A/N: Hey guys! Sorry about the long period between updates, but my computer
died and we just got a new one set up last weekend. So here the next
chapter, enjoy!
A few days after signing for Kiera, the Gilmores and Luke had started to adjust to their new lives. The town still didn't know that Kiera was officially Luke and Lorelai's child, but they were beginning to wonder were the little baby had come from. Lorelai's parents still didn't even know of the baby's existence, though they would find out at dinner later on.
"So are you sure you want to come to dinner tonight Luke, cause you could just keep Kiera and let them blow up at me, and meet you later." Lorelai said, sitting at a table in the diner, Kiera in her baby seat on an extra chair, sound asleep.
"Yes, I want to come. It wouldn't be fair to you. Besides, I'm gonna have to meet them sooner or later, especially since I'm moving in this weekend." Luke pointed out.
"I know, I know. I just hope my mother isn't rude. I know she will be, but there's always a chance of a miracle, right?"
"Sure." Luke said looking at Lorelai, thinking the proof was in the tiny baby sitting next to her that was know theirs, and the night before finding out about Natasha's accident.
"Well, I should get going. I unfortunately don't get maternity leave for adoption. That sucks huh?"
"Yah, but I think you'll live. I'll see you later." Luke said
"I'm taking an hour lunch break, so I'll come by to give you a break later, okay?"
"Sounds good." Luke said, grabbing the handle on Kiera's seat. Lorelai bent over and kissed Kiera's forehead, and left for work. Luke brought Kiera behind the counter to a small space he'd made for the time being. He planned on making a larger space when he found some time. He reached down and caressed her little cheek, before making his rounds.

"Okay, so no quick movements or she'll attack, and don't be too jumpy. Remember my mother can smell fear. And her bark is worse than her bite. Almost like a dog. Hmmm."
"Don't be so dramatic Lorelai. And that's not a very nice thing to say about your mother. I met her once, and she seemed nice enough."
"Ah, but see she was upset, and when she's upset she changes. Almost like a chameleon." Luke shook his head and rung the doorbell, Lorelai and Rory giggling behind him. He shifted the weight of the small sleeping baby in his arms. As soon as the door opened both Rory and Lorelai sobered up.
"Well, he..who are you? And why on earth do you have a baby in your arms?" Emily asked Luke.
"Um, mom if ya let us in I'll tell you everything."
"Fine, come in." Emily said moving out of the way. Once they were all situated inside, Emily turned to Luke. "I remember who you are; you're the ice man, from Rory's birthday, and the man from when Richard was in the hospital."
"Very good mom, but he has a name."
"No need to be rude Lorelai, its Luke, right?"
"Yes Mrs. Gilmore, it is."
"Well, how are you, and who is this?" Emily asked pointing to Kiera.
"I'm fine, and this is Kiera, my daughter."
"You have a daughter? Lorelai why didn't you tell me this? I swear she doesn't tell me anything."
"Uh, mom she's my daughter too and the reason you didn't know is cause we just adopted her a few days ago, and decided just to tell you tonight."
"You ADOPTED her and didn't even consult me? And on the other hand what were you thinking, I mean you're not even dating this man and you decide to adopt a child, a BABY with him?"
"Well um, you see we didn't really know we would be adopting her, until we found out her mother had died in a car accident. She's um, technically Luke's niece. It's a really long story I really don't want to get into. Basically, I found her on my doorstep, and took care of her for a while, with Luke's help and then her mother took her back. Her mom was only sixteen and in way over her head. So anyways, they live in California and went back there. Then we find out her mom and grandparents were killed in a car wreak, and Luke and I were left custody."
"Well.I see..Um.." Lorelai sat there waiting for Emily's next comment, nervous about what she might say once she got over her shock. "I hope you two can make this work. Are you getting married? Because if you're going to raise a child together, you should get married, or at least move in together. You don't want the baby to grow up living in two different houses do you?"
"Well.actually Luke's moving in this weekend." Lorelai said, in utter shock her mother had told her that they should take Kiera back to be someone else's problem.
"Well good. Now what is her name?"
"Kiera, Kiera Gilmore Danes." Luke supplied since Lorelai obviously wasn't able to, as she was sitting with a very surprised expression on her face.
"Surprisingly I approve, though I really don't understand why. Richard should be pleased. He finally has a second grand child. Though I think he was hoping for a grandson. Eh, maybe in the future. Now let's eat and I'll have Clarice make up something for Kiera."
"Wow." Rory and Lorelai said in sync.
"See Lorelai it wasn't that bad, now let's go eat. I'm hungry." Luke got up and followed Emily into the dinning room with Kiera. Lorelai and Rory looked at each other for a moment before shrugging and joining Luke, Emily and Kiera into the dinning room.

A/N: I know I didn't really get into Rory's reaction, but I just want to get the tell Emily chapter up. I'll have Rory's reaction explored in the next chapter, along with Richard's and the town's. So review review review!!! Please?
