"Lorelai, I can't find the star to put on top of the tree!" Luke yelled to his wife.

Lorelai walked over to him, her hand laying on her huge belly. She was now seven months pregnant. She laughed and out her hand on Luke's shoulder.

"Uh, hun, the star is up there." she said, pointing at the top shelf in the closet.

"Oh, uh, I assumed that you might have shoved it in a box like you usually do to things." he said.

"Hey! I don't do that to everything."

"Well, you shove them in any place you can find."

"Like where?"

"Before I moved in here, you kept you shoes in the oven."

"Oh, right. Ok, point made."

Luke walked over to the Christmas tree and place the star on top of the tree.

"Oh!" Lorelai put her hand to her stomach.

"What is it?" Luke asked, looking worried.

"The babies kicked. Here, give me your hand." she grabbed his hand and placed it on her swollen belly.

"Wow," he looked up at her. "They kicked!"

Lorelai smiled at him. He'd been so patient and caring these past few months. She could tell he was exctied about being a daddy. He was always going into the nursery and fixing things, trying to make it perfect. He went around the whole house and safety proofed everything that might harm the twins. And, to Lorelai's dislike but appreciation all the same, he made sure she followed a strict diet that would insure the babies good health.

These past few months had been great. Three months ago they did get some surprising news. Rory had called and said she wanted them to meet someone. When they arrived at the house, Luke and Lorelai were extrememly surprised to see Rory standing in the doorway with no one else but Jess himself. She told them about the breakup with Logan (Luke was about ready to leave so he could give that "No good, bastard rich boy!" a piece of his mind) and explained that she had gone to Jess and he had comforted her. She said that the decided to go on a date to see if things would work out and it did.

In the end, they were happy for Rory. Jess had caused a lot of trouble when he was younger, but he seemed to have changed a lot. in a good way of course. Luke did tell him though that if he hurt her in anyway, he would make his life hell. Jess had assured no such thing would happen.

Now it was Christmas eve and the newlyweds were going all out, this being their first Christmas as a married couple with twins on the way. Luke and Jess had put the multi-colored Christmas lights up, while Lorelai and Rory made a snowman and decorated the inside of the house.

Rory and Jess would be coming over later. Luke was going to make dinner and they were just going to spend the night hanging out and then watch It's a Wonderful Life.

"I'm going to get the gifts and put them under the tree. Can you help me?"

"Yeah, sure. Don't try and pick up any heavy ones though." he told Lorelai as the walked up the stairs to their room. They walked to the a corner in the room where there were a stack of wrapped gifts. They took the down a couple at a time and placed them under the tree. Lorelai bent down to pick one up and then stood up immediately.

"Ow!" she yelled, placing a hand on her back.

"What? What's wrong?" Luke rushed over to her and led her to the bed to sit down.

"Just to much bending down and pressure." she told him.

"Ok, just stay here and lay down. I'll get the rest of the gifts and then I'll make you some lunch."

"Ok. Thanks babe." she lay down and grabbed the remote and turned on the tv.

"Hey, Luke?" she yelled.

Luke ran up the stairs.

"Yeah?"

"Can you get some apples from Doose's. I've had a craving for some and we're all out."

"Sure, no problem. I need to get some things from there anyway. Be back in a bit." he kissed his wife good-bye and headed out.

An hour later, Luke came into the room with a tray and set it down in beside her. On it was a salad, vegetable soup, and an apple. Normally, Lorelai would have complained about having to eat what she called "rabbit food.", but she had been on a diet like this throughout her pregnancy.

"Thanks sweets. Here, lay with me."

"Ok, hold on." Luke walked down stairs, made himself a salad, and walked back up to their room.

"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Lorelai asked.

"Ham, rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, salad, and a pie for the junkies." he said.

"Really! I get to have pie?" Lorelai laughed.

Although she was on this stupid diet, Luke didn't completely keep her away from her junk food. But then again, he didn't let her go overboard.

Luke laughed. "Cherry pie."

"Oooo! Yummy!"

Luke laughed some more.

"You act as if I haven't let you have pie for years."

"Hey, I'm used to eating pie at least three times a week. Now it's only three times a month. I can't wait to have these babies so I can go back to eating real food."

"You're crazy. Have I ever told you that?"

"All the time." Lorelai replied, leaning in for a kiss."

The doorbell rang and Lorelai got up from the couch to get it. Luke was in the kitchen cooking.

"Babe!" Lorelai said, kissing her daughter's forehead.

"Mom! Look at you! You look great!" Rory exclaimed to her mother.

"Ugh. No I don't. I look like a cow. You know, only without the fur and mooing and all."

Rory laughed.

"You're delusional mom. You look hot for a woman seven months pregnant with twins!"

"Thanks hun. Hey Jess." Lorelai said smiling at him.

"Hey Lorelai."

"Luke's in the kitchen if you want to be with him instead."

"Yeah, sure. I don't think baby talk is for me." he laughed.

Lorelai and Rory laughed as well.

"We're women. What can we say?" Rory asked and her and Lorelai sat on the couch.

"So," Lorelai said. "Thing's are going good for you guys?"

"Things are great. He's changed so much. I like this side of him."

"Aw, that's great, sweetie."

"Yeah." Rory said smiling. "So, how are my brother and sister?"

"About ready to get out! The kick all the time. Oh! Like now."

"Oh! Can I?" Rory asked.

"Sure."

Rory put her hand on her mother's stomach and felt the twins kicking away.

"Aww! I can't wait for them to come. I'm going to take them out, play with them, spoil them!"

"Oh, they'll love you."

"What are you going to name them?"

"Lauren Lorelai Danes and William Lucas Danes."

"Oh, mom, those names are adorable."

"I know. We decided to name the boy William after Luke's dad."

"That's so sweet."

"Guess what?"

"What?"

"Luke's letting me have pie tonight!"

Rory laughed.

"I'm guessing that's the best news you've had all day?"

"Just about."

"Lorelai, Rory!" Luke called form the kitchen "Dinner's ready."

"Oh thank God. I'm starving."

"Me too."

The girls walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. They all piled their plates with food and begun to eat.

"Great food hun." Lorelai complimented.

"Thanks." Luke smiled.

"So, Lorelai, when are you due?" Jess asked.

"February 24."

"Two months away. Aren't you guys excited?" Rory said.

"Very! Your dad keeps nagging me to pack a suitcase just in case."

"Hey, you never know." Luke told her.

"Aww, dad, looking out for mom! That's so cute. But, he's right mom. Approximately 12 percent of babies in the United States are born preterm and 80 percent of those preterm births are due to spontaneous preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of the fetal membranes."

"See? Proof right there." Luke told Lorelai.

"Where in the world did you find that out?" Lorelai asked.

"Internet." Rory said.

"You need to see a doctor."

"Why?"

"Because you are too smart."

Rory laughed at her mother.

When they had finished, Luke gave a piece of pie to everyone and they all went to sit in the living room.

"The tree is beautiful." Rory told them.

"Well, this Christmas is extra special," Lorelai told her. "Ok, movie time!"

She popped in the movie and they sat down and watched it. All together as a family.

After the movie, Luke pulled out the blow up matress for Rory and Jess. They bade them good-night and went to bed.

oOoOo

The next morning, they were all sitting downstairs about to open gifts.

"Merry Christmas guys!" Lorelai said.

"Merry Christmas." everyone said.

"Present time!" Rory announced. "Ok, the first gift goes to the mother and father to be."

Rory handed them a gift.

"Oooo! Wonder what it is?" Lorelai said.

"Open it!" Rory said.

Lorelai and Luke tore at the wrapping paper. Inside a box were four blue baseball caps. Two adults and two tiny one's. On it they said "Danes".

"Aww hun, that's so cute!" Lorelai said and Luke laughed.

"We got some for us too. And I also got two bigger ones for when the twins get older."

"Thank's Rory."

"No problem. Ok, now lets open all of them."

They all begun to tear at their presents.

Later that night, they all sat down. Everyone was wearing their "Danes" hats. Jess's hat said "Danes Mariano". Lorelai put the twins hats in their cribs.

They were all siting down drinking hot chocolate and listening to Christmas carols on the radio. It had indeed been the best Christmas. Luke had gotten Lorelai a beautiful diamond bracelet. Lorelai had gotten him a new fishing rod and fishing gear and equipment.

"Merry Christmas hun." Lorelai said.

"Merry Christmas." Luke kissed her softly and they all started chatting happily.
