to ProFfeSseR: I think maybe we should exchange emailadresses, because if I´m gonna answer your question it will be as long as the chapter! I think mine is in the profile!

to Tonks2004: At least two more, but I´m not sure yet

to JavaJunkieAddict: I know that there are a lot of mistakes in it. I re-read the first 5 chapters 3 days ago and found some mistakes. But at the moment I don´t have the time to correct it, because I wanna finish the story before I have to leave. But maybe afterwards I will re-read and re-publish it chapter by chapter! So sorry for the faults!

Chapter 33: I´m walking

When the door opened after a knock Lorelai and Luke were still laughing. Rory entered with a furious William on her arms, followed by Logan, Richard and Emily. Richard tried to talk to William and calm him, but he was struggling and Rory was barely able to hold him.

"Hey son what´s wrong this time?" Luke asked, while Lorelai tried to soothe Sara in her bassinet who was also crying now. William stopped when he heard Luke´s voice and turned around.

"Daddy" he smiled. He already knew the two most important words "Mommy" and "daddy" and both Luke and Lorelai were melting every time he used them.

"He wanted to walk the way, but then we would have needed hours, so I carried him, which he didn´t like."

"Then walk to daddy" Luke said and kneeled down and held his arms open. Rory placed William on the floor and took his hands. He started to walk, very unsure, but he walked to Luke and laughed when he reached him and threw himself into his father´s arms.

"Wow, you´re such a big boy. You can walk. I´m so proud of you." Luke smiled and kissed his son.

"Where are they? Are they healthy?" Emily asked and wanted to rush past Luke, but he blocked her with a smile.

"They are healthy, great actually, or do you think otherwise this one could scream like that?" Lorelai asked. Luke walked with William to the other side of the bed where the bassinets were standing and showed him his sisters.

"Look, Will, there they are." Will leaned forward and wanted to touch them, but Luke stopped him. William wanted to cry again at first, but when he saw his fathers look he decided against it.

"Luuuuke! Hand me my baby, please!" Lorelai pouted.

"Which one?" Luke grinned.

"Yeah, yeah, you´re such a man! And now hand me my big brother son!" Luke handed him to her, careful that the baby didn´t touch her lower belly and she hugged him tight and William enjoyed it.

Then she sat him on her left side and he leaned his head against her shoulder.

"I think it´s time to introduce everyone!" Lorelai said and got everyone´s attention.

"Okay, Rory this is Logan, Logan Rory, Emily this is Rory..." Lorelai began.

"Lorelai!" Emily said annoyed and Lorelai giggled and William joined her, although hehadn't understood what his mother had said.

"Yeah, mom, really! It´s enough now! I still don´t know neither the names nor the sex of my new siblings!" Rory pouted this time.

Luke took the first baby out of the bassinet and placed it in Lorelais right arm.

"Okay, everyone: This is my third child. This is Laila Melody Danes" Lorelai said and kissed her daughters head.

"She´s so tiny, mum!" Rory said and walked to Lorelais right side and kissed her sister.

"You wanna hold her?" Lorelai asked.

"I´m afraid I might crush her! And I want to meet the other one first. It´s unfair otherwise!" Rory said and looked curiously in Luke´s direction. He leaned down and took the other baby out and kept it on his arm this time.

"And this is my youngest one: This is Sara Emily Danes" Lorelai said and looked at her mother. Emily looked surprised at first, then gasped and then hugged Lorelai. After she had stepped back she first caressed Laila´s cheek and then walked over to Luke. She looked down at the baby in his arms and her eyes grew wide.

"Richard! Richard! Look at this! She said with a stunned expression on her face. He walked over to his wife and looked at his youngest granddaughter.

"Oh my goodness!" he said with a similar stunned expression on his face. Lorelai,Logan and Rory looked at Luke, who just shrugged.

"This is incredible, Lorelai. She looks exactly like you did when you were a baby." Emily said after some seconds.

"Not a hair difference. She even has that dangerous twinkle in her eyes, like she would start to tease you any second! May god help you!" Richard grinned at Luke.

"Hey!" Lorelai said and pouted, but the others just laughed.

While the two elder Gilmores went on about Sara´s resemblance to her mother, Logan congratulated Lorelai and Luke. Luke handed Emily her granddaughter and Richard took Laila, who was still asleep.

"Look Emily, she also looks like Lorelai!" Richard said and inspected Laila.

"So you knew all the time that I get two sisters?" Rory asked.

"Yes, now we girls have the absolute power in the house!" Lorelai grinned.

"That´s what you are thinking!" Luke grinned.

"That´s what I know! The first thing I´ll teach these two is to pout!" Lorelai smiled proudly.

"You are an evil woman, Lorelai Danes!" Luke said, but kissed her.

"You´re all right?" he whispered, while he hugged her.

"I´m exhausted and the wound hurts." she whispered back.

"You know what: Why don´t we let Lorelai sleep, bring these two to the nursery, and go for a walk with Will?" Luke asked loud and Lorelai shot him a thankful look.

"I´m sorry, you must be tired!" Logan said and looked uncomfortable.

"It´s fine. I´m happy you are here. I mean, you´re a part of the family somehow, aren´t you?" Lorelai smiled. It was true. Since Rory lived at home again, Logan somehow moved in also. He spend most of the time at Stars Hollow, slept at the house, ate with them, helped Luke to repair things and looked after William sometimes. He was so different from the arrogant rich boy, now that they knew him better. Even Luke liked him.

Emily and Richard placed the babies back into their bassinets and Rory and Logan accompanied them while they brought the babies back to the nursery. Luke waited until they had all left the room, then grabbed his coat and picked up William, who was playing with his mothers IV.

"Are you coming back after the walk?" Lorelai asked sleepily.

"If you want me to" Luke said.

"Of course. Don´t leave me alone with our daughters!" Lorelai smiled.

"Ok, then I will be back after the walk. Say goodbye to mommy!" Luke said to Will and the boy started waving in his mothers direction. Lorelai smiled and waved back.

"Will you stay the night, like you did when Will was born?" she asked after some seconds, when he was walking towards the door.

"I would love to" Luke smiled and walked back to her and kissed her. She hugged him and Luke placed William on the floor, before he hugged her back.

"Thank you!" she mumbled already half asleep in his shoulder.

"No, thank you! And now sleep, darling" he said and slowly lay her down against the pillows and placed a kiss on her forehead.

He picked up William again, who tried to crawl towards the door and was nearly outside when he heard Lorelai´s voice again.

"Bring our son with you! I can´t sleep when he´s not around" she said and fell asleep.

"I will!" Luke smiled and closed the door.

"See, now you are a big brother! And you are right, a big brother needs to walk, not be carried around!" Luke said when William leaned over to show Luke that he wanted to be placed on the ground. He took the little boys hands in his and William began to walk slowly and stumbled every time he turned around to look up proudly to his father.

"Don´t hurry son. We have time. Your grandparents and your big sister have to wait for you." Luke smiled down and felt a happiness and contentment he had never felt before when they walked past the nursery and he saw his sleeping daughters through the window and heard his sons babbling while they walked towards the rest of the family.
