Dedications: This chapter is dedicated to my best friend back in Michigan, Steph. Love you girl!

A/N: Well thanks for such the sweet reviews. Not many people told me what their favorite chapter was or they're favorite title was so I ask ya'll again what they are. Anyways, for the people who did review thanks. Reviews help me out. With the whole do you want it to be a girl or a boy, the votes are in. A lot of people said twins. A few said boys, and the most goes to girls. I really wanted to do a boy, but well you'll see how it turns out. And for all of the people who hate that I had her pregnant again, I'm sorry. I didn't want to do it that way, but it just happened. Really sorry.


"We're having a boy!" Lorelai squealed as her and Luke walked out of the doctor's office. "We're going to have a little Luke Jr."

"No we're not going to have a Luke Jr." Luke said forcefully. "We will talk and agree on a name."

"Fine." Lorelai gave in. "I'm hungry."

"Really?" Luke said faking surprised.

"Yea, I want fudge cookies and...and...coca cola."

"Fudge cookies and coca cola?" Luke seemed disgusted. "My kid is going to be a freak."

"Well aren't you sweet." Lorelai said sarcastically.

"Come on. Let's go get you your fudge cookies and coca cola."


"So..." Lorelai asked as she turned on her side towards Luke.

"So..." Luke asked looking at the ceiling. They were laying in bed.

"Whatcha thinkin' about?"

"Nothing."

"You thinking about your beautiful fiancé who is laying next to you pregnant with your child?"

"Sure."

"What's wrong hon?" Lorelai asked running her hand through his hair.

"Just thinkin'"

"You mad at me?"

"No."

"You not ready to be a father?" Lorelai asked quietly as if everyone in town could here her.

"I guess I'm ready. I don't know." Luke sighed. "I just don't think I can be a good husband and father."

"I know you can be great at both." Lorelai lays her head on his chest. "The way you are with Rory. You buy her everything. You would do anything for her, and you love her like your own. And the whole being a good husband, I'm sure you'll be great."

"How do you know?"

"Do you love me?"

"Yea."

"Do you want to be with me forever?"

"Yea."

"Do you want us to have children together?"

"Yea."

"Would you do anything for me?"

"Yea."

"There you go." Lorelai replied. "You'll be a great husband."

"I hope so."

"We better get to sleep. You have to work tomorrow and I have to start 'summer school' with Mia."

"Night baby." Luke told her kissing her lips.

"Night." Lorelai said against his lips.

They got comfortable, ending up wrapped up in each other's arms, and fell asleep.


"Sorry I'm late Mia, I got sick this morning and Luke made me stay in bed until I convinced him that I was fine."

"It's okay." Mia pulls out the folder full of papers. "Let's get started."

"Okay." Lorelai sat down at Mia's desk and took a pencil. "What do I do first?"

"Let's start with Calculus."

"Oh great."


"Where have you been these last few nights?" William asked when Luke came into the hardware store.

"At Lorelai's."

"Why?"

"Because she's my fi...girlfriend, and we wanted to be together."

"You need to be home more Luke."

Luke rolls his eyes and walks around the counter.

After a few moments William speaks up. "You serious about this girl?"

"Yea. I really care for her."

"Do you love her?"

"Yes."

"Then ask her."

"Ask her?"

"To marry you."

Luke hugs his father.

"I love you dad."

"I love you too Lucas." William pulls his son from him and looks at him. "You can have your mother's engagement ring. It's upstairs in the desk drawer."

"I'll get it." Luke heads up the stairs. I already gave her a ring. What do I do? Get mom's ring then take it to Lorelai and tell her that this one is the one that I want her to have. Yea, that will work.


"Luke?" Lorelai asks when Luke comes inside the potting shed. "What is it?"

"I have something I want you to have."

"What is it?" Lorelai asks walking towards him with Rory in her arms.

"I want you to wear my mother's ring as your engagement ring."

"What about the other one?"

"I want you to keep it."

"What's up with this sudden change?"

"Dad told me to propose to you."

"He did?"

"Yep. And he wanted me to let you have my mom's engagement ring." Luke pulls it out. "Here." Luke takes off her ring then slips the other one on. "You like it?"

"It's breathtaking."

It was princess cut diamonds. One big diamond in the middle and a few more on each side. It had a white gold band.

"Well my dad saved up for that ring for years."

"It's beautiful."

"I'm glad you like it."

"I do."

"Daadddyyy." Rory gurgled pointing at Luke.

"Did she just call me..."

"Yea, she did." Lorelai handed Rory to Luke.

"Hey princess." Luke said kissing her on the head. "You're the sweetest."

"Daaadddyy." Rory said again. "Looooovvvveee uuuuuuuuu."

"I love you too princess."

I promise you guys, you'llWILL get what ya'll wanted. Also..the next chapter will skip some. Get ready for that. Keep reading and reviewing.
