Summary: She didn't want just an ending with him, she wanted a middle too. This is the beginning of her middle…
A/N: I know I said I was going to post a different story first, but I decided that I would post this first because we're already past the 7th episode of the season and it'll give people something to read this week when there's no new episode. Please review
So yes, this story iswhat I think happens after the screen fades to black each week. There should be a chapter for each episode.
Review
"Lorelai! Full Moon! Moment's here!" He called. I wiped the tears away and stood up, trying to put on a fake smile for him. I didn't want to talk about it, I didn't want him knowing how broken I was. I wanted to be happy. I wanted him to be happy. I didn't want any drama, not tonight.
I walked out in the hall and there he was, standing by the front door, with the biggest smile on his face. Then I came closer to him and his smile began to fade.
"Have you been crying?" He asked me, while touching my face and running his fingers down my cheek.
I put on a nice smile for him and said, "I'm OK, now."
He pulled me into a hug. I knew he didn't believe me, he could always tell when I was sad. I have always been so good at pretending to be strong, when really I'm so upset. I've always been able to fool people, but not Luke. He always knows.
I rested my head on his shoulder and he rubbed my back. He said something about a moment before, didn't he?
I looked at him. He looked so worried. I hate making him worried. "You said something about a moment." I told him.
"What moment?"
"It's OK…We'll do it later." He told me.
"No, c'mon. I'm OK, now." I told him. But, this time I wasn't lying or pretending. He could always make things OK.
He nodded and took my hand. "OK, let's go."
He led me outside, on to the lawn.
"OK…so…?" I said.
"OK, well…I know that technically, we're already engaged. But you know, I've never been into that modern stuff, so…" He began. I could feel a huge, stupid, grin forming on my face. I didn't even consider that he would do something like this, but I wasn't surprised at all.
"See, if I was the one that asked you to marry me then I probably would have waited." He said. What was he talking about? He began to look around and then he started leading me to another place in the yard.
"I probably would have waited until the first snow of the season because well, I know how much you love the snow. And you always say that good things happen in the snow, and I would consider this a good thing." He said, and then he looked up at me, like he wanted confirmation.
"It is. It's a very good thing." I smiled. How did he know me so well? Max proposed with 1000 yellow daises because I told him to. And he didn't even get me the horse. Luke would have gottenme 10horses. But, he knows me so well that, he would have done it in the snow. It's not like I even needed a special proposal from him, but he wanted to give me one. A proposal in the snow.
"And, so I'm thinking I would be standing here, probably at 1 in the morning because you'd drag me out here to be in the snow with you." He continued. "And I'd be here, watching you make snow angels over there." He pointed to a random place in the yard. "And, I'd watch you catch snowflakes over there." He pointed again.
"Then, you'd come over to me and go on about how great things happen in the snow and I'd say something sarcastic about slipping on ice or having to shovel driveways. Then you would tell me I was wrong and how amazing the snow is and some of the best moments you'd had were in the snow. Then I would say something about …Well, I still haven't figured out the way we'd get from there to the proposal part, but get back to me in a couple days and maybe I'll know." He said. I wanted to stop grinning at him like an idiot but, I couldn't.
"And I'd tell you how amazing you are and all the things I love about you, then I'd get down on one knee." As he said this, he let go of my hand and began to get down on one knee. "And I would show you this ring." He said as he took out a small, velvet, box from his coat pocket. He opened it and revealed the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. It was so incredible and I couldn't wait for him to put it on my finger.
"And then I'd say 'Lorelai, will you marry me?' and then you'd say…?" He said, waiting for my answer.
"Yes." I told him simply, with a little hint of 'duh' in my tone.
He nodded, and smiled. He stared at me for a moment and then stood up and came very close to me. He took the ring out of the box and I put out my left hand. He touched my ring finger gently and slid the ring on it. I swear, I felt some chill or tingly feeling in my body when he put it on. I looked at it for a moment and smiled, letting him know that I absolutely loved it. Then, I leaned in and kissed him, deepening the kiss every second. I never wanted the moment to end. It was so perfect.
He pulled away after a few minutes and he took my left hand.
"I love it." I told him. I could tell he was waiting for me to tell him that. I really did love it, though. I never wanted to take it off.
"Good." He told me plainly. But, I could see that he was very relieved I said it. "I thought you would." He added.
"Well, you thought right, mister." I told him, wrapping an arm around his neck and leaning in for a quick kiss. "So, how are we going to celebrate this time?" I asked, smiling.
"I thought you wanted to drink Zima every night?" He asked playfully.
"No, not tonight." I told him.
"Wanna go for a walk?" I asked him, taking his hand.
"You're going to drag me along while you show every single person in the whole town your ring,and give them all of the details of tonight which, by the way, would completely ruin my repuation... aren't you?" He asked. I laughed a little bit as we started walking down the lit upstreet. It was as if everyone knew what had just happened. The entire street was lit up beautifully. It all looked so different, like it was glowing at the moment.
"No, that can wait until tomorrow." I smiled.
He rolled his eyes at me and I put my head on his shoulder. And then, we walked, hand in hand, under the full moon.
It still amazes me how he always seems to make everything better. He always knows when something's wrong. He always knows exactly how to fix it. He always knows the right thing to say. He always knows how to make me laugh. He always knows when I need to laugh. And, now I can add another thing to the10 thousand page list I'm going to make someday:
He always picks the best moments.
Please review. Thoughts/Suggestions/Ideas always welcome. Please tell me anything I could do to improve this. Thanks. Oh and also, if you haven't, you should check out my other stories. One of them is called Stand Still. I just finished that one. It's one of those 'Luke and Lorelai break up, then Lorelai takes Mike's Armstrong's job' story. But this one is much different. After 5 years, Lorelai comes back to give Luke something. When she arrives she finds out that so much has changed. That summary is bad but I don't want to give anything away if you haven't read it yet. So, yes, please check it out. My other story is called Diary. I'm still writing that one. It takes place in Season 4, right after Lorelai breaks up with Jason. She's lonely and bored and starts looking through her diary. Hmmm...It's better than it sounds. I'm just sucking at summarizing my stories today. So yeah, if you want to know more about those just go to my main page and look at my stories. Thanks. Review!
I know my stories usually have longer chapters, but this one probably won't have extremely long chapters every update.
