I know, I know! I'm rubbish at finishing stories! But I did get this idea and am determined to keep with it! :) I really enjoyed doing the story about Rory and Sophie but I thought I'd do one with Rory having a twin brother.
So Lorelai had twins, Rory and her twin brother Jamie. The three of them are close just like Lorelai and Rory on the show. This starts at the beginning of season 1. This will be a javajunkie story eventually as well.
Chapter 1
Lorelai goes into the diner and waits at the counter.
"Please, please, please!" Lorelai begged Luke as he walked up to her.
"How many have you had today?" He said.
"None." She lied.
"Plus?"
"Five but yours is better!"
He sighed in frustration but gave her some coffee.
"Thanks!" She grinned and went and sat at a table.
"Junkie." He muttered.
As she was sat at the table, a young guy approached her. "Hey! I'm Joey." He said.
"Um hi..." She said.
"That looks really good." He commented.
"Oh it is. You should get some." She smiled.
"I will. So may I join you?"
"Um well I'm actually waiting for some people." She said.
"Uh huh. So have you not got a name?" He pressed on, sitting down on a chair.
"I have but I really am waiting for some people so..." She hinted, trying to get him to go away.
"Oh ok, well if you change your mind, I'll be by the counter." He said.
"Nice meeting you Joey." She smiled, shaking her head when his back was turned.
Just then, Rory and Jamie entered the diner.
"Hey!" Lorelai's face brightened seeing her daughter and son.
They smiled at her and sat down with her.
"How was school?" She asked.
"Sucked." Jamie said.
"Fine. Could do with some coffee though." Rory said.
"Coffee for you, grumpy?" Lorelai asked Jamie.
Jamie gave her a look. "Let me think, um no." He said sarcastically. Jamie hadn't inherited the love of coffee from his mom and sister.
"You should give it another chance." Lorelai grinned.
"Would rather not kill myself thanks." He said.
"You've been around Luke too long!" She grumbled going over to the counter.
"Hey! Coffee for Rory and a coke for Jamie please!" She said.
Luke stared at her.
"I swear it's for Rory! Look she's over there!" She said turning round. She saw the same guy, Joey, talking to Joey. "Huh! He's got some nerve!" She said.
"Hey. I was just passing by." He said to Rory. He looked at Jamie. "Boyfriend?"
Jamie smirked. "Now that would be wrong..."
Lorelai came back then. "Hey! You really like my table don't you?" She said.
"Oh hey! I was just..." Joey said.
"Getting to know my daughter?" She smiled.
"Your daughter?" He said surprised.
"Yeh. She's 16 so you may want to move on." Lorelai smiled.
"Bye." He said quickly and disappeared.
Later that day, Lorelai rushed into the kitchen of the inn, holding a letter. "Sookie! She did it! Rory got in!"
"Oh my god! She got into Chilton?" She squealed.
"Yeh! They had a drop out. She can start on monday."
Just then Rory and Jamie walked in.
"Hey mom!" Rory smiled. They stopped when they saw both Sookie and their mom staring at them beaming.
Jamie leaned over to Rory. "Is it just me or does it look like mom did something slutty?" He said.
Rory laughed. "So what's up?"
"Babe you did it. You got in." Lorelai smiled holding up the letter.
"Got in?" Rory said confused.
Jamie caught on quicker than Rory. "She got into Chilton?" He asked.
Lorelai nodded. He smiled at her sister. "Congrats sis! You're officially a private school kid." He smiled, genuinely happy for her.
Rory couldn't believe it. "Oh my god! I got in? I can't believe it! I need to go tell Lane!" She said. She ran back and hugged her mom. "I love you mom!"
"Love you too kid." She smiled, proudly.
She then ran to her brother and hugged him too. "Love you too!" She said happily.
"Congrats Ror. You deserve it." He smiled. He watched her run out.
Lorelai looked at Jamie. "You ok?"
"Of course. She deserved it." Jamie said.
"But you..."
"I didn't want to go to Chilton. I like Stars Hollow High." He said. "It's cool, mom. I'll meet you at home." He said.
"Ok hon." She said giving his shoulder a squeeze. "Love you too kid."
Jamie looked back while walking out of the room, rolling his eyes. "Yeh yeh! See you later!" He said.
Lorelai was on the phone when she got home, finding Jamie on the sofa watching a sports programme on the tv.
"Can't I just pay you some now and the rest later?...No I don't want you to give her place away...It's fine, I'll sort it. Bye." She said hanging up. "Yeh thanks for nothing." She muttered.
"What's wrong?" Jamie asked.
"They want a big deposit now. I don't have the money." Lorelai said.
"For Chilton?"
"Yeh. I need to find the money by monday or else they'll give her place away." She said, looking down. "There's only one thing I can do really but it's going to come with strings..."
Jamie caught on. "Mom no! You can't go to Grandma and Grandpa. We'll find a way." He said. He never liked how his grandparents constantly put his mom down.
"I have no other option." Lorelai sighed. "This is for Rory. I need to do it."
The next day, Lorelai came back from visiting her parents. She'd only told Jamie the outcome of the conversation as she didn't want Rory knowing. However, later that day, Rory had a completely different attitude.
They were sat in Luke's when Lorelai brought up the dinner at their grandparents' on friday.
"It just doesn't seem like the right time. I mean I know it must be costing you a lot. I just don't want to go yet." Rory said.
"Ok stop this, Rory. You're going. End of." Lorelai said.
"We'll see." Rory muttered and got up and left.
"I'll meet you at home." Jamie said and ran after Rory.
"Rory wait!" Jamie shouted after her running to catch up with her. "Why are you being so ungrateful?"
"Just leave it Jamie!" She muttered.
"No I won't! It's about that boy isn't it?" He said.
Rory looked at him. "How did you..."
"Miss Patty." He answered.
"Should have known..."
"Rory, you can't throw this all away for a boy. Chilton's all you wanted for the past year!"
"Why do you even care?!"
"Because! I know what mom's had to go through to get the money to send you to Chilton!" He shouted. "You have no idea!"
"What do you mean?" Rory asked confused.
"Oh just forget it! Throw your life away! See if I care!" He said storming into their house, knowing he'd said too much.
Rory was left thinking about what he had said.
Lorelai arrived a few minutes later.
"Mom, where did you get the money from?" Rory asked, calmer.
"It doesn't matter."
"It does. Jamie said I had no idea what you had to go through to get the money..."
Lorelai sighed. "I went to your grandparents." She admitted.
Suddenly everything made sense to Rory. "The dinner..."
"Oh yes. The one of many to come. Nothing comes without a price with them." Lorelai said.
Rory sighed. "I'm sorry mom."
"Oh hon. I don't know why you changed your mind but please don't throw this chance away." She said.
That evening, they all headed to Luke's after an eventful dinner at the Gimore Mansion.
"So how many dinners do you think we need to go through before we're off the hook?" Rory asked.
"Until my funeral probably." Lorelai sighed. She then looked at Rory. "Hey..."
Rory smiled. "Can't let a good plaid skirt go to waste." She said.
"Oh hon, you won't be sorry." She said.
"I'm sorry I was so stupid." She said ashamed, looking at both of them.
"Don't worry about it." Jamie smiled at his sister, glad she had seen sense.
Luke then came over to them. Lorelai took a double take at him. "Wow...um...you look...nice..." She stuttered.
Jamie and Rory smirked at each other.
"Yeh I had an appointment at the bank." He said. "You..um..look nice too."
"I had to see my parents." She said.
"So what can I get you?" He asked.
"Coffee please and a burger." Lorelai grinned.
"Same for me please and some chili fries please!" Rory said.
"Nice palate you've got there." He said sarcastically.
"Turkey sandwich please and a coke please." Jamie said.
"Now you two can learn something from him!" Luke said pointing at Jamie.
"Yeh whatever! He's just been hanging around you too much. Don't worry, Jamie, we can still save you!" Lorelai joked.
"Yeh we'll make you an unhealthy eater yet!" Rory played along.
"You two are crazy!" Jamie rolled his eyes.
"My sentiments exactly!" Luke said smirking at them and walking off to get their order.
So what do you think? Should I continue? Let me know! :)
