Chapter 35
On the Way to the Reception (Stars Hollow Square)
Lorelai let out a sigh of relief, "That was great."
"You're telling me." Luke said.
"And now it's official, we're married, Luke."
"Yeah, we're married."
"I love you Luke."
"I love you too." Luke leaned in and gave Lorelai a long passionate kiss. Then they broke the kiss.
"So, how was everything before the wedding?" Luke asked.
"For most part it was okay, but for some, well let's just say it could've been worse."
"What happened?"
"Well Morgan was crying a lot in the morning, then Sookie called from the inn to tell me that something almost exploded, then after that Lucy's dress had to be sewn again, and well there were some other things, but hey, it's over now."
"Is Morgan okay?"
"She's fine, she just had a little scratch from God knows what and it probably was hurting a lot."
"Oh. How are you feeling now Mrs. Danes?" Lorelai smiled and put her head on Luke's shoulder.
"Well Mr. Danes, I finally have the life that I want for myself, and not the life my parents wanted for me. So I'm happy."
"I'm glad." Luke said and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
Lorelai looked up. "We're here." She said. They got out of the car and Lucy ran up to them.
"Hi guys." Lucy said giving each of them a hug.
"Hey Luc, how's everything going?" Lorelai asked.
"Kirk asked Miss Patty if he could use the microphone and now she's annoyed 'cause he's still asking her and she won't give in."
"Where are Rory and the babies?" Luke asked.
"They are with Sookie at the inn, but they're on their way over right now."
"Okay, okay."
"Well let's get this party started." Lorelai said excitedly.
"The bride and the groom will now share their first dance." Miss Patty said.
Luke took Lorelai's hand and they both stood on the dance floor. The music started.

"I love you Lorelai." Luke said as they danced.
"I know Luke, and I love you too. I love that we have our family and I love that it's you." Lorelai said. Luke gave Lorelai a kiss on her nose.
Over at the wedding party table Rory and Lucy were watching and talking.
"I think it's great, you know." Rory said.
"I do too." Lucy said taking a sip of her drink. She looked around the square. The townspeople were joining Lorelai and Luke on the dance floor.
Someone tapped Rory on the shoulder. Rory turned around.
"May I have this dance?" Jess asked.
Rory smiled and said, "Sure. I'll be back Luc."
"Okay."
"Everyone, I would like to make an announcement." Rory said into the microphone.
"It's my announcement too." Lucy said.
Everyone quieted down to let Rory and Lucy talk.
"As you all know Lucy and I have 3 new siblings, fathered by Luke." Rory started.
"They said that they wouldn't be able to go on a honeymoon because the babies needed them, but they're wrong." Lucy said.
"We would like to present you guys with two tickets to Hawaii for a week, courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa. While you are there, Lucy, Katherine, Morgan, and Matthew will be at Grandma and Grandpa's house and I will come every other day to help. So how does that sound?"
"It sounds perfect. Thank you guys, Mom, Dad, thank you." Lorelai said holding back tears.
"Yes, this is really special." Luke agreed.
Everyone clapped.
"And you'll be back before school starts for me. You'll be able to see me off on my first day at Chilton."
"And we already packed your things. They're waiting for you in the limo that will bring you to the airport."
"What did we do to deserve this?" Lorelai asked.
"Just for being the parents we could ask for." Lucy said.
Lorelai and Luke walked up to Rory and Lucy and gave them each a hug and people started clapping again.
"Bye Mom! Bye Dad! Have a nice trip!" Rory and Lucy waved as Luke and Lorelai went to the airport.
"Bye! We love you!" Lorelai called from the limo.
"We love you too!"
There's no point in describing all the details of Luke and Lorelai's honeymoon. We all know what happens on the honeymoon.
"I see them, I see them!" Lucy jumped up and down as she saw Richard pull into the driveway with Lorelai and Luke.
"Be quiet Lucy! The babies are sleeping." Rory said.
"Well they're here. Aren't you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy."
"Well come on then." Lucy ran through the house, almost knocking Emily over. "Sorry Grandma!" and she ran out the door.
"Lucy, no running in the house! Oh for heaven's sake." Emily called after her.
"Mom, Dad!" Lucy shouted and ran over to Luke and Lorelai.
"Hi Sweetie!" Lorelai said excitedly giving Lucy a hug.
"Hey Luc." Luke said also giving Lucy a hug.
"Never go away again."
"We wouldn't dare." Lorelai said.
"Mom, Dad!" Rory called and ran over to Luke and Lorelai, just the same as Lucy. She hugged Lorelai and Luke.
"Did you have a good time? Oh tell me how it was! Did you bring us anything?" Lucy said excitedly.

"Mom, I'm home!" 15½ year old Lucy called from the front door.
"Lucy!" a small curly brown haired, blue eyed, 2 year old Katherine came running to the door.
"Hi Katherine." Lucy said picking the little girl up.
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"Morgan falled down." Katherine said as she and Lucy went into the living room.
"Yeah?"
"Mhmm."
"Lucy!" a brown haired, blue eyed, 2 year old Matthew, and curly brown haired, blue eyed, Morgan came running out of the kitchen followed by Lorelai.
"Hey Hon." Lorelai said.
"Hi Mom." Lucy said putting Katherine down and bending down to give Matthew and Morgan a kiss.
"We maked cookies!" Morgan said proudly.
"You 'maked' cookies. Did you 'maked' cookies with Mommy or Daddy?" Lucy said mocking Morgan.
"Mommy!" Matthew shouted.
"Indoor voice bud." Lorelai said.
"You 'maked' cookies Mom? Since when do you 'maked' cookies?" Lucy said.
"It was the Pillsbury one that you stick in the oven. I'm actually surprised that I didn't blow them up or something."
"I'm impressed."
"Hey, where are my little monsters?" Luke called from the door.
"Daddy!" All three kids shouted.
"Hey!" Luke bent down, and all three kids jumped on top of him. Luke gave them all kisses and hugs.
"Hi Dad." Lucy said.
"Hey Lucy, how was school?"
"It was alright. Finished up a few exams, and stuff like that."
"That's good."
"Daddy, Daddy, look!" Katherine said showing Luke a picture.
"Did you paint that?"
"Mhmm."
"Me too!" Matthew and Morgan said showing Luke their pictures.
"Wow! I've got talented children." The kids giggled and smiled happily.
"And a talented wife." Lorelai said coming out of the living room.
"Why, what did you do?" Luke asked giving Lorelai a kiss.
"Drum roll please!" Lucy patted the wall to make what seemed to be a drum roll sound. "I made cookies."
"No way."
"Yes way, is that so hard to believe?"
"Yes." Luke and Lucy said in unison.
"You guys are mean." Lorelai said sticking her tongue out at Luke and Lucy.
"That's okay. Now, who wants to help me make dinner?" Luke said.
"Me! Me! Me!" Katherine, Matthew, and Morgan said jumping up and down.
"My little monsters do. Okay, let's get to it." Luke lined the kids up and they marched to the kitchen singing 'Hut, two three four, hut, two three four.' Lorelai smiled. This is my family, Lorelai thought, and she went into the kitchen.
The Gilmore-Danes clan lived together happily, with the occasional Lorelai/Emily fights. Lorelai's inn had been made number 1 in the state in 2008. Lucy went to Chilton. Rory graduated from Yale with honors and was editor of her newspaper. She married Mark Davidson in November 2007 and had a son, Jonathon Lucas, on February 16th, 2008. Jess graduated from community college and moved to New York where he became a writer. He married Christina Woodman in 2009.
Author's Note: So that's that. Story's done. I know this last chapter is kinda crappy. I feel so sad (. I was thinking of making a sequel, but JoEySaNgEl1534 gave me the idea of making a prequel. If you want a sequel or a prequel, or I could try both, please vote. Once I have enough votes I will get it up and running. Okay. Thanks for all your support, Haylie.
