CHRISTMAS DAY

Luke begins to wake up. He looks over at Lorelai who is still sleeping and stares at her for a minute. He shakes her gently and whispers her name into her ear.

"Good morning." Luke says as Lorelai begins to wake up.

"Morning." Lorelai says while yawning. "Are the kids up yet?" She asks looking at Luke.

"No. I haven't heard them yet. I will go see if Liz is awake and you go get them." Luke says as he gets out of bed.

"OK. I will meet you downstairs." Lorelai says leaning over to give Luke a kiss. "Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas." Luke says with a big smile on his face.

Luke goes downstairs to wake Liz and Will. Lorelai goes into Rory's room to wake Jess and Rory.

"Hey sweets. Wake up. We have to go see what Santa brought you." Lorelai says as she kneels beside Rory's bed and gently shakes both kids.

"Morning mommy." Rory says while yawning, the same way Lorelai did earlier.

"Morning Auntie Lorelai." Jess says as he sits up in the bed.

"OK so are you two ready to see what Santa left for you last night?" Lorelai asks as she helps the two kids out of bed.

"Yay!!" Both kids yell.

Lorelai walks downstairs with Jess and Rory. Luke, Liz and Will are all sitting on the floor by the tree waiting for them.

"Kitchen! I cook like daddy!" Rory says as she runs over to her kitchen.

Jess walks over to his tool bench and says "I just like papa." Jess picks up the toy hammer and begins hammering stuff on his bench.

"Come on guys you have lots more presents to open." Liz says.

Lorelai sits next to Luke and whispers into his ear "She loves her kitchen." Then she kisses him on the cheek. Rory ran over to Luke and sits on his lap.

"Merry Christmas daddy." Rory says.

"Merry Christmas Sweetie."

"You cook with me later in my kitchen." Rory says pointing to her new kitchen. Luke smiles and kisses her on the top of her head.

Rory and Jess open their presents first. Each of them got a bunch of books, an art set, clothes, and stuffed animals. Rory got a baby doll and clothes for the doll and Jess got a car set and track.

"The living room looks like a Toys R Us just exploded." Lorelai says laughing as she helps Liz clean up the wrapping paper.

"Yea these two kids sure are loved." Liz says.

After Lorelai and Liz finish cleaning up the wrapping paper Jess goes to play with his work bench and Rory goes to her kitchen.

"Jess I make you breakfast while you at work." Rory says.

"OK." Jess says as he pretends to work.

Lorelai, Luke, Liz and Will watch them play for a little while then decide to open their presents. Will opens the present from Jess and Rory first.

"Jess, Rory. Papa is opening the present you got him." Luke calls to them. The two kids come running over and stand in front of Will to watch him open the present.

"Aww this is great you guys! I love it." Will says as he holds up the dry clay impression of their hand prints with We love you, Papa written on it.

Liz opens her present from Luke and Lorelai next.

"Aww you guys I love it." Liz says as she takes out a pair of jeans and a v-neck baby blue sweater from the box.

"Make sure you try them on before you leave. I have the receipts upstairs if they don't fit." Lorelai says.

The adults finish up opening presents.

Luke gets a 'Worlds Greatest Dad' shirt and a new baseball hat from Rory. From Lorelai he gets a new jacket and gloves. And from his dad he gets some new clothes.

Lorelai gets a 'Worlds Greatest Mom' shirt and a pair of slippers from Rory. From Will she gets a nice camera. Luke gives her a white gold necklace with a small white gold heart on it.

Liz gives both Luke and Lorelai a gift certificate to a fancy restaurant and tells them she will take Rory overnight one night so they can have the entire evening alone.

Liz opens her present from Will. She gets the same camera as Lorelai.

"Thanks dad."

"You are welcome. Now you better take lots of pictures of Jess and send them to us." Will says.

"Well dad I was actually thinking of moving back to Stars Hollow." Liz says.

"Really?" Will asks with a huge smile on his face.

"Really. I miss you guys and I want Jess to grow up around family."

"That is great Liz."

"OK dad. We couldn't wrap your present so we will have to tell you what it is." Luke says.

"Daddy, remember when mom was alive and you always talked about putting up a back porch?"

"Yea." Will says in a bit of a sad tone as he remembers his late wife.

"Well we are going to build you one." Lorelai says. "Well actually Luke is going to build it but we all chipped in for the supplies."

"Wow...I don't know what to say. Thank you. This is the best present I have gotten." Will says.

Will gets up and hugs Lorelai, Liz and Luke. Then he goes over to where Jess and Rory were and gives them each a kiss on the head.

"Hey Lorelai, Can you come and take a drive with me?" Luke asks.

"Um Luke I am in my pajamas."

"Just go and throw some jeans on."

"Uh...OK. I will be right back." She says as she gets up off the floor.

Lorelai goes upstairs and puts on some jeans and grabs one of Luke's hoodies.

"All set?" Luke asks as Lorelai walks down the stairs.

"Yup. Are we bringing Rory?"

"No my dad and Liz can keep an eye on her. We won't be long."

"OK. Lets go."

Luke and Lorelai walk outside and get into Luke's car.

"So do we have a destination or are we being spontaneous?"

"We have a destination." Luke says simply.

"Care to tell me where?"

"Nope."

They arrive at the field that Luke used to go to all the time. They get out of the car and walk over to the huge tree in the middle of the field.

"Wow this is a big tree."

"Yup. This was where we would always have picnics in the spring and summer." Luke says as they both sit down leaning on the tree.

"It's nice. We should all come here and have a picnic in the spring. I bet your dad would love it."

"Yea that would be nice."

"So...what's up? Why did you want me to come with you here?"

"Well one reason is because I always come here on Christmas...to feel closer to my mom. Another reason is because I wanted to give you something."

"Give me something? But you already gave me a Christmas present."

"Well technically this isn't a Christmas present." Luke pauses."Lorelai I love you and Rory so much. I know we haven't known each other for very long but it seems like forever." Luke says as he pulls out the little black box from his pocket. "Now this isn't what you might think it is." He says handing it to her.

Lorelai opens the box and stares at the beautiful ring. "Wow, its gorgeous."

"It's a promise ring. One day...soon, I will replace it with an engagement ring."

"So, its like a promise that one day we will get engaged?"

"Uh...yea."

Lorelai looks into Luke's eyes and leans in for a kiss. She breaks the kiss but their heads are still extremely close. "I love it. Thank you." She leans in and kisses him again.

"Luke." Lorelai says breaking the kiss once again.

"Oh Sorry." Luke says backing away.

"No...no its not that." Lorelai says smiling. "I just wanted to say thank you."

"You already did." He says smiling.

"No, not for the ring. I want to thank you for being there for me and Rory. I never had a real best friend before and once I had Rory all my regular friends seemed to disappear. It's been really nice having a best friend who I can count on and who my daughter can count on."

Luke just smiles and says "I love you."

"I love you too." Lorelai says.

They sit there for a while longer before deciding to go back to the house and have their Christmas brunch.

"We are back!" Luke calls out as they walk into the house.

"Hmmm where is everybody?" Lorelai says.

They go into the kitchen and Liz and Will are starting the brunch and Rory and Jess are at the table looking at some books.

"Hey what are you guys doing?" Luke asks.

"Well big brother, you cook for us all the time so we wanted to cook for you. Well at least help because I don't think you are about to trust anyone with that ham."

Luke laughs and says "Thanks."

Luke finishes up the ham, Lorelai and Liz set the table and Will get everyones drinks.

They all sit down and enjoy a Christmas brunch with the people they love the most.
