a/n: Does it really suck this bad? I mean, I haven't got very many reviews…Please, tell me what I could do to make it better…Luvs!

Christmas!

--Lorelai and Luke woke up early on Christmas morning due to Keith's inpatient attempts to open presents.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Keith whined, "Presents!"

"Keith! It's 5 in the morning!" Lorelai grumbled.

"Mommy!" Keith whined again.

"I blame you for him up this early," Lorelai pushed up on her elbows.

"I blame you for his never ending whining," Luke smirked at her.

"Not cool!" Lorelai smiled back.

"Presents?" Keith questioned this time.

"Ok, Ok. We're gettin' up!" Luke said grabbing Keith and throwing him up in the air.

--Lorelai laughed as she watching Luke and Keith together. He's such a great dad. I love him!

"Hey, be careful, Daddy!" Lorelai walked up and put her arms around Luke.

--Luke looked down and kissed his wife on the head.

"Merry Christmas, honey!" Luke said tenderly.

"Hmm...Merry Christmas!" Lorelai turned her attention to Keith, "Why do you go wake up Rory and Lori. I need to talk to Daddy."

--Luke let Keith down; Keith ran, best he could, down the hall.

"What is it?" Luke asked quietly after Keith left.

"There's something you should know about our baby," Lorelai started.

"What?" Luke panicked.

"No, calm down. It's just that it's our babies," Lorelai emphasized the 'ies' on babies.

"Oh, I got kind of scared there," Luke calmed down, "This is GREAT!"

"I went to the doctor the day after I told you. Just to make sure the test was right. And he told me it was twins!" Lorelai beamed.

--Luke kissed Lorelai tenderly; the kiss quickly deepened.

"Lori!" Keith jumped on her bed.

"Oh, my God! Keith it's 5 AM!" Lori turned towards him.

"Presents," Keith pouted.

"Maybe later. Why don't you go bother Rory," Lori pointed lazily in the direction of Rory's room.

"Rory!" Keith couldn't quite make it on her bad by jumping…It took some more effort.

"What?" Rory grumbled.

"Presents!" Keith smiled.

"What? Why?" Rory was confused because it was way too early.

"Santa!" Keith put his hands on her face.

"Okay, I'm up!" Rory sat up and grabbed Keith playfully.

--Rory put him on her hip and began to walk out of the room.

"Lori?" Keith asked mischievously.

"Let's get her!" Rory laughed.

--Rory walked quickly to Lori's room.

"Maybe we shouldn't wake her," Rory turned to Keith.

--Keith gave her the stern look he had inherited from his father.

"Fine by me!" Rory shrugged.

--Rory hopped on her sister's bed and let Keith crawl closer to Lori.

"If you don't leave me alone…" Lori started but quickly drifted back to sleep.

"Come on, Lor! It's Santa!" Rory shook Lori a little.

"I got off the phone 3 hours ago! Leave me ALONE!" Lori almost yelled.

--By this time Luke and Lorelai made their way down the hall.

"What's going on in here?" Luke asked sternly.

"Daddy. Lori grumpy," Keith made a face that made his parents laugh.

"Lori, you better wake up! Mommy has important news to tell everyone," Lorelai sat close to Lori on the bed.

"If I promise to get up…Will you leave me alone?" Lori asked grumpily.

"I can't make that promise," Lorelai smiled.

--Lori finally felt herself begin to wake up.

"Keith, why don't you go play with Daddy. I need to talk to Mommy and Rory," Lori turned to Keith.

"Presents?" Keith asked in return.

"Sure, why not?" Lori laughed.

--Keith ran to his father; Luke picked him up and walked out of the room.

"I really like Ray," Lori got right to the point.

"That's great, Lor! He seems really nice," Rory smiled.

"Hmm. I'm feeling there's something more to that statement," Lorelai turned more towards Lori.

"Well, Averie asked me to come over after we do our Christmas. I was wondering if it was okay," Lori puckered her lips in a pout.

"Lori, we're sposed to go to your grandparents' house after this," Lorelai said sternly.

"But, Mom. We do this EVERY year!" Lori whined.

"Not on Christmas day," Lorelai argued.

"I know, but this year this is the ONLY time we could do it. Mom, please," Lori was now begging.

--Lorelai sighed.

"Oh, okay. Just be on time," Lorelai gave in.

"Thanks, Mom!" Lori smiled then hugged her mother.

--There was silence for a second.

"Presents?" Lori asked still beaming.

"Of course!" Lorelai jumped up.

"Score!" Lori and Rory laughed.

--The girls made their way down the stairs and found Luke trying to keep Keith from ripping open the gifts.

"Oh, let him open one!" Lorelai chimed.

--Keith ran for the tree again.

"For me?" Keith asked.

"No. That one's for Rory," Lori informed him.

"This one's for you," Luke handed him a box.

"YAY!" Keith grinned.

--Keith ripped the paper back to reveal a dancing Elmo.

"Elmo!"

"Wait! Before we open ANY MORE presents. I have BIG news!" Lorelai stood.

--Everyone turned towards her.

--Lorelai glanced at Luke; Luke nodded.

"We're gunna have TWINS!" Lorelai squealed.

"Aw! Yay!" Rory hugged Lorelai and Luke.

"Aren't you two a LITTLE old for that?" Lori cracked a smile.

"For what?" Lorelai asked innocently.

"To be getting pregnant," Lori gave her a duh expression.

--Luke shook his head and laughed slightly.

"I don't get it," Lorelai acted confused.

"Mom, we ALL know what it takes to make a baby," Rory smirked.

"Personally, I don't wanna talk about it," Lori covered her ears.

"You don't like the stork," Lorelai giggled, "And Keith doesn't know yet."

"He'll learn soon enough. Innocence isn't a big thing in this world any more," Lori informed her mother.

"Well, aren't you the one to talk, Ms. Innocent," Lorelai said with a grin.

"Can't say I'm innocent, but not as guilty as most," Lori paused, "Could we not talk about this anymore."

"Yeah, I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable," Luke sighed.

--Luke handed Rory and Lori identical boxes.

--The girls began opening the packages.

"Sweet!" Lori beamed.

"This is great!" Rory grinned.

--Rory had received a Pink Razor phone and Lori had received the black.

"Everything's already been set up. All you have to do is switch SIM cards," Luke told them.

"Thank you!" Both girls said.

"This is for both of you," Rory grabbed a very long, thin box from under the tree.

"From all of us," Lori grabbed Keith and put him on her lap.

--Lorelai began unwrapping the gift. After pulling most of the paper off; she revealed a 20"x24" frame with a collage of pictures. Most of them of their family, but there were a few of Sookie, Jackson, Jess and others.

"Thanks! How'd you get this?" Lorelai asked.

"Actually we made it," Rory told her.

"We bought the frame, then we tore the pictures to give it that frayed look," Lori finished.

"I'll be right back," Luke said and took the frame.

--The rest of the family heard Luke has he hung a nail in the hall way to hang the collage.

--They finished opening their gifts, and sat and talked for a few hours. Then the phone rang.

"Merry Christmas from the Danes'!" Lorelai answered cheerfully.

"Lorelai, may I speak to Luke, please?" Jess came from the other line.

"Yeah, I guess," Lorelai said lamely.

--She handed the phone to her husband.

"Who is it?" Rory asked after Luke left the room.

"I couldn't tell," Lorelai fibbed.

--But when Lori turned her head to Keith, Lorelai mouthed "Jess" to Rory.

"Is it okay if I come by to drop off some things?" Jess asked Luke.

"Yeah, sure. Are you gunna talk to Lor?" Luke questioned.

"I'll try. I have a card for her. But really I don't know what I'm going to say," Jess confessed.

"I'm sure you'll think of something," Luke tried to be encouraging.

"I'll be there in a few," Jess said.

"Alright. We'll be here," Luke hung up.

--Luke came back in the room.

"It works!" Lori exclaimed when her new phone rang, "Yellow?"

"Hey, hun! You gunna come over?" Averie came from the other end.

"Oh, of course!" Lori chimed, "I'll have to get dressed, but it won't be too long."

"See ya!" Averie hung up.

--Lori closed her phone and headed up the stairs to change.

--She came back down stairs in a black shirt that said rebel across it, low rise jeans (showing a bit of her stomach) and red Converse. She kissed Lorelai and Luke on the cheek. She practically ran to the door after grabbing her coat, but was very startled when she opened it.

"Hey," Jess gave a small smirk.

"Hi," Lori leaned against the door frame.

"Merry Christmas," Jess tried.

"Easy for you to say," Lori felt herself becoming angry.

"Look, Lor, I need to talk to you," Jess tried to touch her hand.

--Lori jerked back.

"I have to go," Lori said sternly then walked right passed him.

a/n: I hope this can make it better…Please tell me!

Coming up: Lori gets to know more about Ray AND Jess…Christmas with Emily and Richard.
