The next day the social worker came by, with her she brought the birth certificates which hadn't been filled out and Lorelai found it quite upsetting to look at them and see the space for birth mother and father both empty, although she did find some comfort in seeing Danes as their surnames and their fore and middle names the ones she had picked out, with Luke of course. After she had left, with a promise to return the next week Lorelai turned to Luke.

"I want to take them for a walk." She said, "show them the town."

"Show them the town?" Luke asked her looking at her like she was crazy, "they aren't even a week old, I'm not sure how your tour will go."

"Well I want to take them anyway," Lorelai said stubbornly.

"No one will leave us alone if we go out there." He said pointing towards the front door.

"Oh don't be so dramatic," Lorelai dismissed him as she stood up and grabbed onto his hands and pulled him up. She kissed him briefly and then smiled at him.

"Fine." He sighed, "but you have to talk to them when they come."

"They are our friends." Lorelai pointed out.

"God knows why." Luke sighed as he got his coat and handed Lorelai hers, the pair of them then proceed to wrap the babies up in a number of blankets to make sure they wouldn't get cold and then put them in their double pram.

They nearly made it all the way to the town centre without being stopped by anyone, then Miss Patty and Babette saw them.

"Sugar!" Babette yelled as her and Patty ran across the street towards them causing Luke to duck his head and stuff his hands in his pockets, as if he would somehow go unnoticed.

"It's fine." Lorelai whispered to him before the two arrived she then smiled at them, "Hi Babette, Miss Patty, how are you doing?" She asked them in a jolly voice.

"We're just fine, my dear," Patty purred, "I take it these are the rumoured twins we have been hearing all about."

"These are them." Lorelai said now slightly awkward herself as she lent slightly on Luke.

Miss Patty and Babette both stuck there heads right into the pram.

"Oh sugar, they're gorgeous!" Babette shrieked, "So what's the story behind all this, then?" She asked.

Luckily Lorelai was saved from answering, Babette's loud voice had caused Will to wake up and start crying. Logan somehow was still sleeping soundly.

"I'm sorry, we better get going." Lorelai said as she lifted Will out gently and started to rock him as Luke took the handles of the pram and started pushing away from the two women and Lorelai followed him.

"See that wasn't too bad, now was it?" Lorelai asked catching up isn't a calm Will in her arms staring at her.

"I guess not." Luke grumbled, "but she did make him cry." Luke pointed out as he took a seat on the bench under the gazebo.

"He's fine." Lorelai assured him and she went to set Will back into the pram only for him to cry again, causing Luke to look concerned.

Lorelai took him back into her arms and he calmed down. "He's fine," Lorelai said softly to Luke, "he just wants a little cuddle." She explained as she put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Luke smiled at his and then put his hand onto Wills causing Will to grab onto his finger like his life depended on it, Luke smiled at this.

"Hey Luke?" Lorelai asked once Will had been back to sleep for nearly 15 minutes, his grin loosening on Luke's finger, "you wouldn't mind running over to Luke's and grabbing me a coffee, would you?" She faced him with pleading eyes and a pout.

"You want me to go get you a coffee?" Luke asked her.

"It is your place, you can get it for free." She explained to him.

"If I go in there, Caesar won't want me to leave, he hates being in charge." Luke explained back.

"You need to hire someone else." Lorelai pointed out to him.

"Yeah, I do, I've been meaning to hire another set of hands for a while now, I've just never really gotten round to it."

"Oh my god!" Lorelai said with wide eyes.

"It's not really a big deal." Luke said confused by her reaction, she has suggested the very thing not 10 seconds before hand.

"No not that, Emily!"

"Your mother?"

"Yes."

"What about her?"

"She's here, walking around with Kirk, I just saw them go round that corner."

"Your mother is walking around stars Hallow with Kirk?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"No idea, come on let's go." Lorelai stood up and carefully set a sleeping Will back into his pram, "let's follow them see what they are up to."

Luke snorted in laughter, "imagine if they were having an affair."

"Ewwwwww!" Lorelai shuddered, "Why would you even think that? Ewww! Just ewww!" She then took off after them, leaving Luke with the pram to follow her.

They rounded the corner and they were gone, "they just came round here, where are they?" Lorelai asked, "I seriously doubt my mother ran!"

"Come on," Luke said, "let's go home, I'll make you a late lunch, we haven't eaten yet." He put his hand on her shoulder and she followed him home.

The next day Luke went into work in the morning because there was some kind of problem but he promised he would be back by 2. At 10 Lorelai walked from the living room where she left the babies to the front door and opened it with a yawn.

"That is no way to open your door." Emily pointed out as she invited herself in and went into the living room.

"Sorry mum." Lorelai said, "tired." She explained.

"Yes well I'm here for a reason, I want you to see something, go get changed we need to go to it." Emily said excited.

Lorelai frowned, "leave?" She asked.

"Yes, now go, I'll watch them while you get changed then you can get them ready and we can leave we won't be too long, it's not very far away." Emily pushed her towards the stairs.

"Where are we going mum?" Lorelai asked as she walked up the stairs.

"You'll see." Emily said still seeming just a little bit too pleased with herself.

Lorelai came down stairs a short time later and went over to Will, "Come on little guy." She said picking him up, "let's get you ready, your crazy grandmother is bringing us to some mysterious place." Lorelai said as she got him ready to go outside and then repeated the process with Logan as Emily rolled her eyes at Lorelai's comment.

Once they where ready and placed in their pram they took for the door, "Are we walking or driving, mum?" Lorelai asked.

"Walking." Emily said leading the way.

"Why am I even coming with you?" She asked herself as she pushed the pram after her mother.

"Are we going to the Inn? This is the way to the Inn." Lorelai asked.

"No Lorelai, we aren't going to the Inn, although it is near to the Inn."

They walked through the streets, still approaching the Inn and then when they got really close they veered off slightly. Eventually they stopped in front of a large but nice house with Kirk standing outside it grinning.

"Well?" Emily asked.

"Well what? Where are we?" Lorelai asked.

"The house, do you like the house?" Emily pushed.

"Yeah, why?" Lorelai asked confused then she realised with an, "ahhhh, you want to buy me a house."

"Yes do you like it?"

"I knew I saw you yesterday." Lorelai said then pointed at Kirk, "with him too! Ha!"

"Yes, Lorelai, but what about the house?" Emily asked then before Lorelai could answer, "it has 5 bedrooms, so a lot bigger than your house at the moment, two of them are ensuite and then there are two other bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms are downstairs which I didn't like, but I thought you mustn't mind, and there is only one reception but the kitchen is quite large, it's not a separate dining room so that could be a problem." She explained.

"You want to buy me a house." Lorelai whispered, "a huge house."

"Well it's hardly huge, I steered away from the actually huge ones because I know you've always hated huge big flashy houses, this one seemed quite simply to me, more your taste."

"You considered my tastes?" Lorelai turned towards her mother slightly shocked.

Emily rolled her eyes, "Well ofcourse I did, it's your house."

"This is just like pudding." Lorelai whispered again.

"Pudding? What are you on about? And will you stop whispering it's weird. Do you want to look inside?"

"Ummm sure. Yeah, let's look inside." Lorelai pushed the pram towards the house and Kirk started a tour of the property. Lorelai hated to admit it but it was the most perfect house to ever exist and it came from her mother.

"So do you like it?" Emily asked once the tour was completed.

"I love it." Lorelai said before thinking.

"Great!" Emily said then turned to Kirk, "We'll take it."

"Very well..." Kirk started before Lorelai interrupted.

"What do you mean we'll take it?"

"Well I mean I said I would buy you and Luke a house, so I am buying you and Luke a house."

"But Luke hasn't even seen it and I haven't decided if I want you to buy us a house. And Rory I am not moving house without them seeing it first." Lorelai said.

"Ok." She turned to Kirk, "could we get back to you this evening?" She asked him.

"Yes, ofcourse if you need to get me I'll be in Luke's for my dinner." Kirk said and then left.

"Well go get them then." Emily said.

"Rory is in school and Luke had to go to work for a few hours we can come back later." Lorelai said leaving the house after having one last look around and keeping a small grin to herself.

Emily followed her out and sighed, "Fine, I guess we can go back to your place to wait, you probably need to feed them anyway."

"Yeah I do." Lorelai said, just over the moon that her mother would be coming back to her house.

Half way back to the house Emily spoke up, "what do you mean you haven't decided if you want me and your father to buy you a house. Lorelai we have been over this, this isn't like before when you were a child and you had Rory and we were trying to set up your life. This is parents buying their adult daughter a wedding present, all very normal, even if the wedding in question isn't all very normal."

"Ok, I'll speak to Luke about it." Lorelai said closing the subject as they got closer to the house.

Later that day at about 2 Luke returned just as he had promised he would. He walked in and walked over to Lorelai and then froze when he saw her mother sitting with her, "umm hi." He said running his hand over his baseball cap, he then looked around and spotted the babies so went over to them.

"Hi." Emily said, slightly to obviously trying to be polite.

Luke shot Lorelai a look that said what is she doing here so Lorelai spoke up, "remember when my mum said that her and dad wanted to buy us a house. Well Emily Gilmore works fast, she's found one, it's actually pretty perfect and pretty but well you know. It's a house."

"Yeah I know." Luke nodded his head.

"What's the big deal about a house?" Emily asked slightly confused by the huge deal they were making out of this.

"Well it's a house, Mum, that's quite a lot of money." Lorelai explained.

"It's hardly that much money, this is Stars Hallow." Emily waved her hand dismissively, "and may I remind you Lorelai that you come from quite a lot of money."

"Mum I saw the house. It's got 5 bedrooms for goodness sake. It's a lot of money."

"You saw the house?" Luke asked then added, "5 bedrooms?"

"Yep and yep." Lorelai replied then grinned and whispered, "it is nice though." Then spoke louder, "but that is besides the point."

"I don't see why." Emily said.

"It just is." Lorelai replied.

"When will Rory be getting home?" Emily asked, deciding not to respond.

"Her bus gets in about 4ish so another two hours or so." Lorelai explained looking awkwardly around the room.

"Well the 5 of us could go see the house, then later bring Rory." Emily suggested sensing the awkwardness.

Lorelai looked at Luke who shrugged, being the person who felt the most awkward in the room so Lorelai stood up and said, "ok then, let's go, can we just go anytime?" Lorelai directed the last bit at her mother, not sure that's how this thing usually works.

"Oh Yes, I booked it for the day." Emily said and walked out.

"She booked a house for the day?" Luke asked quietly so only Lorelai could hear.

"Apparently so." Lorelai replied and then pushed the pram after her and Luke followed her.

They arrived at the house and looked around. Emily went outside at one stage to check something and Luke went over to Lorelai.

"It's an amazing house, it really is, but can we let your mother buy this for us?" Luke whispered to her standing close.

"I know! I half wish it could have been some terrible house, you know make the decision for us, but this is an amazing house, I really want it. I guess she is right it wouldn't be that strange for them to buy it for us, it's not like before I'm not a child trying to get away. I'm an adult and I am as away as I want to be. Maybe if I'm truthful I went a bit far." Lorelai frowned, "what do we do?" She asked Luke looking desperate.

Luke looked thoughtful, "it's your decision, if you are happy doing this I am happy to do it with you but if you aren't we won't, ok?"

"Yeah, although I've got to say that is just putting the decision all on me."

"Well it's your decision." Luke pointed out.

"No it's not Luke, it's OUR decision."

"Yeah well as my part I told you I would be happy to live here with you. You have to decide the rest."

"Ok. I guess I'll show Rory. She won't be back for another hour though."

"Let's go to the diner, you can see the bus stop and it's not that far from here, I want to keep an eye on it too after this morning."

"Ok," Lorelai grinned, "we can show it to Will and Logan, they should wake up soon. Oh and my mother in the diner, that is going to be entertaining."

"Fair warning, the whole morning people where badgering me with questions all day." Luke said as he walked out pushing the pram with him.

Lorelai followed and todo her mum where they where going. About an hour after arriving they saw the bus pull up so they got ready to leave and saw Rory walking with Dean over to Doose's market she then kissed him goodbye and walked in the direction of home.

"Rory!" Lorelai called out getting her attention and calling her over.

"You really shouldn't let her kiss people like that in the street, Lorelai." Emily said as Rory made her way over.

"She's Fine Mum," lorelai sighed.

"What are you all doing here?" Rory asked when she met them.

"Your grandma came to show us a house and we want to show you." Lorelai explained.

"Ok where is it?"

"This way come on." And with that they were back over to the house.

Most of the way there Rory and Lorelai chatted about Rory's day at school. Rory told her about how she had to go over to Paris' house every other day to check on a bird that she was suppose to bring home but had told her teacher she couldn't as she had two new born brothers at home. Then how later on in the day a rumour had spread that the babies were Mr Medina's and how Mr Medina himself had even come to ask Rory about them. Lorelai apologised to Rory who said it was ok. Rory also told Lorelai that she felt bad for cancelling on Dean that Friday as it was their 3 month anniversary. Lorelai then told Rory a bit about the house they were looking at. When they were nearly there Rory dropped back to talk to Luke who was walking a bit back.

"You doing ok?" Rory asked him walking beside him.

"Yeah Rory, I'm doing good." Luke responded smiling at the sweet girl next to him who was kind enough to ask him.

"Good, just checking." Rory said and they walked the rest of the way in silence.

They went back to the house, again, and looked around, again.

Lorelai found herself a lone in one of the downstairs bedrooms with Rory, "so what do you think?" She asked her.

"It's nice I like it."

"Like want to live in it like it?"

"Yeah."

"Dammit."

"Why is that a dammit?"

"Because everyone likes it and everyone wants to live here, I'd even be ok to leave our house to come live here, something I'd never think I would say, like sell it and let others live there if I could live here. But if my mother buys me a house, that is opening a door. That's us becoming normal mother and daughter."

"Mum you are being ridiculous. Just do it." And with that Rory left to go look around again and Lorelai was left by her own.

A few minutes later Emily walked in, "ah there you are, I've been looking for you, so?"

"So what?"

"Do you want this house or should I keep looking, if we get the deal sorted within the next hour I've been promised it can be yours by tomorrow, not that you'd move in tomorrow but you can move in over the weekend maybe."

Lorelai paused, scrunched up her face and then said, "ok."

"Ok, get it?" Emily looked at Lorelai with hopeful eyes and Lorelai nodded. "Lorelai, that's great." Emily hugged her and then ran off saying something about going to speak to Kirk.

Lorelai was shocked, she can't remember the last time her mother had hugged her, she then heard a baby cry so went to go find Luke, she found Luke with Rory in the living room. Luke was holding a calm Logan and Rory was trying to hold a not so calm Will. Lorelai smiled and went over to Rory and took Will and calmed him down.

"Sorry," Rory blushed, "I tried."

"That's ok sweets." Lorelai smiled at her then walked over to stand next to Luke and said to him, "looks like this is your new house."

"Really?ok." Luke said and smiled at her.

"You are ok with this right?" Lorelai checked.

"Yeah, I am, it's a great house."

"Hey Rory." Lorelai got her attention, "what room do you want?"

"Ohhhh really? I dunno, I'm going to go check them all again." Rory almost ran towards the bedrooms muttering to herself about the pros and cons of each.

Lorelai still standing next to Luke leaned over towards him slightly, "awkward question but are we sharing a room?"

Luke blushed at the thought which made Lorelai smile, "ummmmm, I dunno." He said.

"Well, we will be married, and well ummm dating I guess. But only just." Lorelai paused, "we need to give the impression of a married couple."

"I don't think too many people will be looking into that." Luke pointed out, "if that is what is worrying you."

"No not really. But what do we do? You've been sleeping in my bed these last few days, it hasn't been weird, has it?"

"No, it hasn't been." Luke agreed, but then again that was more to do with practicality.

"And we will have to keep the babies close to us and to each other." Lorelai pointed out.

"Yeah we will, especially when they are really young, right?" Luke asked, not entirely familiar with this whole baby thing.

"Yeah."

"So?" Luke asked.

"Why don't we just get quite a large bed, so we can have our own space if we need it. That master bedroom is quite large." Lorelai suggested.

"Ok." Luke agreed with a small smile and a nod.

Lorelai grinned and leaned close next to his ear, "you know we don't always have to use all of the space you know."

"Geez, Lorelai!" Luke blushed and looked at Logan in his arms.

"Relax, they can't understand a word we are saying."

"Well my previous comment still stands." Luke said softly.

Rory returned downstairs and then rushed around the corner towards the other two bedrooms downstairs. When she returned she said, "I think I'm going to take the ensuite downstairs, if that ok, Mum, I've always wanted an ensuite and you know I'm used to my bedroom being downstairs, it would be strange to have to go upstairs to go to bed. You probably want the big ensuite upstairs and Luke I dunno which one you would like."

"Well, sweetie, Luke is going to share a room with me actually, you know married couple and all that." Lorelai pointed out and Rory shrugged and said ok and then returned to her new room to plan where she would put all her furniture.

The next day was Friday and at 4 o'clock they all got in their car in semi smart clothes to go to the Gilmores for the wedding.

Luke drove separately so that Lorelai could pick up Sookie on the way and explain to her what was happening. Rory sat in the middle between the two car seats that held Will and Logan.

"So Mum, are you going to become a Danes now?" Rory asked as they met outside the house.

"I guess so." Lorelai said, "this is so weird, getting married at my parents house, I never thought I would do THAT!"

"I'm excited!" Sookie squealed.

Luke took her hand briefly and squeezed it, "don't worry, we will do it properly if we want to." Lorelai smiled at him, this was more of a prewedding wedding anyway.

Lorelai and Luke's were married by a priest at half five and then went straight to taking care of their new born sons, before dinner.

At dinner they sat next to each other and when everyone's attention was taken by something else Lorelai leaned over towards Luke and whispered to him, "hey, do you remember the first time we met?"

"What?" Luke asked her.

"I'm just trying to remember the first time we met. It must have been at Luke's, right."

Luke nodded, "it was at Luke's, it was at lunch, it was a very busy day, the place was packed, and this person-"

Lorelai gasped quietly, so as not to draw attention, "ohh, is it me? Is it me?" She smiled at Luke.

"This person comes tearing into the place in a caffeine frenzy." Luke continued.

"Ohh, it's me." Lorelai responded gleefully.

"I was with a customer. She interrupts me, wild-eyed, begging for coffee, so I tell her to wait her turn. Then she starts following me around, talking a mile a minute, saying god knows what. So finally I turn to her, and I tell her she's being annoying, sit down, shut up, I'll get to her when I get to her."

"You know, I bet she took that very well, because she sounds delightful." Lorelai grinned.

"She asked me what my birthday was. I wouldn't tell her. She wouldn't stop talking. I gave in. I told her my birthday. Then she opened up the newspaper to the horoscope page, wrote something down, tore it out, handed it to me. So I looked at this piece of paper in my hand and under Scorpio she had written, 'you will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she'll go away.' I gave her coffee."

"But she didn't go away." Lorelai said still grinning.

"She told me to hold on to that horoscope, put it in my wallet, and carry it around with me," Luke pulled out his wallet and took out an old looking piece of paper, "one day it would bring me luck."

"Well, man, I will say anything for a cup of coffee." Lorelai took the piece of paper and looked at it then spoke softly, "I can't believe you kept this. You kept this in your wallet?" She then looked at his face and spoke even softer, "you kept this in your wallet."

"Lorelai this thing we're doing here, me you, them, I just want you to know I'm in. I am all in." He carefully watched her reaction, "does that, uh," he paused, "Are you, uh, scared?"

"Terrified." Lorelai took his hand, "but I'll be good, we'll be good."

"Good." Luke smiled, the other occupants at the table then taking their attention.

Later that night Luke and Lorelai lay naked in Lorelai's bed, cuddled up together.

"I can't believe you kept that horoscope." Lorelai said planting a kiss on his shoulder.

"You're just lucky I never clean out my wallet." Luke stroked her hair.

"You can't take it back now. You've exposed yourself. You've been pining for me."

Luke chuckled, "I have not been pining."

"I'm your Ava Gardner."

"God help me." Luke kissed the top of her head.

The next morning they were woken up by the sound of a baby crying.

"What time is it?" Lorelai asked, getting out of bed slowly and putting on Luke's shirt from the night before.

"Early." Luke responded grabbing his trouser.

"Hate early. Must kill early." She said as he's approached the cot that held two babies, only Logan was awake she she reached in and picked him up and held him close to calm him down before she started getting him ready for the day. Luke approached behind her and she turned to him, "only Logan, I've got him, go get me coffee."

"Ok," Luke kissed her and then got dressed properly before going downstairs.

He returned upstairs with a cup of coffee, "so when are we moving?" He sat on the side of the bed, taking Logan off Lorelai as she took the coffee off him.

"Well, yesterday Mum said the house is ours from today, so I guess whenever we like." Lorelai shrugged sitting next to him, sipping on her coffee.

"We can start moving things today, then?"

"Yeah I guess so, although there's no real rush."

"I'd like to be properly moved in before I have to go back to the diner, I've hired a new guy, but I should really get back soon, Caesar hates running the place, it's not really fair on him to make him do it."

"Oh ok then, we can start today, Rory is off school, but I think she said she has plans with Dean, but we can work around that."

"Ok good, I'm going to have a shower." He stood up and kissed Logan's head and set him back down next to Will where he lay happily, he then kissed Lorelai quickly and left her alone with the babies.

That morning they spent boxing up all their possessions and in many trips Luke ran them over to the new house. By 4 in the afternoon, after many breaks, most of which where due to the two new borns that needed looked after, nearly all of their possessions where gone, except for the big furniture and a few items of clothing. They where going to move the beds and the sofa the next day on Sunday, and then unpack as they lived. Rory was slightly sceptical about the plan but Lorelai assured her it would work out fine. Now that they were done all of the work they had planned for the day Rory got ready for her date with her Mothers help as Luke took care of the babies.

Luke was in the living room lost in thought about how his life had changed so much in such a short period of time and how he was terrible with change but he had to be good with change when Lorelai and Rory came out of Rory's room. Rory was wearing a pink dress and had her hair pinned up and Lorelai was walking behind her babbling about a meatball.

Once Rory had left Lorelai sat down next to Luke, "so?" She asked him, "what do we want to do for dinner, I'm starved."

"We could go to the diner if you want." Luke suggested.

"You just want to check up on it." Lorelai accused him pointing a finger at him and playfully narrowing her eyes.

"Well yeah, but you seem to like eating there, we don't have to, I just thought you would fancy a burger."

"Ohhh, a burger!" Lorelai jumped up and rushed over to the baby bag she had to make sure it was good for them to go, "let's go!"

Luke chuckled and got ready to go as well.

Once they got their Lorelai took a seat at the counter and Luke stood behind it, helping out as he was here anyway. The pram sat next to Lorelai's seat and Lorelai had one hand inside it, as Will had a strong grip on her finger.

The whole town seemed to be in the diner bugging them and it got even worse when Babette spotted the new rings on their fingers. Eventually when the babies got fed up off all the attention and started crying and Luke started glaring at everyone, they took the hint and left them alone. After the babies where once again calm Luke made them dinner and sat his plate next to Lorelai's, coming and going, filling up peoples coffees and then standing behind the counter, picking at his meal and chatting with Lorelai.

Lorelai looked outside and smiled at all the crazy decorations, "this is a beautiful festival don't you think, Luke?" Lorelai asked teasingly after seeing him roll his eyes at Patty and Taylor talking about it.

Luke scoffed, "It's a crazy festival based on a nutty myth about two lunatics, who in all probability did not even exist. And even if they did, probably dropped dead of diphtheria before age 24. The town of Stars Hollow probably got its name from the local dance hall prostitute. Two rich drunk guys who made up the story to make it look good on a poster."

Lorelai grinned, loving a good ranting Luke, "You are full of hate and loathing, and I gotta tell you, I love it!"

Luke grinned back and leaned close to her and said in a low voice, "Oh, it's so good to have somebody to share this hate with."

Lorelai smiled sweetly, "my pleasure."

"More coffee?" Luke offered already pouring some more into her cup.

"Yeah please. Hey, tomorrow, if you have time, I'm planning on despising everyone who says, 'hey, how's it going?'" Lorelai joked.

"You're on." Luke took some more food.

Rachel entered the diner, "Hey, hows it going?" She said.

"Oh, now that's just too easy." Lorelai grinned at Luke not recognising the voice.

"Rachel." Luke said shocked.

"Rachel? Your Rachel?" Lorelai turned around and looked over the pram, "you're Rachel?"

"Yeah, I'm Rachel."

"What are you... I mean, I thought you were in the Congo or Philadelphia or something."

"Actually, though very similar to both the Congo and Philadelphia, I was in the Mideast. I dropped by yesterday, but no one would tell me where you were." Rachel said.

"This is Lorelai." Luke awkwardly pointed at Lorelai.

"Hi," Lorelai said just as awkwardly then turned to Luke standing up and putting her hands on the handle of the pram, "Luke could I talk to you for a second?" She signalled with her head to the curtain.

"Yes, please." Luke said and rushed behind the curtain and Lorelai followed after giving Rachel a small smile.

Rachel sat down, confused.

They went behind the curtain and Lorelai said, "I understand if you want to you know..."

"What?" Luke asked and saw that Lorelai was looking at the curtain in the direction of a Rachel, "no! Lorelai please, i don't want to. I promise. I want to be with you. I just panicked out there I haven't seen her in so long and then she just showed up. That's all. I don't want to be with her, I want to be with you."

"Are you sure? You aren't just saying that because of the babies and the wedding, because we can sort that out if you want to." Lorelai said looking at the floor now, still self conscious.

"No," Luke took a step towards her and put one hand on her elbow and used the other to guide her head up to look at her, "I want to be with you, I meant it when I said I was all in." Luke looked her in the eye and she stared back and then nodded, "ok, then what do we do."

Luke shrugged, "I guess we should go back out there. I can introduce you as my wife and Will and Logan as my sons, to someone who doesn't know what has been happening recently, that'll be fun." This comment caused Lorelai to smile, "really?" She asked.

"Really." Luke confirmed, this time taking the handle of the pram and pushing it out himself.

When they got out and approached Rachel she looked up confused, Luke was now pushing the pram with the tiny babies that appeared to belong to that Lorelai girl, although she was weirdly thin for just haven given birth.

"Luke?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Rachel, these are my sons, Will and Logan and Lorelai is my wife." He said.

Rachel's mouth dropped open slightly, "your sons? Your wife? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come. I just dropped by to say hi see how you where doing. I shouldn't have expected it all to be the same." She stood up out of the stool and grabbed her bag that she had set on the floor.

Lorelai spoke up, "Don't let me drive you out, if you came for some reason or something." She offered, feeling bad.

"No it's ok, I really did just see a plane to Hartford and thought why not just drop by. I should go." And with that Rachel left and Lorelai sat back down and repositions the pram next to her and checked on the babies, taking Will out and giving him a cuddle, more for herself than for him.

"So that's Rachel?" Lorelai said.

"That's Rachel." Luke repeated going off to fill up someone's coffee.

When he returned Lorelai grabbed his wrist, "You ok?" She checked. Luke smiled at her, "I'm fine, really, I meant what I said. Come on are you finished? Let's go home."

Lorelai set Will back and took out her purse. "You don't have to pay you know?" Luke asked her smirking.

"Luke this is your business. I've always paid, and I always should pay." Lorelai pointed out.

Luke pulled a face, "but we are together." He pointed out, she continued to look at him with raised eyebrows, "Fine, but don't tip me. Tipping now is weird."

"Ok. Besides, I can tip you later." Lorelai tried to wink.

"That was weird too."

"I'm a very awkward winked."

Luke took her money and put it in the till, "you're never supposed to tip me, anyway."

"What?"

"I'm the proprietor. You're not supposed to tip the proprietor, even when they serve you."

"You mean all those years, that extra 20% was unnecessary?"

Luke told Ceasar he was leaving and would probably be back around Wednesday and then looked at Lorelai and scoffed, "you never tipped me 20%." He took the handles of the pram and left Lorelai following after him putting on her coat as she walked.

"Oohhh. Now it's getting ugly." She said going through the door.

"You were a solid 15 percenter, sometimes less if the bill got higher. Way less if you were mad at me about something."

Lorelai grinned as she responded, "well, it doesn't matter. I wasn't suppose to be tipping you, anyway."

"True."

"In fact, I want a rebate."

"What?"

"You've been ripping me off." Lorelai pointed out.

Luke turned and looked at her, "I just tried to give you free food, you wouldn't let me."

Lorelai looked thoughtful, "I want free coffee to make up for my over paying all these years."

"Deal. Although technically everyone does it not just you."

"Maybe I should spread the word around."

"No, I'll charge you double and make you pay if you do."

"Mean!"

Rory came home from her date with Dean to find her mother laughing in the living room with Luke. Lorelai noticed her come in and turned to her, "Rory what's wrong?" She rushed to her side and Rory ran into her room, Lorelai following her.

Lorelai came out of Rory's room half an hour later to find Luke still on the couch but Will to be in his arms now.

"Hey," He said, "she ok?"

"Dean and her broke up." Lorelai said sitting down.

"What?" Luke jumped to his feet startling Will.

"Will you calm down." Lorelai pulled him back down to sit next to her and took Will off him, "she doesn't want to make a big deal about it."

"I knew that kid was trouble." Luke growled, "what does he think he is playing at?"

"They're kids Luke. Kids brake up." Lorelai pointed out.

Luke sighed but he didn't look happy, "is she ok? How is she doing?"

"She's been dumped by her first boyfriend." Lorelai pointed out.

Luke growled but didn't say anything.

Over the next few days Rory was very productive and no matter how much Lorelai brought it up she refused to wallow due to how productive she was and how productive she was making everyone else be they were ready to move into the new house quicker than they thought they would be able to. That had many upsides but one downside for both Lorelai and Rory but mainly Lorelai. She now had to put her old house on the market and let other people live in it.

For the first visit from the social worker Luke had to go stand outside the old house and tell them how to get to the new house.

Friday approached and it was soon Friday night dinner. The five of them approached the house slowly and Luke stopped in his tracks, "this place is huge." He said looking up.

"Yes, hunny, you've been here twice." Lorelai replied with a smirk.

Luke gave her a look and said, "I know but I was preoccupied before, I never realised how big this place." He paused and then pointed a finger at Lorelai, "you used to live here?" He asked in a shocked voice and with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes I did." Lorelai responded, "now come on we've got to get inside the big scary house because it is cold out here." She pushed him gently towards the door where Rory stood with a small smirk looking at them.

"Ok," Luke approached the door, "but I am not ringing the door bell."

Rory groaned, "not another one!" She said.

"Another one?" Luke asked her.

Rory pointed at her mother, "that one won't ring the bell either, except for every now and then that she decided it's not fair I get to do all the fun door bell ringing and demands to do it herself." Rory then turned to face her mother, "is this one of the times that you like ringing bells?"

"Nope." Lorelai grinned at her and Rory rolled her eyes and rang it.

"So Lorelai , how are you liking the new house?" Emily asked once they where all situated in the living room with drinks.

"It's really nice I love it. We all do. But I keep going on walks to my old house and it's all empty and sad and for sale."

"You go on walks to your old house?"

"Yeah, I like to show it to Logan and Will, let them see where me and Rory came from."

"How nice." Emily said slightly confused.

"Although I must say this new house is exploding in bathrooms!" Lorelai grinned, although not pleased to clean them she did like the options.

"Your bathrooms are exploding?" Emily asked in shock and disgust, "Richard there must be something we can do about that!"

"No grandma, she just meant that there are a lot of bathrooms." Rory clarified.

"Lorelai why would you use such a word..." Emily started.

"Who wants to here about Chilton?" Rory asked saving the day distracting her Grandmother.

The next day was a Saturday and Rory was spending the day with Lane.

"Any plans for today?" Luke asked Lorelai as he held Logan like the expert he was quickly becoming.

"Nope, What about you, shouldn't you be in work by now?" Lorelai replied.

"I took today off. Thought that you know maybe would could do something?" He said shyly.

"Sure." Lorelai smiled at him, pretending not to notice that he was being shy about it, "what do you have in mind?"

"Oh well nothing in particular, you know little babies and all that." Luke said feeling stupid now.

"Why don't we just stay here and chat. I mean sure we know each other we have done for years but you probably know more about me than I do you, considering how much I talk, and well we should probably you know get to know each other a bit more." Lorelai suggested.

"Sure." Luke agreed with a smile and followed Lorelai as she walked into the living room with Will. She sat down with him still in her arms so Luke followed her head with Logan.

"So tell me the story of Luke Danes." She prompted with a comforting smile in his direction.

"Well my mum, Catherine, died when I was 11, my little sister Liz was 9. My dad, William, then died when I was 18 and my sister was 16. Neither of us took it great but Liz was so young and so confused anyway, never been that bright my sister. Anyway she got pregnant when dad was really ill and had a son just after he died, Jess, he is about Rory's age now, well he has always been about Rory's age, maybe a few months older, they live in New York, Liz doesn't keep in touch very often and I struggle to because she is always moving around but last I heard, Jess was having quite a hard time, my sister struggles with him. He is as bright as a light bulb though. Anyway as you know I grew up here in Stars Hallow, worked in my dads Hardware store since I was 16 and my dad got ill and then when I was about 20 I turned it into a diner. What else? Well in high school I was into a lot of sports, I still go for runs and stuff but I used to be really into track and baseball. Yeah that's pretty much me." Luke said.

"That's not a very cheerful story Luke." She said with a sad look on her face, "I hope, well I hope that I can bring some joy to it." She said gently.

"You already have." Luke assured her.

"What about ex girlfriends, as your wife now you have to tell me." Lorelai grinned.

Luke rolled his eyes but started talking, "Well I've been on dates and stuff but I've only really ever had two serious girlfriends. There was Rachel, who you met. She was my first girlfriend, we were on again off again for years, me and stars hollow were never enough for her. And then there was Anna, I dated her for a little over a year, on one of my off again periods with Rachel actually."

"Once again Luke not filled with joy."

"Sorry." He tried lamely.

"Don't apologise, nothing to be sorry about." Lorelai said softly, "I didn't mean it like that."

"What about you, let's hear about Lorelai Gilmore."

"Lorelai Danes now actually." Lorelai corrected him with a smirk causing his face to break into a smile.

"Well Lorelai Gilmore was born to Emily and Richard Gilmore. She however was never right, she didn't fit into the perfect picture life that was expected of her. Some say she was too cool for that some say too adventurous but the leading theory is that she was simply too fun." Lorelai spoke with a smile. Luke rolled his eyes.

"Anyway when she grew up, kinda, she had a baby with Christopher Hayden, one of her parents friends son who also didn't fit in. Christopher was not ready for the beautiful baby that Lorelai had and they parted ways. Lorelai and her baby girl Rory ran away from the Gilmores and came to a lovely little town called Stars Hallow where they met many many people. Among their favourites were Mia, the person who owned the Inn Lorelai worked at and who gave them a house to live in, even if it was an old shed. Other favourites were Sookie, the best friend cook and Luke the diner man. Lorelai and Rory in a way grew up together and they had great fun doing so. They were the best of friends. When Rory was young Lorelai refused to date, not wanting Rory to get attached to any man however when Rory entered high school she told her mother herself that it had been long enough. Lorelai went on a few dates but nothing really stuck, if she was being perfectly honest with herself, which she wasn't being, she had a thing for the diner man mentioned earlier in the story. Anyway, Lorelai hit it off slightly with Rory's English teacher, but that didn't work out for her. Then one day Luke turned up at her door like he had done many times in the past but this time was different for one thing it was very late for another thing he had a tiny baby in his arms and there was another one at his feet." Lorelai smiled at the baby in her arms that gurgled back at her.

"You're quite the story teller." Luke chuckled at her, "and you are right I did know most of it."

"So Christopher and Max? Is that it?" He asked after a moments silence.

"Yeah, that's it."

That evening when Rory had returned Luke took them all to Sniffys for dinner.

"Lucas!" Maizy greeted him at the door, "where have you been?" She asked him and then saw the company he had including the stroller, "I think you have some explaining to do as she led the five of them to a large booth and got them to sit down, "hang on, I'll just go get buddy, whatever this is he'll want to know too." She ran off to get her husband.

"I think they know him." Lorelai said in a stage whisper to Rory who giggled at her mother.

"That's Maizy and it seems you'll meet her husband buddy soon, good friends of my parents, I knew them growing up and I come here all the time."

"See that's something you could have included in your story." Lorelai pointed out.

"Story?" Rory asked.

"Nothing sweets just chatting. Did you know Luke had a sister and a nephew about your age?"

"No, where do they live?" She asked Luke.

"New York." Luke replied as Maizy and Buddy turned back up and took a seat.

"So, son, anything to tell us?" Buddy asked him.

"Ummmm Yeah, kinda.." Luke said awkwardly and Lorelai smiled slightly, 'kinda' she thought with a small shake of her head.

"I guess I'll just start at the start." Luke said.

"Some say the start is the best starting place." Lorelai added, nervous herself.

"Shush you." Luke smiled at her.

"Well Will and Logan, well ummm actually just one of them was left in the diner with the other one being left outside Lorelai house. So I ran over there and we were left with two babies that we are adopting and we got married." Luke said, not the best story teller, he then added, "oh and that's Lorelai's daughter Rory."

"What?" Maizy asked.

"Let me he's hopeless." Lorelai said, "late on the 14th of early 15th of January Luke came barging over to my house in a panic. A baby in his arms and another at his feet when I opened the door. We were both really confused as to what was going on but we took the babies inside because it was really cold. Anyway a note was left for each of us with each baby. A girl had been pregnant and had been hanging around town and watching us apparently. She didn't want to keep her babies and she somehow got it in her head that she wanted people just like us to raise them. Her parents brought her hundreds of people willing to adopt the babies but she rejected them all. Anyway she panicked it would seem and just left them with us. It's pretty safe to say that we also panicked. Anyway we didn't know what would happen to them if we gave them to social services and she had asked us to name them, William Richard Danes and Logan Lucas Danes, we felt quite attached and we wanted to adopt them. We visited my parents, I guess I was tired or something, they can be a bit over the top and before we knew it we had a lawyer there who told us that we should be good adopting them but some judges frown on people who aren't married adopting babies. So last Friday we got married at my parents house actually, but if everything turns out well, which I hope it will, we will get married properly in a year, the adoption will be done then and we will just be doing it because we want to." Lorelai tried to explain better.

"So you're telling me that Lucas is married and is adopting two babies and has a step daughter?" Buddy asked.

"Yes that is what I am telling you about Lucas." Lorelai smiled at Lucas who mouthed at her not to call him that.

"Ummmm well wow, I think I need a minute for that to sink in." Maizy said leaning back into the booth.

"Congratulations I guess." Miazy said after her minute.

"Thanks." Luke smiled at her shyly.

"Now Lucas, don't get angry with me or anything, but I have to ask, is this really what you want?" Buddy asked him.

"Yes," Luke said without a moments hesitation, "I've known Lorelai and Rory for ages and they are both amazing, I am more than lucky to have them in my life, as for Will and Logan, well look at them, they are so small and hopeless I couldn't not help them and we were chosen and well I love them. All of them."

"Ok, son, I just had to check, congratulations then, I'll get some champagne."

"I don't really like.."

"You will drink the champagne Lucas." Then sighed, "honestly." She said shaking her head causing Lorelai and Rory to giggle.

"Yeah Lucas, honestly." Rory said causing both her and her mother to laugh harder and Maizy to join in with the giggles.

"Not you too." Luke sighed, "it's Luke to anyone who has not seen me as a baby."

"Mia called you Lucas, one time when I was little." Rory pointed out.

"And Mia was friends with my mum." Luke countered.
