Disclaimer: I don't own them....or the song in this chapter.
P.S. In this chapter the italics are because we are hearing the song fade in and out as people are talking. I thought that the song "Angel Eyes" by Jeff Healy was the perfect was to describe Luke and Lorelais relationship. You should check out the song if you aren't familiar.Chapter 9- New Love, Old Love, and True LoveThey made a quick lap around town, just long enough to let all the finishing touches get done back at the reception at the Inn. The dance floor was set up outside with a million twinkle lights including the same ones that Luke had used to propose with. The night was beautiful to be under the stars. When the mustang pulled up Luke, who was now playing DJ announced to the waiting guests.
"And now, I once again give you...Mr. and Mrs..." Rory interrupted him and whispered in his ear. "Umm Mr. and Mrs. Backwards Baseball Cap." Kirk said looking confused.
Luke and Lorelai made their way in to the reception and sat down at the head table. To a feast fit for a King that Sookie prepared. Rory sat next to Lorelai and Logan next to her.
Jess sat by Luke, his mother and TJ next to him. Once everyone had almost finished their meals. Rory stood up and gave a toast.
"I would like to propose a toast. To my mom and Luke, with people like the two of you in my life, I have nothing to worry about, you are my best friends, my biggest cheerleaders and the best parents...and I do include you in that Luke...that a girl could ever have. I love you guys...P.S. I want a brother." Rory said. Lorelai smiled at her.
Jess gave the next toast.
"When my Uncle look asked me to come be his best man...I thought that he was joking. I put this man beside me through a lot while I was living here with him, and with all of you.
But, I realized that I could say no, and confirm to all that I am the same Jess that I have always been, or I could show up, put on a tux and give a toast. To the man who taught me how to be a man, My Uncle Luke and his new wife, Lorelai. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and...uh...Rory wants a brother."
Following the toasts Luke and Lorelai cut the cake. After cleaning up from the mess that was made Kirk announced the first dance.
"Ladies and gentlemen...please give a round of applause for the bride and groom."
Luke held out his hand and led Lorelai to the floor.
"May I have this dance?" He asked.
"You better believe it." She smiled.
He held her close as they danced to the song he picked out for them to dance to. They kissed and he whispered the words into her ear as Jeff Healey sang.Girl, you're lookin' fine tonight And every guy has got you in his sight What you're doin' with a clown like me Is surely one of life's little mysteries
"She looks happy." Logan said coming up behind Rory.
"She is." Rory said."How about you?""Me?""Yeah you...your best friend just got married.""I couldn't be happier.""Good, good. So listen...I was thinking...you invited me here tonight and all. You let me into your little corner of the world. What do you say we stop this...casual thing. I want you to introduce me to your mom and new step-dad as your boyfriend."Logan said."You what?""Come on Rory it has been like..6 months...I think we can handle it." Logan said wrapping his arms around her.
So tonight I'll ask the stars above:
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do; What did I say To turn your angel eyes my way
"What do you say Gilmore?"
"I say...they didn't get that happy not taking any chances." She said turning to Logan.
"Shall we dance?""Yes. But I have to warn you, I am not very good." She said.
Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance Never even got one second glance Across the crowded room was close enough I could look but I could never touch
"Who's that guy dancing with Rory." Luke asked.
"That is Logan...Rorys new boyfriend.
"Lorelai said. "Did I know this?"
"Honey...Rory didn't even know this" Lorelai said.
Don't anyone wake me if it's just a dream 'Cuz she's the best thing that ever happened to me All you fellows, you can look all you like But this girl you see, she's leaving here With me tonight
Emily and Richard danced by talking.
"She is married Richard."
"That she is." He said.
"She is very happy."
"That she is." he said.
"Do you remember when we were that happy Richard?"
"Yes I do."
"It just seems like so long ago."
"Really, it seems like only yesterday to me."
"Richard."
"Yes Emily."
"I still love you."
"I still love you too." Richard said.
"Move out of the pool house." Emily said.
"Are you asking me to leave permanently?" Richard questioned.
"No Richard, I am asking you to stay permanently."
"Very well then. I will have my things brought back in first thing in the morning."
Lorelai and Luke danced up to Rory and Logan.
"I think that your grandparents just reconciled." Lorelai said.
"I think so too." Rory said. "Oh and Luke, Mom, I want you to meet my boyfriend Logan."
"Nice to meet you Logan..I would shake your hand but..."Luke said.
"We have our hands full." Logan said.
"You have no idea." Luke said.
"They like each other..." Lorelai whispered to Rory.
"I think so..."
"I love you hon."
"I love you too mom."
If this is love why does it scare me so.
Must be something only you can see.
Cause girl I feel it when you look at me.
The night was perfect. All was right in that sleepy little town. Luke finally had his Lorelai...Emily and Richard were getting back together. Rory was happy with Logan. It was one of those moments when you realize that eventually, everything does find it's place. Sometimes it may take days, other times it may take years, but eventually life has a way of working itself out. They danced late into the night, seeing old friends, making new ones...it was Luke and Lorelais happily ever after.
