Before Luke could reflect on the statement he had just made, Lorelai's lips forcefully clutched onto his. At first his body tensed up, but quickly relaxed as the kiss became deeper and more passionate.

Lorelai pulled back for air. "I've wanted to do that for eight years." she replied breathlessly.

"I've missed that." Luke replied almost as out of breath as she was.

"You're still good at it." she smiled.

"So are you."

They quickly embraced each other again and continued with their "make out" session. After several minutes, Luke held Lorelai at arm's length.

"What is this?" he asked quickly.

"French kissing." she panted as she leaned in to restart the whole drill.

"Lorelai." Luke stopped.

Suddenly, Lorelai's sensible side kicked in. "I don't know." she replied as she leaned her body away from Luke.

"Lorelai..." Luke paused. "Do you still love me?" Luke stared directly into her eyes.

The answer was bursting to come out of Lorelai, for so long she wanted to confess this feelings. "Luke, I never stopped." She said as her heart began to race.

Luke's eyes wondered back and forth furiously. "Marry me." he demanded.

Lorelai swallowed heavily. "When?" she asked.

"Next Sunday."

"Okay." She replied softly.

"Really?" Luke asked turning his head slightly to the left.

"Really." Lorelai burst out in a giggle.

Luke jumped from the couch. "I thought you would say no!" he exclaimed in relief. "Oh, man!" He raised his hands back behind his head. "You mean it, you really mean it?" He asked again.

Lorelai stood from the couch. "I do." she replied sweetly.

Luke grabbed Lorelai by the waist and swung her around the living room in excitement. As he placed her back on the floor their lips found each other once more, this time not pulling away for minutes. Finally, Lorelia's concentration was distracted by the young girl standing in the doorway giving them both a very bewildered stare.

"Rory." Lorelai said awkwardly, causing Luke's eyes to bulge as he quickly let go of Lorelai and turned around.

"Hey, weren't you asleep?" Luke asked wiping at his mouth.

"I was." Rory replied in a matter of fact tone. "You woke me up."

"Oh, sweetheart, we're sorry." Lorelai answered in almost a laugh. "We just got a little over excited." she smiled.

"But hey, since you're awake now, we can share the good news with you." Luke replied.

"Does it have something to do with you guys kissing?" Rory asked curiously.

"Well, yeah, kind of." Lorelai said as she walked over to her daughter. She bent down closer to Rory's level. "Luke just asked me to marry him." Lorelai said with ease as if she had been practicing it all her life.

Rory glanced over at Luke who was standing proudly in the middle of the room. "What did you tell him?" Rory inquired without any sign of emotion behind her question.

"I told him yes." Lorelai smirked.

"Hence all the excitement." Luke added. "And the waking you up."

Rory pierced her lips tightly together and then looked up innocently at Luke. "So, we're going to be a real family?"

Luke strolled over and lifted Rory up into his arms. "If that's okay with you?" Luke replied.

Rory quickly threw her arms around Luke's neck. "Yes!" She exclaimed. She quickly let go and reached for Lorelai and repeated the gesture.

When the moment seemed as if it couldn't get any better, the phone rang. "I'll get it." Luke replied politely.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Lorelai Gilmore's residence?"

"Yes." Luke confirmed.

"May I ask who is speaking?" The voice replied.

"This is Luke. Who is this?"

"This is Carven. May I speak to Lorelai please?"

"Uh, sure." Luke replied handing the phone to Lorelai.

"Who is it?" Lorelai asked as she placed Rory on the floor.

"Some guy named Carven." Luke replied clueless.

Lorelai sighed as she took the phone. "Hello?"

"Lorelai, hey." The voice replied cheerfully.

"Carven, why are you calling?" Lorelai asked in a cold voice.

"Well, I was sitting here and I all of a sudden realized that Rory doesn't have a swing set."

"What an enlightenment." Lorelai replied.

"That's exactly what you can call it." Carven added. "So, it became perfectly clear what had to be done. I'm going to buy her a swing set."

Lorelai couldn't believe her ears. "What? No, Carven, you're not." Lorelai spoke slowly as if speaking slower would make Carven understand better.

"Lorelai, every child needs a swing set." Carven stated sure of himself. "Considering it a house warming gift."

Lorelai placed her hand to her forehead. "Don't you have someone else you can assist?"

"I'd rather assist you." He quickly answered. "Come on, let me spoil the girl. I never had a swing set growing up. I remember how much I wanted one."

"Then buy yourself a swing set, Carven. Don't call here anymore." Lorelai hatefully replied as she hung up the phone. "What a creep."

"Is this guy giving you trouble Lorelai?" Luke asked.

"Oh, not really." Lorelai answered. "He's just really annoying and always wanting to do things for me."

Luke slowly shook his head. "Mmm hmm. Well, I'll put a stop to that."

"Luke, he's the landlord." Lorelai rolled her eyes. "There's not much that can be done."

"Well, you can move out." Luke suggested.

"And where would we go?" Lorelai asked folding her arms across her chest.

"You can stay at my apartment for now, and I'll buy us a house later, after we're married."

Rory, who had been patiently quiet all this time, finally spoke up. "I don't like Carven, Mommy."

"Me either sweetie." Lorelai agreed.

"He's always staring at me, or winking at me." Rory wrinkled her nose. "It's weird."

"Well, then it's settled." Luke concluded.

"Luke, isn't your sister and nephew at your place right now?" Lorelai asked.

"Oh." Luke said as his mouth gaped open. "Jeeze, I forgot about them." He paused then quickly added. "But they never stay more than a few days. I'm sure they'll be gone soon."

"Perhaps we should just stay here a little longer." Lorelai replied rationally.

Luke sighed. "Yeah, I guess it would be the best idea, but just for a few more days." He emphasized. "I'll start looking at houses tomorrow."
