Lorelai's cell phone rang loudly as she walked down the streets of Stars Hollow. She'd just gone to Luke's for a Danish and coffee, but she'd been dismayed to find that Cesar was running the diner. Apparently, Luke had some sort of business he had to attend to in Hartford. Lorelai had been a little hurt that Luke hadn't told her what this business was. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hi Auntie Lorelai," the little voice squealed on the other line. Lorelai smiled when she recognized the deep, but cute, voice of her favorite five-year-old. Christina had always had a thing about calling Lorelai from exciting locations. And to Christina, every new place she went was an exciting location.

"Hey squirt," Lorelai smiled into the phone. "What are you up to?"

"I'm on my first date, Auntie Lorelai!" Christina squealed.

"Aren't you a little young for first dates?" Lorelai teased her.

"My mommy said it was okay. And I look really pretty, Auntie Lorelai. My hair is curly today. And Mommy let me wear some glitter on my face!"

"Oh wow," Lorelai said, "Glitter. That's a sure way to bring all of the boys in." Christina giggled. "Who's the lucky boy?"

Christina giggled more. "It's Mr. Luke!"

"Mr. Luke?" Lorelai asked, surprised. "My Mr. Luke?"

"No offense, Auntie Lorelai, but I'm the one out on the date with him. So now he's my Mr. Luke."

Lorelai pouted. "But I really, really like him."

"Me too," Christina squealed. "We went and saw a movie! It had ponies in it. Lots and lots of ponies."

"Oh wow," Lorelai said. "Was it good?"

"Yes," Christina said, telling Lorelai all about the movie. "Mr. Luke wants to talk to you, Auntie Lorelai."

"Okay sweetie," Lorelai smiled and twirled her hair around her finger. "But promise me something, okay?"

"Okay."

"Don't kiss on the first date."

"Eww!" Christina squealed. "Kissing is groooooss." Lorelai heard Luke snicker in the background as the phone was handed to him.

"Hi there."

"You're cheating on me, eh?" Lorelai asked, a hint of suspicion in her voice.

"Get used to it," Luke replied.

"What?"

"When we get married, I plan on taking our girls out on dates. Get used to sharing."

"Oh. Alright, then," Lorelai said, dismissing his comment. She laughed nervously.

"Christina and I want to go to the park. Will you come meet us?" Luke asked, half-laughing at something Christina had done.

"Of course I will," Lorelai smiled, and hung up the phone.

Lorelai pumped her legs harder and harder on the swing, propelling her to fly higher into the air. She took a deep breath of the fresh fall air and smiled as she looked down on the people walking around. She watched the kids with balloons and cotton candy and sighed. She was happy. She was content. She was in love with life.

"Auntie Lorelai!" a little voice called up to her. Lorelai looked down and smiled, seeing the little girl with pigtails staring up at her waving. Luke was holding on to her other hand, and for the first time, Lorelai looked at them and could see a family. She could see Luke holding their daughter's hand, not Lydia's daughter's hand. And she could see them being happy ever after. She smiled and jumped off the swing, letting herself roll over the green grass toward her two favorite people in the world. She smiled as she landed at Christina and Luke's feet. Christina bent down and crawled on top of her, giving her a huge hug.

Lorelai laughed, "Hi." Christina grinned and kissed her face and scrunched her nose against Lorelai's. Lorelai smiled and lifted her up into the air. "You look so pretty," Lorelai said, smiling. "I love that outfit! Did you wear it on your date?"

"Yes," Christina said, looking down at her jean skort and sparkly jacket. "Mommy did my hair. Do you like it?" She patted her pigtails and posed for Lorelai, laughing. Lorelai smiled and reached her hand up for Luke so he could help her up. Luke squeezed her hand softly and helped her up.

"I'm going to go swing. I'll let you two girls talk for a while," Luke smiled and winked at Christina, who put her hands in the O-kay sign. Luke laughed, kissed Lorelai on the forehead, and went to the swings.

"What was that about?" Lorelai asked Christina, smiling.

"We're super secret best buddies," Christina said. "We even did the pinky swear!"

"The pinky swear? Oh man, that's serious!" Lorelai said.

Christina jumped on her foot lightly and looked over at Luke. He nodded slightly at her."Auntie Lorelai, I'm hot. Will you help me take off my sparkly jacket?" Lorelai nodded and Christina turned around, letting Lorelai take her jacket off. Lorelai folded it and stuck it in her purse. "All better?"

Christina turned around and nodded. Lorelai smiled at her and glanced down at her shirt and gasped. "Where did you get this?"

"Mr. Luke gave it to me," Christina said. "Will you read me what it says?" Lorelai took a deep breath.

"You know how to read, Christina," she said, softly. Christina nodded and smiled at Lorelai. "Okay, I'll read it to you."

Lorelai nodded. "I'd like that."

"It says… Luke loves Lorelai." Christina said, reading it slowly.

"Read it again," Lorelai said, still staring at the shirt.

"Luke loves Lorelai." Christina read again, as Lorelai's eyes went wide. She looked past Christina to see Luke on the swing, stopped and watching her reaction. She smiled slightly and whispered into Christina's ear.

"Don't tell, but I love him too." Christina smiled.

"Close your eyes and stick your hand out," She ordered. Lorelai laughed and did as she was told. Christina reached into her pocket, pulled out the contents and stuffed them into Lorelai's hand. She closed Lorelai's hand. "Keep your hand closed and walk with me." Lorelai nodded as Christina led her over to Luke. Luke smiled at Christina, took Lorelai's other hand, and nodded for Christina to go play in the sand.

"Open your eyes," Luke whispered. Lorelai opened them and stared into his, smiling.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"Open your hand."

Lorelai opened her hand, glancing down. She gasped when she saw the contents. A beautiful, white silver, diamond ring.

"Luke…"

"Marry me."

Lorelai looked down at the ring in her hand, and then back up at Luke.

"Lorelai, I love you. I, uh, I don't know how to say what I feel… But that works, right?" He bit his lip and looked up at her.

"Sure, that works," Lorelai said, putting her hand over his. "It works really well, actually. I think I could get used to it."

"Will you marry me, Lorelai?"

"I can do that," Lorelai said softly, squeezing his hand. "I want to do that."

"You do?"

"Yes, Luke. I love you. I want to marry you too."

Luke smiled and pulled her closer and kissed her softly. He took the ring out of her hand and slipped it on her finger. She grinned up at him as Christina ran over and wrapped her arms around Lorelai's legs.

"Does that mean I can call him Uncle Luke now?" She squealed, jumping up and down.

"Yes, it does." Lorelai smiled, picking her up and cradling her in her arms.

A/N: There! I hope you liked it, now that we've gotten to "the part." My aunt and uncle announced they were pregnant again this way, and I thought it would be a cute proposal idea, so I went with it. Just a few more chapters and then this story will be wrapped up :) the sooner you review the sooner I update
