Wow, people tend to freak out when you have someone yell wait during a wedding. I am really, really, really sorry about not updating very fast when I left you guys with a cliffhanger.
Luke and Lorelai turned to face the person who had just interrupted their wedding.
"You're kidding me" Lorelai said.
"Rachel" Luke said. "What are you doing?"
"Luke, I made a mistake leaving you. I still love you and I know you still love me" Rachael said. "I shouldn't have left but I got scared, Luke, but now I know that I shouldn't have left"
"Rachel I may have thought I loved you then but you were right when you said my heart was set on someone else. I love Lorelai, I realize now that I always have. I am going to marry her because I love her more than anything in the world" Luke said.
"But…"
Christopher stood up and walked in front of Rachel.
"I think it'd be best if you were to leave" Christopher said.
"I agree" Emily said standing up.
"Nobody is going to ruin my daughter's wedding" Richard said. "Now please go"
Soon everyone in Stars Hallow was telling Rachel to leave. Rachel looked Luke in the eye and then turned and left. It was dead silent. The priest cleared his throat.
"As you were saying" the priest said looking at Luke.
"Oh, I do" Luke said.
"Here before us Lorelai Victoria Gilmore and Lucas William Danes have proclaimed their vows. What God has united together let no man divide" the priest said.
"And…" Lorelai said.
"And you may kiss the bride" the priest said smiling.
Luke swept Lorelai into a passionate kiss. Everyone stood up clapping and cheering. Isabel squealed in delight from Rory's arms. Lorelai and Luke turned to a smiling Rory and very happy Isabel.

At the reception.
"Now presenting for the first time ever Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Danes" the DJ announced.
Lorelai and Luke entered the reception hall. Everyone cheered. They went out on to the dance floor for their first dance as a married couple.
"You can waltz" Lorelai said.
"I can waltz" Luke said.
They danced for a couple minutes and then the DJ invited the rest of the couples out onto the dance floor. Emily and Richard, Babette and Morey, and Rory and Dean went onto the dance floor. Sookie sat at a table holding Isabel. Jackson came up to her.
"Sookie…I was wondering…if maybe…you'd like to dance?" Jackson asked.
"I'd love too" Sookie said.
"I'll take Izzy" Rory said stopping in front of Sookie. "She can dance with Dean and me"
Sookie handed Isabel to Rory and all of them went out to the dance floor. After dancing for a few minutes Luke came up to Rory and Dean. He tapped Dean on the shoulder. Dean backed away and let Rory dance with Luke. Lorelai took Isabel out of Rory's arms and sat at the table to watch Luke dance with Rory.
"She's growing up" Christopher said coming by Lorelai.
"Rory?" Lorelai asked. "Sometimes I think she was never a child"
It was quiet.
"She loves him like a father, doesn't she?" Christopher asked.
"Chris, didn't you talk to her about this, this morning?" Lorelai asked. "Because she told me that some people don't even get one dad when she's lucky enough to have two"
"Lor, when I showed up at Christmas, I hadn't seen Rory in fifteen years" Christopher said. "What dad misses fifteen years of his kid's life?"
"Listen Christopher, I'm not going to tell you that it's okay that you missed most of Rory's life but I'm not going to say you don't have a right to be called her dad because you do. You have a choice now, Christopher, you can be in this girl's life as much as you can now or you can go back to being the way you were. It's your choice to make" Lorelai said. "No matter what choice you make though, you will always be her dad, maybe you won't be the dad that was there for all of her life but you will still be her dad"
Christopher sighed.
"I think she's better off without me" Christopher said. "Good Luck Lorelai"
Christopher walked off. Lorelai shook her head. She watched Luke dancing with Rory. He was smiling and Rory was laughing.
"How am I going to tell her that her dad walked off again?" Lorelai thought.
She looked down at Izzy.
"Some things are better left for another day" Lorelai said to Izzy.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"So you get to live with all three Gilmore girls now" Rory said while dancing with Luke.
"Don't make me rethink this marriage" Luke said.
Rory laughed.
"We're going to have you wrapped around our fingers" Rory said. "Actually Mom already does"
"She does not" Luke objected.
"When she was pregnant, you went out at three in the morning to buy some pudding and make it for her" Rory said.
"That's because she wouldn't let me sleep until I did" Luke said.
"Like I said, puddy in her hands" Rory said.
"More like she annoys me until I give in," Luke said. "Like mother, like daughter"
"And proud of it" Rory said.
They continued dancing.
"Hey Luke…do you think…maybe…I could call you Dad?" Rory asked.
"Sure" Luke said. "I've actually kind of been hoping you'd ask me that. I always kind of want to tell people you're my daughter even though I have to give your mother all the credit" Luke said.
"I'd like it if you told people I was your daughter" Rory said. "I always wanted to tell the kids that you were my dad"
"Well now you can" Luke said. "But I don't want your other dad to feel like I'm replacing him. I mean he is your dad"
"I know; he's the dad that shows up once or twice a year and sends cards on holidays and birthdays. I mean sure he is my dad and I hope he'll be here a little more but you're the kind of dad that sits with me when I'm sick and shows up with chicken soup. The dad that scares my boyfriend away on my first date, Dean still hasn't fully recovered" Rory said
Luke smiled. Luke and Rory finished dancing and came over to Lorelai and Izzy.
"You two looked like you were having fun" Lorelai said smiling.
"We were" Rory said. "I was reminding Dad what he got into"
"Dad?" Lorelai said smiling.
"Yes…Dad" Rory said smiling.
"Maybe Christopher leaving won't hurt so much now that she has Luke" Lorelai thought.
"Was Dad, not Luke but my other dad, just over here talking to you?" Rory asked,
"Yeah he had to go and he didn't have time to say good bye so he asked me to say good bye to you for him" Lorelai said.
"I'll call him later" Rory said.
"Yeah" Lorelai said. "Later"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Later that night.
"I don't think Christopher is coming back" Lorelai whispered to Luke.
They were lying in bed after coming home at 1:00 AM in the morning.
"What are you talking about?" Luke asked.
"He was pretty upset when he left. He said maybe Rory was better off without him" Lorelai said.
"Are you serious?" Luke asked. "He comes back after 15 years and then just leaves again?"
"At least she has you" Lorelai said.
"Still, I don't replace her real dad" Luke said.
Lorelai sighed.
"Maybe we should talk about this in the morning" Lorelai said. "After all, it is our wedding night"
"We don't want another accident" Luke said. "Unless you're ready to relive the last year"
"No, I do not want to be that fat for at least another year and a half" Lorelai said. "But if we're careful…"
"Yes" Luke said. "Are you okay though? You seemed kind of out of it after Christopher talked to you"
"I just didn't want to have to tell Rory that her dad left again" Lorelai said.
"I don't blame you" Luke said.
It was quiet.
"You know I love you, right?" Lorelai asked.
"Well I'm hoping so, since you just married me less than a day ago" Luke said.
"No I mean it" Lorelai said. "I love you"
"I love you too" Luke said. "That's why I want to spend the rest of my life with you"
"Even with my coffee addiction?" Lorelai asked.
"Even with your coffee addiction" Luke said.
"Good" Lorelai said. "Because I'm going to hold you to that"
"I hope you do" Luke said.
There I finally updated, yea! Hope you like the chapter and for those who guessed Rachel was the person, congratulations. It may have seemed like I cut the Rachel part short but I had to add some drama to the wedding. I'm also sorry if my writing hasn't been so well, between school and everything I haven't had time to really concentrate on my writing.
