Lorelai walked downstairs and knocked on Rorys door. When she received confirmation to go in she went in and sat on Rory's bed.

"Hey kid, how you doing?" She asked her daughter, who came and sat next to her on the bed.

"I'm doing great." Rory grinned.

"Are you sure?" Lorelai looked right into her face, "because, sweets, I understand that this is a lot to take in."

"No seriously, I love this." Rory said convincing Lorelai.

"Ok, but if you need to talk about anything at any time you come straight to me, ok?"

"Ok."

"Any questions?" Lorelai asked her.

Rory paused to think, "Yeah, actually I do have one."

"Shoot."

"What's going to happen between you and Luke?"

"Ummm, I don't know really."

"Can I ask another question?" Rory asked her.

"You can ask as many as you want." Lorelai assured her.

"What do you want to happen between you and Luke?" Rory rephrased her previous question slightly.

"God, kid, cutting straight to it aren't you?" Lorelai replied letting out a breath, she then paused and said, "I'm going to tell you something and you aren't going to bring it up ever again, ok? Well I do want something to happen between me and Luke." Lorelai emphasised the work something.

"Well that's obvious." Rory said.

"What? How is that obvious?" Lorelai asked, shocked by the response, she herself was expecting shock, so it was a huge shock to be feeling it.

"Everyone knows that you have a crush on Luke, everyone except maybe Kirk. And everyone, including Kirk, knows that Luke has a crush on you." Rory explained.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah." Rory nodded lying back on her bed and Lorelai lay down beside her, "I love you, Mum." Rory said.

"I love you too kid, and do you know what I love Logan and Will too."

"So do I." Rory replied, "now go."

"What?" Lorelai sat up, "is that how you treat the mother?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.

"If you stay, you will fall asleep, go to bed."

"You're right. Goodnight, sweets." She gave Rory a kiss on the cheek and then left.

Lorelai returned upstairs to find Luke passed out on her bed. After checking on the babies, who were both asleep she passed out next to him, not even getting under the covers.

The next morning Lorelai and Luke where downstairs in the kitchen at quarter to 6, exhausted but honestly if they were asked, happy. Rory appeared from her room soon after and started getting ready for school. Luke and Lorelai also got ready to go, Lorelai was going to drive Rory to school today, Luke and the twins were coming along and then she was going to visit her parents, or her mother even, her dad would be at work by the time she got there, she felt like two babies wasn't something to just turn up to Friday night dinner with as usual.

When they were ready to go, the babies already in car seats, they just needed strapped in, Rory opened the door and shrieked and jumped back, causing both babies to wake and Will to start crying.

"What is it?" Luke asked as Lorelai knelt down in front of the baby carrier to comfort Will.

Rory didn't say anything just pointed outside, Luke walked up to the door and looked out and saw what Rory saw. What looked like the whole town was crowded around the house completely silent.

Luke growled slightly and then marched towards them. "What are you doing here?" He asked in a voice that resembled a growl.

"Well you see, Luke, we heard a rumour that we wanted confirmed?" Taylor stood out from the crown towards Luke.

"Go away, Taylor, do you know what, go away all of you!" He half yelled, causing most people to scurry off.

"What are you still doing here Taylor?" Luke asked him.

"Well, Luke, as town selectman it is my right to know if there are indeed two new members to the town and, what that means for the dynamics of the town. I don't want this to turn into a Fay Wellington and Art Brush situation, Luke."

"What the hell are you talking about? Do you know what, I don't care, go away or I'll tell you where to stick your art brush, ok?" Luke walked back into the house.

"They're gone, let's go." He said when he entered back into the house, picking up Logan's car seat and storming out, just in time to see Taylor scurry around the corner. Lorelai and Rory exchanged a look and then Lorelai shrugged and followed him out with Will and was quickly followed by Rory.

They drove Rory to school and then drove to the Gilmore mansion. They sat in the jeep down the street, prepping before they go in. They decided that Lorelai would go in by herself and explain everything to her mother, while Luke stayed in the car with the babies. Luke was happy because he got to chicken out going inside and Lorelai was happy because even though she didn't get to chicken out of going inside, she still didn't have to show up on her mothers doorstep with a baby in her arms, she didn't think her mother would take very well to that.

"Lorelai?" Emily asked surprised when she opened the door, "what are you doing here?"

"I need to speak to you." Lorelai replied.

"Come in then, but your father isn't here, he's at work." Emily stepped away from the door and walked into the living room, Lorelai following behind her.

"That's ok, I'll tell you first." Lorelai replied as they sat down together.

"Tell me? Not ask me?" Emily raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Lorelai took a deep breath and then handed her mother the letter she had found on her porch, she wasn't sure how to tell her, so really she was showing her. It's easier to answer questions than to just make a speech.

Emily read the note. "Luke? The man from the party? The one who brought you to the hospital?" She asked.

"Yeah?" Lorelai replied slowly, not expecting this line of questioning to be first.

"This girl left you and him baby twins?"

"Yes."

"Can I ask you something?"

"You can."

"Are you going to keep them, you and Luke?"

"Yeah, Mum, we are." Lorelai smiled.

"Where are they?"

Lorelai paused.

"Lorelai." Emily warned, "where are they?"

"They're outside in the jeep with Luke now." She said quietly.

Emily stood up and walked towards the door.

"Mum, where are you going?"

"To invite them inside, you cant just leave them in the car, Lorelai what is wrong with you?" She went outside and Lorelai ran after her.

"Where are they?" She asked looking at the empty driveway and then back at Lorelai.

Lorelai looked up away from her mother and mumbled, "parked down the street."

"Oh for goodness sake!" Emily exclaimed, "go get them, I'll be inside." She turned around and went back inside.

Lorelai walked down the street towards the car.

"That was quick." Luke turned around to face her when he saw her coming, "what happened?"

"She wants to see you and them." She opened the door and took Logan out into her arms.

"What?" Luke asked jumping out of the car.

"Don't act so shocked." She said as Luke got Will and they walked towards the house. Once they got there Lorelai just let herself in and walked into the living room followed very closely by Luke.

When she got there her mother turned to her, "I just got off the phone with our lawyer, he is on his way." She said.

"Lawyer? Why?" Lorelai asked confused.

"You didn't think you can just find babies and keep babies, there is going to be a court hearing, and while it should rule in your favour, you should still have a good lawyer, so our lawyer is on our way." Emily said sitting back down.

Lorelai exchanged a look with Luke and then said, "ok." She sat down and Luke quickly sat down next to her.

"I believe introductions are in order?" She raised her eyebrow once again, leaning back in her seat.

"Ah yes," Lorelai said, "this here," she smiled down at the little boy in her arms, "is Logan Lucas Danes, and over there," she smiled in Luke's arms this time, "is William Richard Danes."

"Danes?" Emily asked confused.

"Luke Danes." Lorelai explained, pointing at Luke.

"Ah." Emily said and before she said anything more on the subject, and she did have more on the subject, "did you say Richard?"

"Yeah, William was Luke's fathers name, so we just thought, well it was Luke's idea actually, but I like it, it fits." Lorelai fumbled around with an explanation.

"He'll like that." Emily said softly, then turned to Luke, "what about your parents, how do they feel about this?" She asked him.

"Mum..." Lorelai said getting a confused look from Emily.

"No it's ok," Luke said, "My parents are dead."

"Oh, Luke I'm sorry, I didn't know." Emily said then realised, "yes I did, you told me about your father in the hospital, Im sorry I forgot, I had a lot on my mind that day."

"It's ok." Luke smiled at her, "and for the record they would be thrilled."

"I should call Richard, let him know what is happening." Emily got up and walked out of the room.

"Sorry." Lorelai said with a wince.

"You're alright." Luke reassured her, "and they would be thrilled. I should call Liz."

"Liz? Who's Liz?"

"Liz is my sister."

"You have a sister? How could I not know that you have a sister?"

"You never met her. She lives in New York with Jess. She never visits and to be perfectly honest, I love her and all but she's a huge pain." Luke explained.

"Jess? Her husband?"

"Her son. He's about Rory's age and she's about yours. Smart kid, just a bit messed up because of who his mother is."

"I'm sure he'll be ok."

Emily returned, "Richard said he has one more meeting and then he can come home for a few hours and Micheal should be here any minute, his office, where he said he was when I called, is just around the corner." As if on cue the door bell rang, "ah that must be him." Emily left again and shortly returned with a short fat balding man in what looked like an expensive suit.

"Michael, this is Lorelai, my daughter, and Luke, they need your advise involving those two tiny babies they have with them." Emily said as her and Michael sat opposite Luke and Lorelai.

"Tell me what happened." Michael said and so Lorelai did, she told him everything from the start, including the visit from social services.

Michael sat and thought for a minute once Lorelai had finished speaking, "Do you want to know what I think you should do?"

"Yes." Lorelai responded, feeling like that was pretty obvious.

"You two need to get married." He said.

"What?" Lorelai asked shocked.

"Social services are letting you keep the babies until the hearing, in about 6 months. At this hearing a judge will decide what to do. They will either let you adopt them or they will not and social services will take them away and try to get them adopted some other place."

"Why would they do that?" Luke asked.

"Because a lot of judges, especially the older ones, think that adoption should be done by a married couple. I have seen and heard of cases that haven't gone through because of it. Now I'm not saying you have to stay married. For all means make sure the adoption goes through and then get a divorce. But for now, if you get married, i don't see how any judge could refused adoption. I'll give you some time to talk. Emily perhaps me and you should get some coffee in the other room." He stood and Emily followed him out towards the dining room.

"So." Lorelai said once they were alone.

"Let's do it." Luke said with a determined look on his face, "nothing fancy, let's do it tomorrow. It's worth it."

"Are you sure?" Lorelai asked.

"He's right you know. If it doesn't work out we can get a divorce. And I was going to ask you out anyway, why not just start out as married and see how it goes from there." Luke said looking at Lorelai.

Lorelai stared at Luke and held his gaze, "ok." She said quietly, "but nothing fancy, just you, me, them, Rory and Sookie."

"Sookie?" Luke asked.

"Yes, Sookie has to come, trust me she will never get over it if she doesn't but I won't tell her until tomorrow when we pick her up."

"Ok." Luke said then paused and with a lot of courage asked, "Can I kiss you?"

"When?"

"Now."

Lorelai looked at him then leans towards him and whispered ok and they then shared their first kiss with Logan and Will in their arms between them on her parents couch.

"Wow." Lorelai said, "I should have done that a long time ago."

"Yeah?" Luke grinned at her.

"Yeah." She grinned back.

Will started to cry in Luke's arms so Luke stood up and started walking around with him.

"He needs fed." Lorelai said, "I left the stuff in the car."

"Mum!" She shouted getting Emily's attention who rushed in.

"What's wrong? Lorelai, why is he crying?"

"He needs fed but I left the stuff in the car, could you hold Logan for a moment, I'll be right back." She passed the tiny baby over to her mother and rushed out the door.

Emily stood there awkwardly, with her future son in law and future grandsons. Nothing was said before Lorelai returned with a large bag.

"Thanks, Mum," lorelai said taking Logan back, "could we go up to my room, just to get them sorted and then we'll come straight back?" She asked her.

"Sure, but don't take all day, Michael is a busy man, he wants to speak to your father, and I have to speak to him too, so you have some time."

With that Lorelai carefully pushed Luke towards the stairs and led him up to her old room.

"Wow," Luke said upon entering, "Lorelai Gilmore's childhood bedroom." He teased.

"Shut up," Lorelai grinned back as she readied a bottle for Will who had stopped crying but didn't look happy, "I'm going to go downstairs and warm this up for him, you can stay here with both of them?" She said as Luke sat down on the bed and Lorelai lay Logan down between some pillows.

"Yeah, I'll be ok, but get one for him too he'll need fed soon enough, and we might as well try now." He gestured towards Logan.

"Good idea." Lorelai got another bottle ready then paused, "I still need to phone Mia remind me to do that as soon as we leave here." With that she left.

Down stairs Emily and Michael were sat at the dining room table.

"I need to talk to you about buying a property in Stars Hallow immediately." Emily said.

"You want to move to Stars Hallow? Isn't that some little town about a half hour away?" Michael asked very confused.

"God, no! Not for me for Lorelai. She's needs a bigger house. She lives in a two bedroom house at the moment with her daughter, Rory, they'll need a lot more space now."

"I'll see what I can do, how quickly do you want this done?" Michael asked.

"The next few days, they'll need to get married soon, we'll get the house as a wedding present."

Lorelai walked in and Emily and Michael stopped talking, "sorry," Lorelai said not hearing what they had been talking about, "I just need to run into the kitchen really quick, heat these us."

"Ok, Lorelai." Emily said, they sat in silence until Lorelai returned and went back upstairs.

"I need a good house." Emily said with a thoughtful look on her face as she stared after where her daughter had just left.

Luke and Lorelai returned downstairs seconds after Richard had returned home, with sleeping babies on their shoulders.

"Oh my, Emily, you were serious," Richard said upon seeing them, "Lorelai, can't you just have children like a normal person."

"Dad!" "Richard!" Lorelai and Emily said at the same down.

"Calm down," Richard said, "I was joking, right, let's go sit down, Michael good to see you again." He greeted with a handshake and then walked into the living room and sat down and everyone else followed him.

"What's the plan?" Richard asked once everyone had sat down, "is there a plan?"

"Yes there is," Emily said, "Lorelai and Luke will get married..."

Richard scoffed, "like Lorelai will go for that."

Lorelai put her hand on top of Luke's, "actually, dad, I will."

"Anyway, they will get married, soon, that way they will have a much better chance at being able to adopt them."

"That's the plan?" Richard asked, "where will they live?"

"My house." Lorelai said.

"Well actually, I was thinking about that," Emily said, "and I was just thinking that maybe your father and I could buy you and Luke a house, in Stars Hallow, of course, you know as a wedding present."

"A house?" Lorelai asked confused.

"Yes Lorelai." Emily sighed slightly.

"Why?" Lorelai was so confused, Luke was just sitting in awkward silence.

"I just told you, you are getting married, when you get married your parents get you a present and a house is a very normal present to give."

"I don't need you to buy me a house." Lorelai said.

"I know you don't need me to buy you a house, Lorelai, or do anything else for you for that matter, this isn't a handout this is a present." Emily explained, "we can talk about it later, ok?"

"I better get going," Michael said, "Emily, Richard, I will be in touch. Lorelai, Luke, nice meeting you." Michael nodded at everyone and then saw himself out.

"We better get going to, I have some phone calls to make. I'm sure you need to get back to work anyway, dad." Lorelai stood up and Luke stood up behind her.

"Yes I do." Richard also stood up, "Emily I might be home a bit late tonight."

"Ok, well we will see you on Friday, all of you." She looked at Luke.

"Ok Mum." Lorelai and Luke started to walk away.

"Oh and Lorelai," Emily said as the last minute as they approached the door, and then said with pleading eyes, "please let me come to your wedding."

Lorelai smiled, "ok Mum, but we are going to do it really soon."

"Friday, do it Friday, instead of dinner." Emily suggested, "you can even do it here if you want, I will organise the whole thing."

Lorelai exchanged a look with Luke who shrugged, "ok Mum, but I mean it, don't go over the top and no guests just us Rory and Sookie, ok?"

"Ok." Emily said and they left.

It was about lunch time by the time they got home so after feeding and changing and putting the babies down for a sleep in their cot, Luke went to the diner to pick them up some food and Lorelai phoned Mia.

When Luke returned with a cheeseburger and a sandwich he found Lorelai sitting at the table looking shocked starring ahead.

"What is it? Are you ok?" He asked her and set the food down on the table, when she didn't respond he knelt down in front of her and touched her arms, "Lorelai? Are you ok? Did you phone Mia?" He asked and she jumped slightly.

"She gave me 9 months paid maternity leave and the option for an additional 3 months unpaid."

"Paid?" Luke asked.

"Not full pay," She explained, "but 90% she said."

"Is that normal at the Inn?" Luke asked confused.

"Apparently since I've been running it we've only had 2 pregnancy and both women have quit when they've found out to raise the baby so I haven't dealt with maternity leave yet. In all honesty I wasn't even expecting maternity leave never mind this." Lorelai snapped out of it and saw the bags of food, "ohhhh, food!" She said and Luke chuckled and stood back up to give her her food.

"Mia has always had a soft spot for you." Luke pointed out and they then dig into their food in silence.

"Hey Luke," Lorelai said shyly.

"Yeah?" He asked her meeting her eye.

"Don't say anything until I'm done, ok?"

"Sure." He replied slightly confused.

"Ok, well, I would just like to say that, well, that I like you, like proper like you, and what with us getting married and everything I thought I should get used to telling you things, discussing things with you, you know, that kinda thing. But I'm not sure what to do about it, it wouldn't be strange for a married couple to you know actually be a couple, and I want to be, I do, you are amazing but on the other hand what if it doesn't work out, I'm not just thinking about me and Rory here, what about you and the babies." Lorelai said and then stopped speaking having ran out of things to say she then added when Luke didn't say anything, "I'm done by the way."

"I like you too Lorelai, I have for such a long time, since the day we met really. I understand what you mean, but I want you to know that whatever happens between me and you I will always, always be here not just for the babies, but for you and Rory too, always. If we were to go out, for lack of a better phrase, it would be strange, for one thing we would live in the same house right from the start, for another thing we will be married right from the start and for a third and final big thing we will have children right from the start."

"Yeah." Was Lorelai's only response as they both sat in thought.

"How about this," Luke said grabbing Lorelai's attention, "we'll get married Friday as planned but in a years time, on our one year anniversary I guess, we will either get remarried, and do it properly or if it doesn't work out we can go back to being friends raising children together."

Lorelai smiled, "so just try us out and if it messes things up just go back?"

"Yeah, simple." Luke smiled, "but I want you to know for this now, I'm in, I'm all in."

Lorelai smile grew and she learnt towards Luke and kissed him lightly, "I'm all in too." She replied, "on a trail basis, of course." She added with a grin.

"Of course." Luke responded and lightly kissed her again.

Later that afternoon Rory returned home to find her mother in the living room with two sleeping babies and a sleeping Luke. Lorelai heard her daughter came in and stood up carefully so as not to wake anyone and met her daughter with a hug.

"Hey," She whispered, "we need to talk."

"Ok." Rory replied and led her mother into her bedroom and closed the door and sat down on the bed with her mother next to her, "what's up?" She asked.

"You mean besides all that babies showing up for me and Luke thing?" Lorelai asked with a grin.

"Yep." Rory grinned back.

"Grandma wants to buy us a house." Lorelai started with.

"What? A house? Why? When did you speak to Grandma?" Rory was shocked.

"This morning. Me and Luke and Will and Logan went over there after we dropped you off to school. Mum got her lawyer round and everything Oh there is something else I must tell you. Well this on is slightly more strange just remember keep your voice down, they're sleeping outside. Well you know they way me and Luke want to adopt Will and Logan? It turns out that a lot of the time you can have a hard time in court with that kinda thing if you aren't married..." Lorelai paused to see if Rory had caught on to what she was hinting at, she hadn't, "So me and Luke are going to get married on Friday at dinner."

"At dinner?" Rory asked, then realised that that wasn't the most ridiculous part, "wait you and Luke are going to get married, you aren't even together."

"That's another thing we kinda decided to do it properly for a kinda trail basis. A year. You see, sweetie, we both have feelings for each other and we are going to be living in the same house, so in a year if everything works out, as I hope it will, we will have our proper wedding, but for now it's more practical."

Rory was shocked, she knew her mother would have never agreed to do this with any other man, "you really love him don't you?" She asked softly.

Lorelai blushed and looked down then met her daughters eyes and nodded.

"Oh my god, I feel terrible." Rory said.

"What? Why?" Lorelai put her arms on her shoulder and looked into Rory's upset face.

"When you asked me what I thought about Luke, remember? I shot you down and told you not to date him! I'm such a terrible person, I didn't realise, I swear, I thought you were just after some passing fling and I didn't want to loose Luke."

"Hey, sweetie, it's ok, calm down. Don't feel bad about that. I understood then and I understand now. If you still don't want me to do this I'll find another way I won't do it."

"No!" Rory said loudly, "I do want you to do it, if you want to of course. But you could be dating him properly already if it wasn't for me." Rory said sad at the last point.

"Hey," Lorelai grinned and nudged her daughter with her arm, "guess what?" She grinned at her.

"What?" Rory said still miserable and humouring her mother.

"We kissed."

"You did? When?" Rory totally forgot about before.

"After lunch, twice." Lorelai replied, "and I've got to say, two of the most amazing kisses of my life." Lorelai continued to smile.

"Spare me the details please." Rory responded also smiling.

"Oh no, they weren't like that, they were just really good."

"Hey Mum?"

"Yeah, sweets?"

"You seem happy."

"I am happy, kid."

"Just checking."

"Hey Rory?" Lorelai started the conversation up again after a brief pause.

"Yeah?"

"I need to make a huge decision."

"I know." Rory giggle slightly.

"No I mean, well yes, what I mean it that when you were born I shut out my parents I wouldn't let them help with anything. They hated that and well you know how that turned out. I need to decide if I'm going to let them in. Let them help me. It's hard for me, it always has been. But when I had you I was so young, I was immature and I needed their help and they could see that and I shoved their help in their faces. I really upset them, I know that now and I knew it then. I have to make the decision again of whether to let them in, to let them help me or like before do everything by myself."

"What are you going to decide?" Rory asked concerned that she would loose her grandparents once again.

"If I let them buy me a house, I've let them in, brought them into my life. And I do want them in my life, they are my parents I love them, of course, I'm just not sure I'm ready to let them in."

"Do you want my opinion?" Rory asked her.

"Yeah, I always want your opinion."

"I think you should let them in, you've been separated for so long and I understand that it was hard before but they are trying. And you know arguably you should be more mature now than you where 16 years ago, but honestly I'm not seeing it."

"Hey!" Lorelai said in mock outrage, "I'll consider it and leave you to your studying, I'll just be in the living room if you need me, we have that social worker coming tomorrow, got to make the place look presentable." Lorelai stood and left to find Logan wide awake and not making a sound.

"Hey little guy," Lorelai cooed at him as she approached him and picked him up, "you are very chill now aren't you. Not like Rory at all. You know when she was your age the second she was awake she would cry until I picked her up." Lorelai looked down at his face and his blue eyes that were locked on her face, "if you ever need picked up, even just for a little cuddle, you let me know, ok?" She asked him even though he had no concept of what she was saying.
