A/N: Alright you guys, I have an announcement to make, since school for me has been out for almost a week now and ASP has officially made this the longest summer of my life, this almost seventeen year old senior has gotten a job to pass the time. Can you believe it a job! So for future reference I am now working five days a week from nine to three (don't laugh, at least it pays) so my small (he he) updates will not be as frequent as they have been. Just thought that I would let y'all know. Oh, and a special shout out goes to robinpoppins who has officially named this story! Thank you.

Disclaimer: I don't know why we even bother to type these things, isn't it obvious that I don't own them? Huh, huh, bunch of dumb asses.

Lorelai found herself wondering most of the day what Luke had gotten her. No, no, what Luke had gotten for she and Max. 'Why can't I get used to that?' She chided herself, completely ignoring the papers sitting before her and staring out at nothing in particular. 'It's big and wooden.' Lorelai giggled at his choice of words but pondered as to exactly what the gift was. Luke could be mysterious when he chose to be and Lorelai wasn't having any fun not knowing what to expect tonight. 'Ewww, Max!' She suddenly remembered. 'What excuse can I give him for bailing early? What if he wants to come back to the Crap Shack with me? What if he asks me to stay the night?' She shot down the ladder idea instantly, he knew that there was Rory to consider, but if he'd spent the night last night, what was to stop him tonight. 'You could just tell him the truth.' A voice called to her. 'Yeah right.' She snorted. "I'll just tell him that the man whom he got jealous of and proposed to because of is planning to come over to my house, after our date, to drop off our wedding gift." She said aloud. "Like that's going to work."

"What's going to work and who's coming over?" Came a voice from the doorway and Lorelai cursed herself instantly for not closing the door. She quickly stole a glance at the clock. 4:30. 'Damn.' She scolded herself. 'You should've been watching the clock!' Lorelai's gaze went to the door jam where Rory was propped.

"Ah…nothing." Lorelai responded, shuffling the papers on her desk and laughing nervously.

"We have to talk." Rory replied, closing the door behind her as she entered.

"T-talk?" Lorelai stuttered, reshuffling the papers a second time as Rory took the seat in front of her mother's desk. "S-So, what's on your mind sweetheart?"

"I think it's more along the lines of what's on your mind." Rory countered, folding her arms over her chest and giving her mother her best stern look. 'Oh my God she knows! How the hell does she know? Oh God, not the look! Lorelai shrieked to herself.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Lorelai replied, smiling sweetly at her daughter. "And where do you get off accusing me of having something on my mind? I'm the parent here, the interrogation process is supposed to work the other way around." Rory nodded her head in approval and answered coolly.

"Yes Miss Gilmore I agree but these are desperate times, and desperate times call for desperate measures."

"I still have no clue what you're talking about." Lorelai responded, refusing to give in to her daughter.

"Well then I'll just give you a little hint." Rory slowly drawled out. "His name starts with a L and ends with a E…"

"I'm drawing a blank here." Lorelai stalled, praying her daughter would take a hint. Instead she chose to give her mother another hint.

"Well, there are only two more letters in his name, and they are the initials of United Kingdom, and in that order."

"Hold on a minute." Lorelai smirked, grabbing a post it and acting like she was spelling it out.

"Damn it mom, Luke. Luke. You know who I'm talking about now spill."

"What's gotten into you?" Lorelai asked, taken aback by her daughter's outburst.

"I heard you mom."

"Just then, I know sweetie, I asked what's gotten into you."

Rory drew in sharply, becoming more furious with each of her mother's stalling comments. "I heard you this morning mom." Rory clarified. Lorelai swallowed visibly. 'Ah shit."

"Heard what?"

"You don't love Max and you want to marry Luke. I heard."

"But you were asleep, how could you possibly-"

"When someone starts to cry they usually begin to shake as well, your shaking woke me up and as I fell back to sleep I heard you mutter something. I thought it was all a dream and then you got up and headed back upstairs, I knew I was awake when I didn't feel your body heat beside me."

"So that's why you made up that excuse not to go to Luke's this morning."

"Yeah, I was processing. When I got up this morning I saw Max getting ready to leave so I rushed back into my room. I acted like I was sleepwalking for God's sake!" Rory exclaimed.

"You feel weird talking to him too?"

"Wouldn't you?"

"Well…if I was in your situation I'd say I would too."

"Damn right you would." Rory exclaimed, nodding her head in approval.

"So now that you know what do you think?"

"I debated that for a large majority of the day."

"You did?"

"Yeah. I didn't pay attention in any of my classes, including Max's. After class he called me up to his desk and asked me if I remembered sleep walking this morning. He thinks it's the reason that I wasn't paying attention, a sleep disorder thing."

"Really?" Lorelai snorted.

"I know." Rory smiled. "He's definitely not cut out to be a doctor."

"So how do you feel?"

"Does it really matter?" Rory asked shyly.

"Of course it does!" Lorelai gasped. "You know that your opinion matters most, this is a life-changing decision for both of us kid."

"Well tell me what you think first."

"I asked you first."

"So?"

"So I'm the parent and I asked first, you know the rules, where's the pro-con list?"

Rory smiled at how well her mother knew her and as she pulled her list out of her jacket pocket and handed it to her she was surprised to see Lorelai handing her her pro-con list. Lorelai held her breath as she unfolded the list and Rory sighed as she looked down at Lorelai's

A/N: So are you pissed? You'll get the pro-con list soon, how soon depends on the afore mentioned reasons.
