Moswen: Yeah, Luke is a bit of a coward.. blah.. the first time I wrote this chapter, I did it like he just walked in and was like "I LOVE YOU LORELAI!" (I think it was cuz
I just watched the scene in "It's a Wonderful Life" when Donna Reed comes back from college and Jimmy Stewart and she are talking on the phone to that guy in New York.. and then suddenly Jimmy grabs
her arms and starts yelling and then they kiss.. and that is like the most wonderful movie ever!!) So i was like all inspired by that.. But Luke's not Jimmy Stewart.. he's luke and we love him!
starbelly: Lol, yes we love Luke!
Dawnmeister: lol the epilogue in your head... I love happy endings...hehe thanks for reading!

December
"It's snowing!!!" Luke looked up from the counter. "Oh." He looked back down at his papers. "Oh?" She scoffed. "That's all you can say?" "Oh, it's snowing," He said smugly. "Blah! You're no fun," She pouted and folded her arms across her chest. "It's the first snow of the year! And you know what that means!" "First snow-shoveling of the year?" "Gah!" Lorelai shook her head. "First snow walk of the year!" She reached across the counter. "Come on…" Luke sighed. "Lorelai, I have to organize these…" She pulled him from behind the counter. "Hey!" He protested as they left the diner. "I need my jacket…" "Stay here," Lorelai instructed sternly and ran into the diner. Moments later, she ran out with his jacket. "Okay, let's go." Luke took the jacket and gave her a perplexed look. "So what do we do now?" He had never been on a 'snow walk' before. "Walk!" Smiling, Lorelai grabbed his hand and pulled him across the street. "And try to eat some snow." She tilted her head back. "You know, you shouldn't do that," He warned. "These days, due to pollution, the snow contain a lot of acid rain and toxins…" "Oh, blah," Lorelai replied and rolled her eyes. "Coffee's probably kill me first anyways." Luke felt a smile tugging at the edge of his mouth. At least she admitted it. He stood there, watching her with her head tilted back and her arms open wide. She turned around in circles and sighed happily. "Isn't this the prettiest sight ever?" She asked him, her face glowing. "Yeah," He replied, his eyes still on her. "It is." He cleared his throat. "Can I ask you a question?" "Okay," She replied, her eyes still tilted to the sky. "I.. um.. kinda always wondered…," Luke said and then cleared his throat. "Craig was like the perfect match for you," Luke said, looking at her trying to catch snowflakes in her mouth. "Why me? Why did you fall in love with me?" She stopped trying to catch the lively flakes in her mouth and looked at him adoring. "Because," Lorelai answered. She paused. "I needed someone like you." Luke smiled one of his rare grins. "Good answer," Luke said. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder as their walked. "And.. cause you make great coffee," Lorelai said, smiling slyly. Luke just rolled his eyes. ********************* About a year later, October "Lorelai, you owe me," Luke growled into her ear as they walked by giggling bystanders. "That's real pretty, Luke!" Someone yelled out. Luke just narrowed his eyes and eyed the loud-mouth bystander, remembering his face so he could bust it later. "I mean it, Lorelai." "I heard his pirouettes are unrivaled!" yelled another voice. Luke's eyes narrowed further. "Maybe Miss Patty could use you in her dance classes!" "Aww, Lukey," Lorelai stifled a laugh. "I think you look sexy," She whispered into his ear. He looked at her, his eyes gleaming and a sly smile on his face. "I think you look sexy…" He eyed her. Lorelai feigned a look of surprise. "Why, Mr. Danes, that is highly inappropriate language to use in front of minors on this glorious holiday. Have the townies seen the seductive side of the flannel-clad supposedly quiet coffee-serving diner man?" "No," Luke grunted. "But now, thanks to you, they've seen way too much." Lorelai giggled and glanced at him in all his glamour. She, on the other hand, was wearing something a little more normal: black leggings, a tight black shirt with a pink donut on it, and a polka dotted pink bandana. She was a donut. And Luke was her Jolly Green Giant. He didn't understand the logic of their costumes at all, but apparently it made a lot of sense to Lorelai and Rory. And only to Lorelai and Rory. The two had been giggling for hours after coming up with the idea. Luke had just shrugged and agreed to the idea, not knowing that their evil plan would involve his wearing green tights. Luke groaned again and looked down at himself. Luke was wearing green tights and a green flannel shirt with a belt around his waist. He looked ridiculous. Smirking, Jess walked by the couple with his arm around Rory. "Don't say a word," Luke warned him. Jess put up his hands in surrender and smiled. "I think the costume speaks for itself," Jess replied, hiding a smile. "Come on, Scarlet." Rory just giggled and walked away with Rhett (aka Jess). Luke threw his arms in the air. "Lorelai," He said turning to her. "Why couldn't we be a normal couple like…" He looked around the square. Okay, so no one was really a normal couple.. He pointed at his nephew and her daughter. "The tumultuous vixen, who at the end of the greatest epic of all time, besides Clueless of course, returns to her damned house, Tara, letting her foxy lover walk away from her life?" Lorelai asked, raising a brow. "That's not normal.. Plus I never liked that silly mustache on Clark Gable's face." She put her hands on her hips. "Although, I must admit I like the idea of being a tumultuous vixen." She looked deep in thought (or at least, as deep in thought as donuts can be). Luke shrugged in defeat. "Anything but the tights…" Smiling, Lorelai put her arms around his waist. "But don't you like it just a little?" "No." Luke sighed. "I like it." A sly smile spread across her face. Luke rolled his eyes. "I don't even know how this makes sense..," Luke replied frowning. "I know…," Lorelai said, her face nearing his. She kissed him. "But, I do know this makes sense…" She put her arms around his waist. Luke smiled, tights and all. "Nice costume, Luke," Taylor said approvingly as he passed. Luke's eyes narrowed. "Calm down, Luke," Lorelai whispered. "I think he was actually complimenting you." She cocked her head. "Actually, that's rather scary." Luke nodded and watched as the cardigan-clad grocer walked across the green to the gazebo. "Attention, everyone!" He boomed into the microphone. The noise level increased. "PEOPLE!" People started to walk away from the gazebo. "OKAY, IF YOU DON'T LISTEN UP, I'M GONNA PUT KIRK ON THE STAND HERE!" Grumbling, the crowd ventured back towards the gazebo. "HEY!" Kirk yelled. "THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" Lorelai giggled as Kirk raised his fists at Taylor. "My money's on Taylor," Luke whispered. "Mine's on Kirk," Lorelai whispered back as they watched the two argue. Finally, Taylor ushered Kirk off the gazebo and grabbed the microphone. "Damn that Kirk," Lorelai grumbled as Luke put out his hand for his money. "Welcome to Star's Hollow's annual Halloween Fest! As you can see, the food has been set up on tables down the street. And the treating has been arranged down there…" "Treating?" "Taylor decided that 'trick-or-treating' had a bad implication, so he changed it," Lorelai explained. "I think that cardigan holds a bad implication.. Who knows what sort of sexy body he holds under that wool fashion statement?" Luke closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. "I just pictured that, and it wasn't pretty," He grumbled. Lorelai made a face. "Yeah, I have an active imagination that must be curved. I just pictured that and it wasn't pretty either." "I should go tend to the trick-or-treating crowd." She nodded. "I think I'll stay around here for a while." Lorelai considered the possibilities. "Oh, no," she said, shaking her head. "You are not changing back." He rolled his eyes. "I won't." "Sure?" "Yes." "Okay," She said hesitantly and watched him leave. ********************* Half an hour later "Have you guys gone trick-or-treating? Did you happen to see Luke?" Lorelai furrowed her brow and looked around. She wondered if he had changed back. He better not have. Rory looked up from her book and shrugged. Jess looked up from his book and shrugged. "Blah," Lorelai said as the pair turned back to their tomes. "I guess I should go check up on him at the house. See you guys later." As she approached the house, she saw a group of little witches and goblins walk up to the porch and ring the doorbell. She stopped behind one of the trees and watched from across the street. Luke opened the door. "TRICK OR TREAT!" They yelled, their voices ringing in the cold October air. "Here you go," Luke grumbled and distributed the candy. The little kids tittered excitedly and started to walk down the porch steps. Just as he was about to close the door, one of the goblins yelled, "Nice tights, mister!" Lorelai said Luke's face turn red. She giggled. Maybe she should relieve him of such embarrassment. Sighing, she walked across the street. 'Hm, this is a chance to get candy,' She thought as she walked up the porch steps. Ever since they started dating, he had tried to get her to eat better. She, on the other hand, tried to eat worse any chance she could get. Lorelai rang the doorbell. Luke opened the door and she smiled. "TRICK OR TREAT!" She yelled. A smile tugged at the edge of his smile. "You're just trying to get free candy." "Hey, diner man, I bought that candy," Lorelai explained, wagging a finger. "And I hid it, so you wouldn't eat all of it before Halloween," Luke replied, crossing his arms. "I know, I was upset," Lorelai said, frowning. Luke sighed. "Okay, fine, I'll give you candy." He disappeared into the house and came back with the basket. Lorelai opened her Halloween-motif bag as wide as it would open. "Put it in here, Lucas," She called out. He rolled his eyes and smiled slyly. Reaching into the basket, Luke picked out something and closed it in his fist. Then he dropped it in her bag. "Happy Halloween." Lorelai watched the ring fall into her bag. "Luke…" She looked up at him. "I need more candy than this." Before she could protest further, Luke put the basket aside and fell on one knee. "Lorelai.. Will you marry me?" A look of surprise fell across her face. As realization set in, Lorelai started to cry. Tearing, Lorelai got down next to him. "Yes.. I will!" She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Luke smiled broadly and kissed her slowly. She pulled away from him to dig the ring out of her bag of candy. He took it from her and put it on her finger. Lorelai looked at the ring. "I'm getting married..," she breathed, looking back and forth between her ring and Luke. "Me.. married..." Luke smiled, amused with her facial expression, and kissed her again. "Looks good," He said, nodding and glancing at the strawberry flavored RingPop on her finger. "Best ring ever," Lorelai nodded and licked the 'diamond'. Luke laughed and took something out of his flannel shirt pocket. "Does that mean you don't want this?" He opened up the little black velvet box and showed her a sparkling diamond ring. "Oh..," Lorelai breathed and looked up at him. She kissed him again with her strawberry flavored lips. "I love you," She said as he put the ring on her other ring finger. He hugged her. "Me too." She lifted her head from his shoulder. "Does this one have a flavor too?" ********************* Two Years Later, December Luke's Diner "Lukey!" Luke looked up with a half-smirk as Lorelai walked into the empty diner. "Hi." Lorelai smiled and walked behind the counter to hug. Just as he was about to wrap his arms around her, she walked away from him towards the coffee pot. "MMmm, smells good." Luke rolled his eyes. "You want some coffee?" "You're offering? Why, Lucas, you have never offered before..," She gave him a surprised look. He rolled his eyes and reached over to pour a cup. She shook her head. "Nah, I'm okay." Luke looked at her with questioning eyes. "Did you just say no? Lorelai Danes, did you just say no to coffee?" "Mmm," She murmured ignoring his question. She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. "Luke smells good too." Luke wrapped his arms around her. "Hey it's snowing again!" She suddenly called out, pointing out the window. Luke lifted his head to look outside. Lorelai looked up at him. "This is perfect," She whispered and gently stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. "You are perfect," He whispered and kissed the top of her head, breathing in the faint apple scent. She looked up at him, with shining eyes. "You're not too bad yourself, Mr. Danes," She said smiling. She shrugged off her jacket and he kissed her lightly on the collarbone. She twisted her head around and breathed into his ear, "Not here." "Why not?" He murmured. "Because Patty is waving at me," Lorelai said and giggled. She raised a hand to wave at Patty. Luke groaned. "Damn townspeople," He muttered and pulled away from her. "Actually, I came in here to tell you to bring cake home tonight," Lorelai said as she adjusted her shirt. She momentarily leaned on one of the stools and watched as he rearranged the menus behind the counter. "Three pieces." "Three?" Luke asked raising an eyebrow. "I thought we were going to work on eating better." Lorelai rolled her eyes. "Just bring three, please? Just this once." Luke grumbled but muttered an "Okay." Lorelai grinned and leaned across the counter to kiss him before grabbing her jacket and prancing out the door. "Come home a little early okay?" Luke nodded and smiled as he watched his wife walk towards home. ********************* Gilmore House, a couple hours later Lorelai looked around the living room and smiled proudly at what she had accomplished in the last three hours. She thought the decorations looked great. The banner, the crepe paper, the balloons.. 'All done in fabulous Bobby Trendy style,' she thought giggling. "Lorelai?" Luke called out as he entered the house. He hung his jacket on the hook near the door and walked into the living room. "Whoa." He looked around, his mouth open at the disgustingly large amount of decorations. "Uh..," He said, giving Lorelai a questioning look. "Is it that coffeemaker's birthday again?" She just smiled and gave him a silly hat to wear. "No, silly! James Folger's birthday is in June anyways. Something better." He looked at her with questioning eyes as she took the take-out box from him. "What is it?" He asked her. She just smiled and set the three slices of cake out. "Lorelai?" Lorelai took three candles out of her pocket and placed one in each slice. Then she lit each one, blowing on her fingers to extinguish the match. "Okay!" She said, giggling at his perplexed look. "Whose birthday is it?" She didn't answer his question and just gave him a slice. He sat there dumbly, as she just smiled and took his hat off his head. She put it on her own head and danced around doing a silly dance. "Happy birthday! Happy birthday!" Luke was still confused, and questioning Lorelai's sanity. "Uh…" She stopped dancing. "Blow out the candle." "It's not my birthday." "I know," She replied. "Blow it out." Luke plaintively blew the candle out, still watching her. Lorelai had a serious expression on her face. "I'm pregnant." "What?!" He looked at her, wide-eyed. "Really?" "Yes." And with that, she jumped into his lap. "I'm pregnant!" Laughing, Luke kissed her. "Happy birthday to little Lucas or little Lorelai!" She exclaimed happily and kissed him on the nose. Luke sat still, smiling broadly. "I'm gonna be a father?" "Actually, no, Kirk is the father," Lorelai said, a serious look on her face. "Human Kirk, that is, not to be confused with Cat Kirk." He made a face. "God, don't say that." Luke grimaced at the thought of Lorelai and Kirk together. "I'm sure we can work some sort of joint custody." Lorelai giggled and wrapped her arms loosely around his neck. "You could have little Kirky on Monday and Kirk could have him on Tuesday…." Luke cut her off with a kiss. "Or, we could just kidnap the kid and keep him all the time," Luke said. "Sounds good to me." Lorelai pulled away and leaned her head against his shoulder. "I'm so happy, Luke." "Me too," Luke said and lifted the bottom of her shirt to kiss her bare stomach. "Me too." *********************I finally found someone,
who knocks me off my feet.
I finally found the one,
who makes me feel complete... It started over coffee…
we started out as friends…
It's funny how from simple things,
the best things begin... This time is different;
It's all because of you!
It's better than it's ever been,
Cause we can talk it through. My favorite line was
"Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say...
To take my breath away... This is it!
Oh, I finally found someone,
Someone to share my life,
I finally found the one
to be with every night.
Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you!
My life has just begun,
I finally found someone...
Did I keep you waiting?
I didn't mind
I apologize
Baby, that's fine
I would wait forever
Just to know you were mine; You Know I love your hair...
Are you sure it looks right?
I love what you wear...
Isn't it too tight?
You're exceptional!
I can't wait for the rest of my life...
This is it...
I finally found someone;
Someone to share my life,
I finally found the one;
to be with every night... Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun,
I finally found someone... And whatever I do
It's just got to be you,
My life has just begun...
I finally found someone…
*********************THE END*********************
Thanks so much for reading!!! I hope you guys had much fun as i did writing it...
I tried to think of a way to put Craig back in teh story.. but I couldn't.. because I doubt that he would
come back to visit Luke (or Lorelai) in Star's Hollow.. SO let's just pretend that Craig met a wonderful lady who loved him
and they lived happily ever after, having lots and lots of little Greek babies (in the tradition of My Big Fat Greek Wedding of course)!
So this is the end, I want to thank you again for reading and reviewing.. I haven't thought of any new ideas
at this point. Most likely, I'm going to continue my story "What If", which is (of course) yet
another javajunkie!
I also look forward to reading your stories.. most of which I have read (cuz I'm one of those people who go hunt down all the JJs and read
them all...)
JAVAJUNKIES ARE THE BEST!
=)

P.S. "I finally Found Someone" - Barbara Streisand & Bryan Adams (this is an awesome song! One of my favorite love songs, and it's not becuase of the whole L/L implications in it either..)
Thanks again! =)

Lorelai grinned and leaned across the counter to kiss him before grabbing her jacket and prancing out the door. "Come home a little early okay?" Luke nodded and smiled as he watched his wife walk towards home. ********************* Gilmore House, a couple hours later Lorelai looked around the living room and smiled proudly at what she had accomplished in the last three hours. She thought the decorations looked great. The banner, the crepe paper, the balloons.. 'All done in fabulous Bobby Trendy style,' she thought giggling. "Lorelai?" Luke called out as he entered the house. He hung his jacket on the hook near the door and walked into the living room. "Whoa." He looked around, his mouth open at the disgustingly large amount of decorations. "Uh..," He said, giving Lorelai a questioning look. "Is it that coffeemaker's birthday again?" She just smiled and gave him a silly hat to wear. "No, silly! James Folger's birthday is in June anyways. Something better." He looked at her with questioning eyes as she took the take-out box from him. "What is it?" He asked her. She just smiled and set the three slices of cake out. "Lorelai?" Lorelai took three candles out of her pocket and placed one in each slice. Then she lit each one, blowing on her fingers to extinguish the match. "Okay!" She said, giggling at his perplexed look. "Whose birthday is it?" She didn't answer his question and just gave him a slice. He sat there dumbly, as she just smiled and took his hat off his head. She put it on her own head and danced around doing a silly dance. "Happy birthday! Happy birthday!" Luke was still confused, and questioning Lorelai's sanity. "Uh…" She stopped dancing. "Blow out the candle." "It's not my birthday." "I know," She replied. "Blow it out." Luke plaintively blew the candle out, still watching her. Lorelai had a serious expression on her face. "I'm pregnant." "What?!" He looked at her, wide-eyed. "Really?" "Yes." And with that, she jumped into his lap. "I'm pregnant!" Laughing, Luke kissed her. "Happy birthday to little Lucas or little Lorelai!" She exclaimed happily and kissed him on the nose. Luke sat still, smiling broadly. "I'm gonna be a father?" "Actually, no, Kirk is the father," Lorelai said, a serious look on her face. "Human Kirk, that is, not to be confused with Cat Kirk." He made a face. "God, don't say that." Luke grimaced at the thought of Lorelai and Kirk together. "I'm sure we can work some sort of joint custody." Lorelai giggled and wrapped her arms loosely around his neck. "You could have little Kirky on Monday and Kirk could have him on Tuesday…." Luke cut her off with a kiss. "Or, we could just kidnap the kid and keep him all the time," Luke said. "Sounds good to me." Lorelai pulled away and leaned her head against his shoulder. "I'm so happy, Luke." "Me too," Luke said and lifted the bottom of her shirt to kiss her bare stomach. "Me too." *********************
who knocks me off my feet.
I finally found the one,
who makes me feel complete... It started over coffee…
we started out as friends…
It's funny how from simple things,
the best things begin... This time is different;
It's all because of you!
It's better than it's ever been,
Cause we can talk it through. My favorite line was
"Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say...
To take my breath away... This is it!
Oh, I finally found someone,
Someone to share my life,
I finally found the one
to be with every night.
Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you!
My life has just begun,
I finally found someone...
Did I keep you waiting?
I didn't mind
I apologize
Baby, that's fine
I would wait forever
Just to know you were mine; You Know I love your hair...
Are you sure it looks right?
I love what you wear...
Isn't it too tight?
You're exceptional!
I can't wait for the rest of my life...
This is it...
I finally found someone;
Someone to share my life,
I finally found the one;
to be with every night... Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun,
I finally found someone... And whatever I do
It's just got to be you,
My life has just begun...
I finally found someone…
