So today is April 25th, which means it is Lorelai Gilmores birthday. Even though I posted a chapter yesterday and said that was her birthday tribute, I decided to write something quick for her actual birthday instead
I hope you guys are staying happy and healthy during this time
...
Update - I took this chapter down to review it, because it was kind rushed. So here it is again, updated and worded better :)
Also today is my birthday, and it kinda sucked being stuck inside but I had a great day celebrating with my family

Chapter 28 - Lorelai's Birthday
The twins were now almost 7 months old, and were thriving.
Lorelai had returned to work full time Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and was doing every other Friday morning. Luke had the twins at work while Lorelai was working, and they enjoyed their new routine.
4 months later...
Tuesday April 25th 2006
Lorelai felt lucky that she had her birthday off work. She woke up at 8, to the smell of coffee and bacon. She hated the fact she was now 37 years old, as she didn't want to think about getting another year closer to 40
She slowly stretched, and headed downstairs, where she saw Will and Lottie in their high chairs eating mashed bananas and Luke at the oven cooking her breakfast
"Something smells crazy good down here" Lorelai says, taking a seat at the table
"Anything for the birthday girl" Luke says, walking over the give her a kiss
"hmmm, d-day" Lorelai says, she hated the thought of getting close to the age of 40 because it made her feel old
"Your still young" Luke says, plating up her breakfast
"I'm one year closer to 40. 40 makes me feel old" Lorelai says
"Well thanks, that makes me feel good about my birthday coming up in November" Luke says, causing Lorelai to chuckle
...
"You have to work on my birthday?" Lorelai whines, as Luke prepares to leave the house
"It's only for a bit and then I will be home to celebrate" Luke says, as he places a kiss on each twins head and then comes over and does the same to Lorelai.
"We might pop into the diner later anyway, I'm gonna be bored sitting around here all day" Lorelai says
"Good I will see you later" Luke says
"Bye doll" Lorelai says, as she watches his truck pull off
...
At 10 Lorelai had finished getting ready for the day, she had put the necklace on that she received as a present from Luke and headed towards the twins room to get them ready
"How about we get you little monkey's ready for the day, huh" She says, as she walks over to the cots
Will and Lottie smile in response to their mother, as they wave their arms around
"Shall we go find dada at work?" She asks, causing Lottie to laugh.
Over the last few months it had become apparent that Lottie was a daddies girl and Will was a mommy's boy.
Lorelai dressed Lottie in a cute pinafore dress set, and Will in his flannel and jeans.
After packing their bag for the day, they were ready to set off for lunch at Lukes.
...
Once she arrives at the diner she sits in her new usual table, by the window looking through to the soda shop, and pulls the hoods down of the pram so the twins could see.
"There we go, you can finally see" Lorelai says, using each hand to tickle the twins tummies. After they learned to sit by themselves, it was time to use the part of the stroller that allowed them to sit up. Lorelai hated this, as her babies were officially growing bigger.
"I thought I heard you come in" Luke says, as he kisses the top of her head.
"We were getting very bored at home" Lorelai says, as she hands Lottie and Will their rattles (That immediately go in their mouths)
"Coffee?" Luke asks, already knowing the answer
"You have to ask?" Lorelai questions, of course she wants coffee
"Coming right up" Luke says, smiling as he walks away
...
It wasn't long before Lorelai's table was filled with many of the towns people, wanting to see the twins
"They've got so big" Babette exclaims, as she hands Will a toy.
"Oh I know" Lorelai says, as she gently lies Lottie's seat down as she had fallen asleep
"Here you go, one cheese burger and fries" Luke says, placing the food in front of Lorelai
"Thank you, your an angel" Lorelai says
...
1pm
Lorelai headed home again after she finished her lunch, so the twins could sleep and so she could get a nap herself
Luke got home at 3, and was concerned to hear the house empty.
He gently climbed the stairs and smiled as he saw the twins, kicking their legs and babbling to themselves from their cots. He quietly closed the door, and smiled as he saw his wife curled up on the bed asleep.
He gently kneeled next to her, and carefully woke her up.
"Lorelai" He said, tucking her hair behind her ears
"hmmm" she said, groggily, slowly opening her eyes
"I'm home" He says, as he places a kiss on her head
"I'm awake" She said, sitting up
"How long did you sleep for?" He questioned, as he sat beside her on the bed
"I came in for a nap after putting the twins down for theirs, and then I woke up to feed them and then I came back to sleep" She said
...
After they both got the twins back to sleep, the couple decided on movie night
"I haven't done movie night, since the night before our wedding" Lorelai says, resting her head against his shoulder. They had decided on watching Casablanca, Little Women and Hard bodies (If they could make it through all 3)
Rory had called earlier in the day, to wish her mother a happy birthday and to apologise for not being able to see her. Lorelai was disappointed, but understood that Rory was in college now and wasn't going to be able to come see her mother all the time. Lorelai had found it difficult not seeing Rory as much, even though she had started college well over a year ago. The Mother Daughter duo had become so busy the only way they could see each other was on certain weekends and at Friday night dinners.
...
Lorelai had made it through all of Casablanca and half way through Little Women before she fell asleep, and that's when Luke decided to carry her to bed.
"Happy Birthday Baby" He said, tucking her in
"Thank you" Lorelai replied, still sleep
...
This one is short, but I wanted to write something to commemerate Lorealai's birthday :)
Hope you enjoyed
