Summary~set about two years in the future. Luke and Lorelai are married and she is pregnant. Rory seems to have the perfect boyfriend, but when someone from the past reenters her life she isn't sure what to do. This is the prequel to Here we are, once again, but it pretty much can stand on its own.

A/N:WOW. SO SORRY that this took so long.I was in Kentucky, and then south Dakota, and then Connecticut, and then my 16th birthday, and then school started, and then AP European history and sophomore chem were way harder than I thought they would be, and here I am, updating months later. Okay so my original thought for this story (and the sequel) was for it to be rory/jess eventually. But then Jess turned into even more of a jackass than he was, and I just reread the last chapter, and I think I can really go places w/ the character of Matt. Just a thought, tell me what you think though.

Several weeks later Luke and Lorelai sat lazily on the couch "Oh, oh, Brady bunch reruns.go back!" Lorelai shouted
Luke groaned
"Please?" Rory emerged from her room "Rory, tell Luke he needs to let mommy watch Brady bunch reruns"
"Ahhhh, hide the remote Luke, as soon as she enters Brady madness, she never leaves"
"I figured" Luke said, flipping the TV off
"Meanie" Lorelai pouted
"Oh yes, both of you in the same room, not doing something totally insane, and almost looking, well, bored. Time for my lists" Rory said, going into her room and returning with a handful of papers "These" she said, as if they were her prized possession "are Lane and mine baby name lists"
Lorelai took them from her daughter's hand "Why are there three?"
"This one is for if you have two girls. This one is for if you have two boys. And this one is for if you have one of each" Rory said matter-of- factly
"Pip and Estella" Lorelai read for the first list "Scout and Jem. Are there any on here that are not literary references?" she asked, handing the paper back to Rory
"You don't like them?"
Lorelai made a face
"Okay, well Arthur and Guenever are gone, so are Franny and Zooey, Antony and Cleopatra, Holden and Phoebe, Dicey and James, and Jane and Edward are all gone, so no not really" Rory replied
"You really thought we were gonna name our kid Guenvere?"
"Or Cleopatra?" Luke chimed in
"I have an unhealthy obsession with books, I know, sorry it transferred to my lists" Rory said
"Don't be sorry!" Lorelai said "Just come sit with us and mock your suggestions"
"Okay"

After a long discussion on just why Luke and Lorelai refused to name their kids Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, George, Lenny, Atticus, Reuven, Danny, Tom, Huck, Jay, Daisy, Offred, Anna, Ethan, Joe, Biddy, Oliver, Brett, or Jake, Rory had to leave to meet up with Lane and Dave for lunch, and Luke and Lorelai were left to do some serious name debating.
"Okay, George and Max" Lorelai suggested
"Like your old boyfriend? And who's George?"
"No silly. George Clooney and his pet pig Max!"
"You seriously want to name our kids after George Clooney and his pig?"
"Fine, Ross and Rachel"
"NO!" Luke said, exasperated "Sam and Diane"
"Sounds like characters from a Dr. Seuss book"
"They're cute names"
"No rhyming names" Lorelai said "Sid and Nancy"
"Absolutely not. Okay this really isn't getting anywhere. How about we just throw out individual names, and when we find two we like, we'll go from there"
"Okay" Lorelai agreed "Let's start with girls"
"Sure"
"Um Alyssa"
"That's cute. Michelle"
"Like 'You got it dude!', or like 'This one time..at band camp..I stuck a flute in"
"Okay, okay, I get it" Luke said "not Michelle" he thought "Sophia."
"Oh I like that one, she could go by Sophie, I'm putting that one on the list" She said, scribbling it down "Jennifer"
"Too common. Victoria"
"That's my middle name" Lorelai said with a grin
"I know, that's on of the reasons I like it so much. Put it on the list"
"What about Josephine?"
"I like it, but she'd need a nickname, and then she'd get all kinds of Josie and the pussycats references"
"You watched Josie and the pussycats?" Lorelai asked "Ya learn something new everyday" she added with a laugh
"Fine. She could go by Joey"
"Hello? WAY too Dawson's Creek. She could be Jo" Lorelai suggested
"In honor of Rory, I'm gonna say, no, too Little Women"
"Good point. Okay, nix Josephine. Anna"
"I like that one" Luke said, writing it on the list "Marissa"
"I like. Hallie"
"Like in the lame parent trap remake?" Luke asked
"Dude, you know Josie and the pussycats and the parent trap? You are sooo hip!!!"
Luke leaned over and kissed her long and hard "Why do you mock me when you know I'm going to have to do that to get you to shut up?"
"I mock because I care" Lorelai said, catching her breath "and put Hallie on the list"
"Morgan"
"No"
"Why not? I think its cute" Luke said
"There was this bitchy girl I knew in high school named Morgan"
"Fine. Grace."
"Cute. Can we move on to boys now?" Luke nodded "Ross"
"Is that a TV reference?"
"Um, maybe"
"No. Daniel"
"Hey! That's a TV reference too!"
"Not that I know of"
"Yeah, Sydney's fiancée was named Daniel, only then the bad guys killed him, which is the whole reason that.."
Luke cut her off "You are the only person I know who can connect any name to a television show"
"Well, you married a very gifted woman. Michael"
"Pretty common, but I like it. Joshua"
"I like. Parker"
"Too preppy sounding. Kevin"
"Nope, another American Pie reference"
"That's it, I am officially removing the TV and all of your movies from the house"
"No you're not, cause I know you can't survive without ESPN"
"Fine, you got me. Anthony"
"Sure, as long as we don't shorten it to Tony. Way too mob boss like"
"I'm gonna pretend you didn't just say that"
"Luke jr"
"Um. No."
"I like your name" Lorelai made a pouty face
"Middle name, maybe, Luke jr, no"
"Fine. Austin"
Luke stared at her "You did not just suggest that. You off all people should be the one making the 'shagadelic baby!' reference"
"Very good point. Aw you made a movie reference. You are spending way too much time with me"
"Well since you are my wife, and you are ya know, carrying my twins, I think I have the right to spend time with you"
"I'm not sure" Lorelai teased "we might have to take this to court"
"Or not" Luke said "Are we done?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I just figured we might have better things to do."
"If you're talking about what I think you're talking about.I'll be there in two minutes" Lorelai said, leaning up and kissing Luke "I love you"
"You too"

A/n: wow, major writers block. This chapter sucks, I am really sorry. I forced it cuz I hadn't written one for a long time. Suggestions and constructive criticism is appreciated..since it seems I can no longer write half decent fanfic
