Christopher trailed them back to Stars Hallow, where Lorelai stopped first at the diner to see Luke. It never really crossed his mind that the two of them could be back together, but she knew that he was her friend. Really, he didn't want Lorelai to be un happy, he just wanted her to be with him. He still remembers Emily's call to him the day after their vow renewal…

"Christopher, I gave you the time, I gave you the place, and I practically gave you her on a silver platter… what the hell is your problem!"

"What do you mean, what is my problem? I tried to get Lorelai back, but she didn't want to talk to me, and all she wanted to do was go after this Luke guy."

"The whole idea was to get her away from the diner man and back with you, but you were obviously too stupid to realize that. I'm really surprised at you Christopher… I thought you to be a more intelligent man."

"Well I'm sorry Emily, but there's nothing that I can do now."

"Fine. At least the first part worked and she's not with that ridiculous man anymore. I'm perfectly happy with that, and you can do whatever you want with the knowledge of her current state of being single. Preferably, you will go to her again, apologize, make up, and all will be well…goodbye Christopher."

She had hung up, and all that he could think about was what he could do about Lorelai. As he watched her sitting on the stool in the diner from his hidden spot he took in her mannerisms. She really did look beautiful, so whoever this guy was, he was doing his job and making her happy. He could tell that she was in a stubborn mood, cause she looked like she had her face scrunched up and a pout on her lips. Luke said something to her, and she seemed to brighten up instantly, a huge smile spreading across her face. He was taken back when she stood up and pressed her lips to his for a long, passionate kiss.

After they broke apart, he started his car and made the trip back to Boston, with the intention of figuring out what exactly he was going to do about this new development. She was engaged to Luke, and it all made no sense. With the crap that he pulled at that wedding, they wouldn't have lasted. Luke couldn't ever really trust her when he was in the picture, and he knew that Emily wanted Lorelai to be with the father of her granddaughter. All the odds were against them, and they were planning on getting married?

The Volvo speed off in the direction of Boston as Lorelai left the diner and headed towards home.

When she got home after her adventure at the mall, picking up her dress, she called out for Rory, who had probably given up by now on cleaning the house.

"Rory!"

"I'm up here mom!" she called from what sounded like the bedroom.

"Where are you? Are you still in my room?" she answered back to her while making her way up the stairs to the bedroom.

"Have you been – " she stopped and took in the room. Half of the closet was cleaned out, and due to some unbelievable organizational skills, her shoes were all neatly arranged on the floor of it, with just a few spots for Luke to place his. She looked in the drawers at all the space that Rory made, and was thoroughly amazed by how clean and tidy everything looked.

Lorelai then turned silently to Rory… "Who are you? And what did you do to my daughter…and more importantly all my clothes."

"I, darling mother of mine, discover the wonder of the 'under-the-bed box'." she said, lifting up the dust ruffle of Lorelai's bed to discover a few boxes with clothes folded inside."

"Cool! So, you didn't take anything away from mommy?" she said with a hopeful look on her face.

"No, I took plenty away, I'm just not going to tell you what, and you're going to deal with it, because even with these boxes, Luke only has a limited amount of space in this room."

"Wow, I really am impressed kid!" she pats Rory on the shoulder and directs her out of the room and down the stairs.

The two fall onto the couch not-so-gracefully, with Rory spent from cleaning, and Lorelai just being Lorelai.

"So, how'd the dress look?"

"Great! I'm glad that they did it so fast. I'm ready for the wedding."

"Oh, yeah! Mia called, and she said that she's going to come and stay starting next weekend, cause she wants to be here leading up to the wedding."

"Oh, she does?"

"Yup, we're going to pick her up from the Hartford airport this coming Saturday."

"Yay!"

"So… what is the next project?"

"I have no idea. Should we tackle the attic?"

"Remember Mr. Daddy Long Legs though… I don't think that I really want to have a chat with him. And who knows what else is crawling up there."

"Then lets go through the living room and the kitchen and make space, and then when Luke comes over tonight, I can use my powers of persuasion to ask him to clean the attic."

"The kitchen? We never use the kitchen, so why do we need to clean the kitchen?"

"Well you remember how, when we didn't have any room to put something in our own rooms or in the closet or in the attic and I said that I'd take care of it?" she says, getting up and motioning for Rory to follow her into the kitchen.

"Yeah?"

"Well…" she says, opening a few of the lower cupboards and revealing a secret stash of random stuff that the girls had accumulated over the years.

"Did your mother ever tell you to not hide things under your bed?"

"No, but the maid did… and this doesn't count cause it's the kitchen!"

"Totally the same!"

"So NOT the same!"

After a lot of arguing and plenty of protest from Lorelai about things that she was getting rid of, the girls finished cleaning the house so that Luke could move all of his stuff in. Later that night, completely spent after their day of cleaning, the two sat on the couch in peace, and none other than the diner man came through the door.

"Hey, I'm here!" he said, walking to the kitchen to put the bags of food he brought home down.

When he walked into the living room, his eyes were set upon something that he couldn't wait to see for the rest of his life. Lorelai was sort of sitting up, laying her head on the arm rest of the sofa, with her hand laying gently on the head of her daughter, which had found its way into her lap. She had obviously fallen asleep stroking her hair, which he had seen her do repeatedly to Rory. The two were a picture perfect pair.

"Lorelai?" he whispered.

"hmmm?"

"Lorelai… hey, it's time to get up." he answers her grunt with another whisper.

"I don't want to get up, I'm too tired." she says groggily.

"I brought you some food, and it's in the kitchen… but you have to get up to get it."

"Rory, he brought food…" she says still in sleepy-Lorelai mode.

"hmmmph…sleep…" Rory mumbles into her mother's lap.

"Well, I can see that this is a lost cause… come on." he says, bending up to pick Rory up off of her mother and carry her to her room.

She curled up into Luke's arms, obviously feeling safe and comfortable in his actions. After putting her down on the bed, he slipped her shoes off and covered her with a blanket.

"Love you Luke…"

"I love you too, kid" he says, as he leans down and places a kiss on her forehead.

"If I didn't know any better, I would say that she likes you Mr. Danes." Lorelai said from the doorway, where she had seen the scene unfold.

"I thought that you were still passed out on the couch?" he asks while walking out into the kitchen and quietly closing Rory's door.

"Well, you took my human blanket, so I looked up and saw you carrying her in here, and then I remembered that you said something about food. You can't mention food and not have me get up Luke, don't you know this?"

"Yes, I do… please forgive my stupidity."

The week went on, and when Saturday came, the girls piled in Lorelai's Jeep in search of Hartford's airport to pick up one of their favorite people in the world. When they arrived, Mia's plane was just getting to the gate, so they waited for a few minutes for her to get off, and finally she was there.

"Mia!" they both screamed at the sight of her.

"Well, hello girls!"

"Mia, you don't know how much it means to me that you are going to be here for the wedding, and it means a lot to Luke too." Lorelai says, hugging the woman before her.

"Well, you and Lucas certainly deserve each other, so I wouldn't miss this day for the world! Now, let's get my bags and make our way out! We've got some last minute wedding details to pan out, I'm sure."

As they were walking down to baggage claim, Lorelai filled Mia in on all that had been happening with the wedding plans, leaving out the minor scare that the two had the past month.

"It sounds like you've got everything under control then!"

"Yeah, it seems like we do, surprisingly, because this has been quite the ordeal."

"And you and your mother…how has that been?"

"Actually… good. There were a few touch and go moments and this past month I thought we were going back to our old ways, but all ended up being well."

"Has there been some recent drama?"

"We'll tell you all about that later, but we'll just say that it all ends really well, and it has a lot to do with the honeymoon!" Lorelai starts to laugh at her own little joke, insinuating exactly what they hoped was going to happen on the honeymoon, when she abruptly stops the laughing.

"Mom, what?"

"The Honeymoon!"

"What about it?"

"We haven't planned one! Oh my gosh, that was where we wanted to… um… but we haven't even… MAN!"

"Okay, so complete sentences are not only grammatically correct, but also helpful in determining what you're freaking out about…so repeat that?"

"Luke and I haven't talked about a honeymoon at all. We have to have a honeymoon, don't we?"

So… I'm sorry, but I was having some sever writers block that I think is still there… so this chapter kinda blows the big one… I'm sorry that it took me this long to update too! I promise that I haven't forgotten about you all! Hopefully I'll be able to think some more and get some more fabulous ideas running through my head! R and R… but be gentle with this one, cause it's not top notch.
