A/n HI! Thanx so muck for all of the reviews. I know I mentioned that this was a Rogan so people are anxious when he will be showing but have no fear! A small reminder that he is current ally in London. I have a plan for when he will appear, but i might take a few chapters. Be patient:-)
Lorelai, Luke and Rory went up the walk way to the Gilmore's. Lorelai had filled Luke and Rory in about the house that they were giving Luke and Lorelai for their wedding. Now, they were headed to Friday night dinner which now Luke, much to his dismay was to be included in if he could get away from the diner. It had been a couple of weeks since Luke and Lorelai had gotten back together, and they had basically finished planning there wedding. They had decided for it to be in the winter, Lorelai favorite time of year, by Luke's suggestion because he knew if it snowed on that day it would make it even more special. Tonight, they decided to approach the subject of Luke borrowing money to help fight for custody of April. Rory went up and rang the doorbell. Emily, much to everyone's surprise, had managed to keep the same maid this month so they were immediately let in and coats were taken. everyone greeted each other, got their drinks and sat down. Emily could immediately tell they wanted to to discuss something, so she addressed the subject.
"You guys need money for something, I can tell."
"Well, yes Mom b--.."
"What do you need it for." You could tell Richard had a slight annoyance in his voice.
"Well Dad, Mom, you guys know that Luke has his daughter April?"
"Yes."
"Well you see her mother has filed for full custody of her, and Luke doesn't have enough money to fight back, and well I I'm sorry but I can't let what happened to Rory growing up ."
"Fine. We'll give you some money, even set you up with a good lawyer, but once the case is over, we will come back to the issue of her obligations to Friday night dinners depending on the custody arrangement. Deal?" Everyone's eyes were on Emily and Luke.
"Deal." Luke said grinning.
"Good, now everyone lets eat."
Over dinner Lorelai and Luke Filled everyone in on the details of the wedding they had finally decided.
" It will be on December 10th on the Dragonfly's property with a reception, catered by Sookie in the town square afterwards."
They discussed all of the other detail over the remainder of dinner
About a month later, in August, Luke was headed to court. He got up in front the judge to present his case and situation. He explained to the judge that he owned his own business, was financially stable and that while his apartment was kind of small, he would be moving into his and Lorelai's new house in either late December or early January. He also explained Lorelai's work and financial statuses and a little of her past history. The judge than decided that April would remain living with her mom full time until school started and then only on the weekends, once school started. Once January came along and Luke had moved, he would get custody of April with monthly and summer visitation rights for Anna.
