I don't own Gilmore Girls.
It feels really good to write a story about how HAPPY Luke and Lorelai are! And believe me when I say that April and Anna are not going to exist in my story.
Chapter 11
Let's Go See Rory
They were both on the ground in hysterics- seeing the other with coffee coming out of their nose or mouth was hilarious, and neither could get the picture out of their head. Finally they breathed a sigh of relief- and turned their heads so that they could look at each other. Absolute happiness was written on both faces. They were engaged- they both wanted to be together. That was amazing- and wonderful and Lorelai couldn't breathe for a moment. She got up on her elbow so that she could lean over and kiss Luke.
Their kiss was interrupted by Babbette. "Doll! Did I see flames in your yard!" She asked as she raced through the front door.
"Hey Babbette!" Lorelai said, pulling herself and Luke up to their feet. "We have some news for you"
Babbette took in the huge smiles, and started jumping up and down. "You're engaged! Oh my gosh! Doll! You got engaged!"
"Wow, you guessed that fast. But yes, you're right. Luke and I got engaged tonight." She looked back to Luke, hoping that it was okay to be telling this already. He nodded and smiled at her.
"Oh, I am so excited for guys! I have to go tell Miss Patty." And she raced back out of the house, and down the street.
Luke and Lorelai, laughed at her- realizing once again how long the town had been waiting to see them together. She turned to him, her eyes getting very serious she said "I love you Luke Danes."
He took her into his arms, and whispered the same thing into her hair. They stayed like that for a long time, until Lorelai thought of something. "Rory!" and leaped backwards out of his arms.
He smiled. He had been waiting for her to realize that she needed to tell Rory and Sookie. He was glad that she was happy enough to want to tell people.
"Can I call her?" she asked, wanting to tell Rory the best news of her life.
"Why don't we go up and see her Lorelai?" he replied. "Go get ice cream or something." He knew that this was going to be an important meeting with Rory, and he watched her face light up at the idea.
So she ran to get shoes and a coat and jumped into his truck. In the car, she was so fidgety that Luke laughed at her, and put his hand on her knee; just trying to calm her down. "You know, how about tomorrow night we go get you a ring?"
She hadn't even thought about a ring. She had just been so excited that they both wanted to get married, that it had completely slipped her mind. Wow, he must not have been expecting to purpose tonight! Was her thoughts. Then a thought hit her hard…..did he want to get married, or had he just been wrapped up in the moment? She glanced at Luke and studied his look. He looked happy. "Luke; did you-"
"Yes Lorelai. I have been wanting to ask you for awhile….I just thought that it was too soon for you. But then tonight- seeing what you were giving me and how much you were putting into this relationship, I knew that that was what you wanted too. I just hadn't gotten a ring yet. I promise that I have been wanting to ask you for awhile." He took his eyes off the road for a second so that he could make his point with his eyes. "I love you, and have for a long time. My dream has been to marry you Lorelai." Her eyes getting teary told him that she believed him. And he smiled. "Let's go tell Rory our news." And with that he parked the car, and they got out and walked hand in hand to Rory's room.
