Luke and Lorelai's lives remained essentially the same. After all they had been living together since they met. The only real change was the name on the mailbox and that Lorelai was now known as Mrs. Danes, and she loved it. Rory still saw her dad and Lorelai was able to adopt Liam because Rachel had abandoned him. They had really become a family and when Rory was in first grade and Liam had started kindergarten Luke and Lorelai started to think about the possibility of having kids. They loved Rory and Liam and they knew that they could raise more children. Lorelai was still young, only 21, but she was already a manager at the inn. She and Sookie had even decided to open their own inn together. When Rory reached the third grade and Liam second Luke and Lorelai decided that after five years of marriage it was time that they started a family. In no time Lorelai was pregnant and the couple anxiously decorated a nursery and unpacked the old baby clothing. This was a different experience for both Luke and Lorelai. With Rory Lorelai had been very young and didn't have the opportunity to have someone else to do this with. Luke and Rachel had done the baby preparations, but to him it seemed like so much more with Lorelai, it felt more right, perfect. At the three month check up it was revealed that Lorelai was pregnant with twins and the excitement of a new baby started over with the other old crib being pulled out of storage. Lorelai and Luke couldn't hide their excitement and together they had made a picture perfect family. A mom, Dad, daughter, son, and babies on the way; the American dream. Rory had the gift of three parents; Lorelai, Luke and Chris. Chris had kept his promise and kept in touch with Rory. Liam never knew his mother and thought of Lorelai as his mom. He knew that his mom had left and he accepted Lorelai, who loved him like her own. On the day that the twins joined the family everybody was extremely excited and Rory and Liam couldn't wait to play with the new arrivals. After many intense hours of labor The Danes family welcomed babies Jonathan Alexander Danes (known as Natey or Nate) and Matthew Ezra Danes (known as Matty or Matt). Both names held the meaning helping gift from God. The first few days that the boys were home were very hectic. There were now four kids in the house and Luke had to run the diner. Luke got the kids off to school so Lorelai could sleep in and after the babies were vaccinated he often took them to the diner so that all the townspeople could see them. Natey and Matt were raised in the town spotlight. By their first birthday the differences between the twins were being seen. Matty had the deep gray eyes of his father with streaks of his mother's brilliant blue eyes too. Natey on the other hand had clear blue eyes identical to Rory's and Lorelai's. Both babies had slightly curly brown hair and they were gorgeous. By the time the twins had turn three the Dane's realized that they needed a bigger house to accommodate their family; Matt, Nate, and Liam shared one room, Rory had another, there was a master bedroom and home office for Lorelai to plan out her inn. The plans for a larger house could not have come at a better time.
