Lorelai woke up with a gasp, her nightmare fading into the darkness of the room as she tried gulping in extra air. As she calmed down her head turned to the figure lying next to her, hoping she hadn't woken him. Lorelai flung her covers aside and stumbled out of bed. She staggered down the stairs and into the kitchen. She began pouring herself a glass of water, staring out of the kitchen window as she did. She took a sip of the cool water and set it down on the work surface. As she did she saw a flash as her wedding ring glistened in the moonlight. She brought her left hand up to her face and sighed. They had decided to keep their impromptu wedding a secret, until the real wedding anyway. She hadn't even been married a day yet as she was already bursting to tell people, to tell Rory. Slowly she twisted the ring and pulling it off her finger. She took one final glance at the ring before placing it inside a small jewelled box that stood on the windowsill.

Things didn't feel right without her wedding ring on her finger. Her mind instantly went back to the days events. They had driven to Hartford and booked themselves an instant wedding and even though it had just been the two of them, the Judge and two witnesses, it had been magical. Simple but beautiful. There was no panic or running around at the last minute, no drunk relatives or dress emergencies, food going awry or anything else to distract them. They just looked into each other's eyes and said their vows.

"Hey" Lorelai spun round and met Luke's eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" Luke walked into the room and up to Lorelai.

"It's okay…..you gonna tell me what happened?" Lorelai looked around the kitchen, it wasn't exactly her favourite place to be, if she was going to have a proper talk to Luke it was going to be somewhere comfortable and safe.

"Not here" Lorelai grabbed Luke's hand and pulled him out of the kitchen. She grabbed loads of blankets and led them both outside onto the veranda where they both sat of the loveseat, huddled together underneath the pile of blankets.

"Here's good?" Lorelai nodded. "So?"

"My nightmare?" Lorelai began "I was locked in this dungeon somewhere and I began calling for help and Rory appeared outside the bars. She began saying all this stuff like she wanted to be just like me and then she began literally changing into me and I was looking at myself. It was me telling myself about all my mistakes" Lorelai paused for a second, gathering her thoughts. "For years I lived in that house and hated everything I was made to do, every piano lesson, every dinner party where they would dress me up and I would have to be nice and polite to a bunch of strangers. When the party ended, I would be reprimanded for not being polite enough and shouted at for not practising for a piano recital, there would always be a mile long list of things I did wrong. I hated living there, I did everything to rebel, everything to get out of that house and when I raised Rory I wanted her life to be different. I wasn't going to force her to do piano or ballet or anything she didn't want to do. I wasn't going to shout at her or call her stupid or do anything that would make her feel small. I didn't want her to feel like she wanted to leave but now?" Lorelai left the question hanging. "Now she's running away as fast as she can and I don't know what I've done wrong to make her hate me"

"She doesn't hate you"

"That's what she said Luke; she told me she hated me"

"She didn't mean it"

"Luke, what are we going to do?"

"We?" Lorelai smiled slightly.

"We're married now, Mr Danes, it's we and us all the way"

"Yes Mrs Danes"

"Get used to saying that" Luke laughed.

"So, what are we going to do?" Lorelai asked again.

"Well first of all I'm gonna say again that you did an amazing job of raising Rory and if she is turning into you then she will do an amazing job of raising her child. You and her are going to make up and then we are going to support her through everything. Make sure she has everything she needs, make sure she knows she is always welcome in our house" Lorelai began to tear up.

"You're going to make such a great dad" Luke smiled. Lorelai then groaned and placed her head in her hands.

"Hey, hey what's wrong?"

"I'm not even 40 and I'm gonna be a grandmother" Lorelai muffled through her hands. Luke laughed. Lorelai lifted her head and glared at him. "What are you laughing at? She's your daughter too now which means you're going to be a grandfather" Luke stopped laughing very quickly.

"Now I feel old" Lorelai laughed.

"Me too" She replied.

"Yeah but you don't look old, you look beautiful"

"Well Luke Danes, flattery will get you everywhere" Lorelai leaned forward and gave Luke a quick kiss. "I can already tell" Lorelai spoke as they broke apart "This is the beginning of an amazing marriage and a really really good middle" Luke smiled.

"Middle?"

"I didn't want just a start or an ending with you, I wanted a middle too"

"Middles are good"

"They certainly are"

"So you're feeling better now over the whole Rory thing?" Lorelai nodded.

"Things will work out, they always do between me and Rory and maybe our little grandkid will have a little uncle or aunt to play with"

"God that sounds weird" They both laughed. As the laughter died down the both looked at each other and smiled.

"Things will turn out okay"

"Yes they will" Lorelai rested her head on Luke's shoulder and sighed contentedly. They huddled further under the blankets and chatted the night away, talking more about Rory, about their wedding and what to do about the wedding everyone was expecting in two weeks time.
