Thanks for the reviews, I hope you give me some for the next chapter also!

I was kind of suprised that you liked the Fred part so much, because at tended to leave it out and write something different.

Chapter 11 and 12 are also finished,so...

Chapter 10: Dinner part 1

"Honey, could you open the door we´re not finished yet!" Lorelai told Luke through the baby-monitor, which was standing in the kitchen. As soon as she had taken William out of his crib, she had turned it off and then to walky-talky mode.

"Yep" Luke said, walked out of the kitchen, through the dinning-room and the living-room and opened the door.

"Richard, Emily, hello! Um, well... come in" Luke said a bit shyly, it was the first time that Lorelais parents visited them. The first time, they saw the new house, the first time he cooked and the first time they would see their grand-son. And Luke was responsible for all of them. So if the evening would turn out as a disaster, it might be his fault. He was very nervous.

"Hello, Luke" Richard and Emily both said and walked into the house.

"Uhm, Lorelai is feeding Will at the moment, but I´m sure shell be here any second" he said, still feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"She said, she would be done by now. If we would have know, we would have come half an hour later" Richard said, also feeling uncomfortable about the idea how Lorelai would be feeding William at the moment.

"No, it´s okay. She thought he would be fed by now, but we had a lot of visitors today, nearly the whole town stopped by and he go a little cranky and nervous and didn´t want to sleep in the end, so that everything happens a bit later today." Luke explained.

"But, come in, take a seat. Do you want something to drink?" Luke asked and pointed to the couch in the living room.

"Thank you Luke, but I think we should wait for Lorelai with the drinks" Emily told him, but her voice not as sharp as usual. But then they all sat down on the couch. A very uncomfortable silence followed, nobody knew what to say or how to break it. Luke just hopped that Will would eat very fast.

"That´s very nice house you have, Luke" Richard started. It was an honest compliment and Luke appreciated that it broke the silence.

"Well, thank you. I bought it after the former owner died and we moved in here after we got engaged. It needed some renovation, some paint, new floors, stuff like that... Would you like to see it, I could give you a tour ´til Lorelai has finished feeding Will!" That would be the solution Luke thought and hoped that they would accept, and they did.

He started at the first floor.

"Well, here is the living room, then the dining-room and the kitchen" he started while he walked through the rooms with them.

"On the other side of the living room we have the guest-bathroom, a guest-room, and kind of an office or a library, as you like" Luke said and opened the doors to show them the rooms.

"These wood-floors are incredible!" Richard said.

"Yes, they are very old. I think they are in here since the house was built. But the former owner had laid carpet over them. So when I threw out the old carpet I was kind of surprised to find these under this horrible carpet. They just needed to be cleaned and waxed and now look at it." Luke said proudly.

"I sometimes wonder what people are thinking! Remember Richard, when we bought our house what the former owner had done in the entrance area?" she asked.

"Oh my goodness, dont remind my. This old spinster had angels everywhere. But the worst were these stone angels she had placed on the walls of the entrance area" Richard shook his head

"Yes, together with an angel- wallcover: Background-color: dark green, angels in yellow. It looked disgusting!" Emily told Luke.

"Sounds disgusting!" Luke agreed and walked towards the staircase to show them the second-floor.

"So... here on the left we have Rory´s room, the former library. She already filled half of the shelves with her books, but I´m sure it won´t be long until they are all packed!" Luke said and showed them Rory´s room.

"This room is absolutely perfect for Rory" Emily agreed, when she saw the huge white shelves, which covered one complete wall. Under the huge white windows stood a huge desk, already covered with papers.

On the wall above her bed hang several photos of Lorelai, Luke, Emily, Richard, Lane and Gigi.

"That´s what we thought. We just finished it some weeks ago."

Both, Richard and Emily knew exactly why it hadn´t been finished earlier.

They knew that the relationship between Rory and Lorelai hadn´t been easy the whole summer. Rory never said anything, but they had noticed it when she had talked about her mother.

"Then there is Rory´s own bathroom and an empty room. We don´t know what to do with it yet" Luke went on, to interrupt the silence, and walked over on the other side of the staircase.

"And here on the right side we have the main bedroom, another bathroom and Will´s room." Luke said and knocked softly on the door and opened it a bit.

He looked into the room and saw Lorelai in the rocking-chair, with Will lying in her lap, talking to him.

"You´re finished?" he asked her.

"Yes, little Mister here is fed and has a new diaper." she told Luke. "Ready to meet your grandparents, sweety?" she then asked Will and Luke stepped aside so that Emily and Richard could go into the room.

"Would you excuse me, I need to look after the food" Luke said and walked towards the staircase and then downstairs.

Emily and Richard both just nodded, because they already stared at Lorelai and the baby in her lap.

Lorelai picked up Will and turned him around, so that he was facing his grandparents. She had changed him before they had arrived and he wore white socks, jeans-shorts and a blue shirt.

"Say: hello grandma, hello grandpa. You can come nearer I wont bite, momy just fed me!" Lorelai said in a baby voice and then kissed Wills little cheek.

"Oh my... Lorelai... he´s gorgeous!" Emily said and started to smile.

But Richard was the first one who took a step forward and kneeled down in front of Lorelai and the baby.

"Look at theses little fingers, Emily! And the hair! Lorelai also had a lot of hair... oh, and the eyes! He has her eyes!" Richard said, nearly glowing.

"Wanna hold him, dad?" Lorelai asked, touched by her dads enthusiasm.

"Oh can I? Really?" Richard asked a bit unsure.

"Yes, of course. Sit down in the rocking chair."Lorelai told her father and stood up. When he sat she handed him the baby.

"Can you handle him for a sec? I need to get changed!" she asked then.

"Of course, no problem." Richard said and Lorelai walked out of the room and into the bedroom next door to get changed.

"Hello, William. I´m your grandfather. Hello, little boy! You have your mothers eyes, you know that? But beside that and your dark hair you really are your fathers child. Yes, your fathers child! He´s downstairs cooking. You´re such a beautiful boy,and such a big one already. Only two days old and such a big boy already..." Richard said in a baby voice, while Will just lay in his arms, staring at him.

Emily meanwhile looked around in the room. She noticed the crib with the engravings and the photo-wall, which now also included some Polaroid's from the hospital.

The first picture of William and the one when Luke held him for the first time. Lorelai had been over the moon when she saw the photo for the first time. They way Luke looked at William, indescribable.

Then another one with Lorelai and Will, and the one where Rory held her brother for the first time.

This had been the first thing Lorelai had done when she had arrived at home: Placing the photos on the wall. Under the pictures, leaning against the wall sat Fred.

In one corner of the room, next to the changing table stood a lot of presents, with cards on them. The presents the town had brought over this morning. But they weren´t unpacked yet, because Lorelai had preferred to take a nap instead. Nursing William every two hours, also during the night had made her very tired.

Unnoticed by Richard Emily walked out of the nursery and knocked on Lorelai´s bedroom-door.

"Luke?"

"No, it´s me!" Emily said

"Mom, come in!" Lorelai told her and opened the door.

She wore jeans now, still one from the maternity clothes and was buttoning her blouse when Emily entered the room.

"You´re son is such a beautiful child and the nursery is incredible!" Emily said.

"Well, thank you, mom. But I´m not alone responsible for it!" Lorelai smiled and sat down on the bed to put her shoes on.

"I saw the pictures on the wall. And I see you now. You look happy!" Emily stated quietly.

"I am happy. Very happy. I have two beautiful children, an amazing husband, a new house and the Inn is doing very well!" Lorelai smiled and sighed.

"Lorelai, I wanted to apologise for what I said at the mall and for what happened. I .. I don´t know why I did what I did. I never wanted to hurt you or the baby. If anything would have happened to one of you..." Emily said and stared at some point behind Lorelais head.

Lorelai could not remember that she had ever seen her mother like that.

"Look, mom, I should have told you and dad that I´m pregnant. I know that I hurt you, but I was just so angry after what you did when we told you about the engagement. But what happened at the mall was not your fault. I maybe had contractions all morning, but I just didn´t notice them. It had nothing to do with you. You´re grandson is just not a very patient guy and wanted to meet us three weeks earlier than we expected." Lorelai told her and stood up.

"Come on,let´s look what dad is doing with him. Little Will might know more right now about the insurance business athan I will ever know." she tried to lighten the mood and walked outside and Emily followed her.

When she was nearly out of the room she noticed another picture which hang in the middle of the wall, right of the door. One of Lukes and Lorelais wedding pictures. Luke in his suit, Lorelai in her wedding dress. They were walking toward the dance-floor, hand in hand,staring in each others eyes, smiling, shutting out the rest of the world.

Emily watched it for some seconds, when Lorelai interrupted her.

"We can show you the video later, if you want!" she asked.

"That would be lovely!" Emily answered and closed the door.

"Wow, I was right, you talked about the insurance business, dad!" Lorelai laughed when she walked into the nursery.

"Why would I talk to a baby about insurance business!" Richard asked confused.

"Well, what else could you talk about that is so boring that he falls asleep!" Lorelai was still laughing and picked up her son and placed him in the crib.

"Oh, really, Lorelai!" Emily said when she heard the comment.

But Luke saved her, when his voice echoed through the room, through the baby-monitor.

"Dinner is ready!"
