Fate, Or Something Like It

Section 3: Secrets Unraveled

Chapter 24

A House Is So Much More Than A Home

Disclaimer: Cute stuff. No Gilmore Girls is not mine. If it was Lorelai would be pregnant and they would be married.

A/N: Life is Great! I never expected to have 23 chapters written. I love it. And I thank all of the reviewers who have been with me through it all! Love you guys!


4 days later

Lorelai was finally able to go home with her babies. Luke had tried to stay at the hospital as much as he could, but he had to take care of Rory.

Over the 4 days Rory had asked for her mom so much.


Knock...knock...

"It's sounds as if mommy's home." Luke said walking to the door with Rory walking slowly in front of him.

"Mommy."

Luke pulled the door open to reveal a tired yet happy looking Lorelai.

"I heard you missed me baby." Lorelai said bending down and picking Rory up.

"Mommy...I miss you."

"I missed you too." Lorelai said kissing Rory's head. "You want to see your little brother and sister?"

"Yea!" Rory smiled.

"Here comes the twins." Mia said as she brought the twins inside, they were laying in their carriers. "They just woke up."

Luke looked down at the two babies and saw how much they favored him. When they looked up at him they had the bluest blue eyes and their hair was dark brown. They had his nose and ears. He would have never expected to have two little people that looked that much like him. He was overjoyed.

"See Rory." Lorelai brought Rory over to the twins. "This is your little sister Amelia, and this is your little brother Will."

"Melia and Will." Rory laughed.

"Amelia is named after Aunty Mia, and Will is named after Grandpa Willy."

"Aunty Mia and Grandpa Willy." Rory repeated.

"Yea." Lorelai said watching Rory get on her knees and bend down to the babies. She watched her kiss each of them on the head.

"So Rory..." Lorelai said. "You want to ride with daddy to go see Grandpa Willy?"

"Can you come too mommy?" Rory asks looking up with those Gilmore Eyes.

"Well I was going to get your brother and sister down for a nap and then take a nap myself."

"But I want to be with you." Rory said.

"Then if you want to you can stay here with me and Aunty Mia."

"I want to..." Rory scratches her curly brown haired head. "go with daddy."

"Okay let's go princess." Luke says picking Rory up. "Bye hon." Luke kisses Lorelai on the lips and walks out with Rory.

"Lorelai, you go lay down and I'll put the babies in bed." Mia says starting to bend down to the twins.

"No, I can do it." Lorelai replies.

"Listen, if your going to stay here, I want to help you with the twins as much as I can."

"That's nice of you Mia.."

"Well it's the least I can do when Luk..." Mia stops noticing that she went to far.

"Luke what?"

"Nothing." Mia says picking up Will and laying him down in Rory's crib.

"It must be something."

"No it's nothing." Mia goes back to Amelia and picks her up.

"Whatever." Lorelai walks over to the single sized bed and lays down, making a mental note to ask Luke later what Mia meant.


"Dad!" Luke yells when he goes inside his house. "It's me and Rory."

"Rory?" Will asks walking out of the living room with a newspaper in his hands.

"Grandpa!" Rory yells running into his arms.

"Hey cookie." William says kissing Rory on the cheek then setting her back down. "There's a surprise for you in the kitchen."

"A surprise?" Rory asks excited.

"Yea. Go look on the table."

Rory runs off towards the kitchen.

"So how's Lorelai?"

"Tired." Luke says.

"Tell her I sa..." William was cut off by Rory.

"Cookies!" Rory yelled from the kitchen.

"Said that she will feel better in a few days."

"I will." Luke pauses. "Thanks for letting us move in together."

"You guys are engaged and have kids." William pats Luke's shoulder. "When is the house going to be through?"

"I was going to call Tom and find out." Luke pauses. "Last week I talked to him and he said that it would be done by Saturday. It's Friday. So I'll call him to see if I can bring her there tomorrow."

"Go on and use the phone. I'll go check in on Rory."

"Thanks." Luke walks over to the phone. He dials Tom.

"Hello?" Tom answers.

"Hey Tom. It's Luke."

"Hello Luke." Tom replies. "Whatcha need?"

"Could I bring Lorelai by the house tomorrow?"

"Yea, we wrapped up work yesterday and I had men placing furniture in today. We should be done by tomorrow morning."

"Good. I'll bring her by around lunch. Make sure everyone is out of there."

"I will."


"Come on Lorelai." Luke lead her out of the truck and towards the house. "Keep your eyes closed."

"What are you doing Luke?" Lorelai asked giggling.

"I want to show you something." Luke rubs his hands down her arms. "It's been a surprise I have kept hidden for a little over 9 months."

"Before I was pregnant?"

"Yea." Luke takes a deep breath. "Open your eyes."

Lorelai opens her eyes to find a two story blue house with a wrap around porch sitting in front of her.

"What is this?" Lorelai asks clearly baffled.

"Your...Our house."

"What?" Lorelai asks looking at Luke.

"I bought this piece of land when I first found out you were pregnant. I had my eye on it when I thought I was going to propose."

"Oh Luke." Lorelai enveloped him in a hug and a loving kiss. "You are a wonderful man."

"You want to go inside and see the rest of it?"

"Sure."


"Here is the master bedroom." Luke stepped inside the room. "How do you like it?"

"It's absolutely beautiful." Lorelai runs her hand along the bed. "How did you afford this?"

"I just did." Luke answered.

"Did you pay for all of this, by yourself?"

"Yes, I wanted to do something nice for you."

"Well, you shouldn't have bought me a house." Lorelai said turning to Luke.

"I wanted to buy it for us." Luke said. "Did you see the bathroom?" Luke asked as he pulled open a pair of double doors.

Lorelai walked into the bathroom. "Oh my God!"


"Now the last room I want to show you is the nursery." Luke said standing in front of a door that had 'Nursery' on it.

"For the twins?" Lorelai asked.

"For the twins and for Rory."

"They don't have to share a room."

"They wont." Luke opened the door and let Lorelai walk in. He followed her.

The room was perfect. In the middle of the wall there was a window and on each side there was a crib that looked hand made. The rest of the room had a dresser and a changing station. A rocking chair sat in the corner.

"Oh my. Luke, it's beautiful." Lorelai said looking around her. "Why did you say and Rory too?"

"I had them build a door between the nursery and Rory's room." Luke walked over to the door and opened it. "See, here's Rory's room."

Lorelai walked in and smiled.

"Rory's going to love it."

Inside the room was a purple bed cover. The walls were purple with pink stripes. And stuffed dogs littered the room.

"She's going to go crazy when she see's all of these dogs."

"I thought she would like it."

"She definitely will." Lorelai turned to Luke and smiled. "So, when can we move in?"

"As soon as you want to." Luke said putting hands on her shoulders. "All we have to do is bring the kids and all of our clothes and we will be moved in."

"Thank you Luke." Lorelai said placing her head against his chest. "You have been so good to me."

"I have haven't I?"

"Don't get cocky mister."


A/N: Some of you didn't like the names or that they were having twins. Sorry. I wanted to use Lucas, but then I thought that had been done too much, so I used William. Yes that one has been done a lot, but they will be calling him Rich or Will. Sorry. Also many of you hate the name Amelia. I think it's cute and I wanted to name the girl after Mia. Anyways, you guys are still great and keep reading and reviewing. Also I heard rumors about that Lorelai was going to sleep with Christopher in the show. If any of ya'll know what that's about let me know and tell me where you found the info. Like what website. Thanks.
