Hey everyone, here is what is more than likely the penultimate chapter. It was going to be the last chapter, but I don't have time to finish writing it up so I thought it best to give you this and then try update again as soon as I can. My sincere apologies for the lack of updating on my stories. I will probably take a small break from posting chapters once this story is done and make sure I have enough content for the story in my head before I start writing it. A quick note just to apologize to anyone who might get offended by the way I spell some words. I know to Americans it may seem like I am spelling the words colour and favour wrong cause I put a u in it, but just to let you know, that is how the words are spelt in South Africa and in England where I was taught. If most of my readers were American then I would change the spelling out of respect but I have just as many European readers and readers from the rest of the world. Once again, I am sorry if it irritates any of you. Thanks for reading and lets get on with the chapter.

Previously:

Lorelai was cut off by Luke's quick movement as he placed his lips tightly against hers. After a few moments, Luke felt Lorelai relax and he pulled her body close to his. He lifted his lips off of hers and let her head fall onto his chest. They lay back together, neither saying anything and listened to the next few songs on the CD.


When they had finished listening to the CD, Luke got up slowly and placed the CD back in its case. Turning slowly, he watched Lorelai lying on the bed in deep thought. He continued to look around the room, the large comfortable bed, the mini bar and champagne tray. It was the room that Lorelai and Sookie had named their honeymoon suite when the Dragonfly Inn was first opened. This was the room where Luke and Lorelai were supposed to retreat to after their hectic and probably crazy wedding. It would have been the room for their first night as husband and wife. Luke wanted that chance back so badly, so he walked over to the bed, grabbed Lorelai's hand and pulled her up off the bed.

'Hey, what are you doing?' Lorelai screeched as Luke broke her from her thoughts.

'Its 4 am'

'I know, but I still don't understand what you are doing pulling me up off the bed like that' Lorelai states confused.

'Its June 3rd' Luke states

'Again, I know, but I'm still confused'

'Its bad luck for me to see my bride on our wedding day'

'We're not getting married Luke'

'Not today, because I don't think we can afford any more bad luck, but what do you say about marrying me tomorrow, the 4th of June?'

'Luke…'

'It's a simple yes or no question.'

'Simple?'

'Yes, simple. Will you marry me tomorrow Lorelai Gilmore?'

'Luke…'

'Lorelai. Yes or no'

'You're being stubborn.'

'I learnt from the best'

'Are you calling me the best?'

'No, I learnt all my tricks from Jess.'

'Oh is that so?' Lorelai asked hitting Luke in the chest. Luke caught her arm and pulled her closer.

'Of course you are the best, now will you answer my question?'

'Luke…'

'I know what my name is, I don't need reminding, but what I do need is for you to stop stalling and answer me.'

'I need the bathroom.'

'No you don't, you went earlier.'

'My bladder gets weak when I stress.'

'Lorelai…' Luke pleaded

'I know my name, but what I do need is for you to let me go past and into the bathroom.' Lorelai told Luke copying his earlier comment. She had a hint of a smile.

'Will you answer me then?'

'Yes?' Lorelai answered hesitantly.

'Lorelai?'

'Okay, I will answer your question when I come out.' Lorelai conceded

Luke slowly moved out of Lorelai's way and watched as she moved into the bathroom and shut the door. Luke took up residence on the arm chair by the window expecting only a few minute wait, but after 5 minutes of waiting Luke knew Lorelai had gone into the bathroom just to buy herself time. No wanting to let her get away with it, Luke got up and knocked on the door.

'Lorelai?' Luke asked quietly but when there was no answer, he asked a little louder.

'I will be out in a minute.'

'What are you doing, just come out. If your going to say no just come out and get it over with.' Luke stated getting a little upset.

'I was just thinking' Lorelai said quietly

'About?'

'About whether the reasons to say yes out way the reasons I broke off the engagement in the first place.'

'What are your thoughts so far?' Luke asked, wanting whatever information he could get.

Luke stood back as he heard the door opening. He could see that Lorelai had been crying.

'My thoughts are that I can't marry you tomorrow.'

'Oh' Luke says clearly disappointed.

'I chose my wedding date as the 3rd of June and if I am going to get married then it would have to be on that day. Now if you think today is bad luck then we could always wait till next year.' Lorelai told him, cocking her head to one side.

'You want to get married?' Luke asked in disbelief.

'I think that's what I was trying to say' Lorelai said with a huge grin on her face.

'Are you sure?'

'Do you really think this is the time to question my decision, cause if I was you I would just go with it.'

'Sorry… okay…. Well….' Luke stammered, not really sure what to say to her.

'Luke?' Lorelai interrupted.

'Yeah'

'Kiss me'

Luke immediately walked the 2 steps forward and kissed Lorelai passionately. Both gripped their arms tightly around one another as they continued to kiss. Once they broke apart, Lorelai rested her head in the crook of Luke's neck.

'Things will have to change though. You are going to have to let me in more.' Lorelai mumbled.

'And you are going to have to stop bottling things up and talk to me when something is bothering you.'

'Okay'

'Then the same goes for me.'

'What do you say we go back to sleep and then at a decent hour get Sookie to unlock the door and go get married somewhere?' Lorelai asked standing up straight.

'Sounds like a plan' Luke said leading Lorelai back over to the bed.

It didn't take long before they were comfortably spooning in bed. Lorelai was the first to fall asleep. As soon as Luke knew she was in a deep sleep, he got out of bed and picked up the phone. Not wanting to wake Lorelai, Luke walked into the bathroom and closed the door before dialling Sookie's number.

'Hello' Sookie answer groggily after a few rings

'Hey Sookie, its Luke. Sorry the call is so late. It took me longer than I expected, but its all a go. Lorelai and I are getting married today.' Luke whispered with a big smile on his face.

'Woohoo! Didn't I tell you this would work?' Sookie exclaimed, really excited for her friends.

'Yeah, thanks Sookie. Now go back to sleep and I guess I will see you later at the wedding.'

'Yeah, see you later Luke. I am so happy for you.'

'Me to Sookie. Me to. Bye'

'Bye'

Luke hung up the phone and joined Lorelai back in the bed. It wasn't long before he fell asleep too.
