A/N hey guys! Thanks for all you rave reviews! I (heart) you all. Sorry it took me like a week to update, school just started and I do have a life. I have some replies to some reviews from both chapters, but to the people that just wrote update or continue (or something of that variety) I haven't got much to say cause they're so vague and short (not that I don't appreciate them cause if you didn't get the message, I DO!)
BTW. I don't live by an update schedule, sometimes I will update in a day, sometime a week. My personal Laptop has a old version of internet explorer, so I cannot login to my account from it. I can only update to when I use my fathers office computer. He rarely lets my use it so I update either when my parents are out or occasionally when there home. (just 'cause I don't want hexing for updating 4 times a week and then not for two weeks LOL)
Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore girls, or any of its characters cause Lorelai and Luke would ma(coughs) I mean show affection a lot more than they do if I did own the Gilmore Girls, Ah well I can dream…. (this also includes the restaurants I use in this chapter)
OkGoPrettyMuchRules- I'm glad you like the online newspaper thing. Your just like me, I have been reading Gilmore Girls Fan Fictions for almost a year, but I've only been writing for like two weeks, so all I can say is get writing 'cause im sure after reading all of ours you have some great ideas, and I would love to read them!
Gilmoregirlkk- Sorry about the sock mix up I haven't actually seen that episode and I based what I wrote on stuff that people wrote at forums, and reading summaries etc. I will try and change it. I am pleased that you like it and I will continue writing
Erik Meister- thank-you for your high praise and I agree it does sound beautiful. I took bits and pieces form other fanfics and mixed them with my own stuff to make it. I hopefully will include the wedding in the story so you will get to 'see' it.
J stone- I agree with you about Luke although he semi stood up for Lorelai in Pulp friction.
Orangesherbert7- Im glad you agree about Emily. I had to include the Max/Luke realization because it was so damn obvious why she left max and I thought that needed to be included. It took me a while to come up with Gigi, because the thought of Gigi in the wedding can be a little unsettling but she's Rory's sister, and she was the only young girl I could think of (since Martha would be far too young).
GilmoregirlsFreakazoid- I'm glad you like it. I had to put the infuriated and jealous thing because duh! She was soooooooo totally jealous when Luke moved so jealous in fact that she almost admitted her feelings for him. Every time I see that scene In The Clamor and the Clangor I Squeeeee! LOL but I hate the reverend for interrupting them aggghhh!
Plus many thanks to xxnicole03xx for being my first reviewer. Much love goes out to you and I dedicate this chapter to you! (and all of my reviewers)
At The Diner…
"Luke I have told you many times that you should check my receipt before you give it to me sure you may say that its just a penny but I should at least get a free fries to be so courteous as to not press charges…" Kirk said annoyed.
"Kirk get outta here!" Luke said also annoyed.
"Fine, sure con me out of my money but mark my words one day you and your business are going dooooown!" He says getting out of his chair.
"See you for lunch Kirk" Luke said sarcastically
"Save me some pie" Kirk requested.
"Not Gonna happen Kirk. Bye" Luke continued
"You save Lorelai Pie!" Kirk storms out of the diner as Lorelai's coming in and causes Lorelai to drop all the files, folders, papers etc that she's holding.
"Kirk" he yells trying to get him to come back and help Lorelai but he already down the street talking to Lulu.
"Sorry about all of this" Lorelai said scrambling all over the diner floor trying to grab everything before Luke saw what she had.
"Hey its kirks fault not yours he ran into you" Luke explained.
"Why'd he run out the diner to suddenly" she asked
"'Cause he's Kirk and he told me to save him some pie and give him free fries so that he wouldn't press charges for his receipt being a half a penny off" he said picking up the last papers.
"Hey, I get saved pie and free fries" she said with a mischievous grin and she said walking over to the counter and settling herself on a chair.
"Yeah well I like you" he points out putting on the coffee machine.
"Well that's good since were getting married and all" she smirked but with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"I know… "He stated "hi"
"Hi" she said flirty
(They kiss over the counter)
"So, what did you talk about at Sookies' last night?" he was curious to know what they had planned.
"Oh, um… wedding stuff?" She cringed.
"really!" he sarcastically exclaimed "what stuff?
"ok, but don't get tell me im insane or get mad okay" she said nervously
"uh sure okay "he was utterly confused and slightly worried now.
Lorelai just passed him the heap of files and papers. Luke just stared at them with a totally blank look on his face, so Lorelai had no idea what he was thinking as he just flipped through wedding catalogues, dress pictures, fabric styles, recipes, cake designs, and a guest list.
"Soo…?" Lorelai asked really nervous now.
"Okay" he said going to fill coffee cups.
"Sooo… what? Are you giving me a Mr. freeze? 'Cause I don't want you to freeze me out, I didn't mean to plan al- everything without you and we can change everything if you want to, I just truly cant wait to be married and it is going to be perfect, and I just got carried away… im sorry" she explained
By this time Lorelai had successfully followed him around the whole diner and back to the counter again.
"Luke…" she wanted him to talk to her.
Luke just grabbed her and kissed her hard
When they broke apart Lorelai was the first to talk "Wow um okay so is that a I forgive you I was never mad at you in the first place…"
"Lorelai I said okay cause im cool with whatever you want, im surprised that you had the time to do it already but sure, I don't mind" he said motioning for her to sit down.
"Your sure' she questioned.
"Hey as long as your there I'm good with anything" he told her
"You're the best boyfr- fiancé ever" she corrected herself.
"I've been told" he smirked.
"Ugh" she playfully slapped him "bye" she kissed him quickly as he handed her a bag with a couple of donuts.
"see ya later" he said
"2 o'clock" she added
Kirk walks back in as Lorelai's leaving "Luke did she pay for that"
"No." he told him
"You know I think if you were more friendly and didn't play favorites with Lorelai and were fair you would get a lot more customers…" he started to explain
"Shut up Kirk", "why are a here?"
"Im taking lulu out for lunch and I need my wallet" he said
"Well okay go home and get your wallet," he stated
"its here" Kirk said as if it was obvious.
"Where?" Luke asked
"I don't know I lost it" Kirk said
"Well its not here now" Luke sneered
"Luke! You're very unhelpful" Kirk exclaimed.
"Just doing my job" he said turning round and going into the storeroom.

The Gilmore Mansion"Its okay Emily, Im sure everything will turn out alright" Richard said trying to reassure his wife.
"but it was true, everything he said was true, I feel like a complete idiot" she exclaimed.
"Emily, its okay, you didn't know" he tried reassuring her again.
"I was embarrassed and… why didn't Lorelai ever tell me any of that stuff, about how Luke gave her 30,000 dollars and that Nicole cheated on him, and why didn't I know that Chris's business failed and that he's never there for Rory!" he grilled Richard angrily.
"Emily not even I knew about Chris's business failure. I wouldn't be surprised if he never told his own father". Richard said
"I still cant believe that Luke is financially balanced enough to give his friend 30,000 dollars without a second thought where as Chris couldn't even buy Rory a dictionary".
"I no, its startling to think that all this time Luke may have been better for Lorelai than Chris (financially)" Richard stated
"Yeah, we obviously misjudged him" Emily exclaimed.
"Yes we did" Richard agreed.

At the Inn"Sookieeeeeeeee!" Lorelai yelled upon entering the kitchen.
"Where's Sookie?" She questioned the woman grating carrots across the table.
"Je ne sais pas" answered the kitchen worker to whom Lorelai was talking.
"Um okay" she said thinking back to the French she learned for her and Rory's backpacking trip two years prior "what's you name" she asked.
"Je m'appelle Maria" answered The French woman.
"Maria, like, as in… sound of music" she sang.
"Excuse moi" she looked confused.
"Nothing" she explained. "Im Lorelai" she said holding out her hand for her to shake "Im the manager here".
"You Sookie co's worker yes" she said in a thick French accent not dissimilar to Michel's.
"Oh, um yeah that's me. So you do speak English then". Lorelai asked.
"Oui, un petite pas" she said "but its is nots good" she added
"oh okay well I forgot Sookie hired an extra hand around here but Im glad to finally meet you". Lorelai said.
"Yes you too" she says.
"oh well…" she was cut off by her cell phone she saw It was Luke she walked toward the pantry to answer it "nice to meet you" she said as she walked away.
"hey Lukey wats up" she answered.
"Um hey I was just wondering if you were doing anything later" he repliedh
"Well, I was going out with Bono tomorrow, but im sure he wont mind me canceling"
"Well now don't go canceling bono on my account" he joked.
"Well… this is a hefty decision… what did you have in mind?" she asked
"Dinner" he simply stated.
"Kay"
"Pick ya up at eight" he questioned
"Kay (in the background she hears a huge noise and lots of French swearing)
"Um oh my god! Luke I have to go I'll uh …see you later" she said distractedly.
"What's going on" he was curious.
"New kitchen staff… Michel…. Loud bang …got to go" she tried to explain.
"ok see ya later"
"bye" she hung up.

About 2:30 outside the Gilmore house
Lorelai, Luke and Rory are putting boxes of Rory's stuff in Lukes Truck
"Why wont you tell me where we are going!"
"Because It's a surprise" he simply stated.
"Ugh this is sooooo not cool" she told him
Luke just laughed
"Ok this should be the last box" exclaimed Rory carrying a large box.
"Im exhausted," said Lorelai dramatically put her hand to her head "I may faint" she says pointedly before falling back against Luke.
Luke (he is standing just behind her) catches her
"My savior!" she exclaimed causing all of them to laugh

That evening
"Wow the fuitis de la belle is very fancy" she said as they were entering the restaurant.
"Its not that fancy!" he said defending himself.
"Sure" she muttered as they sat down at their table.
"I like it though, it's nice," she said comfortably.
"Yeah, it is" he agreed.
"So…" she said looking at the menu "what to have" she said as she was scanning the back page "Luke, what's escargots"
"snails, in French" he explained
"eeeew" she said shutting the menu.
"Just have steak" he said
"Ok… so can we talk about the wedding? I got my dress today." She added
"Ok, what's it look like?" he asked.
"Well I can't tell you" she exclaimed.
"Why not?" he questioned
"So it's a surprise, duh, your acting like you've never got married before" she joked
"Yes and you saw how functional that marriage turned out to be" he stated.
"That's nothing compared to us, were going to be the most dysfunctional family ever" she said proudly.
"Good" he said seriously.
They just sat they way for a few seconds smiling enjoying there moment.
"I bought us a house" he blurted out.
"Wha-what?" She was surprised.
"I bought the Twickham house…for us" he explained.
"I…Uh…well" she was speechless, (not a normal occurrence for a Gilmore) she couldn't string a sentence together.
"Lorelai!" Two people was running toward her.
"O my god, not now" she muttered, so that only Luke could hear her.
"Lorelai Gilmore don't ignore your mother" Emily barked causing many people in the restaurant to turn round.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Lorelai asked.
"Richard offered to take me out tonight" she explained "now why wont you answer my calls?"
"Luke, Dad excuse us for a minute" Lorelai said before getting and grabbing her moms arm and pulling her with her
"Ok" said Luke
"Of course" said Richard
Lorelai dragged her mom out of the restaurant.
"Ok mom, just hear me out, I don't in any way, shape or form, care if you don't like or approve of Luke or us getting married." She bellowed "There is nothing that you can say that will stop me from marring him" she breathed a sigh of relief "glad I got that all out"
"Im Sorry." Emily said quietly.
"What" Lorelai was stunned.
"I apologize for not treating Luke, or your engagement with the respect that it deserves".
"Wow, that's why you kept calling" she asked afraid of the answer.
"Yes" Emily stated.
"To apologize" Lorelai clarified.
"Yes, now why didn't you tell me about Luke Lending you 30,000 dollars or about Nicole Cheating On him, Or about how Chris couldn't even buy a dictionary and that he's never around?" Emily grilled.
"Well, you left at the test run before I said anything, you never seemed to care about Lukes personal life, and I tried to tell you about Chris but you just kept trying to get us together." Lorelai explained.
"Again I apologize." she repeated.
"How did you know all this?"
"The Stars Hollow Online Newspaper" she explained "I truly am sorry"
"Its okay" Lorelai gave her mom a big hug which shocked Emily at first but then she hugged her back.
"So how are the wedding plans coming along" she said with tears in her eyes.
"Well everything's pretty much done, I even got my dress today, but I've still not bought a tiara or found my 'borrow' thing." Lorelai said.
"You can borrow my tiara" Emily said pulling out a large velvet pouch "here"
"Thanks mom" Lorelai started crying too.
"Your welcome, well we should be going, Richard can take me to max on main tonight"
Emily said and started leaving.
"Mom wait." She said "we're no where near done with the plans yet, Sookie and Rory are coming over on Saturday, you should come also, we could really use your advice"
"Thank- you Lorelai that means a lot to me" Emily exclaimed.
They smiled at each other.
"I should get back to Luke" Lorelai broke the silence "him and dad are probably having a right good old time by themselves, but ill see you Saturday' she half asked half stated.
"Ill be over at 10" Emily reassures her.

Later On In Lorelai's Jeep coming home"That was defiantly one of the best steaks I've ever had" she exclaims.
"It was good" he said nervous as to when to bring up the subject of the house again.
"I still can't believe my mom apologized, this is such a rare occasion, Im so happy!" she squeaked
"Yeah" he said halfheartedly.
"Plus, I cant wait to move" she stated nervously
"What!" Luke was so surprised he did a double take.
"Well I was thinking about it through dinner, and I think that t would be nice for us to have a house for us I mean mine is too small and no one else can fit in."
"no one else?" he questioned
"Id like a family, I mean…" she hastily added "if you would" she stammered.
"Defiantly" he added.
"So when do we move" she was now excited.
"That wasn't what I meant, I did buy the Twickham house, but I gave it back, and now Kirk probably has it." He said, mad that he didn't say anything sooner.
"No he doesn't, Kirk bought the property next too the dragonfly for him and Lulu, so the house is still on the market" she happily replied.
"I'll see if I can get it back than" he said.
"Good" Lorelai added.
And with that they drove back to Lorelai house in silence, not freezy silence, or awkward silence, but comfortable silence.
