Previously on Gilmore Girls:

"He knows how I feel about…you." She whispered it so quietly that after a minute of silence she looked up at him to make sure he had heard her.

He had.

"What?"

CHAPTER 4

"Uh…I said…that" She couldn't believe she had just said that. Part of her wanted to pretend it had never happened, but another part, a bigger part, wanted to just admit it, tell him how she felt, and hope he felt the same way.

"I said that I like you, what am I saying, of course I do, you're one of my best friends, but I mean I like like you. God now I sound like I'm twelve. You know how you tell your first crush 'I think I like you like you.' God I really do sound like I'm twelve. Ok I'll just say it… I love you! Ok, there I said it I lo…"

She was cut off by the sweet taste of Luke's lips on her own.

He pulled back as quickly as he had initiated the kiss.

"Sorry…I just…you were rambling…and I…"

He was cut off by the same sensation she was. Wow was all Luke could think before he felt her tounge enter his open mouth, and his mind completely shut off.

The kiss grew more passionate, neither wanted to pull away but the need for oxygen was too desperate. Darn oxygen! He cursed. They pulled back and looked into each other's eyes, as their breathing slowly fell back to a normal speed.

"I love you." Lorelai whispered.

"You have no idea how long I have been waiting for you to say that." He pulled her into another pationate kiss but it didn't last as long this time. He needed to tell her.

"I love you Lorelai Gilmore." He whispered into her ear

At hearing these words her face broke out into a wide grin. "Really?"

"Really"

"Really Really?"

"I know where this is going." He sighed and leaned back against the bench.

Lorelai took this opportunity to lift up his arm and place it around her shoulder so that she could lie against him.

Luke loves me! Lorelai thought to herself. I wonder what our first date will be like. Date? Luke? I'm dating Luke? I'm dating Luke. She repeated but this time it was more of a statement that a question.

Her mind was filled of thoughts of Luke.

The next thing she knew there was a bright light shining in her eyes. She lifted her hand to cover her eyes, but the sudden movement caused Luke to wake up to.

"Luke?" She asked when she had remembered the events of the previous night.

"Yeah" he replied in a sleepy tone.

"Where are we?" The last thing I remember is sitting in the gazebo, telling Luke I love him, then kissing him. Kissing Luke, That was fun. Yeah, but where are we now? She wanted to know but opening his eyes was too much effort right now.

"Oh My God!"

This got her to open her eyes. But when she did she immediately shut them again.

No way! This is the one downside to living in a small town. You can't even go to sleep in the middle of the town gazebo without everyone there to watch you wake up. Well maybe sleeping in the town gazebo is a little weird but… ok there is no situation where me sleeping in the gazebo wouldn't be weird but… Kirk could and no one would bat and eyelid. But Luke and me… No!

Standing around the gazebo was half the town, some still in their night clothes, including Babette and Kirk both of which had obviously rushed out to see the scene, that was so important almost everyone in Stars Hollow

When she opened her eyes next it was because her pillow was getting up to yell at the crowd that had gathered to see the new couple awake.

Luke was now giving everyone a piece of his mind. Lorelai lay back down on the bench and shut her eyes. Smiling to herself as she listened to Luke's rant, she drifted off into another deep sleep.

Dream

"Mom! Mom wake up!"

Lorelai opened her eyes and saw a little girl, about five years old and another who was about seven.

"Yeah Mom, dad said we can't open our presents until you're up!" complained the older girl.

They both climbed onto the bed and started bouncing.

"Lorelai?" called a familiar voice from down the hall.

Just then Luke walked into the bedroom, that she now recognised as her own. He was carrying a baby wrapped in a blue shawl in his arms.

He walked over to her and placed a sweet kiss on her lips. Then he handed her the tiny baby.

…

About an hour later (8am) Lorelai was still asleep, Luke had just finished making breakfast, and he went over to where she was lying to wake her up.

"Lorelai," She heard someone calling her, but she didn't want to wake up.

"Lorelai," They called again.

Then she was awake. "Luke?" She looked around. She was lying on the sofa in his apartment; she had a pillow and a blanket thrown over her. She knew he had made breakfast by the sweet aroma filling the room. "How the…"

"You fell asleep, so after answering all of Miss Patty's questions I carried you back here. Didn't want you to catch a cold, do we?"

"No I guess not." She shot him a warm smile.

"Um… last night…"

"I meant what I said." He reassured her.

"Good…good, me too." Lorelai stared into his eyes, they were so…blue.

"So…um… you want some coffee?" He asked her even though he knew the answer.

"No." That wasn't the answer he was expecting.

"What?" He had already started towards the kitchen, but her announcement, if you could call it that, had made him turn around.

She was laughing at the shocked expression he was wearing. "Joking! Do you even have to ask?"

He smiled at her and walked into the kitchen to make the death liquid.

She remembers what she said last night, what I said. And she doesn't regret it. Wow, she really meant it.

Luke decided not to open the diner that day, he knew if he did Miss Patty and Babette would bombard him with another load of questions.

After breakfast Luke was in the shower and Lorelai took this opportunity to phone Rory. She held down the umber one on her phone and waited to hear her daughter's voice.

"Hello? Mum? Are You Ok? What happened?" A panicked Rory had so many questions, she just hopped it wasn't another salesman. Only half an hour earlier had she embarrassed herself by asking Tom, from Tom's loan these same questions.

"Yeah, Hun. I'm sorry I didn't phone, but Luke and me we…"

"You what? You and Luke, what?"

"Well if you had let me finish…"

"Sorry, carry on"

"Well, you know Nick, well he…"

Rory cut Lorelai off again, "What? You said about you and Luke, now you're talking about Nick. I'm confused." She complained

"I'm trying to explain but you keep interrupting. So Nick and I broke up, and I told Luke that I love him…"

Once more her daughter cut her off. "You love Luke? FINALLY!" Rory screeched down the phone. She was so exited, she had always wanted her mother to open her eyes and see him, Luke. The only guy that was always there, that they could rely on, both of them.

"Yeah, I do love him."

"Wow! What did he say?" Rory was desperate to know how it had all happened.

Lorelai filled her in on all the events of the previous night.

When she heard the water stop she said goodbye and told her she would be home later that day.
