Chapter 7- A Best Man

A few nights later, Luke and Lorelai were sitting on Lorelai's couch watching a movie.

"So, have you talked to Jess yet?" Lorelai brought up casually.

"Um, no, not yet," Luke replied.

"Luke," Lorelai whined, "You have to talk to him."

"I know. I will. Eventually," Luke said. Lorelai, who was leaning against Luke with his arm around her, pushed herself off of Luke.

"Now," she stated, pausing the movie.

"Lorelai," Luke started, turning to Luke at her. Big mistake. As soon as Luke looked at her, Lorelai began to pout.

"Please, Luke?" Lorelai asked, her eyes wide.

"Aw geez," Luke said with a sigh. "Fine. Where's the phone?"

I have got to learn to say no to that pout, Luke thought.

"Yay!" Lorelai exclaimed with a smile.

The pout never fails, she thought mischievously. She reached behind her to grab the portable phone and hand it to Luke. Luke looked down at the phone in his hands.

"He's gonna say no," Luke said quietly, turning his head to look at his beautiful fiancée.

"Aw, hon," Lorelai said, putting her hand over Luke's. "He's not going to say no. If he says no, I'll march right down to-uh, wherever he lives these days and I'll- uh, beat him up." Lorelai squeezed Luke's hand and tried to sound tough.

"That sounded convincing," Luke said sarcastically.

"I know. But, really, he won't say no. Not after all you've done for him," Lorelai said earnestly. Luke looked into her bright, reassuring eyes and began to dial.

"Hello?" Jess's voice came over the phone.

"Hey, Jess, it's Luke,"

"Oh, uh, hey Luke. What's up?" Jess asked, sounding a little confused.

"Well, uh, Lorelai and I are, uh, getting married." Luke said. He sounded uncomfortable, because he didn't like asking for favors, but he was unable to contain his grin just talking about the engagement.

"Wow. So you finally got the girl, huh?" Jess asked. He could practically hear Luke smiling on the other end of the phone.

"Yea. I did." Luke responded, giving the very curious Lorelai's hand a squeeze. "So, I-we, were wondering if you would, uh, be our best man. I know it's not really your thing but-,"

"Sure," Jess replied, interrupting what was soon to become babbling.

"I'm sorry. What?" Luke asked in disbelief.

"I said sure. I'll do it. It's no big deal."

"Wow. Thanks Jess. That really means a lot to me. To both of us." Luke said, shooting a grin at Lorelai, who smiled back.

"Yea, well, I'm happy for you," Jess said sincerely. "At least one of us got the girl of our dreams. I gotta go. I'll talk to you later?"

Luke smiled. "Yea, I'll talk to you soon."

"Ok. And tell Lorelai congratulations for me, okay?"

"Yea. I will. Thanks Jess," Luke said as he hung up the phone, still smiling. Lorelai was barely able to contain her curiosity as Luke hung up the phone.

"What did he say? What did he say?" Lorelai begged like a four-year-old.

"He said yes," Luke said with a grin. "And he wanted me to tell you congratulations for him."

"Aw, that was nice," Lorelai smiled at Luke, glad to see him so happy that Jess agreed.

"Okay. So we have the maid of honor and the best man. Now all we need is to find me a dress, get you a tux, pick a location, set a date, plan the honeymoon, find a place for the reception, and send out invitations."

"Oh, is that all, Crazy Lady?" Luke asked sarcastically before leaning in to give Lorelai a lingering kiss.

"Actually," Luke realized, pulling back from the kiss, "there is one other thing."

"And what would that be?" Lorelai asked.

"You need someone to walk you down the aisle."

"Oh. Right." Lorelai stated. "Well, um-," Luke took her hand.

"Lorelai, you should ask your father," Luke told her reasonably.

"I can't ask him. My parents aren't exactly supportive of this whole wedding thing."

"I know. But Lorelai, He's your father. And you are his only daughter. And this is your wedding. He's going to want to give you away."

"Luke-," Lorelai began in her whiny, I'm-about-to-pout face.

"Hey. I may not have the pout, but I do have the coffee," Luke warned.

"You wouldn't dare!" Lorelai said with a gasp at the thought of losing her coffee.

"Try me." Luke challenged.

"Fine! We'll ask him," Lorelai caved. "But you owe me a huge cup of coffee, mister."

"Yea, yea," Luke said, giving Lorelai another kiss. "We'll see."

Figuring it was better to ask Lorelai's father in person, Luke and Lorelai pulled up outside the Gilmore mansion the next night.

"It'll be fine," Luke reassured Lorelai.

"That's what you said last time. Remember what happened last time?" Lorelai pointed out.

"Good point. But I think this is something that you need to do. And I'll be right here with you." Luke said, while pulling a very reluctant Lorelai up to the door and ringing the bell.

"You know, if I didn't love you so much, I would really hate you right about now," Lorelai said.

"Because that makes a ton of sense," Luke replied, rolling his eyes joking just as the door swung open. Lorelai looked up, her eyes wide.

"Uh, hi dad."
