"Merry Christmas." Luke smiled as he walked through the door way of Lorelia's house.
"Merry Christmas." Lorelai replied. "It's very early." Lorelai whispered.
"I know, I wanted t be here when you guys first got up." Luke replied softly.
"Rory is still asleep."
"Then you and I can spend some time together. How about I make us a Christmas breakfast?" Luke suggested.
"You would be the most wonderful man on earth if you did such a thing."
Luke leaned in and kissed Lorelai. "Get dressed and come back down stairs and I'll have breakfast ready."
"Okay, but don't expect much from the stove it's not used to work." Lorelai remarked.
Lorelai cleaned herself up and came back down stairs. As promised, Luke had prepared a delicious Christmas breakfast.
"Mmm. Pancakes." Lorelai inhaled. "I've never smelled pancakes in this house before."
"Well, we'll have to do this more often then." Luke replied serving the plates on the table.
The two sat down and began eating. When Lorelai had finished Luke suggested they go into the living room and sat in front of the tree.
"It would have been so magical if it had snowed." Lorelai sighed.
"It still might." Luke replied. "Remember, it's still very early."
"I hope so, there's just something about snow on Christmas that makes everything perfect."
Luke and Lorelai sat on the couch together. Lorelai had her head laying on Luke's shoulder. She felt so safe, so secure, and so comfortable. She had no desire for time to pass, or for anything to change she was perfectly content with how everything was that exact moment.
Luke took a deep breath, "Lorelai." he spoke softly.
"Yeah?" she replied.
"You're everything to me." he squeezed her gently. Lorelai raised up and faced him. "Ever since the first time I met you I knew you was so special, so different." he swallowed heavy and continued "These past few months have been the best months of my life. I still get those little butterflies in my stomach when I first see you, or when I think about you."
"Oh Luke." Lorelai replied, with tears whelming up in her eyes.
"Lorelai, I love you."
Lorelai smiled, "I love you too." she replied leaning in and kissing him softly.
Luke stood up from the couch and then gently kneeled to one knee, he reached inside his shirt pocket and pulled out a small black box.
"Marry me Lorelia Gilmore." he proposed.
Lorelai gasped for breath as he opened the box and saw a stunning 7 carrot gold ring setting neatly in the wedges.
"Oh my god Luke! Yes! Yes! Of course I will!" Lorelai jumped to her feet and Luke to his. The two kissed and hugged and stood looking at each other for several moments.
"I've got to tell Rory!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Wait." Luke replied. "Let's tell her later. Luke guided Lorelai to the couch and set her down. "Here, try on your engagement ring." Luke smiled. He slid the ring onto her finger and her eyes sparkled as she gazed at it.
"This must have cost you a fortune." Lorelai dazed.
"It doesn't matter." Luke replied.
"Is this why you was gone all day yesterday?" Lorelai asked. Luke shook his head yes.
"Oh Luke!" Lorelai engulfed him in a hug once more.
