Previously: Luke and Rory went to Luke's family cabin. Rory got a present from Luke. They went fishing. As Emily comforts Lorelai at home.

CHAPTER 6: FATHER'S DAY GIFTS

Lorelai sat there in her living room. She's not crying anymore. But she still wanted to. All she could think about was Luke. Emily had left an hour ago. It was close to midnight and Rory was still not home. She wondered where she had gone. She said don't wait up. What could they be doing?

Already midnight, the door bell rang. Lorelai got up to answer. Much to her surprise, and delight, it was Luke, carrying a sleeping Rory on his arms. Though Lorelai wasn't paying attention to Rory, all she was paying attention to was the flannel clad man, that she had missed so much, in front of her.

"Luke?"

"Hey." he said quietly. "Got something for you." he said, raising Rory up a little.

Lorelai, finally realizing Rory's presence, opened the door wider. "Oh. Boy she's beat." she joked.

Luke walked inside the house and walked into Rory's room. Lorelai thought it was cute, the way Luke and Rory looked. Luke carrying Rory,who wasdead to the world, her arms thrown around Luke's and her head buried in the crook ofhis neck. Luke rested Rory in her bed. He made sure that she was all tucked in, covered up and rested.

"So, what were you guys doing that made my daughter all tired up?" she asked, trying to make conversation, as she sat next to Rory on the bed.

"Well, we went to lunch, then the bating cages, and then we went up to the cabin and had a picnic there. We went swimming and fishing. Then we came here." he said, looking anywhere but her. He wasn't really much comfortable talking with Lorelai after…and specially now that she's right in front of him only in a robe. God knows what she has under there, or what she doesn't have under there. Oh boy.

"Excuse me, what?" she asked, looking at him with a shocked expression. "The lunch and the swimming thing I get, but bating cages and fishing? That does not sound like my daughter. At all."

"Yeah. I was surprised too that she wanted to go to the bating cages. But she was pretty good. She hit a couple of balls-"

"Hm. Dirty." she giggled.

Luke rolled his eyes. "Then we went to the cabin. We had a picnic and then we went swimming and then fishing."

"Was she any good."

"Yeah. At least she was easy to teach." he said teasingly at her.

"Hey. I resent that. I'll have you know I caught a fish, while I went fishing the last time."

"Uh-huh. Which died in your bathtub by the way."

"How was I suppose to know that fishes need a certain kind of water. I thought there was only one water period."

Luke shook his head, smiling. It's a wonder that they could fall back into their old bantering even after what happened.

"Shakespeare." they heard Rory.

"What is she saying?" asked Lorelai.

"Shakespeare." mumbled Rory.

"Oh. Shakespeare. It's something I gave her. Actually, she has some stuff in the truck. I'll get them." and then Luke left.

Once Luke left, Lorelai immediately jumped on Rory's bed, tapping her shoulders vigorously. "Mom?"

"Hi." said Lorelai, cheerfully.

"Where's Shakespeare?" she said, her eyes squinting.

"Um, buried somewhere in a graveyard in Europe." she said.

Rory rolled her eyes. "What am I doing here?"

"Gee, I don't know Rory. What are you doing here? In our house? In your room?" she asked sarcastically.

Rory rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean. how did I get here? Where's Dad?"

"Dad?"

Realizing what she had said "I mean Luke."

"No, no, no. why did you say dad?"

"I didn't. I just, it was-"

"Here it is." said Luke, coming inside the room with Shakespeare in hand.

"Shakespeare!" Rory shrieked, grabbing the bear and hugging it tightly.

"You woke her up?" asked Luke, accusingly.

"Yes." said Rory angrily, trying to go back to sleep.

"No!" lied Lorelai. "She woke up. She's just blaming me. Is that Shakespeare?" she said, changing the subject. Rory nodded, resting her head on her pillow, closing her eyes, tightening her grip on the bear. "Aw, cute. Where did you get it?"

"Luke gave it to me." mumbled Rory.

"Really?" Lorelai asked, looking at Luke. "You gave it to her? That is so sweet."

"Yeah, well. She found it in the cabin, she wanted it, I gave it to her." he explained.

"Oh, was it Liz's?"

"No. it was mine."

"Yours? Really?"

"Luke's mom made it for him. And he gave it to me." explained Rory. Luke was blushing.

"That is really sweet Luke." said Lorelai, softly. Then she looked down at her daughter. "You do know that Luke's the one that should get the presents. It's his day." she smirked.

"That's what I said. But Luke wont let me give him anything."

"I don't want anything. And besides, I'm happy buying you all of those stuff."

Lorelai perked. "He gave you stuff?"

Rory nodded enthusiastically. "A lot of them."

"I wanna see presents."

"They're outside. There's a lot so."

"I'll help you." said Lorelai. Luke left. "Don't think I forgot about that whole dad thing." she whispered in Rory's ear before getting up and following Luke in the foyer.

"Wow." said Lorelai, once seeing the many plastic bags in the foyer. "These are all baseball stuff." she said in disgust and horror.

"Yeah. I kind of went overboard with the souvenirs. But, some of the stuff are what Rory found in the cabin that I gave her."

"What did you get her?" she asked, kneeling down, opening the bags.

"Some baseball gloves, a bat. And some outfit they sold at the store that Rory liked."

"Ah, clothes. One of the few things that makes sports great. Oh, I am so gonna borrow this." she said, pulling out a mini checkered skort.

"Yeah. I was kinda hoping that's he didn't want to bye that." said Luke. Lorelai giggled. "We would of stayed longer, but some guys were hitting on Rory, and to save a trip in prison, we just left."

Lorelai smiled. It amazes her of how protective Luke is of Rory. She searched bags more. More clothes. Some stuff from the cabin she's seen once. Then she saw something on the side table. "Well hello. Who's is this?" she asked, pointing to the plastic bag that was sealed that contained a small fish inside.

"Oh, Rory caught that. She said it was too cute to let go. So I told her she could keep it."

"And you let her.?" he nodded. "After you gave me hard time last time I took hope a fish? You do know she is my daughter. It's genetic."

"Well this time I'll make sure she uses the correct water. Do you have a bowl?"

"In the kitchen. Leave the stuff, we'll get it later." she said, as they walked in the kitchen with the fish in Luke's hand.

"Where's Paul Anka?"

"Upstairs probably."

"Oh. He's still alive?" he asked doubtful.

"Yes. Luke. Geesh. After months of having that dog, you still don't trust my canine capabilities?"

"You can never be too sure."

Lorelai rolled her eyes and gave Luke a see through, serving bowl. "Is this ok?"

"Yeah, that'll be good enough. I'll buy a fish bowl tomorrow and put some fresh water in it."

Lorelai smiled, shaking her head. "Man, that daughter of mine has gotten you wrapped around her finger."

She's not the only one. "No she doesn't. I'm just doing this so this fish'll survive."

"Right. Come on Luke. Admit it. You would do anything for Rory." she says as-a-matter-of-factly. "Buy her anything. I mean, you would probably let her away with murder if she were a serial killer." Luke rolled his eyes. "And just look at all those stuff. I mean, not one of those are even yours. All of them are for Rory. And it's father's day. Your day. You're the one that's suppose to be getting presents. And yet, she's the one that ended up being the princess."

"It's ok. I don't want anything. I got to spend the day with Rory. I'm good."

"That's sweet. But you have to want something. Everybody does."

"Well, what I want I can't get. So what's the point." he sighed.

"Oh. See? You do want something." she smiled, triumphantly. "What do you want? Huh? Come on. Tell me. Maybe I can pull a few strings and get it for ya."

"It's nothing."

"Come on Luke. Tell me. I'll get it for ya since I didn't get you anything for today."

"You want to know what I want?" he asked, in a serious tone, looking at her.

"Yes." she grinned, despite his seriousness.

"I want to marry you. Right now. Or whenever you want to. I don't care. I just want to marry you and be with you."

Lorelai stood there. Taken back. She looked at him, searching for a sign saying that he was just kidding. But all she could see was the seriousness in his face. In his eyes. She saw the love that he's had for her. She always saw it in his eyes. And she loved it.

"Luke." but before she could say anything, Luke's lips were on hers. At first, she didn't respond. But feeling his soft lips on hers, she soften up, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Once he felt her soften up to the kiss, Luke pulled her into him, to deepened the kiss. His hands immediately on her hair. He missed the feeling of her hair. Lorelai's hands were also on Luke's hair, caressing it. Lorelai's mouth opened, inviting Luke's tongue in. which he did. They kissed for a while, as their tongues danced. Then they pulled back, breathless.

"What was that?" Lorelai asked, panting, still in their tight embrace.

"That's what I wanted." he said, panting as well.

"I thought you wanted to get married?" she asked softly, smiling.

"That too." he said, giving her another peck. "So, do you want to get married?"

"Are you proposing?" she teased.

Luke rolled his eyes. "Look, Lorelai, I really love you. And I want to be with you. And I am sorry for being such an idiot."

"Luke, no. I'm sorry. I should of told you how I felt in the beginning. Instead of just hiding it. And I shouldn't of had given you that ultimatum." she said, grimacing at her last statement.

"Yeah, but you wouldn't of had been feeling that way if it weren't for me. I'm sorry."

"Tell you what, how bout we're both sorry, and we forget about what happened. I mean, I know it can't be forgotten. We have to make sure it wont happen again. But I would like to start over with us. I want an us again."

"I want it too."

"So, we're still engaged?"

Luke grinned and pulled out the ring from his pocket. "If you'll take me yes."

Lorelai gasped. With wide eyes and a huge grin. "Yes." he placed the ring on her finger and they kissed passionately again. Soon enough, they migrated to the bedroom.

oXoXo

Lorelai rested her head on Luke's chest. Both panting very hard.

"I missed you." she said, placing little kisses on his chest.

"I missed you too." he replied, kissing the top of her head.

"I'm never gonna be that stupid to let you go again."

"I'm never gonna be that stupid to hurt you like that again. I'm really sorry about that Lorelai."

"Hey, what did I say about talking about that? We'll talk about that later. But not now. Now, we celebrate."

"Fine. But I'm still sorry." Lorelai grinned and kissed him again. The kiss was heating but Lorelai pulled back. Luke groaned.

Lorelai giggled. "Sorry, but I want to give you my father's day present."

"I thought that was my present." he said smugly.

"Part of it. Hold on." she smiled, kissing him once more then walked into the bathroom

Luke laid there in their bed, with a smile on his face. Moments later Lorelai came out from the bathroom with a toilet paper in hand. She hopped on the bed and showed it to Luke.

"Toilet paper? That's your gift to me? No offense, but I liked the one earlier better."

Lorelai rolled her eyes. "No. look inside." Lorelai gave Luke the toilet paper. He opened it and saw what was inside.

Luke's eyes went wide. His voice caught in his throat. "Is that…?"

"Yeah." she says softly, smiling. "I did this today, with my mom."

"Emily?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yeah. We've kind of been in contact lately. I asked her to buy it for me, and she came and was with me the whole entire time."

"Emily? Your mother Emily? You asked her to buy you a pregnancy test and she stayed while you took the test?"

"Yeah. I know. Who would of thought. But it was really nice, my mom being there. The last time, my mom would have chewed my head off. But once I found out, I was crying and she just hugged me and told me that everything was gonna be ok."

"It is gonna be ok you know?"

"I guess. Since we're engaged again." she smiled looking at him. "Are you happy?"

"Am I happy? I'm ecstatic. you're pregnant. We're pregnant. And we're getting married. I'm the happiest man alive." his smile was one in a million that made Lorelai melt. He kissed her and she was happy to reciprocate.

"I'm gonna be a daddy." he murmured against her lips.

"Again."

"Yeah. Again." he smiled, then kissed her more.

Rory Gilmore woke up from the aroma filled in the air. It smelled like eggs, bacon, pancakes, no, wait, chocolate chip pancakes, and COFFEE! She soon jerked up, with Shakespeare in hand. She walked up to her door, she heard voices, she opened the door, and smiled at what she saw.

"Come on. Let me help you." wined Lorelai.

"No!" said Luke sternly. He was standing in front of the stove. While Lorelai was embracing him from behind. She'd rest her head on his back, and occasionally kissing it.

"Please. I want to help you. Let me do something." she pouted.

"Why Don't you go make some coffee. That's something you've achieved over the years. And I know you wont mess up."

"No. I can't make the coffee." she said alerted.

"Why not?"

"Because, you have to make the coffee, yours is always better."

Luke rolled his eyes. "I can vouch for that." exclaimed Rory as she exited her room, still with Shakespeare, and a huge grin on her face.

"Hi hon." smiled Lorelai. A genuine smile Rory hasn't seen on her mother's face for quite a while.

"Hey mom." she said, kissing her on the cheek. "hi Luke." she said, kissing him on the cheek. "Hi Janey." said Rory, waving to the fish in the fish bowl.

"Janey?" both Luke and Lorelai asked.

"Jane Austin." she explained.

"Of course." said Lorelai, hugging Luke tighter.

"Mom, are you gonna let go of Luke there?" asked Rory, sitting down.

"No." Lorelai said simply, smiling. Luke smiled also, which Rory saw, but totally oblivious to Lorelai. Rory knew that Luke loved it even though he pretended to be annoyed.

"Ok." said Rory, smiling as well.

"Alright. Chocolate chip pancakes, eggs and bacon." announced Luke as he went to the table, with three plates in hand. He placed the plates on the table, with much difficulty since Lorelai was holding on to him. He sighed. "Lorelai, are you gonna be holding on to me the whole entire time?" he asked, in an irritated voice.

"Yes." he could feel her smiling against his back.

"What happens if I sit down? What are you gonna do about it?" he asked, again, irritated. But he loves it.

"Easy." she says, letting go of him. "Sit down." he does. Then she sat on his lap. "There. Easy." she grinned, eating her pancakes. Luke rolled his eyes.

Rory watched the whole scene and was smiling the entire time. "So, you guys good?" she asked cautiously. She could see the glow from the two.

Luke and Lorelai nodded. "We're better hon." said Lorelai. "Actually, tonight, if you don't have anything to do, Luke and I would like to invite you to dinner at Sniffy's."

"Really?" she asked excitedly. "I love Sniffy's. you're right. The food was amazing."

"Told ya. Sorry hon, but we still love you." she says to Luke. Again, he rolled his eyes.

"Wait, what's the occasion?" asked Rory.

"We're celebrating our re-engagement." said Lorelai excitedly.

Rory squealed. "Really?" they nodded. "That's great." then remembering yesterday. "Hey Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"Now that you and mom are engaged again, I can call you dad now." she smiled.

"Huh. Funny how that worked out." he said coyly.

"Whoa, whoa wait." said Lorelai. "When did you decide this? We've only been re-engaged for eight hours."

"Well, dad and I were talking yesterday and I told him that I really wanted him to be my dad. And he said I could call him dad if I wanted. But it would have been kind of weird since you guys weren't engage then. But now that you guys are engaged again, I can call him dad now."

"That is just so sweet." gushed Lorelai kissing Luke.

"Hey, hey, hey. I'd prefer that you do not do that around the daughter and the food please." scowled Rory.

Luke blushed. Lorelai giggled. "Sorry hon."

"Yeah, yeah." she grumbled.

"And not only the engagement. But also," she paused for dramatic effect. Trying to look serious but couldn't, on account of she's happy. Rory looked at her expectantly. "I'm pregnant." announced Lorelai.

Rory screamed. "You are?" they nodded again. Then she screamed some more and jumped from her seat and hugged them both again. "This is so amazing. You guys are engaged, again. And I'm going to have a baby brother or sister again."

"Again?" Lorelai and Luke asked in unison.

"April and Gigi." she said in a duh tone. Lorelia smiled. Luke was still touched that Rory included April. "This is so unbelievable. I know you guys were engaged before, but I like it this time better since I'm actually here to celebrate." she smiled, sitting back down.

"Oh hon." Lorelai started in an apologetic tone.

"It's ok. Now, about the wedding. I know you wanted to have it at the church you found. But since that wont be happening, maybe we could have it in town. At the inn. Oohh, yeah, the inn. We could have it there, and the reception at the town square. It's gonna be beautiful. and of course Sookie will cater. And we can do the flowers ourselves, and-"

"Hon, slow down." said Lorelai. Both her and Luke had horrified expression on their faces.

"Can't slow down. I have a wedding to plan. I am going top plan this whole wedding. And you two will have no say in it. Both of you may not even be invited." she grinned. Luke and Lorelai shook their heads. "Now, let's see. Luke'll wear a tux."

"What?" Luke said in horror. Lorelai giggled.

"And mom," continued Rory, ignoring Luke. "You already have the dress. But, I'll be keeping the dress in my room from now on."

"What? Why?" Lorelai wined.

"Cause, you're gonna be wearing it every single night." she said, with a knowing grin.

"No I wont." Lorelai sadi unconvincingly.

"Yes you will. You kept wearing it every time you had free time and when Luke wasn't home, ever since you bought it."

"You did?" Luke asked.

"I just wanted to see if it still fits." she wined.

Rory rolled her eyes. "It fits."

"But now that I'm pregnant, I'm gonna be gaining weight. So I need the dress with me at all times to see if it fits."

Rory sighed. "Tell you what. You can wear it every now and then. Only with permission." she says sternly. "And if it's tight, we'll get it altered. It's still staying in my room. And don't even think about taking it while I'm at Yale, if I have to, which I probably would, I will take the dress to Yale with me." despite her mother's complaining and wining, Rory continued. "Now, the flowers. You guys settled on daisy's…."
