A/N: Okay so I lied, it didn't take me long to update.
Hey Everyone! Thank-you for your reviews! This chapter is forward a few months so its like 10 days before the wedding. Thank you all you reviewers, I dedicate this chapter to Amy Sherman Palladino 'cause, I totally love her and her writing on Gilmore girls (minus the 'all java junkie fans dropped dead' cliffhanger on the finale) I can't wait for September 13th, Luke has to say yes…
Disclaimer: I am not ASP (as you can probably tell from above) or a part of the WB so I (unfortunately) don't own Gilmore girls.
OkGoPrettyMuchRules: Im glad you liked it! Im pleased that you think the characters were dead on; I was just worried that the characters didn't sound right. Don't feel stupid, cause I do exactly the same thing as you when I read fanfics, and im happy that you think mine works! You always have the longest reviews, and I appreciate them A LOT!
Orangesherbert7: VEEERY happy you liked the chapter! And I always think long chapters are better when you read them so I decided to make that one longer. I have always love the Kirk scene and when I got to this chapter I realized there weren't any, so thast why I put it in. Emily was a little ooc but, I had to have her apologize, and since she dosnt apologize a lot, I thought it would be a big deal. Lorelai seems like the family type, and I wanted her to move.
Icytiger8888: LOL your review was probably my favourite. It was hilarious; you have a great sense of humor. Im glad you like the story. Have you written any LL fanfics? Id love to read them, they'd be so damn funny…
Sonnyangel: Im glad you thought it was realistic. It makes me happy, and when im happy I write more, LOL it's the circle of life really! The article ideas popped into my head after watching Christopher Returns. It may be hard to believe that stars hollow has an online newspaper but according to Lorelai in Christopher returns, there is one. "She didn't! Andrew from the bookstore called, and Jackson, oh and it was the cover story of the stars hollow web page." I presumed from that that there was a Stars Hollow online newspaper.
Believe it or not the whole 'Emily apologizing' thing is supposed to be sincere, she doesn't believe he's rich, she just realizes that he's a lot better for her (financially and otherwise) than Chris and there a lot about him she didn't understand.

Chapter 4: midnight confrontations, parties, and old flamesTwo and a half months had passed since the run in with Emily at Frutis de la Belle. Emily had got together with Lorelai, Sookie and Rory every Saturday to discuss the wedding. At first Emily was controlling and wanted to do everything her way, but Lorelai talked to her and she relented. Everything had been set up and Luke and Lorelai had moved into the Twickham house. Rory had her own room in their new house, and was staying there this week for Christmas break. The wedding was set the 26 of December and that was in 9 days, so everyone was excited.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
About midnight on Friday the 16th Of December (or December the 17th depending on how you look at it)
It was late, 12:15 to be exact and Lorelai still wasn't asleep, she had tried. Really! She had but her thought were somewhere else, that somewhere would be standing under a chuppah in 9 days in the garden of the dragonfly with snow everywhere as Luke and her promise themselves to each other forever….
So she got out of bed carefully so that she didn't wake Luke as she had everyday for about a week and went under the bed and pulled out her silky white wedding dress from its hiding place she slipped off the cover, went into the bathroom and tried it on.
"Perfect" she said to herself as she looked at herself.
She couldn't think about it enough, she was always thinking about what was happening in only 9 days, and honestly she couldn't explain how happy and safe she felt in that dress, she stood like that for about 15 minuets until she realized she needed sleep so, she started to take off the dress, but as se was talking it off, the zipper broke off.
"Crap" she said, she searched around the bathroom for her sewing bag but she couldn't find it.
"Damn it must be downstairs, I can't go down looking like this," she thought to herself
Oh well there's no one down there, so im sure ill be fine,
She crept downstairs carefully and went into the 'family room' (or Denzel as Lorelai had named it) where she had been fixing Sookies bridesmaids dress earlier and grabbed her sewing bag and headed through the kitchen to get back to the stairs when she was scared out other skin by someone else in the kitchen.
"Ahhhhhh" they screamed simultaneously as they saw each other
"Mom, wha-what are you doing here… I was getting Water… I thought you were the zombie bride… Why are you wearing your wedding dress" A smile crept onto Rory's face as Lorelai turned 13 shades of red.
"Well I- Um… I was…" but she was interrupted by the sound of Luke coming down the stairs.
"Oh no Luke!" she said as Rory pointed to the direction of the bathroom down the hall but Lorelai was already running towards it.
"Oh Hi Luke!" Rory said feigning cheerfulness as Luke entered the kitchen.
"What the hell was going, on I heard you screaming, and your mom was gone so I… where is she?" he was clearly worried.
"Oh um…" Rory said trying to think of an excuse of why they were both awake and were screaming "we uh b-both came downstairs for some water and we kind of scared each other, hence the screaming"
"Where is she now?" he asked.
"In the bathroom, I tell ya all that water…" she added.
"Yeah, yeah I get it, im going back to sleep then"
"Mm Kay night Luke" Rory said feigning tiredness.
"Night" Luke replied.
"Well that was close!" Lorelai said exiting the bathroom as soon as Rory gave her the 'all clear'.
"I no, its totally bad luck to see the dress before the wedding, plus it would be hard to explain this … she gestured toward her mom in the dress … to him" Rory stated
"He'd think you were insane trying on your dress every night".
"How did you know I was doing it every night?" Lorelai questioned.
"Cause you just confirmed it" Rory smirked.
"Oh well… I don't know what I was doing it for, I mean-"" Lorelai started to explain
"I get it mom, it's a love thing. Grandma told us about it" Rory said cutting her off.
"I no but I always thought it was stupid when she said it"
"That's cause you weren't in love enough to do it then, think about it, its logical" Rory reasoned.
"I guess… well I should probably get back upstairs before Luke goes through Lorelai withdrawal" she joked.
"Ill get you some clothes to wear" Rory replied before going upstairs.
"Thanks babe"

about 5 :30 on the 23rd (five days later)
"moooooooooooom!" she yelled "hurry up!"
"I don't need to be there exactly on time, its just a boring business dinner!" Lorelai yelled back.
"You may not need to be there on time, but Im meeting Logan in half an hour, and im dropping you off!"
"Okay, okay coming" she said running down the stairs and out the door.
"I'll be at the diner." Luke told Rory once Lorelai had left "oh and don't get her too badly drunk, cause she'll kill me tomorrow for letting you do this to her if she has a bad hangover".
"Yes sir Rory" mocked as she ran out to follow Rory.

At The Restaurant
"I still don't get why a business meeting should be held at a restaurant" she told the waiter who was showing her to her table.
"Yes ma'am" the waiter replied "in here ma'am" they said heading for a door
"This is a private room!" she said.
"Yes ma'am"
"Why do we need a room cant we just sit in the main restaurant" She was frustrated now.
"They requested a private room ma'am" he said opening the door.
"Okay but I still don't-" she was cut off balloons, a buffet, and a room full of her friends.
"SURPRISE!" Rory, Sookie, Paris, Lane, Miss Patty, Babbette, Emily, Mrs. Cassinni, Lulu, Gypsy and Liz shouted.
"Oh my god" she exclaimed and started laughing Rory "My baby, How did you do this?" she said giving Rory a hug
"Well Sookie set up the fake meeting, Grandma arranged this private room, I got you here, and Patty, Babbette, and Mrs. Cassini did everything else."
"Wow thanks everyone," she said
"We figured we do dinner here, and Drinks, deserts and games at your house afterwards" Sookie said
"Um, I don't really have anything…"
"Luke, Jackson and TJ are setting it up now." Liz informed her.
"Paris arranged the games; Lane arranged the Music" Rory told her.
"Oh my god you guys are all the best!" she said hugging everyone individually.
"So lets eat!" Gypsy yelled
"Agreed" said Lorelai as she grabbed a plate and headed for the buffet.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
About 7:00
"You know" said Patty "dear old Luke probably has everything set up for the party, don't you think its time to head back to Lorelai's house"
"Yeah suga, we been here almost two hour's" said Babbette
"Okay" Rory said "lets head back home"
"Uh hold on you guys, I need to go to the bathroom before we leave" Lorelai stated.
Lorelai went into the bathroom and as she was washing her hands, Nicole came out of a stall.
"Oh Hi Nicole" Lorelai said feigning niceness.
"Lorelai" Nicole replied curtly.
"So what brings you here?" She tried her best sweet voice to cover up for the complete hatred she had of this woman.
"Oh im here on a business meeting with a client, You?" she said with an attitude.
"Oh I at my Batchelor-ette party" she said naturally smiling at the thought of Luke.
"Oh that's nice," she said in and I don't care' manner "well at least that makes her out of the picture If I get back together with Luke" Nicole thought to herself.
"Yeah, We decided on a winter wedding cause I love snow, and Luke was okay with anytime of year so we went with near Christmas" Lorelai said loving the shocked look on Nicole's face when she told that Luke was her fiancé.
"You know, Lukes not really the marrying type" Nicole stated coldly.
"Huh, I guess it depends who he's married to" she stabbed back.
"Sure maybe" she said sarcastically before leaving the bathroom.
"Nicole" Lorelai muttered before leaving
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
About Half an hour later back at the Gilmore Danes HouseAfter they had played 'guess the stripper' (a game invented by Miss Patty) given their gifts of dirty shaped pasta (Sookie) sexy lingerie (Ms Patty and Babbette) and a Vase (Emily). They had all had quite a bit to drink also.
"Hey is saw Nicole in the bathroom" Lorelai admitted once loosened up after a few drinks.
"What is Nicole doing in your bathroom?" Lulu asked
"Not my bathroom, the one at that frenchy pouffy" restaurant thingy Lorelai said.
"Oh yes, I saw her outside the diner as we were coming down here" Mrs. Cassini said
"What like Lukes diner, the diner of Luke, I've got to do something about this Lorelai exclaimed standing up.
"What are you going to do?" asked Liz.
"I don't know" she said frustrated, sitting down "but I'll think of something!" She said proudly.
"Have fun with that" gypsy replied.
"I know!" she said before running out the door.
"Yeah!" everyone cheered as she ran out the house
"What are we cheering for?" asked Emily.
"I don't know but its fun" said Sookie.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Oh my gosh I better go and warn Luke that Nicole's coming" She thought to herself
Lorelai filled with nervousness about how she would tell him when she got to the diner
And she gasped when she saw Nicole's Black Lexus parked outside the diner.
Next On Emily's Epiphany: Lorelai deals with Luke and Nicole, plus The Gilmore Clan spends Christmas together.
A/N EEEEVVIILLL cliffhanger! I will update soon, I promise (before you chew your skin off with anticipation). But the next chapter will probably be the last chapter. But since I easily got 10 reviews last chapter, Im shooting for 15 (or 20 if you want an extra chapter) so it depends on what you guys want…
Be brave and….
