Hey, I'm back! And on Thursday, just like I promised! Lol. This will probably be my last chapter for a week or so, but it'll be summer soon so I'll be able to update. I hope you guys are liking the story! I'm always up for suggestions if you've got 'em. Thanks to everyone who reviewed my last chapter, the reviews were great and I really appreciate them. If you didn't review, review after this chapter please! I'm not getting a ton of reviews for this one, and it's making me kinda sad!
Also, please find the time to read and review my other stories, The Incredible Sinking Luke, and The Whole Package. I also have a oneshot that I should be putting out within the week. It's called over my head, and here's the summary for ya:
Their world was falling apart. They were losing each other, and they both knew it. Is it too late to find their way back? I know, it sounds sad, but I'm a diehard JJ, so trust me. Lol
Also, I haven't been doing this much:
Disclaimer: Guess what guys? This may come as a shocker, but I don't own GG!
Thanks to TheCarbyLover, who gave me the idea for a wedding shower way back in the beginning!
Chapter 6- Time for a Shower
"Luke! You are such a lair! You said no more suprises" Lorelai exclaimed as the square came into view.
"What?" Luke asked innocently. "This town has crazy festivals all the time."
"Uh, yea, Luke, but they generally don't involve the entire town standing under a huge sign that says 'Congratulations Luke and Lorelai.'"
"Well, what makes you think I had anything to do with this?" Luke asked. Lorelai just stared at him in silence, waiting for him to cave. Luke sighed.
"Okay, but all I did was get you out of town. Rory and Sookie planned the whole thing," Luke explained.
Well, that would explain why he was so anxious to get of the phone earlier when he saw me, Lorelai thought.
Luke parked in front of the diner, then went around to help Lorelai out of the car, being the perfect gentleman that he is. They made their way over to the square, where wveryone was cheering and applauding for them. Lane's band was playing, and there was enough food, courtesy of Sookie, to feed an army.
Rory came running up to Luke and Lorelai. Lorelai embraced her daughter in a huge hug.
"Are you surprised? Do you like it?" Rory asked.
"Oh Rory, you are one amazing kid," Lorelai said.
Rory turned to Luke and greeted him with a hug as well.
"So you tricked her again, huh? That's gotta be a record?" Luke just smiled. "Congratulations, Luke," Rory continued, "I can't wait for you to be my dad- officially." Luke's smile widened.
You gotta love those Gilmore Girls, he thought. Lorelai also smiled at Rory, and took Luke's hand in hers.
We may not be the average family, Lorelai thought, but we're definitely going to ba a happy one.
Lorelai and Luke made their way over to the two huge chairs set up, surrounded by dozens of presents. They sat down comfortably, hand-in-hand. The townsfolk came up to the happy couple, wishing them the best of luck.
"Jeez, it took you two long enough!" Babette exclaimed as she and Miss Patty approached the pair. Luke shot a look at Lorelai, a little confused.
"I'm sorry?" Lorelai asked. The confusion was mutual.
"Well, come on honey, we all always knew you two were meant for each other," Miss Patty explained.
Lorelai met Luke's eyes and they both smiled slightly.
"Yea, and Luke's been pining for you for years!" The ever blunt Babette exclaimed.
"Aw, jeez," Luke sighed, breaking Lorelai's gaze and looking down. Lorelai adored this shy side of Luke. She thought it was just too cute. She gave his hand a little squeeze, to let him know that she was glad he had been pining, because Lorelai was a little slower when it came to recognizing her feelings.
"Uh, thanks, guys" Lorelai said to Babette and Miss Patty, who were moving along to let everyone else have a chance to talk to Luke and Lorelai.
Rory stood by the gazebo, watching Luke and Lorelai. They had been hand-in-hand the whole time, and their smiles hadn't left their faces, which was quite a record for Luke.
Watching them, Rory knew they were happy. They were perfect together, in every sense of the word. Sure they had the occasional disagreement, just like any other couple, but Lorelai just wasn't Lorelai without Luke, and Luke wasn't really Luke without Lorelai. As cheesy as it may be, they completed each other. Rory had never seen her mom this happy, and she had never been happier for her.
Sookie came over to Rory and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm glad they found each other," Sookie said.
"Tell me about it, Rory replied.
"I think this is the happiest I've ever seen them. Luke's even smiling!" Sookie exclaimed. Rory smiled at the happy couple.
"When it's right, it's right," Rory responded.
All the townsfolk had given their congratulations to the couple, and had left Luke and Lorelai alone.
"I'm gonna go get a drink," Luke said, rising from his chair. "Do you want one?"
"Yes, please," Lorelai replied sweetly, watching him walk away. Lorelai looked around at the party, now in full swing. She glanced to the dark, closed up diner. Lorelai could remember her and Max's engagement party a few years back. She had been sitting in almost the exact same spot, looking at the same diner. Only this time, she didn't have to go over to the diner and beg Luke to come out to the party. This time, he was part of the reason for the party. Lorelai would never have to ask him to join in on the important parts of her life. He would already be there, because it's going to be the important parts of their lives now, not just her's.
Thinking back to that engagement party, Lorelai knew why this was different, and why she wanted Luke their so badly last time. She had never really loved Max. Or anyone else for that matter. Except for Luke. It had always been Luke, and it always would be.
Luke returned to his seat and handed Lorelai her drink. Lorelai scooted her chair closer to Luke's, and rested her hand on his knee. Luke wrapped his arm around her, pulling her even closer to him. Lorelai laid her head on Luke's shoulder, and he leaned down and kissed to top of her head. They sat like that for a while, just watching the party and enjoying each other's company.
