Six months later:

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Liam! Happy birthday to you!" sang everyone at Liam's second birthday party. Of course there was Luke, his fiancée Lorelai and the now thirty-four month old Rory. Lorelai couldn't believe how big Liam was. She also couldn't believe that she had an almost three year old daughter, a two year old "son", and a fiancée who would become her husband in just one month's time. They had decided to get married between Liam and Rory's birthdays which were just two months apart. Luke had been trying to convince Lorelai to tell her parents. He was sure they would be happy. After all she was marrying a successful business man, and she was manager of custodial staff at the inn. She was successful. Lorelai eventually gave in and showed up at her parent's house three weeks before the wedding, Rory in tow. She thought they might be more relaxed if Rory was there, and it was a plan. Once she arrived at the house she carried Rory to the house and knocked on the door.

"Hi mom."

"Lorelai? And Rory?" asked Emily. At the mention of Rory Emily began to smile. Lorelai had been right to bring Rory. "Come in. Come in"

"Thanks mom. I actually have some really great news for you."

"Oh really. You're not pregnant again are you?"

"No mom, but it is some family news. I'm engaged and I'm getting married at the end of the month."

"Who is he Lorelai?"

"His name is Luke and he owns a diner in Stars Hollow where we live and I work too. I'm the custodial staff manager. Luke also has a son who is ten months younger than Rory named William."

"He had a baby out of wedlock too. What is this, an epidemic?"

"He was actually supposed to marry her and they were engaged but she ran away after Liam was born."

"I thought you said his name was William?"

"Liam is his nickname. Mom, they are really good people and it wouldbe greatif you would come to my wedding. It's the 28th at the Independence Inn. 6pm."

"Thank you for the invitation Lorelai. We will come if we can."

"Thanks mom."

With that Lorelai and Rory left and returned home where Lorelai continued to make their dresses. Rory was going to wear a pink dress, and Liam had a little suit. Liam was the ring bearer and the best man and Rory was the flower girl. Sookie, the chef at the inn, and Lorelai's friend was her maid of honor. Emily and Richard did come and the service was perfect. Luke and Lorelai had written each other their own vows and everyone in attendance was moved. Luke read his first,
"Lorelai. I want you to know that I love you. You are the bravest person I know and I am not ashamed to say, you are my hero. The day you showed up you saved me. I knew nothing about taking care of a baby and you saved me. You became my friend and even though you were scared you trusted me with your two most prized things, your heart and your daughter. Had it not been for that braveness we may not be here today. I love you and always will, and I have just one last thing, I'm not scared. Are you?"
Lorelai had tears in her eyes, but she proceeded with her vows.
"Luke. I can't believe this, but our vows are so similar and I swear I didn't peak at what you wrote. I love you and want you to know that you will forever hold my heart, and my daughter's heart. You were my hero, my knight in shining armor. You were there when I needed you most. You took me in and helped me care for Rory. You will forever be that knight, and the one who will be there with me forever more. I love you more than you could know." Lorelai looked at Luke and then she added, "And no, I'm not scared and never will be if I'm with you." She smiled. They were married and Lorelai felt complete.
