Disclaimer: I own Will and Emma, but nobody else.
Author's Note: I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry it took so long to update this story! I have been extremely busy at school lately and I have had a case of writer's block. I think there will only be one or two more chapters until I do the wedding, which is going to be the end of the story. Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter!
"Ugh, Luke!" Lorelai moaned, once again to be woken up by two wailing babies in the nursery next door. Luke didn't budge.
She sat up in bed and looked over at Luke. The twins had been home for two weeks now and he would always sleep through the crying. She put her hands on his side and started to shake him roughly.
"What? Lorelai?" He asked sleepily.
"How can you sleep through that?" She asked, clearly awake now.
Luke rolled over, "Well, it is 2:15 in the morning and I only have three and a half more hours of sleep. Plus, I didn't get to bed last night until 11:15."
"Whatever, let's just get those two hushed up so I can get my beauty rest. Christmas is in two weeks so I have to shop tomorrow, and on top of that I am picking out a wedding dress with Sookie."
"Whose going to watch Will and Emma, then?" Luke asked, getting up.
"My mother," Lorelai said. Luke stood there a second, shocked that Lorelai would actually let Emily baby-sit.
After the shock wore off, Luke followed Lorelai into the nursery. She had picked up Will and started to rock him back to sleep. He moved on over to Emma's petite form and lifted her out of the crib.
He immediately got a whiff of a terrible smell when she was in his arms. He turned to Lorelai, who had obviously planned this, was trying to hold back laughter. "You planned this didn't you?" He asked her walking over to the changing table.
"Let's just say 'If you snooze, you loose'." She whispered. Will had fallen asleep in her arms, so she slowly stood up and placed him in his crib.
Luke rolled his eyes. He discarded the dirty diaper in the trash and applied a new one on Emma. Her crying had stopped, and now she was drifting back into a deep sleep. Luke redressed her and returned her to her crib.
Luke and Lorelai made their way back to bed tiredly. They climbed in under the warm covers and slept peacefully once again.
Lorelai awoke in the morning to the sound of crying again. She rolled over to check the clock which read 8:15. Luke had gone to the diner already.
Not stalling any longer, she got up and went in the nursery to quite Emma. She picked up the baby who cooed in her arms. Not wanting to wake up Will, Lorelai brought Emma downstairs and set her in the baby swing.
She walked into the kitchen to a pot of already brewed and filled her biggest cup to the brim. She was up almost all night and needed the caffeine. Today was going to be a long day.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Lorelai had gotten the twins in the car and drove them out to Hartford so they could spend the day with their Grandma. Emily had gotten on Lorelai's nerves after a minute, as usual, so she left immediately needing the alone time very badly.
She got to the mall and spent two and a half hours getting gifts for everyone on her list. After piling all the bags in her car, she made a quick trip back home to hide the gifts before heading back out to meet Sookie at the bridal shop.
She had arrived a few minutes late and Sookie was already inside trying to figure out the perfect dress.
"Lorelai, look at this one!" She said, holding up a Carmeuse slim gown with beaded straps, neckline and empire waist with a sweep train.
"Sookie it's nice, but not what I'm looking for." Lorelai replied, flipping through the racks.
"Well, what about the 'perfect dress'? Why can't you just wear that one?"
When Lorelai turned to face Sookie, she had the faintest tears in her eyes. "Sookie, I can't use that dress. The perfect dress wasn't perfect. It was the exact opposite. I'm pretty sure it was bad luck!" She said exasperated.
"It's okay, honey. I know what you mean," She replied. The stood in silence for a moment, with only the sound of ruffling dresses. "Oh!" Sookie squealed.
She held up a Illusion tulle halter trumpet gown with beaded lace appliqué and godet skirt with a chapel train.
"Sook, hon, that's a little to flashy for me."
Suddenly Lorelai's hand stopped moving dresses. She pulled the dress out to show it to Sookie. It was a Strapless satin ball gown with beaded embroidery, beaded bodice pickup with a cathedral train.
Sookie's jaw about dropped to the floor. "Oh my god! That dress is perfect, Lorelai. Go try it on!" She ushered her to one of the dressing rooms.
Lorelai emerged a few minutes later and did a spin. Sookie squealed with excitement. Lorelai was even more thrilled. The second time was going to be way better. And the dress fit even better than the last one. Plus, It made her feel like a princess.
Lorelai wasn't completely sure on a lot of things in her life. But her and Luke getting married was one of those things that she knew was 100% right. And she could not wait for it.
To be continued...
