"Are you ready to go?" Lorelai asked, leaning over the counter and kissing Luke.
They were heading out to Miss Patty's for the town meeting. Lorelai had gotten them out of Friday night dinner so they could tell the town their news.
"Yeah. Just let me lock up," Luke replied.
After locking up, Luke and Lorelai made their way to Miss Patty's Dance Studio. Lorelai looked over at Luke and noticed a peeved expression on his face.
"Come on hun, cheer up. It's only the town meeting. I'll do all the talking if you like," Lorelai told him.
"I don't feel like dealing with this crazy town tonight," he complained, making Lorelai laugh.
"You never feel like dealing with this crazy town," she said as they entered Miss Patty's.
Inside, Taylor was going on and on about how the deer population was overpopulated.
He will never just leave it, will he? I swear, and people think I'm crazy. Lorelai thought.
"Come on, Taylor, give it up already. You've been going on and on about this subject for years now," Gypsy said, clearly annoyed.
"Fine. If deer start prancing around town, don't come complaining to me," Talor said, aggrivatedly. "Ok people, if anyone has something to say then please raise your hand,"
Lorelai raised her hand and Taylor had his I'm-not-in-the-mood-to-put-up-with-your-silliness-tonight look. "Ok Lorelai, come up here if you must," he sighed.
Lorelai walked up to the front of the room, dragging Luke with her.
"Ok people, we have some big news to tell you," she said.
"Oh, do tell, honey!" Miss Patty encouraged.
"Well, as of three weeks ago, Luke and I are engaged," she told them.
"You've got to be kidding me!" someone said.
"It really took you guys that long?"
"You finally reeled him in, huh, suga?" Babette commented, smiling.
"We all knew it would happen someday sweetie. Congratulations to you both," Patty said.
"Thank you, Patty," Lorelai said, still a little shocked at the way everyone acted to her news.
"Am I the best man?" Kirk asked.
"No Kirk," Luke said.
"Damn!" Kirk said sitting down.
"Now there's one more piece of news we have to share with you all tonight. Everyone, Luke Danes has finally procreated," Lorelai said, smiling.
"Ah jeez," Luke said, rolling his eyes.
"You mean you and Mr. I-Hate-Jam-Hands over there are having a kid?" Gypsy asked. "Lord help us,"
"I'd be a great babysitter," Kirk commented.
"I don't think so, Kirk," Luke told him.
"Aw, angel, we're happy for ya," Babette said.
"Aw, thanks Babette." Lorelai said.
"Now Luke, seeing as the misfortune with genetics, there is a very high chance that this child might take after you. I don't understand why God would even put a poor child through this, having a crazy mother and a grumpy father. Combine that and you are bound to get a wild child,"
"What's your point, Taylor?" Luke asked.
"My point is that your baby has a high risk of becoming wild and a hoodlum just like his or her cousin. I will not have that, again, Lucas," Taylor said, shaking a finger. "I work hard to keep this town under the best possible saftey. If your son or daughter grows up to wreck havoc on this town, I will act,"
"Shut up, Taylor!" Luke shouted.
xox
When the meeting ended, most of the town walked up to Luke and Lorelai to give there congratulations.
"Now that wasn't so bad was it?" Lorelai asked Luke once they got home.
"I'm going to kill Taylor," Luke growled.
"I think I just might help you this time. So, I was talking with Patty and Babette. They were asking about our plans for the wedding. When actually do you want to have it?"
"Um, I don't know. What do you think?" Luke asked.
"How about July eighth?" Lorelai asked.
"Why July eighth?" Luke questioned.
"Well because it took us eight years to realize how we feel about each other. I don't know, it's kinda romantic," she said.
"I think July eighth is perfect." Luke told her, kissing her softly. Lorelai smiled at him.
"So, now that's out of the way, what do you think we should name the baby?" Lorelai asked.
"Hmm.. how about William if it's a boy? You know, after my father," Luke told her.
"Sure, I like the name William." Lorelai told him. "I don't know what we should do for a girls name, though. What was your mothers name?"
"Lauren,"
"Lauren... I like that. It's cute,"Lorelai said.
Luke put his arm around her waist. Lorelai leaned her head on his shoulder.
"I'm tired. Lets go to bed," Lorelai said. They put on their pajama's and climbed into bed, falling asleep almost instantly.
