Good Day: Chapter 2…

Father's Day

AN: SO thank you all who reviewed! I have been SOOOO busy! Im sorry I couldn't get it up sooner!

Father's Day: a day that Rory had never really experienced before. She had always had Mother's Day for her mom. They would go out for dinner and then come home and watch tons of movies, it was simple. Rory thought about many ideas about what to give Luke, but none of them seemed good enough. She turned to her mom, but she said that she hadn't experienced it before either; her dad was gone most of the time. Logan didn't have any advice either, his dad was never home to enjoy Father's day with. Rory glanced down at her engagement ring and smiled at what it meant. It meant that they would be together for ever, have kids together and grow old together. For years it was her mother's dream and now she had gotten it. Rory remembered when Luke proposed to her mom.

Flashback:

The three of them were walking around town on a cold December night. Luke and Lorelai were hand in hand and Rory was nursing a cup of coffee.

"Come on, follow me!" Luke said to the Gilmore Girls. He led them towards the gazebo and inside of it was a surprise. On the bench inside the gazebo, was a guitar. Luke picked it up and told Lorelai and Rory to sit on the bench and stay quiet. Luke cleared his throat and started strumming on the guitar and started to sing a song that was very special to Lorelai and himself. It was Bryan Adams' Everything I Do, I do, It for You. This was the song that was on the radio when Luke and Lorelai were at Snuffy's one night. Luke asked Lorelai to dance, so they waltzed to that song in the middle of the tavern.

Luke had an amazing voice, husky but deep and clear. He sang every word of that song, not taking his eyes off of Lorelai's face. She cried when he sang the last line of the song. He set down his guitar and got down on one knee and said it simply.

"Lorelai; for 8 years I have loved you, I couldn't stop loving you if I tried. Please marry me?"

Lorelai just nodded and as he slipped the ring onto her finger it started to snow. Luke rose to his feet and locked their lips in a passionate kiss. Rory got up and hugged her mom and Luke. When she hugged her mom, Lorelai whispered into her ear,

"I told you good things happen when it snows."

End Flashback

Rory was shaken out of her memory when Haley started to cry. She ran to the bassinet and scooped her sister up into her arms and rocked her gently. Rory looked at her sister's face intently. She looked so much like Luke; she had his face, shaped and defined. She had her mother's eyes and her mother's hair. That was about it! Haley's cerulean blue eyes looked upon her sister. She smiled at her and buried her face to her chest and drifted off to sleep. Rory decided not to put her back into her bed because she might awaken. Rory settled down onto the couch and smiled. Everything in her life was good. She had the sister that she always wanted, a fiancé whom she loved more then life, her mother who did nothing but love her and others, and her daddy; Christopher was never as much of a father to her as Luke was. He deserved the title Daddy. She decided what to give Luke.

Rory strapped Haley into her car seat in the back of her car and drove to the mall. When she arrived she got Haley out and put her in the stroller and went into the mall. She went to a store called Things Remembered and decided to browse around a little. Then she spotted it, exactly what she was looking for. Rory purchased the gift and started for home.

Later that Night

Luke was almost done with dinner and Logan had just arrived. Lorelai was getting dressed and Haley was sound asleep in her crib. Rory had finished the present before Luke and Lorelai got home from running errands.

"Hey Ace, how are ya?" Logan asked her.

"Well, Mr. Huntzberger, I am doing well on this fine evening!"

"That's wonderful soon to be Mrs. Huntzberger!" he deadpanned.

"Hey, you two dinner is ready." Luke called from the kitchen.

"We'll be right there Dad!" Rory called back to him. She took Logan's hand and led him to the kitchen.

After dinner all of them were finishing off their cheesecake and coffee when Rory said,

"Hey Dad, I have a present for you!" she said running into her room. "Here, open it!" she said enthusiastically.

Luke nodded and pealed off the paper and saw a picture frame which read:

"My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me."
Jim Valvano

Inside the frame was a picture of Rory and Luke at her Yale Graduation, She had just ran to him and he picked her up and hugged her, that's when Lorelai snapped the picture. Rory's back was to the camera, but Luke's face could be seen and he had the most genuine, proud, and happy smile on his face.

"Luke, you always did believe in me. You were always there for me, from when I had the chicken pox to when I graduated from college. You have already given this family such a big gift, you loved us. Thank you Daddy, and happy Father's Day." She told him.

He rose from his seat and hugged her and whispered in her ear,

"Thank you baby girl, I love you more then you know."
