3:15 in the morning. 3:15 in the morning… when was the last time Lorelai Gilmore was awake at 3:15 in the morning? She had no clue. Lorelai slowly rolled over, still in Luke's arms. Lorelai didn't know why she was awake; frankly, she didn't even know that there was a 3 o'clock in the morning. Luke's face was buried in the pillow, his hands securely around Lorelai and her stomach. It was amazing to her, she thought, her and Luke have almost been married for almost three years now, after a while, she expected to get tired, and bored of waking up to the same man everyday, well, that's what she thought when she was younger, but Luke, was… Luke. Luke never got old, sure, his schedule was almost the exact same thing every day, and he still surprised her. Lorelai thought back, to before Luke and Lorelai were a 'Luke and Lorelai'. Everyone was right, for eight years, Luke had a thing for her, she had a thing for him, but she never, really, saw it. She knew deep inside, that he would always be there for her and Rory, but if her and Luke got together, and couldn't work it out, she would loose her best friend, and she was scared of being lost, of not having her helping hand when ever she needed it.

(Pre-Gilmore season)"Hey" Luke said rounding the corner.

"Cut the chit-chat mister, burger, coffee, and pie… quick, quick please!" Lorelai pleaded. Luke rolled his eyes and focused on the little eight-year-old sitting on the stool next to her. Blue eyes, brown hair and spitting image of her mother, along, with Luke's disliking, Lorelai's food tastes.

"Me too please!" Rory said and imitated her mother by putting her elbows on the counter.

Luke poured coffee for Lorelai and turned around the corner to make the food. It was about nine o'clock, and why an eight year old was up eating mounds of junk food at this time concerned Luke on so many levels.

"Hey what about me?" Rory asked when Luke turned around.

"What?" Luke and Lorelai asked at the same time.

"Coffee please" Rory said with a loveable smile.

"Really!" Lorelai squealed. "I thought you said coffee smelled yucky!"

"Yes it does, Rory, you do not want to put that crap inside of your body"

"Go away" Lorelai and waved her and in the other direction

"I'm just trying to help" Luke said and raised his hands in his defense.

"Duke" Lorelai warned and Luke turned around very fast ignoring the nickname.

"Since when do you want coffee?"

"Please" Rory begged and pouted.

"Yah, sure, I mean, I'm not complaining… surprised, that's all, but very proud" She smiled, there was no way Luke would give Rory a cup of coffee so she just handed Rory hers.

(…Two hours later.)

"Luke!" Lorelai screamed in the phone.

"What?" He yelled, obviously just woken up.

"Rory is wired, oh my gosh, she wont stop jumping up and down, I don't know what to do, I mean I know you're not the father type, calm down the children honey-type guy, but I need some one to help me strap that kid down or something because she wont stop-"

"I'll be right there" Luke said and hung up the phone.

Lorelai smiled. He was always there. She loved him so much, she could only hope her kids were like him in every way… except the coffee-hating, anti-town-event, health guru part of him. Lorelai pulled the blanket over her tighter and drifted off to sleep smiling.

(Pre-Gilmore Season) Lorelai was sitting, tapping at the counter; she was annoyed that Rory was late, she hated that, her first day of junior high, and she was late getting to the diner.

Rory walked in some five minutes later and joined her mother at the counter; she looked like she was on the verge of tears.

"Rory what's the matter?" Lorelai asked and lightly touched her shoulder.

"Stupid people, stupid life, stupid… just everything" She said and put her head in her hands.

"What happened?"

"There's a stupid guy at school, he's such a jerk, ugh, I need coffee" She said and looked at the counter top.

"Luke coffee" Lorelai yelled and Luke appeared with the coffee pot after giving another customer some coffee.

"What's with her?" He asked gesturing over to Rory

"A bully at school" Lorelai said, and got a look from Rory.

"A bully? Oh come on Rory, you know that you're better than them, don't listen to a bully, they're just jealous that they're not as smart as you"

Rory smiled a little, it was funny how Luke still treated Rory as a kid.

"Ahh" Lorelai jumped at the alarm going off.

"Whoa" Luke said and turned off the alarm.

"I was having a dream, stupid alarm clock" She said and put the pillow over her head. Luke looked outside,

"I guess we should cancel Jay's day with Davey, it's a storm out there…" Lorelai looked distant… a storm eh?

(Season 4-ish)"Rain, rain go away, come again another day… yah-de-yah-yah." Lorelai sang annoyingly.

"Shut up" Luke said. They were stuck under a tree at Liz' wedding that had been interrupted by a rainstorm, just after nine o'clock. Kirk, scared he was going to get hit by lighting… even if there was no lightning, decided to ditch the CD player and let the music keep playing.

-Its undeniable...that we should be together...
Its unbelievable how I used to say that I'd fall never

"Hey, you wanna, dance?" Luke asked

"Umm, Luke, it's raining"

"I know, but" Luke looked at Lorelai and at himself, they were already dripping wet.

"Sure Luke, I'd love to dance" Lorelai said and smiled.

-The basis you need to know, if you don't know just how I feel,
then let me show you now that I'm for real...
If all things in time, time will reveal...
Yeah...

Luke and Lorelai went in the middle of the dance floor, in the pouring rain, and started dancing.

- One...your like a dream come true...

Two... jus wanna be with you...

Three... girl its plain to see...that your the only one for me...

Four...repeat steps one to three...

Five... make you fall in love with me...

If ever I believe our work is done...then I start Back at One.(yeah)

Lorelai was doing her absolute best to avoid eye contact with Luke. She knew… everyone in the town, Rory, her mother, everyone was right, Luke had a thing for her, and she had a thing for him.

- So Incredible...the way things work themselves out...

And all emotional, once you know that its all about babe...

And undesirable...for us to be apart...

Never would of made it very far...

Cause you know that you got the keys to my heart

Cause...

Luke was trying to look away from Lorelai, but he couldn't, her make-up, washed away from the rain, her hair weighted down and wet from the rain, he couldn't stop looking at her.

- One...your like a dream come true

Two... jus wanna be with you

Three... girl its plain to see..that your the only one for me

Four...repeat steps one to three

Five... make you fall in love with me

If ever I believe our work is done...then I start Back at One...

Lorelai had given up by this point; she looked at Luke, who was staring at her intensely. She couldn't help but blush, but she couldn't stop looking at him. She didn't care that the whole town was probably staring at the two dancing in the rain, she couldn't even think of it tonight, right now, as she feels Luke pull her closer to him. She had felt butterflies in her stomach around him before… but now; she felt like she was flying, she couldn't control the wide smile growing across her face. She listened to the lyrics and started, very, very softly humming the next part.

- Say farewell to the dark night...I see the coming of the sun...

I feel like a little child..whose life has jus begun...

You came and reached into the light,

Into this lonely heart of mine...

She didn't know he could hear her humming the words.

"You know this song?" He whispered into her ear.

"Yah, I love this song" She smiled. She wasn't a big country fan, but she loved this song, she instantly fell in love with it the first time she heard it

"Sing it then"

"Pfft, in your dreams burger boy" She laughed

- You threw out the life line...just in the Nick of Tiimmmeeee...

"Come on"

"Not in this life time" She smiled.

And before she new it, very, very quietly she felt Luke whispering in her ear the rest of the lyrics.

"One, you're like a dream come true, Two, just wanna be with you, three girl it's plain to see, that you're the only one for me, girl and, four, repeat steps one to three, five, make you fall in love with me, if ever I believe our work is done, then I start back at one"

By the time Luke finished with the song, Lorelai's legs were jelly and she couldn't stop grinning ear to ear. Luke leaned in to kiss Lorelai; this was his moment, although, as if on cue, thunder pounded threw the sky's causing both to jump apart. Everyone ran to houses as fast as they could avoiding the lightning. Lorelai and Luke ducked into the diner.

"Lorelai?" Luke asked and sat next to Lorelai.

"Right, right, what?"

"Huh?" Luke asked confused.

"What?" Lorelai asked laughing

"Well, I'm confused now" Luke said "I'm going to go to the diner, make sure no one burned down the place, and then I'll be back, you need anything?"

"Can you make me breakfast?" Lorelai said and fluttered her eyelashes.

"Sure, Rory called and she said she'll be here in ten minutes"

"Okay" Lorelai smiled, Rory loved taking care of Jay, and any day she had a day off she either spent it with Matt or Jay, and today, she was going to take Jay all day and let Lorelai and Luke have some 'alone time'.

Thunder and Jay's cry interrupted her thoughts.

(Continuation of last flashback) Lorelai and Luke looked out the diner at the pouring rain after their dance and ducking into the diner.

"This is worse than the Day After Tomorrow!" Lorelai explained and collapsed on the chair behind her.

"Doesn't the whole world end in that movie or something?" Luke asked and joined her at the table. The diner was completely empty, it was past 10:00 and most sane people were at home watching the storm, but Lorelai and Luke were stuck in the diner.

"No, actually, at first you think the whole world is going to end, you know with the boat going down the street, although, actually, the boat doesn't make you think the world is going to end, it just makes you laugh, because it looks ridiculous to see a boat going down a street…"

"No, never mind, forget I asked" Luke said annoyed with Lorelai's babbling.

"Then… at the end of the movie, they are all in Mexico, and I was like… cha? How did that happen? The world was ending a minute ago… I thought it was very confusing."

"Sounds it, but I don't think this storm right here is going to end the world." Luke said and smiled, Lorelai however had a worried expression on her face. "What?"

"I'm scared"

"About what? It's just rain, and a little bit of thunder."

"I hate thunder storms" Lorelai said and jumped at the load noise outside. Lorelai looked like she was on the verge of tears she was so scared.

"Calm down" Luke said and walked over to her, putting his arm around her. Lorelai leaned her head against his chest. They were sitting there like that for about a minute when Lorelai raised her head to look at Luke

"Thanks" Lorelai said

"You okay now?" Luke asked calmly.

"Yah, thanks, again" Lorelai smiled. Normally, now would be the time that the guy would take his arm off from around the girl, but Luke was lost, staring into Lorelai's gaze. She stood up, with Luke's arm still around her, so she was level with his face. The thunder made Lorelai jump, giving Luke a good chance to pull her closer. Their faces were inches apart. They stood staring at each other, almost uncertain of what to do next.

"Want some coffee?" Luke asked not sure of what to say. Lorelai smiled.

"You know what I really want?" She asked, almost teasing him.

"What do you really want?" Luke asked, with a little of a smile and a confused look on his face.

"I want you to kiss me" Lorelai said, their faces were now so close, Luke could feel Lorelai's breath on his face, he didn't waste anytime, he kissed her hard on the lips. She responded by rapping her arms around his neck. To Lorelai, right now, she couldn't care less about the thunder roaring outside, or the wind blowing on trees causing branches to fall outside, right now, she felt safe, and she knew that Luke was the only on that could protect her, and Love her, he was the only one… the one for her, forever

"No don't worry about it, I'll get it in tomorrow" Rory said as she climbed the stairs, chatting on the phone. "Yah, bye"

"Hey Rory" Lorelai said, Rory went over to hug her.

"Hey Mom" Lorelai raised an eyebrow… "What?"

"Come on, look at me, and make a comment on how fat I am"

"Mom, you're giving birth to twins in like a month… you're not supposed to look like a supermodel."

"What if I was a pregnant supermodel, then would I look like a supermodel?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?" Lorelai smiled, she loved confusing people.

"Okay, what ever, I'm going to take Jay shopping with me, buy him a toy, and then buy the new twins a present, and I'll take him to daycare, then I'll be back"

"What about me?" Lorelai asked with puppy dog eyes

"The day to yourself"

"Alrighty" She smiled and Rory kissed her on the cheek.

"Make Luke take you out for diner or something while I'm gone"

"I'll do my best" Lorelai shouted as her daughter disappeared behind the door.

(first date)"Hi" Lorelai said as she opened the door. The person on the other side wasn't the usual Luke Danes. The flannel was gone, replaced with a dress shirt, the hat, gone, and Lorelai saw his hair neatly combed back, and for the first time in a while, Luke's face was visible, without the stubble.

"Hey" Luke replied. Lorelai looked more beautiful than ever. She was wearing a knee length black dress with her hair down and curly. He smiled, she always looked beautiful, but for tonight, he thought, she was dressed up because of him, because they were going on a date, and that thought made Luke smile more.

"So…" Lorelai said uncomfortably.

"So…" Luke matched her tone.

"We should go" Lorelai said.

"Right, we should" Luke said and turned around, Lorelai shut her door and followed Luke down the front porch stairs, her heels, however, had a mind of their own when her right foot missed the last step, causing her to fall forward almost knocking Luke down. Luke turned around just in time to catch her, and help her stand strait again.

"Well, that wasn't embarrassing" Lorelai blushed and avoided eye contact with Luke, Luke smiled and with his right index finger brought her face to meat his gaze.

"Did I tell you that you look beautiful tonight?" This cause Lorelai to blush even more, but Luke's finger was not letting her turn her head away. So she smiled and rapped her arms around his neck.

"You don't look too shabby yourself" Lorelai smiled and gave Luke a short, but meaningful kiss on the lips.

Lorelai did a soft laugh to herself thinking about that. It was about 4 years ago, and she still got butterflies when she was with him, she still felt like she would fall down the stairs around him, he was perfect.

(Season 5 ish) Luke had it all planned out. He had the ring in his pocket, dinner reservations set and the girl on the other side of the door. It was going to be the perfect night. After knocking on the door three or four times Lorelai opened the door. She was balancing on the doorframe and putting a shoe on her left foot.

"Okay, I'm ready, let's go" She said and pecked him on the lips. She smiled her million dollar smile at him, it took everything Luke had not to get down on one knee and propose right there to her, but, he reminded him self, you have a plan.

The night went by all too fast for Luke, he was so nervous about asking Lorelai that many times he would blank out while she was talking. Lorelai was clearly getting frustrated, being ignored so she just stopped talking.

"Sorry, just keep talking, I wasn't paying attention, now I am"

"No it's okay, I'm done what I was saying" Lorelai lied and focused on eating her meal.

"Lorelai come on, please"

"Can we just please go home" Luke felt like an idiot, all evening he was distracted, he was planning on proposing, but he couldn't now because she was mad at him.

The drive back was silent; Luke decided to make a little change in the plan, taking a turn off the highway.

"Where are we going?" Lorelai asked looking around, they were driving threw a winding road in a forest. Lorelai was fascinated, she didn't look so mad anymore. They pulled up to a little clearing by a lake. "Wha-?" Before she could finish Luke was pulling her next to the lake.

"This evening hasn't really worked how I was planning on," Luke started, still holding Lorelai's hands, "I had a plan, it was all planned out, and it didn't exactly work as planned" Lorelai's face was priceless, she looked confused, shocked, sad, happy, mad… and about one hundred other emotions, but all Luke could focus on was her eyes. They were a very light blue, being lit up by the moon shining above them.

"Luke-" Lorelai asked looking for an explanation.

Luke, still holding her hands got down on a knee. "Lorelai, I love you, and I will always love you, everything about you, well, except for your coffee addiction and junk food obsession," By this time Lorelai's eyes were filled up with tears, she knew what he was doing and she couldn't stand properly, she felt that if Luke wasn't holding her hands she would have passed out by now. "Lorelai Gilmore, will you marry me?" Lorelai had tears running down her face by now and was visibly shaking. She looked up at the stars to avoid Luke's glance. A shooting star went by.

She smiled and pulled him up to her level, "Of course I'll marry you" She said and rapped her arms around him

"Thank god" He smiled and pulled her away log enough to put the ring on her finger.

By the time Luke got home, Lorelai was already, with difficulty, dressed with hair and make-up done. She realized it, but now it was hitting her, she was going to have four kids. Sure, one was already moved out and going on with her own life, but four kids, that was just crazy.

:) I hope you liked it, it was like 10 pages long, I was going to make it longer but… eh… it wouldn't make sense if in the middle of the chapter I skipped ahead a month and we were in the waiting room wanting to know the genders of the twins… I'll save that for next chapter, Mia will be in the next chapter, and there will be more dialogue. So I hope you enjoyed, pretty please review :)
