Hey guys! I had a few free minutes to upload the next chapter. I probably won't have an update again until after the holiday weekend but hopefully by Monday I will be able to get time to write. I hope you like this chapter and keep your eye out for an update. Thanks for all the reviews! They really motivate me to keep writing! :) Keep them coming!

A few days later, Luke left work early and headed to the Dragonfly to pick up Lorelai. Together they walked over to the lake to meet Taylor who would be showing them the land so that Lorelai could decide if she liked it as much as Luke.

"So this is it." Taylor said walking around them to look back at the lake, "You have a great view of the lake and the town beyond that. You have your own private dock, which is nice too. What do you think?"

Luke looked hopefully at Lorelai who was walking around with a small smile on her face, "It is absolutely perfect."

"Well you can buy it now if you want, we can head to town hall and fill out all the paperwork." Taylor said looking forward to making another successful business transaction.

Luke walked over to Lorelai who had stopped to gaze out at the lake; he placed a gentle hand on her lower back. "You sure? I don't want you to feel like you need to rush into this decision. We can think on it for awhile if you want…"

Lorelai smiled as she turned in his arms and wrapped her arm around his waist, "No. I don't need to think about it, it is the perfect place for us to build a home. The view is beautiful and like you said its half way between the Diner and the Inn so the commute is easy. And there is so much space to build on and still have an actual yard. I think its perfect. If you are ready I'll sign the papers today."

Luke smiled and kissed her gently, "Well okay then…" He turned back to Taylor, "Lead the way Taylor."

"Great." Taylor said clapping his hands together as he made his way down the path towards the main road, "Not that it is any of my business but since you are planning on building a house together does that mean that you two are officially back together?"

Lorelai smiled and squeezed Luke's hand as they walked behind him, "As a matter of fact we are engaged."

"Again?" Taylor asked turning to stare at her skeptically. "I feel like I'm having déjà vu! I must tell you now that I don't have any more Zima…you bought my last box the last time you decided to get married."

Lorelai frowned and Luke pulled her closer, "We don't need any Zima Taylor and this time around we are actually getting married."

"And you should feel privileged Taylor, aside from Rory and Sookie you are the only other member of this town who currently knows about this." Lorelai said with a smile.

"Well lucky me." Taylor said as they continued to walk towards town hall, "Should I bother buying a wedding gift this time? I already returned the last one…"

Luke sighed and glared at him, "We are getting married this time Taylor but I'm not sure you are going to be invited."

Taylor huffed and turned to look at him, "Well that would be incredibly rude of you."

"You're being rude right now!" Luke said with an exasperated groan.

"I was only trying to understand if the marriage would stick this time. I don't want to get all excited again about something that is never going to happen. Lorelai does seem to have a habit of getting engaged and running away…" Taylor said.

Lorelai gasped, "Hey! Maybe Luke is right, maybe you won't be invited to our wedding Taylor! Just because I have made a few mistakes in the past doesn't mean I can't make a marriage work. I love Luke and I want to marry him no matter what you or any one else thinks. This is going to work and we are going to be together forever you big meanie!" She finished her speech by sticking her tongue out at him.

Luke smiled at her proudly and couldn't help but chuckle at her childish attitude, "Well alright if you say so. I always did think you two would make a good couple if you just sat still long enough to figure it out." Taylor said with a shrug, "Besides who else would put up with this crank?" He said pointing a finger over at Luke.

Lorelai wrapped her arm around Luke's waist again and beamed up at him, "He may be a crank but he's MY crank."

"Well as long as you're happy…" Taylor said shrugging as he watched them stare longingly at one another, he couldn't help but smile. "But to be honest…I really am happy for you both."

Lorelai turned back to Taylor and smiled, "Thank you Taylor…"

Taylor nodded once, "Should I be keeping this a secret for the time being? Or are you planning on telling the rest of the town?"

"Well I did promise Sookie she could tell everyone because she has done such a good job at keeping the secret so far." Lorelai said.

Luke grimaced, "You did?"

Lorelai smiled up at him, "Yes. We talked about it the other day. I told her now that my parents knew she could tell everyone else if she wanted."

"And just how is she planning on doing that?" Luke said with a nervous smile.

Lorelai laughed and nodded her head towards the town square, "Take a look for yourself…"

Luke's head snapped up and mouth fell open when he saw the giant banner hanging in front of the gazebo. "Oh my God…"

"I don't think she got a permit for that!" Taylor said running towards the town square where most of the town's people were gathering.

Lorelai giggled as she glanced at the banner, "She said she's had it stashed away for the last few months because she was sure we would get back together. Isn't that cute?"

Luke couldn't seem to answer her as he continued to stare at the large banner with his and Lorelai's faces plastered on it with the words, "They are finally taking the plunge!" And scribbled underneath were the words at the Dragonfly, September 1st, at 4pm, formal initiation to be sent out at a later date!

"Lorelai…what the hell…" He said turning back to her in disbelief. "You let her put that thing up?"

Lorelai laughed at his embarrassed expression, "She's my best friend! How could I say no? I thought it was sweet that she kept it all this time…she knew we were meant to be together even when we tried to deny it. And besides she's done such a good job at keeping our secret, which we both know is extremely difficult for her! It was the least I could do!"

"But-it-I look-I'm huge!" He yelled looking back at the banner, "My face is literally taking over the freaking town square!"

Lorelai smiled and pulled him close again, "I know! I love it! I think we should totally put this up in our house somewhere or maybe even up on the roof!"

Luke glared down at her, "Don't you even think about it! That thing is getting burned!"

Lorelai pouted, "But don't you want everyone to know that you love me?"

Luke rolled his eyes, "No pouting. Everyone already knows I love you Lorelai, they don't need a freaking banner to tell them that. You've had me wrapped around your finger for years!"

She smiled, "That's true. At least this way we get to tell everyone all at once, its much easier. And its like Rory said with my parents, we are just ripping the band-aid off. Much simpler this way…besides it made Sookie happy."

Luke sighed and looked over at the banner again as he watched the towns people looking back at them and waving and shouting congratulations. "Well I guess now that everyone has seen it there is no use in being upset over it."

"Exactly." Lorelai said rubbing his back gently, "And I promise after today we can take it down and you can burn it if you want."

Luke smiled and looked back down at her, "I guess we don't have to burn it…but we definitely aren't putting it up in our house or on the roof."

Lorelai smiled up at him, "Fair enough. Maybe we can put it in a box in the basement."

"Whatever you want dear…" He said as they began to walk again towards Taylor, "Lets go sign the papers for our new home."

Lorelai smiled and followed her future husband through the town and accepted many congratulatory hugs along the way. She couldn't wait to start her new life with the man she loved…

Later that night, Lorelai, Luke and Tom sat at the dining room table in Luke's apartment. He had called Tom up in the morning and asked if he could come over to discuss the project. Tom agreed to build the house and now they were putting together a plan of all the things they want.

"So this is just a rough sketch I put together this afternoon." Tom said opening up the paper and laying it flat against the table, "I checked out the property and this should be big enough but we can add more or make it smaller if you want. I know you said you want at least four bedrooms…"

Lorelai looked over the rough plan of her new home, "Four would be good, and if we ever needed more than that we could add on later right?"

"Sure." Tom said as he moved across the paper, "This would be the master suit, Luke said he wanted a view of the lake and this particular spot will give you a nice view of the sunset. Luke said you aren't a morning person so I made sure that the sun will rise on the opposite side of the house."

"I knew I always liked you…" Lorelai said patting him the back.

"Glad to hear it." Tom said without smiling as he moved along, "I thought maybe you might want a smaller room just off your room that would technically be connected. As a nursery…Luke also mentioned you wanted more kids. It would be pretty small so it wouldn't be an actual full bedroom. But once the kid is to big you could turn it into something else or just knock the wall down and add it to your bedroom."

"I like that…" Lorelai said running her hands over the small room, "Oh I could even turn it into a closet once the baby is big enough to have its own room!"

Tom chuckled, "I thought you might say that, but I already have a walk in closet for you over here if you want it." He said pointing to the other side of the master bedroom, "And next to that would be the master bath…"

"Very nice…" Luke said looking it over, "Looks like plenty of room for all your clothes. We could always put some couches in the little add on nursery later and some books…you like to read before bed and I always go to bed early."

Lorelai smiled, "That would be a good idea too."

Tom nodded, "And then across the hall here is another bedroom, either for your future kid or April or Rory. And then beside that room is another bathroom for the kids and across then two more bedrooms down here." He said pointing to the other end, "I figured April and Rory would want their own rooms at least for now."

Lorelai nodded, "April will definitely need her own room when she stays with us. Rory does have her own apartment now but I would like her to have a place to stay when she visits so that's good too."

Tom nodded, "Great. Now once you move to the first floor we have more room for adjustment. I drew a pretty sizeable living room but we can make that smaller if you want. Then down the hall would be the kitchen, and Luke mentioned you wanted a breakfast nook."

"He did huh?" She said beaming at her fiancé, "He is a smart man that future husband of mine…"

"The smartest." Tom said in a flat tone as he looked back at the drawing, "Over here would be where all the appliances go, if you want an island we can do that but most people don't usually do that and a breakfast nook."

"We can decide on that later." Luke said as he pointed to a smaller room beside it, "Would this be the dining room?"

Tom nodded, "Yep. We could even put a little bar in there if you want for when you have guests."

"Or for when we don't have guests." Lorelai said with a shrug, "A bar is always a good thing to have!"

Luke laughed and looked back at Tom, "What about a bathroom on the first floor?"

"That's over here and then another little room you could use as an office or even a guest bedroom if you'd like or maybe even both." Tom said with a shrug.

"That could be your gym if you want." Lorelai said rubbing Luke's shoulders.

"I was thinking we could put that in the basement, and maybe even a play room down there too." Luke said pointing to the basement plans, "As long as that's okay with you."

"There would probably be enough room for three separate rooms down there if you want. We could decide on something else for the spare room down there." Tom said with a shrug.

Lorelai bit her lip, "Do you think I could have my own sewing room?"

"Sure. If you want we can do that." Tom said penciling it on the paper. "Luke also said you want a wrap around porch."

"I do, is that possible?" She asked hopefully, "I love the one on my house and I really would love to have one."

Tom nodded, "It shouldn't be a problem, I've built plenty." He made a few more notes on the blue print, "Hey Luke I know you said you wanted to help with the building if you can, do you still want to do that?"

Luke nodded, "I'd like to if you don't mind. I just want to be a part of it to make sure it all goes the way we want it. Plus I always kind of wanted to build my own house..."

"That is so sexy…" Lorelai said staring down at him, "My big muscle man is gonna build me a house!"

"Try and keep your pants on until after I leave okay?" Tom said with a smirk.

Luke blushed and Lorelai wrapped an arm around him affectionately, "I'll do my best."

"Great thanks." He put his pencil down and looked at them both, "With the budget Luke gave me I could probably be ready to start construction in about a week. We could possibly be done before the wedding but it would be tight…I don't have a lot of other projects going on right now though so I bet we could do it."

Luke looked back at Lorelai, "Well if it isn't done we can stay here for awhile right?"

Lorelai nodded, "Yeah. We talked to the realtor today and she is going to come inspect my house this week and put it on the market. She said she already has a few families that she think might be interested in moving in. So when that goes through we would have more money to work on the house too."

Tom nodded, "Well great. I'll try and make a more final sketch for you guys within the next few days and then bring it to you to finalize. Is that good?"

"It sounds great." Luke said as he put his hand out to shake Toms, "Thanks so much for being so quick about this. I know it was all kind of rushed."

Tom shrugged, "It's no problem. Like I said I don't have many jobs at the moment and I actually like you two more than most of my usual clients. Besides it's a great piece of land you've got so I'm looking forward to this particular project."

"That's what we like to hear." Lorelai said as they all stood up and walked towards the door. "If there is anything you need from us please let us know."

"My only request is that you don't make me work with T.J. this time around. Having him around for an addition was one thing but when we are building a house from top to bottom I can't promise I'd be able to keep him safe." Tom said as they approached the apartment door, "And when I say that I don't mean an accidental injury I mean I can't promise I won't push him from the roof."

Luke laughed, "You don't have to worry about T.J. being involved. I already filled my brother-in-law duties by asking him to be in the actual wedding. He doesn't need to be involved in building our house too. I'd like the house to actually stay up when we get some heavy wind."

Tom nodded, "That's usually what people want…"

Lorelai smiled, "Thanks again Tom. Will talk to you in a few days."

"Great." He reached for the door knob, "Oh hey and congratulations by the way. I know this time it will stick."

Luke smiled and pulled Lorelai closer, "Yes. It will."

"Bye Tom." Lorelai said as she waved at him when he walked out of the apartment, when he was gone she turned back to Luke. "Those plans look amazing! I can't wait to see it when it's actually built."

"They do look great. We have a little tweaking to do but not much. He heard most of what I was asking for when he talked last." Luke said as they walked further into the apartment.

They sat down together on the couch just as Paul Anka jumped up to snuggle with Lorelai, "It's all happening so fast…"

Luke reached over and took her hand, "Is that okay? Because we can slow down if you want. You already have a lot going on…if it's to much to soon we can wait."

Lorelai shook her head and leaned in closer to him, "No it's not to fast. It just feels like a dream though. Some mornings when I wake up I have to pinch myself to remind myself its all real."

Luke smiled and brushed her hair out of her face, "I know what you mean."

"And to be honest all of this has been a good distraction for me. I've been so worried about the trial and having to see Christopher again that I think if I didn't have all of this to think about, I would be a total mess. Knowing I have something amazing happening as soon as the trial is over is really helping me keep it together." She said smiling up at him before she rested her head against his shoulder.

Luke kissed the top of her head and began to rub his knuckles up and down her arm soothingly, "Good. I'm glad…"

"And I meant what I said before…I think it is really sexy that you want to help build the house." She said tilting her head to look at him.

He smirked down at her, "Oh yeah?"

She nodded slowly as she reached up to caress his face, "Definitely. I can't wait to take a break from work and go check up on the house and see you all sweaty and your muscles popping out as you nail up the wall to our bedroom." She giggled, "All I'll be able to think about is how when you are done you'll be nailing me there too!"

Luke groaned and threw his head back, "Aw geez…"

Lorelai laughed as he tried to pull away from her and she quickly pulled herself up to straddle his waist, "And then you'll use your screw driver to screw something and I'll imagine you scre-"

Luke put a hand over her mouth as he tried not to laugh, "Please stop. You're crazy."

She smiled against his hand and bit it playfully, "Crazy in love baby…"

Luke shook his head and moved his hand to hold her face in place, "Nope…you're just plain crazy."

"That makes you crazier for loving me…" She said cocking her head to the side.

"Well then I guess we make a good pair…" He said pulling her closer to him.

"Yes, we sure do." Lorelai said with a smile as she leaned all the way in and kissed him passionately.

There was a lot to do in the next two months but neither of them could wait to see how it all played out.

A few days later, Lorelai went to visit Rory up at her apartment. She had officially graduated of course but was still living in her apartment for the time being. Luke was spending the night with April having some father and daughter bonding time.

Lorelai sat at her daughter's kitchen table and smiled, "So how are things with Logan? You haven't talked about him much…"

"Well we actually decided to take a break. I've had so much going on and he's so busy we haven't had time for each other. We still talk occasionally though so who knows what will happen in the future." Rory said with a shrug.

"Oh hon why didn't you tell me sooner? Are you okay?" Lorelai asked reaching her hand across the table to squeeze her hand encouragingly.

Rory nodded, "Yeah I'm okay. I care about Logan a lot but right now just isn't the time for us to be together. And I didn't tell you because you have had enough on your mind to worry about."

"But you're my daughter, your happiness is just as important to me as mine." Lorelai said with a sad smile, "I don't want you to think you can't talk to me about this kind of stuff."

"I know I can talk to you Mom but it just didn't come up. Don't worry about it. I'm really okay with it." She shrugged, "But there is something I do need to talk to you about…"

"Okay…" Lorelai said fidgeting in her seat, "What's up?"

"Well you know that I have been looking for jobs right?" Rory said nervously as she glanced at her Mom.

Lorelai nodded, "Of course. Why? Did you find one?"

"I got offered a paid internship for the next year…" Rory whispered.

"Honey that's great!" Lorelai said standing up to hug her, "When did this happen? Where is it? When does it start?"

"Well it starts after Labor Day…" Rory said as she waited for her Mom to sit back down, "And uh…it's in New York City."

Lorelai plopped down in her seat and frowned, "New York?"

Rory nodded slowly, "It's an internship for the New York Times…"

"Oh Wow…" Lorelai said swallowing hard, "Rory that's amazing. I'm so proud of you!"

She smiled softly, "Thanks Mom. I think this could be a really great opportunity for me; I would be working for one of the best newspapers in the country. I know it's kind of far but…it's not that bad right? I would come visit when I can and you can come visit me in the city too."

Lorelai smiled, "Of course I'm gonna miss you kid but this is a great opportunity for you. You can't turn it down! You would be doing what you have always wanted to do!"

"So you aren't mad?" Rory asked nervously.

"Of course I'm not mad!" Lorelai said scooting her chair closer to her, "I'm so proud of you Rory. You have worked so hard for this. I mean we will have to look into getting you an apartment there and-"

"Grandpa already took care of that for me." Rory said smiling.

Lorelai raised an eyebrow at her, "He did?"

Rory nodded, "Yeah. I talked to him about it yesterday when he came to have lunch with me. He said he had a friend who owned an apartment complex in Manhattan and he called to see if there were any available places to rent."

"Well that's amazing! Your Grandpa sure does work fast." She paused, "But I don't know how I feel about you living in the City all by yourself…"

Rory chuckled, "Well you don't have to worry about that because I already have a roommate."

"You do? Geez how out of it have I been lately? You've planned your whole life without me!" Lorelai said wit a pout.

Rory shook her head, "You've been busy and to be honest I just found out about the internship so this all happened within the last few days. I didn't want to tell you until I had everything settled so you wouldn't worry."

"Rory, I'm your Mother, I'm always going to worry!" Lorelai said laughing softly, "No matter how old you are or how old I am my job is to always worry about you."

"I know that. But I want you to focus on your new life with Luke and April and whoever else may come along. You shouldn't be worrying about me…you have so much to look forward too." Rory said reaching for her Moms hand.

Lorelai squeezed it back, "Honey just because I am starting a new life…doesn't mean you aren't still part of this family. You know that right?"

Rory smiled, "I know…but things are changing Mom and that's okay. It makes me a little sad to think it won't be just you and me anymore but I'm also really happy. You know that I love Luke and I want you guys to be together. And I adore April and can't wait to get to know her better."

"And if Luke and I do happen to have another kid? How will you really feel about that?" Lorelai asked nervously, "I want you to be honest with me…"

"I think it will be great. You know I always wanted a brother or sister and technically I do have one with GiGi but I don't get to see her often and I definitely won't see her much now…" Rory said with a shrug, "I think it will be cool to be able to watch my brother or sister grow up. And I know you want another kid."

Lorelai smiled, "It's funny because I was never really sure I wanted more kids. I mean I loved having you but you were so perfect I didn't think I'd get so lucky the second time around."

Rory rolled her eyes, "I'd hardly say I was perfect Mom."

Lorelai shook her head, "You were perfect Rory. You still are…and I want you to know that no matter who else comes along you will always be the best thing that ever happened to me. You changed my life kid…I love you more than you could possibly ever understand. So no matter how far away you go or how many more kids I have you will always have the most special place in my heart."

"Oh Mom…" Rory said as her eyes welled up with tears.

Lorelai smiled, "But if I do have more kids just don't tell them that I love you best, okay? It might cause some friction in the house…"

Rory laughed, "I promise I won't tell a soul."

"Good." Lorelai said patting her hand gently, "But I really mean it, no matter how things change you are always important to me. Anything you need, anytime I'll be there. Luke too, okay?"

Rory nodded, "Okay."

"Good." She leaned back in her chair and smiled, "So…how soon do you have to leave after the wedding?"

Rory grimaced, "Like…the very next day."

"Ugh…that doesn't leave us much time together." Lorelai said with a pout.

"Maybe it will be perfect timing. I mean you and Luke will be jetting off to your honeymoon and April will be moving to New Mexico. That will leave a lot of time for you and Luke to really focus on each other which is how it should be for newlyweds." Rory said with a shrug.

"God I forgot that April will be leaving too…" She sighed, "I'm starting to think our daughters just don't like us."

Rory laughed, "Always so dramatic…"

"You know you will have your very own room in the new house." Lorelai said honestly, "So anytime you want to come home you can, you never have to ask."

Rory smiled, "I appreciate that." She reached over and took a sip of her drink, "Has anyone put a bid on the house yet?"

Lorelai nodded, "Yes actually…a young couple that just had a kid. They seem really interested and are willing to give us what we are asking for it."

"That's good." She paused again and smiled sadly, "It is weird to think of other people living in our house though…"

"I know." Lorelai said with a sigh, "I haven't stayed there much lately but it will really be weird to say goodbye. I started packing a little but I was wondering if you wanted to help. You can take anything you want for your new apartment too."

Rory smiled, "That would be nice. That way I'll have a little bit of home with me in the City."

"Hey I was thinking the night before the wedding…maybe you and I can spend the night at the house together. Just us." She shrugged, "One last night as just the Gilmore Girls…"

Rory smiled, "That would be perfect…"

"The perfect ending to that chapter of our lives…" Lorelai said as her eyes welled up with tears, "I'm still having a hard time accepting you are a college graduate though. I still think you're a little kid…"

"I'm having a hard time believing it myself…" Rory said with a chuckle, "But somehow it's true."

"You'll always love Mommy though, right?" Lorelai said cocking her head to the side with a smile.

"Always." Rory said leaning over to hug her again, "Always, always."

Lorelai smiled and held her daughter tight, the idea of Rory moving away broke her heart but she knew it was time. She couldn't keep her in Stars Hollow forever and she didn't want too. She wanted her daughter to follow all her dreams and In New York she would be able to do that. And she would just have to make sure that she visited it as often as possible…

After leaving Rory's apartment Lorelai drove back to Stars Hollow and straight to the Diner, she walked into the apartment and plopped down on Luke's bed where he was reading alone. April had gone home but would be coming back again soon to stay for a few weeks after the trial was over and until the wedding.

"My baby is leaving me…" She said with her head in her pillow.

Luke frowned and put his book down beside him before turning to rub her back, "What do you mean she is leaving you?"

Sighing, she rolled over so she could see his face. "She got a paid internship at the New York Times and she will be moving the day after the wedding…"

"Wow…" Luke said propping himself up on his elbow to face her, "That is great for her but that is pretty soon."

Lorelai nodded, "I know. This is such a great opportunity for her and I know this is something she has always wanted. I just hate to see her leave…especially so soon."

Luke nodded, "I understand that…there's been a lot of changes lately. It's a lot to take in all at once. But New York isn't that far away…we can visit her when we want and she will come here too."

Lorelai sighed, "I know. I feel bad for even complaining when April is moving all the way to New Mexico…"

Luke shook his head, "It's okay Lorelai…I know how hard this is for you. It's always been just you and Rory, you'll miss her. I get it."

She pouted, "We talked about it but I just want her to know that no matter how much things change we will always be here for her. I just don't want her to feel like I'm starting this whole new family without her, you know?"

"She knows that…" Luke said running a hand through her hair.

"I hope so…" She whispered as she stared up at him, "I really do…"

"Hey…" Luke scooted closer to her and rolled on top of her, holding himself up so he didn't crush her. "It's going to be okay…I promise."

Lorelai felt her eyes well up with tears, "I'm sorry I'm getting so emotional…I just don't want to lose my baby. For the longest time she was all I had…my only family."

"I know that." He said reaching a hand up to brush fresh tears away, "But I'm a part of your family now too, right?"

Lorelai smiled up at him, "Yes. You are."

"And I'm not going anywhere…and neither is Rory really. Just because she is moving away doesn't mean she isn't still your daughter just like April will still be my daughter too. Our family is changing and growing and it's a little scary but we will get through this together. Okay?" He said leaning down to kissing her softly.

"I love you…" Lorelai said as she held him close, "I love you so much…"

"I love you too…" Luke said staring down at her with a smile, "It's going to be okay."

"You're right…" She said with a smile, "Although I may need you to keep reminding me that over the next few weeks…"

He chuckled, "I can do that. Just let me know when you are feeling a little insecure about it all okay?"

Lorelai nodded, "Okay…"

"Good…" He rolled over again and Lorelai leaned up so he could put his arm under her neck, "So tell me more about the internship…she'll have a lot to do between now and then. Will she have time to even find an apartment? I know she wants to be here during the trial and she of course will be here for the wedding preparations."

"I guess she talked to my Dad about it before she talked to me. He has a friend who owns an apartment complex in Manhattan and there is an open apartment for her to take. It had two bedrooms and you will never guess who her roommate is going to be."

"Please don't tell me its Logan because I may have a small heart attack if you tell me that." Luke said with a grimace.

"No it's not Logan…apparently they are on a break. But her roommate is going to be Paris. Apparently she got an internship too." Lorelai said with a smirk.

"Okay is Paris like a weird stalker? She followed her to Yale and now to New York too?" He said with a chuckle. "And when did they decide to take a break?"

"No Paris isn't a stalker," Lorelai said with a small laugh, "She's an…interesting character that one but I think she's good for Rory. She pushes her and they know each other so well I'll be happy to have them staying together. I don't want her alone in the City…and apparently they decided to take a break very recently. She doesn't seem that upset about it though. I can't tell if she is just saying that because she thinks I have enough going on or she just thinks it's a good idea."

"Well Rory is a smart girl…she knows what she wants in life. If she thinks this is a good thing for her and Logan to have a break or even to break up for good then that has to be her decision." Luke said.

"You're just happy because you never really liked Logan…" Lorelai said with a chuckle.

Luke shrugged, "I thought she could do better, that's all."

"Lets be honest babe, you've never liked any of the guys she has dated. Except for maybe Jess…although now they will be technically related so that could be a little weird." Lorelei's aid wrinkling her nose.

"You know I love my nephew but he wasn't good enough for Rory either…" He said shaking his head, "No guy ever will be…for her or April…in fact they should just become nuns now and save us all the trouble."

Lorelai smiled, "They have to grow up sometime. And besides, don't you want them both to find a love like we have?"

"Sure. But no guy is ever going to be able to love them the way they deserve. Boys are scum." Luke said nonchalantly.

She smiled again, "Some men are scum yes…but not you."

"I'm glad you think so but I think I've had my moments of scuminess." He said with a smirk. "And I think you know that…"

"We all have moments of scuminess…" She said with a chuckle, "Is that even a word?"

"I don't know but it doesn't matter. There really is no guy good enough for Rory or April, not as far as I'm concerned." He said with a frown.

She smiled and stroked his face gently; "I guess we'll have to let them decide that on their own. But it won't be easy…"

"No…" He said shaking his head as he stared down at her, "I know what it feels like to be heart broken…and I don't ever want either of them to feel that pain."

"Me either…" She said tracing the outline of his jaw, "But I do want them to find a man who loves them the way that you love me…a man that will take care of them no matter what. And for them to do that…they may have to get hurt a few times along the way."

"That's the part I don't like…" He said with a pathetic little pout.

"I have to help you work on that pout…" She said pulling at his lower lip, "You can do better than that…"

"You'll have to give me lessons." He said with a chuckle, "But I don't think anyone can be as effective at the pout as you and Rory…"

"Can you imagine if we have a daughter what it will be like to have a toddler giving you the pout…" She said smirking up at him, "You will be so screwed!"

"God I hope we have boys…" He said with a grimace, "I'm not sure my heart will be able to take it if we have a girl..."

"You'll love her though…so much…" She whispered with a knowing smile, "I can't wait to see you with our baby…"

He smiled, "I can't wait to see YOU with our baby. And for the record I would love to have a girl…one that looks just like you with your dark blue eyes and black curls. She'll melt my heart the minute I meet her just like you did…"

"Can we name her Lorelai too?" She said with a playful smile.

"Naming one kid after you wasn't enough?" He said laughing as he shook his head in disbelief.

She shrugged, "It's a pretty great name…" Luke just laughed more, "But if we do have a boy…I was thinking we could name him William after your Dad…"

Luke stopped laughing and turned toward her in surprise, "You would do that?"

She smiled up at him, "Of course. I know how much your Dad meant to you, and I hate that I never got to meet him. I'd love our son to be named after him…"

Luke smiled, "I'd like that too…"

"Maybe we could have one of each…" Lorelai said with a hopeful smile, "I did have a dream once where I had twins, a boy and a girl.

"I remember you telling me about that. But didn't we name them Sid and Nancy?" He asked staring down at her.

She shook her head; "I changed my mind to Leopold and Lobe."

Luke rolled his eyes, "We are so not naming our kids Leopold and Lobe or Sid and Nancy for that matter…"

"Fine, you're no fun." She said pouting, "We can stick to William…" She paused, "And Lorelai…"

Luke laughed. "You're hopeless…"

"And you get to spend the rest of your life with me!" Lorelai said rolling over to lay over him, "You are so freaking lucky my friend."

"I'm starting to question my mental status at this moment…not sure what I was thinking asking such a crazy women to marry me." He said frowning at her.

She gasped and pinched his stomach, "You take that back!"

He smiled, "Of course I know how lucky I am. And I'm going to think that everyday when I wake up beside you and see you with our future kids. You don't have to worry about that."

Lorelai smiled and leaned down to kiss him passionately. She was still sad to see her daughter go, but she knew it was time for her to make her own life. New York City wasn't that far away and they would see each other when they could. But the best part was that she knew even though Rory was leaving, she wasn't alone anymore. She had a man by her side that wanted to make her happy everyday and for that she was pretty damn lucky.

So I hope you liked it! I know its different than the job Rory actually got on the show but whatever. I wanted her to be closer. So let me know what you think and send in a review! That will help me to write faster! For those of you that are fellow Americans reading this...HAPPY 4th of July! Have a safe and happy holiday!
