Epilogue

Nine months and forty-eight hours later, there was a new addition to the Danes' family. Brittany Rene Danes was born on December 31, 2006 at 11:30 a.m. along with her identical twin, Ashley Anne, two minutes after.

Their big sister Rory was waiting patiently in the waiting room when her step-father came out and said, "They're identical girls, Brittany Rene and Ashley Anne."

Rory smile happily and says, "Congratulations Luke."

He says, "Thank you. You want to see your mom?"

Rory smiles and says, "Of course."


The last time they were in this hospital was under less than happy circumstances. They tried to put the past behind them, but that day is forever locked in their memory, the day that Luke and Rory almost lost the most important woman in their life. As they make their way down the hall way, Lorelai is being transferred to her room.

"Hi mom," Rory says, walking into her mothers hospital room and over to the bed.

Lorelai turns to greet her oldest daughter, "Hi honey. Did Luke tell you that you have sisters?"

"Yes he did. I can't wait to see them," She answers, leaning down to kiss her mom on the cheek.

A nurse walks in, pushing two bassinets, and says, "Well, you don't have to wait any longer; the babies have entered the room."

Everyone turns their attention to the new arrivals. The nurse takes out Brittany and hands her to Luke, she then takes Ashley out and hands her to Lorelai.

"Mrs. Danes, do you remember how to breast feed?" the nurse asks.

"Yeah, I do," Lorelai answers, positioning Ashley in her arms for her first feeding.

"Alright, just press the button if you need anything," the nurse says, then turns and leaves the new family.

"Mom, can I hold Brittany?" Rory asks.

"Hon, you don't have to ask, she's your sister, just don't drop her." Lorelai warns.

She takes Brittany from Luke and says, "Thanks, no pressure."

Luke walks over to his wife and daughter. The happy couple shares a kiss, and he says, "You've made me the happiest man on the planet Lorelai. This is the second best day of my life."

She smiles at him and says, "What was the best day?"

He looks her in the eye and answers honestly, "The day I met you."

She pulls him in for a kiss and looks down at her youngest daughter, then up at her two oldest and sees Rory sitting down, whispering to her baby sister.


"…and on mommy and daddy's first date, mommy found out that daddy had saved a piece of paper she had given him eight years before. See, our parents have loved each other for a long time, but it took them a while to open their eyes. Brittany, you're really lucky because you can call Luke daddy all the time and not worry about hurting anyone in the process. When you're older, people are gonna tell you things that aren't true, I just want you to remember that no matter what they say, you and me and Ashley and mommy and daddy are a family, blood related or not." Rory whispers to her new born sister.

"Hey, you with the baby, lets switch, Ash is done, and now Brit needs to eat." Her mom tells her.

Rory stands up, walks over to her mom, and takes her youngest sister, retreats to her corner, and tells the tale of Luke and Lorelai.


Lorelai looks at the baby in her arms, and her other two babies having a sister-sister talk, and says to Luke, "This moment, right here, is perfect, and I wouldn't change it for anything."

"Neither would I." Luke says, and kisses his wife, and bends down to kiss his daughter on the head, and looks to his other daughters and smiles.

From the moment he got the call his mind was racing. 'What if I don't make it to the hospital in time to see my babies enter the world? Thank God for Rory, thank God they were together when Lorelai went in to labor.'
