Okay okay, I know it has been done a million times before but its my version of what happened after the proposal, hopefully it's a little bit different. Please review as this is my first Gilmore Girls fanfic and want to know if I'm on the right track. It starts straight after Lorelai proposes in the diner. Hope you enjoy….

"Don't move" Luke told her sternly. He grasped her arms and pulled her out of her seat gently before holding her in place.

"Luke, what-"

"Just don't move" He told her again, he let her go hesitantly and when he was sure she wasn't planning on moving he ran behind the counter and up the stairs to his apartment. Lorelai stood patiently where he left her, listening carefully she could hear him upstairs. A minute later she heard his loud footsteps coming back down the stairs.

"Okay" Luke began as she moved to stand in front of her. "I want you to forget what you just asked me"

"Why?" Lorelai started to get nervous.

"Because when the town hears that you proposed to me I'll never hear the end of it"

"Huh?" Now she was confused. He pulled something from his pocket and held it towards Lorelai. He opened the small case slowly, revealing a diamond ring.

"Will you marry me?" Lorelai's face turned from confusion to sheer happiness. A large smile appeared brightening up her once defeated eyes.

"Yes" Luke smiled back, pulling the ring out of the box and placing it on her finger. He placed his arms around her waist and pulled her close. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled him in to a deep slow kiss. It heated up quickly and soon they were both heading upstairs to finish what they started.

Lorelai lay to one side, her head resting gently on his chest. Her left hand was raised in the air, letting the diamond glisten in the moonlight.

"I love this ring" Luke smiled gently. She hadn't stopped staring at ring since he had placed it there.

"Good"

"Where'd you get it?"

"It actually belonged to my Mom"

"Really?" Lorelai looked up at Luke, genuinely interested.

"I was clearing out all the junk that came with the boat and came across this small tin box. My dad must have hidden it away sometime before he died…..anyway inside I found a pile of photos, all of my Mom when she was younger, cinema stubs, train tickets, receipts, you name it. It was like everything that reminded Dad of Mom. Right at the bottom hidden in one corner was this small box and inside that was the ring."

"I love it" She pulled her hand back and held it tightly against her body, protecting the ring.

"So did she"

"Well look at it, who wouldn't"

"But she loved it for another reason…you see when my parents got engaged my Dad couldn't afford a ring, Mom didn't mind but Dad was determined to get her a ring. So everyday for nearly a year he would save up a little and put it into a collection. She loved the ring not because it was beautiful but because everyday he was saving up it meant a day he was thinking about her."

"Okay, now I have an amazing story to go with my amazing ring" Lorelai lifted her head up and placed a gentle kiss on Luke's lips. "I'm never taking it off"

"That's good to hear" They kissed again before falling into a comfortable silence. Neither could fall asleep from sheer excitement.

"Hey Lorelai?" Luke began nearly ten minutes later.

"Mmm?"

"Why did you propose?"

"I didn't"

"Yes you did"

"Nope, I distinctly remember you proposing to me"

"Is there any chance that you have a faint memory of you proposing first?"

"Very faint"

"Okay, so why?"

"Because as you stood there going on about kidnapping Rory, an idea we must come back to by the way, you stood there and totally backed me up, no questions asked and you never have, asked questions I mean. If I asked you to do something for me then you would just do it, whether it was fixing a window or lending me thirty thousand dollars. You're the only person who has always been there for me no matter what. In that moment I saw a future with you and there was no way that I was letting the man I love get away…that's why"

"You've never said that before" Luke managed to say after taking in her words.

"Said what?"

"The man I love, you've never told me you love me before" Lorelai, looked back up at Luke.

"I've never told any man that before"

"Not even-…"

"I love you Luke, not Jason, not Max and certainly not Christopher"

"I love you too but do you think you could refrain from saying their names when we're in bed together"

"Same for Rachel and Nicole and we have a deal" They shook hands and kissed again. "I saw kids" Lorelai began after another relaxing silence.

"Huh?"

"In the future I saw for us, there were kids"

"How many?"

"Two"

"Two's a good number" Lorelai smiled.

"Yes it is" Lorelai tried to keep her eyes open hoping the night would never end but soon her eyelids won, letting her slip comfortably to sleep. Luke followed her only minutes later.
