I would just like to give a special thanks to my reviewers! You guys are AWESOME!

"Another eventful evening at the Gilmore's." Lorelai said as they walked into the house.

"I'm gonna go to bed." Rory said.

"Gonna call Dean?" Lorelai said.

"No…."

"Tell him I said hi."

Rory smiled. "Ok. Goodnight Luke."

"Goodnight Rory."

Lorelai took Luke's hand and lead him over to the couch. She rested her head on his chest and slowly shut her eyes.

"She's still with that Dean kid?" Luke asked.

"Yeah." She said softly.

"That kid is trouble. She deserves better."

Lorelai lifted her head up and kissed him softly.

He smiled. "Ok. I'll shut up."

"Thank you."

"So, I'd better go."

"Well…" She started. "You could stay here. If you wanted to."

"With Rory here?"

"I don't like sleeping alone."

He smiled. "Ok. I'll stay here."

"Yay!" Lorelai said as she clapped her hands. "You can have the bathroom first. And feel free to sleep naked."

"Lorelai…"

"I'm just saying you've got the option."

As soon as he was upstairs Lorelai rushed to Rory's room and opened the door.

"Thanks for the knock." Rory said sarcastically.

"Luke is sleeping here tonight."

"Ok…."

"Luke."

"Yeah."

"Is sleeping here tonight."

"So I heard."

"In my bed."

"Mom. You've done this before."

"Yeah, but not here."

"Well, he's going to be living here soon. And besides, you always say you sleep better with him."

Lorelai smiled. "I do."

"So…"

"What would I do without you?"

"I wonder that myself sometimes."

She gave Rory a huge hug and ran up the stairs. Rory giggled softly to herself. She loved seeing her mom this happy. This was going to work out after all.

The next morning Lorelai woke up in Luke's arms and a smile spread across her face. She ran her hand softly along his tight chest and played with his chest hair. She thought this would wake him up, but it didn't. She sighed and began to think about them, their relationship, their engagement, and their future. She remembered when they babysat Davey. She laughed softly at him trying to make Davey stop crying. That was the moment she knew. The moment that she finally figured it out. Luke was the one. The one she had always wanted and needed.

She began softly kissing chest and his neck. He began to stir and he slowly opened his eyes. He smiled at what he saw. Lorelai Gilmore. His future wife. He couldn't think of a time he was happier than he was right now.

"Hey." He said softly.

"Hi." She said. "I'm glad you stayed."

"Me too."

"I wish we could just lie here all day. Like Jack Johnson."

"Who?"

"Jack Johnson. He has a song called Banana Pancakes. It's about lying in bed all day and he makes banana pancakes for his girlfriend. They spend the whole day together in bed, eating banana pancakes."

"Sounds nice."

"Yeah."

"Well I really should check on the diner."

"Yeah, I should go to the inn."

"Ok, I'll see ya later." He kissed her softly and got dressed. "We should do this again."

She smiled. "Are you free tonight?"

"I think so."

"See ya there."

After Luke left she lied in her bed for a little longer. She was so comfortable she didn't want to get up. She rolled over to where Luke has slept. She smiled, as she smelled the pillow. It smelled like him.

She groaned as she pulled herself out of bed and into the bathroom to take a shower. When she was walking back to her room to get dressed she smelled an unfamiliar aroma coming from downstairs. It smelled like someone was cooking. She quickly threw on some sweats and walked down the stairs.

"What are ya makin'?" She asked.

"Pancakes." He said as he poured some batter onto the griddle.

"Oooo!" She said happily. "What kind?"

"Banana."

"What?" Lorelai said softly.

"I'm making banana pancakes."

"Just like the song."

"Yeah, well I thought after last night you could use a day off."

"Luke…"

"I called the inn and said you would be in later if you could."

"I can't believe you did this." She said. "Luke, this is so sweet."

She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him and he did the same. They just stared into each other's eyes for a little until Lorelai's lips crashed onto his. She kissed him deeply and passionately. She slowly opened her mouth and invited his tongue to join hers. When they finally broke apart Lorelai spoke.

"I love you, Luke."

"I love you, Lorelai."

"So, let's eat!"

"Ok. Here we go." He said as he placed two plates on the table.

"Wait."

"What?"

She bit her bottom lip. "Nevermind."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." She took a bite of the pancakes and tried her best not to make a disgusted face.

Luke laughed softly. "It's ok if you don't like them."

"No, I do."

"Lorelai, if we're gonna get married you gotta learn to tell me the truth."

"I don't like bananas."

"How can you taste them with all that syrup you put on them?"

"I'm so sorry, Luke."

"It's ok." He got up and grabbed a bowl out of the refrigerator.

"What's that?"

"Chocolate chip batter."

"Really?"

He nodded.

"You knew I wouldn't like them."

"Well, it was worth a shot. But I thought I'd have back up just in case."

"I don't deserve you." She said as she got up and kissed him again.

"I don't deserve you."

"Do I smell pancakes?" Rory asked sleepily as she walked out of her room.

"Yes you do sweetie." Lorelai said. "Chocolate chip."

"Really? Awesome!" Rory said as she sat down at the table. "I could get used to this."

"Me too." Lorelai said as she kissed Luke again.

-----

"I can't believe there is nothing on TV!" Lorelai shouted in frustration.

"Mmmhmmm." Luke mumbled.

"Are you sleeping?"

"No."

"It's only nine."

"I'm not sleeping."

"So, why are your eyes closed?"

"I'm resting my eyes."

"Otherwise known as sleeping."

"You're so much work. You know that?" Luke said as he sat up and opened his eyes.

Lorelai smiled. "Yes, but I'm worth it."

"Yes you are." He leaned in, placed his hands on her cheeks and kissed her softly.

"Mmmm." She said. "That was nice."

She crawled on top of him and wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed him once, then twice, until they found their rhythm. Their bodies moved together as one. She lifted her head to allow him to kiss her neck and she let out a soft moan of satisfaction. She began unbuttoning his shirt when they heard a knock at the door. They ignored it at first but the knocking continued.

"Who the hell could that be?" Lorelai said breathlessly.

"I dunno." Luke said as he continued to kiss her.

"Ok ok. I'm coming. Geeze." She said angrily as she walked over towards the door. "This better be good because I'm…" She started.

When she saw who was at the door she shut her eyes in anger and disappointment.

"Hey Lor."

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Well, I haven't seen you in awhile and I thought…."

"Chris."

He sighed heavily. "I heard about your engagement."

"Ok…"

"And I came here to talk you out of it."

"What?"

"Lor, come on. What are you doing? Marrying some guy you hardly know. You know we were meant for each other."

"I can't believe I am hearing this right now." She said as she rubbed her forehead. "My mother sent you didn't she?"

"No. I came because I wanted to stop you from making a huge mistake."

"Oh Chris…"

"You never gave us another chance."

"Uh, yes I did."

"Lor…"

Luke walked into the foyer and wrapped his arms around Lorelai. She smiled at his gesture. She always felt safe in his arms.

"I guess this is the guy." Chris said.

"Yes. This is Luke. Luke is this Christopher Hayden."

"Nice to meet you." Luke said.

Chris nodded. "Lor, do you think we could talk somewhere else?"

"No. You said what you came to say. So, go."

"I'm not done. I know if you just think about this you will realize the terrible mistake you are making."

"Excuse my rudeness Christopher, but I think it's inappropriate for you to barge in here and tell my fiancé that marrying me is a mistake." Luke said rather firmly.

"Excuse me Luke, but Lorelai and I go way back. We had a child together. What have you done?"

"Well, I'm always here for her and Rory. Always. That's more than you can say."

"Lor, please…"

"Go Chris."

"Excuse me, I don't think I was talking to you, Luke."

"She doesn't want you here."

"You can't speak for her."

"Yes I can because I know how she feels. I can just tell. Because that is what people in love can do."

Chris made a disgusted face and opened the door to leave. "Call me when you change your mind."

As soon as Chris left, Lorelai turned around and kissed Luke hard on the lips.

"Thanks." She whispered.

"Anytime." He whispered back. "Wanna go to bed?"

She smiled. "Yeah. I do."

So, I know its kinda stupid to bring in Chris. I always yelled at the writers when they brought him in just for conflict. But, the fact of the matter is, that he is PERFECT for conflict. There will be some more Chris conflict as well as Emily conflict next chapter. But, I promise more LL action next chapter too!
