"Amelia. Why?"
"I was thinking that we could name the baby after your mom. If that's ok with you," she says, not knowing where he stood on the subject.
"What about a middle name?"
"Amelia…Danielle?" What do you think of that?" Lorelai asks.
"Amelia Danielle Gilmore-Danes? Isn't that an awful lot for a little kid to deal with?"
"No, because her name will be Amelia Danielle Danes. This little girl is all Danes," Lorelai corrects him. 'I just wish that Rory was.'
A couple hours later, Lorelai was released from the hospital. The doctor wanted her to stay in bed for a couple days, and come back in a week for a check up. Now that the baby had a name, things seemed much more real. Lorelai was now fully prepared to raise her daughters, Rory and Amelia. Only now, she would have one thing she didn't have when she moved to Stars Hollow: she'll have Luke.
As Lorelai lays in bed, she watches Rory and Luke play with some toys on the floor. It amazes her that she had created such a perfect little person. She still can't believe that two years ago she became a mother. The moment Rory was placed in her arms, was the moment that she knew she couldn't live with out this little person she had carried inside of her for nine months and twenty-six hours.
Since they settled on the name Amelia, Lorelai wanted to make things fair. Rory has a nickname, so should Amelia. Luke said that they could call her Amy, but Lorelai didn't like what that name was associated with. When she was in school she and an Amy didn't get along, they were at each other's throats for a good part of their sophomore year. She got rid of that problem by getting pregnant and dropping out.
"How about Lia?" Lorelai asks, sitting up in bed.
"Lia Danes. It has a nice ring to it. Amelia 'Lia' Danes, it is," Luke says, smiling at Lorelai.
She smiles back and says, "Hey, did you know that Lia's initials spell 'add'?"
"Jeez, the things that you think of sometimes," he says, amused.
"Well, that's what happens when you lay in bed bored! At least you and Rory get to have fun. Me, I'm stuck in bed like Grandpa Joe, Grandma Josephine, Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina," she jokes.
Luke looks confused, "Like who?"
Her mouth falls open in shock, "Are you serious?"
"Yes. Are they your grandparents or something?"
"No. They are Charlie's grandparents in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," she explains.
"Oh," he says, nodding his head. "That's a movie, right?"
"No, it's a play," she says, "Of course it's a movie. I'm gonna marry an Oompa Loompa one day," she says
"Not if I get my way," Luke tells her, making his way over to the bed, and sits beside her.
"Aw, is Lukey playing protective, jealous fiancé?" she coos at him, taking his hand.
"Yes I am, and don't call me Lukey," he tells her, giving her a stern look.
"Sorry," she says, and pulls him to her for a sweet, yet passionate kiss.
When they pull back, Luke smiles and looks at Rory, and can't help but notice she is Lorelai's mini-me. Same dark brown hair, though, Rory's is straight when dry, curly when wet. Same magnetic ice blue eyes, like an angels. All he can think about is how much he loves both Lorelai and Rory. Before he can stop himself, he hears him say, "I want to adopt Rory."
"What?" Lorelai asks, shocked at what he just said.
"I want to adopt Rory. I love her like she were my own, and when we get married, everyone will be a Danes, but her. That's not fair. And…I mean, look at her. Who wouldn't want her to be theirs?"
"Her father apparently. He hasn't seen her since the day she was born. I don't know where he his and I don't care. I've got Rory and you and Lia. I'm set for life. But, Luke, are you sure that you want to adopt her? I mean, she won't call you Luke, she'd call you dad."
"I'm well aware of that, and I'm sure. I want Rory to be my daughter. I don't care if it's not by blood. She is already like a daughter to me. I want it to be official," he says, walking over to Rory, picking her up and kisses her forehead. He makes his way back over to Lorelai and places Rory between them. "What do you say?"
"I say," she looks at Rory and says, "You are going to officially be a Danes."
"Mama, Luke Dada?" Rory asks.
"Yes, Luke is your daddy," Lorelai says, with happy tears in her eyes. Glad to see that Rory wants this too.
"Yay," Rory says, hugging Luke's arm.
ok, so, here is an update...i was going to add a little twist and have Rory turn out to be Luke's kid...but...i'm really not up to that...mostly because, lorelai isnt one to sleep around...until recently...damn ASP!
