Chapter one

"Lorelai? Are you ready? You'll be late for school! And if you're late you'll miss basketball practice!" Troy yelled up the stairs.

"Dad I know, I'm putting my makeup on! I'll be down in a sec!" Lorelai said as she finished putting on her lip gloss, unplugged her curling iron, got her backpack and ran down the stairs.

"Dean's picking me up today so I'll see you at school!" She said giving him a quick hug, grabbing an apple, and running outside. Troy looked outside and watched his daughter drive off with his best friend's son. It reminded him of how he and Gabriella used to be.

Flashback

"Hey wildcat!" Gabriella said running to Troy's car.

"Hey My little freaky science chick!" Troy said kissing her.

"My nickname is much longer than yours!"

"And that, my dear is what makes you special!" Troy said as they drove off.

End of Flashback

'Why did I let her leave? She took Cecelia and I took Lorelai. I'll never get to see my other little girl. Lorelai will never know her sister.'

"Daddy, I can't tie my shoes can you help me?" Joshua said walking down the stairs. When Troy and Gabi got back together, Gabi had Joshua, but they broke up again and Gabriella allowed Troy to take Joshua because her life was too hectic and she could only handle Cecelia. Gabi also said that Lorelai and Joshua were spitting images of him.

"Okay, come here Wildcat!" Troy said sitting on his knees.

"Daddy? Where's mommy?"

"Mommy's In New York." Troy said while tying his son's shoes.

"Why isn't she here wit us?" He asked.

"You ask too many questions! Just like your mom." Troy said standing up.

"How am I like you?" He said another question.

"You have my hair, my old nickname, my feet, and my smile." He said smiling.

"How and I like mommy?"

"You have her ears, her Intelligence, her sense of humor, and her eyes."

"OK!" He said grabbing his backpack and walking to the car.

"Glad that's over. Now I just gotta worry about Jessica Marcus's three pointers."

At Gabriella's

"Cecelia, hurry up! Unless you wanna go live in a cardboard box, you will hurry up." Gabriella said at bottom of her new houses' staircase. Her company had transferred her to Albuquerque because they needed more people there.

"Coming!"

"Hurry, you don't wanna be late for your first day at east high, now do you?"

"No mom." Cecelia said.

"Come let's go, let's go!" She said rushing her daughter out of the house.

"Mom. What was dad like?" Cecelia asked her mom.

"He was funny, sweet, GORGEOUS, and loving."

"Well then why did he leave?"

"Because I asked him to."

"Why?"

"Because I did."

"Okay."
