Thanks for all the reviews! I appreciate it!

Lorelai woke up with a smile on her face. She had had the same dream again. Not wanting the feeling to disappear she closed her eyes and tried to grasp hold of it once more before she had to get up.

Lorelai now got up with Luke a lot of the time so they could have breakfast together. And when she did she was normally able to get home earlier, not that she had anything to come home to. Luke still worked till fairly late, so on many days she went and helped out at the diner.

Once this new routine became known to the rest of the town Luke's seemed to be getting more business in the evenings. People wanted to see how things were working out between the two, and the diner had also become the central place to obtain any gossip.

"Sweetie." Miss Patty called out to Lorelai. "Could you come here please?"

"What can I get you?" Lorelai asked.

"Oh no. I'm good. We were just wondering how Rory was doing."

"She's great."

"That wonderful." Babette said. "So how are you doing?"

"I'm good."

"Really, the Inn doing ok?"

"Yep, still going strong."

"Nothing unusual happening…" Miss Patty encouraged.

"No. Although I did hear Kirk has a new job."

"Really, that I didn't know. What is it?"

"Well he is now working, or trying to work for Mrs. Kim."

"I doubt that will last long." Miss Patty said.

"Looks like you were right," Babette said looking and Kirk's dejected frame walking down the street.

"Well I have to get back to work, I'll talk to you gals later." Lorelai said making a run for the storeroom.

"What's wrong?" Luke asked as she slammed the door.

"Nothing, nothing, its just you're never around when I need you."

"Miss Patty?"

"How'd you guess?"

"Because they've been pestering me all week, actually they've been bothering me since ever. But I have seen a definite increase in the past 5 weeks we've been married."

"Miss Patty's just upset that you're taken." Lorelai said flirtatiously

"Please do not go there." Luke said kissing Lorelai.

"Alright." She said kissing him back. "We should probably get back out there."

"Yeah, Rory's home for the weekend isn't she."

"Yep starting tomorrow." Lorelai said as her face lighted up.

"Good, we'll make a day out of it." Luke said. "Just the three of us."

"Sounds good."

"Mom, I'm home." Rory said dropping her bag in the hallway. This was the first time she had been able to come home since the wedding. As she walked around she could definitely see Luke's influence starting to show. There weren't clothes everywhere and the refrigerator actually had edible food in it.

As Rory headed upstairs a faint smell of paint formed. As she reached the second floor she opened the door to the spare room. Inside there was a ladder and an almost empty can of paint. The room, which used to be stark white, was now a bright yellow and the closet a dark blue.

Rory smiled; there was no doubt that her mom had picked the colors. She knew there was no way Luke would ever paint a room yellow.

As she turned to go back down the stairs she felt her phone vibrate against her hip. She quickly pulled it out and answered it.

"Hey sweetheart, where are you?" Her mom asked.

"At the house. Nice color by the way. What did you have to do to get Luke to paint it that color?"

"That's a long story, and I will tell you later. But I need you to dress warm and meet me at the diner. Ok?"

"Ok, what's…" Rory stopped as she heard the phone click. Her mom had actually hung up on her. Curious to see why she quickly dropped her bags in her room and headed toward the diner.

As curious as she was, Rory decided to take her time waling to the diner. She breathed in the deep air, glad to be back home. She also took the time to try and think through what was going on in her life. Marty was now way out of the picture, kind of, and she was definitely dating Logan now. But for some reason she just had this gnawing feeling in the back of her mind, but she just couldn't place what was wrong.

Entering the diner she quickly found her mom helping a customer. As she watched her mom she noticed something different, Lorelai now had a glow around her, an extra spark of life that had been there since the wedding. Not wanting to interrupt she took a seat at the bar and waited patiently. Within minutes she felt her moms arms wrap around her.

"Hey sweetie."

"Hey." Rory said turning around to look at her mom. She definitely looked happy. "What's up?"

"Not much."

"So nothing's wrong?"

"Why would you ask that?" Lorelai asked.

"Maybe because you're never up this early on a Saturday." Rory pointed out.

"Well, things have changed. Plus Lane couldn't come in early this morning so Luke needed some extra help."

"As much as you work here maybe you should change the name to Luke's and Lorelai's."

"How could you suggest such a thing? Luke's is Luke's and it won't be changed." Lorelai said pretending to be offended.

"Funny. So why did I have to dress warm?"

"Ask Luke he gave the instructions." Lorelai said as a couple walked in.

"Where is he?" Rory asked.

"In the kitchen."

"Oooh. I get to go back there now." Rory said sliding off her stool as her mom went to help the couple.

Luke was busy cooking when Rory got back there. She waited till he looked a little less busy to speak up. "Hey Luke."

"Geeesh Rory. You're as bad as your mom." Luke said. "Sneaking up like that."

"Sorry."

"It's ok, we've just been a little busy this morning."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Rory said giving her step-dad a hug.

"Thanks. Is there something you wanted?"

"Mom told me she was on your orders this morning…"

"Oh yeah. We're going out today. The three of us, as long as it's ok with you."

"Of course it is. Is there something I can do to help until then?" Rory asked.

"You can take this out to Kirk." He said handing Rory a plate.

"Sure thing." Rory said heading back into the diner with Kirk's breakfast.

Luke looked after her with a content sigh. Things couldn't get much better.
