Title:Before It's Too Late
Summary:Luke and Lorelai are getting married, to different people. Will they finally see what people have been telling them before they both say I Do?
*****
Lorelai was shocked -- the letter was an invitation -- to Luke's Wedding! She was confused and was mad. Luke proposed? Already? So many things were on Lorelai's mind. She quickly told Michel to take over for a while -- since she needed to talk to Luke.
She walked to Luke's and opened the door when she got there.
"What's this?" Lorelai asked Luke
"Oh so you got it?" Luke said
"Yeah I did -- what are you thinking?"
"Lorelai come on you said it yourself that I should propose."
"Yeah but isn't this so soon, I mean you--" Lorelai began. She stopped talking and looked at Luke. She was going to lose her best friend -- and she didn't want to.
"Listen you don't have to go." Luke said, He wondered why Lorelai cared so much.
Lorelai -- still looking at Luke didn't say anything she didn't know what to say -- not anymore. She sighed and finally spoke up,
"Okay, listen I'm sorry okay? I just was suprised that's all. I'm happy for you." That was very hard for Lorelai to say and Luke knew by the tone in her voice.
"Okay do you want coffee?"
"I better go back to the inn." Lorelai left -- slamming the door behind her.
****
Lorelai sat on the couch eating a gallon of ice cream and watching some old show. She couldn't stop thinking about what happened that afternoon. She was still upset -- still hurt.
"C'mon you can't stay here forever." Rory said
"Wanna bet?" Lorelai said
"No, not really. Let's just go to Luke's."
"No, um let's just eat here."
"Um.. you're eating the only food worth eating."
"Oh, sorry."
"It's okay, you're depressed about the wedding."
"How did you know?" Lorelai asked.
"Luke told me -- a couple of weeks ago. Told me to not to tell you. But now since you know.."
"What? Since now I know what?"
"That Luke wants me to be a bridesmaid." Rory said quickly.
"Wow." Lorelai was shocked, Rory always told her everything -- not this time.
"Are you mad?"
"No, I'm happy I mean I do have you and Alex."
"Yeah, let's just order Chinese okay?"
****
The next morning-- Lorelai was awaken by a very annoying sound of her alarm clock.
"Alright I'm up!" Lorelai said in a very annoyed tone.
"Rory!" she yelled
"Yeah?" Rory sounded tired too.
They both got dressed and Rory had to drag Lorelai to Luke's -- literally.
"Can I just wait here?" Lorelai asked.
"No, just come in order eat and get out."
"If only it were that easy." Lorelai said
"It is -- we're in we're out."
Lorelai finally agreed and they walked in. Lorelai saw Luke behind the counter and cracked a smile. They walked to the counter and sat down.
"What do you want?" Luke asked in his regular tone.
"Coffee and pancakes" Rory said.
"Lorelai?" Luke asked
"Um, I'll have--" Lorelai started but then Alex came in.
"Hey." Alex said kissing Lorelai. Luke went in the kitchen -- as always -- and got Lorelai and Rory's food ready. He still didn't know why he did this EVERYTIME Alex came in and kissed Lorelai. He came back out a couple of minutes later with their food and saw that Alex was STILL there. He sighed and spoke up,
"Here's your food."
"Thanks.." Rory said. She knew Luke didn't want to see her mom and Alex together.
"Luke, um -- " Lorelai started , " Alex wants coffee too so--"
"I'll get it"
"I'll help" Rory said
"You don't need to." Luke said handing Rory a cup
"I need ot talk"
"To me"
"Yeah, you don't like Alex don't you?"
"I don't know if "don't like" are the right words. Try hate"
"He is a nice guy... once you get to know him"
"Yeah but.. I don't think he's right for your mom."
"Aww.. you care about her don't you?"
"No -- um.. yes..I don't know. I just don't wanna see her getting hurt -- again."
"She's not. She'll always be here for you and she won't get hurt."
"Oh my god." Luke said looking at Alex.
"What?" Rory said turning around, "Whoa."
Alex bent down on one knee and said those four words and could change Lorelai's life -- FOREVER.
"Will you marry me?"
Lorelai was shocked -- scared.. she looked at Luke and Rory and didn't say anything.
A/N:Next up: Will Lorelai say yes?..Is Luke falling in love with Lorelai? And is Jess in this story at all? All this coming up next!
