April loved Lorelai. When Lorelai was around April clung to her like lint does to wool coats. When Lorelai wasn't around she was all April could talk about. Lorelai liked her too. She said she reminded her of Rory when she was that age. She found her very amusing and very interesting to talk to. Lorelai was quite content on how their relationship was and stepped into her new role as a stepmother very well. Things were much easier than Luke and Lorelai thought they would be. Once both had adjusted, which didn't take very long, they had settled back into their old routine with just a few minor adjustments. Luke was now beginning to think that the postponement of his and Lorelai's wedding could be called off and they could go back and start planning again. Maybe they could even push the date up.
He walked into Lorelai's house and soon to be his and made his way into the kitchen. He was fully prepared to talk to Lorelai about his thoughts on the wedding but it turned out that Sookie had already beaten him to the punch. He stood there by the kitchen and listened to her talk to Lorelai.
"So have you and Luke thought about setting another date?"
"Sookie you know the answer to that."
"I just don't understand."
"I told you, Luke needs time to deal with April."
"Seems to me like he's done dealing."
"Sookie."
"What! Everything is going well, you and April are getting along, he's developing a relationship with her and Anna is being great. April has adjusted. I think your ready."
"Yeah well that's for us to decided."
"Alright"
Luke then decided to make his presence know.
"Hey"
" Hi, how long have you been here?"
"I just got home. Hey Sookie."
" Hi Luke. Listen Lorelai I got to go. I'll see you tomorrow."
" Bye Sookie." Lorelai turns her attention to Luke.
"So how was the diner today?"
"Same as always. The Inn?"
"Same."
"Yeah. How's Sookie?"
"She's good."
"What were you guys talking about?"
Lorelai hesitates. "Our wedding."
"I see."
"Yeah she thinks we should start planning it again."
"Why don't we."
"What!"
"Why don't we start planning it again."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"We're not done with dealing with the April situation."
"What do you mean?"
"We don't have a firm grasp."
"Yes we do."
"No we don't."
"Yes we do. April and I are doing great. She's cool with us getting married and she adores you."
"It's too soon."
"Why?"
"Because we don't know how April will act once we are married."
"She'll act the way she is acting now."
"You don't understand, that could all change once it's official."
"I don't think so."
"Well it's smarter if we wait."
"What's going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"You're freaking out."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are. You're scared."
" I am not."
"Okay so what's the problem?"
"Look I just think we should give this new situation we have a little more time."
"Unbelievable… I knew it."
"Knew what?"
"That you would back out, why am I not surprised."
"Excuse me?"
"You were just waiting for an excuse, something to hide behind and now you've found it. How can you avoid the fact that you're scared. You can avoid the fact that your afraid of being married, of getting what you really want, of being happy, you're a coward" He says stronger and louder with each word he says.
" I am not a coward."
"Then what are you because your defenitly something."
"You know what I am."
"What?"
" I'm hurt. I'm hurt that you didn't tell me about April and that you didn't trust me enough to tell me and ask me for help."
"You know I was scared."
"Yeah I do but what I don't understand is why you couldn't come to me. I have a kid and I know all about this stuff. I think that I was the best person to come to."
"Well I couldn't?" Luke yelled.
Well if you couldn't come to me for help then maybe we shouldn't begetting married." Lorelai yelled back.
"No I guess we shouldn't." Luke yelled.
And then the house was silent. They both just stood there facing each other and looking at one another because at that very moment their worst fear had just come true and neither one of them was trying to stop it. Their eight year wait, two year romance, and eight month engagement was over. They weren't getting married.

AN: Just so you know the spoiler I posted in my last chapter was for my story not Gilmore Girls itself. If you want Gilmore Girls spoilers might I suggest The spoilers page has at least three threads going on at one time on the show.
