Richard & Emily's Secret

Richard's in the hospital with cancer and it doesn't look like he'll make it.

~~~****~~~

Richard was lying in his hospital bed and Emily is sitting next to him, they are watching TV, as Lorelai walks in the room. Lorelai notices that they are watching MTV.

"Hey. Are you watching MTV?"

Richard fumbles with the remote but it's too late.

ANOUNCER: Our next performers are newer band call "The Actors" and their lead singer would like to dedicate this performance to her father, Richard Gilmore.

Lorelai look at her mother and father expectantly. "What's going on?"

Emily stands and walks toward Lorelai. "Lorelai, let's go for a walk and I'll explain everything."

Richard looks at Emily. "I think this something we all need to talk about." He looks at Lorelai and can see the confusion in her eyes.

"Together."

Emily nods knowing she won't win this fight with Richard. Emily walks over and sits in the chair next to Richard's bed.

Richard motioned for Lorelai to sit in the chair on the other side of the bed as he began to speak; he also began to fidget nervously. "I'm not really sure where to start."

"How about you tell me why that girl on MTV was dedicating a song to her 'father, Richard Gilmore'?" Lorelai asks her voice full of anger.

Emily decided it was her turn to try and explain. "She called him her father because Richard is her father." Taking Richard's hand. "About a month before you told us you were pregnant with Rory I found out I was pregnant."

Lorelai stood and began to pace. "You're telling me I have a sister."
