----------------------

Lorelai awoke the next morning and was hit right away with a wave of nausea. Morning sickness was really taking a toll on her and Luke hated that all he could do was hold her hair back and rub her back.

"God I hate this," Lorelai complained sitting back and leaning against the tub. "Your children are being very temperamental."

"Oh, so they're my children now?" Luke asked with a smirk,

"Yes they are," Lorelai joked back, "when they wake me up at six am to throw up, they are your children."

"But when they are happy and content craving ice-cream then they are your kids?"

"By George, I think he's got it!" Lorelai said with a laugh and Luke leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. "So hey, where did you go last night?"

"What?" he asked innocently, knowing he'd been caught.

"You got up last night, you were gone for about an hour, and then you climbed back into bed and fell right asleep. Where did you go?" she asked again.

"Just to the kitchen, I was thinking."

"About what?"

"Huh?"

"What were you thinking about Luke?" Lorelai asked again.

"Nothing really," Luke said shrugging it off. He started to get up, but Lorelai reached out and held onto his hand.

"Come on, just tell me. If we are going to make this work we have to be open with each other. It can't be that bad, can it?" she asked, the last part barely passing her lips and Luke knew he couldn't get her to drop it.

"It wasn't bad, not really."

"Not really?" Lorelai asked and tears pooled in her eyes. "What is not really?"

"Oh, babe don't cry. It isn't bad, at all. This is not how I wanted to do this?" Luke mumbled and Lorelai mouth dropped open.

"Do what?"

"Lorelai, can we forget about this conversation for a few days?" Luke asked tentatively.

"No, you have to talk to me now. What is this all about Luke?" Lorelai's emotions were rolling now and Luke knew it was a direct result of the hormones.

Damn mood swings, Luke thought to himself with a groan. I have to do this now or she'll think I'm hiding another kid or something.

"Lorelai," Luke started, "I'll explain everything in just a minute, but I don't want to talk about it here, on the bathroom floor. Come back to bed first?"

"But…"

"Come to bed, you'll be more comfortable," Luke argued, helping Lorelai up onto her feet.

"Okay, but don't think we're done here," she said as she walked over to her side of the bed and climbed in. "What is with all the secrecy?"

"It's just, it's a surprise," Luke said as he dug through his drawer to retrieve the ring box. Pulling it out he quickly shoved it into his pocket before climbing in bed next to her.

"A surprise? Like a present?"

"Exactly," Luke said with an exaggerated sigh. "You know I love you right?"

"Yea, I love you too," Lorelai asked her head titled to the side in confusion.

"These last several months have been amazing," Luke started, his voice growing shaky. "And I couldn't imagine my life without you."

"Oh Luke," she said, her mood changing swiftly into the sappy mood. Luke just kept going.

"You are the one person I know who will stick by me through anything. We fight, we bicker, but that's to be expected, who doesn't, right? Your coffee and junk food addiction drives me crazy, but at the same time, it is part of what makes you, you. I wouldn't change much about these past eleven or so years, expect maybe most of the well, last year, but I want you to know that through everything, I couldn't possibly love anyone how I love you."

Tears were brimming in both of their eyes and Luke took a second to compose himself.

"I want to wake up everyday for the rest of my life next to you. I want to be with you in the morning and make you coffee and breakfast. I want to go to our kid's first day of school, to their games or events, to their graduations, with you on my arm. You're in my heart for always and I don't want to ever let you go, again."

When Luke pulled the ring box out of his pocket Lorelai gasped. "Luke…"

"Lorelai Victoria Gilmore, would you do me the honor and become my wife?" Luke asked breathlessly. He couldn't deny the fact that there were butterflies in his stomach that were going crazy and the anticipation of her answer was wearing on his nerves.

Lorelai was shocked. She couldn't breath. This is it, she thought,he's asking me to marry him. Is this what I want? Well, duh, of course this is what I want. No questions.

"Yes," she answered in a calm passion. "Nothing would make me happier."

Luke brought his lips to hers in a fury, capturing the moment and celebrating it all in one swoop. When they finally pulled away, both were out of breath and panting, smiles covered their face and passion filled their eyes.

"We should probably stop now," Lorelai said the disappointment evident in her eyes, "Wouldn't want to scar the kids too much."

"The doctor said it would be fine," Luke argued not wanting to give this moment up as his hands roamed her body.

"Not these kids," she said pointing to her stomach, "those kids." Pointing to their door and it clicked.

"April, Rory, and Logan," he said regrettably.

"It's a bit too early to be waking them up with our lovemaking," Lorelai said with a laugh.

"Ah jeez, Lorelai."

"What? Am I not allowed to want my fiancé?" she asked batting her eyelashes.

"You're not allowed to remind him that his twelve year old daughter and twenty two year old step daughter are in the house when he is ready to make love with his gorgeous fiancé."

"Ah, I'll have to remember that then," Lorelai said smiling. She buried herself in Luke's embrace and inhaled his sent. "Hey Luke…"

"No coffee," Luke automatically responded.

"Please, just a little bit?" she begged, producing the Gilmore pout.

"Nope, though I will make you chocolate chip pancakes this morning," Luke compromised and Lorelai squealed.

"You're amazing!" Lorelai exclaimed, practically pushing Luke out of the bed. "Now go, we're hungry."

"Come down in a bit, won't take me long to make them."

"Okay, hey Luke, I love you."

"Love you too, Lorelai."

--------------------

"Good morning beautiful," Logan greeted Rory as she slowly woke up that same morning.

"Good morning," she said, staying still for a moment, hoping the nausea would go away. It didn't. "Be right back."

Logan followed her into the bathroom, "I hate that you're sick like this."

"Well, it's your fault so you better be damn sorry," she said after she was done.

"My fault?"

"You're the one that got me pregnant aren't you? Yes, so therefore morning sickness, your fault."

"I see," he said trying hard to not laugh, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry doesn't do too much for me, but thanks." She said standing up, "okay, I'm good, I think."

They went back into her childhood room and Rory collapsed onto the bed, "I'm still so tired,"

"It's been a crazy couple days," Logan said sympathetically, "its okay to be tired."

"Thanks hon, I'm sorry about yelling at you earlier," Rory told him.

"It's okay," Logan said, "I think I hear Luke in the kitchen. I'm going to see if he needs any help."

"Okay, that means mom is up, I'll go see her." Rory said them and the parted ways for a brief moment.

---------------------

"Mom?" Rory asked from just outside her bedroom door.

"Come in," Lorelai answered very cheerfully. "Hey sweets."

"You're awful chipper this morning," Rory greeted, sitting down on the side of the bed.

"I am," Lorelai agreed smiling.

"Did you do something slutty?" Rory asked with a laugh.

"No, not to say I didn't want to."

"Ah, mom too much information."

"You asked," Lorelai rebutted with a grin.

"That doesn't mean I actually wanted to know."

"Then you shouldn't have asked."

"But…never mind. For real though, why are you so extra happy this morning if it isn't that?"

Lorelai held up her left hand and Rory squealed.

"He did it, he finally asked!" Rory exclaimed throwing her arms around Lorelai tightly. "I'm so happy for you guys."

"Thanks babe," Lorelai said. "I couldn't be happier."

"Have you picked a date?" Rory asked.

"No," Lorelai told her with a sigh, "we don't want to wait too long, but we want April to be here too, so we are trying to think of a time when we can fly her out here for it."

"For what?" April asked her head appearing in the door. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt."

"Nonsense, come in sweetie." Lorelai scooted over to give April some room in the bed too. All three girls were squished on the bed, but they didn't seem to mind or notice.

"I probably shouldn't tell you without your dad here," Lorelai started then decided she didn't care, "but oh well, I can't wait. Your dad and I are engaged."

"Oh Lorelai, I'm so happy for you!" April exclaimed wrapping her soon to be step-mother in a hug. "When?"

"He proposed this morning," Lorelai told them. She briefly explained how he did it, receiving happy sighs from both girls when she was finished. It helped she had kept out the dirty parts.

"Lorelai," Luke said coming into the room, taken aback at first at the sight of them on the bed giggling. "Did I miss something?"

"They know," Lorelai said smiling. "I couldn't wait to tell them."

"It's okay," Luke said and April jumped up to give her dad a hug.

"I'm happy for you and Lorelai dad!" April exclaimed. "When is the wedding going to be?"

"We haven't really decided yet. Soon I hope." Luke said and Lorelai urgently agreed.

"We will take more about that later though," Lorelai said, "is breakfast ready?"

"Sure is," Luke said and all three girls were out the door. Luke smiled as he followed them downstairs.
