"So, you're saying yes?" A happily voice replied.

"I am." Lorelai burst into laughter.

"Lorelai Gilmore, I love you!" Matthew scooped up Lorelai and twirled her around. Lorelai giggled continuously. "We're going to do so much!" Matthew sang out. "We'll travel and see the world... we'll have big family dinners... He put Lorelai down. "Where's Rory?" he asked.

"She's at the library." Lorelai replied. "Why?"

"Let's go get her." Matthew insisted. "We'll all go out to eat." he started to walk towards the door.

"Matthew.." Lorelai smiled.

"Come on." He teased. "You know you want to celebrate." He leaned in and kissed her. He grabbed her hand and guided her out the door.

"And then I scooped her up into my arms." Matthew bragged. "Just like in the movies."

"Aww.. How wonderful!" Sookie exclaimed. "I'm so happy for you two!"

"Thank you Sookie." Matthew replied.

"Gosh... Matt, you're really getting a good wife." Sookie smiled, starting to tear up a bit. "And a great kid." insinuating Rory. "They're both so special."

"That I know." Matthew added sipping his coffee. "And you're her best friend, so that's why I asked you to meet me here today. I want to take Lorelai somewhere special for the honeymoon. Do you have any idea where that special place may be?"

"Wow..." Sookie paused. "Well, she's always talked about how beautiful Paris is." Sookie sighed. "Paris is such a romantic city..." she gazed.

"Yes, it is." Matt agreed. "So, you think she would like Paris then?"

"Who wouldn't?" Sookie asked raising an eyebrow. She looked over at Luke, and suddenly her happy mood was broken. Sookie knew Luke had always had a thing for Lorelai. He would be crushed when he heard the news.

"What are you looking at ?" Matthew asked, as he turned his head.

"Oh, nothing." Sookie replied.

"Well something certainly disrupted your cheery disposition." Matthew noted.

"It's just so much is going to change now. Lorelai has been single for so long..."

"I know she has." Matt answered. "But it's going to be a good change, Sookie. I promise." He smiled.

"Hey, Rory." Tristan greeted.

"Hey." Rory smiled.

"Did you have a good Christmas?"

"Sure." Rory replied casually. "Did you?"

"Ah, it's the same as every year." Tristan shrugged. "My parents go to their high class parties, and I sit and watch old Christmas movies."

"Honestly?" Rory asked surprised.

"Yeah." Tristan confirmed.

"That's so sad."

"Not really. I'm not big on Christmas, anyways."

They continued to walk til the reached the bus stop.

"Well, this is my stop." Rory joked.

Tristan smiled. "If I ever get lucky..." He began. "Maybe I'll get a chance to spend Christmas with you sometime."

Rory blushed. "Maybe." she agreed.

"Bye, Rory." Tristan paused, getting a good look a Rory, then walked to his car to leave.

(Luke's)

"Excuse me." Matt interrupted. "Are you the man who owns this place?"

"I am." Luke replied.

"Good... Lorelai loves the coffee here." Matt began. "I was thinking of having you make the coffee for our wedding reception. She'll be thrilled."

Luke's face turned several colors "What the hell are you talking about ?"

"Oh..." Matt smiled. "You must not have heard. I'm marrying Lorelai Gilmore."

Luke's body tightened. "Really?" he said through gritted teeth.

"Yes." Matthew nodded. "Really. So, will you serve the coffee?"

"No." Luke replied coldly.

"I'll pay you good money."

"No." Luke confirmed and walked back into the kitchen.

(The Gilmore House)

Lorelai sat on the couch admiring her new ring. "It's so pretty." she smiled.

"Yes... it is." Rory agreed. "When are you going to tell Grandma and Grandpa?"

Lorelai's smiled faded. "Never."

"You have to tell them."

"I know."

"They'll be mad if you don't."

"I know."

"I'm not telling them."

"I... What?" Lorelai squinted. "Why not?"

Rory laughed. "Mom."

"Aw, come on Rory... You've got such a way with words." Lorelai teased. "If I tell them I'm getting married, they'll ask me a thousand questions, and no matter what I say I'll never answer them correctly. They'll give me cold stares all night, they'll make witty comments about him being a school teacher."

"I think you're over reacting, just a little." Rory replied.

"I'll tell them Friday." Lorelai said regretfully.

"Hey, you two." Matt smiled as he walked through the door.

"Hey, babe." Lorelai said as he leaned over the couch to kiss her.

Babe? Rory thought to herself. She never heard her mother call anyone babe, except for her.

"So, I was thinking how about pizza and a movie?" Matt asked.

"You've got us pegged." Lorelai smiled.

"Rory, would you like to go with me?" Matt offered. "You can pick out the movie while I go grab the pizza."

Rory's body stiffened. The last thing she wanted was to spend time with Matt. Especially time alone. "No, that's okay."

"Go on, Ror." Lorelai encouraged.

"Why don't you go?" Rory offered instead.

"Well, I was thinking Lorelai could put on some coffee while we're gone, and get everything ready." Matt quickly replied.

"I don't want to go." Rory shot back.

"Rory... Please." Lorelai said in a stressed low voice.

"It's okay, Lore." Matt replied placing his hand on her shoulder. "I'll just go on home."

"Matt no." Lorelai objected. "This is ridiculous!" She raised her hands and she got up from the couch. "Rory just go pick out a movie."

Rory exhaled deeply. "Fine." She muttered and stomped into her bedroom to grab a jacket.

"She's really got to drop this attitude." Lorelai huffed.

"Lore, she's a kid." Matt smiled. "She probably just feels that I'm taking you away from her."

"She can't just act like that." Lorelai complained. "She's always been such a sweet kid, she never disrespects people, and if she thinks that she can disrespect you..."

"Lorelai..." Matt said rubbing her shoulders, and guiding her back down on the couch. "She'll be okay, we'll spend some time together tonight, and she'll see I'm not as bad as she thinks."

"I hope your right." Lorelai sighed.
