A few hours later Luke and Lorelai lay in bed, arms around each other.

"Hey hon are you okay?"

"Yeah" Luke smiled and kissed her "More than okay"

"Good just wanted to make sure you were good, that I didn't tire you out, that you have more energy" Lorelai raised her eyebrow and smiled seductively.

"Yeah I think I could muster up a little more energy"

"Good I'm hungry. Feel like making me lunch?" Lorelai giggled

Luke smiled and pulled her closer and hugged her. "In a minute"

They were both silent for a while before Luke pulled his head back to look at her. He kept his arms around her knowing that what he was about to talk about wouldn't make Lorelai happy but they needed to discuss it.

"Lorelai"

"Yeah?"

"Have you heard from your parents?" Luke felt Lorelai's body stiffen.

She was silent for a moment "A few messages on the machine from my mother " Lorelai tried to move away from Luke, she was trying to get out of his embrace and make an excuse to leave the room but Luke held her to him.

"Lorelai we need to talk about this"

"No Luke we don't. I don't want to talk about them or think about them okay. Geez Luke we were having such a good day why did you have to ruin it" Lorelai pushed him away but Luke grabbed her hand and pulled her back "Lorelai come here.. please." He pulled her into a hug again trying to let her know she was safe. "You can talk to me remember. I know this is hurting you but you don't have to pretend to me. I'm the one you can trust. I didn't want to ruin your day but I think the sooner we talk about this the better. We've getting married soon. We're going to have a wedding with all the people who mean the most to us and I know it doesn't seem like it now but you will regret it if they're not there." Luke loosened his arms from around her.

Lorelai sighed pulled her body away from Luke's but stayed facing him "Luke how can you say that after what they tried to do. After what they said. Knowing that they haven't accepted you?"

"I'd be lying if I didn't say that hurt a little but they're your parents, they're Rory's grandparents and they're going to be my in-laws. I just think maybe we should give them a chance"

"What.. I can't"

"Lorelai hang on and let me finish. Your mom called here and you don't know what she was going to say"

"Oh I know what she was going to say and I don't want to hear it"

"Look I think we just lay down the law. We tell them that the offer would of been a nice one if they had gone about it the right way and asked us first and even though we wouldn't of accepted it, the thought was there. We tell them that no matter what they think, we love each other, we are getting married and they have two choices to be involved or not."

Lorelai was silent

"Remember you told me how excited your mom was when she found the dress for you. I think we should give them the opportunity"

Lorelai was lying there listening to everything Luke was saying, watching his every expression.

"Lorelai?"

"I just.. I don't believe they will change. They'll say they have then pull another stunt. I just don't want to fight anymore. I don't want them to make me feel bad for the way I live my life anymore". Lorelai was silent for a moment, then she sighed "Okay maybe... but it's our way or the highway. That's it… NO more chances for them after this. They either get on board and be happy for us or we're throwing them over the ship to be eaten by sharks"

Luke smiled and pulled Lorelai to him. Lorelai held him tight "Thanks Luke, for everything. I know this has been difficult for you and still, you're doing this because you think it's best for Rory and I even though you'd probably prefer to never see them again"

"Yeah well" Luke shrugged "I only wants what's best for the two of you"

Lorelai kissed him "I love you"

"I love you too"

Lorelai looked up at him, batting her eyelashes "Love me enough to make me lunch, I'm starving"

"How about you make me lunch for a change.. Actually no.. I'll make you lunch" Luke got out of bed and got dressed. He placed a kiss on Lorelai's forehead before leaving her to make them some lunch.

Lorelai walked into the kitchen just as Luke was placing their food on plates. "Luke how would you feel about making dinner, here, for my parents"

"What?" Luke was shocked by her sudden turn around

"I've been thinking about what you said. The wedding is soon and I don't want to go to their place, I don't want them to have the home ground advantage."

Luke raised his eyebrow

Lorelai shrugged "Some of that baseball stuff must have stuck" Lorelai continued "Luke if they truly want to be apart of our lives, they have to accept us and the way we live. So I want to have dinner here - you, me, Rory and the grumpy two. They can accept our invitation or they are out, that's it"

"Are you sure?"

Lorelai took a deep breath. "Yeah I'm sure. That's it. Last chance."

"Okay well when?"

"2059"

"Lorelai... how about tomorrow night?" Luke suggested

"So soon... Luke that's not the way Miss Manners likes her invites. There has to be at least 72 hours notice, Invite must arrive by carriage and to be written in gold leaf"

"Well she'll just have to accept that in the real world we pick up the phone and make a call and as you said, she has to accept our way. So tomorrow?"

"Okay tomorrow it is. So I'll leave the number by the phone and let me know how it goes" Lorelai picked up her plate and walked out of the kitchen but Luke was right behind her.

"And that would be the number of local mental institution? because that's where you're going if you think I'm going to make the call"

"You'd call if you really loved me" Lorelai smiled at him

"I do love you but I'm not calling"

"Maybe I can get Rory to call"

Luke took the plate out of Lorelai's hand and held it above his head "Make the call now and then we can eat our lunch"

"Luke, give it back. That's extremely childish" Lorelai tried jumping to the plate but couldn't reach

"Lorelai you have to make the call sooner or later and doing it now means it out of the way and then we can eat" Luke walked back into the kitchen and placed the plates on the counter then walked back into the living room. He placed his hands on her shoulders. "Come on, the sooner you make the call the sooner it's all over." He kissed her softly. "I know you can do it and if it goes bad I'll be here to comfort you. You said I do that well remember"

Lorelai smiled "Yeah you do" She took a deep breath "Okay I'll make the call"

Luke kissed her again "I'll be waiting in the kitchen when you're done"
