"Oh, Luke." Lorelai gasped. "It's beautiful."

"You like it?"

"I love it."

"Great, cause Rory and I have already made plans." Luke smiled.

"We're going to build a tree house!" Rory declared.

Lorelai smiled at her daughter. "Can you really afford this?" She directed at Luke.

"Money isn't an issue." Luke answered vaguely.

"It just seems like so much."

Luke wrapped his arms around his soon to be wife. "I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe, happy, and with me." He kissed her gently on the cheek.

She turned and found his lips. "I love you." she whispered after pulling away from the kiss.

Later that day, Lorelai and Rory had packed up most of their belongings and Luke had loaded them up in his truck.

"We can go back for the rest tomorrow." Luke said breathlessly. "I'm beat tonight."

"Sounds good." Lorelai agreed as she sat down on couch in Luke's apartment. "Where's Rory?" she asked looking around. Lorelai jumped suddenly from her seat, but quickly regained her calm when she saw Rory laying peacefully in Luke's bed.

"She must be worn out as well." Luke noted as he walked over and pulled up the covers around her.

Lorelai slightly laughed. "You know, ever since the DNA test, I see more and more of you in her. I'd always seen things, but now..." Lorelai paused. "Now they're overwhelming."

"I couldn't be more happier that she's mine. I only wish I'd known sooner." Luke replied.

Lorelai's guilt had been constantly harassing her the last few days. "It's my fault." She said. "I've kept her away from you all of these years, because I was too selfish and afraid to come back."

"You didn't know for sure that she was mine."

"It doesn't matter. I should have taken the chance." Lorelai sighed. "I've never been good at getting things right."

Luke pulled her over to the couch and sat her down. "Don't be so hard on yourself." he said as he began to rub her shoulders. "I've never seen a kid who thinks so highly of their mom. You're doing a great job with Rory."

"Being a mom is easy." Lorelai added. "It's being everything else that scares me to death."

Luke's eyes gazed at Lorelai's neck and hair. She was so beautiful. Everything he had ever dreamed of rested within this woman. "I'll always be here to help." he replied after several moments.

She turned to face him. "How do you do it?." She smiled. "You're just so, amazing."

Luke's face blushed, and he could feel it, quickly he tried to hide it. "Well, I'm just glad to have you away from that psycho landlord."

Lorelai's mood suddenly changed. "He reminds me of Christopher." she replied.

At the sound of Christopher's name, you could see hatred build in Luke's eyes. "It took a lot to keep myself calm, yesterday." He added. "I wanted to kill him when I found him in the apartment. Then when Rory told me he made her miss her buss. That guy is such a jerk."

"It's weird, he doesn't seem to want to hurt anyone." Lorelai concluded. "He just wants lots of attention, all the time."

"Yeah, I think psycho pretty much sums it up." Luke said coldly.

"Well, we don't have to worry about that any longer." She stood from the couch and walked over to the bed. She gently laid down beside her daughter and stared at her for several moments.

Luke remained sitting on the couch. "You two can have the bed tonight." he stated. "I'll sleep here on the couch."

"Rory doesn't take up much room, Luke." Lorelai replied in a low voice, so as to not wake her daughter.

Not following Lorelai's thought Luke replied. "Yeah, you should have plenty of room."

"So should you." Lorelai added, in a bit more obvious tone.

Suddenly, Luke's thought emerged with Lorelai's. "Oh." he said blankly. "Are you sure?"

"I'd feel bad for kicking you out of your own bed."

"I don't mind sleeping on the couch." He quickly added. "It's actually comfortable."

Lorelai giggled. "Come lay down beside your daughter."

Luke slowly walked over and sat down on the bed beside Rory and Lorelai. He kept his attention on the small girl between them. "She looks like an angel." he smiled.

"I could do this for hours." Lorelai said. "I love to watch her sleep."

Luke positioned himself more comfortable on the bed so as he could get a better look at Rory. "I wish I could have seen her and been with her when she was born."

"So do I." Lorelai replied sympathetically.

Luke allowed his hand to gently stroke his daughter's long brown hair. "I've only known her a few days, but I love her so much."

Soon, Luke, Lorelai, and were all engaged in deep relaxing sleep. Each of them feeling safe and secure by those around them.
