Disclaimer: Not Mine…

Lorelai ran into the house practically panting from her sprint from the inn. She had instantly cursed herself for walking when she stepped outside and now was no exception to the cursing. "Gilmore's are not meant for physical exertion." She said aloud, bending over to catch her breath, letting her purse fall to the ground beside her.

"Funny." Came a voice from the hallway. "According to Babette what you were doing in your office in the inn was pretty physical." Lorelai looked up to see her daughter propped against the wall, arms crossed disapprovingly across her chest.

"Today must be Freaky Friday for us or something kid, I should be the one scolding you and holding the disapproving look/arms folded over chest combo, it's just not fair. Ok, so you caught me, but you have to let me explain." Lorelai rambled, straightening up.

"Oh I've already heard the story." Rory stopped her. "Babette told me all of it, apparently your voices carry well in that little office."

"So you know about Luke punching Max out and coming close to choking him to death."

"Yeah, but to be quite honest I'm looking forward to hearing your version."

"I would make it more colorful wouldn't I?"

"Yeah." Rory replied smiling.

"So… you're not mad at me kid?"

"Hell no! I want to hear all about it." Rory exclaimed, dragging her mother towards the couch where they flopped down together. "But I want to ask you one question before we begin, well, actually two."

"Ok…" Lorelai trailed, a lump forming in her throat in anticipation of her daughter's questions.

" Number one: Did you tell Luke you loved him and two: did you do it in your office, keep in mind that I don't want details, just the answer, I think I already have a pretty good idea due to the massive hickey on your neck." Lorelai immediately brought her hand to her neck but then realized that you couldn't possibly feel a hickey.

"Ok. The answer to number one is no, he heard me yelling at Max and during the duration I told Max that I loved Luke so he knows, I just haven't told him to his face, though I plan to very soon. And for number two the answer is no. I remembered that I hadn't told you about me and Luke and so I took off. Luke knows that I have to clear everything by you, so no sex today."

"Alright, now I want to hear your version of everything. If you leave out anything, I may be forced to lynch you."

"Fair deal." Lorelai smiled, beginning her side of the story. "It all started when you left, of course. Max and I started getting into it…"

Luke stood in his apartment debating with himself on whether or not to deliver the chuppah to her. It was, after all, an engagement present, and she and Max were not engaged and would never be again. Lorelai was his now and nothing would ever change that fact. Lorelai was his and would remain his as long as he could help it. The chuppah however would be a reminder of the fact that Lorelai had not gotten married. Luke sighed, he had worked hard on that damn thing, would it be so wrong that he wanted her to have it, heck it could be for their wedding, not that he was going to commit to anything right now. 'Do you need to remind yourself again that there is a tiny piece of newspaper in your walled telling you otherwise?' Came a voice from within his head. "Ah shut up." He said aloud and headed down the stairs. He would keep the chuppah in his truck and if she came outside to greet him when he got there then it was a sign that she was meant to have it, and today. If she didn't though then maybe tonight wasn't the best night, and Luke could easily pay Gypsy to store it in her garage. 'You never know. Maybe I was meant to make it for our wedding.' Luke couldn't help but smile at the thought as he jumped behind the driver's wheel of his truck.
