Lorelai had just dropped off her eldest children at school. Alyson was sleeping in her arms. She walked into the Inn. She set Alyson down in her playpen, careful not wake her up.

Lorelai, then, headed towards the kitchen. In desperate need of a cup of coffee.

"Sookie?" Lorelai called.

"I'm over here!" Sookie called.

"Where?" Lorelai asked.

"Over Here!"

"Marco."

"Polo."

Lorelai then saw Sookie and walked over to her. She was sitting on the floor.

"Do we have any coffee?" Lorelai asked.

"Ya, I just made a fresh pot." Sookie said.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Rough morning?" Sookie asked, standing up.

"Dakota wouldn't stop crying, Dylan and Kayla wouldn't stop fighting, Rory was freaking out because she didn't think that she studied enough for her test today and Alyson wouldn't let me put her down." Lorelai said.

"Wow. That is a rough morning."

"It's not the bad though. I'm used to handling it by now." Lorelai said.

"Ya, it just seems like a lot of work."

"It is. But it's all worth it." Lorelai said. Starting to smile.

"Ya, I bet." Sookie said.

"You still willing to take my kids tonight?" Lorelai asked. She was going on a date with Luke and she wanted to make sure that Sookie would still watch her kids.

"Of course! I can't wait. Jackson is going to help me watch them." Sookie said handing Lorelai a cup of coffee.

"You and Jackson seem to be getting pretty serious." Lorelai said.

"Ya. It's so exciting." Sookie said.

"I'm going to go check on Aly. I'll see you later." Lorelai said and walked out of the kitchen.

Lorelai walked back to the front desk to see that Alyson was stll sleeping.

'She looks so peaceful when she sleeps.' Lorelai thought to herself. When she was done admiring her youngest daughter she got back to work.

Later that day...

Lorelai was walking to Stars Hollow Elemantary with Alyson holding her hand.

"Mommy!" The children yelled when they saw Lorelai!

"Hey! How was your day at school?" Lorelai asked.

All 3 children started talking at the same time.

"Woh, Woh. Hold your horses." Lorelai said.

"Sorry Mommy." Dylan said.

"No, it's fine. Just tell me one at a time." Lorelai said with a smile.

Dylan smiled. His mommy could always make him smile.

The rest of the way home was all 4 Danes children talking about what they did today.

"It sounds like you all had very busy days." Lorelai concluded.

"Yes!" Dakota said.

"Ommy! Me ungry." Alyson said.

"Do you want a little snack before you go to Auntie Sookie's?" Lorelai asked.

"Yes" All 4 children said.

Lorelai took out some pieces of bread that she had in the cupboard, and the jelly that was in the fridge.

"How about jelly sandwiches?" Lorelai asked. Considering that was one of the only things that she could make.

The children nodded.

"Jelly sandwiches it is!" Lorelai exclaimed.

After everyone had finished their sandwiches, Lorelai drove them all to Sookie's house.

"Sookie, we're here." Lorelai called after opening the door.

"Hello Lorelai. Hello kids!" Sookie exclaimed when she saw them in the doorway.

"Auntie Sookie." the kids shouted. They always had fun at Auntie Sookie's!

"I promise I won't be late. 10 at the latest. You already know when they should be in bed. If you need anything call me." Lorelai said.

"Lorelai, it will be fine." Sookie said.

"I know. I just want to make sure." Lorelai said.

Lorelai headed back home and got ready for her date. She was almost done her make up when she heard Luke opening the front door.

'He's always on time! Can't he ever try to be late for once!' Lorelai said in her head.

"Lorelai, I know you're not done getting ready but I forgot that I didn't have any dress pants in my old apartment so I had to come back here." Luke said, walking into their bedroom.

"Oh, that's okay." Lorelai said.

Luke found the dress pants he was looking for and Lorela finished her make up.

"Okay, I'm ready. Let's go." Lorelai said walking downstairs.

"Let's go." Luke said.

Luke drove Lorelai to a little Italian place in Hartford.

"Wow. This place looks nice." Lorelai said.

"Yes, and so do you." Luke said.

"Thanks. You don't look terrible yourself." Lorelai said.

They both leaned into each other, from the two ends of the table, and lightly kissed.

"Now that we're done reminding me how gorgeous I am. I think that we could order." Lorelai said.

"Let me order for you. I came here before. I know what all of the good food is." Luke said.

"We're married for 8 years and you're still trying to impress me." Lorelai said.

"Is it still working?" Luke asked.

"It will always work." Lorelai said.

Luke and Lorelai then ordered their food. The food came very fast at this place. Before they knew what was happening, their food was being placed in front of them.

"Enjoy." The waitress said, then walked away.

"This looks delicious!" Lorelai said.

"It does."

They started eating their food.

"It tastes delicious!" Lorelai said.

"See, you should let me order for you more often."

"Ya, ya ,ya." Lorelai said as she swollowed a mouth full of food, "Maybe we should bring the kids here."

"Do you think that would be wise?" Luke asked.

"They are very good kids. But they can get a little our of hand." Lorelai said. Debating with herself.

"They are extremely good kids. We will bring them sometime."

"Yes, we will." Lorelai said with a smile.

Luke and Lorelai finished their meals and payed the bill. They drove home in comfortable silence. Lorelai grabbed onto Luke's hand that was on his arm rest. The held hands the rest of the way home.

At about 9:50 Lorelai and Luke pulled into Sookie's driveway. Lorelai opened the door with the emergancy key that Sookie hid outside on her porch. She didn't want to ring the dorbell, just incase the kids were asleep.

When Lorelai walked in she saw Sookie sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Hey Lorelai," Sookie said when she saw Lorelai walk through the door , "How was you're date?"

"It was amazing. He brought me to this amazing Italian resteraunt. It was nice." Lorelai said. "How were the kids?"

"They were very good. At about 7:30 though Aly started crying saying 'I want mommy.' But we calmed her down and she was fine after that." Sookie said.

"Thank you, Sookie. For everything" Lorelai said as she walked into the guest room.

She saw all 4 of her youngest children sleeping on one bed.

"They look so.. so.. peaceful." Sookie said as she walked in.

"Yes, they do." Lorelai said. Admiring her children. "Would you help me bring them to the van?" Lorelai asked.

"Sure. I'll go get Jackson to help too." Sookie walked out of the room.

After Lorelai, Sookie and Jackson got all 4 kids in the van. Lorelai and Luke drove off towards their house.

Lorelai and Luke got all 4 children into bed. When they got home they saw Rory sitting on the couch studying.

"What? There's only 3 days left of school and they're still cramming tests on you?" Lorelai asked.

"Ya. I still have 2 more tomorrow." Rory said.

"I should go up to the headmaster and give him a piece of my mind. You should not have to work this hard on the last week of school." Lorelai said.

"Okay, you go do that then." Rory said. Knowing that her mother wouldn't do that. Well at least not this time. She had in the past though.

"Well, maybe not now. But eventually, I will go." Lorelai said.

"Ya, that's what I thought."

"Hey, do not underestimate me. I could go kick Headmaster Charlstons ass if I wanted too!" Lorelai said.

"Ya, ya. Keep dreaming." Rory said.

"Since you mentioned dreaming, I'm going to go to bed. Leaving you alone to study!" Lorelai said.

"Finally, some peace and quiet."

"I love you, too. Now don't stay up to late." Lorelai said.

"Don't worry I won't. Goodnight Mom."

"Goodnight Rory."

Lorelai kissed Rory's head then walked upstairs.

She went into Alyson and Dakota's room. By some bizarre turn of fate, neither of them had woken up since they left Sookie's. Lorelai kissed both of their heads and started to walk out of the room. She needed to go check on Micheala and Dylan.

"Mommy?" A tiny voice said. Lorelai walked over to the bed.

"Yes, sweetie-pie?"

"I missed you when I was at Sookie's" Dakota said.

"I know sweetie. But Daddy and I went out for supper." Lorelai tried to explain.

"But, I was sad." Dakota said.

"Come her, pumpkin." Lorelai said as she pickde up Dakota and started rocking her from side to side, seeing if she would go back to sleep.

"Daddy and I just went there to see if the food was good enough for you." Lorelai said.

"Really?" Dakota asked.

"Really. And we're going to bring you there. We just wanted to make sure that the food was good for you." Lorelai said.

"Okay" Dakota said.

"Now, you go back to bed." Lorelai said, "It's way past your bedtime."

Lorelai set Dakota down and started to walk away.

"No mommy. Don't go. Lay with me." Dakota said.

"Okay sweetie." Lorelai said.

The instant Lorelai laid down Dakota cuddled up to her. Lorelai put one arm around Lily's waist.

"Goodnight mommy." Dakota whispered.

"Goodnight, sweetie."

Lorelai finally got Dakota to fall asleep. After, she made sure that she was asleep she went to check on Kayla and Dylan. She kissed them both on the head. Neither of them woke up.

Lorelai walked back to her room. She saw look sitting on the bed with the sports channel on.

"Dakota woke up." Lorelai said as she walked into the room.

"What?" Luke asked.

"Dakota woke up and told me that she was sad when we were gone. She said that she missed me." Lorelai said. "But I got her to go back to sleep. And I told her that we were going to bring her there to eat sometime, too. I think that's what won her over." Lorelai said.

"How about the other 4?" Luke asked.

"Rory's downstairs studying her butt off, and Kayla, Aly and Dylan are sleeping." Lorelai said.

"That's good." Luke said.

"Don't you ever just stop and observe the kids. They are always so happy." Lorelai said.

"That's because you're their mother." Luke said.

"No. They're just so.. so perfect." Lorelai said.

"They are the most beautiful and perfect kids in the world." Luke said sincerly.

"They are." Lorelai said.

They sat in confortable silence for a few seconds.

"You know the discussion we had last night." Lorelai asked.

"Yes..." Luke said, wondering what Lorelai was getting at.

"Okay, I know that having 22 kids is INSANE. So, we don't have to have 22 kids if you don't want." Lorelai said.

"I would have 22 kids in a heartbeat. You know that. But having 5 is a handful, let alone 22." Luke said.

"Maybe we don't need 22. Maybe we just need 6." Lorelai said.

"You mean having one more kid?" Luke asked.

"Ya, why not?" Lorelai asked.

"You are seriously, and soberly asking me to have one more kid with you?" Luke asked.

"Yes I am." Lorelai said.

A/N: Okay. So I need your opinions. Should Luke and Lorelai have one more kid? Or is 5 enough? I wrote chapters for both. So it's up to you. So PLEASE review and tell me what you want to happen.

A/N 2: I realized as I was writing this chapter that the kids would be one grade younger then I put. Considering the year was ending, not starting.
