A/N- Okay, so I swore I'd update. Here it is, folks, enjoy!! And thanks for all the reviews!

Disclaimer- If you recognize it, I don't own it, although chances are, I probably wish I do.

"We're not married."

"How-how could we not be? I was there, I saw it, we got married."

"The guy, in Paris, he was a fake."

"Noo."

"Yes."

"Oh, my god."

"Yes."

"Umm, well, I guess we're back to being engaged."

"What?! Lor, come on. Let's get married again."

"No Chris, you come on. This is fate, this is saying that it wasn't meant to be right now."

"What are you talking about!?"

"Let's just… talk about it when we get home, okay?"

"Fine."

Lorelai hung up, in shock. But she was almost… relieved. They weren't married. She smiled. They. Weren't. Married. It was like a giant weight had been lifted off of her chest. She ran back inside.

"Mom, why so excited?"

"Your dad and I, we aren't married."

Rory stared.

"And you're excited about this?"

"Rory, fate is fate. I think that we were never meant to be."

"Does this mean you're getting back together with Luke?"

"What!? Rory, I thought you'd be more upset about this, I mean, this is your dad and I."

"Mom, I never really believed that you were meant to be together. I liked things the way they were, and frankly, I'm relieved that you guys aren't together."

"I liked things the way they were too."

They smiled at each other. Luke walked over with their plates.

"Here you guys go, good luck with your heart attacks."

"Thanks Luke!"

"Thank you, Duke."

"Oh, jeez!"

As they watched him walk away, Rory looked at her mom. "Why didn't you tell him?"

"I don't want to rush anything."

"So you still like him?"

Rory's voice was hopeful.

"Babe, I don't know. Maybe?" Lorelai began picking at her food. "I just… I don't want to mess anything up."

"But are you and Dad… over?"

"I really and truly don't know."

Later Rory found herself at Lucy and Olivia's apartment. She didn't know why she'd gone over there, maybe because of the shock of her parent's non-marriage. But she wanted to make things right with Lucy, she really did. So she knocked on the door.

Olivia answered. "What do you want?"

"Can I please- can I please just talk to Lucy?"

Olivia went to say no, but she saw the desperation on Rory's face. "Fine."

"Thank you."

Rory walked into the familiar apartment. She looked over at Olivia. "She's in her room. Go in."

She felt uncomfortable just barging, so she knocked first. Lucy's voice came through. "Come in."

She opened the door and walked inside. Lucy looked at her. "Hey, can we talk?"

"Fine. Talk."

"Look, I am so sorry that you had to find out that I knew him like that. I never ever wanted to keep it a secret, I really never did. And when I saw him, I went to go say something, but you guys had left and he just pretended like he'd never even met me. I wanted to tell you so bad, but I was… I was so confused, and everything that was going on kept replaying in my head with Logan, and my mom, and my dad, and just everything, and before I knew it, I was in this big mess and I am so sorry for it."

Lucy just looked at her. Finally, she nodded. "I get it."

"Does that mean we're okay?"

"We're okay. I just wish you'd told me you knew ex-boyfriend."

"Ex-boyfriend?"

"Yeah, he um, he told me that he like someone else and broke up with me."

"Oh, Lucy, I'm sorry, really."

"It's okay, it's cool, I'm okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Okay."

All of a sudden, Rory started to feel overwhelmed. Everything that had been going on, all of the things were piling up on her.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine…"

"Are you sure, you don't look-"

Lucy was cut off by Olivia entering the room.

"Sooo," she said coldly. "How's it going in here?"

Lucy looked at her. "Me and Rory, we're okay."

Olivia smiled. "Good! I was getting bored without her!"

Lucy laughed. "Too be honest, I was too."

Rory smiled sort of absently. She was fighting back tears as it was, and she really didn't want them to see her cry again.

"Rory, are you sure you're okay?"

"My parents were never married."

Both looked at her in confusion.

"I guess I'd probably tell you my life story."

"Yeah, that might be good." Olivia was sarcastic.

"Do you guys wanna, uh, go to the couch?"

"Sure."

Once they were settled, Rory began to talk.

"My mom, Lorelai, had me when she was sixteen. Her parents, my grandparents, are rich. Filthy rich, and snobby too. They wanted to control her. They wanted to have her marry my father, Chris, and have Chris go into my grandpa's business. My mom, she refused. She didn't want to do marry him; she didn't want to have anything to do with my grandparents. So when I was one, my mom ran to Stars Hollow. She didn't have a job, or anything. She went to this inn, and begged the manager, Mia, for a job. She got a job as a maid, and she worked hard to move up. Mia, she gave us a home in the inn's old potting shed. That was my home until I was ten, then we moved to a real house. I was so disappointed, because I loved that shed." Rory smiled. "But I grew to love our new house too. Then my mom met Luke. He was her best friend for a long time, other than Sookie, the chef at the inn. But they… they loved each other. And a few of years ago, they got together. And then they got engaged. They were supposed to be married June third. But things happened, and Luke found out he had a daughter, and they just… ended. And my mom, she got together with my dad. It was a rebound, I think, they've been skating around each other for years now, but they were never meant to be. But they went to Paris, and they got married. Only they didn't really get married, I don't know the details. All I know is that the guy who married him, he was a fake. And I don't know what to think anymore, I was happy with Mom and Dad, and I was happy with Mom and Luke, and all of this stuff just keeps piling up, and it's confusing, and the stuff with you guys, and Logan, and it's just…"

She was really trying to fight back the tears now, she normally didn't cry that much, but with the combination of stress, PMS, and no sleep the tears just kept on coming, and before she knew it, she was full out sobbing. Olivia and Lucy both hugged her, and in that moment, she knew that she would eventually be okay.

Lorelai stared at the empty seat that Rory had left behind. Before, when Rory was sitting in front of her, it had seemed just like old times. It wasn't awkward, somehow. But now, it was just her. And things were getting more and more awkward by the second. Lane had left to be with her husband, and Rory had left to go back home, and it was just her, Luke, and Kirk. Kirk sat at a table, sipping his drink quietly, and so for all purposes, it was just her and Luke. The lunch crowd had no doubt, gone to tell everyone in the town that Lorelai was at Luke's and maybe they'd get back together and have the cutest little babies! God, thought Lorelai, I just hope word doesn't get out quickly that Chris and I were never married. Patty and Babette would just eat it up. But in this town, them not finding out was laughable.

Lorelai noticed that Kirk had gone, so she paid for the burger and went to go get her coat. But Luke, who was wiping down Kirk's table because he had spilled the last quarter of his drink, thrown a five down on the table and ran, noticed she was leaving. "Hey, who was on the phone? You looked pretty surprised when you came back in."

"Oh, it was- it was just Michel, yelling at me that I'd forgotten to do some paperwork. You know, that Michel, he's always surprising!" She laughed kind of awkwardly.

"Yeah, that Michel…" It was obvious to Luke that she wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't press it.

"I'd- better get going."

"Okay."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Lorelai walked out the door, the bell ringing on her head. She was walking, and kept walking. It seemed like all a dream, everything. She didn't know what to think anymore. She went over to the gazebo and sat down on the bench. Her and Luke… they'd kissed right here. They'd bought "chick beer" and toasted and… and kissed, right here. She wanted that. She didn't want Chris, she wanted Luke. The cold, hard truth. And she didn't care.

Lorelai smiled.

"I love Luke."
