Yes I know that Richard seemed OOC by so quickly agreeing to L/L's engagement. However it is my firm opinion that Richard genuinely wants Lorelai to be happy. I may not have painted the picture well, but I was trying to stress that Richard could actually see how happy and how truthful Luke was in their conversation. I guess I could have clarified that more…sorry to those of you who felt that way. Did anyone else notice that this story has almost three hundred reviews? I mean, gosh…that's plum kool, I'm smiling like I did something slutty…oh God those were the good ol' days. Am I the only one who misses them? I mean Luke and Lorelai weren't together but both Luke and Lorelai weren't so damn stupid. God I swear if I saw ASP out on the street, first I'd shake her hand for creating the show and then kick her ass for ruining it! Anyone with me?

Last time on Dreams, Engagements, and Gilbert…

"What about Max?"

"I don't love him. I love Luke."

"And this man feels the same."

"His name is Luke, and yes he makes us happy."

"Well then. It seems I've caused a big enough scene here."

"That you have." Lorelai agreed. "Drive safe." She spat, hugging herself despite the summer heat and heading back into the house.

The house was quiet when she stepped inside, the door clicking shut behind her and tears swelling in her eyes. Wiping furiously at her cheeks she checked her make-up in the hall mirror and smiling whole-heartedly she stepped into the living room where Luke and Rory were seated on the couch, Luke gaping at all the junk and Rory already helping herself to a slice of pizza. Striding over she threw herself on the cushion between the two and smiled. "This is a definite Wonka night." She smiled, grabbing two slices of pizza and handing one to Luke.

"Are you going to eat all this?" Luke asked quietly, his mind still reeling from earlier.

"No, we're going to eat all this."

"I'm not eating any of it." Luke replied, taking the slice she had extended.

"I think I can change your mind." Lorelai smiled, winking at him.

"Ah…jeez."

"And I'm going for the drinks now, what will it be?" Watching her mother and Luke stare at one another she only sighed and took for the kitchen. "I guess Dr. Pepper is fine with everyone."

"Sounds good honey." Lorelai smiled, pouncing onto Luke as soon as her daughter was out of eyesight.

"What are you doing?" Luke demanded, pulling hesitantly back from her.

"I am trying to kiss my fiancé." She smiled, her hands beginning to roam up his chest.

"Lorelai Rory's in the next room."

"So she won't be back for three minutes."

"How the hell do you know?"

"It's a rule, when Dean's over and they haven't seen each other in like an hour I make up an excuse to leave and stay three minutes. Now we only have two." She replied, grabbing him by his shirt and kissing him fiercely. His hands roamed to her waist where he pulled her closer.

"Lorelai…we…I can't…" He said between kisses.

"Did I tell you how sexy you look?"

"Jeez, Lorelai…"

"It's the truth." She interrupted, her hands coming to either side of his clean-shaven face as she leaned in to kiss him sweetly. "I miss the stubble though. You must have just shaved."

"I did about an hour ago."

"Well I love you clean-shaven but the stubble is…"

"We need to talk about earlier." He whispered, taking her hands in his.

"I know." She agreed, her face falling slightly. "But not now, later."

"I'm going to hold you to that." He said seriously.

"Does that mean you're staying here?"

"I dunno."

"Ah come on Luke. Rory's more than happy with you sleeping here."

"I know but, I mean…"

"You're going to be living here soon enough, Luke. We're getting married." Luke then remembered that his mother's ring was still in his pocket and discreetly felt the shape of the box outside the pocket of his jeans.

"I remember." He said sweetly, leaning forward to capture her lips in a breath-taking kiss. A throat cleared from the kitchen and Lorelai flew from his embrace, landing neatly on the couch beside him. Smiling she took his hand in hers as Rory carried in three cans of Dr. Pepper.

"Sorry about that. I was debating on what to bring out." Rory lied. Taking a seat on the floor in front of her mother and grabbing the remote she looked back to the couple. "You guys ready?"

"Fire it up baby!" Lorelai exclaimed, gaining a giggle from Rory as the night of gluttony began.
