All right. I know all of you like Trory or Rory and Dean together, but this is a Lorelai and Luke series. Sorry, I'm trying to limit the Rory/relationship storylines because I prefer L/L shorelines. Sorry again. I know there are L/L shippers and this is a story for them.

February 14th, 2002

Their first Valentine's Day as a couple. This was a huge deal. Lorelai had wanted this to be special, but noting seemed to be going right. She had asked Sookie to cook a wonderful dinner for them, but she said she was too busy that she couldn't. She had wanted to reserve a room at the Inn, but Michel said they were booked solid. She had wanted to where her sparkly red dress, but she couldn't seem to find it. Lorelai sat on her bed in her underwear and hair curlers when Rory walked in.

"You're not going to wear that are you?" She asked.

"I thought my birthday suit would like nice." Lorelai mumbled.

"Yeah, Maybe for later, but not at first. Unless you don't want to drop subtle hints." Rory chuckled, "I have a surprise for you."

"Is it a gun to the head?" Lorelai asked.

"No. It's much better. You can wear it when you find a loaded gun though." Rory smiled holding up the red dress. Lorelai jumped up.

"Where did you find that??" She snatched it from her daughter's grip.

"It was in the downstairs closet with some hockey equipment." Rory said, "Why do we have hockey equipment?"

"Winter of 1997." Lorelai said.

"Ooh right. That!" Rory smiled, "And you can wear the necklace and earrings I wore to my coming out."

"Oh Rory." Lorelai grinned, "You're my favourite daughter."

"I'm your only daughter."

"Then that's good for you." She winked pulling the dress on. Rory grinned as she watched her mother do her hair.

"You're going to have so much fun." Rory giggled and ran downstairs to answer the door. Lorelai chuckled as she hairsprayed her hair. "Hurry up, Mom!!!"

"I'm coming." Lorelai muttered putting Rory's earrings on. She spritzed perfume in the air and waved it on her. Lorelai glanced at herself in the mirror and then raced downstairs. A giant grin came across her face as she looked at Luke. He was dressed in a suit with his hair slicked back.

"Wow." Luke whispered, "Lore, you look….wow." Lorelai smiled.

"You don't look half bad yourself." She smiled reaching out a taking his hand. Rory grinned broadly.

"Now, you two go and have fun." Rory smiled, "I won't wait up."

"Ah huh." They mumbled leaving.

Luke helped the blindfolded Lorelai from the car.

"Taking me to the woods and murdering me?" She asked. Luke chuckled helping up the stairs.

"Yup." Luke opened the door and helped her in, "Sit right here." Lorelai obeyed. Luke removed the blindfold. Lorelai sat at a candle lit dinner in the middle of Stars Hallow Inn.

"What's going on?" She smiled.

"Well, I rented Sookie for the night and got us a room here." Luke smiled. Lorelai's eyes widened.

"Oh my god Luke. Michel said it was booked and Sookie said she was busy." She felt like she was going to cry.

"I know. All my doing." Luke smiled sitting down in the chair opposite her.

"This is all....amazing." Lorelai whispered, "Nobody has ever really done this for me before."

"Well, this is the first of many romantic nights ahead of us." Luke said. Lorelai smiled softly looking down at the covered plate.

"What's for dinner?" She asked. Luke cleared his throat.
"Why don't you have a look?" He smiled softly. Lorelai smiled a lifted the cover off. Her face dropped. In the middle of her plate, sat a tiny box with a diamond ring sitting in it. She looked at Luke.

"Wh-Wh-Wh-What...." She couldn't even form words. Luke stood up and walked to her side and knelt down.

"I've thought long and hard about this, Lorelai. My life isn't complete because I don't have you and Rory there every moment." He said. "I want to wake up next to you every morning. I want you to have my name. Will you marry me, Lorelai?"

"Oh my god." Lorelai whispered. She sat there staring at the ring. She was engaged before, but didn't go through with it. She wanted to marry Luke. "Luke, there's...I'm a package. I can't just marry anyone without discussing it with my daughter."

"I asked Rory for your hand in marriage last week." Luke smiled. Lorelai stared at him.

"What?" She whispered. Luke chuckled taking the ring off of the plate.

"Last week, I told Rory that I wanted to marry you, but I wanted to see if it was okay with her. She said she wanted us to get married more than anything." Luke said sliding the ring onto Lorelai's finger, "She wants you to be happy."

"Oh god." She whispered.

"Will you marry me, Lorelai?" Luke whispered hoarsely. Her heart pounded in her chest. Her head felt like it was dancing. She nodded.

"Yes." She said breathlessly, "I'll marry you, Luke." Lorelai threw her arms around his neck and started to cry softly. "God, Luke." Sookie burst in with a huge grin on her face.

"TO the newly engaged couple, roasted duck." She said putting plates on the table. She could barely keep her excitement at bay, but this wasn't the time for jumping up and down screaming. Lorelai grinned wiping her eyes.

"Thank you." She whispered. Lorelai took in a deep breath. She just got engaged...again. She smiled at Luke. "This is the best Valentines Day ever."
