss a silly old dream. ;)

Robinpoppins - You know I love you guys! But I'm totally with you on the finale, yes what she said needed to be said, but I think she probably could have given him a minute or two to process it, I mean, she even had to propose twice and how long did it take him to think things through when they were on the verge of breaking up in S5. Does she not remember that pushing him that time broke them up? And I'm totally with you on L/C, because I've always like Christopher and they had amazing chem until last episode when I was just like ick. And about AB, the funniest thing is that I was just telling someone the other day how I thought she was such a horrible actress but then this episode, I don't know, maybe she finally learned a few crying on screen tips from LG.

sarahb2007 - Was your having a great day thing supposed to be sarcastic? I mean I actually have been having a great day, because I think that the season finale was the last time Lorelai will ever look at another man. That look. Man. And she said she loved him, she said it twice, three times technically. I have faith and until then, I have fanfic ;)

roywthepoodles - Great suggestions for names. Stanley and Stella. Ah, makes me think of two awesome LL scenes.

aries-chica56 - I think what hit me about the sleepover more than that is that when Luke says to call your parents you can clearly see April on the phone which means she must have been calling Anna. And why wouldn't she have mentioned to Anna that Lorelai was there? Or why didn't Anna ask more questions at the time? If she had and been annoyed by it she would have made April hand the phone over to Luke and yelled at him right then, and if she didn't then its her own darn fault. I mean that was the most ridiculous part. But about your comment, when I was around April's age (wow can't believe I can remember that far back) I stayed over at a girl's father's house that my mom didn't know very well, she knew the mom not the dad. She wouldn't have wanted him to be in the room we were sleeping in either but I think what annoyed my mom more was that he went out on a date with his girlfriend and left us alone. So I don't know, not the same thing, I'm not sure what she would have thought if I had actually met the girlfriend or she had stayed in the room with us. I guess, that's not what bothers me at all, it's more the first thing I said. You're right C/L isn't going to work, that can be read on her face in the last scene. And her hair, I think, was bad, but right for the episode, I think it just wasn't something Lorelai was concentrating on, considering that I thought the dress she wore also wasn't flattering.

To all: I'm sure most of the readers predicted the twins, I mean, come on, the dream was too perfect to be wrong. I'm pretty sure I've picked out the names already but since I haven't actually written those scenes yet, I'm open to suggestions.

And a small thanks to GGRox07 for making my 500th review. Ed McMahon is coming your way!

And check out my new post season finale fic. Reparations. It's not fluffy to say the least, but I think it gets the job done. ;)


Lorelai's House

Rory is sitting on the floor in front of the TV going through a large pile of movies. Lorelai walks out of the kitchen with a basket of popcorn and puts in on the table with all the other junk food and Chinese food. She stares down at it, putting her hands on her hips. "Do you think we have enough?" Lorelai asks. Rory glances over her shoulder and surveys the layout of food, pursing her lips.

"You have the tater tots in the oven?" Rory asks. Lorelai nods. "And Luke is bringing burgers?"

"Yeah and pie."

"Well, we could call him and have him stop and get ice cream from Doose's," Rory suggests. Lorelai looks like she thinks that's a good idea, but then sighs.

"Do you think April's gonna think we're crazy if we do that?" Lorelai asks.

"Well you do look a little like Susanna Kaysen," Rory says. Lorelai flops onto the couch, laying her head back against the pillows. "Mom, are you nervous about this?" Lorelai opens one eye and looks at Rory, not moving her head.

"Nervous? About the fact that I'm about to destroy a young girl's happy dream that one day her parents will get married? I'm the Grand High Witch, move over Anjelica Huston, Lorelai Gilmore's taking over." Lorelai rubs her forehead. Rory stands up and walks over to sit next to her mother on the couch.

"Mom, I think you're over thinking this. Luke said she was okay with him and Anna not being together, that she liked that you were dating her dad," Rory reminds her mother.

"Yeah, but it wasn't permanent then. I mean we're not getting married, but having a baby is a pretty permanent change, unless of course you're Khalia Richards and you'll just throw your kid out with the trash." Lorelai really looks worried now. Rory leans her head on Lorelai's shoulder.

"Yeah, but she was on drugs when she did that. And she did end up getting Isaiah back," Rory responds. Lorelai nods. Rory looks up at Lorelai, concerned. "Mom, don't let yourself get stressed out about this, it's not good for you." Lorelai nods. She puts an arm around Rory, pulling her daughter against her.

"You're so good to me, Rory. I'm glad I've got you on my side so that when I'm old and gray and this kid hates me, you'll come take care of me." Lorelai turns her face so she can kiss the top of Rory's head. "Are you sure that your grandparents are okay with you being here tonight instead of at Friday Night Dinner?"

"I called them this week specifically when Gramma was at her DAR meeting and left a message with the maid that I was taking a week off after their horrible display last week," Rory tells Lorelai, who nods slowly. Rory grins, seeing that Lorelai looks nervous about this. "Have you been watching that Kate Jackson movie again?" Lorelai laughs.

"No, I think I've finally given up on the idea that your grandmother is going accuse me of being a Satanist to try to take you from me." They hear the door slam. Rory stands and helps her mom stand up. Lorelai looks a little unsure, but smiles.

"Lorelai?" they hear Luke call as he walks in the room, holding April's hand.

"Hey," Lorelai says, walking over to them. She almost gives Luke a kiss, but hesitates, which makes Rory giggle. Lorelai shoots Rory a look and then gives in and kisses Luke hello.

"Hey to you too," Luke says, smiling at Lorelai. He glances up at Rory. "Glad you could get away."

"Mom says you've never participated in movie night here so I thought attending would ensure that your daughter might come back to the house sometime," Rory teases. April laughs.

"And April, you remember Lorelai," Luke says, motioning towards Lorelai.

"Hey, kid, your dad doing better at coming up with things for you to do?" Lorelai asks, winking at Luke.

"You mean has he asked me to play house lately?" April asks, going along with Lorelai's joke. Luke huffs.

"Jeez, you two are never going to let that go." Luke surveys the room. "What is all of this?" he asks, waving a hand at the coffee table. Lorelai shoots a worried look at Rory.

"What – what do you mean?" Lorelai asks innocently.

"You wanted me to bring burgers, what's that?"

"Snacks." Luke doesn't seem pleased.

"Jeez Lorelai," Luke whines. "Anna's never going to let me spend time with April again if she finds out we're feeding her this kind of crap."

"Well April, we'll just have to keep this between ourselves," Lorelai says, winking at April, who nods, excited. "See Luke, girls just wanna have fun." Luke shakes his head.

"You really need all that food?" he asks.

"We were going to call you to see if you could pick up some ice cream," Rory says. Luke gives Lorelai a look.

"Too much?" she asks. Seeing that Luke's expression doesn't change, Lorelai nods. "Okay well we can put the Chinese in the refrigerator."

"Sounds good, I'll help," Luke says quickly. He and Lorelai both grab some Chinese and take it into the kitchen. Rory smiles at April and motions for the girl to join her on the couch.

"So you like spending time with Luke?" Rory asks. April nods.

"Yeah, he's still working out how to deal with someone younger than you but he's doing okay." Rory smirks.

"I was about your age when I first met your dad. He seemed pretty okay to me. Although that's probably because my mom was always around, driving him crazy."

"Were you close with your dad when you were my age?" Rory thinks about that a moment.

"No, not really. My dad was living in California then and he never came when he said he would. He never called when he said he would," Rory says, remembering how much it hurt when Christopher would do this. She looks down, but then looks back at April, smiling softly. "You know, actually, Luke's been more of a dad to me than my father," she admits, not noticing Luke and Lorelai standing in the doorway. Lorelai wraps her arms around Luke, from the back, placing her chin on his shoulder.

"Your parents were never married either?" April asks. Rory shakes her head. "But you see your dad more now?" Rory looks down, not wanting to tell April the truth. Lorelai realizes that Rory's stuck and decides to help.

"So I've finally convinced Luke it's all right for you to eat something that's not a grapefruit," Lorelai announces, grabbing Luke's hand and pulling him into the room behind her. "You're lucky because I think your dad has a vendetta against Willy Wonka." Rory shoots Lorelai a grateful look.

"So what are we watching?" April asks.

"I thought you might like Breakfast at Tiffany's," Rory says.

"I love that movie!" April exclaims.

"Isn't that some kind of a chick movie?" Luke grumbles. Lorelai hits him. He shrugs. "Actually, we'd like to talk to both of you before we start the movie." Luke and Lorelai share a look.

"I already know you two are dating," April says. "Don't worry, I'm not Hayley Mills."

"Got that Vicki?" Rory teases. Lorelai smiles briefly.

"Well I appreciate that, I hate to think you're going to make me go camping just to get your parents back together," Lorelai responds. She glances over at Luke. "But there's something else your dad wants to tell you." He frowns.

"Thank you for that," he mumbles. Luke walks over and moves stuff on the coffee table so he can sit on it in front of April. "April, Lorelai's pregnant. You're going to be a sister." April glances up at Lorelai, a mix of joy and surprise on her face.

"And we're having twins," Lorelai adds. Rory's mouth drops open and eyes go wide in shock.

"The dream never lies!" Rory exclaims. Luke glances over at Lorelai, giving her a strange look. She giggles nervously.

"No, Rory, the quote is 'and the dream will never die'," Lorelai says, giving Rory a look that explains everything. Rory gets up and runs to Lorelai hugging her. After they're done, Lorelai glances at April nervously, but April just grins.

"I've always wanted to be a big sister, you know, Kristy Thomas's half-sister was born when she was my age," April says. Luke seems confused. Lorelai walks over to him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"The Baby-Sitters Club, Hun," she informs him. "You gotta get with the program." Luke looks up at her.

"That's why I keep you around," he says, his eyes letting her know he means more than he's saying. She leans down and kisses him.

"Okay, I'm going to go get the taters out of the oven, Rory get the movie ready, April and Luke get comfortable, we're in for quite a night," Lorelai announces, clapping her hands. April excitedly, slides off the couch and Rory grabs the movie as Luke moves to sit on the couch, saving a room for Lorelai, who goes in the other room to get the tater tots. She stands in front of the oven a moment, breathing a sigh of relief that everything went well and smiles knowing that everything is going perfectly.
