Again very sorry about the chapter mix-up and all the extra alerts you received but I got mixed up about which chapter was which and then I was posting chapters in the wrong order. It's all sorted now and shouldn't happen again. As for the Lorelai hurt thing, let's just pretend she's healed already cos I didn't know how to work it into the story without it dragging on. Glad you like the Rory story, I wasn't sure if it was going to work or not.
"I want us to get married" Luke laughed softly at her impatience.
"We are"
"No Luke, I wanna get married now"
"What?"
"Luke I want to be married to you now, today"
"But-"
"But what?"
"We already have everything planned for the twenty first, people are expecting us to be there, you know, unmarried"
"We'll have two weddings then. Luke I want us to go to Hartford, me in a dress, you in a suit and well do to Hartford County Hall and get hitched" Luke looked unsure. "I need to be married to you right now" She added softly. Luke's heart broke at the tone in her voice, the words she spoke and the desperate look in her eyes.
"How long will it take you to get ready?" He asked. For the first time since the argument with Rory Luke saw her smile. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him across the counter pulling him into a passionate kiss.
"If we leave now I can be ready in less than an hour" She whispered against his lips. Luke pulled away quickly and circled the counter. He grabbed Lorelai's hand and pulled her off the stool and out the door, pausing quickly to lock up after them.
"Lorelai you said less than an hour!" Luke shouted up the stairs. He pulled at his tie and took another look at his watch.
"I'm nearly done keep your panties on!" She shouted back. Ten minutes later he heard the familiar sound of high heels as they hit the wooden stairs. Luke spun round and was met by Lorelai. His jaw dropped at the dress she had chosen to wear. It was a deep turquoise that matched the deep blue of her eyes. The delicate straps led down to a low cut, leaving her slender arms bare and enough cleavage for Luke to drool at. The dress finished at her knees in waves of silk and chiffon. She wore the jewellery that Luke had given her and had put her hair up using a single sliver slide, letting small wisps of hair hand loose, framing her smiling face.
"You look beautiful" He choked out.
"You don't look too bad yourself" She walked up to him and fiddled with his tie so it was more comfortable for him.
"You ready to go?"
"Are you ready to marry me?" Unsure that he was ready for another spur of the moment wedding.
"I would have married you the minute you asked me if I could"
"Okay, stop with the soppiness, I'm not wearing waterproof mascara"
"Sorry" Lorelai kissed him, telling him he was easily forgiven.
"I wanna be Danes" Lorelai said suddenly, breaking away from the kiss.
"Huh?" Luke mumbled, still in kissing mode.
"I wanna be Lorelai Danes" Lorelai clarified.
"You do? Why?"
"Because If I'm a Gilmore than I'm always going to be associated with my parents and their way of life. I'm starting a new family with you and I wanna be associated with you"
"Good answer, but are you sure? I wouldn't mind if you weren't"
"Totally and utterly sure"
"Mr and Mrs Danes"
"Sounds good doesn't it?"
"Sure does" Luke wrapped an arm round her wait and led her out of the house.
