Chapter 6

"Oh my gosh, Luke." Lorelai said looking at the ring. "Yes, Luke, I will marry you." Lorelai said smiling. Luke stood up and kissed Lorelai. Lorelai put her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. When they broke the kiss, the put their foreheads together and smiled.

"We're getting married." Lorelai whispered.

Stars Hollow, Connecticut

Lorelai Gilmore's House
Lane and Lucy are watching TV; it is silent

"Hey Lane?" Lucy said breaking the silence.

"Yeah?" Lane said.

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"Hanging out with me tonight. You could've said no, but you said yes even though I'm younger than you. You could've been hanging out with friends that are your age, but you hung out with me."

"It doesn't matter that you're younger than me, ever since you were born, and Rory and I used to hang out over here, I've always thought of you as a younger sister."

"You did?"

"Yeah."

"I always thought of you as another sister too. Now that Rory's gone, you're doing all the things Rory would've done with me if she were here. It makes me feel better."

Lane smiled. "You know you can talk to me about anything okay?"

"Yeah, I know, okay." Lucy said and smiled.

Luke's Diner – Apartment – Night
Luke and Lorelai are lying in bed together

"Hey Luke?" Lorelai said, lying on Luke's chest.

"Mmhmm." Luke said, playing with Lorelai's hair.

"That was great, this whole night. It was just…perfect."

"It was great. Especially that."

"No, it didn't suck at all." Lorelai said. It was quiet. "Hey Luke?"

"Yeah."

"We're getting married." Luke smiled.

Richard and Emily Gilmore's House – Pool House
Rory is lying on her bed thinking; her phone rings

"Hello?"

"Hey Rory, it's Lane."

"Lane, hi…how are you?"

"I'm good, how are you?"

"I'm good, I'm good, I've stared my community service hours."

"Yeah, that's good. Hey, I'm at your house right now."

"Oh yeah, who's there?"

"It's just me and Lucy, except she's asleep. Your Mom and Luke went out."

"Oh yeah that's good." This is awkward. Okay Rory say it, Rory thought to herself.

"Yeah, you know I was thinking, you could, you know, come by tomorrow, you know, to see Lucy. She really misses you." Lane said hesitantly.

"She misses me?" Rory said surprised.

"Yeah, she really does. We were talking about it and she sounded really sad, but I knew she wouldn't call, but if you came, she would have non choice but to talk to you. I mean this is crazy. You guys have got to work this out."

"I know, but we can't work it out if she doesn't wanna talk to me."

"Wow, for a smart person, you really dumb."

"You're funny." Rory said sarcastically.

"That's why I'm saying you should come to Stars Hollow and corner her. I can't stand to see you guys like this. Why don't you come by after your finished with your community hours."

"I'll think about it."

"Okay, that's all I'm asking. So, I will talk to you later."

"Okay bye Lane."

"Bye."

The Next Day…

Luke's Diner
Lane and Lucy come in

"Good morning lovebirds." Lucy says hopping on a stool.

"Hey Luc, how was your night?" Luke asked.

"It was good. Where's Mom?"

"She should be down soon. Lane, you working early today?"

"Nah, I'm going to go home and sleep some more, I'll see you later." Lane said leaving.

"Bye Lane." Lucy said. "Can I go up and see Mom?"

"Sure, what can I get you?"

"Umm, I'll have pancakes and bacon and hot chocolate."

"Okay, go on up."

Lucy goes upstairs

"Hey Mom." Lucy said, giving Lorelai a hug.

"Hey Sweets," Lorelai said returning the hug. "How was your night with Lane?"

"It was fun, we hung around town, ran into Miss Patty, ate, went home, watched TV, and went to sleep. The End."

"Sounds fun." Lorelai said with a smile.

"You're glowing, oh my gosh you totally did it."

Lorelai shrugged her shoulders and sat down on the couch. Lucy followed her.

"What?" Lucy said confused.

"I have something to tell you."

"Okay, what is it?"

"We're getting married!" Lorelai said excitedly, showing Lucy the ring.

"Aahh!" Lucy shrieked. "Oh wow, it's so nice, I'm so happy for you."

"Yeah?" Lorelai said.

"Of course." Lucy leaned back on the couch, and said, "Finally."

"What's that mean?"

"It' means finally. For all these years, the entire town has known about you and Luke having a little thing for each other. One time, Miss Patty and Babbette were even planning your wedding at a town meeting that you guys weren't at. You guys were totally oblivious."

"Really?"

"Uh huh. Let's tell the whole town; Sookie, Miss Patty, Babbette, Jackson, the kid down the street with the Mohawk, Ror-" Lucy stopped herself. "You are going to tell Rory, right?"

"Eventually, I will." Lorelai said.

"Well, you better do it fast, before she hears it from someone else."

They say there in an awkward silence.

"Let's go eat." Lorelai said breaking the silence.

"Yeah, let's go." Lucy said getting up and heading down stairs. Lorelai followed her and sighed.
