Thanks to all of the reviews!

This is short, but it is very very sweet.

I hate that Lorelai never said that she was "in". I was trying to think of how she would have done it, and this was what I came up with.

Chapter 9

Lorelai had never been so excited in her whole life. She had had the best idea as a present to Luke, to show that she was his for good. She could hardly breathe she was so excited. She dug through her closets, throwing things out onto her bed as she went. And then she found it, she hadn't even looked or thought about it for years, The Max box. The last time that she had looked inside was when Rory and Dean broke up. She breathed in and peaked inside. She also wanted to write Luke a letter. Explaining exactly what these boxes meant. She then dug deeper. She had been angry at Jason when they broke up, but she had kept a couple things that stood out to her as meaningfully from their relationship. She threw them onto the pile also. Then there was Chris. He had been so important to her life for so long- sure on and off, but still he was very important. She had a lot from him. The night they sat on the staircase listening to their parents argue about what they should do with their pregnant children, Lorelai and Christopher had listen to her walkman. She had saved the tape from inside. She had a million things that made her think of him, and some of it made her sad. But the thought of having a real relationship, and not waiting around for Chris, was a huge step in the right direction for Lorelai. She glanced at the clock. She had about 2 ½ hours before Luke would be coming by. Lorelai needed to hurry if she wanted to have everything perfect for Luke. She started digging through her closet more quickly, looking for any hint of anything else that was from any other relationship.

When she was sure that everything from any other guy was out of her closet, she brought it all downstairs. She needed a large bow to put over the top of the boxes. She couldn't wait to see Luke's face when he understood what all of this meant. Lorelai was sure this time, she had never been sure. She had the most amazing chills running through her as she did this. She wanted to show Luke that she was in. Not just say it; this whole relationship was such a huge turning point in her life- it was changing the way she thought, and felt. Huge changes, that Lorelai didn't even know needed to happen. Her heart was lifting, and she didn't have the normal insecurities that she normally did. It's not like everything in life was perfect, but things seemed to be getting better. She couldn't even imagine forever with him!

Luke couldn't decide what was different, but something was. He couldn't place it at all, but it made him stop and back away for a minute to take the whole house in at once. Realizing it was as simple as every light in the whole house being on, he relaxed again. Why was every light on? What was she doing? But at least everything was okay, and her car was there, so she didn't run on him. There was a different feeling about tonight though that he couldn't shake. But it was necessarily bad, so he rang her bell.

Her heart stopped when she heard him ring the bell. He was here! She was about to give her entire heart to a man! She had truly already done that, but this was going to be big. She walked downstairs, not believing where life had taken her in the last couple weeks. She opened the door with a huge smile, and Luke noticed that her eyes sparkled more then normal. Although she did looked nervous.

She wordlessly took his hand, and led him over to where she had set all of the

junk. She couldn't breathe; she was so excited to share her feelings with Luke. Luke was completely confused, the normally cattery Lorelai, was silent, and not telling him what she was up to. Something was up. To calm herself down, she closed her eyes and kissed him. Still confused, Luke broke the kiss and gave her a funny look. She breathed in, and stepped to the side so that Luke could see what she had done. "Luke, th- this stuff represents every other relationship I have- (she was getting choked up at the emotion of it all)- I have ever had." And then she whispered, "it's all for you." She watched him take it all in, so she saw when the magnitude of what she meant hit him.

Luke had to sit down, and thank goodness there was a seat behind him. This was it! Lorelai was his. He knew how much these other men had meant to her, and it was all his. He wondered if this was why he had felt something odd when he had gotten to her door. Had his heart known what would happen tonight? He felt like crying at the gift that was in front of him; something that he hadn't felt like doing since his father died. This relationship was different. They had been in love for 8 years- true they had only known about these feelings for two weeks- but he knew. And he knew that it was time. Suddenly he got up, understanding what exactly she was giving him. But to her surprise, he didn't stand up, but got on his knee.
