A/N: Here's another chapter for your pleasure.
Friday Morning 4:47 A.M.
Luke's internal alarm clock went off a little later then usual. He woke up at 4:50. He scooted closer to Lorelai and kissed her neck. He got up, went to the bathroom and turned the water on in the shower. He stripped from his clothes, and slipped into the shower and let the warm water flow over his body. He took the shampoo and scrubbed it into his hair. He rinsed it out and as he did so he heard the bathroom door open. He wiped the glass and squinted to see who it was.
"Lorelai?"
"It's me. Sorry for barging in."
"It's fine."
"I'm going to pop some pop tarts into the toaster. What kind do you want?"
"I don't eat pop tarts. They'll kill you."
"Yea, I know."
"Just pour me some orange juice."
"Okay."
Lorelai left Luke to take a shower.
"I just squeezed it." Lorelai joked motioning to the orange juice when Luke walked into the kitchen with a towel around his neck.
"Well aren't you just a little go getter."
"I believe I am."
"Did you make breakfast?"
"Oh yes I sure did, right after I milked the cows and fed the chickens."
Luke laughed.
"So I guess I'm making breakfast."
"Ding ding ding, we have ourselves a winner." Lorelai imitated a game show host.
"What do you feel like? Eggs, toast, waffles?" Luke asked as he dug through the cabinet.
"All please." Lorelai said as she left the kitchen and trudged upstairs.
"Rory." Lorelai called when she pulled open the door to her eldest daughter's room. "It's time to wake up. You have enough time to watch The Flintstones before breakfast, if you hurry."
Rory just mumbled and turned over pulling the blanket over her head.
"Come on baby, get up." Lorelai shook her daughter.
"Fine!" Rory said as she got out of bed and headed to the stairs.
"Come back here Rory." Lorelai yelled after her. "I want to talk to you."
Rory stopped and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Why may I ask are you being a little miss sass?"
"'Cause."
"'Cause why?"
"'Cause, your being a meany head."
"I am not Lorelai Leigh Gilmore!" Lorelai responded.
"My name is Danes, not Gil...Gilmore." Rory said.
"That's what I meant." Lorelai picked up Rory and went over to the TV room. She sat her on the couch and turned it on cartoons, then went back downstairs.
"I called her Gilmore." Lorelai said plopping onto a stool.
"Who?" Luke asked flipping an egg.
"Rory. I called her Rory Gilmore."
"Why did you do that?"
"Because...I don't know."
"Well don't get so worked up about it. She'll probably forget."
"No she wont, she'll hold it over my head for the rest of my existence."
"Lorelai don't be hard on yourself, it was an accident. She'll forget and think you were mistaken. She wont ask questions, and if, and I mean if she does, then we'll tell her the whole truth. Nothing left out."
"Okay." Lorelai said unsure. "How much longer until breakfast is ready?"
"10 minutes."
Lorelai, Luke, Rory, and the twins sat around the table eating breakfast in silence, the only noise heard was the clink of the forks hitting the plates, or squeal of the twins.
Being fed up with the silence Lorelai spoke.
"So Rory, are you excited to see Grandpa Willy?"
"I saw him yesterday."
"I know, but you always liked being around him."
"Yea, I guess so."
Silence spread through the room again.
Luke looked from Lorelai to Rory then to the twins, he turned back to Lorelai.
"Are you going to stop by the store later?" Luke asked.
"We could." Lorelai took a bite of her jelled toast. "We're going to drive to New Haven and go shopping."
"Who all?"
"Me, Sookie, and Rory."
"You want me to keep the twins?" Luke asked already knowing the answer.
"If you could."
"Why not? Dad doesn't see them enough."
"Good." Lorelai took another bite of toast.
"Good."
"So where to first?" Sookie asked as they entered New Haven.
"Maple street." Lorelai replied.
"What's on Maple street?"
"Liz Danes."
"I brought somebody to see you." Luke said walking into the hardware store with Will and Mia in their carriers.
"Looky who it is." William said taking Mia from Luke. "It's monster and cupcake."
"Why monster and cupcake?"
"They look like a little monster and cupcake."
"If you say so." Luke walked around the counter into the back and pulled a beer from the freezer.
"Get a coke."
"Why?"
"'Cause I'm your father and I don't want you drinking around the babies."
Luke mumbled under his breath.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing at all."
"What are you doing here?" Liz asked carrying a year old baby in her arms.
"Is that your baby?" Lorelai asked.
"Yes, now what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to talk to you."
Liz moved out of the way and let Lorelai come inside.
"What did you want to talk about?"
"You coming back to Stars Hollow." Lorelai glanced at her surroundings. "Where's Jimmy?"
"He left." Liz replied. "When Jess here was born, he left."
"I'm sorry Liz."
"It's fine."
"That's a whole other reason to why you should come back."
"I don't know."
"Liz, Luke and I are engaged and we have twins."
"My god..."
"Yea, I know." Lorelai took a seat. "We want you and Jess to be apart of our family." Lorelai pauses. "I want you to help me plan the wedding."
Luke was writing on a tablet when the bell rung another arrival.
"Hold on a second and I'll be with you in a moment."
"Hey Luke."
"Anna?" Luke looked up to see the black haired girl with a brown headed baby in her arms.
"I wanted you to meet your daughter." Anna said taking the baby closer to Luke.
"It's not my baby."
"It sure is."
"You're wrong."
"No I'm not." Anna said. " I had this baby a year ago."
"A year ago, I wasn't dating you."
"No, but 1 year and 9 months you were."
"Get out!" Luke yelled.
"Have it your way. I just wanted you to meet your daughter."
