"Well I've had a fabulous time darling, absolutely fabulous" Lorelai smiled.

"I'm glad, although I think it's impossible to have an uneventful stay in Stars Hollow"

"True, true, please don't forget to remind that Kirk fellow how appreciative I was when he offered his services to me"

"Aren't we all" Lorelai replied dryly, causing Hope to burst into hysterics.

"That's the last of them" Luke gave himself a chance to breathe. He had just carried all Hope's heavy bags out of Rory's room and into the waiting taxi. Lorelai patted his shoulder and gave him a grateful look.

"Well I must be going, I'm a busy woman after all, I'll tell Rory you said hi when I arrive in New York."

"Good, tell her I love her"

"Will do darling" Lorelai and Hope embraced tightly, then pulled back so Hope could kiss Lorelai on each cheek. They broke apart and Hope walked over to Luke. She held out her hand. They shook hands.

"It was definitely a pleasure to meet you," She growled, giving him another saucy wink. Lorelai laughed quietly when she heard him mumble under his breathe about Hope not leaving soon enough. Hope spun round dramatically, letting her long scarf spin round after her.

"Just think about what I said darling, before it's too late!" She blew Luke and Lorelai a kiss each and then fell into the back of the taxi. Lorelai waved until the taxi was out of sight and then folded her arms against her chest. Luke walked up to her and put his arms around her waist.

"What was she just talking about?" He asked her.

"Huh?" Lorelai wasn't paying much attention.

"Just then, something you too talked about, about not waiting till it's too late?"

"She suggested we tell my parents everything"

"Ah"

"Yes"

"Do you?"

"Do I what?"

"Want to tell them?"

"I don't know, you?"

"It's up to you"

"I hate it when it's up to me" Lorelai grumbled. She let him lead her back into the warm house.

"Why don't you offer them an ultimatum?"

"a what?"

"An ultimatum"

"Like give me the money or you die?"

"Maybe not so dramatic"

"Well what were you thinking?"

"Just go over to the house and tell them everything and that if they don't like it then they should stay far far away"

"Mmmm far far away sounds good" Luke laughed.

"They're supposed to choose not you!"

"So when should I do this?"

"You're actually going through with it?" Lorelai nodded seriously. "You want me to go with you?" Lorelai shook her head.

"I'll be in an out of there faster than one of their maids"

"Well we're going into Hartford next week for the check up, why don't I drop you off afterwards. I'll even wait in the car for you"

"Ah, I new there was a reason I married you"

"Hey!" Luke protested. Lorelai gave him a quick kiss to calm down.

"Next week then"

"Plenty of time to prepare yourself"

"I'll need it" Luke pulled her closer.

"Come on, I'll make you some lunch" Lorelai's eyes lit up at the thought of food and Luke rolled his eyes at her.
