The next morning Lorelai came bounding into the diner. A smile on her face despite the ungodly hour. Even her morning sickness hadn't put a damper on her good mood.

"Hey," Luke said when he saw her coming in the door.

"Hey yourself," Lorelai said leaning over the counter for a quick kiss.

"Your in a good mood, considering it's not even seven yet," Luke said as he sat a cup of orange juice in front of her.

"Well, I couldn't wait to tell you my good news. And since this kid seems to have your early rise gene here I am," Lorelai said bouncing up and down on her stool.

"So what's your news?" Luke asked

"When I got home last night there was a message from my mom. It seems that she has a prior engagement so Friday night dinner is off. So that means we can start moving in tomorrow," Lorelai said with a big smile.

"That's good. Do you want something to eat?" Luke asked pulling out his order pad.

"Of course I do. Pancakes, eggs, sausage and bacon please," Lorelai said as she took a sip of her juice.

"Coming right up," Luke said walking to the kitchen to put in her order.

"I was thinking maybe we could paint the house before we move in. You know... make it ours," Lorelai said watching Luke for a reaction.

"Sure," Luke said as he went to give Kirk his food.

"Sure? You mean I can paint the house," Lorelai said bouncing up and down again.

"No," Luke said as he sat her food in front of her.

"What? But you said we could paint the house," Lorelai said looking up at him.

"Yes we can paint the house. Which means Rory, Jess and I can paint the house. You are not allowed to paint," Luke said

"What do you mean I am not allowed to paint? I am an expert painter, look at what a great job I did with the diner," Lorelai said as she gestured to the walls.

Luke leaned in towards her with his lips to her ear. So that no one else would hear. "You painted the diner before you were caring my child. And I do not want you or the baby exposed to paint fumes," Luke said as he leaned back

"Besides you can still pick out the colors and tell everyone what to do," Luke said with a small smile.

"Well, ok then; if you put it that way." Lorelai said as she dug into her break fast.

"So are you going to the inn now?" Luke asked as he cleared away her plate.

"Yeah. Rory is supposed to meet me here for lunch and then I thought we could go pick out paint colors for the house. Do you think Jess would mind helping paint the house?" Lorelai asked as she finished off the last of her juice.

"He will help. Whether he wants to or not."

"Good. Well I better get going. I'll see you later." Lorelai said as she gave Luke a quick kiss before heading out the door.

Later that day…

Lorelai walked into the diner right in the middle of the lunch rush. Sinking down onto a stool at the counter next to Rory.

"Hey," Lorelai said as she put her head down on the counter.

"Hey. Coffee withdrawal?" Rory asked looking down at her mom.

"That and the fact that I get up at the crack of dawn to throw up for an hour," Lorelai said opening one eye to look at Rory.

"Hey you feeling ok?" Luke asked walking up to them placing a cup of coffee in front of Lorelai.

"What's that?" Lorelai asked pointing to the cup. Not bothering to lift her head to look into the cup

"Coffee. You look like you could use it," Luke said as he passed out food to another customer at the counter.

"Your a God," Lorelai said as she sat up to take a drink of her coffee.

"Here you go," Luke said as he placed plates of burgers and fries in front of Rory and Lorelai.

"Hey Luke?" Lorelai said once her burger was gone.

"Yeah?" Luke asked as he placed a cup of milk in front of her.

"I brought some paint samples. Do you have time to look at them?" Lorelai asked taking a sip of her milk and scrunching up her nose.

"You can pick. I'm fine with whatever you want," Luke said as he went to deliver a customers food.

"Come on just look at the paint samples. There aren't that many. You may end up with a pink bedroom," Lorelai said with a smirk.

"Fine, let me see them," Luke said walking back behind the counter.

"Yay. Lets start with our room. I have it narrowed down to these three." Lorelai said as she handed Luke three paint strips. The first one was a deep caramel color the second was a light burgundy color and the third was a pale blue.

"I like this one," Luke said holding up the light burgundy colored paint strip.

"Good. That one was my favorite," Lorelai said as she marked the back of the paint strip then put it in her purse.

"These are for the nursery," Lorelai said in a whisper so that no one would over hear. As she handed Luke three more paint strips. The first one was a light yellow, the second was a pale, sky blue and the third was a mint green.

"When are you guy's going to tell the town about the baby?" Rory asked looking at the colors in Luke's hands.

"I don't know. I didn't really think about it. What do you think?" Lorelai asked looking up at Luke.

"When ever you want to. Just tell me and I'll be there," Luke said not looking up from the paint strips.

"Oh, I know. I can go to Doose's and buy a pregnancy test. By the time I get back here it will be all over town," Lorelai said bouncing slightly in her seat.

"If your going to do that you might as well put up the sonogram picture. And wait until someone figures it out," Rory said with a smile.

"Yeah we could put it up right there," Lorelai said pointing to the bulletin board on the wall.

"Why don't we just tell everyone at the next town meeting?" Luke asked looking up at Lorelai.

"Because that wouldn't be any fun. Come on Luke. What do you say?" Lorelai asked with a smile.

"Fine, I have one of the pictures upstairs. I'll put it up before I open tomorrow morning. I like this one for the nursery," Luke said pointing to the sky blue paint strip.

"That's kind of freaky you picked my favorite again. Ok here... pick one of these for the kitchen," Lorelai said as she held up three paint strips. The first one was a deep red with a mauve color for the trim. The second one was a deep honey color with dark blue for the trim and the third one was light gray with a olive colored trim.

"This one," Luke said pointing to the deep red one.

"I guess I didn't need your help after all," Lorelai said as she put away the paint strips.

"Why?" Luke asked as he refilled Rory's coffee.

"Because we think alike," Lorelai said with a grin.

"That's a scary thought," Luke said as he went to take a couples order.

"So are you really ok with us moving?" Lorelai asked in a whisper once Luke was gone.

"I'm fine with it Mom. Just like I was fine with it the last ten times you asked me. Are you ok with moving?" Rory asked with a sly grin.

"I'm more than ok," Lorelai said with a huge smile, "I think we should get going so we can get the paint and get back. So you guys can get it painted tonight."

"Your not helping?" Rory asked

"Luke won't let me," Lorelai said rolling her eyes.

"What won't I let you do?" Luke asked walking back behind the counter.

"Help paint the house," Lorelai said pouting

"No I won't," Luke said wiping down the counter.

"So what are you going to do while we are painting?" Rory asked

"I think I might go see Sookie."

"Have you told her yet?" Rory asked.

"No not yet. I'll tell her tonight. We should really get going though or we'll never get back," Lorelai said as she stood up.

"I'm going to go say bye to Luke," Lorelai said as she made her way to the storage room where Luke was.

Lorelai walked as quietly as possible up behind Luke. He jumped slightly when she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her cheek against his back.

"Hey were going to head out now," Lorelai said squeezing Luke a little tighter.

"Ok, call me when you get back. I'll come over and help you get everything out of the car," Luke said as he turned around in her arms to look at her pulling her a little closer.

"I will. Did you ask Jess about helping?" Lorelai asked locking her arms around his neck.

"Yeah. He went to see Liz he said he would be back around four to help," Luke said leaning down towards her.

"That's good," Lorelai said pulling Luke's face down to where his lips were just a breath away from hers.

"I think we should get married," Luke whispered his breath teasing across her lips.

"What?" Lorelai asked pulling back slightly to look into his eyes.

"I said I think we should get married," Luke said moving his head forward to rest his forehead against hers before continuing. "And before you ask, no it's not just because of the baby. I had this planned out before we found out about the baby. I was going to propose and tell you about the house. I still want you to be my wife. I want us to grow old together in our house. I love you; pure and simple. Will you marry me?" Luke asked as he pulled back slightly.

Taking a small box from his pocket and showing her the ring inside. It was a simple gold band with two small diamonds on each side of a much larger one in the middle. Luke looked up to meet Lorelai's eye's she had silent tears running down her cheeks. That was all Lorelai needed was to know that he loved her and that she loved him. She didn't need a thousand yellow daises to make her want to marry him.

"Yes," Lorelai said as she pulled his face down to hers in soft kiss before pulling back.

"Will you?" Lorelai asked holding out her hand to him.

"Yeah," Luke said as he slipped the ring onto her finger. Gently kissing her finger before releasing it.

"It's beautiful," Lorelai said holding out her hand to look at the ring in the light.

"It was my mom's," Luke said taking her hand and intertwining their fingers.

Lorelai used her free hand to pull Luke's lips down to hers in an intense kiss. Luke's arms tightened around her in an almost crushing embrace. Lorelai was the one to break the kiss, she rested her head against his shoulder trying to get her breathing under control. Luke rested his cheek against the top of her head. They stayed that way for awhile. Until they heard someone softly clear their throat. They both turned to see Rory standing their with an amused look on her face.

"Do you realize that you went to say bye to Luke almost a half an hour ago," Rory said with a smirk.

"Oh, honey I'm sorry. I got distracted," Lorelai said holding up her hand to show Rory her ring.

"Oh my God... your getting married!" Rory said a little to loud looking from her mom to Luke and back again.

"Yes now shush. Before everyone hears you," Lorelai said pulling Rory into a hug.

"Sorry. But this is amazing. I am so happy for you guys," Rory said as she let go of her mom and hugged Luke.

"Thanks," Luke said hugging Rory.

"As much as I hate to say it we really need to go," Lorelai said moving to give Luke a quick hug before heading for the door.

"Ok I'll see you guys later," Luke said following Rory and Lorelai out the door and back into the diner.

"Oh I forgot something," Lorelai said turning back towards Luke.

"What?" Luke asked when she was right in front of him.

"This," Lorelai said as she grabbed the collar of Luke's shirt pulling him down to her for a demanding kiss. That left them both breath less. Lorelai turned and left the diner leaving Luke in a daze.

"Your getting married and your going to have a baby. This is just wow," Rory said grinning over at Lorelai. As they pulled up in front of the paint supply store.

"Yeah I know it is pretty amazing," Lorelai said glancing down at her ring, before getting out of the Jeep.

"Do you think we have time to stop at the mall?" Lorelai asked once they were back in the car.

"What time do we need to be back at the diner?" Rory asked.

"Luke said Jess would be back to help at four. So I figure three thirty," Lorelai said pulling out onto the road.

"It's only two now so I guess if we make it fast we should be fine,"

"Ok good. My clothes are getting kind of tight. I need to get some thing's in a bigger size,"

"Oh we could look at all the baby stuff too. Maybe pick something up for Sookie," Rory said bouncing in her seat as they turned into the mall parking lot.

Lorelai and Rory made their way through the mall after getting Lorelai's clothes they headed towards baby depot.

"Mom look," Rory said as pointed to a table that had newborn sized flannel shirts and jeans on it.

"We have to get one," Lorelai said picking up the little flannel shirt.

"Look they even have them in pink. We should get a pink one too in case you have girl," Rory said as she picked up a pink flannel shirt and a little denim skirt.

"We should get that for Sookie's little girl. We can come back if I have girl," Lorelai said as she picked up a pair of jeans to go with the flannel in her hand.

"Ok we should see if they have little hat's too," Rory said looking around

"I can't decide which one I like more. The blue and white one or the red and blue one," Lorelai said holding both of the flannels up for Rory to see.

"Get both," Rory said handing her another pair of jeans.

"You're right. Lets go see if they have the baseball caps," Lorelai said heading off to find them.

"Are you going to show Luke what we got?" Rory asked as they pulled up in front of the diner.

"You think we should?" Lorelai asked looking into the bag at the little baseball cap, flannel shirt and jeans. That Lorelai had ended up buying in six different colors.

"Yeah I think he will like them," Rory said as she got out of the Jeep.

"Well let's go on in," Lorelai said with the baby depot bag in her hand.

"Hey what's in the bag?" Luke asked when he saw them.

"Hey it's a surprise," Lorelai said as she made her way over to the counter with Rory following her.

"It's pretty empty in here," Rory said as she looked around at the empty diner.

"Mid afternoon lull," Luke said as he placed a cup of coffee in front of her and a cup of apple juice in front of Lorelai.

"So do you want to see what's in the bag?" Lorelai asked swinging the bag in front of her.

"Sure," Luke said as he went to take the bag from her.

"Wait. You cant just take the bag. I have to do an unveiling," Lorelai said pulling the bag back from him and placing it in her lap.

"First... what we got for Sookie," Lorelai said as she pulled out the little pink flannel and denim skirt laying them out on the counter.

"Next what we got for you. Well kind of," Lorelai said as she pulled out the six little flannel shirts, jeans and of course one baseball cap.

"What do you think?" Lorelai asked looking up at Luke.

"I think there kind of small" Luke said with a small chuckle as he held up one of the shirts.

"Look honey Luke made a joke," Lorelai said looking over at Rory.

"I know. It's like your marrying Adam Sandler," Rory said.

"Fine I'm sorry. They are very nice. But what are you going to do if it's a girl?" Luke asked playing with one of little shirts.

"What? A girl can't wear flannel? You don't seem to mind when I wear it," Lorelai said with a smirk.

"Hey Jess," Rory said before Luke could respond.

"Hey it's four are we ready to start?" Jess asked walking over to the counter.

"Poor kid," Jess said looking at all of the pint size flannel.

"What? I think it's cute," Lorelai said as she started picking up the outfits and putting them into the bag.

"We all know that," Jess said with a smirk.

"Well I'm going now. I'll be at Sookie's if you need me," Lorelai said as she leaned over the counter to kiss Luke.

"Bye guys," Lorelai said as she walked out the door.

"Ok we might as well get started now," Luke said as he picked up his keys and headed out the door with Rory and Jess right behind him.

TBC Reveiw and let me know what you think.
