When Rory woke up the first thing she did was open all her gifts. Luke had neatly wrapped a book for her, so that she would think he had only gotten her something small. Lorelai and Rory had picked out a whole new outfit for Luke, which fit him quite nicely. Rory even thought it would be cute to buy him a new baseball cap to wear as well. After everything had been opened, Luke figured it was time to spring his gift on Rory.
"Do you like all your gifts?" Lorelai asked Rory.
"Yes." Rory smiled. "I'm quite pleased."
"Well, do you think you have room for one more?" Luke asked.
"I suppose so." Rory replied with curiosity. "Then come with me."
All three got up and excited the living room. Lorelia and Rory quickly put on their jackets and followed Luke outside.
"I put it in your garage until you make room for it in your house." Luke said.
"Room for what?" Lorelai asked.
Luke opened the garage door. "Rory's piano."
Rory's mouth dropped as she saw the antique piano sitting in her garage. For the first time, in a long time, Rory was completely speechless.
"Wow." she managed to mouth with her lips.
"You said you wanted to take lessons. So I figured you should have your own piano." Luke smiled. "Do you like it?"
"Luke... You shoudn't have... this is too much." Rory replied.
"What?..." Luke asked. "Of course not. I paid a reasonable price for it." he laughed gently.
Rory hurried to him and hugged him. "Thank you Luke... Thank you so much! My first symphony will be dedicated to you!" she joked.
Lorelai stood back for a moment gazing in awe at her daughter and Luke. What a perfect father-daughter couple, she thought. It was the first time Rory had ever gotten close to a man since her early years with Chris. She could see all three of them becoming a family. She watched as Luke explained how he was going to build Rory a piano bench to sit on, and she noticed Rory's eyes light up with happiness. This was it, this was what they had been waiting for all their lives, and they had found it in Stars Hollow.
"Well, what do you say we go back in for a while and get warmed up." Luke suggested.
"Then we can make room for the piano." Rory added.
"If it's okay with your Mom."
"It's fine with me." Lorelai replied.
"Think we can move it into the house tonight, Luke?" Rory asked hopefully.
"I'd say we can manage." Luke winked.
Once back inside, Lorelai pulled Luke aside. "You're amazing. A piano?"
"She deserves it." Luke replied.
"We should tell her." Lorelai said.
"Together? Or just you?" Luke asked.
"Together." Lorelai smiled. "That's how we're going to do everything from now on."
Luke and Lorelai walked into the living room where Rory was mapping out a space for the piano.
"Rory, come sit down with us." Lorelai invited.
Rory knew that meant something was going on, she slowly walked over and sat down.
"We have something to tell you." Lorelai smiled.
"I asked your mother to marry me." Luke remarked hopping for approval.
Rory looked at her mother who had the same look for approval that Luke had.
Rory smiled, "What did you tell him?" she asked Lorelai.
"I told him yes."
Rory got up and sat down between the two. "I've been waiting for you to finally pop the question." Rory laughed.
Lorelai put her arm around Rory. "We're going to be a family, kid. A complete family."
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"You expecting company?" Luke asked.
"No." Lorelai replied. "It couldn't be Sookie, her and Jackson are out of town."
"Christmas Caroler maybe?" Luke asked again.
"No, that was done last night." Rory replied "Mom and I was with them."
Lorelia stared off for a minute as she remembered the horrible singing.
"How about I just go see who it is." Lorelai suggested.
Lorelai walked to the foyer and opened the door. A deep breath exhaled from Lorelai's body as she collapsed onto the floor.
"Lore, are you okay?" Chris asked bending down beside her
