This one is a lot lighter than the last two. I hope you also like it.

But I have to tell you that I have huge problems updating, because I can´t upload anymore chapters.It always tells me that there is no content in the document, so I had to use a little trick. I hope they will fix this very fast, because it´s annoying!

Chapter 19: Harvard, Yale and Princeton

"Hey Will. Now that we two are alone, tell me what daddy is singing with you when he brings you to bed?" Lorelai asked William who was sprawled over Luke´s side of the bed now.

"Daddy doesn´t sing!" William answered.

"That´s what your daddy told you to say, but I know he sings. I heard it!"

"No, not true!" William insisted.

"Traitor!" Lorelai smiled and tickled him again.

"You know what, we will sing until daddy comes back, okay? What songs do you know?"

"I know the istsy bitsy spider and brother John."

"Wow, where do you know these songs from? They are great!" Lorelai smiled.

"Brother John Rory taught me and the itsy bitsy spider I know from ... I´m not allowed to tell you!"

"Aha!" Lorelai exclaimed.

"So daddy sings songs about spiders with you!" she laughed.

"He told you?" William asked surprised.

"So, here we are. Dry and in a good mood again." Luke said when he entered the room with Laila on his arm and Sara walking beside him.

"Were you crying princess?" Lorelai asked Laila, who still had puffy eyes. The girl nodded and then hid her face in her fathers shoulder.

"Maybe Will can sing for you? Huh, Will? What about the spider-song?" Lorelai grinned.

"William!" Luke said shocked.

"I didn´t tell her!" William defended himself.

"He did not tell me!" Lorelai said but grinned wickedly.

"You should be ashamed of yourself!" Luke said to Lorelai.

"Why? I didn´t do anything dirty!" Lorelai asked him in a girly voice.

"Ah, geez! Stop talking like that in front of the kids!" Luke rolled his eyes and sat Laila down on the bed, then Sara, before he joined them.

"You decided on a movie?" he asked.

"Noooo" Lorelai said.

"You were too busy tricking our son in telling you that you forgot about the movie?"

"No, I just thought we could sing!"

"I will not sing!" Luke replied grumpily

"But the itsy bitsy spider Luke..."

"I will not sing!"he stated gain.

"I sing, mummy!" Sara said and started.

"The itsy bitsy spider
Crawled up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider
Crawled up the spout again" Lorelai had to laugh. Although the text was pretty much right, the melody sounded strange and Sara was so cute singing that song.

"Oh my god! Luke we have a singer in the house! A huge mega-star!" she said and then hugged Sara and kissed her.

"Mummy I can sing too!" William said immediately.

"Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing
Ding Ding Dong, Ding Ding Dong.

Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,
Dormez vous? Dormez vous?
Sonnez le matin, Sonnez le matin
Din Din Don, Din Din Don"

"Since when are you speaking French my son?" Lorelai asked him with huge eyes.

"Rory taught me!" he told her again.

"Rory, aha. I have to talk with her. I mean, she teaches you so many things that in no time I won´t be able to understand what you are talking about!" she said to William and messed up his combed brown hair with her hand.

"Seriously Luke. We have smart kids. Can you believe that? We have to think of the College we will send them to! If they are staying that smart they can just skip the first classes and can go to College when they are 12 or something." she rambled.

"I wanna go to Yale!" William yelled excitedly.

"Me too!" Sara joined him.

"I go Harvard!" Laila said, just as exited.

"That´s my girl!" Lorelai laughed and kissed her on the nose, while Luke rolled his eyes once again.

"Don´t you think it´s a little early to decide that."

"No, Rory knew that she wanted to go to Harvard when she was a year old. I think it was one of her first words!"

"Right. And where is she now? In Yale!" Luke stated with raised eyebrows.

"Oh shush you! You just jinx it! By the way, for which College did you have a scholarship?"

"How is that a "by the way"?" He asked

"In my crazy mind it is. I´m sure you don´t wanna know. So?" she pressed. Luke sighed.

"Princeton"

"What?" Lorelai yelled and sat up.

"Princeton" he said again, very calmly.

"You had a scholarship for Princeton? You? Mr.-I-hated-school-so-much-I-don´t-even-wanna-go-into-the-building had a scholarship for Princeton?"

"Yes" he just said.

"He had a scholarship for Princeton" Lorelai said to herself, still not quiet believing it.

"Yes, I had a scholarship for Princeton. Can we drop this subject now? Didn´t you say something about a film?"

"Laila my angel can you believe that? Your old daddy had a scholarship for Princeton? Cool huh? Such a smart daddy you have!" Lorelai said to Laila who was lying on top of her father again.

"Old daddy!" the girl laughed and looked at Luke.

"What you are calling me old? You? Oh, wait princess. No old daddy!" Luke laughed and lifted her up over his head while she struggled and laughed. She started squeaking and and her curls fell into her face. Luke slowly let her down and kissed her forehead before he placed her on his chest again.

"Hey Luke! What do you want to do for your birthday this year?" Lorelai asked still grinning.

"Uhm, let me think about it...Nothing!" he said.

"Oh, come on! You are telling me this every year! Think of something else!"

"There might be a reason I´m telling you this every year. Maybe it is because I don´t wanna do anything. And just to remind you: You ignored my wish every year since we are married, so it doesn´t matter anyhow what I tell you!"

"Nobody wants to do nothing on his birthday! That´s not what the day is for! What do you think kids, will we throw your daddy a huge birthday party?" she asked and grinned at her children, Luke just groaned.

"Yeah!" Sara yelled and started to jump on the bed.

"Party mummy! Party!" Laila was just as exited.

"Noooo!" William groaned just like Luke.

"Why don´t you wanna throw your daddy a party?" Lorelai asked William with raised eyebrows.

"´Cause all the crazy people will come and it´s loud and they make a mess and I can´t sleep because when I dream there are Miss Patty and Babette and before the party daddy will yell, because of your ideas, mummy!" William told her with a duh-expression.

"You are already such a big old grump like your father, it´s unbelievable! Unbelievable!" Lorelai said and placed her forehead against his, to look him into the eyes.

"Old grump"Sara giggled and looked at Luke.

"Oh, wait!" Luke said and leaned up to grab her, but she threw herself still giggling into her mothers arms.

"We will just celebrate your birthday without you and your grumpy son!" Lorelai looked at Luke with a wicked smile.

"Do that. Me and William will drive to the cabin and spend a nice, calm weekend there in the meantime!" he grinned back with the same expression.

"Me,too daddy!" Sara yelled immediately.

"Good idea. We will just go all! We haven´t been there since these two were crawling and tried to eat the wood and the leaves" Lorelai liked the idea a lot.

"And over is the calm week-end!" Luke stated and William sighed.

After another twenty minutes of fooling around with the kids they watched the movie, "Pocahontas" this time. During the movie the kids fell asleep around the time they in general had their nap. Lorelai lay them all down on her side and moved over to Luke, with every sleeping child a bit until she could lay her head on his chest.

"Luke?" she asked him.

"Lorelai?" he asked back.

"You wanna spend your birthday not just with Will but also with the girls and me, right?"

Luke looked at her, a smile slowly appearing on his face. Then he leaned down and kissed her. Before the kiss could deepen though, he pulled back.

"You bet!" he said and stroked with his hand through her hair until Lorelai hit him with a pillow in his face.

"Don´t scare your daughters and me like that!" she grinned and then snuggled back into his embrace.
