A/N: Thank you so much for all the reviews! They were great. You guys rock. Hope you enjoy this next chapter in the great saga of Lorelai, Luke, Rory and Logan. And review. PLEASE!

Disclaimer: Still? I don't...duh.

"I can't just ask him to come without talking to Rory first," Luke argued. This was a conversation that had become fairly common in the Gilmore/Danes household over the past several days and neither were close backing down from their stances.

"I agree with that," Lorelai told him for the umpteenth time, "But you keep putting off asking her. You have to soon if you want him to come, Luke. We are getting married in a week. One week."

"I know that Lorelai," Luke exclaimed, "I know it's a week away."

"Why didn't you ask her when they were here last week?" Lorelai asked, "That would have been the perfect chance."

"I know," Luke said, his hands rubbing is temple in attempted relief. "I just…I just don't want to cause any problems."

"Problems Luke?" Lorelai asked, "What do you mean?"

"I love Rory," Luke tried explaining, "and right now, everything is working out for her. I don't want him to mess it up."

"You don't know he'll mess it up," Lorelai argued.

"You are taking his side?"

"I never said I was taking his side."

"That is what is sounded like."

"You Danes men are so stubborn. He's your nephew. A nephew you care about and a nephew that you have been through a lot with. I just think he deserves to be at our wedding."

"I want Jess there," Luke said, "I really do. But…"

Luke paused and turned away. He didn't want to tell Lorelai the real reason he was avoiding asking Jess to the wedding. She doesn't need to know, Luke thought to himself, she doesn't.

"But what Luke?" Lorelai asked angrily. "You need to call him and tell him. Before Liz does."

"They probably aren't even talking."

"You don't know that," Lorelai argued, "She's been trying a lot harder. Call him."

"But what about Rory?"

"What about Rory?"

"Their history," Luke said, "What about their history."

"It's exactly that," Lorelai retorted, "it's history. Rory is engaged, happy, and pregnant with another man's baby. I don't think you have to worry about that."

"You don't think it would be awkward having Logan and Jess both here."

"Maybe a little bit awkward, but they are both apart of the family. They'll have to get used to it," Lorelai assured him, "besides, Jess may have someone to bring with him."

"Jess is dating someone?" Luke asked, "How do you know that?"

"I didn't say he was for sure," Lorelai said exasperated. "I said he might. It's been months since you talked to him. You never know."

"I should call him," Luke finally agreed.

"Yes," Lorelai said, "you should. It's only fair."

"I still want to talk to Rory first," Luke told her, "that is fair to her."

"So call her," Lorelai told him handing him the phone, "but I'm telling you she won't mind."

With that Lorelai turned and walked out of their bedroom and down the hall to the nursery, leaving a very confused Luke to make a decision. After several moments of internal debate he dialed the familiar number.

Three rings later it was answered.

"Mom?" Rory's voice greeted, after seeing the familiar number on caller id.

"Hey Rory," Luke said tentatively, "it's Luke."

"Oh hey Luke," Rory said, "Is everything alright? Is mom okay?"

"You mom is fine," Luke assured her, "everything is good. I just…I just had a question I needed to ask you."

"Sure Luke, what's up?"

"Well," Luke said shyly, "You know our wedding is coming up this next weekend."

"Yeah…"

"And I was wondering…"

"Luke are you ok?" Rory asked him after he paused again. "You sound sick almost."

"I'm fine," Luke said, rubbing the back of his neck. Why is this so god damn hard? "I wanted to make sure it was okay with you before I invited someone to the wedding."

"Oh." Rory's voice said, her mind immediately knowing who he was talking about.

"If you don't want me too, or you think it will be too awkward to have him here I won't," Luke told her, "I just wanted to talk to you."

"Luke," Rory interrupted, "he should be there. He'd want to be there."

"Are you sure you're okay with it?"

"Luke, I'm fine with it," Rory told him. "He's apart of your family and he cares about you. He'd really want to be there. Besides, I'm completely happy with Logan. Jess was a good part of my life, but I've moved on, I'm happy now. Seeing him won't change that."

"Okay."

"You really weren't going to invite him if I wasn't okay with it?" Rory asked him after several seconds of silence.

"I didn't want things to be awkward for you," Luke told her quietly. "I care about you and your feelings."

"You," Rory started, "Luke Danes are probably the sweetest guy I know. But I'm fine with it, really. Call him and invite him. He should be there."

"I will," Luke assured her, "I'll call him today."

"Good," Rory agreed, "Though you may want to warn him about me."

"A very good idea Miss Gilmore," Luke said, "soon-to-be Mrs. Huntzberger."

Rory smiled and chuckled, "that sounds good, Mrs. Huntzberger. I can't wait."

"Logan is a good man," Luke said, "I'm happy for you."

"Thank Luke. I'm happy for you and mom. I'm glad you are finally getting it."

"Me too Rory, god so much."

"Go call Jess and invite him to your wedding," Rory said, "I've got to go. Doctor's appointment."

"Going to find out what you're going to have?"

"Hopefully," Rory told him, "Just hope your grandchild isn't being shy today. I'm dying to know."

Luke's face brightened as Rory referred to her baby as his grandchild, "I'm dying to know too."

"You're going to be a great grandpa and dad to these babies Luke," Rory told him, "They are very lucky."

"Thanks Ror," Luke said blushing, "good luck."

"Thanks Luke, bye."

"Bye."

Luke hung up the phone and took a deep breath. He was glad she seemed okay with it, he did really want Jess be there. After everything they'd been through and all the crap, he still cared about Jess. Jess was one of the people that had been able to see his feelings for Lorelai way back when, and even if it had taken him eight years to make the move, Jess deserved to see their beginning. Tossing the phone back and forth between his hands he debated on making the phone call. Before he had a chance the phone rang.

"Hello?" Luke said into the receiver.

"Hey dad," April's voice greeted him and a smile broke out on his face.

"Hey kid," Luke greeted, "how are you?"

"I'm great," April exclaimed, "getting excited for this coming weekend. How are all the wedding plans coming?"

"Lorelai has it all under control," Luke said with a chuckle, "all I have to do is show up on Saturday."

"Well, that makes it easy for you," April said, joining him in on the laughter. "How is Lorelai feeling with the babies? Did you find out what the twins are? You never did call me yesterday after the appointment."

"I'm sorry, I didn't. We got distracted…"

"Eww, dad gross!" April exclaimed.

"Ah jeez," Luke grunted, "not that distracted. Logan and Rory came over to announce their engagement."

"Oh," April said giggling, "that'll teach me to jump to conclusions. So Logan and Rory are engaged now too! When is their wedding?"

"Well aren't you just full of questions today?" Luke asked happily filing his daughter in, "They haven't set a date yet, but they are thinking April or May when the baby is a bit older for them. They are hopefully finding out what they are having today, as long as he or she isn't being shy today."

"I hope they have a little girl," April said, "I've always wanted a niece."

"Well, you may. But, I can tell you this," Luke said, "you are getting a half brother and a half sister."

"You're having one of each?" April exclaimed, "That is so cool dad!"

"Lorelai and I are excited," Luke told her, "we are still trying to decide on names though."

"I bet Lorelai wants to name the boy Lucas," April guessed and Luke laughed.

"You are right on there, though I'm trying to avoid that."

"You don't want your son to be named after you?" April asked.

"Not particularly," Luke told her, "we'll see though."

"Hey Luke," Lorelai called from down the hall, "can you come here for a second?"

"Coming," Luke called back, "sorry April."

"No big deal," April told him, "I actually need to speak to Lorelai too since she's there."

"Well sure," Luke said, walking into the nursery. "She's right here."

"Is that Rory?" Lorelai asked and Luke shook his head.

"It's April," Luke told her, "she wants to talk to you."

"Sure," Lorelai said taking the phone, "Hey April, what's up?"

"I just wanted to make sure you got the measurements I emailed to you yesterday," April told her soon to be step mother, "you know for my dress."

"I did," Lorelai told her, "and your dress is almost finished. Sorry I didn't email you back, I've been swamped."

"Don't worry about it," April assured her, "I just wanted to make sure you got them and so I figured I'd give you guys a call. Who is picking me up from the airport on Thursday?"

"Rory and I," Lorelai told her, "and from there we are going to dinner for a pre-bachelorette party, then to Sookie's for the real deal, totally PG though, just for you."

"Sounds like a blast," April exclaimed, "I can't wait. All of my friends are jealous because I'm missing two days of school and a big history test."

"Sweet, we are giving you extra days to study," Lorelai laughed, "don't you love us?"

"I do," April said, joining in the laughter, "history is my least favorite subject too, so that makes it even better."

"Good stuff," Lorelai boasted, "hey sweets, I gotta go. I'm trying to work on the dresses and the nursery and god knows what else. I'll see you on Thursday though. Love you."

"Love you too Lorelai," April said and Lorelai beamed. "Would you mind putting dad back on?"

"Not at all," Lorelai told her, handing the phone back to a smiling Luke, "I'll be in the sewing room if you need me."

Luke watched Lorelai walk down the hall before continuing his conversation with his daughter. His heart had jumped as Lorelai had talked and joked with April and he cursed himself for ever trying to keep them apart.

That was the stupidest thing I ever did, he thought to himself. I'm so glad we were able to work everything out. April is lucky to know Lorelai, I just wished she lived closer.

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

Luke sat in his truck, fingers drumming on the steering wheel, as he sat and looked at the apartment building in front of him. He'd been sitting in the same place for what seemed like hours now, but in reality he hadn't been there more than twenty minutes.

God, he thought, this is pathetic. I've been sitting here for twenty minutes trying to decide if I actually want to go in, when I drove over 4 hours to get here. Just do it Danes, just ring the bell.

Luke finally stepped out of his truck and made his way to the door. Looking through the names on the door he fidgeted, rocking back on his heels until he found the one he wanted.

J. Mariano-Apt 3D

Luke's finger went to the button, then back down to his side, then to the button again, and then was stuffed into his pocket as he walked briskly away from the door down the sidewalk.

What I am so damn scared of? Luke asked himself, He's my nephew, and he's my nephew I haven't seen or talked to in almost a year. Last Christmas was it? Yup, last Christmas when he bit my head off for letting Lorelai get away from me. Oh, then I slugged him. Bet that's it. Bet that's why I'm so damn scared to face him. I was mad, I was drunk, I was heartbroken, and I took it out on him. Then I didn't even try to call him to apologize. It shouldn't surprise me that his number changed again. Just go back Danes, face him, talk to him, and invite him to your wedding. That shouldn't be too hard.

Luke laughed at himself and caused several people passing him by to give him that strange, 'why are you not in a crazy home' look that he desperately tried to avoid for the most part. Pausing he turned back around and back to Jess' apartment building. Taking a deep breath he pressed the button for 3D and waited for a response.

"Yeah?" Luke heard Jess' voice asked and he paused. "Hello?"

"Jess," Luke choked out, "It's Luke. Can I talk to you?"

There was a long paused before Luke finally heard the static from the intercom answering. "Sure, I'll buzz you in."

Luke waited until he heard the door pop open and quickly entered the building. Taking the steps two at a time he reached Jess' door and knocked. The door flung open and Jess stood there with the look on his face that questioned his uncle's presence at his apartment hours away from his own home.

"What are you doing here Uncle Luke?" Jess asked the sarcastic edge evident on his tongue.

"I wanted to talk to you," Luke started and Jess motioned for him to enter the apartment. Luke was nervous, probably the first time he'd been really nervous since he'd kissed Lorelai on the porch of the Dragonfly so many years ago. "Thanks for letting me in."

"Yeah, whatever."

"Jess," Luke started, "I was stupid…and drunk. Not a very good combination. I'm sorry."

"Thanks."

They sat in silence for a few moments before Jess turned back to Luke.

"Is that what you drove all the way here to say? I'm sorry?"

"Its part of the reason," Luke answered honestly, "I also wanted to tell you that I'm engaged."

This caught Jess' attention and his head shot up, "What?"

"I'm engaged," Luke said again and before he could say anything else he was interrupted.

"To who? God, don't tell me that Rachel came back and you settled for her?"

"I'm engaged to Lorelai."

Jess' eyes grew wide in confusion, "what?"

"I'm engaged to Lorelai," Luke said again, "and she's pregnant."

"It's yours?"

"Damn straight they're mine," Luke said angrily and Jess placed up his hands in defense.

"Sorry man," Jess said, "that's not what I meant. They?"

"Twins."

Jess paused and Luke shook his head. The silence wasn't uncomfortable, per say, but neither were happy with it.

"I want you to come to the wedding," Luke said, breaking the silence. "It's on Saturday."

"You're getting married this Saturday?" Jess asked, "like in six days from now, Saturday?"

"Yes," Luke confirmed.

"Explain, please." Jess said and Luke explained in detail everything that had happened. By the end Jess was shaking his head in disbelief. "Wow."

"I know," Luke said in agreement, "it's been one hell of a crazy ride."

"And you're happy?"

"I couldn't be happier Jess," Luke assured him. "She's everything I've ever wanted. I'm not letting her go again."

"Good," Jess said, "You were damn stupid for letting her go in the first place."

"I know," Luke said, "I couldn't make that mistake again."

"I'll be there."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'll be there. I wouldn't miss it," Jess told him, extending his hand. Luke grabbed it and they embraced.

"I'm glad," Luke told him, "I want you there."

Jess paused for a moment, "I guess this means I'm going to have to face Rory, huh?"

"Rory will be there," Luke confirmed, "with her fiancé."

"That prick Logan?" Jess asked bitterly.

"He's not a prick anymore," Luke said, "he's changed, a lot. He's matured."

"I'll bet," Jess said sarcastically.

"They are expecting. She's about a month more along than Lorelai."

"Wow."

"Think about coming," Luke asked, "I'd really like for you to be there."

"I'll be there," Jess said again.

"And…"

"And I'll be good. No confrontations," Jess said. "I just want her to be happy."

"She is," Luke told him. "She really is."

"Good."

"I've got to go," Luke said standing up, "Wedding is at three on Saturday in the town square. If you need somewhere to stay we can find you a place. If anything you can stay in the spare room at the house and if you want you can bring someone. A date."

"Wait, that house has a spare room?"

"We bought the old Twickman place," Luke told him, "there are lots of spare bedrooms."

"I'll be there," Jess assured him, "I'll probably drive up Friday night and I'll bring my girlfriend."

"Good."

With another hug Luke was out the door and back in his truck. Luke blared Jimmy Buffet has he headed back to Stars Hollow a weight lifted from his shoulders.

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

"I'm getting married in two days!" Lorelai exclaimed to Rory as they sat in the coffee shop in the Hartford airport waiting on April's flight to get in.

"You are getting married in two days to Luke, the love of your life and father to your unborn children," Rory exclaimed back, "I'm so happy for you mom."

"I can't believe it," Lorelai said, "It almost seems too good to be true."

"You've both been waiting a long time for this," Rory told her, "to be together. You deserve it."

"I do, don't I?"

Rory and Lorelai shared a laughed and went back to dreamily thinking about the upcoming nuptials.

"You don't mind that Jess and his girlfriend are coming do you?" Lorelai asked her daughter.

"Of course not," Rory assured her again. "I'm happy with Logan and I want him to be happy too. We never really were meant to be together."

"I'm glad you're happy sweets," Lorelai told her with a kiss on the temple. "You're going to be a mommy."

"So are you!" Rory cried and they happily embraced each other again. "Hey, it's time for April's plane to land. Let's go to the terminal exit."

They headed over to meet April; both thrilled to be spending some real family time with her by themselves that night before the bachelorette party. After what seemed like ages they finally spotted April's dark brown hair and started shouting. After a chorus of hugs and squeals, and 'oh my gosh you look so beautiful pregnant,' the three girls headed off to gather April's luggage.

About an hour later the girls settled into a booth at Sniffy's, the first time they had ever been there without Luke and were chatting away after they'd ordered.

April told them all about what she'd been doing in school and how much she loved it. Rory told stories of San Francisco and the newspaper she now worked out, while Lorelai told stories about the remodeling of the Twickham house and the differences her and Luke were having naming the babies.

"I really want William for a boy," Lorelai told them, "but I haven't brought it up to Luke yet. I'm not sure how he'll take it."

"I think naming the baby after Grandpa Will would be nice," April told them, "I wish I would have gotten to meet him."

"Me too," Rory agreed with a sad smile. "What about naming him Lucas?"

Both April and Lorelai burst out laughing at this, "Luke is dead set against naming the baby after him. He won't even consider it."

"Dad told me it would be just too weird for him," April threw in. "What about naming him after your dad Lorelai?"

"Richard?" Lorelai asked out loud, "I don't know."

"I've got it mom," Rory said suddenly, "William Richard Danes."

"That's nice," April agreed, "very regal."

"I like that," Lorelai said, "I'll have to bring that one up."

"What about girl names?" April asked, "Are you going to name her Lorelai?"

"No," Lorelai said, "That is a tradition for the first born girl only."

"Yup," Rory said, rubbing her belly, "This one here has already got her name."

"Really?" Lorelai and April asked simultaneously.

"Yup," Rory said nodding, "She will be Lorelai Elizabeth Huntzberger. Elizabeth is Logan's grandmother's name."

"Oh honey," Lorelai gushed, "that's beautiful."

"I love it," April agreed, "what are you going to call her?"

"That we haven't decided on yet," Rory said, "Either Lorie or Beth."

"I like Lorie," April said and Lorelai nodded in agreement.

"We aren't sure," Rory said as she finished her meal. "It'll probably end up at Lorie."

"Well girls," Lorelai said, changing the subject, "If we want to make it to Sookie's on time we have to fly now. Let's go."

The three girls headed out, smiling and laughing, arm in arm, and Maize and Buddy just smiled as they watched them leave.
