Today is the day. Rory turns 12 years old. Lorelai's thoughts run wild,
because this was an important birthday.
Looking at the clock, Lorelai sees it's 7:30 am. Why on earth is she
awake at this hour on a Saturday ? Oh yeah, her little girl is about to
grow up.
Groaning, Lorelai gets up and takes a shower. Then gets dressed
and heads downstairs. Hearing a knock at the door, she opens it to
find Sookie. She lets her best friend in.
" Good morning Lorelai. As promised, I'm here to fix Rory a birthday
chef breakfast. " Sookie happily informs her.
" Aw, yes. I washed all the cooking dishes last night, ready for you to
use. Thank you so much for this Sookie. Rory will love this. " Lorelai
replies.
Sookie goes in the kitchen and begins cooking eggs, bacon, fruit,
and pancakes for all of them. Lorelai puts on some fresh coffee
and goes to wake Rory.
Lorelai sneaks into the room and kisses Rory on the cheek.
" Happy Birthday, kid. " Lorelai says and Rory smiles, now awake.
" Hi, mom. Thanks. " Rory replies.
" Sweetie, get up and get dressed. Sookie has one of your gifts in the
kitchen. Take a shower so you don't have to take one tonight. "
Lorelai tells her daughter leaving the room.
Rory gets up and goes in the bathroom, getting in the shower.
Once out, Rory gets dressed and goes to the kitchen. There she
sees an dream breakfast made by her mom's best friend.
Rory's eyes light up and she takes a seat next to Lorelai and Sookie.
" Wow ! This is awesome ! Thank you Sookie ! " Rory exclaims.
Sookie smiles and nods.
" You're welcome, honey. Happy Birthday ! " Sookie tells Rory.
" Thanks. " Rory replies.
They eat breakfast for the next 40 minutes then Sookie cleans up
and leaves.
Rory sits next to her mom on the couch. Lorelai sighs, knowing the
moment has arrived.
" Rory...we have to talk about some things. Girl stuff that comes with
this birthday. " Lorelai finally says dreadfully.
Rory looks at her worried.
" What stuff mom ? " Rory asks.
" At this age Rory, your body is preparing for something called
puberty. You're no longer a child. Well, at least not medically
speaking. I can't give an exact date or even time frame, but
more than likely soon you will get your period. When that happens,
we will have another more serious talk. You will notice hair in
certain areas of your body. For social and hygenieic reasons,
you must shave. " Lorelai takes a breath, with awe looking Rory.
" Mom...I...I don't know how to shave. Will you show me how ? "
Rory nervously asks.
" Yes, sweetie. Of course I will. There's something else. There
these things called hormones. This around the age they start to
make themselves known to you. They will cause mood swings,
sexual feelings, skin acne, and breast growth. " Lorelai informs
Rory, who is now smiling.
" Oh oh ! Mom, can we go bra shopping soon ? ! " Rory asks
excited.
Lorelai laughs.
" Yes, sweetie. We can go tomorrow. Do you have any questions
about any of this ? " Lorelai asks carefully.
" No, I understand. " Rory replies.
Lorelai hugs Rory and ruffles her hair.
" Good kid. Go play if you want for a little while. You're party is in
five hours. " Lorelai pats her back and Rory runs to her room to
her room to play.
