"I can't believe he kicked us out" Lorelai whined as Jess drove the girls back to the house after Luke had made them leave.
"He was right, you shouldn't spend the night on an uncomfortable chair" Rory told her Mom.
"It's not like I'll be much more comfortable on the bed" Lorelai scoffed.
"It's better to sleep on than that chair"
"I won't be able to sleep anyhow" Lorelai mumble.
"Mom, he's fine. The doctor told you so, the nurse told you so, and even Luke told you so. Tomorrow night he'll be back home sleeping with you, so try and relax" Rory tried to convince Lorelai who only took a deep breath.

Paris was originally going to spend the weekend there since Luke and Lorelai were going on the trip; the girls were gonna go shopping for stuff to put on the new apartment. Now Paris was there for the night, and if needed she was going to spend the weekend. Rory and Paris were already asleep in Rory's room. Jess and Samantha were also sleeping. Lorelai, however, was lying on her side clutching Luke's pillow and crying. She was thinking on how different everything could have turned out, even though Luke was ok. She also thought that if it wasn't because of Emily, Luke would have her in wrapped in his arms. Lorelai felt the twins move slightly and she smiled.
Samantha was coming out of the bathroom; she had a slight nausea pang and rushed to the bathroom. The night's events played in her mind, and she couldn't help but think that it could've happened that day she was making lunch. She was relived Lorelai had stopped her in time before she added the seeds. Sam quietly opened Rory's door to see how she was, after all Luke was her Dad, Sam smiled when she saw her peacefully sleeping, when she opened Lorelai's door that was a different story.
"Hey" Lorelai said in a cracking voice. "What are you doing up?" she quickly whipped her eyes.
"I felt a little sick" Sam said from the door way.
"Aw, come here" Lorelai scooted a bit so Sam could get in.
"It's ok if you cry" Sam said as she got more comfortable.
"I wasn't crying" Lorelai quickly said.
"It's ok if you are; I know I was when you guys first left"
"Really?"
"Yeah, I freaked Paris out" Sam said smiling and Lorelai giggled.
"I was so scared"
"Everybody was. It was actually kinda scary to think that a little seed could bring down Luke" silence fell.
"You said you were sick?" it downed on Lorelai.
"Yeah, I felt icky. I feel better now; your bed is very comfy"
"Yeah, everybody keeps telling me that" Lorelai said amused.
"How many people sleep on your bed?" Sam asked giggling.
"Oh you know" Lorelai waved it off. "Just the occasional stripper"
"Ew gross!" Sam shrieked, quietly so they wouldn't wake up the rest of the house.
"You're grossed out by me saying strippers sleep here, but are perfectly fine knowing the twins were conceived here?"
"Oh God, I hadn't thought of that" Sam groaned, Lorelai laughed. They kept whispering a little while longer before they both fell asleep. An hour or so after they were both sleeping, Rory stumbled into the room. She saw them sleeping comfortably and climbed in behind Lorelai. The three girls slept peacefully the rest of the night.

Jess and Sam had stayed home while Paris drove Rory and Lorelai over to pick up Luke. Paris tried to distract herself on the drive there, since Lorelai kept humming in the back seat.
"Ready to go?" Lorelai asked while entering Luke's room.
"You drove here?" he eyed her. Luke was sitting on the bed, in front of him sat an untouched food plate. Lorelai shook her head.
"Paris drove us here" she walked closer to him. "Rory is waiting with Paris outside" she elaborated. "Rory didn't want to leave Paris alone after she drove us here without saying a peep about my humming. And since Paris gets freaked out by sick people, she didn't want to come in"
"I'm not sick" Luke clarified. "Wait, she gets freaked out by sick people?" Lorelai nodded. "Isn't she studying to become a doctor?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Never mind" Luke said and then the doctor stepped in.
"How are you doing today, Mr. Danes?" the doctor asked while going over Luke's chart.
"Ready to go" Luke grumbled. Lorelai eyed him.
"Well, let's run a few tests and if everything is ok you'll be free to go"
On ThE DrIvE BaCk
"This is degrading" Luke grumbled. He and Lorelai were riding in the backseat as Paris drove them back home; her and Rory were talking and planning.
"You're supposed to take then next couple of days easy. That meant no driving long distances" Lorelai told him, she was enjoying this.
"Stop mocking me" Luke told her.
"I'm not mocking you, I'm just rejoicing on the fact that you can't drive" she smirked at him.
"Oh, sorry for accusing you then" Luke said sarcastically.
"You're forgiven" she said brightly and he just glared at her.
When they got home, Jess and Samantha already had the table set for a big family breakfast. Neither Luke nor Lorelai were expecting that. Jess said that since they didn't have a family dinner last night, that they were having a family breakfast.
Luke was sitting on the chair he was no more than twelve hours ago; Lorelai was sitting across from him. On one side of the table were Jess and Samantha, and on the other end were Rory and Paris. Lorelai saw how Luke said something to Jess and then both of them smirked, she also saw how the three girls talked and laughed this is how yesterday was supposed to be Lorelai thought.
"Hey!" Lorelai was brought out of her dream by Rory's voice. "I was gonna grab that"
"Too slow" Jess smirked taking a bite out of a pancake, which was immediately followed by a smack on the head from Luke. "Hey"
"Behave" Luke told him, Rory poked her tongue at Jess.
"You too" Lorelai told Rory, Jess smirked. Paris saw the interaction amused, it wasn't that long ago that Rory had a thing for Jess and now here they were bickering and being treated like little kids. Paris had only once spent the night in a 'friends' house and it had been Rory's; thinking back to that time Paris notices how much had changed. Not only were they in another house, but it was like they were living a completely different life. If she didn't know better, she'd think it had always been like this.
When everybody had finished Rory stood up and began cleaning up. Luke tried to help her but was yelled at by Lorelai.
"Fine, I have to go check up on the diner anyhow" Luke stood up.
"Oh no you don't. You need to march that cute butt of yours upstairs and rest" Lorelai told him.
"I'm not gonna spend all day sleeping Lorelai"
"Well, you're not going to the diner either"
"I have to" he said sternly but not raising his voice because they were still in the dinning room.
"Actually you don't" Jess piped in. "I'm taking care of it" he stood up.
"You are?" Luke turned to look skeptically at Jess.
"Yep, I'm on my way right now" he gave a quick kiss to Sam and began to walk away. "Don't worry, and rest" he told Luke then left.
"You heard the boy, rest" Lorelai said and pointed upstairs.
"I have to clean the stuff here"
"No you don't, I've got it" Rory said as she walked by him. Lorelai just smiled and pointed upstairs.
"I'm not tired" Luke told her.
"Still, the doctor said you had to rest"
"I know I have to rest, I was the one missing a week of school every time this thing happened just so I could rest"
"A whole week?" Rory shrieked. "I couldn't do that"
"Well my parents were kind of health freaks…"
"Tsk" Lorelai scoffed and Luke ignored her.
"… they just wanted to make sure I was ok"
"So do we" Sam suddenly said. Everybody turned to look at her. "Well we do" she defended herself before grabbing some dirty dishes and helped Rory out.
"I know Sam" Luke called after her. "I'm just not the type of person who can sleep all day" he took a seat again.
"You don't have to sleep all day" Paris told him. "What's with all patients thinking that rest means sleep? It just means taking the day easier than how you would normally do" she ranted.
"O-kay, you heard from Dr. Freaky" Lorelai said and Luke smiled.
"So that means I can't go to the diner or work in the attic…"
"You can't drive either" Lorelai added to his list.
"Then what the hell do I do?"
"Welcome to the day in the life of…" Lorelai pointed to herself.
"That's karma for you" Rory said taking a seat.
"How is that karma?" Luke asked her.
"Well… you're the reason my Mom has to stay home, so now you have to stay home too" Rory told him.
"I'm not the reason she has to stay home, the babies are" Luke pointed out.
"And who's responsible for the twins being there?" Rory asked him amusedly. Luke blushed slightly and also said.
"Ah" after saying that his chin dropped to his chest. Lorelai was trying hard not to laugh at Luke.
"Come on, Hon" Lorelai stood and walked over to where Luke was. "Let's go watch a movie or something" she grabbed his hand.
"Hey, Luke?" Samantha called once they were walking out of the dinning room.
"Yeah?" he turned around to look at her.
"Umm, did you guys buy a new bed?" Sam finally asked.
"When?" Luke was confused, Lorelai grinned.
"When you guys first moved here, did you buy a new bed? Or did you bring the one you guys had before?" Sam elaborated.
"It's the same one we had, why?" Luke asked, and Lorelai just giggled.
"Umm… no, no reason" Samantha stumbled over her words and blushed; Lorelai laughed and began dragging Luke again.
"What was that?" Luke asked when they walked into the living room.
"Ignore her, she's weird" Lorelai waved it off. Luke helped her sit then sat next to her.
"You should know" he said and got smacked for it; he chuckled. "What are we watching?" he asked when she turned the TV on.
"I don't know. Friday daytime TV" Lorelai shrugged as she changed the channels.
"We have a ridiculous amount of movies and we're gonna watch daytime TV?"
"Yep" was all Lorelai said. Luke shook his head but smiled, then turned to look at the TV screen.
A little while later the three girls walked into the living room with snacks, healthy ones also, and they all crammed on the floor in front of the TV. The five of them finally agreed on a movie, after about half an hour of bickering, and were now watching it.
Once the movie was over Sam offered to go to the diner and help Jess out for the lunch rush. Rory told her Mom she was gonna order something to eat while they decided what other movie to see next. Paris had left the living room for a bathroom run; she actually didn't want to be there for another decision about what to see. So now Luke and Lorelai were alone in the living room.
"Comfy?" Luke asked Lorelai; she was leaning against him with on leg on the coffee table and the other one flat on the floor.
"Very" she said after taking a deep breath. "I haven't been this comfortable in a while" Luke made a move to put his arm around her but she quickly stopped him. "Don't you dare move" she warned. He instantly froze. "Smart boy" after she said that she wiggled a little. "Damn it Luke" she said frustrated. "You moved! Now I'm all uncomfortable" Luke sighed and shook his head.
"I ordered Chinese" Rory said walking into the living room. "What's wrong?" she asked giggling when she saw Lorelai was pouting.
"Luke moved" Lorelai said and pouted more, Rory just laughed at that.
They kept watching movies just the four of them. Samantha stayed at they diner helping Jess out, even after the lunch rush was over. At dinner Rory called Jess at the diner and told him to bring food with him after his shift. When the dinner rush was over, Sam and Jess left the diner in the capable hands of Lane and Caesar. When they got home Lorelai barked at them for taking so long to bring them food. All of them ate at the living room because they were watching 'That 70's show'. Right after dinner Luke called it a night and left everybody else in the living room. Lorelai also called it a night and left after Luke.
"What are you doing?" Luke asked when Lorelai walked into their bedroom a few seconds after him.
"I'm going to bed" she stated grabbing her PJ's.
"Why?"
"Because I'm tired"
"You don't have to go to bed just because I am"
"Don't worry, I'm not. In case you hadn't noticed I'm on my last month"
"I know"
"And it's not a normal pregnancy either, they're twins"
"I know" Luke said a little more annoyed.
"And you may not know this, but carrying twins around all day is tiring. Especially since I've been doing it for the better part of the year now"
"What can I do to make you stop?" he wondered out loud.
"Buy me a pony" Lorelai said with a smile.
"Forget it. Keep going, you left off on 'the better part of the year' go on" Luke said and then went over to get changed as Lorelai kept rambling.

"Do you want to go to the mall with us tomorrow?" Rory asked Samantha.
"Sure, oh wait…" Samantha turned to look at Jess. "We didn't have plans, did we?"
"No, I'm gonna work at the diner tomorrow also" Jess said and looked annoyingly at Rory.
"What was that?" Sam asked Rory.
"Jess is a little pissed at me right now'' Rory waved it off.
"Why?" Samantha asked, she was preparing her speech at Jess.
"Because I'm making him work tomorrow. I figured Luke and Mom could use at least a day to their selves since their trip go cancelled" Rory explained.
"And you don't think Luke deserves a day off?" Samantha asked Jess.
"I never said that, just… I don't like working on Saturday's that's all" Jess answered.
"Well I think it's a great idea" Sam said with a smile.
"Good. So be ready to leave by nine, we'll eat on the way there" Rory said.
"Why so early?" Paris groaned, she was also going along.
"That way we'll be gone by the time they're up" Rory reasoned.
"Luke'll be up way before then" Jess pointed out.
"Luke just left the hospital, he's sleeping in" Rory said confidently. "He was barely keeping his eyes opened right now. And even if he tries to get up early Mom wont let him" Rory smiled.
"Why are you even arguing?" Paris asked. "You're supposed to be at the diner for breakfast anyways" she told Jess.
"I know, and that's why I'm going to bed now" he got up. "Night" he said then walked over to Sam and kissed her.
"Wait, I'm tired also" Samantha told him. "I'll be ready to go by eight thirty that way I can rush you" she told Rory.
"Good idea" Paris piped in.
"Night guys" Sam said smiling at Rory's facial expression.

"Are you comfortable?" Luke asked, he was standing besides the bed and Lorelai was lying on it.
"Yes" she said sleepily.
"You sure?" he confirmed.
"Yep, you can get in now" she slurred and he obeyed. "Told you it was a good idea" she whispered.
"Sleep" Luke told her.
"Love you" she said before falling asleep.
"Love you too" he yawned and also fell asleep.
NeXt MoRnInG
Jess left early so he could be at the diner for the breakfast rush. Sam, Rory, and Paris had left a little ahead of schedule but not before leaving breakfast/lunch and a note for Luke and Lorelai. Right now it was ten thirty and Lorelai was beginning to stir in bed, Luke was lying next to her rubbing and whispering to her stomach. That was mainly the reason she was waking up.
"Can't believe you're still here" Lorelai mumbled with eyes still closed but with a smile.
"I had no choice" Luke answered; he turned to look at her but kept his hand on her stomach moving it lazily.
"Huh?" she turned to look at him, finally opening her eyes.
"Do you hear that?"
"My stomach growling?"
"Umm, no" Luke answered with a smirked. "We're alone" he stated.
"That's because we're in our room. And we're not alone, the boys are here" she pointed to where Luke's hand was. "Wait, why isn't there screaming?"
"Because we're alone" Luke repeated.
"What are you taking about? Last night we left four annoying kids downstairs, where did they go?"
"Apparently Jess is taking care of the Diner, the girls went to the Mall and on their way back they'll stop by the Inn and check on it. They'll be home for dinner"
"How do you know all this?"
"They left a note and breakfast slash lunch downstairs"
"Seriously? They're gone?" Luke nodded and turned his attention back to her stomach that was moving slightly on its own, he smiled. "Did they give a time when they were coming home?" Lorelai smiled because of the babies movements, Luke's sweet side, and the fact that they were gonna be alone for the better part of the day.
"(kiss) Around (kiss) eight (kiss)" Luke said while kissing her stomach where it was moving.
"Wow, they gave us a pretty big window" Lorelai said amused while playing with Luke's hair.
"Yeah, they said it was because we missed out on our trip" Luke turned to look up at her while resting his head on her stomach, ear plaster to it so he could listen to the squishy sounds.
"Aw that's nice" Lorelai kept messing Luke's hair. They both suddenly burst into laughter when her stomach made a very weird sound.
"Was that the twins or are you hungry?" Luke asked chuckling.
"A mixture of both" she smiled but neither of them made a move to get up. "So, what do we do?"
"Nothing" Luke smiled.
"Oh my, did Luke Danes just suggest we waste the day away?" Lorelai asked with fake shock.
"Wow, maybe my allergic reaction had some repercussions that no one saw" Luke mocked but then he saw Lorelai's face. "What?" he furrowed his brow.
"Don't joke with that" Lorelai told him but it sounded more like she was pleading.
"Lorelai, I'm…"
"Please" she interrupted him.
"Ok" he reassured her, pushed himself up and gave her a soft kiss. "So what do we do?" he asked before returning to his previous position, on her stomach.
"I liked your doing nothing idea, seems doable" she smiled, allergic reaction forgotten.
"Ok then" Luke said and got more comfortable, Lorelai's hands on his hair and the soft sounds the twins were making were lullabying him to sleep again.
"Oh no" Lorelai said and yanked at his hair lightly.
"Hey!"
"You did not wake me up just so you could fall asleep mister. Now get up and get us something to eat" Lorelai demanded.
"Us?"
"The boys and me"
"So I don't get to eat?" he narrowed his eyes at her.
"Depends on your behavior" she said with a bright smile.
"If I'm getting up, then you're getting up" Luke said yanking on her arm once he was standing next to her.
"But I don't know how do cook" she pouted.
"I never said you'd cook, I'll cook. You just, take a shower or something" Luke waved it off.
"So your plan is to not let me sleep?" she eyed him while sitting up.
"Something like that" he smiled.

"So when are you gonna go pick them up?" Lorelai asked. They had gone downstairs to eat and then went back up to their room, right now Lorelai was on the bed while Luke went over to put a movie and close the blinds.
"Not today" was all Luke said.
"Why?" Lorelai whined. "We have to decorate the house" she pouted.
"I'm supposed to be resting, and going over to the old house to look for boxes of Christmas decorations does not constitute as resting" Luke went back over to the bed.
"But Luke…"
"Plus you're not supposed to exhaust yourself. So I doubt you'll be decorating this year" Luke sat on his side of the bed with his back resting on the head of the bed.
"Whoa stop right there. There is no way you'll keep me away from decorating. I love Christmas and all of its quirks, decorating being one of them"
"Lorelai…"
"I won't go on ladders or pick up boxes. Please" Lorelai was whining like a spoiled little girl, Luke sighed.
"Fine"
"Yay!"
"But you'll take it easy"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm tired of everybody saying that" Lorelai mumbled.
"Me too"
"What are you complaining about? You've only been hearing that for a day, I've been hearing it for months"
"And that's why you're a better people person than me" he smirked.
"You're gonna keep telling me to 'take it easy' aren't you?"
"Yeah" Lorelai groaned. "Shh the movie" Luke pointed to the screen where the opening credits were rolling.
HaLf An HoUr LaTeR
Lorelai was sitting between Luke's legs and leaning against his chest as they watched 'Bad Boys II'. Luke's arms encircled her waist, hands resting on her stomach. Every time something exploded the babies moved.
"Stop laughing" Luke whispered into her ear. "I think we should change the movie"
"Why? Are you scared?" she teased.
"No, but they are"
"Don't worry they have their Daddy here to defend them" she mocked him.
"Shut up" Luke grumbled but tightened his grip on her momentarily.
The movie ended and they turned the TV off but didn't leave the bed. Lorelai was lying on her back with Luke slightly on top of her making out, even though both of them were shirtless.
"This is fun" Lorelai said breathlessly while Luke kissed her neck.
"MmmHmm" Luke mumbled his mouth was busy; one of his hands was still caressing her stomach while the other one was tangled in her hair. Lorelai grabbed Luke's cheeks and pulled him up for another heated kiss.
"Mmm" Lorelai moaned then she giggled when a baby kicked Luke's hand away. "Play nice" she mumbled against Luke's lips.
"I'm not doing anything" Luke mumbled back.
"You're tickling them" Lorelai told him, they didn't pull back from kissing even though they were talking.
"Am not" Luke began tickling her. "Now I am" Lorelai's hand flew over to Luke's tickling one.
"Stop it" she was breathless both from the tickling and the kissing. "Aw now look what you've done" her other hand moved to the other side of hr stomach where the other baby began kicking. Luke smiled more, and moved his head over her stomach.
"Morning guys" Luke whispered.
"Look at you. Who would've thought you'd be such a softy" she teased.
"Shut up" Luke told her before he began showering her stomach with kisses, Lorelai sigh.
"Hey Luke?" she asked panting.
"Yeah?"
"As long as we're in bed we can do whatever we want, right? That's bed rest?" she turned to look down at him. Luke saw her devilish grin and smirked.
"Yeah, I think that's what it is" he moved up to capture her lips again.
KiTcHeN
"Never thought I'd get so hungry" Lorelai said stabbing a spoon into a carton of ice cream.
"Don't eat that, or at least get a bowl" Luke was making them something to eat, he was only wearing his boxers and Lorelai was only wearing one of his shirts. There had been something different about this time, it had to do with the fact that they were alone and there was no danger of someone walking in on them.
"Don't worry, I plan on eating it all" and as to prove her point she shoved a spoonful into her mouth.
"Gross" Luke mumbled making a face.
"Hey! I'm gonna need something filling cause that soup you're making there won't do it" she walked over to stand next to Luke, she leaned her back on the counter next to the stove. Luke gave her a quick kiss.
"Chocolaty" Luke said after licking his lips.
"Delicious, huh?" Lorelai stabbed the ice cream again.
"Not the word I was thinking"
"Hey?" she tapped Luke's shoulder.
"Yeah?" Luke turned to look at her, Lorelai opened her mouth saying 'ah', Luke imitated her and Lorelai shoved the spoon into his mouth. When she pulled the spoon back it was ice cream less, she smiled and leaned in to kiss him.
"Chocolaty kisses are better than normal ones"
"If you say so" Luke turned back to the stove. "They won't get cold, will they?" Luke pointed at her big belly.
"Umm, no" Lorelai said giggling. Luke never asked odd questions like that, mostly because they were hardly ever alone and if they were, they were most certainly exhausted from the day.
"Oh ok" Lorelai smiled at him, smoothed some hairs that were askew on his head, and then went over to turn on the radio 'My Humps' was starting and Lorelai danced as best as she could. Luke turned to look at her amused, he began laughing. "You're crazy" Lorelai turned and smiled as she walked closer to him.
"You love it" Lorelai stood in front of him; Luke placed his hands on her hips. Lorelai placed her arms around his neck close to the end of the song, where it slows down a little. And they began dancing to the piano beat.
"I love you" he whispered into her ear.
"Ditto" Lorelai said.
"How very 'Ghost' of you" Luke teased before kissing her quickly and turning back to the stove. Lorelai was shocked.
"Did you just quote a Demi Moore movie?" Lorelai, again, reclined against the counter next to the stove.
"Who?" Luke turned to give her a confused look.
"The girl in the movie, her name is Demi Moore; she's dating Ashton Kutcher now" Lorelai declared proudly.
"Who?"
"Never mind" Lorelai quickly gave up. "How much longer?" Lorelai whined.
"Almost done stop complaining" Luke made the short trip and was now standing in front of her, he placed his hands flat on the counter's surface on each side of Lorelai.
"I was not complaining I just wanted to know" she said with a smile. Lorelai was really enjoying this day; being just the two of them alone always brought out Luke's sweet and playful side.
"Yeah right" Luke said directly to her lips before kissing her.
"Mmm, think we can kick them out tomorrow also?" Lorelai asked quietly with her eyes still closed.
"We can but they might not go, besides we need them to bring the Christmas boxes over" Luke said, kissed her, and then returned to the soup. "Done. Pass me some plates" Lorelai obeyed giggling. "What?"
"They always move when they hear your voice" Lorelai told him, handed him the plates, and then placed her right hand on the side of her stomach giggling.
"Really?" Luke smiled brightly, Lorelai nodded.
"I think they know who you are" Lorelai placed her left palm on his cheek, Luke was smiling. If it weren't for Jess and Sam living there with them, then everyday would be like this one, all mushy all day long.
"Umm… grab the drinks, please?" Luke tried to hide the fact that he was blushing. Lorelai smiled at how cute he was being but didn't rub it in, no need to ruin the moment they were in.
The both of them took a seat and began eating, no need to use the dinning room table so they ate in the kitchen even though Luke told Lorelai stool's weren't the best idea. Luke made fun of Lorelai when she burn her tongue with the soup, then blamed him for not warning her that the soup he had just made was hot.
"Mmm comfort food" Lorelai said after she could finally eat, and taste, the soup.
"It's not comfort food. And I'm glad you like it" they kept eating in silence, until Lorelai broke it.
"Hey, Hon?"
"What do you want?" Luke asked recognizing her tone of voice.
"I was just thinking…" Luke exhaled loudly and Lorelai ignored him. "…and I think you should be the one to talk to the boys about sex" Lorelai said before eating more.
"What?" Luke choked on his soup.
"Well, you're the Dad and they're boys. You have the same 'parts' and stuff" Lorelai shrugged.
"They're not even born yet, how can you be thinking about that?" Luke was very amused at her trail of thought.
"Just thought I'd save us some future headaches" Lorelai shrugged. Luke decided not to push the matter any further and he just kept eating. "Although if we have a daughter later on…" that got Luke's attention. "… you'll also have 'the talk' with her"
"What! How do you figure that?"
"Well, you already had the practice with the boys. You'll be used to it" Lorelai said in a 'duh' tone of voice.
"You know, I'm not even gonna argue that" was all Luke said.
"Good to know" Lorelai smiled proudly at what she had 'accomplished'.
ArOuNd FiVe
Luke and Lorelai had moved over to the living room. No TV, no radio, no nothing. It was just the two of them, or four however you wanna look at it, relaxing on the couch enjoying the other's company. Lorelai was lying down with her feet on Luke's lap as he massaged them.
"You're very good at that" Lorelai cooed.
"I know, otherwise you wouldn't be pregnant with twins right now" Luke said smirking which Lorelai didn't see because she had her eyes closed, enjoying the moment. Lorelai at first tried to scoff it off but then she burst into giggles.
"Idiot" Lorelai said playfully and kicked his side with the foot he wasn't massaging, Luke just chuckled. Lorelai suddenly gasped.
"Are you ok?" Luke got concerned because of her pained expression, Lorelai shook her head. "What's wrong?"
"Cramp, cramp, cramp!" Lorelai pointed to her foot. The coldish air plus the extra weight she's been carrying around lately made her foot cramp up. "Fix it!" Lorelai shrieked. Luke just chuckled and gave it a try. "Ah! Don't touch it!" Lorelai yelled at him when he touched it and it felt worst.
"You just told me to"
"I said fix it, not make it worse!" Lorelai told him the whimpered. "It hurt's" she pouted.
"I can't make it better if you don't let me touch it" Luke explained and she laughed. "I know what I'm doing here" after all he had been in track.
"Fine" Lorelai sighed and winced when Luke grabbed her foot. After Luke had worked the cramp away he kissed her foot before letting go of it. "You did know what you were doing" Lorelai sounded amazed.
"I used to get cramps all the time…"
"And did you take Midol?" Lorelai interrupted but Luke ignored her.
"So I knew what I was doing just now" Luke finished, Lorelai's comment fell on deaf ears.
"You ready?" Lorelai suddenly asked after a little silence.
"For what?"
"The twins to be born" wow, no sarcastic comment, this must be serious Luke thought.
"Yeah. Well, at least I hope I am" Luke began confidently but broke near the end.
"That's not very reassuring"
"I'm ok, I just… it's gonna be the first time I'm a round a baby" Luke said shyly.
"No it's not, what about Martha?"
"I meant for extended periods of time"
"You'll do great and if not… then who cares, they're your kids. If there is gonna be a screwed kid in your history it better be your own kid" Lorelai said with a confidant nod.
"What?" Luke chuckled.
"That's what I told myself before Rory was born. It made dealing with the whole thing a lot easier" Lorelai explained, Luke thought about it for a while and then nodded.
"Guess you're right"
"I always am, babe. Now come over here so I can kiss you because there's no way I'm moving" Lorelai told him; Luke smirked before moving closer to her lips, and then kissing her. The phone rang. "Get that, please?" Lorelai smiled, Luke sighed and went over to answer it.
"Hello?"
"You guys aren't naked are you?" Rory's voice asked.
"What? No!" Luke said and Lorelai looked at him.
"Ok, I'll believe you. I just called to say that we're going to go to the Inn now, and then we'll go get food before going back to the house"
"Ok"
"Can you ask my Mom what she wants to eat?"
"Hold on" Luke told Rory, covered the phone, and walked over to Lorelai. "Rory" Luke said while handing Lorelai the phone.
"Hey kid" Lorelai said brightly.
"Hi Mom! How's the day been going?"
"Oh my God, it's been great thanks so much" Lorelai sighed in contempt.
"Good. We'll be home in a couple of hours and I wanted to know what you wanted to eat"
"Your brothers are in a pizza mood" Lorelai said and Luke smiled at the 'brothers' part.
"They have good taste" Rory mocked. "Well, Mom, I'm gonna let you enjoy the last couple of quiet hours"
"Oh they haven been 'quiet' hours" Lorelai said suggestively with a smirk, Luke shook his head.
"Gross!" Rory shrieked and Lorelai smiled.
"Love you, kid"
"Bye Mom" and Rory hung up quickly before Lorelai added something grosser.
"Why did you tell her that?" Luke asked as soon as Lorelai placed the phone down.
"I didn't say anything bad. I just told her we haven't been quiet, which we haven't because we've talked and watched movies and listen to music and yeah we did some dirty stuff, which wasn't quiet either, but I didn't tell her that. I think you and Rory have very dirty minds" Lorelai said with a knowing nod. Luke shot her a glare.
SoMeTiMe LaTeR
"Mom, foods here!" Rory yelled once entering the house, Sam and Paris walked straight to the living room. "And we rented 'The Island' so we can mock it" Rory also went to the living room and placed the pizza boxes and movie down on the coffee table. Paris and Sam had placed their shopping bags on the floor.
"Be right there!" Lorelai called from the upstairs. Luke and her had gone to their room a while ago, and right now they were admiring the soon to be occupied nursery. "We have to stop doing this" Lorelai told Luke in a quiet voice, she meant being like they were in the nursery.
"No we don't" Luke said with a smile. Lorelai was sitting on the rocking chair holding a teddy-bear with Luke squatting in front of her, he has his arms crossed and they rested on her lap.
"Today was bad for your manliness" Lorelai giggled.
"Shut up" Luke told her gruffly but his smile betrayed his true feelings.
"Help me up so we can go mock Ewan McGregor" Lorelai said, Luke smirked and helped her up. Lorelai sat the teddy-bear where she had been sitting and then she and Luke left the nursery.
"Took you long enough" Rory said when Lorelai walked into the living room.
"Want something to drink?" Luke asked Lorelai before going to the kitchen.
"Coke please" Lorelai smiled at him.
"Me too" the other three girls said at the same time, Luke rolled his eyes.
"Piece, please" Lorelai extended her hand at Rory once she was settled on the couch; Rory gave her a weird look but handed her a piece of pizza. "So good" Lorelai mumbled after the first bite. "And very hot"
"Here" just then Luke came back and gave her a soda can, he did the same to the other three girls and placed his water bottle on the coffee table. With Lorelai, Samantha, and Paris occupying the couch Luke took a seat on the floor in front of Lorelai. Rory was putting the movie in. "What's the movie about?"
"Sorry, Hon but if we tell you then there's no point to the movie anymore" Lorelai told him and patted his head, Luke mumbled something.
"What's that?" Rory pointed to the slice of pizza Luke was holding.
"Pizza, I thought you already knew what it was" Luke teased before taking a bite out of it.
"Since when do you eat pizza?" Rory asked.
"I'm really not in a cooking mood right now, so I might as well eat this" Luke shrugged.
"Mom, what did you do to him?"
"Nothing. Although I can't say I'm not proud of him" Lorelai teased.
"Drop it or tomorrow I'm making steamed broccoli for dinner"
"Dropped" Rory quickly said.
About fifteen minutes into the movie Jess walked through the door and said nothing because the movie was going on, he just quietly sat down and watched it. Twenty minutes after Jess had gotten home Luke had fallen asleep.
"Oh my God, what if we're in a world like that one just waiting to go to the island? What if the twins aren't actually mine?"
"Shut up, Mom" Rory said only half paying attention to Lorelai.
"You'll be sorry for ignoring me once they take the boys away" Lorelai pouted.
"Shh" Jess shushed her.
"Luke, Jess is being mean" Lorelai whined.
"Luke's been sleeping for a while now" Jess informed her.
"He has?" Lorelai took of his cap to see if he would give her his patented 'Lorelai' but he didn't. "Wow, he is asleep"
"I always thought that thing was glued on" Paris said amazed.
"Once he leaves the house it is" Jess told her.
"Jess" Sam smacked him.
The movie ended and Paris decided she wanted to go back to Yale that night, so she left. Rory was gonna go the next afternoon. Jess and Samantha called it a night, Sam grabbed her bags and they left to their room. Rory stayed with Lorelai on the couch, they were talking while Luke was still sleeping. He was sitting on the floor in front of Lorelai with his back to the couch and his head on a cushion.
"Did you buy something good?" Lorelai asked getting more comfortable.
"Mom, Luke" Rory pointed to Luke who looked to be very uncomfortable.
"He's fine" Lorelai waved it off. "Did you get your Mommy something?" Lorelai asked looking at Rory's bags.
"What makes you think I got you something?"
"Because Christmas is close and you always buy the presents in advance. So what did you get me?"
"If I got you something for Christmas, then why do you want to now what it is?"
"So you did get me something!" Lorelai smiled and tried to get a glance inside the bags.
"Wouldn't you like to know" Rory smirked. "Did you have fun today? And no dirty stuff"
"Yeah thanks" Lorelai said smiling remembering what they had done.
"Good. Well I'm gonna go sleep because I woke up early. Do you need help with him?" Rory pointed to Luke.
"No it's ok, I got it" Lorelai waved it off.
"Ok" Rory got up and grabbed her bags. "Night Mom" Rory kissed Lorelai's cheek before going upstairs to her room.
"Night Hon" Lorelai told Rory then turned to look at Luke, well the side of his head. "Luke?" she ran her hand through his hair. "Wake up"
"No" Luke said, voice thick with sleep.
"If you sleep here you'll be hurting tomorrow"
"MmmHmm" Luke sighed.
"Wake up so we can go to bed"
"Give me a sec" Luke mumbled.
"Jess and Sam went up stairs a while ago, and Rory was being mean and didn't tell me what she bought me"
"MmmHmm good"
"If you don't get up I'll keep talking" Lorelai threatened.
"I'm up, I'm up" Luke's eyes opened. "Why am I on the floor?"
"You fell asleep during the movie" Lorelai kept playing with his hair.
"Weird movie. If you keep doing that I'll fall asleep again" Luke's eyes closed again.
"No, no, no, don't fall asleep" Lorelai stopped the playing and began poking him.
"Fine I'm awake, now stop that" Luke sat up and Lorelai didn't stop poking him. "Lorelai…" she giggled. Luke sighed and stood up.
"Finally, now help me up" she smiled at him.
"You're annoying" Luke told her but help her.
"Yeah I know" she kissed him quick.
"I'm gonna go check the door and the kitchen, you go upstairs I'll be right up" Luke kissed her again before they left in opposite directions.
A LiTtLe LaTeR
Luke walked into the room and Lorelai was half lying on the bed watching TV waiting for him. He smiled at her and walked over to the bathroom to get ready for bed. Luke walked out of the bathroom a couple minutes later, he walked to the foot of the bed and crawled up and came to rest near Lorelai's stomach where he dropped a few kisses. Lorelai turned off the TV.
"Don't you dare wake them" Lorelai threatened, Luke smirked up at her. He lifted the shirt she was wearing and kissed her stomach again, Lorelai giggled. "Luke…" he blew a raspberry and Lorelai laughed. "Mean" she smacked him on the head. Luke kissed her two more times before fixing her shirt and moving the rest of the way up the bed. "Hi"
"You smacked me"
"Yeah, well… I wasn't just gonna let you wake the twins up, now was I?" Lorelai smiled then kissed him.
"I was not going to wake them"
"Yes you were. But don't worry because I stopped you just in time"
"And gave me head trauma" he rubbed the side of his head.
"Cry baby" Lorelai mumbled.
"Tsk" Luke's hand was on her tummy.
"Stop it" he kept pressing down on her soft belly button. Luke smirked. "Good thing I won't have that belly button for long"
"I know, that's why I'm playing with it now"
"Dirty" Lorelai giggled. Luke pressed her belly button again. "Hey!"
"Yes?" Luke said innocently. He smirked at her and then lifted her shirt again. Luke looked down at her tummy and pressed down on her belly button he removed his finger quickly and chuckled at how the belly button bounced back out. Lorelai laughed and Luke did it again. "That is very entertaining" Luke told her and did it again.
"Good to know I amuse you" Lorelai said with a sleepy voice.
"You do more than just amuse me" Luke told her and gave her a kiss.
"Mmm good to know" she kissed him again. Luke ran his hand over her whole tummy before pulling her shirt back down and kissing her goodnight. "If they start kicking in the middle of the night, you better bet your ass that I'll wake you up" Lorelai told him as they settled on the bed.
"MmmHmm" Luke began to snooze.
"Luke?" Lorelai said with a sleepy voice.
"Wha…?"
"I love you" Lorelai told him, Luke kissed her cheek.
"Love you too" Luke mumbled before they both fell asleep.
The next day Luke and Jess went over to the old house and picked up the boxes of Christmas decorations. Samantha was helping Rory pack her stuff, and hide Lorelai's presents. Lorelai was in her room watching TV, or at least trying because she was thinking on how she was going to decorate the house. She was also thinking of how different this Christmas was going to be. First off she was pregnant, with twins. Secondly, she was living in a new house which was also Luke's old house. Third off she felt like she was on a TV show because she was living in a Full House, there was her, Luke, Rory, Jess, Sam, and soon enough there would be three babies if only uncle Jesse was also here Lorelai thought.
"Mom!" Rory called from her room.
"Yeah?" aw, Rory cut my John Stamos dream short.
"You can come in now, we're done" Rory didn't let Lorelai see what they were doing even though she had a pretty good idea what it was.
"That was mean" Lorelai entered Rory's room pouting.
"That was necessary" Rory told her.
"No it wasn't" Lorelai whined.
"How long till Dad gets home?" Rory changed the subject.
"Soon, they were only picking up the boxes" Lorelai took a seat on Rory's bed.
"And were the boxes marked?" Rory asked and Lorelai had a blank expression.
"If you or Luke packed them then yes, if not… well you get the idea" Lorelai smiled.
"I think I better go say 'bye' to them over there" Rory picked up her stuff.
"No you should stay and wait for them here"
"Mom, if I do that, then you'll make me stay for dinner and I'll leave really late for school and the last time I did that Luke had a hissy-fit about how dangerous that was"
"Yeah, that was one of his more elaborated hissy-fits. Wait for then a few more minutes, pleeeaaase" Lorelai gave her the puppy eyes.
"Fine"
Luke and Jess got home twenty minutes later with all the boxes Lorelai said were at the old house, plus a big Christmas tree tied on the roof of the Pathfinder. Rory said her goodbyes and left before Lorelai began her dinner rant and convinced her of staying.
"Don't lift those boxes" Luke told Lorelai as he and Jess brought them inside.
"Can I drag them?"
"Don't move them" Luke gave her a stern look before walking back outside. Lorelai pouted and kept on pouting until Luke returned holding one end of the tree. "Stop it" Luke said walking past her and to the living room.
"Stop it" Jess told her as he past her while carrying the other end of the tree.
"You're both mean!" Lorelai kept on pouted and moved her pout to the living room. "The tree is gorgeous Luke, thanks" Lorelai's humor changed and she smiled.
"Yeah" Luke said as he and Jess set the tree on its stand.
"When are we decorating it?" Lorelai asked as she took a seat on the couch and watched them both at work.
"I thought you might want to wait for Rory" Luke said.
"Well at first I did, but then she told me to decorate without her just incase I suddenly go into labor and don't have time later" Lorelai explained.
"Well, that's positive" Luke said sarcastically.
"I know" Lorelai smiled ignoring his sarcastic remark. Luke turned to look at her.
"Luke!" Jess yelled as Luke had let go of the tree and now the tree was going down.
"Luke!" Lorelai screeched but because the tree was falling on Luke's side.
"Aw shi…" the tree fell on Luke and pushed him to the floor with a thud. The sound made Lorelai giggle.
"Are you ok?" Lorelai asked trying to hide her giggles.
"Yeah" Luke mumbled. "Jess! Help me up will you?" Jess walked over and pushed the tree to the side. "Stop laughing" Luke growled at Jess and remained lying on the floor. "You too" he told Lorelai.
"What happened?" Samantha walked into the living room.
"The tree attacked Luke" Lorelai told her then began laughing.
"Keep laughing and I'll take everything back" Luke said and got up from the floor.
"You wouldn't" Lorelai told him.
"Try me" Luke gave her a serious look and Lorelai stopped laughing.
"Wow, I think that's the first time you're able to shut her up without the involvement of PDA's" Jess sounded amazed and then grossed out.
"Shut up and help me with the tree" Luke told Jess.
"Hey, Sam?" Lorelai turned towards Samantha who had taken a seat next to her waiting for the tree to attack again.
"Yeah?"
"Are you busy later today?"
"No, why?"
"I was thinking… maybe you can drive me somewhere?" Lorelai asked shyly.
"Sure, where?" Sam asked and Luke's ear perked up.
"I want to buy some fabric" Lorelai said.
"Fabric?"
"Yeah, I have something in mind, it's been bugging me and I know it won't go away until I do it, or at least try" Lorelai explained.
"Sure just tell me when" Sam smiled.
"Damn it, Luke, focus!" Jess was getting annoyed because the tree kept moving from side to side.
"Wha…?" Luke paid attention and saw the wobbling tree. "Oh! Sorry" Luke paid more attention.
Later that day Lorelai and Sam went fabric shopping. Lorelai bought two yards of red fleece, one yard of white fleece and some of those clothes markers, green. When Samantha asked what she was planning on doing Lorelai just smiled and wiggled her eyebrows. They got back home a little short of an hour after they left, which surprised Luke.
"That was fast" he took the bags from Lorelai.
"I knew what I wanted, plus I was not in the mood to be standing up all day" Lorelai sighed and walked over to the kitchen, Luke followed her placing the bag on the dinning room table. Sam went upstairs to her room, where Jess was doing some homework. "Do we have juice?" Lorelai opened the fridge.
"Yeah. Here" he handed Lorelai a glass. "Whatcha buy" Luke pointed to the bag sitting on top of the table.
"Just some fabric and stuff" Lorelai shrugged it off.
"Do I want to know what you're planning?" Luke grabbed her glass and took a sip.
"Even if you did, I'm not telling" Lorelai smiled and took the glass back.
"Ok, see, now I want to know" Luke put the juice back in the fridge.
"To bad" Lorelai smirked and walked out of the kitchen. "Can you bring the bag upstairs please?" she smiled sweetly at him.
"Are you gonna tell me?" Luke asked walking closer to the bag.
"Are you gonna bring it? That sounded bad" Lorelai told herself and giggled, Luke chuckled and grabbed the bag.
"Most of the things you say sound bad" Luke told her turning the lights off.
"Shut up" Lorelai sacked him and they both went upstairs.
The next day Lorelai was alone. Luke was at the diner, Sam and Jess were at school. Lorelai grabbed the bag she bought last night and emptied its contents on her bed. She thought of how she was gonna do it, then grabbed a pair of scissors measured all the fabrics and began cutting. An hour or so later she had everything cut and separated; she grabbed the left over and scrap material and placed it back into the bag. She was so involved in what she was doing that when the phone rang she jumped a little.
"Don't do that!" was how Lorelai answered the phone, as she tried to calm herself.
"Fine, I'll never call my mother ever again" Rory said faking hurt.
"Sorry but you scared the crap out of me. Which is better than scaring the twins' out of me, although that can be a very good saying" Lorelai trailed of thinking about it.
"Mom, Mom? Mom!" Rory wasn't very found of being ignored.
"Oh, sorry. Why you call?" Lorelai went back to the fleece mess on her bed.
"Can't a kid say hi?"
"What did you do?" Lorelai stopped what she was doing.
"Nothing"
"Ok then, what do you want?"
"I can't go there this weekend" Rory said then shrugged as if Lorelai could actually hurt her through the phone.
"What? Why?" Lorelai whined.
"I need to study for my finals and if I go home I won't be able to do that"
"But what if I go into labor?"
"Then Dad'll call me" Rory stated. "Besides, you're not due until the 27th"
"But the doctor said it could be at any moment. I'm like a ticking bomb"
"A bomb? Don't you think that's a little over reacting?"
"No, cause bombs explode and by the way these two are growing they're gonna explode out of my…
"Don't finish that" Rory interrupted her.
"Why not? I was just getting to the graphic part" Lorelai whined.
"That's why" Rory pointed out. "So… I'll be home next weekend and then I'll be there for a while because I'll be on my winter break"
"Promise?"
"Promise"
"No Julian to distract you?"
"Unfortunately no, he's flying over with his family to Texas" Rory said a little sad.
"Texas?"
"Yep"
"Wow, he doesn't look very Texas-y"
"I know, but he's family is"
"Gilmore! Can you stop yakking; I'm trying to study here!" Paris yelled at Rory.
"I gotta go" Rory told Lorelai.
"Ok, love you and don't study too hard"
"I expect the house fully decorated, and for Dad to call me if you go into labor" Rory said sternly.
"Yes, Mom" Lorelai teased and with that Rory hung up. Lorelai sighed and placed the phone down. She grabbed the white fleece and the green clothes marker and she began writing. After everything was written down all that was left to do was sew everything together but after glancing at the clock she noticed she didn't have enough time so she put everything away and walked downstairs. Lorelai grabbed her coat, her keys and walked outside. She slowly walked over to the diner.
ThE DiNeR
Luke was going around the counter ignoring all the 'ambulance' 'thanksgiving' 'hospital' questions Miss Patty, Babette, or whoever asked. He was just about to throw the Taylor out in the middle of his 'ambulances are way to loud to have running around town without a real purpose on Thanksgiving Day' rant, when he spotted Lorelai walking down the street.
"Shut up, Taylor" Luke said and walked out to where Lorelai was, so they could walk inside together.
"Hey handsome" Lorelai smiled at him.
"You walked here?" Luke asked after giving her a quick kiss.
"Yep" Lorelai declared with a proud nod. "Felt like getting the blood pumping" Luke placed an arm around her with his hand resting on her back.
"Did you just wake up wishing death on your feet?" Luke asked knowing Lorelai's feet will hurt later today because of her little walk.
"No, I just got bored of being locked up at the house"
"You're not locked up"
"I know and that's why I'm here" she smiled up at him. "Feel like feeding your family?"
"Do I have a choice?" Lorelai smacked him.
"Keep it up and I'll make you eat with us" Lorelai threatened.
"I'll eat with you" Luke told her seriously. "I need a break anyhow" Lorelai smiled.
"Lorelai, dear, you're still pregnant?" Miss Patty said walking up to them.
"Apparently" was all Lorelai said.
"Wow" that's was the first time Miss Patty said just that, well to someone who she wasn't dating.
"Leave Patty" Luke told her.
"We're on the side walk, Luke. You can't tell me to leave" Miss Patty informed him smugly but she kept her eyes on Lorelai's stomach.
"Is she picturing them naked?" Lorelai whispered to Luke.
"Gross!" Luke winced, and pushed at Lorelai's back a little harder.
"Luke!" Lorelai shrieked surprised.
"What's the hurry?" Miss Patty asked following them.
"Oh I just want to get to the diner" was all Luke said. Once inside he helped Lorelai to a chair and then turned to Patty. "Leave" he told her before turning back to a smiling Lorelai.
"Chili fries and a side of peaches" Lorelai told him, Luke gave her a weird look but went to the kitchen to fill her order.
"That's some pallet you have there" Miss Patty took a seat on Lorelai's table.
"What can I say? One twin takes after me and the other one after his Daddy" Lorelai was being polite
"I wouldn't complain if the both looked like their Daddy"
"Patty! They're not even born yet!" Lorelai shrieked playfully but she was still smiling.
"So? There's no rule for that" Miss Patty said and when she saw Luke walking back over to the table she got up and left. "Hope you pop soon"
"Patty!" Luke yelled after her because he heard what she said last. Lorelai waved it off.
"Did you know she's hoping the boy's look like you" Lorelai told him when he sat down next to her.
"What?" Luke chuckled. "Why?"
"You don't want to know" Lorelai told him giggling, which painted a pretty clear picture to Luke.
"Aw gees!" Luke closed his eyes in disgust.
"Here" Caesar brought Lorelai's food over.
"Thanks" Lorelai smiled and happily dug in.
ThE NexT DaY
Again as soon as the house was quiet Lorelai grabbed the bag with the fabric and got to work, she was determined to finish it today because if she kept on slowly working on it she'd never finish in time. And she did, pinching herself about fifty times in the process. Lorelai smiled at he finished project lying on top of her bed, she smiled proudly. It didn't look as if Lorelai made it; it was more like professional work which was good because she was planning on reusing it. Lorelai looked at the time and saw that she still had a long way to go before anybody showed up at the house, so she collected her work and walked downstairs.
Lorelai walked into the living room and dropped what she was holding on the couch, she went over to the fireplace and made sure Luke had started what she had asked. Fortunately not only had he started but he had actually finished. She smiled at Luke's eagerness to please these her last few months, years actually. Lorelai ran both palms from the top of her belly all the way to where her hands could reach, smoothing her shirt on the way. She sighed and walked over to the couch.
A LiTtLe LaTeR
Lorelai took a step back to admire her work, she smiled and placed her hands on her tummy to try and calm the restless boys. It wasn't working very well, and she was getting hungry. She looked at the clock and saw Luke was bound to walk through the door any second now with Jess and Sam closely at tow. Just in time Lorelai thought when she heard the Pathfinder come to a stop on the driveway. Lorelai walked as fast as she could to the door way to greet him.
"What did you do?" was Luke's first reaction when he saw her standing anxiously by the front door.
"Nothing bad"
"Aha, what did you do?" he closed the door behind him and took off his snowed jacket.
"I bet you you'll like it" Luke narrowed his eyes at her before giving her a sweet short kiss.
"What did you do?" he repeated, again. Lorelai smiled and grabbed his hand.
"Close your eyes" she said happily.
"No"
"Please" she pouted.
"Lorelai…"
"C'mon, I just want to surprise you" she said with the baby eyes. Luke gave her a glare but then he closed his eyes.
"Just don't slam me against a wall or something" Luke warned as Lorelai tugged at his hand lightly.
"I won't. At least not on propose" Lorelai added after a while.
"Lorelai!"
"Relax, I was joking. There…" she stopped pulling him; he was standing right in front of the fireplace. "Open your eyes"
"What crazy…" Luke trailed off looking at what was before him. "Did you…?" he pointed at the eight stockings hanging at the fireplace.
"You like?" Lorelai asked biting the nail of her right thumb.
"Did you make them?" Luke took a step closer to analyze them.
"I had some trouble with the order, I didn't know how…" she was interrupted by Luke's lips.
"You put names on them" he pointed out. "With Christmas-y writing and drawings" he sounded amazed. "Plus you sewed them?" Lorelai nodded.
"I was bored, and I thought it might be nice" she shrugged. Luke kissed her again and turned to look at what she had done. The first stoking was a very big one with 'Luke' written on it in big bold letters with 'Daddy' under it in cursive, after his followed one that was barely half an inch shorter in big bold letters it said 'Lorelai' and in smaller it said 'Mommy', then followed three normal sized stockings 'Rory', 'Jess', 'Sammy', then there were two small stockings 'Sean' and 'Ricky', the last one was the smallest one and it said 'baby Mariano' since they didn't know if it was a boy or girl.
"It's perfect" he whispered before kissing her again. They were interrupted by the sound of Luke's truck coming to a stop on the drive way, Jess used that truck for school. A few seconds later Jess and Sam walked though the door, Lorelai called for them to go into the living room. Sam had tears on her eyes, hormones, because Lorelai had included her. A crying Sam quickly turned into a crying Lorelai, aw the wonders of living with two pregnant girls. Luke and Jess just rolled their eyes at their 'girliness'.
A FeW DaYs LaTeR
"It's not fair" Lorelai whined to Sookie who had stopped by for some quality girl time.
"Doctors orders" was all Sookie said.
"So? It's still not fair" Lorelai pouted.
"Unless you want the twins to be born today, you'll have to follow her orders" Lorelai sighed.
"I know, I know" Lorelai groaned in frustration.
"That is so cute" Sookie pointed over at the fireplace, Lorelai smiled.
"Thanks, and subtle change of subject by the way"
"I try" Sookie shrugged.
"It's ok I'm just… I think I'm already sexually frustrated" Lorelai said and Sookie giggled.
"No wonder you two are having twins" Sookie kept giggling.
"Shut up" Lorelai hit Sookie with a cushion.
"So how come this place isn't looking like Santa's Shop yet?" Sookie asked looking around at the hardly decorated room.
"Luke hid everything he thought I could hurt myself with. He said he's gonna help me decorate on Friday" Lorelai said with a smile.
"He's decorating?" Sookie asked shocked.
"Yep, Jess and Sam are gonna handle the Diner so he can help ad we can be alone. That is if the twins don't decide to come early" Lorelai said placing a hand on her very round stomach.
"Oh yeah! I hope they don't, Christmas isn't Christmas if your house isn't ridiculously decorated"
"Gee thanks" Lorelai smiled. "Did you know that if I'm flat on my back I can spin a plate on my stomach?"
"What?" Sookie asked laughing.
FriDaY AfTeRnOoN
They fireplace was lit and only a few selected lights were on, which gave the house a warm glow. Lorelai was putting up the Christmas spheres on the tree while Luke was putting up Christmas light outside, after he was going to put up the ones on the tree. Lorelai had the stereo softly on the Christmas station, where they played Christmas songs all through December.
Lorelai was humming along with the stereo and didn't hear Luke walk in, take of his snowed coat, and look at her for a few seconds. Luke began walking up behind her once the song ended, Lorelai still oblivious. Luke wrapped his arms around her from behind, and slid them under her over grown stomach carrying most of its weight.
"Mmm hi" Lorelai leaned back against him.
"Hi" Luke whispered close to her ear, 'Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire' began playing and Lorelai began swaying. "It's starting to look very holiday-y here" Luke whispered kissing her neck.
"Good, that was the main idea" Lorelai mumbled, they were dancing to the soft music.
"It's been way too long since the house last looked like this" Luke sounded a little sad.
"Your Dad?"
"My Mom" Luke said referring to the last person to decorate the place. Lorelai reached behind her and softly caressed his cheek. "It's beautiful here"
"MmmHmm. Are you done out there?" Lorelai kept rubbing his cheek, it had been frozen.
"Yeah. They're up and turned on"
"Dirty" Lorelai whispered playfully, Luke chuckled. He felt pressure on his forearms and his smile grew, so did Lorelai's. "A couple more weeks and they'll be bugging us out here"
"Yeah" Luke said in a dreamy voice, he sat on the coffee table and turned Lorelai around. She was standing in front of him, her belly right near his face which he took advantage of and kissed her round belly. Luke began tracing patterns on her stomach with his fingers while kissing it softly. Lorelai took off his cap and played with his hair.
"I'm gonna miss you doing that" Lorelai whispered. 'Oh Holy Night' started playing. "I'm not gonna miss that" Lorelai giggled as Luke began pressing down on her belly button.
"I am" Luke smiled up at her, he then stood up and hugged her as best he could.
"I liked it better from behind" Lorelai said then winced when she knew what was coming.
"Dirty" Luke teased.
"That was an easy one" Lorelai smiled, Luke gave her a kiss before moving to hug her from behind again.
"Better?"
