A few hours later…

"Okay, I'm gonna go pal around with Lane and the guys… I probably won't be back tonight… if you catch my drift."

"Rory!" Lorelai let out in a squeal.

"Well, you and my lovely new stepfather need to get acquainted, so I figured that now would be an okay time!"

"Bye hon!" Lorelai screams at her daughter as she is walking out the door.

She turns back to Luke, who has been standing beside her the entire time.

"So…"

"yeah…"

"What do we do now?"

"I don't know, I've never been married before."

"Wow."

"I know. Is it weird to you, cause it seems weird to me."

"That we're married?"

"Well, yeah, I mean no. I don't know exactly how to describe it."

"No, I get it."

"I mean, Luke, you and I walked around each other for years! Did you ever think that it could get to this?"

"Well, I may have wanted it to, but I never actually thought it could happen."

"See…weird."

"All right, so, now that we've established the fact that us being married is weird… I think that we should focus our attentions on other things."

"Mr. Danes, what could you possibly have in mind?" she asks in a shocked voice, with a glimmer in her eye.

With that, he took her in his arms and kissed her. The rest of the evening of course… is history.

The next morning began like any other, waking up to the annoying sound of an alarm coming from Luke's side of the bed. Of course, in Lorelai fashion, the hitting began… seeming to always miss the alarm clock.

"Lorelai! Come on. You have to know that it's not the alarm clock that you're hitting!" he half-yelled in a playful tone.

"Yes, but it gets you all riled up in the morning, and I like reaping the benefits of that."

"You do realize that now that we're married I could have you arrested for spousal abuse."

"You would do that to your blushing bride of not even a day? Maybe I didn't marry the man I thought I did!"

"haha haha… very funny." he says, sitting up in bed, starting to get out.

"Where are you going?"

"Where do you think I'm going? To get you coffee."

"I don't feel like coffee right now, come back to bed."

A stunned Luke and an equally stunned Lorelai stared at each other in confusion.

"I don't want coffee?" she says, the words still foreign on her tongue, even in the form of a question.

"That's what you said. Are you okay?"

"yeah…huh… maybe your influence has finally gotten the best of me!"

After a morning of rounds in the bed, Luke finally got up and went to work in the diner, promising Lorelai a late lunch if she came by later. Lorelai, still not craving coffee called her daughter to get her to come home for last minute wedding details.

"Hey mom."

"You were so sure it was me! Our psychic powers have reached wonderful capabilities."

"Or I looked at the Caller ID before I picked up the phone and saw 'Mom's Cell' glaring back at me"

"Well, the other way was cooler. When are you coming home?"

"Well, funny you should ask that." she says back to her mother as Lorelai hears the front door open and close.

"I'm upstairs"

"I figured as much" she says before shutting her cell and marching up the stairs.

"Still in bed huh?"

"Yeah, Luke left like an hour ago to help at the dinner."

"You realized you married the perfect man, don't you? You can get Luke's breakfast and Luke's coffee every morning without having to even leave the bed."

"Yeah…" she replies trailing her thoughts.

"What?"

"It was just funny cause this morning, Luke went to get out of bed to get me coffee and I told him that I didn't feel like it."

"Like coffee? Has he really worn off on you THAT much?"

"Well, like I said… funny… and…." she trails off again, her eyes going wide.

"Mom… what are you…." Rory picks up on what Lorelai is thinking and her eyes go just as wide. "really?"

"I don't know… maybe."

"Like how sure maybe?"

"I don't know. I haven't really been caring so much about that kind of stuff cause it's so close to the wedding and we were planning on the whole… you know… thing after the honeymoon anyway."

"Are you going to try to find out?"

"I don't know."

"Well, you should."

"Yeah, that'd be a hell of a wedding present… guess what Luke? I'm pregnant!"

"I'm sure that he won't mind."

Just as they're finishing their conversation the phone rings, and Lorelai reaches over the bed to retrieve it.

"Hello?"

"Lorelai, it's your mother. I was wondering if you could come by the house today to talk about more wedding stuff. Maybe you could come around 5ish?"

"What else is there to plan mom, I thought that we had everything under control."

"Well, I figured that there were a few loose ends to tie up before the big day."

"Okay, then I'll be there around 5."

She hung up the phone and looked at her daughter. "Want to go with me to Grandma's to finalize wedding plans?"

"What is there to finalize?"

"I don't know, she said there were some loose ends."

"Yeah, I'll go with you, but can we grab food first?"

"We most certainly can! In fact I insist on it so I can see that unbearably handsome husband of mine."

"Remember that you can't broadcast that fact yet mom, we can't let the town know of your little clandestine wedding."

"Yeah, Yeah, I know." Getting out of bed and pushing Rory out of the room, Lorelai proceeds to change for the day, taking off her newly adorned wedding ring and putting it on her necklace, where she and Luke decided that the rings would stay until Saturday after their Wednesday trip to the court ceremony.

On the drive to Hartford, Rory convinced Lorelai to pull into a drug store and buy a pregnancy test to take tonight before Luke got home. Since she knew that buying it in Stars Hallow wasn't an option, she figured that Rory was right with the decision to check one out in Hartford.

After pulling up to the Gilmore mansion, the girls proceed up the drive to the front door, ringing the bell just as Emily opens up the door.

"Hey mom!"

"Hey Grandma."

"Oh…Rory, what are you doing here?" she said, seeming surprised and almost disappointed at the same time.

Exchanging a glance with Rory, Lorelai jumped in. "Rory wasn't really doing anything, so I told her that she should come with me, and we figured that we could do a little Hartford shopping on the way home"

"Well, isn't that nice."

While they were having this small conversation they made their way into the foyer, where someone was waiting to make his presence known.

"Lor…"

Turning, she saw the one and only, Christopher Hayden. She hadn't spoken to him since the incident at the vow renewal, and had firmly decided that she wouldn't speak to him again.

After giving him a glare she turned to meet the eyes of her mother, who was trying to look as innocent as she could.

"What the hell are you thinking?"

"Lor, this wasn't all her, I saw you a while back at the mall and I followed you back to Stars Hallow, and I saw that you were with Luke, and I thought that I could drop it, but I couldn't."

"Chris, I don't even know what to say to you!" she says, yelling at him.

"Tell me that you love me. That's all that you need to say. You can tell me that, and then we can forget about Luke and you and I can finally get what we've wanted all along! I don't like how things have turned out… I don't want them to be this way!"

"Christopher, I'm MARRIED! That's not something that can so easily be looked over."

From her spot, almost hidden in the corner, Rory gasped at her mother's slip, and then hoped that no one noticed it. She hoped that her mother's small confession could be mistaken as a Freudian slip for the upcoming weekend or that they thought that she meant getting married and forgot the getting part.

"Not yet, there's still time!"

But, of course, the amazing powers of Emily Gilmore reign just as before. Lorelai had gone very still after her last comment, and Rory's gasp did not go unnoticed.

"Lorelai, look at me." Emily said in a stern voice.

Refusing to even move an inch, Emily became even more frustrated with her.

"Lorelai Gilmore! You…"

"Danes." With that, the secret was out. There was a long silence as Emily stared at Lorelai with a glazed over look and her mouth wide.

"When?"

"Yesterday."

"What were you thinking!"

Finally she turned to face her mother. "I was thinking that I couldn't wait until Saturday to marry him, so I got him, Rory, and Sookie, and we went to a judge out here and got married. But we knew that people like you and people in the town would be upset if we didn't have the big hoohah wedding, so we didn't tell anybody about it. I wanted my middle to start as soon as possible."

"Lorelai…"

"Mom… I really don't get it. I thought that we were doing good. You seemed to really start liking Luke… you even said so. You said that you realized that Chris could never give me what Luke did. When did all that change?"

"I called her. I told her that I wanted to talk to you. I know that you're still mad about what happened at the renewal, but I wanted to get another chance after I saw you."

"Saw… stalked… however you choose to look at it. Chris… you're chances are up, you're done." she says, not even being able to look at him, but still staring straight into the eyes of her mother. After her last words to him, he walked out, hopefully leaving for good.

"Lorelai…"

"No…he said that he called you and he tried to set this up so that you wouldn't get all the blame for it, but you still let him do it. You acted disappointed that Rory showed up with me so you and Christopher couldn't have me to yourselves. Don't think that I didn't notice that. I guess some things never change." she says, turning to leave. She pauses at the door. "Dad is more than welcome to come, but I don't want you there on Saturday. Not after this."

As she walks out, Emily turns to Rory, who had remained silent during the entire exchange. "Rory." That was all she got out before Rory turned to do the same thing as her mother.

After a quiet ride back to Stars Hallow, Lorelai got out of the Jeep to find Luke sitting on the porch seeming to be enjoying the summer air.

"Hey, I didn't know when you were coming back, but I'm glad that you're back so soon."

Walking up to him, she looked defeated and worn out.

"What's wrong?"

"Well, mom's not coming to the wedding, I think I might put a restraining order on Christopher, and they know I'm a Danes."

"Oh, so nothing major…." he says sarcastically as Lorelai turns into him and starts to cry.

I know that it's horribly cliché to add Chris into the mix and have Emily and Lorelai fighting again, but come on… it's fun drama! I think that Chris will be gone for good now… let me know what you think so far…I'll update it soon with the happy cute wedding! Reviews are cool, I like hearing what you have to say, so do it!
