Disclaimer- Still can't say I own this…but one day, hopefully…

Lorelai burst into the diner grinning from ear to ear.

"Coffee Luke! Coffee!" she sang.

"What are you so happy about?" he grumbled, pouring her a large steaming cup.

"My baby's getting married!"

"What?"

"Rory, she's getting married!" Lorelai couldn't contain her enthusiasm and jumped up to give Luke a hug.

"To a nice Yale boy I presume…"

"Nope, to Jess!" she smacked him playfully across the chest, "Isn't it wonderful!" she hugged him again, "That's what he came to see me about the other night, he wanted to ask for my blessing. He really loves her."

"Wow, I never would've guessed that Jess would…wow," Luke was happy for his nephew, it seemed as if he'd really turned his life around.

"Well, I have to go Lukey. Rory and I are going out to look at dresses today."

"Okay, well have fun. Tell Rory congratulations for me."

"I will, bye," Lorelai kissed him quickly before running out the door singing Chapel of Love.

The late morning sun peaked into the room from behind the curtains as Rory stirred next to him. Last night was amazing. He still couldn't believe that he'd done it. He was going to marry Rory. And have a child with her. He was ready. Or at least he thought he was. But he loved her more than anything in the whole world. They could do this together.

Rory woke up and smiled at him sleepily. She still couldn't believe that all this was happening. She was going to be okay. She loved Jess, and he loved her. What had started out as a complete nightmare in getting pregnant had turned into her very own fairy tale ending. She couldn't have been happier than how much she was right at that moment.

(Later that week)

Lorelai made a mad dash at her purse to get to her cell phone before it stopped ringing.

"Yeah?" she said breathlessly right before her answering machine kicked in.

"Don't answer the phone with 'yeah'. It's not polite."

"Sorry mom," she said, smiling with an annoyed look on her face.

"I haven't heard from you in a long time and you keep canceling Friday night dinner. I want to know what's going on."

"Nothing mom, we've just been really busy around here." Lorelai was attempting to bring Rory's old high-chair down from the attic, it however was beating her.

"You and Rory are not getting out of dinner this week. No excuses, I expect to see you both at 7 o'clock sharp."

Lorelai scrunched up her nose and sighed, "Okay, we'll be there."

"Good and I want to hear about all the things you've been busy with. You have a few days until Friday to come up with something good."

"Aww, thanks mom. Have you heard the one about the escaped elephant at the zoo yet? Did we use that one already?"

"Not funny Lorelai, I'll see you on Friday."

"Okay, bye mom," Lorelai hung up the phone, "She's in for a big surprise," she said aloud.

A/N: I know this is short and not a lot happened, but I really wanted to get something posted. School is starting to wind down (finally!) so hopefully I can get more posted soon.

Next Chapter: Friday night dinner.
