Sorry this chapter took so long. I think it's somewhat shorter than the last two, but I guess that's a good thing? IDK, you tell me, lol. Thanks soooo much to everyone for the feedback, it really helps.

Severien - you were the only one who addressed the boyfriend issue, so I decided to use your suggestion of her just having broken up with him previously. He may come back, but I doubt it. My original plan was to have him watching the play and add some drama at the fact that his gf just married someone else... but who needs more drama? The story has enough of its own, don'tcha think! Lol, so yeah, thank you verrrry much for helping me with that :)

Moving on... If anyone can help me figure this website out, I'd be forever in your debt, cause the last chapter turned out all weird.. Like format-wise. Certain things didn't show up or spaces got weird and idk, it's so confusing. Advice would be hugely appreciated.

Anyway, thanks again, and please, please, please review. Even one word would be great, like "Good" or " Horrible" ... seriously, if it's bad, tell me. I'll spare you, I promise.

Without further ado :

Chapter Three : Will Daddy buy me a Pony?

Lorelai's head was pounding as she slowly opened her eyes. She didn't recognize the hazy surroundings at first, but quickly realized she was on Luke's bed. She rubbed her eyes as she tried to figure out how she ended up here. Glancing around quickly, she realized she was alone. She laid on her back and stared at the ceiling, trying to remember.

Oh my God. Did I get married? Was that a dream? How did I get in Luke's bed! Why am I wearing his clothes? I must still be dreaming...

A million questions ran through her head, none with answers. She tried to wake herself up, pinching her arm repeatedly, but to no avail. Quickly she sat up, and immediately felt dizzy.

Laying back down, she began to remember:

" So we just said I do... for real!" She had screamed, looking to Luke to fix this.

" I'm sorry, Lorelai... I didn't mean to..." Kirk started, but Lorelai wasn't listening. She began to feel lightheaded, her vision swirled, and suddenly her legs weren't supporting her. She began to fall as everything went black.

Just then, she heard the door behind her open and saw Luke storm in, he was pacing back and forth before he realized Lorelai was not only awake, but watching him. He immediately stopped and walked towards her; it felt like it took him ages to reach her. Finally, he reached his bed just as Lorelai sat up completely.

"What happened Luke?"

"I..We.. I don't know where to begin," he answered helplessly, collapsing next to her on the bed. She turned to look at him, realizing how defeated he looked.

"Are we?"

He looked at her and suddenly she didn't need his nod to know the answer.

"So.. Mr. and Mrs. Luke Danes, huh?" she unsuccessfully joked.

"So what now? We just get a divorce or what?" she asked. His silence was killing her. She was so confused and so overwhelmed; all she wanted was answers.

"Luke?"

" I don't know. Taylor called his lawyers just for some backround information. They'd never heard of anyone getting married 'accidentally' in a play. He asked every attorney in that damn office, and none of them knew the extent of it. If we divorce-"

"God, that sounds weird, doesn't it?" she asked, and he stopped.

"What?"

" If we divorce.. It sounds so weird."

" Yeah... I never thought I'd be divorcing you," he half laughed, which caught her by surprise. His tone wasn't one of shock or surprise though. She was concerned when she realized he sounded almost sad.

"Yeah... so.. Anyway," she awkwardly tried to ask again how they were going to deal with this, just as Sookie barged in.

"LORELAI! How are you? Are you okay? Let me just add, flannel works for you..." she blabbed, obviously not taking in the seriousness of the situation.

"Sookie!" Lorealai groaned; she knew what her friend was insinuating, and it was nothing like that.

" Right..Sorry. I just came to tell you that Taylor's calling more lawyers, almost everyone in the state, I think. He seems genuinely concerned.. He feels awful about this, you guys. Are you okay? Can you believe you got married like this? It's insane, the whole town is going crazy.."

" The whole town's ALREADY crazy!" Luke growled. He stood up again to start pacing and Sookie took his seat next to Lorelai on the bed.

" So what are you two going to do? Either way, this is gonna be one hell of a year, huh?"

" What do you mean?" Lorelai asked and Luke stopped, turning to look at them.

"Well, I mean.. The lawyers are all so stumped on this, they've never heard of anything like it. Kirk keeps insisting he meant to add in 'fake phrases' to make sure the marriage wouldn't turn out legal. But he swears he forgot, or Taylor messed him up. Something crazy that Taylor was infuriated over. Well, anyway, in Connecticut, for a newly married couple to divorce, you have to attend classes.. You know, marriage counseling and the works. To even be considered for an annulment you have to be married for at least a year, and have a justifiable reason for the marriage to be considered null and void, which actually would make sense, but isn't that horrible for situations like this? I mean, I don't think these situations happen too often, how many towns have a Kirk, after all, but still...you two have really gotten yourselves into something, huh?"

Neither answered, they just watched each others faces drain of any remaining color.

"Maybe I should leave you two alone, you know.. I'll see if there's anything else I can do to help. Everyone cleaned the square, the play was a HUGE success, but Taylor canceled all the remaining showings, obviously. Let me know if you two need anything.. Oh, and Lorelai. You might want to call Rory... share the news before someone else does..."

"Right, thanks Sookie, I'll call you later," she answered absentmindedly grabbing her phone.

Luke got himself a drink and put on a pot of coffee as she dialed.

"Talk fast, please!" She answered on the second ring.

" Rory?"

"Mom?"

" Hey kid, I have some news.."

" Okay, make it quick, I'm actually on my way out.. Are you okay?"

" Almost as good as J.Lo in Gigli."

"That bad? What happened?"

" Well.." she tried to find an easy way to tell her daughter she was just married, but nothing came to mind.

" Mommy got married!" she shouted joyously.

"Funny. Mom, I don't have much time, I'm seriously running late. What's going on?"

" No really, I got married," she said simply.

" Mom, I'm hanging up now..."

" What? No. Seriously, why's that so hard to believe? Your mother's young and desirable. Why isn't it believable that I'm married!" She questioned, genuinely wondering why she couldn't be seen as a married woman.

" It's not that, mom. It's just, I talked to you yesterday and you were still overjoyed over your recent breakup with James and your 'newfound singleness' as you put it . Now I highly doubt that in less than 24 hours you met a man, fell in love, and planned a wedding...or eloped. It's just not you... so I hope I helped you with your boredom for the time being. You can call me and tell me you had twins and inherited a 300 acre farm if you get bored again later, but I've gotta get going.."

"Rory! I got married to Luke!"

" Oh, I forgot! You can tell me about the play later. Yes, and the kiss! I'm sorry, it completely slipped my mind that it was today."

" No, kid, listen up. Luke and I got married. For real. Like by the state of Connecticut, we're legally wed. I have a husband. I'm a wife."

" What!"

" It's Kirk's fault."

" Mom, elaborate, and quick."

" Kirk was minister in the play and legally married me and Luke!"

" Are you serious!"

" No I'm making this all up to see if you'd approve of me and Luke getting together. Yes, I'm serious!"

She rolled her eyes dramatically at Luke, who was pouring her a cup of coffee and listening to her phone conversation; for the first time since those dreadful words he smiled.

"Alright, I'll call you back later tonight. I wanna hear all about this... are you guys divorced yet?"

" Oh no. That's the best part. We can't get divorced until we go to counseling! Or, if we want an annulment, we have to be married for an ENTIRE YEAR!"

" Seriously, did you check if anyone's taping you for a reality show? Cause it'd be less surprising than all of this... I don't know how I'm gonna get anything done at this meeting... And I'm already late, I've really gotta go mom, talk to you tonight."

" Bye babe!"

"Tell Luke, HI DADDY, for me!"

" Not funny."

" Maybe not from your point of view... can you try and talk him into buying me a pony?"

" I'm hanging up on you, evil child."

" Bye!"

She threw her phone aside and sighed as Luke handed her a cup of coffee. She thanked him and followed him back to the dining room table, sitting down across from him.

"So..."

"She wants a pony from her new stepdaddy."

Luke openly laughed at her statement, a deep hearty laugh and though she was mentally and physically exhausted, Lorelai couldn't help but feel lightened at the sound of his laugh. Her eyes met his sparkling ones and she felt butterflies rise in her stomach. How weird. She thought, but ignored it.

As Luke's laugh died down, she asked in a quiet voice, " What are we going to do, Luke?"

Her voice sent chills down his spine and his laughter ceased completely. He rubbed the back of his neck and momentarily shut his eyes, thinking.

" I don't know. Maybe we should get you home.. Sleep on things, and we'll figure it all out in the morning."

She nodded, but as she went to stand, she realized she wasn't up for the trek home.

" Luke could I-?" she stopped, feeling almost embarrassed to ask him if she could spend the night.

" Yeah, of course..." he helped her into bed and settled onto the couch himself.

"Thanks," she whispered as she got comfortable, and he turned out the lights.

"Well, you know.. Anything for my wife," he joked, and she smiled in the dark.

They laid in silence for awhile; Lorelai couldn't sleep at all. She felt so guilty.

" Luke?"

" Yeah?"

" I'm sorry."

" For what?"

" It's all my fault. This whole thing."

"You told Kirk to legally marry us?"

" Noo," she giggled, " that still sounds so weird to me. I mean I'm sorry for roping you into this play. If I hadn't convinced you to be in it, we wouldn't be in this position."

" Yeah well... you might still be in this position, just not with me."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"At least now you get free coffee."

" Really! Free coffee? Rory too?"

" Of course."

"Well then, maybe I'm not sorry. If marrying you means free coffee, I'm glad I talked you into it," his stomach dropped at hearing that, even if she was joking. " I mean, especially compared to my other prospects," she laughed.

"We'll work it all out, Lorelai," he said sincerely, and she believed him.

"I know.. But until then, I'm Mrs. Backwards baseball cap," she smiled at the idea, and fell asleep, leaving Luke wide awake to think about that.
